Lyrics:
Oh Lord won't you come and take me home
Come and take me
home
Come and take me home
I've been so lonesome on my travels here
Who could be satisfied
without you near?
I've grown impatient and I just can't wait
So with
your comin' Lord, don't hesitate
Chorus:
Oh won't you come and take me home
Come and take me
home
Come and take me home
I'm so weary livin' here below
Come
and take me home
The way You bless me Lord, it's oh so fine
I'm very thankful for the
joy that's mine
With all I have now still it can't compare
With all
the happiness awaiting me there
Repeat Chorus
(Won't you come and take me home) Lord won't You take me home
(Come
and take me home) I need to go on home
(Come and take me home) I want
to see the precious Savior
(Come and take me home)
(Uh!) Oh Lord
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
Back on the job think I'm workin' too hard
Need a little break
'cause I'm feeling kinda tired
Rather be sittin' home sleepin' in the
yard
This day's getting' awful long
Then I remember what the Lord
told me
Gotta be a servant with humility
Need to keep in mind what
I'm called to be
When I'm weak He is strong
Chorus:
I'm livin' this day by day
Don't think I'd make it any
other way
But if the good Lord's a willin' and the creek don't
rise
I'm gonna make it to the other side
(Whistling)
Used to go to church, preacher went too long
Stand up, sit down,
sing another song
I was sittin' there but my mind was gone
When was
this gonna end (yawn)
Now I'm a-sittin' on the very front
row
Singing 'bout the Savior I've come to know
Guess I just need a
little time to grow
Finally came 'round the bend
(Now I'm livin'
this life)
Repeat Chorus
Back in the holler where the honeysuckle grows
Lives a little lady
I've come to know
Know that she loves me 'cause she told me so
And
that means a lot to me (marry that girl)
We got married on a moonlit
night
She promised she'd follow if I hold on tight
Lord's gonna lead
us to a brand new height
Only his eyes can see
Don't you know...
Repeat Chorus
Well if the good Lord's a willin' and the creek don't rise (We're
livin' this day by day)
We're gonna make it to the other side

Lyrics:
There is a story, speaks of glory, so I've learned
Knowing the
Savior, new behavior, through His words
Presence of power, at any hour,
I am sure
Through my trials, no denials, I'm secure
You might not
see why He cares
So I need to share (I need to share His love)
Chorus:
It's His love that shelters a wounded heart
It's His
strength to a spirit that's fallen apart
It's His faithful compassion
that always forgives
Through His death He has shown me how I should
live
It's the blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the
blood)
It's the blood that He sees when He looks at me
It's the
blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the blood)
It's the blood
that has made us free
It's the blood
I am committed, so I'm livin', standing firm
I'm still waiting,
anticipating, His return (I am going home)
His words are honest, and He
made a promise, of a place I'm going to (place I'm going to)
I know
what He's saying and I'm still praying that He'll come soon
Safe in His
arms is where I want be
I want to hold the hands that bled for me
Repeat Chorus
Oh, it's the blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the
blood)
It's the blood that He sees when He looks at me
It's the
blood (it's the blood), it's the blood (it's the blood)
It's the blood
that has made us free
It's the blood
I am going home
Scriptural Reference:
"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." Hebrews 10:19-22

Lyrics:
Regardless of who you are
Regardless of what you've done
He wants
you to know, He loves you so
Regardless
Regardless of where you've
been
Regardless of what you hide
There's no need to fear
He's
always here
Regardless
I came to Jesus on my knees, ashamed to lift my head
I could hardly
find the words, so this is what I said
There is so much wrong in my
life, I cannot make it right
I've been in the dark so long that I, I
cannot see the light
If I could believe someone could love me, there
might be a way
If I could only hear somebody say (say)
Chorus:
Regardless of who you are
Regardless of what you've
done
I want you to know, I love you so (He loves you
so)
Regardless
Regardless of where you've been
Regardless of what
you hide
There's no need to fear
I'm always here
Regardless
No matter what you've said or done (were before)
Or what you were
before
You can begin again (you can begin, He'll take you in)
He'll
take you in again
Repeat Chorus
I want you to know I love you so
Regardless

"If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him." Luke 17:4
Why Can't You Write A Song Without The Bad

(ASCAP)
Lead: Keith Lancaster and John Laws (stepouts)
Lyrics:
Chorus:
Why can't you write a song without the bad?
Without the
fornication that you've had
Without your lust and jealousy
Have you
lost all your decency?
Why can't you write a song without the bad?
Well, the preacher said "Care for you soul"
Don't listen to the
rock-and-roll
How country music is the purest, sweetest sound
Well
I'd believe that if I could
That all of it is so good
But decent
music is harder to be found
Repeat Chorus
I can't believe what they're trying to say
On the television every
day
How our music's come this far, it seems so sad (sad)
And the
radio's getting rough
You know I really think we've all had
enough
The new songs to be good don't have to be bad (don't have to be
bad)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Why can't you write a song without the bad? (why can't you write a
song)
Without the fornication that you've had (does it have to be so
bad)
Without your lust and jealousy
Have you lost all your
decency?
Why can't you write a song without the bad?

Lyrics:
(You and I
Common eyes)
Everything about you's special
Everything about you's nice
Like
to get to know you better
Look at things through common eyes
Chorus:
In this lonely world
There's nothing like a
friend
Someone who really cares
Someone you can depend upon
It's
so nice to know you're wanted
It's so nice to know you're
loved
Maybe we could get together
Look at things through common eyes
Every time I think about you (every time)
Every time I call your
name
You're my friend I love to realize
Look at things through
common eyes
Repeat Chorus
(You and I
Common eyes)
Repeat Chorus
Maybe we should get together
Look at things through common eyes

Lyrics:
Children of God
There are names that are used for description (There are names used for
description)
Others use ugly names to offend (Other names are to
offend)
Some are called certain things for distinction (Some are called
things for distinction)
Special names can be given a friend (Some are
given to a friend)
From the heart of our Lord's love and caring (From
His love and tender caring)
Comes a blessing that we don't deserve
(Comes a name we don't deserve)
It's the honor that we can be wearing
(It's an honor to be wearing)
The name of the God whom we serve
(Special name of whom we serve)
Chorus:
How great is the love
The Father has lavished on
us
That we should be called children of God
How great is the
love
The father has lavished on us
That we should be called children
of God
You can easily see who is knowing (You can see now who is
knowing)
Telling others about Him each day (Telling 'bout Him every
day)
There's a love that will set your heart glowing (Love will set
your heart a glowing)
When your Father has great things to say (Hearing
what He has to say)
It's a love that's unlike any other (Love that's
unlike any other)
With a feeling, most healing by far (Feeling,
healing, best by far)
Even more that the love of a brother (Even more
than of a brother)
Through a name telling all whose we are (Telling all
just whose we are)
Repeat Chorus (x2, with echoes)
Scriptural Reference:
"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him." 1 John 3:1

Lyrics:
Like a fairy tale from a story book
A boy meets girl and love's
first look
They will pledge their love
They will give their
lives
Forever and ever no compromise
But the struggles and worries
come sneakin' around
Nearly breakin' their hearts never makin' a
sound
Lovin' each other's where strength is found
Lifting our voices
and praying out loud (we pray out loud)
Chorus:
Lord bless our home (Please bless our home)
Fill it with
peace and joy and love
Join our hearts from heaven above (Lord please
bless)
Lord please bless our home
Lord bless our home
Lord bless our home
Holding hands (sharing hearts) as we're sharing hearts
Living
moments (loving starts) where loving starts
It's a simple pleasure
(without end) that knows no end
Not just family members (family,
faithful friends) but faithful friends
Singing and laughing and playin'
around
In a world full of noise, such a heavenly sound
But lovin'
each other's where strength is found
Lifting our voices and praying out
loud (we pray out loud)
Repeat Chorus
(Crazy world) It's a crazy old world we're livin' in
(Crowdin' in)
Unimportant things they come crowdin' in
(Heed this call) We can win
the whole world but heed this call
(Win it all) If we lose our loved
ones we've lost it all
Repeat Chorus (x2)
