Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now, I seeAmazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now, I see

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
And how precious did that Grace appear
At the hour when I first believed

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I have found
Was blind but now, now I see

When we've been here ten, ten thousand years
Bright shining, bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing our God's praise
Then when we've first begun

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now, I see

I was blind but now, I see

Precious Lord, Take My Hand

When my way groweth drear, precious Lord, linger near
When my life, 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

Precious Lord, won't you take my hand, lead me on, let me stand
'Cause I am tired and I am weak and I am worn
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home, lead me home

When the shadows, they appear and the night draweth near
And the day, when my day is past and gone
Oh, at the river I stand, would You guide my feet and please hold my hand
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand
'Cause I am tired and I am weak and I am worn, yes I'm worn
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home, lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak and I am worn, yes I'm worn
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home, lead me home
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home

Lead me home, lead me home
Lead me home, lead me home
Lead me home, lead me home
Lead me home

In the Garden

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.

And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known...

Softly and Tenderly

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
See, on the portals, He's waiting and watching;
Watching for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

O for the wonderful love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me.
Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon;
Pardon for you and for me.

Come home, come home,
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

Abide With Me

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide:
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide:
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

I need thy presence every passing hour,
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless,
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies,
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee,
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

I Saw the Light

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my Dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord I saw the light

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord - I saw the light

I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light

7

Just a Closer Walk With Thee

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be

I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk let me walk close to Thee

In this world of toil and snares
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who but Thee my burden shares?
None but Thee, oh Lord, none but Thee

When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be more no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore to Thy shore

When my weary life is o'er
Pain and suff'ring are no more
Who will lead me safely o'er
Canaan's shore
That sweet Canaan's shore

Just a Little Talk With Jesus

I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul
It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole

Refrain:
Now let us have a little talk with Jesus
Let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
He will answer by and by
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
And you know a little fire is burning
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Sometimes my path seems dreary without a ray of cheer
And then the cloud about me hides the light of day
The mists in me rise and hide the stormy skies
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way

Refrain
I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears
But jesus is a freind who watches day and and night
I go to Him in prayer, He knows my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Refrain
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right
Makes everything right

Swing Down Chariot

Chorus:

Oh, swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

Swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Verse 1]
Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel working on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

[Chorus]

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, well, well
Ezekiel went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumping on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumping of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stopping till I shake his hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side

[Chorus

Nothing But the Blood

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh, precious is that flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus...

I'll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,

I'll fly away;

To a home on God's celestial shore,

I'll fly away

I'll fly away, fly away, Oh Glory

I'll fly away (in the morning)

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,

I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have gone,

I'll fly away;

Like a bird from prison bars has flown,

I'll fly away

I'll fly away, Oh Glory

I'll fly away (in the morning)

When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,

I'll fly away

Oh. How glad and happy when we meet

No more cold iron shackles on my feet

I'll fly away, fly away Oh Glory

I'll fly away (in the morning)

When I die Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away.

Just a few more weary days and then,

I'll fly away;

To a land where joy shall never end,

I'll fly away

12

How Great Thou Art

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the sun, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow with humble adoration,
And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

13

Somebody Was Prayin' For Me

Well the path to destruction's like an interstate highway
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me)
And like so many people I took it for my way
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me]
Well it's wide and it's smooth and it's easy to travel
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me)
And then all of a sudden my life came unraveled
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me)

Somebody (somebody) somewhere (somewhere)
Somebody held me up in prayer
Cause I was so far down I had to reach up to touch the ground
Jesus said if you believe (if you believe) just ask and you shall receive
(Somebody was down on their knees somebody was prayin' for me)
Prayin' for me
(Somebody was down on their knees somebody was prayin' for me)

I was on the wrong track like a runaway freight train
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me)
I was a rocking and a rolling my way down the fast lane
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me)
Any port in a storm any pleasure that pleases
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me)
I ran into a brick wall and his name was Jesus
(Somebody somewhere was prayin' for me)

Somebody (somebody) somewhere (somewhere)
Somebody must have really cared
I was lost and I was so alone that I couldn't find my way back home
I was standin' on the sinkin' sand (sinkin' sand)
Then he reached down his merciful hand
(Somebody was down on their knees somebody was prayin' for me)

Somebody (somebody) somewhere (somewhere)...

14

They Tell Me of a Home

O they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
O they tell me of a home far away
And they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
O they tell me of an unclouded day

Chorus:
O the land of cloudless day
O the land of an unclouded sky
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
O they tell me of an unclouded day

O they tell me of a home where my friends have gone
O they tell me of that land far away
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance to the unclouded day

Repeat Chorus

O they tell me that He smiles on His children there
And His smile drives their sorrows away
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of unclouded day

Repeat Chorus (x2)

O they tell me of an unclouded day

15

Are You Washed in the Blood

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Lay aside your garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb.
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean.
O, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

16

The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
An emblem of sufferin' and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a word of lost sinners were slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

17

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything 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 every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

18

Blessed Assurance

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine

Heir of salvation, purchase of God

Born of His spirit, washed in His blood

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long

Perfect submission, perfect delight

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight

Angels descending bring from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long

This is my story, this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long

19

Peace in the Valley

Oh well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the Lord comes and calls
Calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black
As the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I'll be changed
Changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

20

In the Sweet By and By

There's a land that is fairer than day,

And by faith we can see it afar;

For the Father waits over the way

To prepare us a dwelling place there.

In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore;

In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

We shall sing on that beautiful shore

The melodious songs of the blessed;

And our spirits shall sorrow no more,

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

To our bountiful Father above,

We will offer our tribute of praise

For the glorious gift of His love

And the blessings that hallow our days.

21

I am Thine O Lord

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith,

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the pow’r of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.

O the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I yet may know

Ere Thee face to face I see;

There are heights of joy that I yet may reach

Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

22

Come Unto Me

Are you looking for someone to be faithful
With your broken heart your shattered dreams
And are you searching for someone who'll be faithful
To you no matter what life brings
Well i know the maker of the storm the sunrise
He is both the lion and the lamb
He is strong enough to shake all earth and heaven
Yet meek enough to take me as I am.

He says come unto to me
All who are weary
And I will give you rest
Bring what hurts
Bring your scars
Bring the load that you carry
And I will give you rest

Are the clouds above your head oh so heavy
Bursting with showers of despair
And do you struggle under more then you can carry
Has life given more then you can bare
And would you like to trade your failures in for victories
Like piles of ashes in from piles of gold
And can you fall down like a child who is helpless
So he can pick you up and make you whole

He says come unto to me
All who are weary
And I will give you rest
Bring what hurts
Bring your scars
Bring the load that you carry
And I will give you rest

23

Kneel at the Cross

Kneel at the cross
Christ will meet you there
Come while He waits for you
List to His voice
leave with Him your cares
And begin life anew...

Kneel (at the cross) at the cross (kneel at the cross)
Leave (every care) every care (leave every care)
Kneel (at the cross) at the cross (kneel at the cross)...
Jesus will meet you there

Kneel at the cross
there is room for all
Who would His glory share
Bliss there awaits
harm can ne'er befall
Those who are anchored there...

Kneel at the cross
give your idols up
Look unto realms above
Turn not away
to life's sparkling cup
Trust only in His love...

24

Life's Railway to Heaven

Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave

Watch for curves and hills and valleys
Never falter, never fail
And keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Until we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide

And there you'll meet the Superintendent
God the Father, God the Son
With the hearty joyous greeting
'Weary pilgrim, welcome home'

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Until we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Until we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

So turn it on, turn it up
And sing along

25

There is Power in the Blood

Would you be free from your burden of sin?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood
Would you o'er evil the victory win?
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 its life-giving flow
There's wonderful power in the blood

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 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

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

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

Lord, how we need Your power
Every day and every hour
Lord, how we need Your power
Every day and every hour

Lord, how we need Your power
Every day and every hour
Lord, how we need Your

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

In the precious blood of the Lamb
In the precious blood of the Lamb
