EMBRACE THE CROSS
Benjamin Everson version
Behold the cross where life eternal died,
God’s Lamb, the Christ, our final sacrifice.
No other blood removes iniquity.
No other man redeems humanity.
Take up your cross upon the Calvary road,
With steadfast faith, remain beneath the load.
Consider all the suffering Jesus knew.
Consider Him; His grace will carry you.
CHORUS:
Embrace the cross,
And glory in its shame,
With all your heart, live worthy of His name.
O follow Christ, regardless of the cost,
Give everything to Jesus…
And His cross.
Proclaim the cross ‘til every nation hears
That for our sin the Son of God was pierced.
In Jesus’ name, go forth in Gospel might!
In Jesus’ love, present Christ crucified!
CODA:
Lay down your cross, before the nail scarred feet,
Of Him who reigns in royal majesty.
Exchange your cross for Heaven’s great reward!
Exchange your crown for Jesus Christ the Lord!

EMBRACE THE CROSS
By Steve Green
(I am crucified with Christ Therefore I no longer live
Jesus Christ now lives in me) 2x
Embrace the cross, Where Jesus suffered
Though it will cost, All you claim as yours
Your sacrifice will seem small
Beside the treasure, Eternity can’t measure
What Jesus holds in store
Embrace the love, The cross requires
Cling to the one
Whose heart knew every pain
Receive from Jesus, Fountains of compassion
Only He can fashion
Your heart to move as His
Oh, wondrous cross our desires rest in you
Lord Jesus make us bolder
To face with courage the shame and disgrace
You bore upon Your shoulder
Embrace the life, That comes from dying
Come trace the steps, The Savior walked for you
An empty tomb
Concludes Golgotha’s sorrow
Endure then till tomorrow
Your cross of suffering
Embrace the cross
Embrace the cross
The cross of Jesus

HIS LIFE FOR MINE
By Talley
His heart was broken mine was mended,
He became sin now I am free
The cross he carried bore my burden,
The nails that held him set me free
CHORUS:
His life for mine
His life for mine
How could it ever be?
That he would die,
Gods son would die
To save a wretch like me
What love divine,
He gave his life for mine
If suffering brought me healing,
He shed his blood to fill my soul
His crown of thorns made me loyalty,
His sorrow Gave me joy untold,
CODA:
He was despise and rejected
Striped of his garments and oppressed
I am loved and accepted
And I wear a robe of righteousness

GOD SPEAKING
By Camille Aragones at 3ABN
Have you ever heard a love song
That set your spirit free?
Have you ever watched a sunrise
And felt you could not breathe?
What if it's Him? What if it's God speaking?
Have you ever cried a tear
That you could not explain?
Have you ever met a stranger
Who already knew your name?
What if it's Him? What if it's God speaking?
CHORUS:
Who knows how He'll get a hold of us?
Get our attention to prove He's enough
He'll do and He'll use whatever he wants to
To tell us 'I love you'
Have you ever lost a loved one
Who you thought should still be here?
Do you know what it feels like
To be tangled up in fear?
What if He's somehow involved?
What if He's speaking through it all?
CODA:
His ways are higher, His ways are best
Though sometimes strange
What could be stranger than God in a manger?

6. 6
ABOVE ALL
Michael W. Smith
Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're
worth
CHORUS:
Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

NO MORE NIGHT
By David Phelps
The timeless theme,
Earth and Heaven will pass away
It’s not a dream,
God will make all things new that day
Gone is the curse from which
I stumbled and fell
Evil is banished to eternal hell
CHORUS:
No more night, no more pain
No more tears, never crying again
And praises to the great, "I AM"
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb
See all around,
now the nations bow down to sing
The only sound is the praises to Christ,
our King
Slowly the names from the book are read
I know the King, so there’s no need to dread
CODA:
See over there, there’s a mansion
Oh, that’s prepared just for me
Where I will live with my Savior eternally

8. 8
IN HIS TIME
Old hymns
In his time, in his time
He makes all things beautiful in his
time
Lord, please show me everyday
As you're teaching me your way
And you’ll do just what you say
In your time.
In your time, in your time
You make all things beautiful in
your time
Lord, my life to you I bring
May each song I have to sing
Be to you a lovely thing
In your time
Be to you a lovely thing
In your time.

9. 9
IF THAT ISN’T LOVE
Old hymns
He left the splendor of heaven
Knowing His destiny
Was the lonely hill of Golgotha
There to lay down His life for me
And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love
Even in death He remembered
The thief hanging by His side
Then he spoke of love and
compassion
And He took him to paradise

MY REDEEMER IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE
By Christian Berdahl at 3ABN
As I look back on the road I've travelled,
I see so many times He carried me through;
And if there's one thing that I've learned in
my life,
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
CHORUS:
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My heart rejoices when I read the promise
'There is a place I am preparing for you.'
I know someday I'll see my Lord face to face,
Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
CODA:
And in every situation He has proved His
love to me;
When I lack the understanding, He gives
more grace to me.

11. 11
UNTILL THEN
Old hymns
My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a trail that's winding always upward,
This troubled world is not my final home.
CHORUS:
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on,
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
The things of earth will dim and lose their
value
If we recall they're borrowed for a while;
And things of earth that cause the heart to
tremble,
Remembered there will only bring a smile.
This weary world with all its toil and
struggle
May take its toll of misery and strife;
The soul of man is like a waiting falcon;
When it's released, it's destined for the skies.

12. 12
I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS
Old hymns
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
CHORUS:
Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin’s dread sway;
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame;
I’d rather be true to His holy name
He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs;
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead

13. 13
WONDERFUL MERCIFUL SAVIOR
By Camille Aragones at 3 ABN
Wonderful, merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh you rescue the souls of men
Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way
Ohh, we hopelessly lost the way
CHORUS:
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Ohh, our hearts always hunger for
Almighty, infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Ohh, we're falling before Your throne
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Ohh, our hearts always hunger for

14. 14
IN CHRIST ALONE
By Steve Green
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

15. 15
HOLY CITY
Old hymns
Last night I lay a sleeping, There came a dream so fair,
I stood in old Jerusalem,Beside the temple there
I heard the children singing, And ever as they sang,
(Me thought the voice of Angels
From Heaven in answer rang)2X
CHORUS:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem!, Lift up you gates and sing,
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna to your King!
And then me thought my dream was changed
The streets no longer rang
Hushed were the glad Hosannas
The little children sang
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill
(As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill)2X
And once again the scene was changed
New earth there seemed to be,
I saw the Holy City, Beside the tireless sea
The light of god was on its streets
The gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter,
And no one was denied.
No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day,
(It was the new Jerusalem
That would not pass away)2X

16. 16
MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY
Old hymns
Mine eyes have seen the glory , Of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightning
Of His terrible swift sword, His truth is marching on
I have seen him in the watch-fires
Of a hundred circling camps
They have builded him an altar
In the evening dews and damps
I can read his righteous sentence
By the dim and flaring lamps, His day is marching on
I have read a fiery gospel , Writ in burnished rows of steel
As ye deal with my condemners
So with you my grace shall deal
Let the hero, born of woman
Crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on
He has sounded form the trumpet
That shall never call (or sound) retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men , Before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul , To answer him be jubilant, my feet
Our God is marching on
In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in his bosom
That transfigures you and me
As he died to make men holy
Let us live to make men free
While God is marching on
CHORUS:
(Glory, glory, hallelujah)3X
1st(His truth id marching on) Last(Our God is marching on)

YOUR GRACE STILL AMAZES ME
By Camille Aragones at 3ABN
My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy's like a river with no end
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence
I stand in wonder once again
CHORUS:
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Your grace still amazes me
Cause Your grace still amazes me
Oh, patient Savior, You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say
I know there's no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praise
It's deeper, it's wider
It's stronger, it's higher
It's deeper it's wider
It's stronger, it's higher than anything my
eyes can see

FAITHFUL ONE
By Selah
I find no hope within to call my own
For I am frail of heart, my strength is gone
But deep within my soul is rising up a song
Here in the comfort of the faithful one
I walk a narrow road through valleys deep
In search of higher ground, on mountains steep
And though with feet unsure, I still keep pressing on.
For I am guided by the faithful one.
CHORUS:
Faithful, faithful to the end,
My true and precious friend,
You have been faithful,
Faithful, so faithful to me
I see your wounded hands, I touch your side
With thorns upon your brow you bled and died
But there’s an empty tomb, a love for all who come
And give their hearts to you, the faithful one.
CODA:
And when the day is dawned
and when the race is run
I will bow down before Gods only Son
And I will lift my hands in praise
for all you’ve done
And I will worship you, my faithful one.

19. 19
DID YOU EVER TALK TO GOD
Old hymns
Did you ever talk to God above?
Tell Him that you need a friend to love.
Pray in Jesus' name believing
that God answers prayer.
Have you told Him all your cares and woes?
Every tiny little fear He knows.
You can know He'll always hear
And He will answer prayer.
CHORUS:
You can whisper in a crowd to Him.
You can cry when you're alone to Him.
You don't have to pray out loud to Him;
He knows your thoughts.
On a lofty mountain peak, He's there.
In a meadow by a stream, He's there.
Anywhere on earth you go,
He's been there from the start.
Find the answer in His Word; it's true.
You'll be strong because He walks with you.
By His faithfulness He'll change you, too.
God answers prayer.

HOW BIG IS GOD
Old hymns
Though men may strive to go beyond the
reach of space
To walk beyond the distant glimmering
stars.
This world's a room so small within my
Father's house
The open sky but a portion of his yard.
CHORUS:
How big is God? How big and wide is his
vast domain?
To try to tell these lips can only start;
He's big enough to rule the mighty universe,
Yet small enough to live within my heart.
As winter's chill may cause the tiny seed to
fall,
To lie asleep till waked by summer's rain,
The heart grown cold will warm and throb
with life anew;
The Master's touch will bring the glow
again.

21. 21
ONE DAY AT A TIME
Old hymns
I'm only human, I'm just a woman.
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.
CHORUS:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do every day what I have to do.
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
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.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

22. 22
REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH
King Heralds
Years of time have come and gone
Since I first heard it told
How Jesus would come again some day
If back then it seemed so real
Then I just can’t help but feel
How much closer His coming is today
CHORUS:
Signs of the times are everywhere
There’s a brand new feeling in the air
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
Wars and strife on every hand
And violence fills the land
Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again
But the Word of God is true
He’ll redeem His chosen few
Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus
will descend

23. 23
OH I WANT TO KNOW YOU MORE
Cadet Sisters/ Steve Green
Just the time I feel, that I've been caught
in the mire of self
Just the time I feel, my mind's been bought
by worldly wealth
That's when the breeze begins to blow,
I know the Spirit's call
And all my worldly wanderings, just melt into His love
CHORUS:
Oh, I want to know You more, deep within my soul I
want to know you
Oh, I want to know You,
to feel your heart and know Your mind
Looking in Your eyes, stirs up within me
Cries that say, "I want to know You,
oh, I want to know You, more
And when my daily deeds
ordinarily lose life and song
My heart begins to bleed,
sensitivity to Him is gone
I've run the race but set my own pace
and face a shattered soul
Now, the gentle arms of Jesus, warm my hunger to
behold
And I would give my final breath
To know You in Your death and resurrection
Oh, I want to know You more
Oh, I want to know You, to know You more
Oh, I want to know You more

24. 24
PRECIOUS MEMORIES
By Allan Jackson
Precious memories, unseen angels,
Sent from somewhere to my soul.
How they linger, ever near me,
And the sacred past unfolds.
CHORUS:
Precious memories how they linger,
How they ever flood my soul.
In the stillness, of the midnight.
Precious sacred scenes unfold.
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
and old home scenes of my childhood
in fond memory appears
I remember Mother praying
Father too, on bended knee
the sun is sinking, shadows falling
but their prayers still follow me

25. 25
BREATH ON ME
Heritage singers
In humble adoration
I kneel your throne
In brokenness I seek your face alone
Above you there’s no other
Who’s able to restore my soul
Come and make me whole
CHORUS:
Breathe on me
Power of god come in and change me
You are all I need
Holy spirit breathe on me
I’m ready to surrender
To give you all my life
No matter what the cost or sacrifice
Reveal to me your calling
Cleanse me from my prideful ways
Use me now i pray
CODA:
I will say of the lord
He is my strong tower
My rock and my fortress in whom I trust
In times of the storm and in tribulation
He is my help and my salvation
Breath of god, restore my soul

PEACESPEAKER
Heritage singers
It was such a lovely day
the sun was shining bright
The gentle wind was blowing my way
Not a storm cloud insight
Then suddenly without warning
Storm's surrounded my life
But even in the storm I could feel the calm
and here's the reason why
CHORUS:
I know the Peace speaker, I know Him by name
I know the Peace speaker
He controls the winds and waves
When He says, "Peace! Be still!"
They have to obey
I'm glad I know the Peace speaker
Yes, I know Him by name
There's never been another man
with the power of this friend
By simply saying, "Peace! Be still!"
He can calm the strongest wind
That's why I'll never worry
when storm clouds come my way
I know that He is near to drive away my fear's, and I
just smile and say
CODA:
Peace, peace, wonderful peace.
Coming down from the Father above.

ALPHA AND OMEGA
By Gaither
I Heard a great voice out of heaven saying
Behold the tabernacle of God is with men
He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people
And Almighty God will be with them
He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes
There shall be no more death
Neither sorrow, nor crying, and no more pain
The former things are all passed away
He that sat upon the throne said,
"Behold, I make all things new"
He said unto me, "Write these words
For they are faithful and true"
And it is done, It is done
It is done, It is done
(He is the Alpha and Omega
The Beginning and the End
The Son of God, the King of Kings
Lord of lords, He's Everything
Messiah, Jehovah, The Prince of Peace is He
The Son of Man, Seed of Abraham
Second Person in the Trinity)4x
He is the Alpha and Omega
The Son of God, the King of Kings
Messiah, Jehovah
The Great I Am seed of Abraham
He is the Alpha and Omega
The beginning and the end
Son of God, the King of Kings
The Lord of everything He is Lord

28. 28
THE KING IS COMING
By Gaither
The Market place is empty
No more traffic in the streets
All the builders tools are silent
No more time to harvest wheat
Busy housewives cease their labors
in the courtroom no debate
Work on earth has been suspended
As the King comes through' the gate
CHORUS:
The King is coming, The King is coming
I just heard the trumpet sounding
And now his face I see
The King is coming, The King is coming
Praise God He's coming for me
Happy faces line the hallway
Those whose lives have been redeemed
Broken homes that He has mended
Those from prison He's set free
Little children and the aged
Hand in hand stand all aglow
who were crippled broken ruined
Clad in garments white as snow
I can hear the chariots rumble
I can see the marching throng
And the flurry of God's trumpets
spell the end of sin and wrong
Regal robes are now unfolding
Heaven's grandstands all in place
Heaven's choir is now assembled
Start to sing Amazing Grace

29. 29

BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE
By Camille Aragones at 3ABN
Because of who you are, I will lift my hands
I will lift my heart and sing a song of love to
you
because of who you are
I offer you my life, surrendering my all,
a living sacrifice to you, because of who you
are
everything you are (2x)
CHORUS:

praise
I pledge to you each moment for the length of

praise you
Yes I will ever praise you lord, because of
who you are

BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE
By Sandi Patty
You spoke the words
and all the worlds came in to order
You waved your hands
and planets filled the empty sky
You placed the woman and the man
inside the garden
And though they fell
they found compassion in your eyes
Oh Lord I stand amazed
At the wonder of your deeds
And yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees
CHORUS:
Lord I praise You because of who You are
Not just for all the mighty things
that You have done
Lord I worship You because of who You are
You're all the reason that I need
to voice my prayer
Because of who You are
One holy night
You brought Your promise from a virgin
And the promise grew
as He revealed to us Your heart
Enduring love displayed
throughout His crucifixion
And in the dark, You tore the grave
and death apart
Oh Lord I stand amazed
At the wonder of your deeds
And yet a greater wonder
brings me to my knees
(repeat Chorus)

MORE THAN WONDERFUL
By Heritage Singers
He promised us that He would be a counselor
A mighty God and a prince of peace
He promised us that He would be a father
And would love us with a love
that would not cease
Well, I tried Him and I found
His promises are true
He’s everything He said that He would be
The finest words I know cannot begin to tell
Just how much He really means to me
CHORUS:
For He’s more wonderful
than my mind can conceive
He’s more wonderful than my heart can believe
He goes beyond my highest hopes
and fondest dream
He’s everything that my soul ever longed for
Everything He promised and so much more
More than amazing , More than marvelous
More than miraculous could ever be
He’s more wonderful , That’s what Jesus is to me
I stand amazed when I think the King of Glory
Would come to live within the heart of man
I marvel just to know He really loves me
When I think of who He is and who I am.

ONLY JESUS CALVARY’S LOVE
By Steve Green
Only Jesus, Only He
Brings redemption, full and free
There’s a yearning, in all our lives
That only Jesus satisfies
Calvary’s love will sail forever
Bright and shining, strong and free
Like an ark of peace and safety
On the sea of human need
Through the hours of all the ages
Those tired of sailing on their own
Finally rest inside the shadow
Cast by Calvary’s love across their souls
CHORUS:
Calvary’s love, Calvary’s love
Priceless gift Christ makes us worthy of
The deepest sin can’t rise above
Calvary’s love…
Calvary’s love can heal the Spirit
Life has crushed and cast aside
And redeem ‘till Heaven’s promise
Fills with joy once empty eyes
So desire to tell His story
Of a love that loved enough to die
Burns away all other passions
And fed by Calvary’s love becomes a fire
Calvary’s love has never faltered
All its wonders still remain
Souls still take eternal passage
Sins atoned and heaven gained
Sins forgiven and heaven gained

34. 34
VIA DOLOROSA
By Sandi Patty
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The man condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from a beating,
there were stripes upon his back
And he wore a crown of thorns upon his head
And he bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for his death..
CHORUS:
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of
His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa
all the way to calvary.
Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los saldados le abrian paso a Hesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz
Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al calvario ya morir
BRIDGE:
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.

THANK YOU LORD FOR THE TRIALS THAT
COME MY WAY
Old Hymns
Thank you, Lord,
for the trials that come my way.
In that way I can grow each day
as I let you lead,
And thank you, Lord,
for the patience those trials bring.
In that process of growing,
I can learn to care.
CHORUS:
But it goes against the way
I am to put my human nature down
and let the Spirit take control of all I do.
'Cause when those trials come,
my human nature shouts the thing to do;
and God's soft prompting
can be easily ignored.
I thank you, Lord,
with each trial I feel inside,
that you're there to help,
lead and guide me away from wrong.
'Cause you promised, Lord,
that with every testing,
that your way of escaping is easier to bear.
I thank you, Lord,
for the victory that growing brings.
In surrender of everything, life is so worthwhile.
And I thank you, Lord,
that when everything's put in place,
out in front I can see your face,
and it's there you belong.

PRECIOUS LORD TAKE MY HAND
Old Hymns/ Gaither Band
When my way grows drear precious Lord
linger near
When my life is almost gone Hear my cry,
Hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
CHORUS:
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, Let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home
When the darkness appears and the night
draws near
And the day is past and gone At the river I
stand
Guide my feet, Hold my hand
Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home

HE TOUCHED ME
Old Hymns/ Gaither Band
Shackled by a heavy burden
'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
Now I am no longer the same.
CHORUS:
He touched me, oh He touched me
And oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole.
Since I met the blessed Saviour
Since He cleansed and made me whole
I will never cease to praise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls.

HOW GREAT THOU ART
Old Hymns/ Chris Rice
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
CHORUS:
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
When through the woods,
and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down,
from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook,
and feel the gentle breeze.
And when I think, that God,
His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
When Christ shall come,
with shout of acclamation,
And take me home,
what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

CHAMPION OF LOVE
By Heritage Singers
Ladies and Gentlemen
May I have your attention
I want to introduce to you
Here In this corner
Of the good and the right
Stands a champion robed in white
His height exceeds the heavens,
His weight outweighs the world,
His reach, reaches everywhere, his age
is evermore
CHORUS:
He is higher than the highest, greater
than the great, no one will ever take his crown away.
He's more mighty than mightiest,
He reigns from above, he's the all-time, undisputed,
Undefeated champion
He left his hometown, to enter this arena, to
raise his hands in victory for me,
an angry crowd crucified
this king who wore the crown,
as they gladly watched the champion going down,
But I will never count him out, for I am a witness
of the day he arose to attain the title, Champion of love

AS THE DEER
By Maranatha Singers
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

GOD ON THE MOUNTAIN
By Lynda Randle
Life is easy, when you're up on the mountain
And you've got peace of mind,
like you've never known.
But things change,
when you're down in the valley.
Don't lose faith, for you're never alone.
CHORUS:
For the God on the mountain,
is the God in the valley.
When things go wrong,
He'll make them right.
And the God of the good times
is still God in the bad times.
The God of the day is still God in the night.
We talk of faith way up on the mountain.
Talk comes so easy when life's at its best.
Now down in the valleys,
of trials and temptations
That's where your faith,
is really put to the test.

SHELTERED IN THE ARMS OF GOD
By Heritage Singers
I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender.
They're leading me in the paths that I must
trod.
I'll have no fear for Jesus walks beside me
For I'm sheltered safe in the arms of God.
Soon I shall hear the call from heaven's
portals.
Come home my child, It's the last mile you
must trod I'll fall asleep
But I wake in God's new heaven
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.
CHORUS:
So let the storms rage high,
The dark clouds rise, They don't worry me;
For I'm sheltered safe
within the arms of God.
He walks with me,
And naught of earth shall harm me,
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

TEARS ARE A LANGUAGE GOD
UNDERSTAND
By Heritage Singers
Often you wonder why
tears come into your eyes
And burdens seem
to be much more than you can stand
But God is standing near,
He sees your falling tears
Tears are a language
that God understands.
CHORUS:
God sees the tears of a brokenhearted soul
he sees your tears and he hears them
when they fall
God weeps along with man
and takes him by the hand
tears are a language god understands.
When grief has left you low
it causes tears to flow
When things have not
turned out the way that you had planned
But God won't forget you…
O His promises are true Tears are a language
that God understands.

I AM WILLING LORD
By Sandra Entermann at 3ABN
Sometimes when I am down
And I don't feel like you're around, oh Lord
Feelin' so sorry for me
Not knowing that all the while
You're working to see if, when I'm put thru' the
fire
I'll come out shinin' like gold
Oh Lord, Lord please don't ever stop working
with me
‘Til you see I can be all You want me to be
CHORUS:
(I am willing, Lord
I am willing, Lord
To be just exactly what You want me to be )2x
Often when I ask why
Teach me then on You to rely, oh Lord
You surely know what is best
May I learn that in confidence and strength I can
rest
Then, leaning fully on You
My questions fall one by one
Dear Lord, Lord please don't ever stop working
with me
‘Til you see I can be all You want me to be

FILL MY CUP LORD
By Cadet Sisters
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".
CHORUS:
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!
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.
So, my Children, 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:

46. 46
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
By Sandi Patty
Crowds have lined the narrow street
To see this man from Galilee
Just a carpenter some say, leading fools astray
Yet many kneel to give Him praise
And in His eyes, they glimpse the power
That sees the heart of all men
And He knows His Father's mind
He speaks His Father's words
For He comes in the name of the Lord
CHORUS:
There is strength in the name of the Lord
There is power in the name of the Lord
There is hope in the name of the Lord
Blessed is He, who comes in the name of the Lord
When my plans have fallen through
And when my strength is nearly gone
When there's nothing left to do but just depend on You
And the power of Your name
And as we call upon Your name
Your strength through weakness to show
We can know the masters plan extend the masters
hand
When we come in the name of the Lord
(His name will be worshiped forever
Creator, Redeemer and King)

THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME
Old Hymns/ Jim Reeves
This world is not my home I'm just a-passing'
through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the
blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
CHORUS:
Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home
then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
I have a loving mother just over in glory land
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Just over in glory land we'll live eternally
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from
heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE
By Heritage Singers
There is coming a day,
When no heart aches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forever more,
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
CHORUS:
What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
There'll be no sorrow there,
No more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain,
No more parting over there;
And forever I will be,
With the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

BECAUSE HE LIVES
Old Hymns
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior
lives.
CHORUS:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He
lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because
He lives.
And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He
lives.

SOMEONE IS PRAYING FOR YOU
By Heritage Singers
Someone is praying for you
Someone is praying for you
So when it seems you’re all alone
And your heart will break in two
Remember someone is praying for you
Have the clouds ‘round you gathered in the midst
of the storm
Is your ship tossed and battered
Are you wearied and worn
Don’t lose hope
Someone’s praying for you this very day
And peace be still is already on the waves
CHORUS:
Someone is praying for you
Someone is praying for you
So when it seems you’re all alone
And your heart will break in two
Remember someone is praying for you

strength is all gone
And your tears fall like raindrops all the day long
He cares and He knows just how much you can
bear
He’ll speak your name to someone in prayer

LIFT UP YOUR HANDS TO GOD
By Basil Valdez
Life is not all that bad, my friend, hmmm
If you believe in yourself
If you believe there's Someone
Who walks through life with you
You'll never be alone
Just learn to reach out,
And open your heart
Lift up your hands to God,
And He'll show you the way.
CHORUS:
And He said, "Cast your burdens upon Me
Those who are heavily laden,
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
Of carrying heavy loads,
For the yoke I will give you is easy
And My burden is light,
Come to Me and I will give you rest."
When you feel the world
Is tumbling' down on you,
And you have no one
That you can hold on to,
Just face the rising sun
And you'll see hope,
And there's no need to run
Lift up your hands to God,
And He'll make you feel all right.

EMPOWER ME
Christians Hymns
Nobody knows how weak I am, better than you;
Nobody sees all of my needs, better than you.
And nobody has the power to change me,
From what I was born to be.
Jesus be strong in my weakness, empower me!
CHORUS:
Empower me, like a rushing river
flowing to the sea.
Lord, send your holy spirit
flowing now through me.
Till I’m living as your child,
Victorious and free, send the power of your love,
Empower me.
Nobody’s eyes see through my soul,
Better than yours;
Nobody’s love can make me whole,
No one but yours.
And nobody has the power to lift me,
To reach for eternity.
Jesus break through all my defenses,
empower me.

VICTORY IN JESUS
Christians Hymns
I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.
CHORUS:
O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about His healing,
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again
And caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,
Come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the victory.
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of victory.

NEVER GIVE UP
By Heritage Singers
There are days I know when you get so
discouraged,
It seems that all hope is gone.
But there's only One who can give you
courage
And strength to carry on.
CHORUS:
Never give up, Jesus is coming.
It's the darkest just before dawn.
Never give up, Jesus is coming.
Never give up, keep holding on!
This old world I know can't last much
longer,
And sin will soon pass away.
But my faith in God simply keeps growing
stronger,
For Jesus is coming some day!

WE ARE THE REASON
By Heritage Singers
As little children we would dream of
Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realized a baby born one
blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and
died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He
could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by
we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day,
a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
(I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him)

GOD’S WONDERFUL PEOPLE
By Heritage Singers
CHORUS:
I love the thrill that I feel when I get together
with God’s wonderful people
Love the thrill that I feel when I get together
with God’s wonderful people
What a sight just to see all the happy faces
Praising God in heavenly places
What a thrill that I feel when I get together
with God’s wonderful people
Now it can be just anywhere
Two or three are gathered there
That the spirit of the Lord will be there too
There’s no fellowship so sweet
There’s no thrill that can compete
With the thrill I feel whenever God’s
children meet
And on that great reunion day
When our Lord says, “Come away”
And the saints from every land stream
through the gate
Joining loved ones round the throne
At last we’ll all be gathered home
That will be the greatest thrill
we’ve ever known

WHEN THE TIME COMES
By Heritage Singers
Cleanse me Lord of all my silly sad charades
Lord I want to be all and only yours
Take away the clutter in my life every day
And make me like a child at play
CHORUS:
When the time comes
I want Him to know me
When the time comes
I want to be there
And when that time comes
I want to be ready
When Jesus comes to take me
When my Jesus comes to take me
Take me Home
Give me joy
I love to laugh and cry with you
You've become a friend with me all the time
Help me to be patient
as I watch and as I pray
growing in your love each day

We’ll fight the foe and we will overcome
Heaven is our goal
And save every soul
Pray that we all will be there

TRIALS THAT MAKE PURE GOLD
By Chuck Fulmore
There are trials in life
that seem more than I can bear,
There are heartaches beyond compare.
Without trials in life
I might never bow in prayer,
And I would never know Jesus really care.
CHORUS:
For it’s the trials
that bring us close to heaven
And it’s the trials that bring blessings untold!
And it’s the trials that bring us close to Jesus,
And it’s the trials that make pure gold.
Without trials in life
I might never call the Lord,
And I would never know
the joy of answered prayer.
Without trials in life
I might never hear the words,
“Well done, my child:
come in and glory share.”

COLOR OF A SOUL
By Heritage Singers
All the colors of the rainbow, skies are blue
and forest green, red and yellow flowers on

soul
Children laugh and play together, they don’t
know what’s bad or good, they don’t
understand that there’s a
Wrong neighborhood, but Lord what color is
the soul

Strives and troubles all will vanish away
Out of every tribe and nation
Saints redeem and Christ shall come Red and
Yellow, black and white shall join to know
That there is no color of a soul

HE WAS THERE ALL THE TIME
Old Hymns/ Tina Campbell at 3ABN
Time after time I was searching for peace in
some void
I was trying to blame all my ills on this world
I was in
Surface relationships used me till I was done
in
But all the while someone was begging to
free me from sin
CHORUS:
He was there all the time
He was there all the time
Waiting patiently in line
He was there all the time
Never again will I search for a fake rainbows
end
Now that I’ve found the answer my life is
just starting to rhyme
Sharing each new day with Him is a breath
of fresh life
Oh what I've missed He's been waiting right
here all the time

FOR THOSE TEARS I DIED
By Heritage Singers
You said You'd come and share all my sorrows,
You said You'd be there for all my tomorrows;
I came so close to sending You away,
But just like You promised You came there to stay;
I just had to pray!
CHORUS:
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by My side,
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied;
I felt ev'ry teardrop
when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you
that for those tears I died."
Your goodness so great I can't understand,
And, dear Lord,
I know that all this was planned;
I know You're here now, and always will be,
Your love loosed my chains
and in You I'm free;
But Jesus, why me?
Jesus, I give You my heart and my soul,
I know that without God I'd never be whole;
Savior, You opened all the right doors,
And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble
shores;
Take me, I'm Yours.

SEEKERS OF YOUR HEART

Until we give You first place
Until we let You begin
To fill us with your spirit
Renew us from within
Nothing matters
Nothing’s gained
Without your Holy presence
Our lives are lived in vain
CHORUS:
Lord we want to know You
Live our lives to show You
All the love we owe You
We're seekers of your heart
Because your heart was broken
Because You saw the need
Because You gave so freely
Because of Calvary
We can now be
Called your own
Completed creations
Filled with You alone

Endless light of a thousand dreams
You have come and rescued me

I will lift up my voice cry out
From my soul I will send up a shout
Let the words of my life be the song that you
hear)

I BOWED ON MY KNEES AND CRIED
HOLY
By Heritage Singers
I dreamed of a city called Glory,
So bright and so fair.
When I entered the gates I cried, "Holy"
The angels all met me there.
They carried me from mansion to mansion,
And oh, the sights I saw,
Then I said, "I want to see Jesus,
‘Cause He’s the One who died for all!"
CHORUS:
I bowed on my knees and cried,
"Holy, Holy, Holy."
I clapped my hands and sang, "Glory,
Glory to the Son of God."
Then as I entered the gates of that city,
My loved ones all knew me well.
They took me down the streets of Heaven;
Oh, the scenes were too many to tell;
I saw Abraham, Jacob and Isaac,
I talked with Mark and Timothy.
Oh, but I said, "I want to see Jesus,
The One who died for me!"

TEN THOUSAND ANGELS CRIED
By Leann Rimes
Stillness filled the Heavens, on crucifixion day.
Some say it rained, I don't know if it's true.
Well, I can just imagine ten thousand angels cried
That would seem like rain to me and you.
The angels all stood ready to take Him from the
tree
They waited for the words from His voice.
And when he asked the father why has thou
forsaken me.
They watched the saviour die of his own choice.
CHORUS:
I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure they did
As they stood by
And watched the saviour die.
God turned his head away
He couldn't bear the sight
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried.
BRIDGE:
(As the sun slipped away
The skies turned to grey
And when Jesus gave his all
That's when the tears began to fall)

SWEET SWEET SPIRIT
By Gaither
There's a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place,
And I know that it's the Spirit of the Lord;
There are sweet expressions on each face,
And I know they feel the presence of the Lord.
Chorus
Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us, filling us with Your love.
And for these blessings
we lift our hearts in praise;
Without a doubt we'll know
that we have been revived,
When we shall leave this place.
There are blessings you cannot receive
Till you know Him in His fullness and believe;
You're the one to profit when you say,
"I am going to walk with Jesus all the way."
If you say He saved you from your sin,
Now you're weak,
you're bound and cannot enter in,
You can make it right if you will yield,
You'll enjoy the Holy Spirit that we feel.

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side.
And as I wait
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of Your love.
Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love
As You live in me.
Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds in my life
In living every day
by the power of Your love.

MY TRIBUTE(TO GOD BE THE GLORY)
By Sissel
How can I say thanks
for the things You have done for me?
Things so undeserved,
yet You give to prove Your love for me.
The voices of a million angels
could not express my gratitude.
All that I am and ever hope to be,
I owe it all to Thee.
CHORUS:
To God be the glory,
to God be the glory,
to God be the glory
for the things He has done.
With His blood He has saved me,
with His power He has raised me.
To God be the glory
for the things He has done.
BRIDGE:
Just let me live my life,
let it be pleasing, Lord, to Thee.
And should I gain any praise,
let it go to Calvary

HOME
By Gaither
Home is where the heart is,
my heart's own home
Though I never really had one
to call my own
I've been given a key
by the Carpenter of Galilee
With interest paid the title's made to me
CHORUS:
Home, where there is no night
Home, where the Son is the light
The place I've been dreaming of so long
Loved ones there to welcome me
But His sweet face will be the first I see
When my journey's over I am going home
Everybody dreams
of going home it seems
Lately I am no exception
to the rule
But home is so much more
than windows, walls and doors
It's a warm embrace
and smiling faces awaiting you

PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY
By Fernando Ortega
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy
health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Now to His temple draw near;
Sing now in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all
things so wondrously reigneth,
Who, as on wings of an eagle, uplifteth, sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully,
wondrously, made thee!
Health hath vouchsafed and,
When heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
What need or grief Ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper
thy work and defend thee,
Who from the heavens the streams of
His mercy doth send thee. Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come
now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen, Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.

MORNING HAS BROKEN
By Cat Steven
Morning has broken
like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
like the first bird.
Praise for the singing,
Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing
fresh from the world.
Sweet the rain's new fall,
sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall
on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness
of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness
where his feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight, Mine is the morning,
Born of the one light Eden saw play.
Praise with elation, praise ev'ry morning,
God's recreation of the new day.
Morning has broken like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning,
Praise for them springing
fresh from the world.

BEYOND THE OPEN DOOR
By Faithfirst
In the things familiar we find security
Resisting all the changes that days
and years can bring
When God decides to lead you
through an open door
Inviting you to walk in realms you've never
known before
CHORUS:
Beyond the open door is a new and fresh
anointing
Hear the Spirit calling you to go
Walk on through the door
for the Lord will go before you
Into a greater power you've never known before
Hear the Spirit calling to wake the living dead
To reach the huddled masses
who cry out for living bread
Arise oh mighty army, take up thy shield and
sword
For the Father lifts His golden lamp beside the
open door
CODA:
Where He leads me, I will follow
Where He leads me, I will follow
And where He leads me, I will follow
Into a greater power you've never known before
Beyond the open door

Let Your love shine through me in the night

RENEW ME
By Heritage Singers
Why am I such a dusty window,
For your light to shine through?
Why am I just a tiny star, In a sky already blue?
Why do I offer everything,
With my heart closed like a fist?
I want to love You better than this
Why do I live like I'm in chains,
When You have set me free?
And why do I have to break Your heart,
Before I fall to my knees?
I know it's time to pray for change,
Give all I have to give
I want to love You better than this
CHORUS:
So renew me, Remake me Undo me, Unbreak me
Come into the empty spaces
Of my broken places
And consume me, Complete me
Pursue me, Redeem me
Let Your Holy Spirit living through me. Renew me
I need You as my refuge, My first and last resort
Be the river always running,
Through my deepest thoughts
Keep me in Your arms, 'Cause even when I drift
I want to love You better than this
BRIDGE:
My life bending to Your will
Seeking You until I'm more and more like You

BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE
By Faithfirst Singers
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me
Behold Him there the risen Lamb
My perfect spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!

TILL THE STORM PASSES BY
(Mosie Lister/ Gaither)
In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face,
While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place.
'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Chorus
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try,
For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by"
But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise
Where the storms never darken the skies.
Chorus
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.
When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,
Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore;
In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I
Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.
Chorus
Till the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more,
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;
Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand,
Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

We Have Seen His Glory
He fed the thousands who did not have bread (Luke 9:10-17)
I saw him bringing people back from the dead (Luke 8:49-56)
He drove out demons from the demon-bound (Luke 8:26-39)
And taught us how to walk on holy ground
He made the leper's skin like new (Luke 17:11-19)
The storm dissipated when he told it to (Luke 8:22-25)
Took jars of water turned it into wine (John 2:1-11)
The Savior even healed this heart of mine
Chorus:
We have seen His glory We have seen His glory
We have seen His gloryThe one and only son
I was there the day when the dove came down
(Matthew 3:16-17)
Saw soldiers with thorns to make His crown
(Matthew 27:28-29)
Felt the whole earth quake, darkness on the land
(Matthew 27:51-55)
After he was dead, he came to life again
(Matthew 28:2-10)
I was there when he said that he couldn't stay
Was on the Mount of Olives watching Him fly away (Luke
24:44-53)
In the upper room with power, the Spirit came
To give us guidance as we declare His name
Repeat Chorus
I see how he works in our lives today
Through the things not explained any other way
I have known his guidance and I understand
The contentment shown by His loving hand
I can see Him working in His family
Who are clearly following their destiny
I can feel his power in their unending love
An awesome power coming from above… above
Repeat Chorus

My faith still holds
I thought I had to see and feel
To prove that what I loved was really real
A passion turned to ashes things I held to dust
I found reality in simple trust
My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary
Oh blessed Rock of Ages cleft for me
I gladly place my trust in things I can not see
My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary
I tried to find lives mysteries
Just by the reason of my mind to see
But void remain between me and where I longed
to be
Till childlike faith there built a bridge for me
And oh what joy to walk the way
I followed nailed pierced footprints all the way
Though the end of where I'm bound I may not see
I choose to place my trust in Calvary
My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary
Oh blessed Rock of Ages cleft for me
I gladly place my trust in things I can not see
My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary
My faith still holds on to the Christ of Calvary

He Is Here
Artist: Gaither Vocal Band
I sense an awesome moving of the Holy Spirit
And I see His countenance resting on your
face
I know that there are angels hovering all
around us For the presence of the Lord is in
this place
He is here, Hallelujah!
He is here, Amen!
He is here, Holy, Holy
I will bless His name again
He is here, Listen closely
Hear Him calling out your name
He is here, you can touch Him
You will never be the same
I searched for peace among the shadows,
dark and lonely
Gave up on finding that strong and lasting
love
I tasted all the things that sin could fear to
offer me
But today I feast on manna from above

Language of Canaan
Pillars of Our Faith
I
(Oh that I could talk In the language of Canaan
I could tell a little of the glory Of the better world) 2x
Where there is no night And the Lamb is the light
Where no tear drops fall
Oh Heaven, it’s not like here at all
(Repeat I)
The wonderful things the Lord showed me there. I cannot
describe. I saw there’s tables of stone which the names of the
multitudes of the redeemed were engraved in letters of gold.
And after we beheld in the glory of the temple we went out
and Jesus left the city. Soon we’ve heard His lovely voice
again saying “Come! Come! My People, you have come out
of great tribulation and done my will… suffered from me.
Come in to supper for I Myself will serve you.” And we
shouted Hallellujah, Glory and entered into the city. And I saw
a table of pure silver. It was many miles in length, and yet our
eyes could extend over it. I saw the fruit of the tree of life, the
manna, almonds, figs, pomegranates, grapes, and many
other kinds of fruits. And then Jesus said: “You mus go back
to earth again and relay to others what I have reveal to you.”
And then the Angel bore me down in this dark world.
Sometimes I think I can’t stay no longer here.
All things were looks so dreary. I feel lonely here.
For I have seen a better place, a better land.
Oh for wings like a dove
So that I could fly away.
I’d sail across the river Jordan, to better place.
Where there’s sweet repose, and the living water flows
And I’ll thirst no more,
Oh Heaven I long to reach your shore
(Repeat 1)

For I’ve caught a glimpse of glory
And I’m longing to be there

We will rise with those who sleep no more
To meet Him in the air
When shall the Son of Man appear

And I’m longing to be there)2x

In the Heart of Jesus
An Hour of Old Christian Hymn
In the heart of Jesus, there is love for you
A love most pure and tender,
Love most deep and true
Why should you be lonely,
Why for friendship sigh,
When the heart of Jesus
has a full supply?
In the mind of Jesus
There is thought for you
Warm as summer sunshine
Sweet as morning dew
Why should you be fearful,
Why take anxious thought
Since the mind of Jesus
Cares for those He bought?
In the home of Jesus
There’s a place for you
Glorious bright and joyous
Calm and peaceful too
Why then like a wanderer
Roam with weary pace
If the home of Jesus
Holds for you a place?

And the saints in glory there
Shouts of triumph bursting round you
Glory glory everywhere

We have heard and

An Hour of Old Christian Hymn
We have heard from the bright, The Holy Land
We have heard and our hearts are glad
For we we’re a lonely pilgrim band,
And weary and worn and sad
They tell us the saints have a dwelling there
No longer are homeless ones
And we know that the goodly land is fair
Where life’s pure river runs
We have heard of the palms, The robes, the crowns
And the silvery band in white
Of city fair with pearly gates, All radiant with light
We have heard of the saints and the angels there
with their harps of gold how they sing
Of the mount with the fruitful tree of life
Of the leaves that healing bring
We’re marching to Zion, Beautiful Beautiful Zion
We’re marching upward to Zion
That beautiful city of God
The King of that country He is Fair
He’s the joy and the light of that place
In His beauty we shall behold Him there
And bask in His smiling face
We’ll be there; we’ll be there in a little while,
We will join the pure and the blest;
We’ll have the palm, the robe, the crown
And forever we’ll be at rest. (Repeat Marching to Zion)
We have heard from the bright, the holy land
That beautiful city of God
City of God.
