GOD IS IN CONTROL
Twila Paris – 1993 Arlose Music / Mountain Spring Music

This is no time for fear this is a time for faith and determination - Don't lose the vision here, carried away by emotion - Hold on to all that you hide in your heart - There is one thing that has always been true - It holds the world together.

Chorus: God is in control; we believe that His children will not be forsaken ~ God is in control, we will choose to remember and never be shaken ~ There is no power above or beside Him we know, ohh ~ God is in control, ohhh, God is in control.

History marches on, there is a bottom line drawn across the ages ~ Culture can make its plan, oh but that line never changes ~ No matter how the deception may fly ~ There is one thing that has always been true ~ It will be true forever.

Chorus

Bridge: He has never let you down, why start to worry now ~ Why start to worry now ~ He is still the Lord of all we see ~ And He is still the loving Father watching over you and me ~ Watching over you, watching over me, ­Watching over everything ~ Watching over you, watching over me ~ Every little spar­row, every little king, every little king.

Chorus

HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US
Stuart Townend - 1995 Thankyou Music (PRS) - [Admin. worldwide by woshiptogether.com songs)

How deep the Father's love for us ~ How vast beyond all measure; ~ That He should give His only Son ~ To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss, ~ The Father turns His face away ~ As wounds which mar the Chosen One, ~ Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross, ~ My sin upon His shoulders; ~ Ashamed I hear my mocking voice ~ Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there ~ Until it was accomplished; ~ His dying breath has bro't me life ~ I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything ~ No gifts, no pow'r, no wisdom; ~ But I will boast in Jesus Christ, ~ His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward? ~ I can­not give an answer ~ But this I know with all my heart; ~ His wounds have paid my ransom

HE UNDERSTANDS MY TEARS Rebecca Isaacs Bowman. Sonya Isaacs. 2OOO RI Bowman Music / BMI / Miss Surrett Music/ (Admin by CGI)

It's hard to believe He still loves me ~ ­Knowing how wrong I have been ~ When all I can say is, "I'm sorry" ~ When 0111 can feel is my sin

Chorus: He understands when all I can do is cry ~ He feels the hurt that no one can see down inside ~ And when the words get in the way ~ I know He still hears ~ For He understands my tears

You may not believe that I'm broken ~ For all you can see is my smile ~ Oh, but He hears the heart that's unspoken ~ And He gives me strength through each trial

Chorus

Tag: Oh, and when the words get in the way ~ I know He still hears ~ For He understands, when no one else can ~ He understands my tears

Lyrics to Come On Let's Sing

The Reason, continued

Chorus

Bridge: Blessed assurance
Jesus is mine

Chorus

Why, tell me why, did the Son of God suffer
Why was He willing to die
Though often I struggle to answer this question
Still I know the reason
And you are that reason
Yes, we are the reason why

YOU CAN’T IMAGINE
Gerald Crabb and Sue C. Smith 2003 Christian Taylor Music/Crabb Town Music/BMI
(admin. by Daywind Music Publishing)/New Spring Publishing, Inc./ASCAP  (admin. by Brentwood-Benson Music Publishing, Inc.)

Two friends were talkin’ about God’s wonderful grace and love
One came from a Christian home,
The other’s life was tough
One met Jesus as a child
One was scarred from all he’d been
Though their lives were different
You would hear from each of them

Chorus: You can’t imagine what the Lord has done for me
I’d try to tell you but I doubt that I could ever make you see
What would I do without Him?
Where on earth would I be?
You can’t imagine what the Lord has done for me

If we were sharing
About the road we’ve traveled here
We’ve come from separate worlds
But mercy brought us near
No matter what we’ve done
We’re on common ground today
At the cross of Jesus
Every one of us can say

Chorus

WHILE I WAIT
Sheri LaFontaine 2002 Centergy Music/BMI (adm. by ICG)

One day I’m gonna sail away
I can hardly wait ‘till then
Longing for the city
Where rejoicing never ends
Maybe I’m impatient
But I want it all right now
I’ll start the celebration
All that heaven will allow

Chorus: While I wait I’ll keep on trying
To imagine like I’m already home
When He calls you’ll see me flyin’
To a land beyond the river where we’ll spend the sweet forever
I’ll start to celebrate while I wait

Some people think His coming
Is just our moment to fly
But I’ve found it’s a revelation
I can feel it inside
I’ll start the praises flowin’
On my last mile below
It’s my special way of showin’ Him
I’m ready to go

Chorus

Chorus

Tag: I’ll start to celebrate while I wait

IN THE SHADOW
Kirk Talley / I Knew Kirk Music/BMI

I will not lean to my own understanding
I will not trust in man’s philosophy
When my world is wrecked by confusion
I run to the refuge on my knees

Chorus: I will abide in the shadow of the Almighty
I will lean on His Everlasting Arms
I will rest in the Blessed Rock of Ages
Assured that in His shadow I am safe from harm

He said He would be the Light that lights my pathway
Time and time again, He has proven true
An ever present help in my troubled days
Exactly what He said, that’s what He’ll do

Chorus

GLORY IS WAITING
Phil & Carolyn Cross
Stamps Baxter Music/BMI

I’m unworthy to stand
In sweet glory land
But I know there’s a place in that city for me
A personal palace from the Savior’s own hands
Now shines in great beauty
For my eyes soon to see

Holy angels are gathering
And spreading their wings
Waiting to greet me
They’re preparing to sing
Precious loved ones
Are stirring around heaven’s throne
Longing for the day when God calls me home

Chorus: Oh what a meeting in heaven to be
What a glad moment to see
They’ve made preparation
For a happy celebration
Glory is waiting for me

They’ve made preparation
For a happy celebration
Glory is waiting for me

 

 

 

 

STAND BY THE RIVER
Dottie Rambo - 1979 John T. Benson Publishing Co/ASCP

The road's been long ~ I'm a little bit weary ~ Lot of miles behind me ~ But home's a lot nearer ~ I've got one more crossin' ~ It's a long way over ~ Won't ya stand by the river and wait for me

CHORUS: Stand by the river, Lord, and hold my tremblin' hand ~ Cradle me, sweet Jesus, from the cold dark sinking sand ~ This is one trip I can't take alone ~ I'm kinda anx­ious to get on home ~ So stand by the river and wait for me

You paved a road through the hills and the mountains ~ In the middle of the desert you placed a fountain ~ Now stand by me, Jesus ~ Through the cold deep waters ~ Won't you stand by the river and wait for me

Chorus

Chorus: Won't ya stand by the river, Lord, and hold my tremblin' hand ~ Cradle me, sweet Jesus, from the cold dark sinking sand ~ This is one trip I can't take alone ~ I'm kinda anxious to get on home so ~ Stand by the river, Stand by the river ~ Want ya to stand by the river and wait for me ~ Stand by the river, Stand by the river ~ Hmmm. ­Stand by the river, wait for me ~ Want ya to, Stand by the river ~ Stand by the river, Stand by the river, Stand by the river, ~ Wait for me

FOUR DAYS LATE
C_Aaron Wilburn, Roberta Wilburn – Winkin Music, Darby Corner Music (SESAC) .House of Aaron Music (BMI)

The news come to Jesus, ~ Please come fast, Lazarus is sick, and without Your help, he will not last" ~ Mary and Martha watched their brother die ~ They waited for Jesus, He did not come ~ And they wondered why

The death watch was over, buried four days ~ Somebody said, ~ He'll soon be here, the Lord's on His way ~ Martha ran to Him, and then she cried ~ "Lord, if You had been here, You could have healed him, ~ He'd still be alive."

Chorus: But You're four days late and all hope is gone ~ Lord we don't understand why You waited so long ~ But His way Is God's way, not yours or mine ~ And isn't it great when He's four days late ~ He's still on time

Jesus said, "Martha, show me the grave." ~ ­But she said, "Lord, you don't understand, he's been there four days" ~ The grave stone was rolled bock, then Jesus cried, ~ "Lazarus come forth," then somebody said, ~ "He's alive, he's alive."

You may be fighting a battle of fear ­~ You've cried to the Lord, "I need you now, but He has not appeared." ~ Friend, don't be discouraged, 'cause He's still the same ~ ­And He'll soon be here, He'll roll back the stone ~ And He'll call out your name.

Chorus: When He's four days late and all hope is gone ~ Lord we don't understand why You waited so long ~ But His way is God's way, not yours or mine ~ And isn't if great, when He's four late ~ And He's still on time

Tag: My God is great, when He's four late ~ He's still on time

ONE MORE SONG ABOUT JESUS
Michael Combs / Lamb Lover Music/BMI

Oh back in the days of my childhood
I remember Mama leadin’ the choir
Man they’d sing, make the joy bells ring
Woo it’d really light my fire

Oh they’d sing about the lovely Jesus
They’d sing about Calvary
And when they were through, all I could do
Was say “Mama sing one more for me”

Chorus:Won’t you sing me just one more song about Jesus
One more song about my Lord
Tell me how He saved us, tell me how he gave us
Life forever more
Can’t you sing me just one more song about Jesus
One more song about my King
Sing about the blood, sing about His love
Just sing, sing, sing

Now when you get downhearted
And when you start feelin’ blue
Nothing like a song can help you along
So this is what you oughta do
Just call up your radio station
And get that DJ on the line
And say, “I heard a song by an old gospel singer
Can you play it for me one more time!”

Chorus

Tag: Just sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing sing

THE REASON
Johnny Minick and Paul Jackson  2001 Trade Wind Publishing/Paul Jackson Music
(admin Trade Wind Publishing)/ASCAP

What kind of love was this sent from heaven
Reaching through darkness to me
Though so unworthy I welcomed His pardon
While asking, “Oh how could this be”

Chorus: Why, tell me why, did the Son of God suffer
Why was He willing to die
Though often I struggle to answer this question
Still I am the reason why

Though I am saved, I feel undeserving
Fighting my doubts constantly
But then I see Calvary and I am reminded
Just how much Jesus loves me
