Lyrics:
When I think about my troubles and my trials in life's way (they can't
be right)
The darkness of this world just can't be right
There's a
new day coming closer with each day
A new land's within my sight
I know that my sins are all forgiven (I know they are forgiven)
I
know that He watches o'er my life (I know He watches o'er my life)
But
when I think of being alone it makes me want to go (when I think of, it
makes me want to)
To the place that's free from grief and strife (free
from strife)
Chorus:
Heaven's gonna be (Heaven will be), gonna be my home
From
my God I nevermore will roam (roam)
(Walking with Him) Walking with Him
(I'll never) I'll never be alone
(Whenever) Heaven will be my home
When I come to the ending of this journey here on earth (a crown of
life)
A promised crown of life is my reward
There's a city promised
from my second birth
I'm going to meet my Lord
I know that my life on earth on is passing (I know that my life is
passing)
I know that my visit here is brief (I know that visit here is
brief)
But when I think of living with Him my heart begins to yearn
(when I think of living with Him)
For the place of comfort and relief
(relief, relief)
Heaven's gonna be (Heaven will be), gonna be my home
From my God I
nevermore will roam (roam)
(Walking with Him) Walking with Him (I'll
never) I'll never be alone
(Whenever)
Repeat Chorus

This song also appeared on Born Again by New Life
(TN), Set Me Free by Acappella
and The Collection by
Acappella.
Producer's Note Excerpt from The
Collection: "I wrote this song over 20 years ago. In
borrowing from a choral, spiritual style, I tried to create the scene at
the cross; the defining moment in history. God became something he
was not (sin), so we could become something we are not (righteous)."
Lyrics:
Jesus prayed in the garden and poured out His heart for me
There has
been no love shown my mortal as in dark Gethsemane (dark Gethsemane, dark
Gethsemane)
He could have chosen not to suffer treatment of the cruelest
kind
But the lips of my pure savior uttered not my will but thine (not
my will but thine (x5))
Part Ia-
Jesus prayed in the Garden, He prayed oh (repeated)
Part Ib-
Let me tell you what He went through
You know He really didn't have
to
He could have easily just walked away
Then He said "not my will
but thine" (not my will but)
And they took them and they beat Him and they mocked Him and teased
Him
The people kept a cryin oh "We gotta crucify Him"
"Crucify Him!
Crucify Him!"
Yet He said "not my will but thine" (not my will but)
Part IIa-
Jesus died on Calvary, He died oh (repeated)
Part IIb-
Well they hung Him there in anger searchin' for some relief
They
nailed Him there in public right between the two thiefs
He tasted human
torture of the cruelest kind
But yet He said "not my will but thine"
(not my will but)
Some were laughin', some were cryin' some were happy at His dyin'
I
don't see, I can't see how could this ever be?
Poor Jesus as He hung on
the tree He said
"Not my will but thine"
Not my will but thine
Scriptural Reference:
"Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26:39
Words and music: Keith Lancaster (1978)
Lyrics:
Chorus:
Rejoice, rejoice, let all who trust the Lord rejoice
And
ever sing His praise for those He has defended (those defended)
For
thou will bless the righteous and guard Him as a shield (thou will guard
Him as a shield)
In thee do I put my trust
Give ear, O God unto my words, O Lord, my King
I'll worship in thy
fear toward thy Holy temple (toward thy temple)
Because thou has
defended, we'll ever shout for joy (we will ever shout for joy)
In thee
do I put my trust
Return O Lord, my soul deliver for thy mercy's sake
Lift thyself up
in thy name, arise O Lord, awake
I am weary with my growning, judge us
Lord this day
Save me from mine enemies for unto thee I pray
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"In that day they will say, 'Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the LORD, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.'" Isaiah 25:9
Words and music: Keith Lancaster (1978)
Lyrics:
Oh will you come to Jesus
His invitation hear
Don't let your life
be wasted
For death is drawing near
Chorus:
Your life is but a vapor
That vanisheth away
Oh will
you not hear Jesus
And heed His call today
The greatest of decisions
Is only your own choice
The angels now
in heaven
Are waiting to rejoice
Repeat Chorus
Don't wait until tomorrow
And Satan's calling heed
Your soul is
now in danger
The Savior's blood you need
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord." Proverbs 16:20

Lyrics:
Through the valley of death (through the valley of death)
I'm sure I
must go (I must go)
So the wages of sin
I don't want to know
I'll
be judged by the deeds (I'll be judged by the deeds)
And the seed I
have sewn (seed I've sewn)
And I'll live with my Savior
While the
ages roll on (on and on)
Chorus:
While the ages roll on (while the ages roll on)
While the
ages roll on (while the ages roll on)
I'll be with my Lord (I'll be
with my Lord)
While the ages roll on (while the ages roll on)
The life I have lived (Oh, the life I have lived)
And the path I
have trod ([ath I've trod)
Well, I hope that someday
Will be
pleasing to God
When I stand at His throne (when I stand at His
throne)
I know I won't be alone (not alone)
Cause I'll be with my
Savior
While the ages roll on (on and on)
Repeat Chorus

Lyrics:
Oh what love have I found in my Savior
He's my Lord and the master
of all (master of all)
I will love Him throughout all the
ages
'Cause I've served Him and answered His call
And since I've
whipped old Satan (escaped the roar), espcaped the lion's roar
I'll be
at home with Jesus (with Him) to sing forevermore
Chorus 1:
I will sing His praise
I will praise His name
I will
sing and praise His holy name (praise Him)
I will sing His praise
I
will praise His name
I will sing and praise His holy name
How could Paul sing God's praises at midnight?
In the prison so dark
and so cold (dark and so cold)
The answer is found in
commitment
Jesus made Him so strong and so bold
And if the church is
married (will sing His praise), they'll have to sing His praise
And
since they've found salvation (And since they sing I know), you'll hear
their voices raised
Chorus 2:
They will sing His praise
They will praise His
name
They will sing and praise His holy name (praise Him)
They will
sing His praise
They will praise His name
They will sing and praise
His holy name
Oh if only your heart you would open
And His wonderful gospel obey
(gospel obey)
You can live a good life that's worth living
And be
singing His praises today
And if you would be happy (He's calling
still), He's calling for you still
Obey His gospel (today), He'll save
you if you will
Chorus 3:
You can sing His praise
You can praise His name
You
can sing and praise His holy name
I will sing His praise
I will
praise His name
I will sing and praise His holy name
Scriptural Reference:
"I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise." Psalm 138:1

Lyrics:
I want a faith
I want a faith that moves mountains and Satan can not
shake (faith that mountains can not shake)
When I'm tempted or tested,
my love he'll never take (he can never take)
I want a prayer that is
answered by heaven in its turn (prayer answered in its turn)
To receive
words from Christians, whose laws are His concern
I want a faith that is ever so strong and drives out fear (that is ever
drives out fear)
Those despised and rejected by foes drawing near (foes
so near)
I want a hope that is anchored within His tender care (hope
anchored in His care)
And be part of His family, His love and blessings
share
I want a faith that in danger can walk the stormy vale (faith that
danger walk the vale)
Though by demons surrounded, my trust will never
fail (will never fail)
I want a faith that from beauty cries "Here am
I, send me" (faith that beauty here send me)
That will love God and
serve Him through all eternity
I want a faith
A faith
Scriptural Reference:
"He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" Matthew 17:20

I'm a-gonna be with the
angels on high
I'm gonna live there by and by, by, by, by
I'm gonna

Follow Him regardless of the cost
