It was a great Thing

Verse 1:
The LORD has brought me thru’ all my sorrows
When I failed HIM, he didn’t cast me away
HE stood right by me thru’ all my troubles
When I was gone HE didn’t let me go astray
He took my sins and saved my soul
He cleaned me up and made me whole
Jesus died on Calvary, so the whole wide world would see
It was a great thing, that He did for me

Chorus: It was a great thing, that He did for me
It was a great thing, when He set me free
Jesus died on Calvary so the whole wide world would see
It was a great thing, that He did for me
Verse 2
He’s been my Doctor, He’s been my Lawyer
My God’s been good to me, He’s been my Friend
He’s my Comforter when I was lonely
When I was going astray He took me in
He took my sins and saved my soul
He cleaned me up and made me whole
Jesus died on Calvary so the whole wide world would see
It was a great thing that He did for me

Chorus: It was a great thing, that He did for me
It was a great thing, when He set me free

I Wonder If You Know

Verse 1:
I wonder if he knew, when he sailed away from Troas
This trip of his would someday change the world,
I wonder if he knew that one day he’d be known as
The apostle who left it all to serve the Lord,
I wonder if Paul knew, with every shipwreck and each trial
As he wrote the details down for all to see,
Every sacred line would become the Holy Bible
Be passed on down till it found it’s way to me.

Chorus: I wonder if he knew how important he was
To fulfill the Father’s plan, To get the gospel to us
And I wonder if he knew, There’d be millions that would follow
If he would just preach to the few, I wonder if he knew

Verse 2:
I wonder if you know when you rose up from your pillow
The Father knew the lives you’d touch today,
I wonder if you know through eyes filled with sorrow
Their watching you though they don’t know your name,
I wonder if you know the footprints you are leaving
May be the steps they’ll follow to the thrown,
And just behind their smile, there’s a broken heart that’s grieving
In search of lasting peace to call their own.

Chorus: I wonder if you know how important you are
To fulfill the Father’s plan to get the gospel to all
And I wonder if you know, they’ll be many that will follow
If you will just share as you go; I wonder if you know
Jesus waits in Heaven looking to the earth below
There’s something he is saying, something he wants you to know To know…

He says… I want you to know how important you are
To fulfill the Father’s plan to get the gospel to all
And I want you to know they’ll be many that will follow
If you will just share as you go
I want you to know, I want you to know
Jesus wants you to know

Call Me Gone

Verse 1:
Call me a dreamer, cause I call it mine; Heaven, but I don’t care.
And call me crazy cause I’m homesick for it yet I have never been there
Call me a stranger Cause that’s all I am, I know I don’t belong
Call me anything but when He calls me, Call me gone

Chorus: Call me gone, I’ll be leavin’
Call me gone, you’ll be greavin’
If you’re left here without Jesus to call on
Call me gone, no more heartache
Call me gone, and all that it takes
Is for me to hear Him call me then call me gone

Verse 2: (spoken)
You know I’ve been called an awful lot of things in my lifetime
And to be honest smart wasn’t always one of them
But thank God I was smart enough one day to call Jesus Christ the Lord of my life
And it was then I called it quits to a whole lot of sinnin’
But it’s because of that commitment that a lot of people laugh at me and call me foolish
Aw.. but let em’ go ahead and laugh…
That don’t bother me at all, cause any fool can see,
by the shape she’s in that this ole’ worlds gonna fall,
But just as long as I know Jesus, I’ve got nothing to fear
And when the roll is called up yonder,
Don’t you call on me cause I ain’t gonna be here!

Death Where Is Thy Sting

Verse 1:
Billy just turned forty, three kids and a wife
When death came callin’, requirin’ his life
He said wait a minute I’m not ready for you
I’ve got so many plans and so much to do

Verse 2:
Death said it’s over, your appointments been made
As he took him by the hand leading him to the grave
And all that he lived for was only amidst descending into hell’s fiery grave
As he walked deaths valley, so alone, he remembered the words of the 23rd Psalm
Those precious words that he almost believed, almost persuaded, but he never received

Verse 3:
She was passed ninety, when they laid her in a tomb
She wasn’t surprised the day death walked in her room
She said I have been ready since Jesus set me free
And I guess my mansions ready and that’s why you’re here for me

Verse 4:
And as loved ones gathered round her to sing Amazing Grace
They wondered what she could see from the smile that was on her face
For she heard a voice like thunder, as death turned around to see
He heard leave her alone now, for she belongs to me

Chorus: And on angel’s wings, she flew away
From the cares of this life, death, hell and the grave
Death thought he had her, but he couldn’t hold on
Because who held her other hand was way to strong
In the presence of the Lord, she could hear the angels sing
Oh Grave, where is thy victory? Oh Death where is thy sting?

I Never Shall Forget The Day

Chorus: I never shall (I never shall) forget the day (forget the day)
When all the burdens from my soul were rolled away
It made me happy glad and free (it made me happy glad and free)
I’ll sing and shout it for he’s everything to me

Verse 1:
Long years ago when out in sin, I had no hope didn’t have any peace within
Down on my knees, in agony, I cried to Jesus and he gladly set me free

Verse 2:
Oh Sinner, come to Jesus now, at his dear feet, you gotta humbly bow
Confess to him your every sin, he’ll save and cleanse you, give you peace and joy within

Precious Jesus

Verse 1:
Who is refreshing as an ocean in the desert
As lovely as a flower in the snow
And who is as watchful as an eagle o’er her young ones
As gentle as the summer breeze that blows

Chorus: Precious Jesus; Sweet Rose of Sharon
There’s peace and triumph when you speak His name
Loving Savior; He’s my sunshine in the midnight
He’s my guiding star that shining all the day

Verse 2:
Who is the One who always understands my burdens
But when He smiles and hums a happy melody
A liberated soul can’t sing about being bound for long
Without looking back and realizing he set free

Chorus: Precious Jesus; Sweet Rose of Sharon
There’s peace and triumph when you speak His name
Loving Savior; He’s my sunshine in the midnight
He’s my guiding star that shining all the day

Repeat Chorus

I Touched Jesus
Verse 1:
She was tired and wretched with pain all she knew was His name
Could it be He would pass this way today?
“How would she know Him” was her cry, in her strength could not rely
Yet something urged her soul to reach for Him that day
In an instant life was new. All she believed of Him was true
When He felt power released Jesus turned to say
Someone’s touched me tell me who? In this crowd how could we view?
Then she fell trembling down before His feet to say

Chorus: I just touched Jesus, I touched the Lord
I found peace and joy I could not afford
For it was me I touched the hem of His garment today
By His grace I am healed, I will never be the same (never be the same)
I touched Jesus, I touched the Lord

Verse 2:
Now while the silent crowd laid wait to hear just what He would say
How could she touch Him? They asked in their dismay
But His feelings then made known, Go in peace you’re now made whole?
How her heart rejoiced as she told along the way

Bridge: Touching Jesus is all that really matters
Then your life will never be the same

Tag: It was me I touched the hem of His garment today
By His grace I am healed I will never be the same (never be the same)
I touched Jesus
I touched Jesus
I touched Jesus
I touched the Lord; THE LORD

So Much To Thank Him For

When I look around and see all the good things He’s done for me
I know I’m unworthy of them all
For His blessings He freely gives, I owe my life to Him
I’ve got so much to thank Him for

You see, He has been so good to me
And when I think of what He’s done, and where He’s brought me from I’ve got so much to thank Him for

“Thank you” for all He’s done for me
And when I reach sweet Heaven’s shore only just let me kneel once more

If You Knew Him

Verse 1:
I walked by the tomb of Buddha looked inside and saw his bones
Traveled on to see Muhammad, still wrapped up in his grave clothes
But then I journeyed to a garden, where old Joseph left him lay,
The precious Lamb, God’s own begotten, He was no longer in that grave

Chorus: If you knew him, like I know him
You would know that he’s alive
If you felt him, like I feel him
Resurrection deep inside, you’d know he’s living, and death has died

Verse 2:
If you’re wandering in the darkness, come and step into the light
Nail scarred hands reach out to help you, to pull you safe from death to life
Friend, I too, have stood where you stand, could I trust in things unseen
But just one step in his direction than in love he ran to me

Chorus: If you knew him, like I know him
You would know that he’s alive
If you felt him, like I feel him

Nothing But the Blood (Still Saves The Lost)

Verse 1:
The church seems awfully different from when I was a boy
The songs we sing are not the same as they were before
The hymnals we used long ago it seems they’ve disappeared
But sometimes I find myself longing just to hear:

Chorus: At the Cross, At the Cross where I first saw the light
and the burdens of my heart rolled away

Verse 2:
Now these new songs talk of Heaven, worship, and God’s love
But there’s nothing sweeter to my ears than that fountain filled with blood
I guess I’m just old fashioned like those songs of old
But there are times I make it through the day holding to this hope:

Chorus: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone

Verse 3:
Tis so sweet, to trust in Jesus, Near the Cross, Amazing Grace
How I love to tell the story, Because He lives, Jesus saves
Pass me not, draw me nearer to the old rugged cross
These hymns simply remind us nothing but the blood still saves the lost

Bridge: Oh precious is the flow that makes me white as snow
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord to thy precious bleeding side
Oh the blood of Jesus, Oh the blood of Jesus, Oh the blood of Jesus

Tag: Nothing but the blood still saves the lost
Nothing but the blood still saves the lost

His Tomb Is Empty Now
Verse 1:

They laid my Lord in Joseph’s tomb It was sealed with guards all about.

His tomb is empty now.

Go tell the world He is not here; He is risen just like he said!”

Praying Man

Verse 1:
Once there was a king that thought he got it right
Daniel wouldn’t last until the morning light
They led him to the dungeon and they threw him in
He was on his way to supper and the meal was him
But God knew how to change their dinner plans
Never throw a hungry lion in the den with a praying man

Chorus: So pray Daniel Pray, that’s the way you make through
Come on pray Daniel pray, don’t you let the devil get the best of you
Your troubles aren’t as bad as you thought they were
You can tame a lion, let your prayers be heard
Your faith is going to have them eating right out of your hands
Never throw a hungry lion in the den with a praying man

Verse 2:
When you hear their stomachs growling do what Daniel did
Call up to your Father like a little kid
Tell Him that they are big and you just heard them roar (oooooooh)
Then get up and use your faith to block the door
When the fur starts flying they will understand (when the fur starts flyin)
Never throw a hungry lion in the den with a prayin’ man

Repeat Chorus

Tag: Never throw a hungry lion in a den with a prayin’ man

The Shepherds Point of View

Verse 1:
You are standing on the mountain holding to the Shepherd’s hand,
The valley you just came through was hard to understand.
Then the Shepherd draws you closer, there’s something He wants you to see,
And He points back to the valley and unfolds its mysteries.

Verse 2:
As the eagles soar around you and you look back on where you’ve been
One by one He answers questions that He did not answer then.
He now shows you the danger, of going your own way,
All the roads you thought were better, would have led your soul astray.

Verse 3:
He reminds you of that moment, when you could not make it through,
Now you see one set of footprints, where He reached down and carried you.
As your tears fall on His shoulder, and you thank Him for His love,
He says “Child, I knew that one day, you’d see the valley from above.”

Chorus: Things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd’s point of view.
Standing high above the trial, that He brought you safely through.
All the valley’s disappointments will never look the same to you,
For things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd’s point of view

Tag: All the valley’s disappointments will never look the same to you,
For things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd’s point of view

I Have Been Blessed

Verse 1:
When He walks among us all that he does
All of his mercy and all of his love
If the pen of the writer could write everyday
Even his words could never contain
Just how I’ve been blessed

Verse 2
Warmth in the winter; flowers in spring
Laughter of summer; changing of leaves
Food on my table; a good place to sleep
Clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
Oh I have been blessed

Chorus: Oh I have been blessed; Gods so good to me
Precious are his thoughts of you and me
No way I could count them, there’s not enough time
So I’ll just thank him for being so kind
God has been good, so good, I have been blessed

Verse 3:
Arms that will raise and a voice that can talk
Hands that can touch and legs that can walk
Ears that can listen and eyes that can see
Oh I’ve got to praise him as long as I breathe cause I have been blessed

Verse 4:
A father and mother who nurtured and raised
My sisters and me, and the memories made
Our pastor to lead us; this alter to pray
Stripes that can heal and the blood that can save
Oh I have been blessed

Verse 5:
We live in a country the greatest on earth
Our flag stands for freedom and what it is worth
She stands in the harbor Miss Liberty calls
All have gave some but some have gave all
For me to be blessed

Verse 6:
He’s my shoulder to lean on when I am so down
The Rock where he leads me when Im so overwhelmed
The Place where he hides me under his wings
He’s not just a song but he’s the reason I sing
Oh I have been blessed

Tag: God has been good so good
I have been blessed
