I'm Winging My Way Back Home

 

 

Verse 1

Down deep in my soul (Down deep in my soul)
A melody rings (A melody rings)
I’m winging my way 
(I'm winging) (My way back home) 
A sinner is saved... (A sinner is saved)
My spirit now sings (My spirit now sings)
I’m winging my way 
(I'm winging) (My way back home)

 

Chorus

I’m climbing each day (Every day)
Since Jesus is mine (Truly mine)
I travel the road (Narrow road)
To glory divine (To glory divine)
The way is called straight (The way is called straight)
That enters the gate (That enters the gate)
I’m winging my way 
(I'm winging) (My way back home)

 

Verse 2

A wonderful time (A wonderful time)
Is waiting ahead (Is waiting ahead)
I’m winging my way 
(I'm winging) (My way back home) 
I mean to be there (I mean to be there)
From sin I have fled (From sin I have fled)
I’m winging my way 
(I'm winging) (My way back home)

 

 

 

 

Sweet Beulah Land

 

 

Verse 1

I'm kind of homesick for a country To which I've never been before.

No sad goodbyes will there be spoken For time won't matter anymore.

 

Chorus

Beulah Land, I'm longing for you

And some day on thee I'll stand

There my home shall be eternal

Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land

 

Verse 2

I'm looking now, just across the river

To where my faith, shall end in sight

There's just a few more days to labor.

Then I will take my heavenly flight.

 

 

 

 

Going Home

 

 

Verse 1

Many times in my in child hood when we've traveled so far
By nightfall how weary I'd grown
Fathers arms would slip around me and gently he'd say
My child were going home

 

Chorus

Going home, I'm going home
There is nothing to hold me here
I've caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land
Praise God, I'm going home

 

Verse 2

Now the twilight is fading, the day soon shall end
Lord, I get homesick, the farther I roam
But the Father has led me each step of the way
And now I'm going home

 

 

 

 

When I Pass Through The Gates

 

 

Verse 1

When I pass through the gates for the first time
And that beautiful city I see
And I look on the face of Jesus
Oh what glory that moment will be

 

Chorus

All the things of this world will just fade away
And my burden will never be known
The tears will all dry and will never more cry
Oh what glory that moment will be

 

Verse 2

When I kneel at His feet for the first time
And His radiant beauty I see
Just to know that I'll be with Him forever
Oh what glory that moment will be

 

Verse 3

When I stand in my mansion for the first time
With the loved ones I'm longing to see
There to know it's for real, I'm in Heaven
Oh what glory that moment will be

 

 

 

 

O Happy Day

 

 

Verse 1

O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

 

Refrain

He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day. O Happy day, O happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!

 

Verse 2

’Tis done: the great transaction’s done!
I am the Lord’s and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

 

 

 

 

An Old Convention Song

 

 

Verse 1

We used to come from miles around, have dinner on the ground
Underneath those old shade trees
And sing the old songs in shaped notes, in four part harmony
Like “He Set Me Free” and “He’ll Pilot Me” and “Anywhere Is Home”
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song

 

Chorus

I still love to hear those old convention songs
That I heard as a child as we sing them all day long
Like “I’m Gonna Walk and “Just A LittleTalk”
And “All The Day Long”
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song

 

Verse 2

Gospel songs today have a lot to say
They lift you up when you're feeling down
Some have a country flavor
Some have a modern sound
They all serve a need of planting seeds
So I know they can’t go wrong
But there is none so dear as when I hear
An old convention song

 

Chorus 2

How long has it been
Since you heard “After Awhile”
How long since you heard “Give The World A Smile”
How long since you heard “I’m Winging My Way Back Home”
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
 

 

 

 

 

Mansion Over The Hilltop

 

 

Verse 1

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below,
A little silver and a little gold;
But in that city where the ransomed will shine,
I want a gold one that's silver-lined.

 

Chorus

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we'll never grow old;
And someday yonder we will never more wander,
But walk the streets that are purest gold.

 

Verse 2

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely,
I'm not discouraged, I'm heaven bound;
I'm just a pilgrim in search of a city,
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown.

 

 

 

I Can Tell You The Time

 

 

Verse 1

I remember the time when in darkness I wondered (farther from home)
On the mountain of sin, I had traveled so long (I had traveled so long)

Like the prodigal son all my good I had squandered (sadly I roamed)
But the Savior came in and He gave me a song

 

Chorus

I can tell you now the time (I can tell you the time), I can take you to the place (I can show you the place)
Where the Lord saved me (where the Lord saved me) by His wonderful grace (by His wonderful grace)
But I can not tell you how (for I know not the how) and I can not tell you why (and I know not the why)
But He'll tell me all about it (He will tell me all about it) in the by and by (in the by and by)

 

Verse 2

I can never forget when He spoke to me gently (follow thou me)
In the fountain of life there's a balm for your soul (there's a balm for your soul)
So I heeded His voice, He was speaking intently (glady I see)
Through His marvelous grace (through His marvelous grace) I am happy and whole (I am happy and whole)

 

 

 

 

Victory In Jesus

 

 

Verse 1

I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary
To save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins
And won the victory.

 

Chorus

O victory in Jesus,
My Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
With His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory,
Beneath the cleansing flood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To Be Used Of God

 

 

Verse 1

I've a yearning in my heart that cannot be denied

It's a longing that has never yet been satisfied

I want the world to know the one who loves them so

Like a flame, it's burning deep inside

 

Chorus

To be used of God, to sing, to speak, to pray

To be used of God, to show someone the way

I long so much to feel the touch of his consuming fire

To be used of God is my desire

 

Verse 2

When I think about the shortness of my earthly years

I remember all the wasted days, the wasted tears

I long to preach the word, to those who've never heard

Of the one who can dispel all fear

 

 

 

 

I Have A Song Inside

 

 

Verse 1

Everyday as on through life I go

There is one I know who loves me so, in him I can confide

But sometimes though the way seems dark and dreary

I know my Lord will keep me cheery, for I have a song inside

 

Chorus

I'm happy when all day long I sing a song

It makes my burdens seem so light

It seems when toils and cares will last for years

I still sing from early morn till night

Some people fret and frown and lie around

And worry hard with all their might

But Brother, I don't have to worry fret or frown

For I know my Lord is all around

I have a song inside

 

 

Verse 2

What's the use of knowing what to do

When your way seems very dark and blue, If you from Jesus hide

Instead just get right down upon your knees and pray

Then you'll always be so glad to say

I have a song inside

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since Jesus Passed By

 

 

Verse 1

Like a blind man I wandered, so lost and undone

A begger so helpless, without God or his son

When my Savior in mercy, heard and answered my cry

Oh what a difference since Jesus passed by

 

Chorus

Since Jesus passed by, since Jesus passed by

Oh what a difference since Jesus passed by

Oh I can't explain it, and I cannot tell you why

But oh what a difference since Jesus passed by

 

 

 

 

It's Just Like Heaven

 

 

Verse 1

My soul is living in sunlight and I'm going along

Rejoicing daily I'm singing, always singing a song

Oh yes I'm doing my best to shun the pathway of wrong

It's just like Heaven for Jesus is near

 

Chorus

My sins are gone, I'm going on

In the light from Heaven above, the Heaven's above

The King of Kings is by my side, he will safely guide

I'll follow him without a fear, there is naught to fear

Hallelujah, I am happy, going onward

And I know I shall not go astray

Tis sweetest joy to know that wherever I may go

It's just like Heaven for Jesus is near

 

Verse 2

My soul is singing the story of my Savior each day

And I am clinging still closer every step of the way

I know that Jesus will guide me and from Him I'll not stray

It's just like Heaven for Jesus is near
