CONSIDER THE LILIES
I
CONSIDER THE LILIES THEY DON'T TOIL NOR SPIN BUT THERE'S NOT
A KING WITH MORE SPLENDOR THAN THEM.
CONSIDER THE SPARROWS THEY DON'T PLANT NOR SOW
BUT HE'S FED BY THE MASTER WHO WATCHES THEM GROW.
CHORUS
WE HAVE A HEAVENLY FATHER ABOVE
WITH EYES FULL OF MERCY AND A HEART FULL OF LOVE.
HE REALLY CARES WHEN YOUR HEAD IS BOWED LOW.
CONSIDER THE LILIES AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW.
II
MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO THIS FRIEND OF MINE
WHO HANGS OUT THE STARS AND TELLS THE SUN WHEN TO SHINE.
AND KISSES THE FLOWERS EACH MORNING WITH DEW
BUT HE'S NOT TOO BUSY TO CARE ABOUT YOU.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CORONATION DAY
I
THERE IS SOON TO BE A MEETING
FREE FROM TOIL AND SORROW
WHEN THE SAINTS SHALL ALL ASSEMBLE IN THE AIR.
THERE'LL BE PROPHETS, PRIESTS AND SAGES
SAINTS THAT LIVED DOWN THROUGH THE AGES.
BUT THEY'LL NEVER CROWN JESUS TILL I GET THERE.
II
THEY WILL COME FROM EVERY NATION
EVERY TRIBE OF GOD'S CREATION.
THROUGH THE BLOOD APPLIED TO SOULS ARE PURE AND FAIR.
OF THE MULTITUDE THAT GATHERS I MAY BE THE LEAST AMONG THEM
BUT THEY'LL NEVER CROWN JESUS TILL I GET THERE.
CHORUS
ON THAT CORONATION DAY HEAVENS CHORDS WILL RING WITH PRAISE
WHEN THE BLOOD WASHED ARMY GATHERS IN THE AIR.
MILLIONS SING THE GLAD REFRAIN
FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES MEET AGAIN.
BUT THEY'LL NEVER CROWN JESUS TILL I GET THERE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CRIED MY WAY TO VICTORY
I
TODAY THE SUN IS SO MUCH BRIGHT.
TODAY MY LOAD IS SO MUCH LIGHTER.
ONE NIGHT I WENT TO AN OLD CAMP MEETING.
I KNELT IN PRAYER GOD MET ME THERE.
HALLELUJAH
CHORUS
HE SAVED MY SOUL THAT NIGHT IN PRAYER
I CAST ON HIM MY EVERY CARE.
THE SAINTS OF GOD ALL PRAYED FOR ME.
WHEN I CRIED MY WAY TO VICTORY.
II
THE TEARS RAN DOWN MY CHEEKS THAT NIGHT
MY SOUL WAS FILLED WITH PURE DELIGHT.
I KNEW THAT I WAS BORN ANEW.
I FELT HIS POWER RUN THROUGH AND THROUGH.
HALLELUJAH
III
A SONG OF PRAISE I'LL SING FOREVER
UNTIL I CROSS OLD JORDAN'S RIVER,
I WILL NOT FEAR OF HOW I'LL FARE.
GOD SAVED MY SOUL THAT NIGHT IN PRAYER.
HALLELUJAH

CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE
I
LORD, BLESS YOUR CHILDREN, WHO WALK IN PERFECTION
WHO MANAGE TO MASTER YOUR WILL.
GIVE THEM THEIR SHARE OF SWEET MILK AND WILD HONEY
BY BREAD OF LIFE TILL THEIR FILLED.
CHORUS
FEED THE CHILDREN BUT GIVE ME THE CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE
I'LL WAIT FOR THEM DOWN ON MY KNEES.
I'D BE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THE CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE
FOR STRENGTH NEEDED TO FOLLOW ME.
II
LORD, I'M NOT WORTHY TO EAT FROM THE PLATTER
FOR I'M JUST A BEGGAR IN THEE.
SATISFY OTHERS UNTIL THEIR ALL FINISHED
THEN JESUS HAVE MERCY ON ME.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CRY FROM THE CROSS
I
ONE MORNING IN JERUSALEM ABOUT THE BREAK OF DAWN.
A GREAT TRIAL WAS IN SESSION THEY TRIED OUR BLESSED LORD.
THEY SCORNED HIM AND THEY MOCKED HIM THEY MADE HIM CARRY THE CROSS.
ON TOP OF CALVARY'S MOUNTAIN THEY CRUCIFIED MY LORD.
CHORUS
OH THE CRY FROM THE CROSS.
JESUS CRIED
FORGIVE THEM BLESSED FATHER HE DIED UPON THE CROSS.
OH THE CRY FROM THE CROSS.
JESUS CRIED
THE SON OF GOD WAS DYING, TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM LOST.
II
ST. PETER HE DENIED HIM AT THE AWFUL TRIAL THAT NIGHT.
HE SAID HE NEVER KNEW HIM IT WAS AN AWFUL SIGHT.
HE LOOKED UPON ST. PETER OF EYES OF PERFECT LOVE.
ST. PETER HEART WAS BROKEN HE PRAYED TO GOD ABOVE.
III
CRYING FATHER IT IS FINISHED THEN HE BOWED HIS HEAD AND HE DIED.
THEN THE WORLD WAS LEFT IN DARKNESS THE GRAVES WERE OPENED WIDE.
AN EARTHQUAKE SHOOK JERUSALEM THE DEAD WALKED INTO TOWN.
THE MULTITUDE WAS FRIGHTENED GOD'S WRATH CAME POURING DOWN.

Days Of Elijah
One:
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days of your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!
Chorus:
Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
Two:
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in the world
And we are the labourers in your vineyard
Declaring the word of the Lord!
Chorus:
Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
There's no God like Jehovah!
(Repeat 3 times)
Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes

DAYSTAR
Lily of the Valley, let Your sweet aroma fill my life
Rose of Sharon, show me how to grow in beauty in God’s sight
Fairest of Ten Thousand, make me a reflection of Your light
Daystar, shine down on me, let Your love shine thru me in the night
(Chorus)
Lead me Lord, I’ll follow anywhere You open up the door
Let me know your wisdom show me things I’ve never seen before
Lord, I want to be Your witness and You can take what’s wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me let Your love shine thru me in the night
I see a world that dying wounded by the master of deceit
Groping in the darkness haunted by the years of past defeat
Then I see you standing near me shining with compassion in Your eyes
And God with Jesus, shine down on me let Your love shine thru me in the night
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag: Daystar shine down on me let Your love shine thru me in the night
Daystar shine down on me let Your love shine thru me in the night

MY BURDENS KEEP ME HUMBLE AND TEACH ME TO PRAY.
IF I MURMUR OR CRUMBLE FORGIVE THE WORDS I SAY.
BUT DON'T TAKE MY BURDEN OR MY CROSS AWAY.

AND I WILL NOT QUESTION THE PRICE I MUST PAY.
JUST DON'T TAKE MY BURDENS OR MY CROSS AWAY.

DOWN ON MY KNEES
He stumbled in the front door – he’d never been inside a church
He was looking for some answers – God knows how he’d searched
He’d traded in his old life grace is just a step ahead
When he made it to the altar he turned to me and said…
(chorus)
“Friend, I’ve hit rock bottom not a nickel to my name
I throwed away what God gave me and I’ve only me to blame
Everyday is a battle when your heart is incomplete
Help me get down on my knees so I can get back on my feet”
He was so tired of running a man without a home
This world cannot help you when you’re empty and alone
He said I want the family back I’m tired of living in the streets
Help me get down on my knees so I can get back on my feet
(Repeat Chorus)
tag: Everyday is a battle when your heart is incomplete
Help me get down on my knees so I can get back on my feet
Help me get down on my knees so I can get back on my feet

Drinking from My Saucer
I've never made a fortune
And it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow.
And, as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven't got a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough.
But I've got loving ones around me,
And it makes me rich enough.
I thank God for His blessings,
And the mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
O, remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
And sun peeped through again.
So, Lord, help me not to gripe about
The tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
If God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough;
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy
To help another bear their load.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

DUST ON THE BIBLE
I
I WENT INTO A HOME ONE DAY TO SEE SOME FRIENDS OF MINE.
OF ALL THE BOOKS AND MAGAZINES NOT A BIBLE COULD I FIND.
I ASKED THEM FOR THE BIBLE WHEN THEY BROUGHT IT WHAT A SHAME
FOR THE DUST WAS COVERED OVER IT NOT A FINGER PRINT WAS PLAIN
II
YOU CAN READ YOUR MAGAZINES, READ OF LOVE AND TRAGIC THINGS.
BUT NOT ONE WORD OF SCRIPTURE, NOT ONE VERSE DO YOU KNOW.
WHEN IT IS THE VERY TRUTH IT'S CONTENTS ARE GOOD FOR YOU.
GET THE DUST OFF THE BIBLE IT'LL DOOM YOUR POOR SOUL.
CHORUS
DUST ON THE BIBLE DUST ON THE HOLY WORD
THE WORDS OF ALL THE PROPHETS AND THE SAYINGS OF OUR LORD.
OF ALL THE OTHER BOOKS YOU'LL FIND THERE'S NONE SALVATION WHOLE.
GET THE DUST OFF THE BIBLE AND REDEEM YOUR POOR SOUL.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Empty Tomb
(1)
There’s an empty tomb in Jerusalem today, that plainly to us testifies
He who lived there, no longer is dead, but living and reining on high,
Just as sure as he came before me; who suffered and died for my sin
That’s just how sure what I feel in my soul,
Makes me know he’s coming again.
Chorus:
Sing me a song about Calvary,
Show me his suffering and loss
Tell it- till each part- of my soul shall cry
Thank God for the old rugged cross.
(2)
They say that each mountain and high lofty place,
Must be brought down at God’s will
But in my heart a picture still stands a vision of Golgotha’s hill,
That’s where Jesus, my Savior and Lord, gladly the sacrifice paid
So when I repented and come to the cross
I found sin’s debt was already paid
Chorus:
Sing me a song about Calvary,
Show me his suffering and loss
Tell it- till each part- of my soul shall cry
Thank God for the old rugged cross.
(Tag)
I thank God for the old rugged cross.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enemy's Camp
I _ went to the enemy's camp
And I _ took back what he stole from me,
I _ took back what he stole from me _,
Took back what he stole from me.
I _ went to the enemy's camp
And I _ took back what he stole from me.
He's under my feet,
He's under my feet,
He's under my feet,
He's under my feet,
He's under my feet,
He's under my feet,
Sa_tan is under my feet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FALLEN LEAVES
1)
LORD LET MY EYES SEE EVERY NEED OF EVERY MAN,
MADE ME STOP AND ALWAYS LIND A HELPING HAND.
THEN WHEN I'M LAID BENEATH THAT LITTLE GRASSY MOUND,
THERE'LL BE MORE FRIENDS AROUND THAN LEAVES UPON THE GROUND.
CHORUS)
FALLEN LEAVES THAT LIE SCATTERED ON THE GROUND,
THE BIRDS AND FLOWERES THAT WERE THERE CANNOT BE FOUND.
ALL THE FRIENDS HE EVER HAD OUR NOT AROUND,
THEY ARE SCATTERED LIKE THE LEAVES UPON THE GROUND.
2)
SOME FOLKS DRIFT ALONG THRU LIFE AND NEVER THRILL,
TO THE FEELING THAT A GOOD DEED BRINGS.
UNTIL ITS TOO LATE AND THEY ARE READY TO LIE DOWN,
THERE BENEATH THE LEAVES SCATTERED ON THE GROUND.
3)
TO YOUR GRAVE THERE'S NO USE TAKING ANY GOLD,
YOU CAN'T USE IT WHEN ITS TIME FOR HANDS TO FOLD.
WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH FOR A BETTER HOME SOMEDAY,
THE ONLY THINGS YOU TAKE IS WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FAMILY BIBLE
I
THERE'S A FAMILY BIBLE ON THE TABLE
IT'S PAGES ARE TORN AND HARD TO READ.
BUT THE FAMILY BIBLE ON THE TABLE
WILL EVER BE MY KEY TO MEMORY.
II
AT THE END OF DAY WHEN WORK IS OVER
AND THE EVENING MEAL WAS DONE.
DAD WOULD READ TO US FROM THE FAMILY BIBLE
AND WE'D COUNT OUR MANY BLESSINGS ONE BY ONE.
III
THIS OLD WORLD OF OURS IS FULL OF TROUBLE
THIS OLD WORLD OH SO BETTER IT WOULD BE.
IF WE HAD MORE BIBLES ON THE TABLE
AND MOTHERS SINGING ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME.
CHORUS
I CAN SEE A SITTING ROUND THE TABLE
WHEN FROM THE FAMILY BIBLE DAD WOULD READ.
I CAN HEAR MY MOTHER SOFTLY SINGING
ROCK OF AGES ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FAMILY CIRCLE
I
MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD DAYS
I RECALL THEM NOW AND THEN
WHEN WE ARE AT HOME WITH THE FAMILY THERE.
BUT THE CIRCLE HAS BEEN BROKEN
IT'S NOT THE SAME ANYMORE
BUT UP THERE WE'LL MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN'S SHORE.
II
WILL DADDY BE THERE WAITING
WHEN I CROSS THE CHILLING TIDE.
WILL MOTHER BE THERE STANDING BY HIS SIDE
I PRAY THE FAMILY CIRCLE WILL BE PRESENT BY AND BY
IN A LAND WHERE THE SOUL SHALL NEVER DIE.
CHORUS
I WONDER IF THE FAMILY CIRCLE
WILL BE TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN.
OVER THERE ON HEAVEN'S SHINING SHORE.
THERE NO MORE TO SEPARATE
WE'LL SING AROUND GOD'S THRONE.
I WONDER IF THE FAMILY CIRCLE WILL ALL BE HOME.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FAMILY PRAYER
I
PRAYER WILL SAIL ACROSS THE COUNTRY
FASTER THAN A TRAIN CAN RUN.
PRAYER WILL SAIL ACROSS THE OCEAN
PRAYER CAN STOP YOUR WONDERING ROUND.
II
AT EVENING WHEN YOU FEEL DOWN HEARTED
EVERY THING'S GONE WRONG ALL DAY.
CALL THE FAMILY TOGETHER
ASK THEM ALL TO KNEEL AND PRAYER.
III
WHEN YOU GATHER AROUND THE FIRESIDE
WITH THE FAMILY ALL CLOSE BY
THANK THE LORD FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS
AS YOU PRAY TO HIM ON HIGH.
CHORUS
DON'T FORGET THE FAMILY PRAYER
GOD WILL SURELY MEET YOU THERE
WHEN YOU GATHER IN THE EVENING
DON'T FORGET THE FAMILY PRAYER.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Farther Along
1)
TEMPTED AND TRIED, WE'RE OFT MADE TO WONDER
WHY IT SHOULD BE THUS ALL THE DAY LONG,
WHILE THERE ARE OTHERS LIVING ABOUT US,
NEVER MOLESTED THO' IN THE WRONG.
2)
WHEN DEATH HAS COME AND TAKEN OUR LOVED ONES,
IT LEAVES OUR HOME SO LONELY AND DREAR,
THEN DO WE WONDER WHY OTHERS PROSPER,
LIVING SO WICKED YEAR AFTER YEAR.
3)
"FAITHFUL TO DEATH" SAID OUR LOVING MASTER,
A FEW MORE DAYS TO LABOR AND WAIT,
TOILS OF THE ROAD WILL THEN SEEM AS NOTHING,
AS WE SWEEP THRU THE BEAUTIFUL GATE.
4)
WHEN WE SEE JESUS COMING IN GLORY,
WHEN HE COMES FROM HIS HOME IN THE SKY,
THEN WE SHALL MEET HIM IN THAT BRIGHT MANSION,
WE'LL UNDERSTAND IT ALL BY AND BY.
CHORUS)
FARTHER ALONG WE'LL KNOW ALL ABOUT IT,
FARTHER ALONG WE'LL UNDERSTAND WHY,
CHEER UP. MY BROTHER. LIVE IN THE SUNSHINE,
WE'LL UNDERSTAND IT ALL BY AND BY;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feel the Nails
I
They tell me Jesus died for my transgressions
that he paid the price a long, long time ago.
when he gave his life for me on a hill called Calvary
But there's something else that I want to know
II
It seems that I'm so good at breaking promises
I treat his precious grace so carelessly
Each time he forgives what he really relives
the agony he felt on that tree.
Chorus
Does he still feel the nails everytime I fail?
Does he hear the crowd cry crucify again?
Am I causing him pain then I know I've got to change.
I just cannot bear the thought of hurting him.
2nd chorus
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord.
Holy Holy Holy is the Lord.
Does he still feel the nails everytime I fail?
Have I crucified you Jesus with my sins?
Oh I'm tired of playing games I really want to change.
I never want to hurt you again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FEELING MIGHTY FINE
1)
WELL, I WOKE UP THIS MORNING FEELING FINE
I WOKE UP WITH HEAVEN ON MY MIND
I WOKE UP WITH JOY IN MY SOUL
FOR I KNEW MY LORD HAD CONTROL
AND I KNEW I WAS WALKING IN THE LIGHT
FOR I'D BEEN ON MY KNEES IN THE NIGHT
AND I PRAYED 'TIL THE LORD GAVE ME SIGHT
AND NOW I'M FEELING MIGHTY FINE.
2)
I'VE BEEN WALKING AWITH JESUS ALL THE TIME
WE'RE WALKING AND TALKING AS WE CLIMB
WE'RE TRAVDELLING THEAT ROAD TO THE SKY

AND HE TELLS ME THAT EVERYTHING IS GRAND
AND HE SAYS THAT A HOME WILL BE MINE
AND NOW I'M FEELING MIGHTY FINE.
CHO.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FORGIVE THEM FATHER
I
AS THE BIRDS BEGAN TO SING
JUDGEMENT BELLS BEGIN TO RING
THEY WERE TRYING OUR LORD THERE THAT DAY.
PILATE SAID NO FAULT I FIND
IN THIS MAN THAT IS SO KIND
BUT CRUCIFY HIM I HEAR YOU SAY.
II
OH IT'S BEEN SO LONG AGO
JESUS SAVED ME THIS I KNOW
AND SWEET VICTORY HAS BEEN WON.
ON THAT THIRD AND FINAL DAY
HE CONQUERED DEATH HELL AND THE GRAVE
AND SAID WHOSOEVER WILL LET HIM COME.
CHORUS
FORGIVE THEM FATHER I HEAR HIM REPEAT
AS THE BLOOD CAME DRIPPING DOWN
FROM HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET.
A CROWN OF THORNS UPON HIS HEAD
WITH SPEAR WOUND IN HIS SIDE
OH HE BOWED HIS SWEET HEAD AND HE DIED.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Four Days Late
Verse 1
The news came to Jesus, Please come fast
Lazarus is sick and without your help he will not last
Mary and Martha watched thier brother die
They waited for Jesus, He did not come
And they wondered why.
Verse 2
The death watch was over, Buried four days
Somebody said He'll soon be here, the Lord's on His way
Martha ran to Him and then she cried
Lord if you had been here You could have healed him
He'd still be alive
Chorus
But You're four days late And all hope is gone
Lord we don't understand why you've waited so long
But His way is God's way Not yours or mind
When He's four days late He's still on time
Verse 3
Jesus said Martha show me the grave, But she said Lord
You don't understand He's been there four days
The grave stone was rolled back, Then Jesus cried
Lazarus come forth then somebody said
He's alive, He's alive
Verse 4
You may be fighting a battle of fear
You've cried to the Lord I need You now
But he has not appeared. Friend don't be discouraged
Cause He's still the same
He'll soon be here He'll roll back the stone
And He'll call out your name
Repeat Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
