"The Christian's Testimony"
Down here I'm talked about
Lied upon, deceived a lot
But I'm willing, oh, so willing
A cross to bear
One day I'm gonna walk about
See the sun
Talk about this ol' race I've run
For I know in his glory I'm gonna
share
Didn't you say in your holy word
No good thing from you withold
I best not walk upright before you
So, I am walking everyday
Up the straight and narrow way
For I know you'll be there
To carry me through
Oh, didn't you deliver
(The Hebrew Children)
Didn't you fight
(Joshua's battle)
Didn't you let
(Peter walk the water)
Aren't you Daniel's
(Stone a-rolling)
Aren't you a rock
(In the weary land)
Won't you help me
(When I need a hand)
Leading me, holding me
Showing me, telling me
About the crosses, bout the crosses
of old
Walk the streets, walk the streets
of gold
See the portals, see the portals unfold
It___________
Is___________
Joy__________
Oh, Lord, Lord
In that homeland of the soul
Oh, didn't you deliver
(The Hebrew Children)
Didn't you fight
(Joshua's battle)
Didn't you let
(Peter walk the water)
Aren't you Daniel's
(Stone a-rolling)
Aren't you a rock
(In the weary land)
Won't you help me
(When I need a hand)
Leading me, holding me
Showing me, telling me
About the crosses, bout the crosses
of old
Walk the streets, walk the streets
of gold
See the portals, see the portals unfold
It___________
Is___________
Joy__________
Oh, Lord, Lord
In that homeland of the soul
"There's A Brighter Day Ahead"
There's a brighter day ahead
For Jesus has said
If by him we will be led
There's a brighter day ahead
There is a brighter day ahead
In God's word we read
If we trust him, he said
There's a brighter day ahead
All up the road
Far in a distance
We can see the light shining bright
Yes, it's penetrating life's heavy
falls
Oh, with Jesus, he can conquor all
Oh, his light shining brightly
As we move close to him
In him there's a light
That will never, never grow dim
There's a brighter day
A brighter day, a brighter day
A brighter day
A brighter day lies ahead for me
Yeah, all up the road
Far in a distance
We can see the light shining bright
Yes, it's penetrating life's heavy
falls
Oh, with Jesus, he can conquor all
Oh, his light shining brightly
As we move close to him
In him there's a light
That will never, never grow dim
There's a brighter day
A brighter day, a brighter day
A brighter day
A brighter day lies ahead for me
"These Are They"
It was on a Lord's day morning
Out on a lonely isle
In the beauty of the dawning, oh yes
As John was in exile
He heard a voice resounding
Across the rolling sky, yeah, the
rolling sky
Oh, like mighty, yes, like mighty
billows bounding
Oh, John fell down on, yes, his knees
Well, these are they
From every, Lord, every na-nation
Who have washed, washed their gar-garments
Washed, washed them white
Oh, we coming on up
Coming on up through great tribulations
Oh, as they march, march all around
By God's throne
(rpt)
"What Then"
When the choir has sung it's last
anthem
And the preacher has prayed his last
prayer
When the people have heard their last
sermon
And the sound has died out, out there
When the Bible lay closed on the alter
And the pews are lifted of men
And the world that rejected it's Savior
Will be asked for reason, what
then
What then, what then
When the great book is opened
And a world that rejected it's Savior
Will be asked for reason, what then
"The Velvet Rose"
From his soul came
a valious deed
And the tall trees reaching to the
sky
And the mighty ocean and the mountain
steep
And the hills and the river flowing
by
From his lips came a symphony
And the birds took wing and filled
the sky
But his dear heart was yearning for
someone like me
And his heart kept on burning with
desire
So, from his heart created me
Oh, to love him was my only goal
And I can not rest until eternity
Where his heart keeps on yearning
for my soul
From his hands came a velvet rose
And the autumn leaves of yellow and
gold
But his deart heart was yearning for
someone like me
Just to give all the loving in his
soul
So, from his heart created me
Oh, to love him was my only goal
And I can not rest until eternity
Where his heart keeps on yearning
for my soul
Where his heart keeps on yearning
for my soul
"Highway Up To Heaven"
It's a highway to heaven
None can walk up there
But the pure at heart
It's a highway to heaven
Walkin up the King's highway
(rpt)
Well, my way gets brighter
My load gets lighter
Walking up the King's highway
Oh, Christ walks beside me
Angels will guide me
Walkin up the King's highway
(chorus)
Oh, if you're not walking
Start while I'm talking
Walkin up the King's highway
Oh, Christ walks beside me
Angels will guide me
Walking up the King's highway
It's a highway to heaven
None can walk up there
But the pure at heart
It's a highway to heaven
I'm walkin up the King's highway
Walkin up the King's highway
Walkin up the King's highway
Singing up the King's highway
Praying up the King's highway
Shouting up the King's highway
Going up the King's highway
Run up the King's highway
Singing up the King's highway
High, high, high, high
Walking up the King's highway
Well, it's a highway up to heaven
None can walk up there but the pure
at heart
It's a highway up to heaven
I'm walking up the King's highway
"Nobody But You Lord"
Nobody but you
Nobody but you, Lord
Can make me holy, o Lord
Can make me true
When I was in trouble
You brought me through
It was nobody but you
Oh, Lord, it was nobody but you
When I was a little girl
My mother died and left me
Seems I didn't have no one
Walking by my side
Lord, you took my hand
And you led me through
That's why I know, o Lord
I can always depend on you
(chorus)
In this life of mine
There were mountains so hard to climb
Sometimes I felt like I was losing
my mind
But I heard a voice say
"I am the way"
"And I will lead you on to a brighter
day"
(chorus)

"I'd Rather Have Jesus"
You know, I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver and gold
I'd rather be His
Than to have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than houses or land
I'd rather be led
By his nail-pierced hands
Then to be a king of vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus
Than anything
This ol' world can afford today
(rpt)
"I'm Grateful"
I look up at the heavens when day
is through
Once again there's a good day I owe
to you
With a world to watch over, still
you watch me too
I'm grateful, grateful
When I sit at my table I say a prayer
For the good things upon it that you
put there
And my loved ones around me, not an
empty chair
I'm grateful, grateful
You have sent me good times
You have sent me bad times
Through the good and bad times
You always send me a song to sing
When I lye on my pillow, I'm thankful
for
All the wonderes you've given and
more in store
And you in your kindness wakes me
up once more
I'm grateful
Grateful
Lord, to thee.
"In My Home Over There"
When my work on earth is done
At the setting of life's sun
I am going to my home over there
And I shall walk the golden stairs
And I'll be free from every care
I'll be happy in my home over there
In my home over there
That the Lord did prepare
There's gonna be peace
There's gonna be joy everywhere
And I shall see His face so fair
And a starry crown I'm going to wear
I'll be happy in my home over there
"Until Then"
My heart can sing
When I pause to remember
A heart
ache here is but a stepping stone
Along the trail that's winding always
upward
This troubled world is not my final
home
The things of earth
Shall dim and lose it's value
If we recall, they're borrowed for
a while
And all the things of earth that cause
heart trouble
Remember there will only bring a smile
But until then my heart shall go on
singing
But until then with joy I'll carry
on
Until my eyes behold the city
Until that day God calls me home
"Let The Power Of The Holy Ghost Fall
On Me"
Well, oh Lord
Cry Lord, Lord hear my plea
Well, oh, oh Lord
I want the power of the Holy Ghost
To fall on me
(rpt)
Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on
me
Let the essence of his holy love fall on me
Let the peace and love from above fall on
me
Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me
Let the joy that comes from doing my best
fall on me
Let the love that flows from breast to breast
fall on me
Give me strength and I may do best (on me)
I want the power of the Holy Ghost to fall
on me
(chorus)
"I Thought Of You & Said A Little Prayer"
This morning when I woke up
And saw the sun above
I softly said "Good morning, Lord"
"Bless everyone I love"
Then right away, I thought of you
And I said a little prayer
That he would bless us especially
And keep us free from care
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store
I wished it all for you
Because no one deserved it more
I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow
I know God hears my prayer for you
He hears them all, you know
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store
I wished it all for you
Because no one deserved it more
I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow
I know God hears my prayer for you
He hears them all, you know
"He's A Light Unto My Pathway"
He's a light unto my pathway
He's a lamp unto my feet
When in darkness
I will grow big
He showed the way to be (me)
Glorious living
Yes, it pinned me on his word
He's always giving
And every prayer is heard
But when I pray
It's with Thanksgiving
At the throne
With enemies
He's a light unto my pathway
He's a lamp, Lord, unto my feet
"There Is No Colorline Around The Rainbow"
The white man's moon
Is the black man's moon
The white man's stars
Are a black man's stars
The white man's sunshine's
The black man's sunshine too
The lil' birds singing on yonder's brow
The don't seem to care no how
If your skin is black
If your skin is white
If you want to listen
They'll sing all night
There is no colorline around the rainbow
There's no colorline deep in the sea
There is no colorline around red roses
Roses grow the same for you and for me
And when you close your eyes
And open your heart
You and the world are just buddies
Black or white
White or black
Angels don't seem to care
If there's no colorline up in Heaven
Good Lord, send me up there
"Dig A Little Deeper"
Nearer to thee I want to be
I wanna dig a little deeper in the storehouse
of his love
I wanna shine with love sublime, o, Lord
I wanna dig a little deeper in the storehouse
of his love
Oh, Lord, I wanna dig a little deeper in God's
love
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in the storehouse of his
love, oh, Lord
I wanna talk more like a Christian should
Walk more like my Jesus would
I wan' dig a little deeper in the storehouse
of his love
(rpt)
I want to do what's always true
I wanna dig a little deeper in the storehouse
of his love
Each passing hour, o, Lord, I want more power,
my Lord
I wanna dig a little deeper in the storehouse
of his love
Oh, Lord, I wanna dig a little deeper in God's
love
Dig a little deeper in God's love
Dig a little deeper in the storehouse of his
love, oh, Lord
I wanna talk more like a Christian should
Walk more like my Jesus would
I wan' dig a little deeper in the storehouse
of his love
(rpt)
"Be Still My Soul"
Be still, my soul
The Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God
To order and provide
In every change He faithful will remain
Be still my soul
Thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways
Leads to a joyful end
Be still, my soul
Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future
As he has in the past
Thy hope, thy confidence
Let nothing shake
All now mysterious
Shall be bright at last
Be still my soul
The wind and waves still know
Hias voice who ruled
Them while he dwelled below

"Run All The Way"
Use me, Lord, in thy service
Draw me nearer, Lord, everyday
I'm willing to run all the way
If I faulter while I'm trying
Don't be angry, just let me stay
I'm willing to run all the way
Wasted days, now behind me
Evening sun is sinking fast
Every moment draw me closer
To the end, oh, to the end
I'm gonna hurry, yes, in your service
If you only let me in
I'm willing to run all the way
"Blessed Quietness"
Joys are flowing like a river
Since the comforter has come
He abides with us forever
Makes the trusting heart His home
Blessed quietness, holy quietness
What assurance, good Lord, I have in my soul
Out on the stormy sea, my Lord speaks to me
And the billow seem (cease) to roll
Springing in to joy and gladness
All around this glorious Guest
Banished unbelief and sadness
Just obey and God, He'll do the rest
Blessed quietness, holy quietness
What assurance, good Lord, I have in my soul
Out on the stormy sea, my Lord speaks to me
And the billow seem (cease) to roll
"Because His Name Is Jesus"
In vain I've tried a thousand ways
My fears took well, my hope to raise
But what I need through all my days
Is Jesus- it's Jeesus
He died for me- He lived, he plead
There's love in all his words and deed
He's all a guilty sinner needs
It's Jesus- it is Jesus
"Live The Life I Sing About"
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my
song
I'm gonna stand for right and always shun
the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone
On the streets, or in my home
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my
song
(rpt)
Everyday, everywhere
On the busy thoroughfare
Folk may watch me
Some may spot me
Say I'm foolin', but I don't care
I can't sing one thing and then live another
Be a 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 wanna do what's right
I can't go to church and shout all day Sunday
Go out and get drunk and raise sand on a
Monday
I've got to live the life I sing about in
my song
(chorus)
(extra verse)
I'm not for gold, nor for fame
But for the love of Jesus name
I must always walk the straight
Straight and narrow way
Jesus promised me one of these days
He will wash all my sins away
(He's gonna give me a crown of life)
Yeah, I've got to live the life I sing about
in my song
(chorus)
"I Surrender All"
All to Jesus, I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to Thee, my blessed Savior
I surrender all
"Abide With Me"
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me
Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine throught the gloom and point me to
the sky
Heaven's morn' breaks and earth vain shadows
flee
In life and death, oh Lord, abide with me
"The Holy Bible"
The Holy Bible
God's gift to you
The Holy Bible
Will see you through
When you are weary
And need a friend
Turn to your Bible
And your trouble will end
The Holy Bible
Will lead you right
And you will see life
In a brighter light
Have faith and follow
God's word to you
In all His wisdom
He'll see you through
"I Believe"
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come and show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smalles prayer
Will still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
Everytime I hear a new-born baby cry
Or touch a leaf, or see the sky
Then I know why I believe
"Brown Baby"
Brown baby, brown baby
As you grow up
I want you to drink from the plenty
cup
I want you to stand up tall and proud
And I want you to speak up clear and
loud
Brown baby
Brown baby, brown baby
As the years roll by
I want you to go with your head held
high
I want you to live by the justice
code
I want you to walk down freedom's
road
Brown baby
Now, lie away, lie away sleeping
Lie away safe in my arms
Til your daddy and mommy protect you
And keep you safe from harm
Oh, you little brown baby
Brown baby, it makes me glad
You gonna have things that I never
had
When out of men's heart all hate is
hurled
You gonna live in a better world
Brown baby
"Summertime/Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless
Child"
Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your Daddy is rich and your Ma is good
lookin'
So, hush lil' baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings, you gonna rise up
singin'
You gonna hoist your wings- take to the sky
But 'til that morning, nothing can harm you
With Dad and Mommy, they'll be standing by
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Just a long ways from my home
Oh, long ways from home
(Moan)
Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your Daddy is rich and your Ma is good

So, hush lil' baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings, you gonna rise up
singin'
You gonna hoist your wings, oooh,take to
