He'll make you cry
He'll give you peace
Real peace of mind
He'll give you joy
Oh, wonderful joy
He'll give you joy
When you need it most
Oh, and children
When you see me shout
Oh, I've got something
To really shout about
Since I know Him
I'm as happy as I can be

"Precious Memories"
as sung by: Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Precious memories- how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold
In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old time singing, gladness ringing
From that lovely land somewhere
Precious memories- how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scened unfold
"What Jesus Is To Me"
by: Clara Ward
I don't know what Jesus is to you
But I hope He's to you what He is to
me
He's all I'd like to own
He's my chief corner stone
Yes, I know what Jesus is to me
Some say that He's the Rose of Sharon
Some say that He's the bright, morning
star
Some say that He's the lily way down
in the valley
I will agree, Lord, that He's all that
All that and more to me
Hard trials, Lord, and pit falls
You know, I've had them all
But I cried to the Lord and he heard
my call
When I'm about to fall, Jesus fixes it
all
And I know what Jesus is to me.
"What Are They Doing In Heaven"
by: Sister Rosetta Tharpe
I'm thinking of a friend
Whom I used to know
Who lived down in this world
In this broken up world of sin and war
They're gone up to Heaven now
Up to Heaven, I know
I'm wondering what are they doing there
now
I'm wondering what are they doing
In Heaven right now, today
But sin and sorrow are all washed away
They're having peace
Abide[ing] like a river
What are they doing there now
"Farther Along"
Traditional
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
When death has come and taken our loved
ones
It leaves our hearts [homes] so lonely
and drear
The do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
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
"Peace,
Be Still"
by: James Cleveland
Master, the tempest is raging
The billows are tossing high
The sky is o'ershadowed with blackness
No shelter or help is nigh
Carest thou not that we perish
How can thou lie asleep
When each moment so madly
is threatning
A grave in the angry deep
The winds and the waves shall
obey thy will
Peace be still, peace be still
Peace be still, peace be still
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed
sea
Or demons, or men, or whatever
it be
No water can swallow the ship
where lies
The Master of ocean and earth
and skies
They all shall sweetly obey thy
will
Peace- peace, be still

"It May Be The Best For Me"
by: Clara Ward
I often wonder why it is
Why some are happy and free
While I am tried and so oppressed
But it may be the best for me
Some folks have money just to
throw away
While I'm compelled to be
Almost in want from day to day
But, it may be the best for me
Oh, you know it may be
May be the best for me
Oh, you know it maby be
The best for me
The Lord knows the way
And I've got to obey
For it may be the best for me
"Can't You See"
by: Cleophus Robinson
If you think you're not doing
alright
If you think you're not doing
alright
Take a walk, take a walk, take
a walk
To the hospitals and then you'll
see
People are there in misery
Some are lame and they can't walk
Some are dumb and they can't talk
Can't you see, can't you see,
can't you see
Can't you see you're doing alright
Stop complaining 'bout the way
you'll fair
Go to God in a secret prayer
Tell Him, "Lord, the way seems
hard to run"
"[And] at the setting of the golden
sun"
"[And] Lord, if you hold my hand,"
"I will make it to the Promised
Land,"
"All my troubles will be gone."
Stop complaining because you don't
want to work
Stop complaining 'cause you gotta
go to work
Don't you know, don't you know,
don't you know
There are others that want to
go
Won't you see, won't you see,
won't you see

"Get Away Jordan"
by: Dorothy Love Coates
Get away
(Get away Jordan)
Get away
(Get away, ol' chilly Jordan)
Get away
(Get away Jordan)
Oh, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord
(rpt)
You know, I promised
the Lord if he would set me free
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
I'd go until I'd find
out what the end might be
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
One day, one day I was walkin
along
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
You know, I heard a voice, but I
saw no one
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
The voice I heard sounded so sweet,
child
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
Came down from my head to the
sole of my feet
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
Well, get away
(Get away Jordan)
Oh, get away
(Get away, ol' chilly Jordan)
Get way back
(Get back, get back, yes)
Oh, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord
You know, one of these mornings,
it won't be long
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
You're gonna look for me, child,
and I'll be gone
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
With a few more risings and settings
of the sun
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
This ol' battle will be fought,
and the victory won
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
You know the friend that I used
to love so dear
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
They've gone on to Glory, and
left me here
(Yes, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord)
When my feet get cold,
my eyes are shut
My body's been chilled by the
hands of death
Tongue glued to the roof of my
mouth
My hands lay folded across my
breast
You don't have to worry 'bout
the way I'll fair
God Almighty done told me He'll
be right there
Lift me, on the mighty wings
of love
Carry my soul to the Heavens up
above
They tell me Jordan is deep and
wide
But I promised Mother I'd see
her on the other side
Well, get away
(Get away Jordan)
Oh, get away
(Get away, ol' chilly Jordan)
Get way back
(Get back, get back, yes)
Oh, I wanna cross over to see
my Lord
"You're Gonna Miss Your Chance"
as by: The Clara Ward Singers
Keep on standing there finding faults
Keep on looking at everybody else carrying
a bad thought
You're gonna miss your chance to save
your soul
Keep right on sitting there gazing into
space
Keep on gossiping, walking from place
to place
You're gonna miss your chance to save
your soul
Your time is now, right now, right now,
right now
While the blood is still running warm
in your veins
Your time is now, right now, right now,
right now
While God is still extending His grace
If you want a good life
All you got to do is get to know Jesus
Christ
Don't just stand there, don't just sit
there
Don't go here and there and miss your
chance
To save your soul, your soul
Your time is now, right now, right now,
right now
While blood is still running warm in your
veins
Your time is now, right now, (fades out)
"All God's Children Will Be There"
by: Rev. F. C. Barnes
Oh, what a shame how they done my Lord
He bled and died on Calvary's cross
He has gone to prepare a place
He's coming back again
We'll meet Him over in Glory one day
(chorus)
Yes, all God's children will be there
In that great home gathering in the air
We're gonna shout around the throne
In that big and beautiful home
They'll be coming from every nation
Coming from all generations
They'll be no more segregation
We're gonna have a good time up there
Up there will be all the saints of God
They're coming from every nation- all
over this world
When our work down here is done
And our race is run
I wanna hear my Savior say "Well done"
(chorus)
When i get there, shall I look for you
I'm doing all I can to make it through
We must give up all of our sins
It's the only way to make it through
I wanna hear my Savior say, "You made
it through"
(chorus)
