Makes me love everybody.
Makes me love everybody.
Makes me love everybody.

And it's good enough for me.

It was tried in the fiery furnace
It was tried in the fiery furnace
It was tried in the fairy furnace
It's good enough for me

Give me that old time religion

Give me that old time religion
And it's good enough for me.

I'll Fly Away

1. Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

Chorus
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When Christ comes hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

2. When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away

3. Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away

4. Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away

Chains of Darkness

Song by Front Range

1. As I was walking
in the city one morning
I saw an old ragged man
sitting by the street
Well I tried not to stare
as I walked straight ahead
But he stood up and grabbed my arm
and said these words to me

Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
don’t be blinded by the night
Let the blessed love embrace you
Give yourself unto the light

2. Well his face seemed to glow
and his eyes were like fire
I saw my own reflection
and my heart was filled fear
And as I walked away
there came a flash of light
I turned around to look again
but He had disappeared

Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
don’t be blinded by the night
Let the blessed love embrace you
Give yourself unto the light

3. Well I’m still not certain
what I saw on that morning
But I believe the Lord works
in mysterious ways
Just an old man in the city
ragged gray and gritty
But when I close my eyes
I can still hear him say

Cast away those wicked chains of darkness
don’t be blinded by the night
Let the blessed love embrace you
Give yourself unto the light
Give yourself unto the light
