Saved, Saved (Kelly)

1. Jesus stepped out on the Galilee shore
A man who was needy cried out to the Lord
For years he'd been bound up in shackles and chains
But when Jesus had spoken the man gladly proclaimed

(Chorus)
I'm saved, saved, wondrously saved
My soul has been rescued from death and the grave
I'm saved, saved, gracefully saved
His grace now abounds and my spirit set free

2. For years I had dwelled in the tombs of despair
To live or to die, at times didn't care
My life lay in ruin, my heart wrapped in sin
But I met the Savior and my new life began

Repeat Chorus

(Bridge)
No longer a slave, I'm a child of the King
I'm an heir to my Father who owns everything
The life I once lived is counted but loss
My sins have been covered by the blood of the cross

Repeat Chorus

1. I've found a Friend who is all to me
His love is ever true
I love to tell how He lifted me
And what His grace can do for you

(Chorus)
Saved (by His power) by His power divine
Saved (to new life) to new life sublime
Life now is sweet and my joy is complete
For I'm saved, saved, saved!

2. When poor and needy and all alone
In love He said to me
"Come unto Me and I'll lead you home
"To live with Me eternally"

Repeat Chorus

1. Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace,
Sleep in Heavenly peace

2. (narration)
Silent night, oh, such a holy night
Shepherds tremble at the very sight of dawn
Like a beautiful rainbow glories stream from Heaven above
And all the angels of Heaven were sing Alleluia, Alleluia
For, you see, Christ the Savior was born

Sleep in Heavenly peace,
Sleep in Heavenly peace


Sin Will Take You Farther

1. As a child I foolishly turned God away
Not knowing the heartache a sinner must face
But God in His goodness has let me return
To share with His children this lesson I've learned

(Chorus)
Sin will take you farther than you wanna go
Slowly but wholly taking control
Sin will leave you longer than you wanna stay
Sin will cost you far more than you wanna pay

2. So with pleasure and promises sin took control
Leaving me dying with nothing to show
Gone were my loved ones and my dearest friends
Only a Savior could love me again

Repeat Chorus twice

(Tag)
Sin will cost you far more wanna pay


So Dearly

     Albums: Jesus is Coming Soon (1969)

So dearly, so dearly He loves me
He turns my dark skies into blue
So dearly, so dearly He loves me
And how could I not love Him too?


(Chorus)
The One that gave me peace supplies my every need
He wipes away the cares of every day
When I'm tired, I find sweet rest
He's the dearest, He's the best
Oh what joy to walk with Him along the way

And someday, someday He will call me
To a land that's so lovely to see
And someday, someday He's gonna call me
And I'll live with Him eternally

Repeat Chorus

So I Love Him Dearly
     Author: George Younce

     Album: One at a Time (1978)

Once I lived a life so sad and lonely
I really didn't have a friend to care
One day I found Jesus as my Savior
He changed my life completely then and there
Now I have this One to whom I turn to
When storms of life around me rise and swell
So I love Him dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

I've seen the beauty this world has to offer
I've seen the mountains reaching for the sky
But one day I saw Jesus in a vision
Sweet love for me was burning in His eye
Then I cried, "Lord Jesus, please forgive me"
A voice then softly whispered, "All is well"
So I love Him dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

If some friend from old days asks about me
I smile and say I'm doing mighty fine
I know there will be some who truly doubt me
But doubting me don't bother peace of mind
I tell them all how Jesus really saved me
There's ringing in my heart a joy, a bell
So I love Him dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell

So I love Him dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell


Somebody Loves Me

     Album: The Last Sunday (1973)
     Album: Raise the Roof (1994)

1. I'm in love with my Savior and
He's in love with me
He is with me from day to day
What a friend is He
Watches over me when I sleep
Hears me when I pray
I'm as happy as I can be
And I can say

(Chorus)
Somebody loves me, answers my prayers
I love somebody, I know He cares
Somebody tells me not to repine
That somebody is Jesus and I know He's mine

2. Then at last when our work is done
He will lead us home
To a mansion He has prepared
Never more to roam
We'll sit down by the riverside
Cares all passed away
And with never a pain to bear
What a happy day

Repeat Chorus


Somebody Touched Me
     Authors: Savana Foust.

     Album: The Prestigious Cathedral Quartet (1984)

1. Many years he walked in darkness
As he groped along the streets
With his hands stretched out for pennies
Or for just a bite to eat
It's the story of the blind man
Who met Jesus on his way
And with the Master's touch, the man looked up
As the scoffers heard him say

(Chorus)
Somebody touched me
Somebody touched me
I was blind, but praise His name, I now can see
I was in darkness when Jesus found me
But since He touched me I now am free

2. One day He touched the crippled man
And made him walk again
And the Master saw with pleasure
He had labored not in vain
Like the story of that crippled man
I once was bound by sin
But since the Master came, oh, praise His name
Thank God, I now can say

Repeat Chorus twice

(Tag)
I was in darkness when Jesus found me
But since He touched me, thank God I'm free


Stand By Me

1. When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship upon the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water
Stand by me

2. When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When my life becomes a burden
And I'm nearing chilly Jordan
O Thou Lily of the Valley
Stand by me

1. Now if you wanna live for Jesus
And if you wanna turn your life around
If you wanna take them bad old ways
And if you wanna put them all down
If you wanna meet Him up yonder
When He calls us to His heavenly throne
You gotta born all over again
To get to the loading zone

(Chorus)
Standing in the loading zone
Waiting in the loading zone
You gotta be born all over again
To get to the loading zone

2. Now if you wanna do things His way
And if you really want to save your soul
If you wanna know just how it feels
To let God have control
And when this life on earth is over
Are you gonna be prepared to move on?
Will you know for sure that your load is saved
And that you're standing in the loading zone?

Repeat Chorus twice


Step Into the Water

(Chorus)
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Wet your feet in the water of His love
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Come join angels singing praise to the Lamb of God

1. It's time we, the people, stand up for what is right
It's time we squared our shoulders back and raised our swords to fight
For the Bible is my weapon and the Spirit is my shield
The Church needs more of its members to be workers in the field

Repeat Chorus

2. There is victory for the Christian who walks the narrow way
There has been a prize appointed for the soul who does not stray
Though I want to live for Jesus, and be all that I can be
So that I can rest with Him forever, live eternally

Repeat Chorus twice






Still Drinking Water From the Well
     Author: Larry Petree
     Copyright: Homeward Bound Music
     Album: Raise the Roof (1994)

1. I took a drink from some life-giving water
In this dry desert land where I dwelt
And my cup's overflowing, gives me joy, makes me sing
'Cause I'm still drinking water from the well

(Chorus)
Oh, yes, I'm still drinking water from the well overflowing
From that clear crystal fountain, watch it flow, watch it swell
And my soul's satisfied, and I'm happy, can't you tell?
'Cause I'm still drinking water from the well

2. They pieced his side and a fountain was opened
From a spear and those three rusty nails
And it thrills me just knowing that my friends I can bring
And they too can drink water from the well

Repeat Chorus twice

(Tag)
And my soul's satisfied, and I'm happy, can't you tell?
'Cause I'm still drinking water from the well


Sweet Bye and Bye

1. There's a land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see it afar
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there

(Chorus)
In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
In the sweet bye and bye
We shall meet on that beautiful shore

Narration: Eyes have not seen, and ears have not heard
What God has in store for His children



Sweet Hour of Prayer
     Author: W.W. Walford, W.B. Bradbury
     Copyright: Public Domain
     Albums: Beyond the Sunset (1964)

1. Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer

And since He bids me seek His face
Believe His Word, and trust His grace
I'll cast on Him my every care
And wait for thy return, sweet hour of prayer



Sweet Relief

     Albums: Jesus is Coming Soon (1969)

Sweet relief, sweet relief
Jesus gives a happy song

1. Like a love of a mother waiting at the old home-gates
When she sees her boy returning and kiss the teardrops from his face
Like a comfort that comes to Daddy when the newborn baby's here
And like the joy of seeing loved ones who've been gone for many years

(Chorus)
Sweet relief when you come to the Savior
Sweet relief when you live in His favor
There for now no condemnation, all your guilt and shame is gone
Sweet relief, sweet relief, Jesus gives a happy song

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)
Jesus gives sweet relief
