Up & Away

Verse 1

I remember the time, I remember the day

my load got lighter, and my chains fell away

but another day's coming, and it won't be long

I can't wait to see Jesus coming for me, he's gonna take me home.

Chorus

I'm gonna go up, up and away

I'm gonna go ride on a cloud someday

I'll wave goodbye when this life is through

Some glorious day, I'll go up and away beyond the blue.

Verse 2

I don't need your plane, flying me through the air

For where I'm going, it won't get me there

When that trumpet sounds, and God calls for me

I'm gonna take to the sky, brother, I'm gonna fly

to that heavenly street.

Jesus Saves

Verse 1

You've heard it from the pulpit, from a thousand chiming steeples

From beneath the pew as you drifted off to sleep

You've heard it from the preacher, from your Sunday school teacher

You've heard it till you thought everyone knew

But the years have come and gone and so many things have changed

In spite of passing time, this truth remains

Chorus

Jesus saves still today

He still holds the power to wash your sins away

Jesus saves still today

His grace is still enough to cover your mistakes

Jesus saves still today

Verse 2

Maybe you feel distant from the God you knew in childhood

Maybe life has bruised and shaken your belief

It's not what you expected and now you feel rejected

But he's close enough to touch if you'll just reach

For he's never for a moment lost site of where you are

He's waiting now and listening for your call

Bridge

It's the one things that is certain in a world that's sure to change

There is peace and sweet contentment when you call upon his name.

Peace Like A River

Verse 1

The sun is sinking slowly in the west

I'm rocking on the front porch counting all the ways I'm blessed

The summer wind is blowing on the dogwood trees

I close my eyes and thank the Lord for peace

Chorus

I've got peace like a river flowing free from the father's throne

I've got joy, joy like a fountain

I've got peace like a river in my soul

Verse 2

Many fortunes have been lost to find

That you don't need a nickel to enjoy some peace of mind

It passes understanding and still confounds the wise

It comes to those who come just like a child

Bridge

Peace, peace, like a river

Glorious Appearing

Verse 1

Blow the trumpet loud in Zion, sing the song to spread the word

For the time is quickly passing, there are souls who have not heard

Chorus

There's a glorious appearing that is coming any day

For the time of Christ is nearing and he could be on his way

He may call us home at midnight, he may split the sky at noon

There's a glorious appearing that is coming any day.

Verse 2

As we watch the news unfolding, we can clearly see the signs

What the bible said would happen is right here before our eyes

Hope Lives Again

Verse 1

After three days, they went to the grave, that held the body of their Lord

But the sunrise revealed, the stone that had sealed, His tomb

was rolled from the door

Then an angel appeared and said, why seek the living among the dead

Chorus

Hallelujah, He is risen, Hallelujah, hope lives again

Death has died and sin’s forgiven

The grave could never hold him, the crucified is now alive, let the celebration begin

Hallelujah, he is risen, Hallelujah, hope lives again

Bridge

Resurrection day proclaims, Hallelujah, he is risen

Every promise still remains, hope lives again

That empty tomb, still testifies, Hallelujah, he is risen

Christ the Lord now reigns on high, come worship him

39 Chapters Later

Verse 1

In Job chapter 3 finds a man in great sorrow

Mourning the loss of his houses and lands

His children are gone, his body is broken

He lies in the ashes unable to stand

In Job chapter 3, satan has tried him

But God set a limit, you can't take his life

This was the scene of such conversation

Job lay in hopelessness wanting to die

Chorus

But 39 chapters later he rose

Up from the ashes coming forth gold

From the fire of his trials, Job knew God was greater

39 chapters later

Verse 2

Your in chapter 3 and you want a way out

The journey's too hard, will this be your demise?

Doubt makes you weary, but faith moves you on

In 39 chapters, you will arise, in 39 chapters, you will arise

God's Been Faithful

Verse 1

When the Lord found me wandering aimlously

Lost and lonely, hope was gone

There he saved my soul, gave me peace untold

He's been the rock that I've depended on

Chorus

God's been faithful, he's been faithful

No matter the struggle, whatever my need

In my darkest hour, there's healing power

God's been faithful, faithful to me

Verse 2

Through the years he's been my unfailing friend

Every longing satisfied

On the mountain high, through the desert dry

He's brought me through my trials every time

Not Givin' In To Givin' Up

Verse 1

I keep on runnin into trouble, my problems start to double

Every time I try to find a way out

Of this life I’m less than living, I’m far from being driven

In this prison, better known as self-doubt

I feel like throwin in the towel, just quitting here and now

But I know that won’t solve a thing

So I’ll keep a pressing on and quit dis-stressing

Cause I still got a song to sing

Chorus

I’m not given in to given up,

I’m still drinking from a Heavenly cup

I’m overflowing with the Saviors love,

I’ve had some bad days, but I’m rising above

My circumstances are getting better it seems,

My situations are looking brighter to me

So when it feels like the door to living is shut

I’m not given in to given up

Verse 2

Well now I’m finally believin this comfort I’m receivin

Is relieving me from the depths of despair

Since I’ve made a resolution to drop my own conclusions

And trust that he will always be there

I’m no longer in a hurry to run back in to worry

For I’ve set my sights on something more

It’s more than just a feelin since he began revealin

All the things he has in store

But For A Cross

Verse 1

All that I am, all I will be, I owe it all, To Calvary

For there on a hill, there in my place

My pardon was purchased, my guilt was erased.

Chorus

But for a Cross, but for a thorny Crown

I would be lost, no hope of being found

I could not pay redemptions cost

Where would I be today, but for a Cross

Verse 2

Still stained with blood, it stands today

And cries forgive them, atonement made

All who are bound, can be let go free

For mercy still flows down that old rugged tree

Verse 3

One day I’ll stand on heavens shore

Praising the lamb I’ve long adored

In one mighty voice that heavenly throne

Will gather around him and join in the song

When You Say Jesus

Verse 1

In the time of your troubles

When you breath a desperate prayer

Words sound so empty, suspended in the air

If you want to touch Heaven, and be sure your prayer is heard

Every thing your soul cries for comes down to just one word.

Chorus

When you say Jesus, you already said it all

He sees your heartache; he’s there before you call

Storms cease their raging, the moment he speaks

When you say Jesus, Jesus says peace.

Bridge

His name's a shelter, a secure hiding place

His name's higher than any mountain you face

Thank You Now

Verse 1

Before this trial is finally passed, before the fear is gone

Before this pain subsides at last and once again I'm strong

Chorus

Thank you now for the mercy that I know will see me through

Thank you now for the grace that can only come from you

Though I can’t see the reason why or understand just how

Lord, I know your faithful, so thank you now.

Verse 2

Lord so many times you've proved just how good you are to me

So before this mountain moves my song to you will be

One Well

Verse 1

Do you thirst, is your spirit dry?

Do you need a drink from a faithful supply?

Oh I found a source of that life cleansing flow

It will quench your thirst, it will save your soul

Chorus

Theres only one well, where you can draw living water

Only one well, that will never run dry

No other fountain flows from the father

Only one well, one way, Jesus Christ

Verse 2

There are wells that are made by man

Where you fill your cup and your thirsty again

But the living well satifies evermore

Just a drop will do when it's from the Lord

The Day Death Died

Verse 1

The shadow of death had covered us all

Doomed, born to die, since Adams fall

Till the great debt of sin that no man could pay

Was finally settled one glorious day

Chorus

The day death died, the world was set free

For the lamb crucified broke sins curse on Calvary

And the power that raised him from the grave

Will raise us to eternal life,

The veil was torn and hope was born

On the day death died.

Verse 2

Now you who believe don't fear anything

The grave has no hold and death has no sting

He'll carry you safe across the divide

And you'll live forever since death has died
