Through It All

I’ve had many tears and sorrows,
I’ve had questions for tomorrow,
there’s been times I didn’t know right from wrong.
But in every situation,
God gave me blessed consolation,
that my trials come to only make me strong.

Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God.
Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.

I’ve been to lots of places,
I’ve seen a lot of faces,
there’s been times I felt so all alone.
But in my lonely hours,
yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus let me know that I was His own

Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God.
Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.

I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I’d never had a problem,
I wouldn’t know God could solve them,
I’d never know what faith in God could do.

Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God.
Through it all, through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.

Give Them All To Jesus

Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows
Are you tired of spinning round and round
Wrap up all the shattered dreams of your life
At the feet of Jesus lay them down

Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams
Wounded hearts
Broken toys
Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
And he will turn your sorrow into joy

He never said you'd only see sunshine
He never said there'd be no rain
He only promised a heart full of singing
About the very things that once caused pain

Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams
Wounded hearts
Broken toys
Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
And he will turn your sorrow into joy

Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams
Wounded hearts
Broken toys
Give them all
Give them all
Give them all to Jesus
And he will turn your sorrow into joy

Brethren We Have Met To Worship

Brethren, we have met to worship and adore the Lord our God;
Will you pray with all your power, while we try to preach the Word?
All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down;
Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.

Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses’ sister aided him;
Will you help the trembling mourners who are struggling hard with sin?
Tell them all about the Savior, tell them that He will be found;
Sisters, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around.

Is there here a trembling jailer, seeking grace, and filled with fears?
Is there here a weeping Mary, pouring forth a flood of tears?
Brethren, join your cries to help them; sisters, let your prayers abound;
Pray, oh, pray that holy manna may be scattered all around.

Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other, too;
Let us love and pray for sinners, till our God makes all things new.
Then He’ll call us home to Heaven, at His table we’ll sit down;
Christ will gird Himself and serve us with sweet manna all around.

Thank You For The Storm

Sung by The Carr Family
Lyrics by Zach Whitsel

It's a blessing when I see the dark clouds parting
When the rain is gone and the sun is breaking through
I anticipate when life will just be normal
Just to close my weary eyes and rest in you
My heart can rest so easy when there's blue skies
When the wind is gone and rain is not in sight
How I long to hang my sword above the mantle
Away from harm and distant from the fight

But I wouldn't know your peace without the hard times
Or be thankful for relief without the pain
I wouldn't love the light if it were not for the darkness
Or appreciate the sun without the rain
How could I understand forgiveness without failure
Or feel the warmth of love without the bitter cold
How could I hold your healing hands without affliction
And be blessed to see your mercies all unfold
Sure it's a blessing to be safe, secure, and warm
But Lord I want to thank you for the storm

Imagine as peter sat in prison
he may have paced the floor with chains around his feet
and in his mind the devil taunted as he whispers:
"The battles lost and this is your defeat"
Then his mind went back to that night in the tempest
When the master spoke and winds and seas obeyed
And he remembered that storm calming all around him
He could rest in that dark prison unafraid and say:

I wouldn't know your peace without the hard times
Or be thankful for relief without the pain
I wouldn't love the light if it were not for the darkness
Or appreciate the sun without the rain
How could I understand forgiveness without failure
Or feel the warmth of love without the bitter cold
How could I hold your healing hands without affliction
And be blessed to see your mercies all unfold
Sure it's a blessing to be safe, secure, and warm
But Lord I want to thank you for the storm

If my life were free of trials Lord I'd loose my view of you
They're sweet trophies that remind me of all you do
Sure it's a blessing to be safe, secure, and warm
But lord I want to thank you for the storm
I'm still safe, secure, and warm
And lord I want to thank you for the storm

Put It Into God's Hands

Jeff & Sheri Easter

Yesterday when I came home
I was just about ready to scream,
my job's been driving me crazy
I got bills that are burying me,
the weight of the world was on me,
I was sinking like a stone,
but then I realized,
I can't make it on my own.

I'm gonna put it into God's hands,
and start living on God's plan,
gonna do the best I can, it's all I can do,
I'm gonna put away my doubts,
somehow it will all work out,
Well, I can rest easy now,
that I put it into God's hands.

My daddy always told me,
you can't live by bread alone,
you gotta have faith in the good Lord's grace,
just to keep on keepin on,
accept the things that you can't change,
and change the things you can,
and when you start to worry,
 just put it into Gods hands.

I'm gonna put it into God's hands,
and start living on God's plan,
gonna do the best I can,
it's all I can do,
I'm gonna put away my doubts,
somehow it will all work out,
Well, I can rest easy now,
that I put it into God's hands.

I'm gonna put it into God's hands,
and start living on God's plan,
gonna do the best I can,
it's all I can do,
I'm gonna put away my doubts,
somehow it will all work out,
Well, I can rest easy now,
that I put it into God's hands.

I can rest easy now,
that I put it into Gods hands.

Burden Bearer

By Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

I'll take these burdens and lay them at His feet
They're just to heavy Lord and I am just too weak
I'll give them all to Jesus, friend I know He'll take yours too
He's the burden bearer and He knows just what to do

Chorus
The Burden Bearer will carry your heavy load
There's nothing too big for His arms to hold
He said cast your cares upon me when you're bent way down low
The Burden Bearer will help your troubled soul

If you have a burden, friend and if it's hard to bear
Take it to the Good Lord down on your knees in prayer
He promised not to give you more than you can take
He knows when you're burdened. He knows your heartache

He took the cross of Calvary; such a weight was on Him
His back was heavy laden down with our sin
He took our sorrow then and there He proved
The Burden Bearer did what we could not do

Chorus
The Burden Bearer will carry your heavy load
There's nothing too big for His arms to hold
He said cast your cares upon me when you're bent way down low
The Burden Bearer will help your troubled soul

Leave it there. Leave it there.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there
He said cast your cares upon me when you're bent way down low
The Burden Bearer will help your troubled soul
The Burden Bearer will help your troubled soul

Keep Your Eyes On Jesus

By The Louvin Brothers

Keep your eyes on Jesus
when the tidal waves of trouble 'round you roll
Keep your eyes on Jesus,
He will calm the storms of life that toss your soul

Livin' in a world that's full of sorrow
We are tried and tempted ev'ryday
Knowing not the secrets of tomorrow
We find rescue when we watch and pray

Keep your eyes on Jesus
when the tidal waves of trouble 'round you roll
Keep your eyes on Jesus,
He will calm the storms of life that toss your soul

In Matthew chapter 14 
when the disciples were in the ship In the midst of the sea
Being tossed with waves for the wind was contrary
In the 4th watch of the night Jesus went unto them walking on the sea
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea
They were troubled saying, it is a spirit and they cried out for help
But straightaway Jesus spoke to unto them saying
Be of good cheer, it is I, Be not afraid.

And Peter answered Him and said "Lord, if it be Thou
Bid me to come to You on the water," and He said "Come".
And when Peter was come down out of the ship
He walked on he water to go to Jesus
But he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid
And beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord save me"

Peter was doing all right while he kept his eye on Jesus
But when he looked away to the rolling waves about him He began to sink
And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him
And said unto him "Oh, thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt"

Being tossed in this life by disappointments and temptations
We are very much the same as this disciple
If we want to live for Jesus we must keep our eyes on Him
And not the pleasures of the world 

Keep your eyes on Jesus
when the tidal waves of trouble 'round you roll
Keep your eyes on Jesus,
He will calm the storms of life that toss your soul

In God's Eyes

By Willie Nelson

Never think evil thoughts of anyone
It's just as wrong to think as to say
For a thought is but a word that's unspoken
In God's eyes He sees it this way

Lend a hand if you can to a stranger
Never worry if he can't repay
For in time you'll be repaid ten times over
In God's eyes He sees it this way

In God's eyes we're like sheep in a meadow
Now and then a lamb goes astray
But open arms should await it's returning
In God's eyes He sees it this way

In God's eyes we're like sheep in a meadow
Now and then a lamb goes astray
But open arms should await it's returning
In God's eyes He sees it this way

When I Come Home

By Trinity River Band

When I come home, Lord, when I come home
These worries of mine will be no more
A robe I will wear in a city of gold
When I come home, Lord, when I come home

Each day when I wake, I offer a prayer
My Father in heaven, He listens up there
I ask for the strength in all I must do
He's guiding my footsteps, I know this is true

When I come home, Lord, when I come home
These worries of mine will be no more
A robe I will wear in a city of gold
When I come home, Lord, when I come home

Our trials are many while walking this earth
To struggle and strive is the price to your birth
But love is there also to help you, I say
I feel it around me whenever I pray

When I come home, Lord, when I come home
These worries of mine will be no more
A robe I will wear in a city of gold
When I come home, Lord, when I come home

My life is so precious, I'm grateful I'm here
Each day makes me stronger, the less I do fear
This body is a vessel I'll leave in the end
I hold in a diamond, a treasure within

When I come home, Lord, when I come home
These worries of mine will be no more
A robe I will wear in a city of gold
When I come home, Lord, when I come home
When I come home, Lord, when I come home
When I come home, Lord, when I come home

More Love - Trinity River Band

Christians walk around today defeated and beat down
Just like that, the old devil already won
The world's lost as it can be and needs to be set free
Think I know what needs to be done
Thing to get old Satan on the run

What we need to show the world is more love
Love your neighbor like you love yourself
In this world of bitter tears only more love
Can draw the living water from the well
So shine your light, make it bright
Open up your heart and give more love

Aint no time to run and hide from all our enemies
Turn off the path to wicked ways again
We gotta keep on doing right and fighting the good fight
There's still a lot of souls to turn to Him
But it's gonna take more love to bring them in

What we need to show the world is more love
Love your neighbor like you love yourself
In this world of bitter tears only more love
Can draw the living water from the well
So shine your light, make it bright
Open up your heart and give more love

Oh Yes, what we need to show the world is more love
Love your neighbor like you love yourself
In this world of bitter tears only more love
Can draw the living water from the well
So shine your light, make it bright
Open up your heart and give more love
Open up your heart and give more love

Jump Off The Ship

By Trinity River Band

The ship was rolling back and forth that night
the winds were blowing wildly and the shore was out of sight
when on the sea a vision it appeared
but them on board were full of doubt, crying out in fear
But then they heard the voice of Jesus speak
"Be of good cheer, cast off your fear, I'm the master of the sea"

He'll give you faith to walk on the water
He'll hold you up when your faith falters
He'll be the still small voice when the wind rages around you
Jump off the ship, don't fear the storm, He'll take care of you

And Peter spoke and said, "Lord if it's thee
bid me to come where you are standing on the sea"
Jesus' only word to him was, "Come"
Peter started walking to the Father's only Son
Then twas the wind that blew away his faith
But Jesus caught him up before he sank beneath the waves

He'll give you faith to walk on the water
He'll hold you up when your faith falters
He'll be the still small voice when the wind rages around you
Jump off the ship, don't fear the storm, He'll take care of you

Though your troubles like a millstone pull you down
remember there is one who will never let you drown
When the wind starts blowing even faster
Keep your eyes fixed only the Master
He will never leave you nor forsake you
Seek His face, draw near to Him, He'll draw near to you

He'll give you faith to walk on the water
He'll hold you up when your faith falters
He'll be the still small voice when the wind rages around you
Jump off the ship, don't fear the storm, He'll take care of you

Rise and Shine

(Lyrics originally by Carl Perkins)

Little children do not worry
Oh, you still got lot's of time
There's no need in walkin' backwards
Turn around and rise and shine
If your load always seems heavy
and you're always left behind
Pick yourself up from the ground
and jump right back and rise and shine

Rise and shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Turn around, go rise and shine

Look at how they done poor Jesus
Why, they nailed him to the cross
When he died out there on Calvary
So the world would not be lost
So no matter how they treat you
If they slap you in your face
Just remember Jesus loves you
And on the cross he took your place

Rise and shine in the early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Turn around, go rise and shine

Rise and shine into the mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand by and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Turn around, go rise and shine......

Give God The Power

Song by Trinity River Band

Verse 1:
Faith can move mountains, I know that it’s true,
I was dying in the valley when I cried out to you.
You called my name, I answered the call,
With the power of faith, that mountain did fall.

Verse 2:
No greater love than a father to his son,
It mirrors the love of what God has for us.
His son on the cross, He watched from above,
And this world was saved through the power of love.

Chorus:
There’s power in love, there’s power in faith.
There’s power in truth, there’s power in grace.
So, drop to your knees right where you stand,
Give God the power, put your life in His hands.

Verse 3:
It’s never wrong to do what is right,
In a world of temptation, we fight the good fight.
At the end of the day, when our battle is done,
With the power of truth our victory’s won.

Verse 4:
We came here as sinners, as sinners we leave,
It’s only through Jesus, His gift we receive.
There’ll come a time, we meet face to face,
He’ll welcome us home with the power of grace.

There’s power in love, there’s power in faith.
There’s power in truth, there’s power in grace.

There’s power in truth, there’s power in grace.

Give God the power, put your life in His hands.

Give God the power, put your life in His hands,
Give God the power, put your life in His hands.

As The Deer

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

(Chorus)
You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

You're my friend and You are my brother
Even though You are a king
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything 

I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy giver
And the apple of my eye

In His Own Time

Lyrics by Cindy Boehler

In His own time my dreams will come true
In His own time the skies will turn to blue
No more worries no more crying
No more thinking about dying
The Lord will move His hands in His own time

When life gets too dreary
days pathed with endless need
When the sunset comes
before everything gets done
Though the day may make me weary
my soul the Lord will feed
He'll refresh my heart
to greet the rising sun

In His own time my dreams will come true
In His own time the skies will turn to blue
No more worries no more crying
No more thinking about dying
The Lord will move His hands in His own time

In His own time I found my meaning
In His own time I found my place
I found my second chance with His grace

In His own time my dreams will come true
In His own time the skies will turn to blue
No use worrying no more crying
No more thinking about dying
The Lord will move His hands in His own time

The Lord will move His hands in His own time
