I’m kinda homesick for a country
to which I’ve never been before
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
for time won’t matter anymore

Chorus
Beulah land I’m longing for you
and some day on thee I’ll stand
Where my home has been eternal
Beulah land, sweet Beulah land

I’m looking now across the river
where my faith will end in sight
There’s just a few more days to labor
then I will take my heavenly flight

My loved ones now are waiting for me
I now see their robes of white
The sweetest smiles upon their faces
that’s where the Savior is the light

I wonder when I’ll take my journey
I now see the end in sight
It lies across the rolling Jordan
on yonder banks I see the light

VERSE 1:
Amidst the hustling clamoring world sometimes it’s hard to hear
The voice of God speaking to my soul
But in my quiet time alone when I approach His holy throne
His tender words fall gently on my ear

CHORUS:
He still speaks. I know his voice
Sweeter sound never heard by mortal ears.
And to think that God by his own choice
Would speak to me it makes me rejoice.
He still speaks. I know his voice

VERSE 2:
There are so many who still doubt that God can speak today
They laugh and mock when we say we’ve heard from God.
Yet, that still small voice of God is heard
Above the doubters of this world
His timeless words ring out with hope today.

CHORUS:
He still speaks. I know his voice
Sweeter sound never heard by mortal ears.
And to think that God by his own choice
Would speak to me it makes me rejoice.
He still speaks. I know his voice

TAG:
He still speaks
He still speaks
I know his voice
I know his voice

He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
He calls me Dad and I call him Bub
With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh
He snuggles up close and says, “I want to be like you”

I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight
Trippin’ over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that someday he’ll see
He’s got a father in God ’cause he’s seen Jesus in me

Lord, I want to be just like You
‘Cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example
For his innocent eyes to see
Help me be a living Bible, Lord
That my little boy can read
I want to be just like You
‘Cause he wants to be like me

Got to admit I’ve got so far to go
Make so many mistakes and I’m sure that You know
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
With all the pressures in life I just can’t get it all right
But I’m trying so hard to learn from the best
Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness
‘Cause I know that he’ll learn from the things that he sees
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
But it’s only ’cause I’m learning from the best Father of them all

PALMS OF VICTORY
I saw the wayward trav’ler, in garments tattered clad,
And trav’ling up the Mounting, it seemed that he was sad.

His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone,
He shouted as he journeyed, DELIVERANCE WILL COME!

chorus:
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory I shall wear.

The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow,
His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow.

But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home,
Still shouting as he journeyed, DELIVERANCE WILL COME!

cho.
I saw him in the evening, the sun was getting low,
He had overtopped the mounting, and reached the vale below.

He saw the golden city, his everlasting home,
And shouted HOS-E-ANNA, DELIVERANCE WILL COME!
cho.

Praise Him, Praise Him
Praise Him in the morning
Praise Him in the noon time
Praise Him, Praise Him
Praise Him when the sun goes down

(Jesus, Jesus)
(Love Him)
(Serve Him)
(Sometimes I feel like heaven comes down)

Satan tries stop me,
and turn me aside.
Says “there’s no need
for you to go on,
no need to try
Even if there was a rapture,
you’d never make it in”
I just say Satan,
“that proves you’re a liar again”

CHORUS
I’m gonna keep pressing on,
Pressing on!
I’m gonna keep pressing on,
to the higher calling of my Lord.

Standing on the promises
of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages
let His praises ring;
Glory in the highest
I will shout and sing,
Standing on the
promises of God.

CHORUS
Standing, standing,
standing on the promises
of God, my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on
the promises of God.

Standing on the promises
that cannot fail,
When the howling storms
of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God
I shall prevail,
Standing on the
promises of God.

Standing on the promises
I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing
in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty
where Christ makes free,
Standing on the
promises of God.

Standing on the promises
of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally
by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily
with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the
promises of God.

Standing on the promises
I cannot fall,
Listening every moment
to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior
as my all in all,
Standing on the
promises of God.

Some morning when I stand in
God’s wonderful city
Where the light of heaven’s glory
Will never grow dim
And I shake hands with the Savior
Who gave me life eternal
I’d like to talk it over with Him

Chorus
I’d like to kneel down
and talk it all over with Him
I’d like to say Lord
you loved me
when my path was so dim
I cannot repay Him
when I meet Him
in that city above
But I’d like to talk it over
and thank Him for His
wonderful love

We’ll be singing hallelujahs forever and ever
For we’re told the cup of gladness
He’ll fill to the brim
But I know that I have brought Him
Some deep tears of sorrow
And I’d like to talk it over with Him

I dreamed I went to heaven
and you were there with me
We walked upon the streets of gold
beside the crystal sea

We heard the angels singing
then someone called your name
You turned and saw this young man
And he was smiling as he came
And he said, “Friend you do not
know me now”

And then he said, “But wait,
You used to teach my Sunday school
When I was only eight,

And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start
And one day when you said that prayer
I asked Jesus in my heart.”

Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before me
and said, “Remember the time,
A missionary came to your church
and his pictures made you cry,

You didn’t have much money,
but you gave it any way,
Jesus took the gift you gave
and that’s why I’m here today.”

One by one they came
Far as the eye could see
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity.

Little things that you had done
Sacrifices made,
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven now proclaimed

And I know up in heaven
You’re not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes

As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord
He said, “My child look around you,
Great is your reward.”

Chorus
That sounds like home to me,
like where I want to be.
There’ll be no tears
to fill our eyes again.
The hills will echo with the story
as we sing of His grace and glory;
Where the saints of God will be–
that sounds like “my” home to me.

Somewhere just across
the Jordan river
There’s a place of everlasting
joy and peace
The tree of life is blooming
there forever
And a crown of life is waiting
there for me

They say there’s mansions there
inside the city
A crystal river flowing by the tree of life
No pain or disappointment
there will hurt us
And Jesus Christ himself will be the light

I have journeyed,
thru the long dark night
out on the open sea,
By faith alone, sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching
over me.

Chorus
The anchor holds,
though the ship is battered
The anchor holds,
though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
as I face the raging seas;
The anchor holds in spite of the storm.

I’ve had visions,
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand;
But I never knew,
they’d slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand.

I have been young,
but I’m older now
And there has been beauty
these eyes have seen
But it was in the night,
when I faced the
storms of my life
That’s where God proved
His love to me

The Spirit and the Bride
are saying come
The Elect are being stirred
inside their hearts
Our uniting time has come,
We and the Father are one
Soon we’ll be with our Lord
for evermore.

CHORUS
The evening light has come
the Bride is making preparations
She’s hearing the shout
of Her King
The Token’s been applied
it’s cleaning from inside
And the Dove leads the Lamb
once again.

Fine linen clean and white
is granted to Her
She’s washed in the blood
of Gods’ own Son
With righteousness that’s not Her own
She’s just before His throne
Where She’ll reign with Her Lord
for evermore.

I have journeyed,
thru the long dark night
out on the open sea,
By faith alone, sight unknown
And yet His eyes were watching
over me.

Chorus
The anchor holds,
though the ship is battered
The anchor holds,
though the sails are torn
I have fallen on my knees
as I face the raging seas;
The anchor holds in spite of the storm.

I’ve had visions,
I’ve had dreams
I’ve even held them in my hand;
But I never knew,
they’d slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand.

I have been young,
but I’m older now
And there has been beauty
these eyes have seen
But it was in the night,
when I faced the
storms of my life
That’s where God proved
His love to me

High upon a mountain,
from where He ascended
The angel of the Lord
declared that it would be
He said, “Don’t you stand here grieving,
for the one that you see leaving,
In like manner coming back
just like he said”

CHORUS
I believe He’s coming back
like He said
I believe that a trumpet’s
gonna sound so loud,
it’ll resurrect the dead
In the twinkling of an eye,
He’ll split the eastern sky.
I believe He’s coming back
like He said

I believe the time is nearing,
that we’ll soon see His appearing
This could be the hour,
oh, this could be the day
When the Bride from every nation,
will lose Her gravitation,
In the middle of the air,
be caught away

In prisoner’s chains,
with bleeding stripes
Paul and Silas prayed that night
And in their pain began to sing
Their chains were loosed,
and they were free

Chorus
I bless Your name,
I bless Your name
I give You honor,
give You praise
You are the Life,
the Truth, the Way
I bless Your name,
I bless Your name

Some midnight hour
if you should find
you’re in a prison in your mind
Reach out and praise,
defy those chains
and they will fall in Jesus’ name

I dreamed of that city called Glory,
so bright and so fair,
When I entered the gates I cried, Holy,
the angels all met me there;
They showed me
from mansion to mansion,
and oh the sights I saw,
But I said, “I want to see Jesus,
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”

I thought when I entered that city,
my friends knew me well,
They showed me all through heaven.
the scenes are too num’rous to tell;
I saw Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
Mark, Luke, and Timothy
But I said, “I want to give praise,
to the One who died for me”

I thought when I saw my Savior,
Oh glory to God!
I just fell right down before Him
singing, “Praise to the name of the Lord”
I bowed down and worshipped Jehovah
my friend of Calvary,
For I wanted to give praise to Jesus
for saving a sinner like me.

Go ahead, drive the nails
in my hands
Laugh at me, where you stand
Go ahead, and say it isn’t me
The day will come,
when you will see

Chorus
Cause I’ll rise again
Ain’t no power on
earth can tie me down
Yes I’ll rise again
Death can’t keep
me in the ground

Go ahead, and
mock my name
My love for you
is still the same
Go ahead, and bury me
But very soon,
I will be free

Go ahead, say
I’m dead and gone
But you will see,
that you were wrong
Go ahead, and try
to hide the Son
But all will see,
that I’m the one

Cause I’ll come again
Ain’t no power on earth
can keep me back
Yes I’ll come again
come to take my people back

They were in an upper chamber,
they were all with one accord,
When the Holy Ghost descended,
as was promised by our Lord.

Chorus
O Lord, send the power just now,
O Lord, send the power just now,
O Lord, send the power just now,
and baptize ev’ry one.

Yes, this pow’r from heaven descended,
with the sound of rushing wind;
Tongues of fire came down upon them,
as the Lord said He would send.

Yes, this “old-time” power was given
to our fathers who were true;
This is promised to believers,
and we all may have it, too.

Soon I’ll come to the
end of life’s journey,
And I’ll meet the one
who gave His life for me;
I want to thank Him for
the love that He gave me;
And ten thousand years,
and more, I’ll praise His name.

Chorus
Ten thousand years and
we’ll just be started;
Ten thousand years and
we’ve just begun;
The battle’s over,
and the victory is won;
Ten thousand years and
we’ve just begun.

We will just begin to sing
loves sweet story,
It’s a song that the
angels cannot sing;
I’m redeemed by the blood
of my Savior,
And ten thousand years,
and more, I’ll reign with Him.

Would you be free from your
burden of sin?
There’s power in the blood,
power in the blood;
Would you o’er evil
a victory win?
There’s wonderful power
in the blood.

CHORUS
There is power, power,
wonder-working power
in the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power
wonder-working power
In the precious blood
of the Lamb.

Would you be free from your
passion and pride?
There’s power in the blood,
power in the blood;
Come for a cleansing
to Calvary’s tide;
There’s wonderful power
in the blood.

Would you be whiter,
much whiter than snow?
There’s power in the blood,
power in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in it’s
life-giving flow;
There’s wonderful power
in the blood.

Would you do service
for Jesus your King?
There’s power in the blood,
power in the blood;
Would you live daily
His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful power
in the blood.

Chorus
We are standing
on Holy ground
And I know
there are angels all around
Let us praise Jesus now
We are standing in His presence
on Holy ground

When I walked through the doors
I sensed his presence
And I knew this was a place
where love abounds
For this is a temple
the God we love abides here
Oh we are standing
in his presence
on holy ground

I know there is joy beyond all measure
and at his feet
sweet peace of mind
can still be found
For when we have a need
He is still the answer
Oh reach out and claim it
for we are standing
on holy ground

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
ev’rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
ev’rything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
thou wilt find a solace there.

Chorus
Why didn’t we recognize the mighty God
was here today
Didn’t our hearts burn,
as He talked along the way
Shouldn’t we have known
Shouldn’t we have known
Wished we had known Him
Before the Lord had come and gone

The day before yesterday they,
crucified my Lord
Beat Him unmercifully, and
nailed Him to a tree
The sky grew dark, and
the earth began to fall
People cried surely, we’ve
crucified the son of God

Today a friend and I,
walked down the road
Didn’t know our Lord had rose
A man drew near and spoke,
words so wise
Broke the bread and blessed it,
Vanished and opened up our eyes

I’m so glad I recognized the mighty God
is here today
Haven’t our heart burned,
as He talks along this way
I’m so glad I’ve known Him
I’m so glad I’ve known Him
I’m so glad I’ve known Him
Soon He’ll come and we’ll be gone!

Down from His glory,
ever living story,
My God and Saviour came,
and Jesus was His Name.
Born in a manger,
to His own a stranger,
A Man of sorrows,
tears and agony.

CHORUS
Oh how I love Him!
How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine,
my all in all!
The great Creator
became my Saviour,
And all God’s fullness
dwelleth in Him.

What condescension,
bringing us redemption;
That in the dead of night,
not one faint hope in sight;
God, gracious, tender,
laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win,
to save my soul.

Without reluctance, flesh and blood
His substance,
He took the form of man,
revealed the hidden plan.
Oh glorious mystery,
sacrifice of Calvary,
And now I know thou art
the great “I Am.”

Chorus
God is good, you know He is,
He’s good all the time;
God is good, Yes He is,
He’s good all the time;
You can search
the whole world over,
no greater friend you’ll find;
He’s not good just once in a while,
He’s good all the time

Now we all have friends who let us down
You know what I’m talking about
At the very first sign of trouble
they’re no where to be found;
Well Jesus stays, when others go
He’ll never leave your side
He’s your friend in stormy weather
He’s good all the time

He’s the one you call in the middle of the night
when your body moans with pain
Don’t worry about that wayward child
’cause He’s heard you call His name
He’ll put food on your table
when you don’t have a dime
He’s not good just now and then
He’s good all the time

I was guilty with nothing to say
And they were coming to take me away
When a voice from heaven was heard that said
Let him go take Me instead

And I should have been crucified
I should have suffered and died
I should have hung on the cross in disgrace
But Jesus, God’s Son took my place

That crown of thorns, a spear in His side
and all the pain it should have been mine
Those rusty nails were meant for me
Oh but Christ took them and let me go free

And I should have been crucified
I should have suffered and died
I should have hung on the cross in disgrace
But Jesus God’s Son took my place.

Yes Jesus God’s Son
Oh Jesus God’s Son
For Jesus God’s Son took my place.

Jehovah Jireh, my provider,
You are more than enough for me.
Jehovah Rapha, you’re my healer,
By your stripes I’ve been set free.
Jehovah Shammah, you are with me,
You supply all my needs.
You are more than enough,
more than enough,
You are more than enough for me!

Soon this life will all be over,
And our pilgrimage will end,
Soon we’ll take our heavenly journey,
Be at home again with friends
Heavens gates are standing open,
Waiting for our entrance there,
Some sweet day we’re going over,
All the beauties there to share.

Chorus
Just a little while to stay here
Just a little while to wait
Just a little while to labor
In the path that’s always straight
Just a little more of trouble
In this low and sinful state
Then we’ll enter Heaven’s portals,
Sweeping thru the pearly gates

Soon we’ll see the light of morning,
Then the new day will begin
Soon we’ll hear the father calling,
“Come, my children enter in”
Then we’ll hear a choir of angels,
Singing out the victory song
All our troubles will be ended,
And we’ll live with Heaven’s throng

Soon we’ll meet again our loved ones,
And we’ll take them by the hand,
Soon we’ll press them to our bosom,
Over in the promise land
Then we’ll be at home forever,
Thru out all eternity
What a blessed, blessed morning,
That eternal morn shall be

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

Go ahead, drive the nails
in my hands
Laugh at me, where you stand
Go ahead, and say it isn’t me
The day will come,
when you will see

Chorus
Cause I’ll rise again
Ain’t no power on
earth can tie me down
Yes I’ll rise again
Death can’t keep
me in the ground

Go ahead, and
mock my name
My love for you
is still the same
Go ahead, and bury me
But very soon,
I will be free

Go ahead, say
I’m dead and gone
But you will see,
that you were wrong
Go ahead, and try
to hide the Son
But all will see,
that I’m the one

Cause I’ll come again
Ain’t no power on earth
can keep me back
Yes I’ll come again
come to take my people back

They were in an upper chamber,
they were all with one accord,
When the Holy Ghost descended,
as was promised by our Lord.

Chorus
O Lord, send the power just now,
O Lord, send the power just now,
O Lord, send the power just now,
and baptize ev’ry one.

Yes, this pow’r from heaven descended,
with the sound of rushing wind;
Tongues of fire came down upon them,
as the Lord said He would send.

Yes, this “old-time” power was given
to our fathers who were true;
This is promised to believers,
and we all may have it, too.

Moses led God’s children
forty years he led them
thru the cold and thru the night
Tho they said “Let’s turn back”
Moses said “Keep going”
Canaan’s land is just in sight

Tho we walk thru valley’s
tho we climb high mountains
we cannot give up the fight
We must be like Moses
we must keep on going
Canaan’s land is just in sight

Chorus
There will be no sorrow
there in that tomorrow
We will be there by and by
Milk and honey flowing
that is where I’m going
Canaan’s land is just in sight

CONSIDER THE LILIES THEY DON’T TOIL NOR SPIN
BUT THERE’S NOT A KING WITH MORE SPLENDOR THAN THEM.
CONSIDER THE SPARROWS THEY DON’T PLANT NOR SOW
BUT HE’S FED BY THE MASTER WHO WATCHES THEM GROW.

CHORUS
WE HAVE A HEAVENLY FATHER ABOVE
WITH EYES FULL OF MERCY AND A HEART FULL OF LOVE.
HE REALLY CARES WHEN YOUR HEAD IS BOWED LOW.
CONSIDER THE LILIES AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW.

MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS FRIEND OF MINE
WHO HANGS OUT THE STARS AND TELLS THE SUN WHEN TO SHINE.
AND KISSES THE FLOWERS EACH MORNING WITH DEW
BUT HE’S NOT TOO BUSY TO CARE ABOUT YOU.

What a beautiful thought I am thinking
concerning a great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
on the pages of God’s Holy Word.

All the other birds are flocking ’round her
and she is despised by the squad
but the great speckled bird in the Bible
representing the great church of God.

All the other churches are against her
They envy her glory and fame
They hate her because she is chosen
And has not denied His Dear name.

She is spreading her wings for that rapture
She’s going to take by and by
When that great trumpet shall sound in the morning
She’ll meet her dear Lord in the sky.

Desiring to lower her standard
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teachings
But really they find no mistake.

I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I am proud that my name is on her book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Savior to look.

When Christ cometh descending from heaven
On the cloud that He writes in His Word
I’ll be joyfully carried to meet Him
On the wings of that great speckled bird.

At night I lay in bed
and I begin to cry
And my mind just fails
to know exactly why
I can’t explain with tongue or pen
the Spirit’s groanings deep within
It must be God here in my soul
’cause I feel the pull

Chorus
I feel the pull, I hear the call
and I know His Spirit’s moving me
to give my all
He speaks to me and I agree
Lord please come and take control
I feel the pull

I went to hear the Word
and with each line and phrase
He was drawing me to give
a higher praise
There’s a deep call to the deep
like a great magnet pulling me
I know for sure I’ll reach the goal
’cause I feel the pull

When peace like a river
Attendeth my way,
When sorrows,
Like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”

CHORUS
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well
With my soul.

Tho’ Satan should buffet,
Tho’ trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control.
That Christ hath regarded
My helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood
for my soul.

My sin – oh, the bliss
Of this glorious thought –
My sin – not in part,
But the whole
Is nailed to the cross;
And I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Oh my soul.

And Lord, haste the day
When my faith shall be sight.
The clouds be rolled back
as a scroll.
The trump shall resound,
And the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

But Lord, ’tis for Thee,
For Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave,
is our goal;
Oh, the shout of the angel!
Oh, the voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope!
Blessed rest of my soul!

When I come to the end
of my journey
I’ve lived a lifetime for this day alone
Just saw the light
and I’m getting a little bit anxious
Started out walking
but I’m running my last mile home
Yes I started out walking
but I’m running my last mile home

Chorus
Ring the bell,
Blow the horn,
Shout hallelujah!
Jordan roll on back let me thru!
Angels take me to the throne;
Little David play the prettiest music;
I’m a weary pilgrim,
running my last mile home
I’m a weary pilgrim,
running my last mile home

I’ve met with many crossroads
on my journey
But never once has my God
let me roam
The deserts and the valleys
lie behind me
The road ahead is straight
now I’m running my last mile home
Yes I started out walking,
but I’m running my last mile home

Heavens claimed so many smiling faces
‘Til I don’t feel at home here anymore
But I just heard the sound
of old familiar voices
They’re singing a new song
I’ve never heard before
Yes they’re singing a new song
I’ve never heard before

If I could count all the tears
that have fallen
It would seem
like an ocean to me
If my heart were a window
you could look through
Oh the pain
and scars you would see.

Chorus
Tears will never stain
the streets of that city
No wreath of death
on my mansion door.
Teardrops aren’t welcome
beyond the gates of Glory
Because the heart
will never break anymore.

I have questioned
the loss of a loved one
The grave seems
so final and cold.
But we’ll meet again
where death has no victory
In a land
where we’ll never grow old.

I’ve never met one man
without sorrow
And I’ve never looked
into eyes with no pain.
But I know a land
where grief is a stranger
And songs of joy
are the only songs we’ll sing.

There’s a lighthouse on a hillside
that overlooks lifes sea;
When I’m tossed it sends out a light,
a light that I might see
And the light that shines in darkest night
will lead me safely o’er;
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse
my ship would sail no more

CHORUS
I thank God for the lighthouse,
I owe my life to Him,
For Jesus is the lighthouse,
and from the rocks of sin,
He has shown His light around me
that I might clearly see,
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse,
where would this ship be.

Everybody that lives around us
says “Tear that lighthouse down”,
They say “The big ships
don’t sail this way anymore,
there’s no use in it standing ’round”,
Then my mind goes back
to that stormy night,
when just in time I saw the light;
The light from that old lighthouse,
will lead me home to Him.

Chorus
We are standing
on Holy ground
And I know
there are angels all around
Let us praise Jesus now
We are standing in His presence
on Holy ground

When I walked through the doors
I sensed his presence
And I knew this was a place
where love abounds
For this is a temple
the God we love abides here
Oh we are standing
in his presence
on holy ground

I know there is joy beyond all measure
and at his feet
sweet peace of mind
can still be found
For when we have a need
He is still the answer
Oh reach out and claim it
for we are standing
on holy ground

At night I lay in bed
and I begin to cry
And my mind just fails
to know exactly why
I can’t explain with tongue or pen
the Spirit’s groanings deep within
It must be God here in my soul
’cause I feel the pull

Chorus
I feel the pull, I hear the call
and I know His Spirit’s moving me
to give my all
He speaks to me and I agree
Lord please come and take control
I feel the pull

I went to hear the Word
and with each line and phrase
He was drawing me to give
a higher praise
There’s a deep call to the deep
like a great magnet pulling me
I know for sure I’ll reach the goal
’cause I feel the pull

Alas, and did my Savior Bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I?

CHORUS
At the cross, at the cross Where I first saw the light,
And the burdens of my heart, rolled away,
It was there by faith, I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day.

Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature’s sin.

This might I hide my blushing face
While Calvary’s cross appears
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness
And melt mine to tears

But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
Tis all that I can do!

There’s a table dressed in linen
a banquet is prepared
A host of angels gathered
for the celebration there
The bride is almost ready
in spotless white array
A hush falls over heaven
as the groom begins to say

Chorus
Come away, my love
Come away, my love
I have waited for this day,
When I could give to you
my name
Eternity awaits us,
Come away……my love

I have loved you from creation
long before you came to me
I’ve carried that love with me
all the way to Calvary
Though it wasn’t over
when they laid me in the tomb
I proved my love would never die
I rose again for you

Take us away, my Lord
Take us away, my Lord
We have waited for this day,
When we could take upon
your name
Eternity awaits us,
Take us away, my Lord

Down from His glory,
ever living story,
My God and Saviour came,
and Jesus was His Name.
Born in a manger,
to His own a stranger,
A Man of sorrows,
tears and agony.

CHORUS
Oh how I love Him!
How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine,
my all in all!
The great Creator
became my Saviour,
And all God’s fullness
dwelleth in Him.

What condescension,
bringing us redemption;
That in the dead of night,
not one faint hope in sight;
God, gracious, tender,
laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win,
to save my soul.

Without reluctance, flesh and blood
His substance,
He took the form of man,
revealed the hidden plan.
Oh glorious mystery,
sacrifice of Calvary,
And now I know thou art
the great “I Am.”

Some glad morning we shall see
Jesus in the air,
Coming after you and me
joy is ours to share;
What rejoicing there will be
when the saints shall rise,
Headed for that jubilee,
yonder in the skies.

Chorus
Oh what singing,
Oh what shouting,
On that happy morning
when we all shall rise;
Oh what glory,
Hallelujah!
When we meet our blessed
Savior in the skies.

Seems that now I almost see
all the sainted dead,
Rising for that jubilee
that is just ahead;
In the twinkling of an eye,
changed with them to be,
All the living saints to fly
to that jubilee.

When with all that heavenly host
we begin to sing,
Singing in the Holy Ghost
how the heaven’s will ring;
Millions there will join the song
with them we shall be.
Praising Christ thru ages long
heavens Jubilee.

The holy hills of Heaven call me
To mansions bright across the sea
Where loved ones wait and crowns are given
When the hills of home start calling me

This house of clay is but a prison
Bars of bone hold my soul
But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open
When teh angel sets my spirit free
I’ll take my flight like a mighty eagle
When the hills of home start calling me

I see loved ones over yonder
Their tears are gone and their hearts are free
And from the throne of my Savior beckons
And the hills of home are calling me

Some morning when I stand in
God’s wonderful city
Where the light of heaven’s glory
Will never grow dim
And I shake hands with the Savior
Who gave me life eternal
I’d like to talk it over with Him

Chorus
I’d like to kneel down
and talk it all over with Him
I’d like to say Lord
you loved me
when my path was so dim
I cannot repay Him
when I meet Him
in that city above
But I’d like to talk it over
and thank Him for His
wonderful love

We’ll be singing hallelujahs forever and ever
For we’re told the cup of gladness
He’ll fill to the brim
But I know that I have brought Him
Some deep tears of sorrow
And I’d like to talk it over with Him

I care not today what
the morrow may bring,
if shadow or sunshine or rain,
The Lord I know ruleth
o’er everything,
and all of my worry is vain.

CHORUS
Living by faith in Jesus above
Trusting, confiding in His great love
From all harm safe in His sheltering arm
I’m living by faith and I feel no alarm

Though tempest may blow
and the storm clouds arise,
obscuring the brightness of life;
I’m never alarmed
at the overcast skies,
the Master looks on at the strife.

I know that He safely
will carry me through,
no matter what evils betide,
Why should I then care,
though the tempest may blow,
if Jesus walks close to my side.

Our Lord will return to this
earth some sweet day,
our troubles will then all be o’er.
The Master so gently
will lead us away,
beyond that blest heavenly shore.

I would love to tell you
what I think of Jesus,
Since I found in Him
a friend so strong and true;
I would tell you how
He changed my life completely
He did something that
no other friend could do.

Chorus
No one ever cared for me
like Jesus,
There’s no other friend
so kind as He;
No one else could take the sin
and darkness from me,
O how much He cared for me.

All my life was full of sin
when Jesus found me,
All my heart was full
of misery and woe;
Jesus placed His strong
and loving arms around me,
And He led me in the way
I ought to go.

Ev’ry day He comes
to me with new assurance,
More and more I
understand the words of love;
But I’ll never know just
why He came to save me,
Till some day I see
His blessed face above.

I feel the touch, of hands
so kind and tender
They’re leading me,
in paths that I must trod
I have no fear,
for Jesus walks beside me
For I’m sheltered in,
the arms of God

Chorus
So let the storms rage high,
the dark clouds rise,
they won’t worry me
For I’m sheltered safe,
within the arms of God
He walks with me,
and not of earth shall harm me
For I’m sheltered in,
the arms of God

Soon I shall hear,
the call from heavens portals
“Come home my child,
it’s the last mile you must trod”
I’ll fall to sleep,
and wake in God’s new heaven
For I’m sheltered in,
the arms of God

A woman tried many physicians
yet grew worse,
so to Jesus she came
And when the crowd
tried to restrain her
she whispered
these words thru her pain

Chorus
Touching Jesus
is all that really matters,
Then your life
will never be the same;
There’s only one way
to touch Him
Just believe,
when you call on His name.

I was bound when
I knelt at the altar
they said Jesus
could meet every need
And when this prisoner
finally touched Jesus
He set me free,
praise the Lord, free indeed

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
ev’rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
ev’rything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness,
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
thou wilt find a solace there.

There’s a land beyond the river,
That we call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore
By faith’s decree;
One by one we’ll gain the portals,
There to dwell with the immortals,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.

CHORUS
Don’t you hear the bells now ringing?
Don’t you hear the angels singing?
‘Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee.
In that far-off sweet forever,
Just beyond the shining river,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.

We shall know no sin nor sorrow,
In that haven of tomorrow,
When our barque shall sail beyond
the silver sea;
We shall only know the blessing
Of our Father’s sweet caressing,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.

When our days shall know their number,
When in death we sweetly slumber,
When the King commands the spirit
to be free
Nevermore with anguish laden,
We shall reach that lovely Aiden,
When they ring the golden bells
for you and me.

I started out traveling for the Lord
my years ago.
I’ve had a lot of heartaches,
had a lot of troubles and woes.
Oh, when I would stumble,
then I would humble down,
I’d say, ” Thank the Lord,
I wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now.”

CHORUS
I wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now,
I’ve got to make it to Heaven somehow.
Though the devil tempts me and
tries to turn me around.
He’s offered everything that’s got a name,
all the wealth I want and worldly fame,
But if I could , still I wouldn’t take
nothing for my journey now.

There’s nothing in this world that
could ever take the place of God’s love.
Silver and gold could never buy
His love from above.
When my soul needs healing and
I begin feeling His power,
I can say, ” Thank the Lord,
I wouldn’t take nothing for my journey now.”
