I'M GOING TO LIVE THE LIFE I SING ABOUT IN MY SONG

I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand for right and I always shun the wrong
If I'm in the crowd, If I'm alone
On the streets or in my home
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song

Everyday, everywhere
On a busy thoroughfare
Folks may watch me; some may spot me
Say I'm foolish
But I don't care
I can't sing one thing and then live another
Be saint by day and a devil undercover
I've got to live the life I sing about in my song

If at day, if at night
I must always walk in the light
Some mistake me; underrate me
Because I want to do aright

I can't go to church and shout all day Sunday
Go out and get drunk and raise sand all day Monday
I've got to live the life, I sing about in my song

IF I CAN HELP SOMEBODY

If I can help somebody
As I travel along
If I can help somebody
With a word or song
If I can help somebody
From doing wrong
My living shall not be in vain.

My living shall not be in vain
My living shall not be in vain
If I can help somebody
While I'm singing this song
My living shall not be in vain.

IF I COULD HEAR MY MOTHER PRAY AGAIN

How sweet and happy seem those days of which I dream,
When memory oh calling now and then!
Oh and with what rapture sweet my weary heart would beat,
If I could hear my mother pray again.

If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice again!
So happy I would be, it would mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.

If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice again!
So happy I would be, it would mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.

She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely,
And always walk the shining gospel way;
So trusting in His love, I'm seeking a home above,
Where I can meet my mother some glad day.

If I could hear my mother pray again,
If I could hear her tender voice again!
So happy I would be, it would mean so much to me,
If I could hear my mother pray again.

IN THE UPPER ROOM

In the upper room with Jesus
Singing in tears blessed fears
Daily there my sins confessing
Beggin for his mercy sweet
Trusting in his blessed powers
Seeking help in loving prayers
Oh in there I feel real
As I see with him the day

Well I'm in the upper room

IT IS NO SECRET (WHAT GOD CAN DO)

The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through
Someone slipped and fell, was that someone you
You may have longed for added strength, your courage to renew
Just do not be disheartened, for I bring hope to you

It is no secret, what God can do
What He's done for others, He can for you
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do

IT TOOK A MIRACLE

My Father is omnipotent
And that you can't deny
A God of might and miracles
'Tis written in the sky.

It took a miracle
To put the stars in place
It took a miracle
To hang the moon in space
But when He saved my soul
Cleansed and made me whole
It took a miracle
Of love and grace!
(repeat)

JOSHUA FIT THE BATTLE OF JERICHO

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
The walls come tumblin' down, Hallelujah

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down

You may talk about the men of Gideon
You may talk about the men of Saul
But there're none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down, Hallelujah

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down

Up to the walls of Jericho
With sword drawn in his hand
?Go blow them horns?, cried Joshua
?The battle is in my hands?

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down, that mornin'

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down, Hallelujah

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho, Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down

JOY TO THE WORLD


Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Lord if you plea.
Daily walking close with Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, Lord, let it be.

I am weak, but Thou are strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong.
I'll be satisfied as long
As I can walk, dear Lord, close with 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 weary life is over
Pain and suff'ring are no more.
Who will lead me safely o'er
Canaan's shore, that sweet Canaan's shore.

KEEP ME EVERYDAY

Lord I want to live for thee
Everyday and hour
Let thy spirit
Be with me in its saving power

Keep my heart and
Keep my hand
Keep my soul I pray and
Keep my tongue
To speak thy praise
Keep me all the way

In my weakness
Be my strength
In my sorrow be my all
Be thy with me all the way
And hear me when I call

Lord keep whatever You do
Please keep
Keep me in your care
Please keep
Keep me under the shadow
Of your wings
Lord keep me
All the way
