Lyrics to our project, Standing On The Word

Standing On The Word

Sandy Blythe/Blythe Music Group/BMI

 

Verse 1

In precious, holy pages – God’s Word is written down

He gave me a promise - I’m standing on right now

Sometimes I get so weary – I’ve waited for so long

Then I remind myself – just what I’m standing on

 

 

Verse 2.

It stood throughout the ages – when everything else failed

Each promise has been proven – I’ve tried it for myself

So when your faith is shaken – and the devil says give in

You’ve got to stand your ground – and tell him once again

 

Chorus

I’m standing on the Word – you cannot 

make me doubt it

God gave me a promise – I’ve wrapped my faith around it

I know He’s more than able – for He’s the God I serve 

He said it, I believe it – and I’m standing on the Word

 

Chorus

 Oh Yes, I’m standing on the Word – you cannot 

make me doubt it

God gave me a promise – I’ve wrapped my faith around it

I know He’s more than able – for He’s the God I serve 

He said it, I believe it – and I’m standing on the Word

He’s Still The Healer

V1.
Stripped of His garments – in shame and agony
Our Lord took the stripes – on His back for you and me
His body bruised and bleeding – He knew there’d come a day
That we could claim our healing – thru the power his name

Chorus:
He’s still the Healer – His blood is still the same
It flowed down from Calvary – and it still flows today
Your need may be great – but His power is greater
Jesus our Saviour – He’s still the Healer

V2.
You’re crying out for healing – but you just don’t understand
Why God hasn’t answered – though you’ve prayed again and again
But faith goes beyond – what our human eyes can see
In spite of all your questions – you can still believe

Oh What A Change

V1
If you knew me before He found me
If you could see just who I was
You’d know that I’m a new creation
Praise God I’m covered by the blood

Chorus:
Oh what a change (what a change) when He washed my sins away
What a change (what a change) when He saved me by His grace
I was lost and bound for hell oh but anyone can tell
That I’m saved and all is well oh what a change

V2.
There’s no way I can describe it
This kind of feeling never grows old
He made a change way down inside me
And it is better felt than told

My Lord And I

V1

My Lord will never forsake me, never let sin overtake me,

My Lord is such a wonderful friend.

He will always be near me, ever listening to hear me,

My Lord is such a wonderful friend.

Chorus

Oh Yes He is my friend and He will be til the end,

He will never leave me all alone,

And when I’m nearing that river, that leads to that sweet forever,

My Lord and I, will walk hand in hand.

V2

When Ole Satan confounds, God’s love will surely surround,

My Lord is such a wonderful friend.

He will never forsake me, never let sin overtake me

My Lord is such a wonderful friend.

 

I’ll Thank You For The Grace

 

Vs1

There are many days that I have prayed, through my trials here. Waiting for an answer, hoping through my tears. And in my disappointment Lord I could not see your face, I couldn’t thank you for the answer, so I’ll thank you for the Grace

Ch

I’ll thank you for the Grace you give, just to go another mile

I’ll thank you for the peace I feel as I face this bitter trial

And though this valley seems so long, that I’ll never leave this place

When I can’t thank you for the answer, Lord I’ll thank you for the Grace

Vs2

Great depths of love we cannot know, while on the mountain tops. You see it’s in the struggles of our days, we learn to trust in God. And through all my many heartaches here as I run my earthly race, when I can’t thank you for the answer, I’ll thank you for the Grace

The Midnight Cry

Charles Robert Day, Greg Day Bridge Building Music/BMI

 

I hear the sound of a mighty rushing wind

And it's closer now than its ever been

I can almost hear the trumpet

As Gabriel sounds the call

At the midnight cry we'll be going home

 

When Jesus steps out

On a cloud  to call God's children the dead in

Christ shall rise to meet him

In the air

And then those that remain

Will be quickly changed

At the midnight cry (at the midnight cry)

When Jesus comes again

 

I look around me I see prophecies fulfilling

And signs of the times their appearing everywhere

I can almost hear the Father

As He says son go get my children

At the midnight cry

The bride of Christ shall rise

The Longer I Serve Him

Bill Gaither

 

V I

Since I started for the Kingdom,
Since my life He controls,
Since I gave my heart to Jesus,
The longer I serve Him,
The sweeter He grows.

 

Chorus:

The longer serve Him, the sweeter He grows,
The more that I love Him, more love He bestows;
Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows,
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.

Ev'ry need He is supplying,
Plenteous grace He bestows;
Ev'ry day my way gets brighter,
The longer I serve Him,
The sweeter He grows.

The longer serve Him, the sweeter He grows,
The more that I love Him, more love He bestows;
Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows,
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.

I'VE HEARD OF A LAND

© Harvey Gene Smith
Great RM Publishing DBA My Abby Publishing LLC / BMI

Verse 1
They ask me why I struggle along, when it seems all hope is gone They ask me why, in troubled times, I can still sing a victory song Let me tell you the reason why, though you may not understand I’m struggling along, singing a song, I've heard of a land

Chorus
I’ve heard of a land where there’s no more sorrow, no more trouble, heartache or strife Where there are no goodbyes, no one dies, and there never comes a night
I’m an heir to this country, a mansion for me, it’s being built by Jesus' own hands
And someday I'll live forever there, I've heard of a land

Verse 2
Since I became an heir to this country, I'm not contented here anymore
The troubles and strife that come in this life, they keep me longing for heaven’s fair shore But I'll not complain while traveling this way, for He holds my trembling hand
Oh, what a day, when I'm carried away, I've heard of a land

Tag
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land where my possessions lie I've heard of a land

He’s Coming Again

Sandy Blythe / Blythe Music Group / BMI

 

V1. One day upon a hillside our Lord was caught away
Suddenly two men in white appeared to them that day
They said, Go tell the message, declare it to all men
Get ready for the King is coming again

Chorus: He’s coming again (He’s coming again) just like He went away
He’s coming again (He’s coming again) saints will rise on that great day
He’s coming in clouds of glory with a shout just like He said
Get ready for I know He’s coming again

V2. Take courage weary pilgrim for soon we’re going home
We’ll lay down all these burdens that we’ve carried for so long
So keep your eyes upon the skies for we don’t know just when
But we know without a doubt He’s coming again

He Has

Wheeler Mark Earle/Wahoo Creek Publishing

 

I’ve not always been faithful, but He has 
I’ve not always been greatful, but He has
I’ve not always been true, but He’s always come through,
He has, yes He has

I tell Him I’m not strong, but He says I am,
And I say I can’t go on, but He says He can
Well I’ve not loved everyone, and I’ve not always overcome
But He has, yes He has

Chorus
Oh and He has, been the greatest friend that I have ever known
and He has, paid the debt on Calvary all alone,
Oh, and He has, given me a melody in song,
Oh, He has, yes, He has.

I can’t see what’s ahead, but He has,
Oh and I can’t conquer death, but He has
When, I’m tempted to sin, and I’ve failed the test again
But He passed, yes, He has.

We Shall Jesus

Wilkinson Dianne B/Homeward Bound Music

 

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Hoping to see Him, as thousands were fed
He touched the blind eyes, healed broken spirits
He moved with compassion, while He raised up the dead

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Watching as Jesus was crucified
No one showed mercy, to the one who had healed them
Yet, Jesus loved them, as He suffered and died

(key change)

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
For Jesus had risen and soon would ascend
Then, as He blessed them, He rose to the heavens
And gave them His promise to come back again

We shall see Jesus, just as they saw Him
There is no greater promise than this
When He returns in power and glory
We shall see Jesus, we shall see Jesus, just as He is!

 

 

I MADE IT BY GRACE 

Kyla Rowland / My Abby Publishing / BMI

 

Verse 1

I live each day in victory because of the One who lives in me
I’ve found every promise he ever made, Jesus will keep
Walked by my side in deserts dry; loved me and held me when I cried So let me sing you one more song in case I leave 

 

Chorus 

I know how I made it, I made it by grace
Steps that are slower now have taken each one by faith
Standing on Jordan’s stormy shores, I’ll lift my trembling voice once more I know how I made it, I made it by grace 

 

Verse 2

God’s children are leaving one by one, passing this way and going home Signs of the times reveal we don’t have very long
But each one who stands upon that shore waving goodbye as they rejoice Glory to God, we’ll leave here singing that same sweet song 

 

Consolation On Your Knees

Marcia Hughes

 

Verse 1

When life’s winds began to blow, seems there’s nowhere left to go,

I have a place, where I find refuge, from the storm,

My mind, goes back, to these words, my dear old Mama taught to me,

She’d say child you’ll find, consolation on your knees.

 

Verse 2

If there’s a need, in your life, in this old world of toil and strife,

Just talk, to the Master, like your Father, when as a child, he’d hear your plea,

You’ll find an ear, that’s always open, and a power beyond degree,

And there’ll, be comfort, and consolation on your knees.

 

Chorus

Whatever brings you, to your knees, is good for you,

It might be hard, to see right now, but Jesus knows, what’s best for you.

So, in prayer, you’ll find the answer, to the problems, you can’t solve,

If you’ll just place them, in the mighty, hands of God.

  • Beyond The Manger
    Words and Music by Rebecca J. Peck
    © Copyright Thomas Peck Music (BMI)


    Verse 1
    Sweet little child in Mary's arms,
    the precious babe of Bethlehem,
    sent to reveal the Father's heart,
    a love that we can't comprehend.
    So bittersweet, those first few hours,
    to see His tiny hands and feet,
    for they would feel sin's dreadful pow'r
    upon a hill called Calvary.

    Chorus
    Beyond the manger stood the cross,
    awaiting Him the awful cost,
    born to die and save the lost.
    Beyond the manger stood the cross.

    Verse 2
    The angels sang; the earth rejoiced.
    The shepherds knelt to see His face,
    but while they praised this baby boy,
    a shadow fell across the hay.
    Those rugged timbers brought Him down
    from Heaven's royal throne above
    to wear a lowly sinner's crown,
    to bear our shame, to shed His blood.

    Bridge
    How beautiful the moment
    when our Savior arrived,
    but so much greater is the wonder
    that He laid down His life.

    Last chorus & tag
    Beyond the manger stood the cross,
    awaiting Him the awful cost,
    born to die and save the lost.
    Beyond the manger, beyond the manger,
    beyond the manger stood the cross,
    the cross!

 

Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord

Atkinson Ricky Lee/Steele Jeffery Robert/Christian Taylor Music/Tony Gore Music/BMI

 

Verse I

As the sun rose that morning, on the day of Job’s trial,

He rose up to serve God, as any other day.

Bound and determined, to live in God’s favor,

Nothing, would stand in his way.

 

Verse II

But then the messengers, came one by one, with their stories,

In just a few moments, Job lost, all he had.

Great wealth and riches, the health of his body,

Even his children were dead.

 

Chorus:

The Lord giveth, He taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord,

I’ve served Him before and I’ll serve Him today, blessed be the name of the Lord.

 

Verse III

Then his wife came before him, to voice her opinion,

She said, you should end it, just curse God and die,

Job rose from the ashes, looked toward the heavens,

He brushed back, the tears in his eyes.

 

Chorus:

He said, the Lord giveth, He taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord,

I’ve served Him before and I’ll serve Him today, blessed be the name of the Lord.

 

Bridge:

When troubles come suddenly, blessed be the name,

When storm winds blow violently, blessed be the name,

When Satan comes oppressing me, blessed be the name,

I’ll still serve God faithly, blessed be the name,

 

Chorus:

The Lord giveth, He taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord,

I’ve served Him before and I’ll serve Him today, blessed be the name of the Lord.

His Cross

Sydney and Cathy Coble/2001

 

Verse 1

His cross was not the first cross, to stand on Calv’ry’s hill

His cross was not the last cross, where man’s blood by man was spilled.

 

Verse 2

Oh, but His cross was the first and last cross where once for all God’s lamb was slain

And, His blood was the first and last blood that can wash away sin’s stain

 

Verse 3

His cross was the first and last cross where atoning blood was supplied

And, His cross was first and last cross where God Himself would die.

 

Verse 4

His tomb was not the first tomb prepared where man would lay

His tomb was not the last tomb where death would lose it’s prey.

 

Verse 5

His tomb was the first and last tomb where life and death would collide

And His tomb was the first and last tomb where itself would die.

 

Verse 6 

For He arose on the third day ever more to live again

Soon He’ll return for His children we shall go to live with Him!

 

Verse 7

And His home there’ll be no sorrow, former things are passed away

And in His presence, we’ll live forever, Oh hallelujah, Oh, what a day!

Someday

Unknown

 

Verse 1

There’s a city a beautiful city, just beyond the divide,

Where God’s children shall rest eternal, there we’ll ever abide,

Daily striving to reach that homeland, we are going that way,

Headed for Glory telling the story, we shall see Heaven someday.

 

Verse 2

Like the saints who have gone before us, we’re determined to stay,

In the path that is straight and narrow, leading us forward each day,

Though we have problems Jesus is faithful, all our needs to supply,

The time is now nearing for His appearing, and for our Heavenly flight.

 

Chorus

Someday (someday) we shall see Jesus, someday by and by,

Someday (someday) these eyes shall behold Him, in that city on high,

We must linger, we must keep moving, Jesus is leading the way,

Shouting and singing, joy bells ringing, we shall see Heaven someday

 

 

New Grace

Tom Hayes

 

Verse 1

All of grace is a story, 
All the way from earth to glory, 
Since by grace, He lifted me from sin and woe, 
Living grace He has extended, 
As on Him the heart depended, 
But there'll be new grace, when it’s my time to go. 

Verse 2
There's been grace for every trial, 
There's been grace for every mile, 
There's been grace, sufficient from his vast supply, 
Grace to make my heart more tender, 
Grace to love and pray for sinners,
And there'll be new grace, when it’s my time to die. 

 

Chorus

Grace not yet discovered, 
Grace not yet uncovered, 
Grace from his bountiful store, 
There'll be grace, to cross the river, 
There'll be grace, to face forever, 
And there'll be new grace, I’ve not needed before

Old Fashioned Way

Fletcher Leonard Charles/Righteous Cause Music/BMI

 

 

Verse I
My mind gets so vexed, by the world that we're in, by battles and struggles and the heartache of sin. 

 

Old Satan's attacked, the church of today, they've left God's old paths, and have found a new way.


Chorus
Thank God for the altar, that's where I got in. That old time conviction, revealed all my sin. 

That old King James Bible, it still works today. Thank God I was raised in the old fashioned way.


Verse II
That old fashioned preacher, they say he must go. Just give us a smooth one, who puts on a show. 

Don't sing us those old songs, about dark Calvary, just sing us a new song, and happy we'll be.


Verse III
But I'd like to tell you, I'm not going that way. I'll stay with the blood, and the price Jesus paid. 

I was born in the fire, and the smoke will not do, I'm walking the old paths, brother how about you.

On The Sea Of Life
Bob Angel/TS Sloan/Inspirations Quartet Music Co/BMI
Verse I

We are on the sea of life, sailing to a better home,
Where the saved of all the earth, now abide,
Leaving all our trials here many treasures wait us there,
When we’ve crossed the foam and reached the other side,

Chorus
Sailing…………………………..
We are sailing onward, sailing sailing all day long
On……………………………….
We are clinging to our captain as the angry billows foam
Sailing………………………….
Soon, yes, soon we’ll reach the harbor and be safe beyond the tide
To……………………………….
We are going onward to
The other side

Verse II
Many millions now abide in that home beyond the tide
Where the ransomed pilgrims wait free from care
There is room on board for all who will heed the captain’s call
And take ship for heavens country bright and fair


 

One Scarred Hand
Kyla F Rowland/Rowland Martin/Coosa River Publishing/ASCAP

Verse I
He is the fountain for a thirsty soul,
He is the healer and so much more,
When my heart is broken from this worlds demands,
The pieces are mended with one scarred hand.

Chorus
And when I can’t stand, I have to lean,
And when I can’t see, I must believe,
The great physicians touch, is the balm that can,
Mend broken hearts, with one scarred hand.

Verse II
It’s the hand that hung this old world in place,
It’s the hand that was scarred just to give me grace,
And to think a hand that holds the stars,
Is small enough to mend one broken heart.

Tag
The great physicians touch, is the balm that can,
Mend broken hearts, with one scarred hand.


 

God Still Answers Prayer
Scott Thomas/Chestnut Mound/BMI

The Lord is not too busy, that He can’t reach down,
And mend a broken heart, and my burden is not too heavy,
That He can’t hear a plea of faith,
God still answers prayer.


Chorus
God still answers prayer___
In His time He’ll work a miracle,
He will never fail,
Satan has lost the battle,
when to the Lord you humbly bow,
God still an-swers prayer!

Verse II
If you feel that life is hopeless, and the night has no end
There’s hope for your hurting heart, for He’ll be there with you,
No matter what you’re going through,
God still answers prayer!

Satan has lost the battle,
When to the Lord you humbly bow,
God still an-swers prayer!



 

Look What I’m Trading For A Mansion
Paul and Beverly Chitwood/Chestnut Mound/BMI

Verse I
I once a story of a sainted old Mother,
Who had lived out her life here on earth,
As she lay on her deathbed her friends gathered round her,
And these were the last words she said….

Chorus
Oh look what I’m trading for a mansion,
Oh look what I’m leaving behind,
Oh look who will be there to greet me,
When I step in God’s sweet paradise,
I’ll be leaving behind all my sorrow,
I’ll be leaving behind all my cares,
For I’ve traded it all for that mansion,
That Jesus has gone to prepare.

Verse II
Well her hands were so feeble and her voice was so low,
But she still had a smile on her face,
She said I hear singing and they’re waiting for me,
As she looked toward Heaven and said…



 

The Lighthouse
Ronald A Hinson/Journey Music/BMI

Verse I
Oh there’s a lighthouse on the hillside,
That overlooks life’s sea,
When I’m tossed it sends out a light,
A light that I might see,
And the light that shines in darkness now,
Will safely lead me o’er,
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse,
My ship would sail no more.

Chorus
And 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 shone a light around me,
That I could clearly see,
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse,
Tell me where, would this ship be.

Verse II
Everybody that lives around us,
Says tear that ole lighthouse down,
The big ships don’t sail this anymore,
There’s no use of it standing round,
But then my mind goes back to that stormy night,
When just in time, I saw the light,
Yes the light from that old lighthouse,
That stands up there on the hill.

If it wasn’t for the lighthouse,
Tell me where, would this ship be.


 

When He Beckons Me Home
George Shuffler/ Rex Nelon Music Company/BMI

Verse I
There’s a place of sweet peace and rest where’ll I’ll go to live with all the blest,
When my work done here is all through,
There I’ll see all my friends gone on and join them in a brand new song,
My hope is I can see you too.

Chorus
Oh I’m looking for a happy time, when a home in heaven will be mine,
And I feel the time is not so far away,
I’ll walk on streets of purest gold, and wear a robe as white snow,
When He beckons, me home to stay.

Verse II
Over there we’ll have no end of time, and Jesus’ face will always shone,
For He’s the only light we’ll ever need,
There will be no pain nor sorrow there; we’ll have no heavy load bear,
And on His sweet manna, we will feed.

Going For The Gold
Etta Valez and Gene K Johnson/Chestnut Mound/BMI

An old preacher man wiped the sweat, from his wrinkled face,

All of the gold I’ve ever owned is on my left hand…,
But I’ve staked a claim in a far off beautiful land”….

Chorus
I feast will be spread for me, when I get home,
A kiss and a fathers’ smile, for He loves His own,

A mansion awaits me in that land, I’m going for the gold.

For silver and for gold, they work all their lives,
This race for them will end, when their hands fold,
This world is nothing but glitter down here; I’m going for the gold.

Oh What A Savior
Marvin P Dalton
Verse I

Once I was straying in sin's dark valley,
No hope within could I see,
They searched through Heaven,
And found a Savior,
To save a poor lost soul like me.

O what a Savior, O hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary
His hands were nail scarred
His side was riven
He gave His life-blood for even me.


Verse II
Death's chilly water I'll soon be crossing
His hand will lead me safe o're
I'll join the chorus in that great city
And sing up there for evermore.

Lyrics to our project, Oh Great Physician.
I Can, I Have, I Will
Kyla Rowland Christian Taylor Music / BMI
 
VERSE 1
So many times our friends will tell us I won't let you down.
And when the storms are threatening danger, they cannot be found.
But there's a friend whose name is Jesus and His promise is real.
There is no doubt He'll bring me out when He says I will.
 
VERSE 2
The enemy can make me tremble, make me so afraid.
I'll wrestle Satan through the night till the breaking of the day.
With just the strength to look toward Heaven, glory is revealed.
He stands there waiting gently saying, child you know I will.
 
CHORUS
I will, fight all of your battles, give them all to Me.
I can, make all of your trials, end in victory.
I have, all power and glory, it is Mine to give.
O what a blessing, I am resting for He says I will.

You've Been Good To Me

Verse 1
When I think of all, the many times, I've been spared, pain and misery
Even when, I played the fool, your unseen hand was there protecting me

When I look back on my yesterdays, I have to raise, my hands and say
Lord, You've Been Good To Me

You've Been Good To Me, and I just want to thank__ you
You've Been Good To Me, Lord, and I just want to praise___ you
You came for me, when I was astray, you took me back, all my sin's__ forgave
And I just want to thank__ you, You've Been Good To Me!

No Place That Far
© Kyla Rowland Christian Taylor Music / BMI
 
Verse 1
If I take the wings of the morning
If I dwell in the depth of the sea
In the darkest dungeon or on the highest mountain
Lord, that’s still not too far for Thee
 
 
Chorus
No, there’s no place that far
No place where I will be far from your heart
(Refrain) Love, grace and mercy are never out of my reach
No, there’s no place that far

If I find myself in the wilderness
If I’m lost and wandering alone
Like the one sheep that strayed, you’ll come find me
And, gently, you’ll lead me back home

For you know, every moment, just where I am (refrain)

Leave Your Past At Jesus' Feet
Sandy Blythe/Blythe Music Group/BMI
 
Verse I
Yesterday has come and gone, but you remember still
Every sin and every failure, it's a hurt that just won't heal
Each day you are reliving each painful memory
But a child of God should never bear that kind of misery
 
Chorus:
Leave your past at Jesus' feet and your future in His hands
Your past will never be remembered again
Don't worry about tomorrow, He'll give you grace to stand
Leave your past at Jesus' feet and your future in His hands
 
Verse II
You're crying out for mercy, and in love He's looking down
Can't you hear Him say, What sins are you talking about
You've already been forgiven, now you must forgive yourself
For your sins were covered by the blood the moment that you knelt
 
Bridge:
His feet still bear the marks, of the pain that He went thru
His hands are still nail scarred, from the shame He bore for you
 
Chorus:
Leave your past at Jesus' feet and your future in His hands
Your past will never be remembered again
Don't worry about tomorrow, He'll give you grace to stand
Leave your past at Jesus' feet and your future in His hands

Come Forth As Gold
Sandy Blythe/Blythe Music Group/BMI
 
Verse I
All of his family, all of his wealth was gone in a moment
And soon his body was racked with pain from his head to his feet
Even his wife said, Curse God and die, but he held on to faith
For Job said I trust, His word, He knows the way that I take
 
Chorus:
I may not see Him, but He's watching me
Though I don't understand, He knows where I am,
and that's all that I need
I can't feel Him now, but He's with me I know
After I'm tried and tested by fire, I'll come forth as gold
 
Verse II
Each time I open the Word and read of Job's test of faith
It gives me new strength, 'cause right now it seems God is
so far away
On the left and the right, He's no where in sight, but one
thing I know
His promise is true, and when this trial's thru, I'll come forth as gold

Joy In The Morning
C. A. Wilburn/Word Music LLC

Verse 1
Tears often fall, from my face in sorrow,
As I walk on, thru the long, lonely night,
And often I cry, yet it seems no one hears me,
And then thru the shadows I can see, the dawning of light.

Chorus
Tho shadows may fall, and my cross gets heavy,
And sometimes it seems, I'll never see another day dawning,
Then I remember His Word, tho the night finds me weeping,
He promised me, and surely there'll be, joy in the morning.

Verse 2
Now, soon this life, and all of its trials,
Will be left behind, there's another day dawning,
And shadows of sin, will vanish forever,
And forever I'll find, where the sun always shines, joy in the morning.

Egypt was once my home, I was a slave
Helpless in sin did roam, love-light did crave

Living on Canaan's side Egypt behind
Crossed over Jordan wide gladness to find
My soul is satisfied, no longer blind
Living with Jesus up in Canaan right now

Down in the lowlands drear, burdened with sin,
My soul was filled with fear, darkness within,
But Christ the Savior, to me drew near my heart to win

Look up to higher ground it twill not be long
Till Christ the savior your soul has found you'll
sing this song
I’m living in Canaan now


Oh Great Physician

Verse 1
She followed the crowd, determined to see Him
She so believed, if she could just reach Him
It wouldn’t take long – It wouldn’t take much
The hem of His garment – only a touch
Cause where there is faith – There will be grace
 
CHORUS
Oh Great Physician – make me whole
Heal my body and my mind – Restore my soul
You’re the remedy for my condition
Come make me whole – Oh Great Physician
 
Verse 2
It’s always His will, to go to the helpless
Cause it’s His desire, to rescue the hopeless
We struggle to trust, and we press through the doubt
And there at His feet – His love reaches out
And He answers out faith, When He hears us pray

For My Good

Verse I
Lord today my heart is heavy with these problems I confess

This
 
But I know that you are with me and you'll bring me thru
somehow
 
For you gave me a promise I'm standing on right now
 
Chorus:
You promised that all things will work together
for my good
 
Though many things have happened I haven't understood
 
You're making something beautiful just like you said you would
 
You promised that all things will work together for my good
 
Verse II
You never said life would be easy and this I know is true
 
Many tears have stained my pillow as I learn to trust in
you
 
Oh but Lord you've never failed me thru the joy and thru the
pain
 
Somehow you put it all together for my good in your own way
