FOREVER BLESSED
Forever Blessed

If the mountains fall in the sea
I won’t fear, I know my God’s protecting me
If the stars ever cease to shine
In the darkness, His Spirit will be my light
Through eternity, I will always be…

Forever blessed. Forever kept. Forever sheltered
Here in His arms, I can’t be harmed
Nothing could be better,
Than knowing I’m His forever
I’m forever blessed

All around me is sinking sand
But His Word is the Rock upon which I stand
Earthly kingdoms may pass away

In every trial that life may bring
Jesus my Savior will help me sing…

THAT OLD TIME PRAYER MEETING
That Old Time Prayer Meeting
Vs 1
We had to clap our hands when we heard that band, and that piano-man started to play
Upon those black and whites and it was pure delight, as the call rang out: “It’s time to pray.”
Then that choir began to sing “Sweet Beulah Land.”
With one voice we were all praising the Lord.
We lifted up our hands -- sang “Holy is the Lamb”
It felt like God had come through the door
Chorus
At that old time prayer meeting, we got down to business, doin’ business down on our knees
My Lord, what a feeling; we were singing, shouting, testifying, and God was pleased
At that old time prayer meeting
Vs 2
Not every soul was clean, but God intervened, and holy angels were camped all around
Then like a rushing wind, the Holy Ghost came in, and filled the house, O what a happy sound!
Then we heard a cry go up: “Forgive my sin.”
And another said, “Oh Lord, help me now.”
So we looked deep within, repenting once again
We knew that we were on holy ground
Chorus
Bridge
When the clock stood at six -- we’d figured out the devil’s tricks (lift)
When the chimes rang out eight – no one said, “It’s getting late” (lift)
When the hands reached eleven --- we were lifted up to heaven (lift)
Repeat Chorus

HIS FATHER'S NAME
His Father’s Name
Vs 1
An angel came to Mary, and Joseph met him too
He told them that the promise would soon be coming true
That God would surely give them a holy child to raise
They’d called Him Jesus: born of God and full of grace
Chorus
He has His Father’s Name – the Name that saves us from our sins
Prince of Peace; mighty God, He is the way
Each year at Christmas, we’re reminded once again
The Son of God came down to us, and He has His Father’s Name
Vs 2
The world was bound in darkness, when angels were sent down
To visit humble shepherds, nearby the little town
Peace on the earth and good will; God’s messengers proclaimed
They found the baby, in a manger where He laid
Repeat Chorus

For God so loved the world, is why He came
Jehovah, our salvation is His name

JESUS STOOD STILL
JESUS STOOD STILL
Vs 1
Jesus walked along, down that dusty road, as He went out to Jericho
''Round the Lord, the crowd swirled like a tempest-tossed, ahead lay suffering and the cross
Bartimaeus sat by the road that day -- he was blind when Jesus passed his way
Then he cried, "Son of David, please have mercy on me."
Chorus
Then Jesus stood still. Jesus stood still
The King who came to earth a sacrifice for sin
Stopped where he was and cared for him
God wants to remind us: His love was revealed, when Jesus stood still
Vs 2
Just like Bartimaeus I was in the dark, nothing to guide me but my heart
I followed as it led me down a broken road, ‘till there was no place left to go
One day the world became too much for me, that’s when I fell down on my knees
And I said, “Holy Spirit, please do for me what you did”
Repeat Chorus (change “Then” to “When” at the beginning)
End
The moment I surrendered to the Father’s will, Jesus stood still

A Path I’ve Never Walked Before

A path I’ve never walked before is just ahead

But if I stumble or fall my Lord will hear me when I call

Angels are guiding me to new horizons everyday
Through on open door to a path I’ve never walked before

Blood sweat and tears for liberty
Their watchwords were: “Protect – Defend.”

And they have earned the right to live with dignity,
Until they go where comrades wait around the bend

Above the clouds, on shell-scared hills

MY TEEN AGE GIRL WITH AUBURN HAIR
Teenage Girl With Auburn Hair

Beautiful of face and form, and to my mind there was none that compared
She stole my heart -- my mind did always dwell
On that teenage girl with auburn hair

Kisses sweet as summer wine, when I was near to her my heart did melt
To me there was no other girl as fair
As that teenage girl with auburn hair

The one I always dreamed of
Wherever I may go, I will always know
There never was a girl so fine, so loving and so kind
As my teenage girl with auburn hair

Hearts on fire the flame did burn; I knew that just one touch would bring romance
There was no trial of life I would not dare
If I could have that girl with auburn hair

The years have passed, that teenaged girl, is not as young now as she was before
Yet passing time has only shown, so very much in her to be adored

She is my only love, sent down from God above …

You Could’a Been a Movie Star (Duet)

After graduation she headed to L.A., while Uncle Sam sent him on his first trip overseas
They had different plans and different dreams

As fate would have it, she got signed and landed her first role, the same week he was shot and paralyzed
When she got the call, she was determined she would be, the first thing he would see there when he opened up his eyes
And he told her when he saw her by his side
Chorus
You could’a been a movie star. Girl you could’a had it all.
Ride around in a chauffeured car, Hollywood’s first call
Everyone would know your name, an All-American sweetheart
I can’t believe you chose me to play this part, but here you are
You could’a been a movie star

She gave up fame and fortune, and never did look back, leavin’ Tinsel Town with few regrets.

The Land of the Living

Some call this the land of the living, but a life full of years is still brief.
Our loved ones leave us so lonely. Death’s parting brings pain, tears, and grief
But one day we’ll leave this world behind, for the place where there’s no need for prayer
The land of the living is Heaven – no tears will be shed over there

When we behold our Lord and King, we’ll say, “Oh death where is your sting?”
Then we’ll ascend those golden stairs,” in that city built foursquare
In the land of the living called heaven, for death cannot enter there
Vs 2
We struggle and fight against evil. This world is fallen in sin
The devil torments the believer though he knows that he cannot win
King Jesus will come to take us home. He’ll bring us white robes to wear
In the land of the living called heaven, no place on this earth can compare
Vs 3
While walking on streets that are golden, we'll meet those who went on before
The saints of the ages all singing, that Christ is the way, He's the door
Bright angels will come to hear our song --- as line upon line we declare:
The land of the living is heaven – the home that our Lord has prepared

TILL I'M HOLDING YOU AGAIN
‘Till I’m Holding You Again
Vs 1
When we touch, it leaves a mem’ry that’s not easy to forget
Like July fireworks just too hot to hold
I’ve crossed over my old bridges, burned them down the day we met
Just the thought of other lovers leaves me cold
Chorus
I’ll be lonely ‘till I see you, and my world won’t be right
I can’t wait until you’re in my arms tonight
And this longing just won’t leave me. Seems this day will never end
I’ll be lonely ‘till I’m holding you again
Vs 2
Every minute’s like an hour; every step is sinking sand
When we’re apart I’m dyin’ by degrees
So please hurry to my rescue, lift me up, and help me stand
Just one kiss from your sweet lips will steady me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Through the good years, and the lean times, your love has been what’s right
All my troubles fall behind me when you come into sight
Chorus (Last two lines)
