1. AS WE PR AISE YOU R NAM E

Adoration now we render,
To your sov’reign pow’r surrender,
Let us see you in your splendor,
As we praise, as we praise your name.
Thank you for our sins remission;
Hear us offer our petition;
Help us love without condition,
By your grace Lord, keep us guided;
And our wills fully decided,

That we be one, not divided,
Thank you Lord for love unending,
And for gifts you’re ever sending.
On your grace we are depending,
We are grateful and excited,
For the flame or praise ignited;
May your Spirit be delighted,

Your mercy is beyond compare;
None other will we ever find.

You reveal a heart that is kind.
You give your best to set men free.

You gave your own Son for our sin.
Such love is a great mystery.
Mercy like this has never been.
CHORUS
Each morning your mercies are new;

By your grace they fall like the dew.
Throughout the day they continue.
Your mercies are ever in view.
2.
Like sheep we often go astray;
We wonder away from your path.
We ought to some penalty pay,
But you show us mercy, not wrath.
Oh Lord how can we thank you more

For never forsaking your love.
In mercy you ever restore;
For ever we'll praise you above.

So we praise His holy name,
For we want our Lord to know it;
We're so grateful that He came.

All who were the slave of sin.
Lord, this Easter day we bless you,
For you did the victory win.

Who defeated our great foe.

But by His grace ever glow.

He's the one we'll ever praise.
There will be endless jubilee
When He all from death will raise.
CHORUS

There's not now, nor ever will be
Any king to take your role.

To be loyal servants now.

Of life’s victory o’er death.

To praise our Lord with our breath.

He reduced death to a zero.
He is now Lord of all things.
He is alive now and ever.

From all bondage He sets free.
Nothing from His love can sever.
Endless will be jubilee.
Easter is our great rejoicing.

Life in Christ will never end.
This, the Gospel, we are voicing.
He is our eternal friend.
He bore all sin on Calvary.

He paid the price for it all.
He will now set every man free,
If on His name they will call.
He is alive and he’s trying
To save each lamb gone astray.
He will not endure their dying;
This good news we must relay.
He’s alive and I’m forgiven.

He’s alive and coming back.
He’ll be taking us to heaven
Where death never can attack.
Jesus hear our Easter praises

As we exalt you our King.
Give us endless words and phrases,
For your praise endless we’ll sing.

For in Him we never die.
Living Lord this Easter Day
All our praise to you we pay.
For this season of the year,

For the beauty of the Spring,
For all nature’s power to cheer,
For the voice by which we sing,
Risen Lord this Easter Day
All our praise to you we pay.
For the enemy’s defeat,

For the hope of life above,
For your reign on mercy’s seat,
For your sacrificial love,
Reigning Lord this Easter Day,
We rejoice in you always.
For your pro mise to return,

For your presence with us now,
For your ever kind concern,
For the gifts you us endow,
Coming Lord this Easter Day,
Praise is all our tongue can say.

Sung to Ode to Joy

In this life that goes so fast.
There is good seed I want to sow
To pro duce fruit that will last.
Chorus:

22. FROM GLORY TO GLORY Based on II Cor. 3:7-18

1.
The Lord is the spirit,
And where the spirit is
Freedom is infinite,
And He gives us what is His.
Glorious is Christ-likeness;
He helps us to reflect,
That those in great darkness
May light in us detect.
CHORUS
From glory to glory

We are being transformed;
Till we end this story,
And are to Christ conformed.
2.
The glory of Moses
Was covered by a veil;
Such action supposes
It was starting to fail.
The glory of the law

Was meant to pass away,
That even greater awe
Could come to earth to stay.
CHORUS
3.
When to the Lord Jesus
A man will turn his eyes,
He sees that which pleases
Our God in paradise.
Gone that veil of hiding,

The light of life now shines.
Light that's ever guiding,
And that never declines.
CHORUS
23. GOD HAS A FACE
We cannot see God the Father;
The Holy Spirit leaves no trace.
These facts our faith need not bother,
For in Jesus God has a face.
God has a face that we can see
In both time and eternity.
He joined the human race just so
His heavenly Father we could know.
The eyes of man are so finite
There’s much of God in shades so dim,
But Jesus came to give the light
That we might get a glimpse of Him
Yo u cannot see and live to tell
If God’s glory comes your way,
But Jesus came and bore our hell
And by it tore the veil away.
He let the light of heaven shine
On this dark world of sin and shame.

He took away your sin and mine,
To show love was his aim.
He came to show to our blind eyes
What can be found no other place.
He made it clear as sunny skies,
That God has a loving face.
God has a face and we can see it
If we in his light will run.
God has a place and we can find it
If we say “Thy will be done.”
God has a grace and we can feel it
If all evil ways we shun.
God has a space and we can fill it
If we make Him number one.
In the person of His Son.
24. GOD IS LOVE
THE WORLD IS BLACK, THE WORLD IS WHITE

IT'S ALL COLOR S THAT ARE IN SIGHT.
THE WORLD IS WRONG, SO SELDOM RIGHT
IT REJECTS SONG, AND CH OOSES FIGHT.
CHORUS
BUT GO D IS LOVE, YES GO D IS LOVE
SHOUT IT FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE.
THIS WORLD BELOW HAS GOT TO KNOW
THAT GOD IS LOVE, YES GOD IS LOVE.
II
MAN IS SO BLIND, CAN'T SEE THE LIGHT
HE WALKS IN DARK, LIVES IN THE NIGHT
BEAUTY DENIED FOR EVILS BLIGHT
HE PURSUES SIN, WITH ALL HIS MIGHT.
CHORUS
25. GOD IS OUR ROCK
GOD IS OUR ROCK

TO WHO M WE LIFT OUR EY ES.
GOD IS OUR ROCK
WE WILL NOT CO M PROM ISE.
GOD IS OUR ROCK

OH HELP US LORD BE WISE,
AS WE SHOUT IT ALL ABOUT
GOD IS OUR ROCK.
II.

OUT FEET TO STABILIZE.

GOD IS OUR ROCK

THIS FAITH WE EXERCISE.
AS WE SHOUT IT ALL ABOUT
GOD IS OUR ROCK.

And no payment He demands,
But I will ever obey H im
With my heart, my head and hands.
He's my living Lord of wonder-

Conqueror of death and hell.
I want a voice like the thunder
My great joy in Him to tell.
He's alive and ever with me

As He promised long ago.
I want men to see Him in me,
As He walks with me below.
I want His light in life's darkness
To reveal to men the way,
M aking my every remark bless,
And through me His love convey.
I want all the world to know Him

As their Savior and their King.
I want all the world to show Him
As they with the ransomed sing.
Glory to the Son whose risen,

And who never will go down.
He has broken earth's dark prison,
And now wears life's royal crown.
34. HE'S THE ALPH A AND OM EGA
HE'S THE ALPHA AND O M EGA

THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
HE'S THE HERO OF LIFE’S DRAM A
AND OUR EVER LASTING FRIEND.
HE'S THE ALPHA AND O M EGA

THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
BRIGHTER THAN THE STAR OF VAGA
BEYOND MIND TO COMPREHEND.
HE'S THE FIR ST AND VERY LAST

YES HE'S JUST ONE OF KIND.
HE'LL QUENCH YOU R TH IRST SO VERY FAST
AND HE'LL GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND.
TO EVERYO NE WHO HAS A THIRST

HE GIVES DRINK WITHOUT CO ST.
WITHOUT HIM WE WOULD ALL BE CURSED
AND WITHOUT HOPE BE LOST.
HE LEADS US TO HEAVEN'S OWN SPRING

WITH WATER OH SO PUR E.
HE'S FREED US NOW SO CAN SING
IN HIM SIN HAS A CURE.
35. HE'S THE SUN THAT CASTS NO SHADOW
I was looking for a lighthouse

To help me find my way.
I listened to my friends and spouse,
And all they had to say.
Life was dark and seemed so dreary.

I was glad when day was done.
I was tired and so weary;
Life was work and seldom fun.
Then the day I'll always treasure

Chased that darkness all away,
For I found light without measure
And of Jesus now I say-
He's the light that brings the flowers

To the garden of my soul.
He's the light that now empowers
My whole life to reach its goal.
There is a goal for each of us

We must reach before we die,
And our only hope is Jesus
And on H im we can rely.
Don't seek to find another sun
To be your guide in the dark.
For Jesus is the only one
Who can lead you to your mark.
There are lights of earthly cities

That have appeal to the crowds,
But the Lord of light just pities
Those who look below the clouds.
They find lights that shine and glimmer

And give joy for half a day,
But they'll never be a winner
Trusting lights that pass away.
When lights of time are going out,

And the times are dark and drear;
When all lights seem to lose their clout,
Let this message your heart cheer:
Look to Jesus, He's the sunlight

That gives light to every man.
He alone can make your life bright,
And illumine God's great plan.
He's the one Sun in the heavens

That gives life to all the earth.
By His power all is driven
From the day it had its birth.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow

Be in morning or high noon.
Be it winter or in June.
Any time the year around.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow;
He's a Sun that's most profound.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow,

With Him there can be no night.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow;
Everywhere He is the light.
There's no light that's always shining

In this world so filled with night.
And there is no use in whining,
For that won't keep on the light.
All life under earthly sunshine

Has its shadows all around.
You can earthly blessings combine
But still shadows will abound.
Oh the sun stood still for Joshua,

And it helped him win the fight,
But it no doubt cast a shadow,
And it did go down at night.
In the great so ng of Deborah

She did make this fact quite plain,
That God's own were strong as the sun,
And that's why their foes were slain.
The solar sun sets every night

When its glowing orb goes down,
But Jesus still shines pure and bright;
There's none like Him can be found.
On the water or the land.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow,
For His is a flawless plan.
36. HIS NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES Based on Phil.2:9-11
1
In heaven Jesus is Lord,
And the day will come on earth;
He will be by all adored,
And exalted for His worth.
At His name all knees will bow,

And every tongue will confess.
It’s a shame it’s not true now,
It would solve much of life’s mess.
CH OR US:
His name is above all names.

His claims are above all claims.
His spirit our heart inflames.
All that He made He reclaims.
2
Join all in praising His name,
Who came to die on the cross.
Earth can never be the same.
He regained all that was loss.
On earth and under the earth;

All heaven too will join in
Singing a song of His worth,
This sovereign Savior from sin.

And light each path I trod.
I love to go to Sunday School

And learn to love Christ more;
To make myself a better tool,
As we God's Word explore.
I love to hear the Bible read,
And hear its stories told.
I love to know what God has said,
For it my life will mold.
I love to memorize the Word,

And hide God's truth within.
There's nothing I have ever heard
Like it to keep from sin.
I love to sing the songs of praise,

And clap my hands with joy.
It makes Sundays the best of days,
And all my doubts destroy.
I love my Christian family

Brothers, sisters in Christ.
I hate to be an absentee
For such love can't be priced.
So listen to this song I sing,

And come with me my friend.
We'll follow Christ our living King,
And praise Him without end.

47. IF I HAD A THOUSAND LIVES TO LIVE
If I had a thousand lives to live,

I’d live them all for you.
If I had a thousand lives to give,
I’d give them all for you.
If I had a thousand eyes to see,

I’d devote all to see your face.
If I had a thousand legs to run,
I’d be running to your grace.
If I had a thousand tongues to sing

I’d be praising your great name.
If I had a thousand bells to ring,
I’d be proclaiming your great fame.
If I had a thousand books to write,

I’d be writing of your love.
If I had a thousand ways of flight,
I’d be soaring to you above.
If I had a thousand prayers to pray,

I’d direct them to your throne.
If I had a thousand debts to pay,
I’d know you’d make them your own.
If I had a thousand ears to hear,

I’d be listening to your voice.
If I had a thousand friends to cheer,
I’d still make you my first choice.
If I had a thousand minds to think,

I’d develop thoughts so fine.
If I had a thousand thoughts to think,
I’d think the greatest is, your mine.
If I had a thousand tears to cry,
I’d cry for all the lost.
For I know that for them you did die,
And you gladly paid the cost.
If I had a thousand w ays to say,

How much you love them all,
I know many would come your way,
And give heed to your call.
But I haven’t got a thousand

Of anything I know.
I haven’t got a thousand
Of anything to show.
So one thing comes through so clearly,

I’ve got the wrong num ber here.
The number Christ holds most dearly
Should bring to our heart much cheer.
So though I only have one chance

To live a life for you,
Help me daily to advance,
And show that it is true.
One life is all that’s needed

To bring the dark world light.
One life, when your Words heeded
Can bring victory in the fight.
W e don’t need a thousand of anything at all.

W e just need a thousand times to listen to your call.
Give us a thousand blessings as before your throne we fall,
That we with just a single life can exalt you above all.
48. IN JESUS'S NAME

50. IT IS FINISHED Based on John 19:30

Can be sung to Ode to Joy
KNOWING ALL WAS NOW COM PLETED,

SCRIPTURE WOULD NOW BE FULFILLED.
OF MOISTURE HE WAS DEPLETED,
AND HE KNEW HE'D SOON BE KILLED.
I AM THIRSTY JESUS SHOUTED;

HIS PARCHED LIPS WERE GIVEN WINE.
THOU GH IN PAIN HE NEVER POUTED
HE IN DEATH AS LIFE DID SHINE.
CH OR US:
IT IS FINISHED CRIED OUR SAVIOR,
THERE'S NOTHING MO RE TO BE DO NE.
THERE'S NO BELIEF NOR BEHAVIOR
CAN IMPROVE THIS VICTORY WON.
II
JESUS PAID OUR DEBT COMPLETELY;
NOT ONE PENNY'S LEFT TO PAY.
IN PERFECTION WRAPPED UP NEATLY
HE TOOK ALL OUR SINS AWAY.
THERE'S NOTHING A SINNER CAN DO

TO WIN FAVOR FROM ABOVE.
HE MUST BID ALL EFFORTS ADO,
AND RECEIVE THIS SAVIOR'S LOVE.
51. IT IS FINISHED 2
1.
"It is finished," cried the Savior,
Then He died upon the cross.
He did all to win God's favor,
And to save what would be loss.
If His work was not completed
Men would be lost, never found.
This chance could not be repeated;
To this hour Christ was bound.
CHORUS
"It is finished! It is finished!"

Christ reports to God on high.
No force on earth can diminish
This our Savior's vict'ry cry.
2.
Seldom can life's goals be finished,
There is never enough time.
There is so much more that we wished
Could be achieved as we climb.
But our Savior came to this earth

To live life of such short span.
His life was of infinite worth,
But He laid it down for man.
CHORUS
3.
There is now no more to be done
To atone for man's dark sin.
Over every foe our Lord won,
So in Him we too might win.
He was over all victorious.

"It is finished," our Lord cried.
His triumph was so glorious.
He won life and then He died.
CHORUS
52. IT IS FINISHED 3
It is finished was His great cry

Just before our Savior died.
This was far more than a deep sigh,
As He felt His life subside.
It is clear He was announcing

To the Father up above;
In one word He was pronouncing
Victory was won for love.
"It is finished! It is finished!"

It can never be undone.
It can never be diminished;
Our salvation through the Son.
History can't be repeated.

He will never die again.
He has once for all completed
His great sacrifice for sin.
He, the Lamb of God has given

His life-blood for all mankind,
So that all may go to heaven
If they will this great truth find.
Nothing more can we add to it.

It is done once and for all.
But we each one must pursue it,
And on Jesus we must call.
We must take Him as our Savior,

And then trust Him as our Lord.
We will then have God's full favor,
And reap eternal reward.
53. IT IS WONDERFUL TO KNOW
IT IS WONDERFUL TO KNOW
THAT GOD LOVES ME EVERY DAY.
IT GIVES ME AN INNER GLOW
THAT WILL NEVER PASS AWAY.
IT IS WO NDERFUL TO HEAR
HOW GOD GAVE TO US HIS SON.
THERE IS NO N EED FOR US TO FEAR
FOR HE HAS THE BATTLE WON.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE
ALL THAT HIS HANDS DID CREATE.
FROM THE M OUNTAINS TO THE SEA
ALL HE MADE IS TRULY GREAT.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO FEEL
HE IS EVER BY M Y SIDE.
HIS PRESENCE CAN BE SO REAL
AS I FOLLOW HIM , M Y GUIDE.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO SMELL
THE FRAGRANCE OF HIS SWEET LOVE.
NO AROM A CAN EXCEL
THAT WHICH COM ES FROM CHRIST ABOVE.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO TASTE
OF THE GLORY TH AT'S TO BE.
I JUST NOTHING WANT TO WASTE
OF THE RICHES HE GIVES M E.
IT IS WOND ERFUL TO LAUGH

AT THE HUM OR H E HAS MADE.
M ONK EY, ELEPHANT, GIRAFFE
THERE'S NO END TO HIS PARADE.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO WALK
IN THE WAY THAT PLEASES H IM .
AND TO LISTEN TO HIS TALK
WHICH GIVES LIGHT THAT WILL NOT DIM .
IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE
A PART OF HIS CHOSEN BRIDE.
AND FOR ALL ETERNITY
TO WITH HIM ON HIGH RESIDE.
IT IS WONDERFUL TO SING
TO THE LOR D I DEARLY LOVE.
I WILL EVER TO HIM CLING
TILL I JOIN HIM UP ABOVE.
54.
JESUS CAME FOR OUR SALVATION
JESUS CAME FOR OUR SALVATION

FILLING OUR HEARTS WITH ELATION.
MAKING US A NEW CREATION
LET US PRAISE, LET US PRAISE HIS NAME.
HE BECAME OUR SURE FOUNDATION
IN HIM WE'RE ON ROCK FORMATION.
SAFETY'S SURE IN THIS LOCATION
SO WE PRAISE, SO WE PRAISE HIS NAME.
HE SAVED US FROM SURE DAMNATION

FROM THE FIRES OF SOUL CREMATION.
THAT'S WHY HE'S OUR MIND'S FIXATION
AS WE PRAISE, AS WE PRAISE HIS NAME.
HE ALL THINGS IS THEIR CAUSATION

CREATOR IS HIS VOCATION.
EVERLASTING HIS DURATION
WE WILL PRAISE, WE WILL PRAISE HIS NAME.
55. JESUS HEALED THE BROK EN HEARTED
1.
Jesus healed the broken hearted,
And He set the captives free.
He never turned and departed
From anyone's misery.
He was filled with great compassion

For those, sickness did enslave,
Even though 'twas not the fashion,
He both healed them and forgave.
2.
Jesus befriended each victim
Who suffered from any ill.
It mattered not what the symptom,
He knew healing was God's will.
Jesus as the great physician
Never turned a patient down.
No matter what your position
On His compassion don't frown.
3.
Jesus was filled with compassion
For all sick in flesh and mind.
He made it his greatest passion
To reveal that God is kind.
For Jesus it did not matter

If one's sickness was from sin.
He came evil's grip to shatter
So that new life could begin.
4.
A friend is one who will come in
When the others all walk out.
His main goal is to help win
The battle with fear and doubt.
Jesus as our great physician

Has the greatest remedy:
Love each one in ill condition
With a love that they can see.
5.
Death is the final word of sin;
It's a word we all must hear,
But because of our Physician
It's a word we need not fear.
His is a voice so much stronger.

It's a voice that wakes the dead.
When He speaks we'll fear no longer,
But we'll love just as H e said.
56. JESUS IS FIRST BASED ON COL. 1:15-20

sung to Hymn to Joy by Beethoven
He's the image of Deity,

Icon of God's own Being.
In Him invisibility
Can by human eyes be seen.
First Born over all creation;

All that is was by Him made.
All things both in earth and heaven,
He their foundation has laid.
Visible and invisible,

All was created by Him.
Every power conceivable,
Was created just for Him.
He existed before all things,

No exceptions can be found.
He's the source of power that brings
Order by which all is bound.
He holds everything together,

And He's the Head of the church.
There is no need to ask whether
We should for another search.
He is the very beginning;

He's the firstborn from the dead.
None can over Him be winning;
He is supremely ahead.
God was pleased to have His fulness

Dwell so completely in Him,
And through His divine completeness,
Reconcile all things to Him.
Nothing on earth or in heaven

Will make God suffer a loss,
For peace He has just the weapon
Through His blood shed on the cross.
57.
JESUS IS MY EVERYTHING
He’s my weekdays and my weekend,

He’s my week, my month and year.
He’s my Lord, my Guide, my best Friend,
He’s my everything most dear.
He’s my Life, my Light, my Sunshine.

He’s the source of all my Hope.
He’s all that’s worth while I call mine.
He is precious beyond scope.
He’s my Way, my Truth and my Door.

He’s my Savior and my King.
He is all I love and adore.
He is just my Everything.
Jesus is Everything to me;

He’s the One on whom I call.
He is Everything One could be;
Jesus is my All in All.
58. JESUS IS ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Based on Luke 24:13-35, and sung to Ode To Joy.
JESUS IS ON THE ROAD AGAIN,

OUR COMPANION WHERE WE WALK.
HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE WHEN
OUR LIFE HAS A NEED FOR TALK.
HE WILL NEVER NOW FORSAKE US,

BUT BE EVER AT OUR SIDE.
HE WILL ON LIFE'S ROAD O'ER TAKE US,
AND IN OUR HOME WILL ABIDE.
CHORUS:
HE WILL WALK THE ROAD BESIDE US,
AS HE TEACHES US THE WAY.
HE'S THE RISEN CHRIST, LORD JESUS,
AND HE'S WITH US NOW TO STAY.
II
IN THE WORK PLACE HE WILL BE THERE,
IF WE CALL UPON HIS NAME.
HE WILL HELP US DO OUR FAIR SHARE,
AND AVOID PASSING THE BLAME.
IN OUR FAMILY HIS PRESENCE

WILL REMIND US TO BE KIND.
WHEN THE PRESSURE BECOMES INTENSE
AS WE FROM LIFE'S STRESS UNWIND.
CHORUS
III
JESUS DOES NOT ONLY MEET US
IN THE CHURCH OR SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Died as our sacrifice.

This faith I'll share, this hope declare.

Sung to Love Divine All Love Excelling
Lord, I'm missing your involvement,

In the life of everyday,
But I'm longing for evolvement,
And that's why this prayer I pray.
Let me see you in the morning

As I wait to face the day,
As my body I'm adorning
Help me my soul to survey.
Help me sense that you are present,

If I'll only be aware.
Help me focus on the pleasant,
And rejoice in all that's fair.
In the hustle and the bustle
Of my day at work and play,
Lord I'm hoping, and I'll trust you'll
Through my life your joy convey.
Help me see the needs around me

As a chance to show your love.
When life's problems do confound me,
Turn my eyes to you above.
When my day reaches an ending,

And the sun of light has set,
May I sense your great befriending,
And lie down without reg ret.
72. LOVE IS NOT A LUXURY
Love is not a luxury-

Something we can do without.
God made love necessary;
Love is what life is all about.
Never say it's not your need,

You'll do just fine without love.
To this message please give heed-
It's God's best gift from above.
It's a treasure above price;

Greater than silver and gold.
Nothing in life can suffice
To give warmth in this world's cold.
All other things can fail you;

Even things like faith and hope,
But love will ever stay true,
And through trials help you cope.
All others can let you down,

And be absent from your side.
Love will always be around
Strength and guidance to pro vide.

91. OUR LORD WAS DETERM INED
I.
It was time to return
To the Father above;
Our salvation to earn,
And to show us God's love.
So He pointed His face

Toward Jerusalem,
Where in infinite grace
He would die for all men.
Chorus:
Our Lord was determined

He would suffer the loss.
He'd be every man's friend;
He would die on the cross.
II.
But men tried to stop Him
From fulfilling God's will,
But He never grew grim,
But just aimed for that hill.
The hill of Mt. Calvary
Was His destination;
To set all sinners free
From God's condemnation.
Chorus:
III.
People did reject Him;
His own men let Him down;
Recruitments became slim,
But our Lord did not frown.
He just set His face for

What was His supreme goal;
To open Heaven's door
To save every lost soul.
Chorus:
IV.
O Lord how we praise you
For the price that you paid;
All that men put you through
Could not make you evade.
The cross was your clear aim;

That's why to earth you came;
To carry all our shame,
And our souls to reclaim.

And in hard time too

Sorrow and care.

And to encourage

125. THE GO OD SAM ARITAN
HE WAS JUST A TR AVELING M AN

HEADING DOWN TO JERICHO.
FOR EVERY STEP H E HAD A PLAN
BUT ROBBERS DEALT HIM A BLO W.

THAT EXPENSE I TOO WILL BEAR.
5
HE WAS TRULY A GREAT NEIGHBOR

129. THE LOVER'S DREAM Based on Song of Songs 3
All night long upon my bed

There was panic in my head.
M y heart's love was not around,
And no where could he be found.
I got up to take a look,

Every cranny, every no ok;
Every street and every square-
I searched for him everywhere.
Of the watchman I was found,

As they made their way around,
But to my pathetic plea
They offered nothing to me.
Scarcely had I passed them by

When my lover caught my eye.
I clung and would not let go
Till my home I did him show.
Just what could this strange dream mean

That leads to a bedroom scene?
I'm not sure, but here's my guess,
She was starving for caress.
Dreams are signs of a clear need
We can't meet until we're freed
From the limits of our life,
Which create internal strife.
Fancy is a relief-
And escape, even though brief.
When your love you cannot find,
You can seek him in your mind.
130. THE MYSTERY OF HIS MERCY
THE MYSTERY OF HIS MERCY

IS DEEPER THAN ANY SEA.
NO GREATER PUZZLE CAN BE FOUND
YET NO GRACE DOES MORE ABOUND.
WE SEE IT IN SALVATIO NS PLAN

OFFERED FREE TO EVERY MAN.
WE SEE IT IN THE SAVIOUR'S FACE
WHEN HE SUFFERED IN OUR PLACE.
CHORUS
MERCY IN THE MIDST OF MISERY
THIS IS LIFE'S GREAT MYSTERY.
WHY DID MY SAVIOUR DIE FOR ME
GIVING ME ETERNITY.
II
WE SEE IT IN FATH ER'S LOVE
SENDING HIS SON FROM ABOVE.
WE SEE IT IN THE WORD OF GOD
AS THROUGH EVERY DAY WE TROD.
WE SEE THE PRODIGAL RETURN
YET NO WHIP HIS BACK DOES BURN.
THE FATH ER IN STEAD GIVES A KISS
WHO DESERVES M ERC Y LIK E TH IS.
III
THE WOM AN TAK EN IN CLEAR SIN
GUILTY, FILLED WITH FEAR WITHIN.
HE SAID, THIS JUDGE SHE STOOD BEFORE
GO YOUR WAY AND SIN NO M ORE.
NO MATTER WHAT THE SIN WE DO

WE HIS MERCY CAN PURSUE.
WE CAN APPRO ACH HIS M ERCY SEAT
AND OUR ENEM Y DEFEAT.
IV
MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING
EACH DAY NEEDS NEW ADORNING.
HIS COM PASSIONS WILL NEVER FAIL
BUT BE REGULAR AS M AIL.
THE MERCY THAT GOD GAVE TO US

IN HIS SO N TH E LO RD JESUS.
IS FAR BEYOND ALL WORDS TO TELL
REACHING TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL.
131. THE RAPTURE

133. TWO MEN WALKED ALONG IN SORROW Based on Luke 24:13-35
1.
Two men walked along in sorrow;
Jesus walked right by their side.
They felt there was no tomorrow;
Life had robbed them of their guide.
They were blinded to His presence,

And they could not recognize
He in His loving providence
Chose them for a great surprise.
2.
Everything had gone so sour;
Their redeemer now was dead.
They had hoped He had the power,
But it seems they were misled.
Their hope had been so shattered

When their Lord was crucified.
Everything that to them mattered
Was now like a river dried.
3.
Even with the women's vision
Of the angel at the tomb,
There was in their minds, division,
And for faith so little room.
Their Lord's body now was missing,

Mystery was everywhere,
And their minds were still dismissing
Facts that could lift from despair.
4.
"O how foolish," said the M aster,
"You slow of heart to believe.
If you trusted God's forecaster,
You would then not have to grieve."
Jesus explained all the prophets

Had once said concerning Him.
Searching Scripture brings such pro fits
When our faith is growing dim.
5.
The day was nearly over,
And they urged their Lord to stay.
There was so much more to cover,
For doubt to be turned away.
Jesus sat at their table,

And with thanks He broke the bread.
In that moment they were able
To see their Lord was not dead.
6.
On the dark road to Emmaus,
On that first great Easter day
They saw light from the Lord Jesus
That would never pass away.
Jesus may be like a stranger,

Yet be with you, as He said.
We can face life's greatest danger,
For He's risen from the dead.
134. TWO PRAISE CHORUSES
I’ll praise my Savior

From dawn to sunset.
I’ll sing His praises
Both day and night.
I’ll lift His name up

Above the heavens,
And shout His glory
With all my might.
It is wonderful Lord Jesus
To in adoration stand,
And pray God who ever sees us,
Will let our wonder expand.
M ay the wonder of your glory

Never cease in us to shine.
Let your ever wondrous story
Be on every tongue plus mine.
135. UP IN HEAVEN THERE'S NO TEMPLE BASED ON REV. 21:22-23

SUNG TO COM E THOU FO UNT.
UP IN HEAVEN THERE'S NO TEM PLE

IN WHICH TO PRAISE GOD ABOVE.
FOR GOD TH ERE WILL MAKE IT SIMPLE
TO EXPRESS TO HIM O UR LOVE.
THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO TO PRAISE H IM

FOR HE'S PRESENT EVERYWHERE.
NO WHERE IS H IS LIGHT EVER DIM ;
WHERE YOU ARE, YOUR LORD IS THERE.
II
THIS IS ALSO TRUE IN THIS LIFE,
IF WE ONLY SEE THE LIGHT.
EVEN IN THIS WORLD WITH IT'S STRIFE
WE NEED NEVER FEAR THE NIGHT.
GOD IS PRESENT WITH US ALWAYS,

IT MATTERS NOT WHERE WE ARE.
IN GREAT ROOM S OR IN THE HALL WAYS
HE'S OUR EVER SHINING STAR.
III
UP IN HEAVEN THERE'S NO SUN LIGHT,
AND THE M OON WILL NEVER SHINE.
YET HEAVEN WILL EVER BE BRIGHT
WITH GLORY THAT IS DIVINE.
GOD ALM IGHTY AND THE LAM BS LAM P

IN THERE ENDLESS SPLENDOR SHINE.
EVER YTHING THERE GLO RY WILL STAM P
WITH A BRILLIANT DESIGN.
IV
THANK YO U FATHER FOR YOU R PRESENCE;
HELP US SENSE IT HERE BELOW.
HEAVEN IN THIS LIFE CAN COMM ENCE
IF WE PRACTICE WHAT WE KNO W.
YO U ARE EVER PRESENT WITH US;

YOU NEVER LEAVE US ALONE.
LET US FEEL YOUR PRESENCE JESUS
TILL WE SEE YOU O N YOU R THRO NE.
136. WATER FROM THE FOUNTAIN FLOWING
Water from the fountain flowing

God's pure grace is ever showing.
Water from the rain drops falling
To new growth are ever calling.
Water from the lakes and rivers

Are to us such constant givers.
Water from the deep dark ocean
Are this earth's life-giving potion.
But the water of the Spirit

Will produce peace over all strife.
There's no other water near it,
For it is the water of life.
137. WE ARE THANKFUL IN THIS PLACE
This is building on the song You are awesome in this place.

The first lines are that song on which it builds.
"You are awesome in this place

M ighty God.
You are awesome in this place
Abba Father.
You are worthy of all praise,
To you our lives we raise.
You are awesome in this place
M ighty God."
We are thankful in this place

M ighty God.
Abba Father.
We are held in your embrace,
And grateful for your grace.
M ighty God.
Jesus is the Lord of Life,

Praise His name.
Jesus is the Lord of All
Hallelujah.
We will sing and praise His name,
Forever He's the same.
Jesus is the Lord of Life,
Praise His name.
138. WE CAN NEVER HOPE TOO M UCH
WE CAN NEVER HOPE TO MUCH

THAT GOD'S HAND OUR LIVES WILL TOUCH.
JOINED TO FAITH AND LOVE AND SUCH
HOPE IS MORE THAN JUST A CRUTCH.
IT'S THE GROUND ON WHICH WE STAND

BY IT WE DESPAIR WITHSTAND.
HOPE MAKES THE FUTURE SO GRAND
FOR WE KNOW IT'S IN GOD'S HAND.,
CHORUS
HELP M E EVERYDAY TO HOPE

TO LOOK UP AND NOT TO M OPE.
SEEING WITH A BROADER SCOPE
KNOWING IN CHRIST I CAN COPE.
II
THANK YOU GO D FO R HOPE IN CH RIST
SUCH A GIFT CANNOT BE PRICED.
BY IT ALL OF LIFE IS SPICED
FOR IT, CHRIST WAS SACRIFICED.
LOVE ONLY IS GR EATER THAN

THIS TREASURE GOD GAVE TO MAN.
EVER SINCE TH E WO RLD BEGAN
HOPE IS BASIC TO GOD'S PLAN.
CHORUS
III
HOPE WILL NEVER LET US DO WN
EVEN WHEN ON SHAKING GROUND.
HOPE WILL MAKE OUR FAITH ABOUND
IN IT ALL OUR JOY IS FOUND.
IN GREAT HOPE WE CAN ABIDE

KNOWING CHR IST WILL EVER GUIDE.
NOTHING WILL HIS LOVE DIVIDE
FOR ALL IN HIS CHO SEN BRIDE.
CHORUS
139. WE CANNOT SEE THE FATHER
We cannot see God the Father;

The Holy Spirit leaves no trace.
These facts our faith need not bother,
For in Jesus God has a face.
God has a face that we can see
In both time and eternity.
He joined the human race just so
His heavenly Father we could know.
The eyes of man are so finite
There's much of God in shades so dim,
But Jesus came to give the light
That we might get a glimpse of Him
Yo u cannot see and live to tell
If God's glory comes your way,
But Jesus came and bore our hell
And by it tore the veil away.
He let the light of heaven shine
On this dark world of sin and shame.
He took away your sin and mine,
To show love was his aim.
He came to show to our blind eyes
What can be found no other place.
He made it clear as sunny skies,
That God has a loving face.
If we in his light will run.
God has a place and we can find it
If we say "Thy will be done."
God has a grace and we can feel it
If all evil ways we shun.
God has a space and we can fill it
If we make Him number one.
In the person of His Son.
140. WE COME BEFORE YOUR LORD
O NOW WE COME BEFORE YOUR LORD

AND UP TO YOU WE RAISE.
A JOYFUL SONG IN ONE ACCORD
A PURE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.
ACCEPT OUR OFFERING GRACIOUS LORD

OUR VOICES NOW OUT POUR.
LET ANGELS ROUND YOUR THRONE RECORD
HOW YO UR NAM E WE DO ADORE.
WE GIVE THEE FROM OUR BLESSINGS LORD

WITH THANKFUL HEARTS WE SHARE.
FOR BY YOUR GRACE WE CAN AFFORD
TO BE CHANNELS OF THY CARE.

142. WHAT COLOR IS HEAVEN

SUNG TO WALTHAM, I HEARD THE BELLS ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
I.
WHAT CO LOR IS HEAVEN YOU ASK
TO ANSWERS A COMPLEXING TASK.
THE REASON IS SIMPLY QUITE PLAIN
IT WILL EVERY COLOR CONTAIN.

THE MOST COLORFUL PLACE BY FAR,

HEAVEN IS THE COLOR YOU ARE.
143. WITH OU T LO VE
1.
Without love
I'm a bird that hasn't any wings.
Without love
I'm a song that no one ev er sings.
But with love

I'm like a bird that's ever winging.
But with love
I'm a song you can't stop singing.
2
Without love
I'm a flower that never will bloom.
Without love
I'm as barren as an empty room.
But with love

I'm like a flower ever blooming.
But with love
I'm like one lovely with God's grooming.
3
Without love
I'm a sun that will not ever shine.
Without love
Everything I have is only mine.
But with love

I'm like a sun shining everywhere.
But with love
Everything I have I want to share.
4.
Without love
I'm as fruitless as a dying tree.
Without love
I'm as lifeless as is the dead sea.
But with love

I'm filled with fruitful emotion.
But with love
I'm like a life-filled thriving ocean.
144. WORRY WORT BASED ON M ATT.6:25-34
I
WORRY, WORRY, WORRY

II
BIRDS DON'T SEEM TO WORRY

THEY FLY WITHOUT FLURRY
WITH FAITH THAT GOD IS REAL.
THEY KNOW HE IS CARING

AND WILL PRO VIDE THEIR NEEDS.
YOU WON'T HEAR THEM BLARING
WE DO N'T HAVE ENO UGH SEEDS.
III
THE LILIES OF THE FIELD
THEY LABOR NOT NOR SPIN.
BUT BEAUTY THEY DO YIELD
AND CONTESTS THEY DO WIN.
EVEN KING SOLOMON

COULD NO T WITH THEM COM PETE
NO WHERE UNDER THE SUN
IS SPLENDOR SO COM PLETE.
IV
SO LET PAGANS WORRY
WHO ONLY LIVE FOR TH INGS.
LET THEM RUN AND HURRY
TO GET WHAT WORRY BR INGS.
TOMORROW IS NOT NOW

FOCUS JUST ON TODAY.
TO PRESSURE DO NOT BOW
DO NOT BE LED ASTRAY.
145. YES, YES, YES, M Y JESUS IS YES

This song was motivated by the words of Paul in IICor.1:18-19. "But as surely as God is
faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No." For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who
was preached among you by me and Silas and timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him
it has always been Yes. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in
Christ."
IT'S A WO RLD O F CAN'T

AND THEY THRIVE ON WON'T.

HE NEVER IS NO.
HIS GO AL IS TO BLESS

THAT IS WHY ALL OUR PRAISE, TO HIM WE ADD RESS.

AND A WORLD O F NOT.
IT'S READY TO BLOW
IT'S GOING TO POT.
BUT JESUS IS YES

A POSITIVE NOTE.
IF HIM WE CO NFESS
HE'LL KEEP US AFLOAT.
CHORUS
III
IT'S A WORLD O F WAR
AND A WORLD O F NIGHT.
WHAT'S GOOD, MEN ABHOR
THEY RESIST WHAT'S RIGHT.
BUT JESUS IS YES

HE OFFERS US LIGHT.
IN TH E M IST OF STRESS
HIS BURDEN IS LITE.
CHORUS
IV
IT'S A WORLD O F HATE
AND A WORLD O F CRIME.
THERE IS NO DEBATE
IT'S NEAR END OF TIME.
BUT JESUS IS YES

IN TIMES OF GREAT STRIFE.
HIS GIFT IS NO LESS
THAN ETERNAL LIFE.
CHORUS
V.
IT'S A NO NO WORLD
AND IT'S FILLED WITH DOUBT.
M EN ARE TOSSED AND HU RLED
AND JUST THROWN ABOUT.
BUT JESUS IS YES

HE'S THE ONLY WAY.
IF FAITH YOU'LL PR OFESS
HE'LL SAVE YOU TODAY.
CHORUS
VI.
IT'S A WORLD OF DARK
WHERE NEGATIVES THRIVE.

IT'S HARD TO SURVIVE.
BUT JESUS IS YES

A RAY OF SUNSHINE.
THE WAY TO SUCCESS

And for gifts you’re ever sending.
