Be Ready When He Comes

Would you flee from sin and serve the Lord?
Be ready when He comes;
He will soon appear with His reward,
Be ready when He comes.

Refrain:
Be ready, be ready,
Be ready when He comes;
Be ready, be ready,
Be ready when He comes.

It is not His will that you be lost,
Be ready when He comes;
Would you save your soul at any cost?
Be ready when He comes.

Do you know the end of time is near?
Be ready when He comes;
Can you live and die in sin’s career?
Be ready when He comes.

There is awful danger in delay,
Be ready when He comes;
Will you cast your only hope away?
Be ready when He comes.

Best Friends

Cold and in the snow an orphan with no place to go ask a man
Sir can you spare a dime
The man shook his head he said I’ll tell you something instead
You see that little house down the street
Knock on the door and say John 3:16 sent me

She looked at his tattered coat, his worn out shoes and little
Red nose she said ..come on in there’s warm food on the stove
He ate and then she said “a warm bath for you then off to bed’
That’s’ when she saw a tear run down his cheek
He said mam I don’t know John 3:16 I don’t know why but he
Has sure been good to me today

He’s made this poor boy glad and Im thankful for the food the fire
And the good warm bed. When you see him will you tell him for me
…Im not cold – lonely – or sad….
and that John 3:16 has been the best friend I’ve ever had

Years came and went and often she would think of him
and remember when he knelt down and prayed.
Revival came to town
They said the preacher was renown
so she went to the church down the street.
When he stood to preach tears ran down her cheeks
He said open up your bible to John 3:16

He said He made this lost boy saved
and Im thankful for His sacrifice
and what He did that day…He found me when I just a lad
Im not orphaned or alone and now I have a dad…
and John 3:16 is still the best friend I’ve ever had

Walking By Faith

The road I face ahead may not be easy
There may be some twists and turns along the way
But I'm thankful that the Lord, He leads me
And His guiding hand will help me stand
as I struggle day by day

I'm walking by faith and not by sight
Living for the Lord and doing what's right
Knowing my sins have all been covered
by the Great I am (I am)
No need to worry, fear or care
for the Lord is always there
Let come what may
I'm on my way
I'm walking by faith

Sometimes I can't see what lies before me
And I follow him into the darkness night
But every step I take it draws me closer
And I won't turn around
because I found that Jesus is the Light (the Light)

I'm walking by faith and not by sight
Living for the Lord and doing what's right
Knowing my sins have all been covered
by the Great I am (I am)
No need to worry, fear or care
for the Lord is always there
Let come what may
I'm on my way
I'm walking by faith

Let come what may
I'm on my way
I'm walking by faith

What A Wonderful Savior Is He

I once wandered out in sin and despair
But the Savior heard me pleading in prayer
Broke the chains of Satan setting me free
What a wonderful Savior is He

What a wonderful Savior is He
What a wonderful Savior to me
How He loved me so
I never could see
What a wonderful Savior is He

Weak unworthy I was wandering that day
With the light of love that shown on my way
Just as sinful as a sinner could be
What a wonderful Savior is He

What a wonderful Savior is He
What a wonderful Savior to me
How He loved me so
I never could see
What a wonderful Savior is He

What a wonderful Savior is He
What a wonderful Savior to me
How He loved me so
I never could see
What a wonderful Savior is He

What a wonderful Savior is He

What a Savior, What a Master

1. There's a man who can walk on water
and calm the raging seas.
He can bind up the broken hearted
and set the captives free.
He can heal you and He can fill you
with love you've never known.
What a Savior, what a Master.
Do you call Him your own?

What a Savior and what a Master
and what a friend is He
Left his glory and went to Calvary
Just to set me free.
To describe Him would take forever
so I'll just simply say:
What a Savior what a Master,
Do you know Him today?

2. Just imagine that we're in heaven
and all our troubles are gone.
 oh what singing and oh what shouting,
and how were gonna carry on.
when we see our blessed Jesus
I believe were gonna say.
what a Savior what a Master,
He took my sins all away.

What a Savior and what a master
and what a friend is He
Left his glory and went to Calvary
Just to set me free.
To describe Him would take forever
so I'll just simply say.
What a Savior what a Master,
Do you know Him today?

What a Savior what a master,
Do you know Him today?

Sowin' Love

I use to love to walk behind my daddy
As he plowed our garden every spring
Our little bare feet in the dirt would make me happy
As we talked about what harvest time would bring

He'd say son this whole world is like a garden
And what you sow your surely gonna reap
Where bitter seeds are planted hearts will harden
But a caring hand will make the harvest sweet

And he was sowin' love for the family
Yeah, he was sowin' love, he took a little extra time
Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest
Like a good father does he was sowin' love

How I use to love and sit and watch my momma
Workin' with her needle and her thread
So patiently she'd listen to our problems
And we knew she heard every word we said

She'd say, "Children this old world is full of scratches
And in your life your bound to have a few"
I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches
So we could start each day out feelin' new

Yes, she was sowin' love for the family
She was sowin' love, she took a little extra time
Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest
Like a good momma does she was sowin' love

Yeah, they were sowin' love for the family
They were sowin' love, they took a little extra time
Lookin' forward to a bountiful harvest
They took good care of us they were sowin' love
Yeah, they did it all for us they were sowin' love

One Day At A Time

I'm only human I'm just a man
Help me to believe in what I could be and all that I am
Show me the stairway that I have to climb
Lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

One day at a time sweet Jesus that's all I'm asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine
So for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

Do you remember when you walked among men
Well Jesus you know if you're looking below it's worse now than then
Pushing and shoving crawding my mind
So for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

One day at a time sweet Jesus that's all I'm asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine
Yes just for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

Thy Word

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path

When I feel afraid
Think I've lost my way
Still you're there right beside me
And nothing will I fear
As long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my guide
And hold me to your side
I will love you to the end

Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path

Daystar Shine Down On Me

Lily of the Valley, let your sweet aroma fill my life
Rose of Sharon show me how to grow in beauty in God's sight
Fairest of ten thousand make me a reflection of your light
Daystar shine down on me let your love shine through me in the night

Lead me Lord, I'll follow. Anywhere you open up the door
Let your word speak to me, show me what I've never seen before
Lord I want to be your witness, you can take what's wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me, let your love shine through me in the night

Lord I've seen a world that's dying wounded by the master of deceit
Groping in the darkness, haunted by the years of past defeat
But when I see you standing near me shining with compassion in your eyes
I pray Jesus shine down on me let your love shine through me in the night

Lead me Lord, I'll follow anywhere you open up the door
Let your word speak to me, show me what I've never seen before
Lord I want to be your witness, you can take what's wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me, let your love shine through me in the night

O Master Let Me Walk With Thee

1
O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.

2
Help me the slow of heart to move
by some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.

3
Teach me thy patience; still with thee
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong;

4
In hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future’s broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live.

O Let Me Walk With Thee

1
O let me walk with Thee, my God,
As Enoch walked in days of old;
Place Thou my trembling hand in Thine,
And sweet communion with me hold;
E’en though the path I may not see,
Yet, Jesus, let me walk with Thee.

2
I cannot, dare not, walk alone;
The tempest rages in the sky,
A thousand snares beset my feet,
A thousand foes are lurking nigh.
Still Thou the raging of the sea,
O Master! let me walk with Thee.

3
If I may rest my hand in Thine,
I’ll count the joys of earth but loss,
And firmly, bravely journey on;
I’ll bear the banner of the cross
Till Zion’s glorious gates I see;
Yet, Savior, let me walk with Thee.

Just A Closer Walk With Thee

I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
.
Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

The Heart of Worship

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you,
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about you,
It's all about you, Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much you deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is yours
Every single breath
I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you,
It's all about you, Jesus
I'm sorry, lord, for the thing I've made it
And it's all about you,
It's all about you, Jesus

In my heart, in my heart,

O Jesus I Have Promised

1
O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou forever near me,
my Master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.

2
O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.

3
O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be.
And Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.

Jesus I Come

1
Out of my bondage, sorrow and night,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy freedom, gladness and light,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of my sickness into Thy health,
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

2
Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

3
Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy blessed will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Out of despair into raptures above,
Upward for aye on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

4
Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the joy and light of Thy home,
Jesus, I come to Thee;
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

Lord I'm Coming Home

1
I’ve wandered far away from God,
Now I’m coming home;
The paths of sin too long I’ve trod;
Lord, I’m coming home.

Refrain
Coming home, coming home
Never more to roam;
Open wide Thine arms of love;
Lord I’m coming home.

2
I’ve wasted many precious years,
Now I’m coming home;
I now repent with bitter tears;
Lord, I’m coming home.

3
I’m tired of sin and straying Lord,
Now I’m coming home;
I’ll trust thy love belive thy word;
Lord I’m coming home.

4
My only hope, my only plea,
Now I’m coming home;
That Jesus died, and died for me;
Lord I’m coming home.

5
I need His cleansing blood I know,
Now I’m coming home;
O wash me whiter than the snow;
Lord I’m coming home.

I Love Thee

1
I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee,my Lord;
I love Thee, my Savior, I love Thee, my God.
I love Thee, I love Thee, and that Thou dost know;
But how much I love Thee my actions will show.

2
I’m happy, I’m happy, O, wondrous account!
My joys are immortal, I stand on the mount!
I gaze on my treasure and long to be there,
With Jesus and angels, and kindred so dear.

3
O Jesus, my Savior, with Thee I am blest,
My life and salvation, my joy and my rest:
Thy name be my theme, and Thy love be my song;
Thy grace shall inspire both my heart and my tongue.

4
O, who’s like my Savior? He’s Salem’s bright King;
He smiles, and He loves me, and helps me to sing.
I’ll praise Him, I’ll praise Him, with notes loud and clear
While rivers of pleasure my spirit do cheer.

Live Out Thy Life Within Me

1
Live out Thy life within me, O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou Thyself the answer To all my questionings;
Live out Thy life within me, In all things have Thy way!
I, the transparent medium Thy glory to display.

2
The temple has been yielded, And purified of sin;
Let Thy Shekinah glory Now shine forth from within,
And all the earth keep silence, The body henceforth be
Thy silent, gentle servant, Moved only as by Thee.

3
Its members every moment Held subject to Thy call,
Ready to have Thee use them, Or not be used at all;
Held without restless longing, Or strain, or stress, or fret
Or chafings at Thy dealings, Or thoughts of vain regret.

4
But restful, calm, and pliant, From bend and bias free,
Awaiting Thy decision, When Thou hast need of me.
Live out Thy life within me, O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou the glorious answer To all my questionings.

I Will Follow Thee

1
I will follow Thee, my Savior,
Wheresoe’er my lot may be.
Where thou goest I will follow;
Yes, my Lord, I’ll follow Thee.

Refrain
I will follow Thee, my Saviour,
Thou didst shed Thy blood for me;
And though all men should forsake Thee;
By Thy grace I’ll follow Thee.

2
Though the road be rough and thorny,
Trackless as the foaming sea,
Thou hast trod this way before me,
And I’ll gladly follow Thee.

3
Though I meet with tribulations,
Sorely tempted though I be;
I remember Thou wast tempted,
And rejoice to follow Thee.

4
Though Thou leadest me through affliction,
Poor, forsaken though I be;
Thou wast destitute, afflicted,
And I only follow Thee.

5
Though to Jordan’s rolling billows,
Cold and deep, Thou leadest me,
Thou hast crossed the waves before me,
And I still will follow Thee.

Pass Me Not O Gentle Savior

1
Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art calling,
do not pass me by.

Refrain
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art calling,
do not pass me by.

2
Let me at thy throne of mercy
find a sweet relief,
kneeling there in deep contrition;
help my unbelief.

3
Trusting only in thy merit,
would I seek thy face;
heal my wounded, broken spirit,
save me by thy grace.

4
Thou the spring of all my comfort,
more than life to me,
whom have I on earth beside thee?
Whom in heaven but thee?

Savior Like A Shepherd

1. Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
much we need thy tenderest care;
in thy pleasant pastures feed us,
for our use thy folds prepare.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, thine we are.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Thou hast bought us, thine we are.

2. We are thine, thou dost befriend us,
be the guardian of our way;
keep thy flock, from sin defend us,
seek us when we go astray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
Hear, O hear us when we pray.

3. Thou hast promised to receive us,
poor and sinful though we be;
thou hast mercy to relieve us,
grace to cleanse and power to free.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
We will early turn to thee.
Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus!
We will early turn to thee.

Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah

1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more;
feed me till I want no more.

2. Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield;
be thou still my strength and shield.

3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death and hell’s destruction,
land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee;
I will ever give to thee.

Come Thou Almighty King

1
Come, Thou almighty King,
Help us Thy name to sing,
Help us to praise!
Father all glorious,
O’er all victorious,
Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!

2
Come, Thou incarnate Word,
Gird on Thy mighty sword,
Our prayer attend;
Come, and Thy people bless,
And give Thy Word success;
Spirit of holiness,
On us descend!

3
Come, holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear,
In this glad hour:
Thou who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne’er from us depart,
Spirit of power!

4
To Thee, great One in Three,
Eternal praises be,
Hence, evermore:
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!

Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

1
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,
Hail Thee as the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

2
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Bloss’ming meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in Thee.

3
Thou art giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living,
Oceandepth of happy rest!
Thou the father, Christ our Brother –
All who live in love are Thine:
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.

2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

3. To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish – but naught changeth Thee.

4. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render; O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

My Faith Looks Up To Thee

1. My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine;
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
be wholly Thine.

2. May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire!
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!

3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow’s tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from Thee aside.

Nearer My God To Thee

1. Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!
E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

2. Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I’d be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

3. There let the way appear, steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me, in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

4. Then, with my waking thoughts bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

5. Or if, on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee, nearer to thee!

People Need The Lord

Everyday they pass me by
I can see it in their eyes
Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows where

On they go through private pain
Living fear to fear
Laughter hides their silent cries
Only Jesus hears

People need the Lord, people need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door
People need the Lord, people need the Lord
When will we realize people need the Lord?

We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong seems right
What could be too great a cost
For sharing life with one who's lost?

Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear
They must hear the words of life
Only we can share

People need the Lord, people need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door
People need the Lord, people need the Lord
When will we realize that we must give our lives?
For people need the Lord, people need the Lord

Fill My Cup Lord

1. Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy:
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
” Draw from my well that never shall run dry”.

Refrain
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more–
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

2. There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.

3. So, my brother, if the things this world gave you
Leave hungers that won’t pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you,
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray:

Come Thou Fount

1. Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me ever to adore Thee,
May I still Thy goodness prove,
While the hope of endless glory
Fills my heart with joy and love.

2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer;
Hither by thy help I’ve come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.

3. O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind me closer still to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart–O, take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.

Take My Life

1. Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
At the impulse of Thy love.

2. Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Always, only, for my King.

3. Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold:
Not a mite would I withhold;
Not a mite would I withhold.

4. Take my will, and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
It shall be Thy royal throne.

5. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Lord, I'm Thankful

Lately I've been through some testing and trials,
felt like a detour that went on for miles.
But standing here now looking back I can say,
Lord I'm thankful.
Some storms I thought I would never survive
but here I am feeling so strong and alive.
The darkness is passed and the morning is bright,
and I'm thankful!

Lord, I'm thankful like David after Goliath
like Paul and Silus after the jail,
I'm thankful like Daniel after the lions,
Lord I'm thankful.
Thankful like Noah back on dry ground;
thankful like Lazarus finally unwound.
E-ve-ry beat of my heart wants to pound,
I'm thankful, Lord I'm thankful

I've battled giants of failure and fear,
Shadows of doubt where my hope was unclear.
But along Lord you were hovering near
and I'm thankful
All the sins of my past were a thundering roar
that echoed the guilt that I could not ignore
but it's nailed to a cross and I hear it no more
and I'm thankful!! (Chorus 2x)

Near The Cross

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross;
there a precious fountain,
free to all, a healing stream,
flows from Calvary’s mountain.

Refrain
In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my raptured soul shall find
rest beyond the river.

2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me.

3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day
with its shadow o’er me.

4. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand

Nearer Still Nearer

1. Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest.

2. Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Nought as an offering to Jesus my King-
Only my sinful now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.

3. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine;
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

4. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last;
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages, ever to be,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

Abide With Me

1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

3. I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

4. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!

Just As I Am (I Come Broken)

Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, just as I am

Just as I am, I would be lost
But mercy and grace my freedom bought
And now to glory in Your cross
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come

I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, just as I am

I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, just as I am
Praise God, just as I am
Just as I am

I'm glad to say (Bluegrass Brethren)

I'm glad to say that I know Jesus
I'm walking daily in His care
He has for me a heavenly mansion
and He's waiting for me there

Oh I can hear the angels singin'
I can see that golden throne
hear those Hallelujahs ringin'
when He calls His children home

When the load I have to carry
gets too much for me to bear
I find a quiet sanctuary
and tell it to my Lord in prayer

Oh I can hear the angels singin'
I can see that golden throne
hear those Hallelujahs ringin'
when He calls His children home

Oh my friend if you don't know Him
do not tarry, won't you come?
In His house are many mansions
and He will gladly prepare you one

Oh I can hear the angels singin'
I can see that golden throne
hear those Hallelujahs ringin'
when He calls His children home

When He calls His children home
When He calls His children home

His Tapestry (Bluegrass Brethren)

If we had the vision
from heaven up on high
a tapestry He's making
from each and every life
we all our colors woven
He uses here and there
created with the artistry
of His love and care

Some enjoying glory
some enduring pain
some with great rejoicing
some with dread or shame
some appear defeated
some with victories won
making His plan beautiful
when their lives are done

Some are filled with joy
others tragedy
adding every strand
to His tapestry
someday up in heaven
we will understand
each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Simple acts of kindness
random acts of love
trusting in the Master
weaving up above
when we go to glory
we will plainly see
how we all have given
to His tapestry

Some are filled with joy
others tragedy
adding every strand
to His tapestry
someday up in heaven
we will understand
each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Some are filled with joy
others tragedy
adding every strand
to His tapestry
someday up in heaven
we will understand
each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Always Keep the Faith (Bluegrass Brethren)

Daniel prayed and when
thrown in the lion's den
kept the faith, was not afraid
then an angel came
and made the lions tame
Saw the Lord, His power displayed

Always keep the faith
Always keep the faith
Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

David met Goliath
Ungodly and defiant
Mocking God and David too
David slung a stone
kept faith in God alone
and the giant he quickly slew

Always keep the faith
Always keep the faith
Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

When three Hebrew men
who kept the faith in them
to an idol would not bow
in a furnace thrown
they were not there alone
and they walked unharmed brought out

Always keep the faith
Always keep the faith
Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

Believe Him (Bluegrass Brethren)

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

I was a captive
in the shackles of my sin
Freedom was given
when I let the Savior in
All He's done for me
He can do the same for you
Believe and receive Him
is all you need to do

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

I know I'll go to glory
See my Savior face to face
Naught for what I've done
All for His amazing grace
Come to Him repentant
He will hear your sinner's plea
The doorway to heaven
opens the moment we believe

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

And you'll be glory bound

Straight Is the Gate (Bluegrass Brethren)

Can a camel pass through a needle?
Can a rich man enter heaven's door?
Narrow is the way that leads to
that blissful eternal shore

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Straight is the gate that opens
He the life truth and way
Now is the day of salvation
Don't dare wait one more day

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Few are the ones that find it
You can be one of the few
He is the door that leads there
and He is calling you

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Take Up Your Cross (Bluegrass Brethren)

My child, if you would follow, you must really count the cost
For in giving up yourself, I'll make you free
And in taking of my new life, your old life will be lost
Come along, take up your cross, follow me

Take up your cross and follow me
My burden is light and easy
Put on my yoke and learn of me
Take up your cross and follow me

You may have a humbling weakness I will give for you to bear
It is only that I want for you to see
that in your small affliction, my strength is always there
Follow on, do my work, trust in me

Take up your cross and follow me
My burden is light and easy
Put on my yoke and learn of me
Take up your cross and follow me

I'll go with you, I will love you, I will lead you, I will stay
No matter what your trial on earth may be
Just remember that the sufferings of this present day
cannot compare with the glory that will be

Take up your cross and follow me
My burden is light and easy
Put on my yoke and learn of me
Take up your cross and follow me

Take up your cross and follow me

I Need Thee Every Hour

1. I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like thine can peace afford.

Refrain
I need thee, O I need thee;
every hour I need thee;
O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee.

2. I need thee every hour; stay thou nearby;
temptations lose their power when thou art nigh.

3. I need thee every hour, in joy or pain;
come quickly and abide, or life is vain.

4. I need thee every hour; teach me thy will;
and thy rich promises in me fulfill.

The Power of Prayer

by The Stiff Family

As Daniel sat in the den of cats
where the sun could cast no ray
you'd think he'd given up all hope
but instead He knelt to pray

And by and by God heard his cry
and sent and angel there
The lions were tamed
and Daniel was saved
because of the power of prayer

Because of the power of prayer
because of the power of prayer
Get on your knees
and then you'll see
they mighty power of prayer
A comfort in the darkness hour
it gives you peace and heavenly power
you'll find relief in the midst of grief
because of the power of prayer

How can you sit a blackened pit
and think there's no way out
prayer can reach from up above
and pull you out of doubt
so next time you are feeling down
and in a lion's lair
God's by your side, He'll be your guide
because of the power of prayer

Because of the power of prayer
because of the power of prayer
Get on your knees
and then you'll see
they mighty power of prayer
A comfort in the darkness hour
it gives you peace and heavenly power
you'll find relief in the midst of grief
because of the power of prayer

Because of the power of prayer
because of the power of prayer
Get on your knees
and then you'll see
they mighty power of prayer
A comfort in the darkness hour
it gives you peace and heavenly power
you'll find relief in the midst of grief
because of the power of prayer

It's Done

They could not understand him & they were not sure of why
So they took the man called Jesus & they sentenced him to die
A world of hurt was on him when they nailed him to that tree
But all his suffering ended with these words of sweet relief

It’s done, It’s done, It is finished, It is through
I have done just exactly what I came down here to do
This is the end of one thing but it’s the start of something new
It’s done, It’s done, It is finished, It is through

It was a heated celebration, like hell had never know
Death had its hold on Jesus; they’d seen Joseph roll the stone
But it must have cooled off quite a bit when he came down for the key
And said the party’s over, death aint got no hold on me

It’s done, It’s done, It is finished, It is through
I have done just exactly what I came down here to do
This is the end of one thing but it’s the start of something new
It’s done, It’s done, It is finished, It is through

I went down to the altar a lowly sinner man
Without a thing to offer just my heart and willing hands
Down there the savior met me, said I’ll cleanse you of your sins
And as my tears came streaming down he said these words again

It’s done, It’s done, It is finished, It is through
I have done just exactly what I came down here to do
This is the end of one thing but it’s the start of something new
It’s done, It’s done, It is finished, It is through

Let The Light Shine Down

I want to do what's right
so I need God's light
Shine down on me so I can see
I must learn His ways
so I'll never stray
Let the light shine down on me

Let the light shine down
Let the light shine down
Let the light shine down so I can see
There's a lesson I must learn
There's some bridges I must burn
Let the light shine down on me

Those that follow Him
eternal life shall win
He died to set us free
If you trust and believe
His blessing you'll receive
Let the light shine down on me

Let the light shine down
Let the light shine down
Let the light shine down so I can see
There's a lesson I must learn
There's some bridges I must burn
Let the light shine down on me

I have heard folks say
that there'll come a day
When we'll cry for the rocks to fall
The world's in darkness now,
send the light somehow
Let the light shine down on us all

Let the light shine down
Let the light shine down
Let the light shine down so I can see
There's a lesson I must learn
There's some bridges I must burn
Let the light shine down on me

Rock of Ages Cleft For Me

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.

Nothing in my hands I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

When my pilgrimage I close;
Victor o’er the last of foes,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Have Thine Own Way Lord

1. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Thou art the potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after thy will,
while I am waiting, yielded and still.

2. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Search me and try me, Savior today!
Wash me just now, Lord, wash me just now,
as in thy presence humbly I bow.

3. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me I pray!
Power, all power, surely is thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine!

4. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway.
Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me!

God Can

Recorded by Doyle Lawson
Written by Randy Swift

Who can take the beggar man off the streets
Give him clean cloths and food to eat
God can I know God can
Who can take the heart turned bitter and cold
Make it brand new so it shines like gold
God can I know God can

God can take away all your pain
Make the sunshine chase the rain
Yesterday today forever the same
All you gotta do is just call His name

Who can put the family back together again
That let their guard down and the devil crept in
God can I know God can
Who can reach down to the trembling hand
Of a child that’s abused and they can’t understand
God can I know God can

God can take away all your pain
Make the sunshine chase the rain
Yesterday today forever the same
All you gotta do is just call His name

I know my God can take away all your pain
Make the sunshine chase the rain
Yesterday today forever the same
All you gotta do is just call His name

I Can Pray

You say I'm not able
I'm too young or I'm too old
And I can't sing or teach
And no title do I hold
Lord what can I do?
For I want to do my part
Lord, I want to help the hurting
With all of my heart

I can pray
Until the walls come down
Until there's healing all around
That's something I can do
I can pray in my secret place
Calling on your name
That's something I can do
I can pray

My family shows no interest
My child has gone so far
Though I try my best to reach them
Their hearts just seem so hard
Lord what can I do?
To help bring them back to you
For my family's lost and dying
And my words just don't get through

I can pray until the walls come down
Until there's healing all around
That's something I can do
I can pray in my secret place
Calling on your name
Thats something I can do
I can pray

And you can pray
Until the walls come down
Until there's healing all around
That's something you can do
You can pray
In your secret place
Calling on his name
That's something you can do
You can pray

I know you hear us Lord
When we pray
Will you pray?

Great White Angel (Doyle Lawson)

O Great white angel
Great white angel
Stay by my side night and day
O Great white angel
Great white angel
Don't ever let me go astray

The great white angel is a servant of God
and we're His children, so he's always on guard
He takes us by the arm and protects us from the harm
of the devil and his wicked charms

O Great white angel
Great white angel
Stay by my side night and day
O Great white angel
Great white angel
Don't ever let me go astray

God sent the angel down from the sky
to care for His children, let's stay by their side
like a shepard keeps the sheep and guards while they sleep
from the devil and his ring of spies

O Great white angel
Great white angel
Stay by my side night and day
O Great white angel
Great white angel
Don't ever let me go astray

The great white angel speaks softly to our souls
to remind of us of the savior and keep us in the fold
while the devil deceives, he brings nothing but grief
to all who hear him both young and old

O Great white angel
Great white angel
Stay by my side night and day
O Great white angel
Great white angel
Don't ever let me go astray

Spend Time With Jesus

There’s a day that our God said, “Remember”,
A day he created and blessed.
On this day He still calls us together,
This day is for worship and rest.

Chorus:
So let’s spend this time with Jesus;
On His seventh day of rest.
All of heaven waits to meet us,
Jesus calls to us, “Come and be blest.”

When we rest from our work on the Sabbath,
Our needs God provides in His way.
He says, “Come! Let’s grow closer each Sabbath.”
If we love Him, we’ll honor his day.

At the cross, God did not change the Sabbath,
This truth in the Bible is plain.
And the Sabbath seals all God’s ten precepts;
His law and His love never change.

On this day, our true God claims our worship,
This day is His signature seal.
When we meet in these hours of sweet friendship,
What joy and what pleasure we feel.

This is heaven’s day to meet us,
Jesus calls to us, “Come and be blest.”

Have We Mentioned Jesus To You?

There is someone so sweet
we want you to meet
bring your burdens
for He cares for you
With His arms opened wide
He welcomes you child
It's amazing what Jesus can do

Have we mentioned Jesus to you?
Have we told you what He can do?
If He calls you today, don't turn Him away
Have we mentioned Jesus to you?

When He knocks at your door
don't do as before
for it could be the last time He calls
On your knees there's a place
where you can find grace
for Jesus is waiting on you

Have we mentioned Jesus to you?
Have we told you what He can do?
If He calls you today, don't turn Him away
Have we mentioned Jesus to you?

If He calls you today, don't turn Him away
Have we mentioned Jesus to you?

I'm Standing On The Solid Rock

Thru my disappointments, strife and discontentment,
I cast my every care upon the Lord.
No matter what obsession, pain or deep depression,
I’m standing on the solid rock.

I’m standing on the rock of ages;
Safe from every storm that rages;
Rich, but not from Satan’s wages.
I’m standing on the solid rock.

Now I’m pressing onward
Each step leads me homeward.
I’m trusting in my savior day by day.
And close is our relation
Firm is it’s foundation
So on the solid rock I’ll stay.

Even though He's gone now
I don't feel alone now
With comfort came the Spirit of the Lord
Now with His word to guide me
From temptations hide me
I'm standing on the solid rock

I’m standing on the rock of ages;
Safe from every storm that rages;
Rich, but not from Satan’s wages,
I’m standing on the solid rock.

I’m standing on the rock of ages;
Safe from every storm that rages;
Rich, but not from Satan’s wages,
I’m standing on the solid rock.

For, I'm in the gloryland way!

Onward I go rejoicing in His love
I'm in the gloryland way!
Soon I shall see Him in that home above
Oh, I'm in the gloryland way!

Repeat Chorus (x2)

With The Spirit Of The Lord Inside

Kentucky Bluegrass

Once I walked alone in desperation
knowing not my way back home.
And my heart could find no consolation
in the troubled path I'd roamed.
Then I found myself an old time altar
where I knelt to pray one night.
When I felt the tears come rolling down my face,
that's when I felt the Lord inside.

Chorus
With the spirit of the Lord inside,
there's a greater love in me.
When I asked Him to come in my life,
what a difference I could see.
And I know that it's a real salvation
for no other it could be.
With the spirit of the Lord inside,
there's a greater love in me.

Since that day my life has changed completely.
There's a gladness in my heart
I'm a member of God’s loving family
with a message to impart.
If you're searching for your souls contentment
There's one thing that you can do
I just know you'll find true joy and happiness
with the spirit of the Lord in you.

Repeat Chorus 2x

With the spirit of the Lord inside,
there's a greater love in me.

Stormy Waters (Nolin Jeffress)

Though a pilgrim on earth I may journey alone
knowing not what the future may hold
I’d rather have Jesus and sing a sweet song
Than to covet earth's silver and gold

Stormy waters around me
and the tempest and fury may roll
but I have my dear Savior
how He helps me, nobody can know
When it seems I'm forsaken
and my earthly friends misunderstand
stormy cold waters adrift all around me
but I hold to God's unchanging hand

Angry billows may toss me and cause me to fear
stormy waters around me may roll
I'll hold to the hand of my Savior so dear
He's a shepherd that's keeping my soul

Stormy waters around me
and the tempest and fury may roll
but I have my dear Savior
how He helps me, nobody can know
When it seems I'm forsaken
and my earthly friends misunderstand
stormy cold waters adrift all around me
but I hold to God's unchanging hand

Though I have disappointments, so often I sigh
and my cabin is humble and bare
but some day I'll inherit a mansion on high
and the beauties of heaven I'll share

Stormy waters around me
and the tempest and fury may roll
but I have my dear Savior
how He helps me, nobody can know
When it seems I'm forsaken
and my earthly friends misunderstand
stormy cold waters adrift all around me
but I hold to God's unchanging hand

Long Black Train

There's a long black train comin' down the line,
Feeding off the souls that are lost and cryin'.
Rails of sin, only evil remains.
Watch out, brother, for that long black train.
Look to the heavens, you can look to the sky.
You can find redemption staring back into your eyes.
There is protection and there's peace the same:
Burnin' your ticket for that long black train.

'Cause there's victory in the Lord, I say.
Victory in the Lord.
Cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.

There's an engineer on that long black train,
Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain.
He's just a-waitin' on your heart to say:
"Let me ride on that long black train."

But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say.
Victory in the Lord.
Cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.

Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away.
It sounds so good but I must stay away.
That train is a beauty makin' everybody stare,
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere.

But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say.
Victory in the Lord.
Cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.

I said cling to the Father and his Holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that long black train.

Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train.
That devil's drivin' that long black train.

Coming Soon - The Spencers

Once he came
to this old world of sin and sorrow
An humble babe
in a manger in Bethlehem.
But this time
He's coming in all his power
Great kings of earth
will bow and worship His great name.

Coming soon,
Jesus in all his glory.
Not just a Savior
but a reigning King.
Coming soon,
and the whole world will be a witness.
Oh be ready
for He is coming soon.

And when he comes
He'll bind the power of old Satan.
Little children
with the lamb and lion will play.
All the earth
will be so filled with His glory.
No more crying
for all tears are wiped away

Coming soon,
Jesus in all his glory.
Not just a Savior
but a reigning King.
Coming soon,
and the whole world will be a witness.
Oh be ready
for He is coming soon.

The New Jerusalem (Quicksilver)

I will sing you a song of the New Jerusalem
The faraway home of the soul
Where no storms ever beat on that glittering strand
And the years of eternity roll

Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful home
Where sickness and sorrow comes no more
We will all meet someday in that home faraway
In the New Jerusalem

Oh, the gates are of pearl and the streets are of gold
In that land where we'll never grow old
We will all meet someday in that home faraway
In the New Jerusalem

Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful home
Where sickness and sorrow comes no more
We will all meet someday in that home faraway
In the New Jerusalem

Jesus suffered, bled and died, on the cross was crucified
To save a poor sinner like me
Now he sits on his throne and will welcome us home
In the New Jerusalem

Oh, how sweet it will be in that beautiful home
Where sickness and sorrow comes no more
We will all meet someday in that home faraway
In the New Jerusalem

The Holy City (Doyle Lawson)

There’s a city holy city where the streets are paved with gold
And its walls are made of jasper and its beauty can’t be told
It’s the home of the redeemed ones who have known God’s saving grace
What a happy glad reunion when we meet in that place

John saw that city and the river flowing free
Saw the trees transplanted in that city built for you and me

In that city holy city where no tears can dim the eyes
There will be no disappointment there will be no sad goodbyes
All the saints then will be holy and will live in one accord
There’ll be shouting there’ll be singing when we meet with the Lord

John saw that city and the river flowing free
Saw the trees transplanted in that city built for you and me

Over in that holy city we will need no sun to shine
We will walk the streets of glory in that happy nest of love
It’s a place of wondrous beauty where the saints will never war
We will sing glad hallelujah in that home of the soul
In that city built for you and me

John saw that city and the river flowing free
Saw the trees transplanted in that city built for you and me

John saw that city and the river flowing free
Saw the trees transplanted in that city built for you and me
In that city built for you and me

Get Up In Jesus' Name

Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name
The Lord is calling daily
To those that would be saved
Don't go down defeated
While victory's here to claim
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name

At the gate called beautiful
There laid out in the street
A poor and lonely beggar
Who was crippled in his feet

As John and Peter passed him
They saw his need was bad
They had no gold or silver
But they gave him what they had

Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name
The Lord is calling daily
To those that would be saved
Don't go down defeated
While victory's here to claim
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name

In the days in which we live in
There's evil everywhere
The body seems discouraged
And overcome with fear

Well, God is needing soldiers
To get out of the pews
And take a hold of the power
That John and Peter used

Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name
The Lord is calling daily
To those that would be saved
Don't go down defeated
While victory's here to claim
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name

Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name
Get up, get up, get up in Jesus' name

Separate Me

Steve Ivey

Separate me from what separates us.
Fill me with your love.
Separate me from what separates us.
My affections are set on above.

Separate me from what separates us.
Fill me with your love.
Separate me from what separates us.
My affections are set on above.

My heart cries out to you, O Lord.
You are my rock and fortress.
Protector, director, deliver me now
To the unseen things above.

Separate me from what separates us.
Fill me with your love.

Remember The Cross

Do you think of the cross on which Jesus died?
Of the blood He shed for you
Are you prepared to meet Him in that land of love
By His word are you going to abide?

Remember the cross on which Jesus died
Follow in His footsteps each day
He shed His blood for you and He shed His blood for me
Never cast that cross aside

Never let other people lead you astray
Teach His words to them if you can
They must think of that cross on which Jesus died
And get ready to meet Him someday

Remember the cross on which Jesus died
Follow in His footsteps each day
He shed His blood for you and He shed His blood for me
Never cast that cross aside

When Jesus comes down from heaven above
And You haven't thought of that cross
He'll cast you aside in the twinkling of an eye
And you won't see His blessed home of love

Remember the cross on which Jesus died
Follow in His footsteps each day
He shed His blood for you and He shed His blood for me
Never cast that cross aside

Back To The Cross

I’m out on a sea filled with sorrow
Tossed like a ship, to & fro
I’m seekin’ the help of my Savior
By the way of the cross I must go

Back to the cross & to Jesus
Back to the cross I am called
I’ve drifted too far & I’ve wandered
From the Savior that once was my all

The joys of this life are too fleeting
And I’m left in troubles, alone
I’ve lost the touch of his presence
I’ve drifted too far from home

Back to the cross & to Jesus
Back to the cross I am called
I’ve drifted too far & I’ve wandered
From the Savior that once was my all

The sins of this world have overcome me
Have pushed & left me to roam
So I’m goin’ to go back my Savior
Back to the cross & home

Back to the cross & to Jesus
Back to the cross I am called
I’ve drifted too far & I’ve wandered
From the Savior that once was my all

Remind Me, Dear Lord

The things that I love
and hold dear to my heart
Are just borrowed
they're not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them
to brighten my life
So remind me,
remind me dear Lord

Roll back the curtain
of memory now and then
Show me where
you brought me from
And where I could have been
Just remember I'm a human,
and humans forget
So remind me,
remind me dear Lord

Nothing good have I done
to deserve God's own Son
I'm not worthy
of the scars in his hands
Yet he chose the road to Calvary
to die in my stead
Why he loved me
I can't understand

Roll back the curtain
of memory now and then
Show me where
you brought me from
And where I could have been
Just remember I'm a human,
and humans forget
So remind me,
remind me dear Lord

Just remember I'm a human,
and humans forget
So remind me,
remind me dear Lord

It's Me Again, Lord

Troubles come and I can’t find an answer
Lonely nights I spend in agony
I have no other friend that I can turn to
So here I am Lord back upon my knees

It’s me again Lord I’ve got a prayer I need an answer
It’s me again Lord I’ve got a problem I can’t solve
Well I don’t mean to worry you but here I am facing something new
And I need help that only comes from You it’s me again Lord

I know You’re mighty busy in Your Heaven
Forming worlds and hanging stars to shine
But You promised if I’d ask that I could see them
So here I am Lord asking one more time

It’s me again Lord I’ve got a prayer I need an answer
It’s me again Lord I’ve got a problem I can’t solve
Well I don’t mean to worry you but here I am facing something new
And I need help that only comes from You it’s me again Lord

Let My Life Be A Light

Let me live blessed Lord, in the light of thy word.
Let my life be a light on a hill.
Leading souls now astray to the straight narrow way.
Help me do some good deed while I live.

Let my life be a light shining out through the night.
May I help struggling ones to the fold.
Spreading cheer everywhere to the sad and the lone.
Let my life be a light to some soul.

Give me wisdom and power everyday every hour,
let me drink from the fountain above.
Guide my footsteps a right through the dark stormy night.
Give me peace, give me joy, give me love.

Let my life be a light shining out through the night.
May I help struggling ones to the fold.
Spreading cheer everywhere to the sad and the lone.
Let my life be a light to some soul.

Give me souls for my hire, let my life be on fire,
shining out to the world as a guide.
Help me rescue someone sinking now with no hope
that in Heaven we shall ever abide.

Let my life be a light shining out through the night.
May I help struggling ones to the fold.
Spreading cheer everywhere to the sad and the lone.
Let my life be a light to some soul.

Did you think to pray?

Ere you left your room this morning,
Did you think to pray?
In the name of Christ, our Savior,
Did you sue for loving favor
As a shield today?

When you met with great temptation
Did you think to pray?
By His dying love and merit
Did you claim the Holy Spirit
as your guide and stay?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray

When your heart was filled with anger,
Did you think to pray?
Did you plead for grace, my brother,
That you might forgive another
Who had crossed your way?

Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day.
So, when life gets dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray

So, when life gets dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray

Nothing Can Touch Me

Many times burdens drive me to my knees
and I wonder what the reason can be
for the things that bring me pain
or the day filled with rain
and my tears like a river start flowing again

Many times I cry "Jesus hear my plea
Precious Savior, have mercy on me"
Then my faith grows stronger
and I understand that nothing can touch me
that doesn't pass through His hand
nothing can touch me, though life's billows may roll
nothing can touch me, for He's still in control
nothing can touch me unless He says it can
for nothing can touch me that doesn't pass through His hand

Many times world conditions seem so drear
and my hearts beats ever faster with fear
when the pride of mortal man
tries to gain control again
and it seems that forces of evil might win

Many times I cry "Jesus hear my plea
Precious Savior, have mercy on me"
Then my faith grows stronger
and I understand that nothing can touch me
that doesn't pass through His hand
nothing can touch me, though life's billows may roll
nothing can touch me, for He's still in control
nothing can touch me unless He says it can
for nothing can touch me that doesn't pass through His hand

Thank You Dear God

There's setbacks and let downs as we walk day by day
sometimes what want does not come our way
then we just look up when we call our dear Friend
we lift up our voice praise heaven again

Our God has great power and shares it with men
He knows all the future and sees where we've been
He'll guide every footstep and show us life's way
protect us while working, asleep while we lay

Thank you dear God for your gifts everyday
for the flowers that bloom, little children that play
for your sweet Holy Spirit, your ear when we pray
thank you dear God for your gifts everyday

We don't see life's problems sometimes we are blind
But God sees all needs, His eyes such divine
He shows us dear souls that we can be free
He points to the right and warns us of sin

Thank you dear God for your gifts everyday
for the flowers that bloom, little children that play
for your sweet Holy Spirit, your ear when we pray
thank you dear God for your gifts everyday

For your sweet Holy Spirit, your ear when we pray
thank you dear God for your gifts everyday

The Lord Will Answer Thee

I once was lost in sin
But the Lord He heard my prayer
I want to fly there up above
And long to see Him there

Then pray, my brother, pray
Pray down on bended knees
For the Lord will hear your humble cry
And surely answer thee

Oh, when you pray to Him
Just kneel down secretly
He'll lead you out of sin's dark world
And reward you righteously

Then pray, my brother, pray
Pray down on bended knees
For the Lord will hear your humble cry
And surely answer thee

If when the way seems dark
Fall on your knees and pray
The Lord who watches over all
Will send a brighter day

Then pray, my brother, pray
Pray down on bended knees
For the Lord will hear your humble cry
And surely answer thee

Now pray, my brother, pray
Pray down on bended knees
For the Lord will hear your humble cry
And surely answer thee
And surely answer thee

Lord, It's Just Another Hill

Lord it’s just another hill that I’m climbing
Lord it’s just another tear you’ll wipe away
If I can just hold on a little longer
I’ll be rejoicing in Heaven some day

Every storm seems to be a little darker
And every burden seems to weigh a little more
And every river seems to be a little wider
But I feel I’m getting closer to the shore

Lord it’s just another hill that I’m climbing
Lord it’s just another tear you’ll wipe away
If I can just hold on a little longer
I’ll be rejoicing in Heaven some day

Often trials and troubles gather round me
And it seems I’m in this valley all alone
Then I can feel the angels camping all around me
Then I know that I’m not far away from home

Lord it’s just another hill that I’m climbing
Lord it’s just another tear you’ll wipe away
If I can just hold on a little longer
I’ll be rejoicing in Heaven some day

Thank You Lord

Some thank the Lord for friends and home
For mercies sure and sweet
But I would praise Him for His grace
In prayer I would repeat

Chorus
Thank You Lord for saving my soul
Thank You Lord for making me whole
Thank You Lord for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free

Some thank Him for the flow'rs that grow
Some for the stars that shine
My heart is filled with joy and praise
Because I know He's mine

I trust in Him from day to day
I prove His saving grace
I'll sing this song of praise to Him
Until I see His face

He Knows How Much You Can Bear

We are our heavenly Father's children
and we all know that He loves us one and all
yet there are times when we find
we answer another voice and call
if we are willing, He will teach us
His voice only to obey no matter where
and He knows, yes, He knows
just how much we can bear

Though the load gets heavy
you're never left alone to bear it all
ask for strength and keep on toiling
though the tear drops fall
You have the joy of this assurance
the heavenly Father will always answer prayer
and He knows, yes, He knows
just how much you can bear

Though the load gets heavy
you're never left alone to bear it all
ask for strength and keep on toiling
though the tear drops fall
You have the joy of this assurance
the heavenly Father will always answer prayer
and He knows, yes, He knows
just how much you can bear

You have the joy of this assurance
the heavenly Father will always answer prayer
and He knows, yes, He knows
just how much you can bear

By The Marks In His Hands

I am on that heavenward road
traveling to a glorious home
held by nailed-marked hands of Christ
my wonderful king
Traveling by day and traveling by night
guiding my steps by heaven's pure light
soon I'll leave this old dark world
sweet joy it will bring

There's been times I've faltered and failed
by old Satan often assailed
but my Lord with outstretched hands
will steady my soul
Many times tired and often I'm down
traveling with hope toward heaven's new ground
all my travels now I make
with Christ in control

I'm traveling upward (traveling up)
to the glorious place (glorious land, sweet)
living forever (living forever),
through the ages we'll spend (ages we'll spend)
Christ made a great promise (made a great promise)
His promises stand (His promises stand)
The road's been paid for (road's been paid for)
By the marks in His hands

On that road there's safety and help
by our God's power bountifully kept
we will keep the faith and praise God all of the way
Wicked men scheme and try to deceive
but that love bought robe will not leave
with God's help, from this great road we never will stray

I'm traveling upward (traveling up)
to the glorious place (glorious land, sweet)
living forever (living forever),
through  the ages we'll spend (ages we'll spend)
Christ made a great promise (made a great promise)
His promises stand (His promises stand)
That road's been paid for (road's been paid for)
By the marks in His hands

Let Me Tell You About Jesus

Let me tell you about Jesus
and what He's done for me
how He saved a poor lost sinner
now my soul has been set free

He has given many blessings
caused my heart to overflow
and I know He watches o'er me
walks with me where e're I go

Let me tell you about Jesus
and what He's done for me
how He saved a poor lost sinner
now my soul has been set free

On the days I'm in the valley
and my load is so hard to bear
I just lift my eyes to Jesus
and I go to Him in prayer

Let me tell you about Jesus
and what He's done for me
how He saved a poor lost sinner
now my soul has been set free

What a miracle we were given
some two thousand years ago
God the Father sent Him to us
all because He loved us so

Let me tell you about Jesus
and what He's done for me
how He saved a poor lost sinner
now my soul has been set free

how He saved a poor lost sinner
now my soul has been set free

He Lives In Me

Oh I’m just not myself
although I look the same
The portrait that I used to be
is in a different frame
I feel this sudden strength
but I’m as helpless as a child
And you may see me grinnin’
like it’s goin’ out of style

The things I used to treasure
just get in the way
The people I once hated
I love them more each day
The frown I’m used to wearin’
has been turned upside down
Since Jesus came into my heart
and turned my life a round

He lives in me (He lives in me)
He lives in me (He lives in me)
He bought me with a price
now I no longer am my own
My life is His Kingdom
my heart is His throne
He lives in me (He lives in me)
He lives in me (He lives in me)
The King of all Heaven and earth
is living in me

Now even when I’m tempted
good and evil are at war
The battle’s getting harder
than it’s ever been before
Oh I know where my strength lies
I can’t do it on my own
Then I get reinforcements
cause I’m never left alone

He lives in me (He lives in me)
He lives in me (He lives in me)
He bought me with a price
now I no longer am my own
My life is His Kingdom
my heart is His throne
He lives in me (He lives in me)
He lives in me (He lives in me)
The King of all Heaven and earth
is living in me

Yes the King of all Heaven and earth
is living in me

Thank God

There's a road that's straight and narrow
That the saints have traveled on
Paved with all the tribulations
Of the martyrs that have gone
If you're grateful for their vict'ries
And for showin' us the way
Then give thanks for all your blessin's
Get on your knees and pray

Thank God for ev'ry flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for givin' life to you and me
Wherever you may be, Thank God

In this world of grief and sorrow
Filled with selfishness and greed
There remains the Glory Fountain
To supply our every need
You can find it in the temple
With a welcome on the door
But be sure to count your blessin's
Before you ask for more

Thank God for ev'ry flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for givin' life to you and me
Wherever you may be, Thank God

Be forgivin to the wayward
Like the Master told us to
When He said forgive them Father
For they know not what they do
They would change their way of livin'
If they could but understand
So remember they're your brothers
They need a helpin' hand

Thank God for ev'ry flower and each tree
Thank God for all the mountains and the seas
Thank God for givin' life to you and me
Wherever you may be, Thank God

A Vision of Jesus

While kneeling by my bed one night
to say a sinner’s prayer
I looked up through tear filled eyes
and saw my Savior there

To me He said don’t be alarmed
as He was standing there
To me He said with outstretched arms
my child I hear your prayer

You ask me how I know Christ lives
I’ll tell you how I know
I saw the nail scars in His hands
and a robe as white as snow

To me He said don’t be alarmed
as He was standing there
To me He said with outstretched arms
my child I hear your prayer

I’ll follow Jesus all the way
He died upon the cross
I’ll follow Jesus all the way
because He paid the cost

To me He said don’t be alarmed
as He was standing there
To me He said with outstretched arms
my child I hear your prayer

To me He said with outstretched arms
my child I hear your prayer

The Touch Of His Gentle Hand

No matter how dark the night,
Or bitter the winds that blow,
One touch of the Master's gentle hand
And I am ready to go;
I'll go anywhere with Him
Thru tempest or sinking sand,
As long as I feel the tender touch,
The touch of his tender hand

One touch of his gentle hand
Means more that the world to me
One touch of his gentle hand
Will make every shadow flee
I'll be not afraid to go
And bravely take my stand
With courage and zeal as long as I feel
The touch of His gentle hand

A touch of His gentle hand
Can strengthen the faintest heart,
A touch of His tender hand divine
New hope and love can impart;
And so in His name I'll go,
And whether on sea or land,
I never shall fail if I can feel
The touch of His gentle hand.

One touch of his gentle hand
Means more that the world to me
One touch of his gentle hand
Will make every shadow flee
I'll be not afraid to go
And bravely take my stand
With courage and zeal as long as I feel
The touch of His gentle hand

Wherever I chance to be,
Wherever my feet may roam,
I'll trust in the Lord's unchanging hand
To lead me all the way home;
And ever my prayer shall be
Till safely at home I stand,
That I can just feel His touch so real
The touch of His gentle hand

One touch of his gentle hand
Means more that the world to me
One touch of his gentle hand
Will make every shadow flee
I'll be not afraid to go
And bravely take my stand
With courage and zeal as long as I feel
The touch of His gentle hand

With courage and zeal as long as I feel
The touch of His gentle hand

I'm The Clay In Your Hands

Try me Lord
You know my heart
Mold me, I'm the clay in Your hands

Lord should I stray from the straight narrow way
And what You would have me to be
Help me to deal with this self stubborn will
That brings out the weakness in me

Try me Lord
You know my heart
Search me here as I am
I'm sure you can see the weakness in me
Mold me, I'm the clay in your hands

Cleanse me now
As I humbly bow
While watching from Heaven above
Lord linger near as You look on these tears
And fill my heart with Your love

Try me Lord
You know my heart
Search me here as I am
I'm sure you can see the weakness in me
Mold me, I'm the clay in your hands
I'm sure you can see the weakness in me
Mold me, I'm the clay in your hands
Mold me, I'm the clay in your hands

Another Day

The lord has let us live another day
our mighty God can call and we will fly away
yet all the things we need in life are here
our Lord provides us daily yes He is ever near

Another day another chance to tell the story
of The Greatest One to ever live below
He is the way, the builder of the road to glory
scarred hands of love guide daily as we go

He's given us more time to journey on
make sure the steps you take will lead to heaven's throne
there's no regrets when Jesus points the way
we're safe for life and travel
He'll help us lest we stray

Another day another chance to tell the story
of The Greatest One to ever live below
He is the way, the builder of the road to glory
scarred hands of love guide daily as we go

Oh, life is just a blessing a gift from heaven's throne
we must praise The Giver for just a little more

Another day another chance to tell the story
of The Greatest One to ever live below
He is the way, the builder of the road to glory
scarred hands of love guide daily as we go
scarred hands of love guide daily as we go

Rock Of Ages, Hide Thou Me

Sometimes I feel discouraged
and think my work’s in vain
I’m tempted oft’ to murmur
to grumble and complain
But when I think of Jesus
and what He bore for me
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages
(Hide Thou me)
Rock of Ages hide Thou me

Oh Rock of Ages
(hide Thou me) hide Thou me
Oh blessed rock (blessed rock of ages)
(Hide Thou me) hide Thou me
There is no other refuge
only Thee (only Thee)

Sometimes I’m weary
sad and blue (so sad and blue)
Sometimes (sometimes) vain hopes bedim
(my view) bedim my view
Then I cry to the rock
(Blessed rock of ages) hide Thou me
Rock of Ages hide Thou me

I have a friend in Jesus
the Savior of my soul
I feel His presence ever
when stormy billows roll
And when I think of Jesus
and what He bore for me
Then I cry to the Rock of Ages
(hide Thou me)
Rock of Ages hide Thou me

Oh Rock of Ages
(hide Thou me) hide Thou me
Oh blessed rock (blessed rock of ages)
(Hide Thou me) hide Thou me
There is no other refuge
only Thee (only Thee)

Sometimes I’m weary
sad and blue (so sad and blue)
Sometimes (sometimes) vain hopes bedim
(my view) bedim my view
Then I cry to the rock
(Blessed rock of ages) hide Thou me
Rock of Ages hide Thou me

Oh Rock of Ages
(hide Thou me) hide Thou me
Oh blessed rock (blessed rock of ages)
(Hide Thou me) hide Thou me
There is no other refuge
only Thee (only Thee)

Sometimes I’m weary
sad and blue (so sad and blue)
Sometimes (sometimes) vain hopes bedim
(my view) bedim my view
Then I cry to the rock
(Blessed rock of ages) hide Thou me
Rock of Ages hide Thou me
