Lyrics:
Of all the things to do to a friend
You hurt them by your tongue.
Relationships will fatally end
Without a knife or gun.
Waitin' till you 're back behind them,
Then you put them down
How could you be talkin' 'bout them
When they're not around?
Chorus:
Don't be talkin' 'bout friends when they're not
around
Don't be cuttin' their hearts and puttin' them down.
Don't be
temptin' the Lord and makin' Him frown,
Don't be talkin' 'bout your
friends when they're not around.
How all the gossip falls on our ears
It doesn't make much
sense,
How we can cause the innocent tears,
Not helping their
defense.
Listening, we all should fear it,
Listening is wrong.
If there
were no one to hear it
It could not go on.
Repeat Chorus
Too many friendships have been broken
By just a simple, careless
word spoken.
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Don't be talkin' down, throwin' down, cuttin' down friends
Why not
treat them more like friends (when they're not around)?
Don't be saying
lots of things, overlook the hurt it brings
Don't be talkin' bout your
friends (when they're not around).
Scriptural Reference:
"A perverse man stirs up dissention, and a gossip separates close friends." Proverbs 16:28

Lyrics:
I can walk! I can walk!
Since the day that I was born I had been
lame.
I can walk! I can walk!
I've been healed by the powr' of His
precious holy name.
I can see! I can see!
When the Savior touched my heart He lifted
me.
I can see! My eyes can see!
I've been changed by His powr' to
be all that I can be.
In the grave. In the grave.
I was bounded by the shackles of the
grave.
In the grave, In the grave.
I was dead in sin without his
hand to save.
I'm alive! I'm alive!
When He spoke my name from death I came alive
I'm alive! I'm alive!
With His healing hand I know I will survive
I never thought that such a brighter day could ever be.
My eyes
were blinded with darkness but right now I can see!
To know that the
Father could care for me the way that He does.
The world can't
conceive (though how hard it tries) The way that He loves
Repeat 1st and 2nd verses
Scriptural Reference:
"He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all.
This amazed everyone and they praised God saying, 'We have never
seen anything like this!" Mark 2:12
"Jesus had compassion on them
and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and
followed him." Matthew 21:34
"Then he went up and touched the
coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, 'Young man, I
say to you, get up!' The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave
him back to his mother." Luke 7:14-15

From the insert for Growin' Up in the Lord:
"Piper Song was written for Piper Northen, a girl who was desperately in need of a liver transplant. Many people lovingly responded to this urgent need and helped to raise the necessary funding for the expensive, live-saving operation. Consequently, a foundation was established through which other children can be helped as Piper was blessed. You can help by giving to the American Childrens's Transplant Foundation, 2810 Meadowlark, Ft. Collins, Colorado 80526."
Lyrics:
I have a daughter who's five years old,
She's got a lot of energy.
We have some dreams for her you see.
She's puttin' on Momma's shoes
'cause she wants to be a lady
And that's just what we want for her to
be.
Chorus:
I wanna grow older, I wanna feel the rays of the morning
light.
I wanna grow older, I wanna see the shades of the evening
light.
Piper's a girl who's five years old,
She's a joy to her family.
They have some dreams for her you see.
She's puttin' on Momma's
shoes 'cause she wants to be a lady
And that's just what we want for
her to be.
Repeat Chorus
Why not be part of this prayer too?
You can help Piper's dream come
true.
I wanna grow older, I wanna feel the rays of the morning light.
I
wanna grow older, I wanna feel the light.
I wanna grow older.
Scriptural Reference:
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 10:31

Lyrics:
He, he leads me (He leadeth me)
He, he leads me
He leadeth me, O blessed thought
O words with heavenly comfort
fraught
What e'er I do, where e're I be
Still tis God's hand that
leadeth me
Chorus:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me
By His own hand, He leadeth
me
His faithful follower I would be
For by His hand He leadeth me
Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom
Sometimes where Eden's bowers
bloom
By waters still, o'er troubled sea
Still 'tis God's hand that
leadeth me
Repeat Chorus
And when my task on earth Is done
When by Thy grace the victory's
won
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee
Since God through Jordan
leadeth me

He leads me, He leads me
By His own hand, He leads me
His
faithful follower I would be

Lyrics:
Chorus:
I'm growin' up in the Lord.
Oh I'm gettin' stronger;
turnin' back no longer:
I'm growin' up in the Lord.
I'm growin' up
in the Lord.
I make mistakes but that's part of growin' up.
Part of growin' up
in the Lord.
His understanding is what I need the most,
I am
staying close to His word.
Sheltered from harm when I am safe in his arms
And I am learning to
do His will.
Hearing his call although I stumble and fall.
I can
get up and keep growing still.
Repeat Chorus
Now as I'm growin' I'm learning what to say,
Learning how to walk in
the light.
I'm made aware of the devil every day
Learning how to
handle the fight.
Tempted by wrong, He keeps me ready and strong
So I can handle the
Tempter's snare.
Jesus is mine and since he's there all the time
I
am protected within His care
Repeat Chorus (x2)
I'm growin' up in the, growin' up in the, I'm growin' up in the Lord.

Chorus:
Give me water from the well that never runs dry
Give me
water from the well that gives me hope when I die.
Give me water from
the well that never runs dry.
And I will thirst no more.
Living water flowing from above
Through the Spirit of never ending
love.
And I'm the first to declare my longing thirst
For the water
that comes from above.
Repeat Chorus
Living water leads me to my goal.
Now refreshing and cleansing to
my soul.
Truly I'm alive, and I know I can't survive
Without it,
the pure waters flow.
Repeat Chorus
And I will thirst no more

Share what we've got 'cause we've all got a lot
Of things
to share together

Not just a mile go with them
two
When they are hundgry and are needing special care
Deep in your
heart you know exactly what to do

They cannot see until we care
It
is not Jesus when we keep it to ourselves
You can be sure it is not
