Lyrics:
I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never
been before
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
For time won't
matter anymore
Chorus:
Beulah Land, I'm longing for you
And
someday on thee I'll stand
There my home will be eternal
Beulah
Land, sweet Beulah Land
I'm looking out across the river
Where my faith will end
in sight
There's just a few more days to labor
Then I will take my
Heavenly flight
Repeat Chorus
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
I'm longing for you

Every time I (every time I)
Feel the Spirit (feel the
Spirit)
Moving in my heart (moving in my heart)
I will pray (I will
pray)
Oh every time I (every time I)
Feel the Spirit (feel the

Chill the body, not the soul
All

Asked my Lord if it was mine

With my Jesus I'll remain
On the

From His mouth came fire and smoke

Lyrics:
There are some things (there are some things) I may not know (I may not

There are some places I can't go
But I am sure (but I am sure)
of this one thing (of this one thing)
My God is real for I can feel Him
deep within (deep within)

My God is real (yes my God is real), real in my soul (real,

like pure gold (is like pure gold)
Oh my God is real, for I can feel
Him in my soul (in my soul)
I cannot tell (I cannot tell) just how you felt (just how you
felt)
When Jesus took all your sins away
But since that day (but

God has been
real for I can feel His holy power (holy power)!

Give Me That Old Fashioned Way
Words and music:
Lead: C.D. Davis and Charles Davis
Lyrics:
It was an old fashioned Savior of men
Who left His beautiful home in
the sky (left His home in glory)
Came to redeem us from bondage of
sin
Yes came so freely to suffer and die (what a matchless story)
It
was an old fashioned love in His heart
For us that brought to us
such pain and loss (when He there was dying)
Joy and
salvation He came to impart (to sinners)
There on that old fashioned
cross (the old cross)
Chorus:
Lord give me more of the old fashioned way (give me more of
the old fashioned way)
That I may live and rejoice every day (live
rejoicing all of the day)
A love that ever will shine, bring joy to
this heart of mine
That I might send forth a cheerful bright ray (a
bright ray)
Lord give me more of the old fashioned way (give me more of
the old fashioned way)
That I may live and rejoice every day (live
rejoicing all of the day)
A love that ever will shine, bring joy to
this heart of mine
Lord give me more of the old fashioned way (the old
way)
It was an old fashioned prayer Jesus prayed
Out in the Garden of
Gethsemane (how we ought to love him)
All of our sorrows upon Him were
laid
Oh what a wonderful Savior is He (there is none above Him)
It
was an old fashioned love so divine
When He said, "Not my will but
thine be done" (so willing to suffer)
I am so glad that His pardon is
mine (I love Him)
Jesus the crucified One (the blest one)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"And he said to them: 'You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!'" Mark 7:9

Lyrics:
And He said ole' Satan be gone
Chorus:
Jesus was tempted in the desert forty days
Jesus was
tempted in the desert forty days
Jesus was tempted in the desert forty
days
And He said ole' Satan be gone
Oh the Spirit led my Jesus to the desert one day
Ole' Satan tried to
tempt Him every possible way
My Lord was starvin', He was hungry, and
then ole' Satan said
"If you be God's Son, turn these stones to
bread"
The devil took my Jesus to a high place on the earth
Ole' Satan
tempted Him with all the kingdoms and their worth
The devil said to Him
"all of this I give to thee
If you only bow down and worship me"
Repeat Chorus
Satan led to the temple and he set Him way up high
It was here he
told the Lord "If you jump you will not die"
And then the angels
will come down if you truly are God's Son
"If you give in to me, ole'
Satan has won"
Now we know Christ answered Satan, he said "man lives not on bread
alone"
He also told the devil, "worship God and God alone"
He said
"don't tempt your Lord," my Jesus truly passed the test
If we follow
His example our reward will be the best
Repeat Chorus
And He said ole' Satan be gone
Be gone!
Scriptural Reference:
"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, 'If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.' Jesus answered, 'It is written: "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."' Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 'If you are the Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down. For it is written: "He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."' Jesus answered him, 'It is also written: "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."' Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 'All this I will give you,' he said, 'if you will bow down and worship me.' Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: "Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only."'" Matthew 4:1-10

Lyrics:
Spoken Vocal:
Recently, we heard about a young man in San
Antonio who was dying with AIDS. After making his life right with
God, he began searching desperately for a church home with brothers and
sisters who would accept him and love him. He found this in a
congregation there in San Antonio. Shortly before his death, he was
asked by his preacher if he had any message for others who might have
turned their lives away from God. The answer he gave that day
inspired the writing of this song. You tell them, "Don't be afraid
to come home."
When you were young, heart filled with faith
You trusted in all that
was good
But somewhere along the way
You ventured away from the
truth
The sin in your heart left you empty
Yes sin has its wages to
pay
Your friends had forsaken and left you
Yet a voice could be
heard far away...
Chorus 1:
Prodigal Son... He's waiting for you
Don't be afraid to
come home
Prodigal Son... with arms open wide
Come feel His love
deep inside of you (of you, of you, of you)
Slowly your thoughts turn to home
Fond memories of where you once
were
And on your knees you cry "Father"
"Please let me come home
just to serve
I've been far away and so lonely
Been broken
continuously
Oh my Lord don't disown me"
The father says so
lovingly...
Chorus 2:
Prodigal Son... I'm waiting for you
Don't be
afraid to come home
Prodigal Son... with arms open wide
Come
feel my love deep inside of you (of you, of you, of you)
Repeat Chorus 1
Scriptural Reference:
"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.'" Luke 15:21-22
Words and music:
Lead: C.D. Davis
Lyrics:
Beautiful home, beautiful land
Beautiful place on the far away
stand
Beautiful country where my friends have gone
Sorrow and pain,
trouble and care
None of these will ever be there
Heaven is waiting
now for me, beautiful home
Chorus:
Beautiful home of pure delight
Beautiful home of mansions
bright
And I know I'll live in one some day
Beautiful sights there
to behold
Beautiful gates and streets of gold
I will have a
beautiful home someday (someday)
Beautiful rose, beautiful crowns
Glourious singing all
around
Happy reunion on the golden shore
We will be there, happy and
free
Satisfied we ever will be
Praising the Savior for His love
evermore
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
In the land of fadeless day
Lies a city foursquare
It shall never
pass away
And there is no night there
Chorus:
God shall wipe (God shall wipe) away all tears (away all
tears)
There's no death (there's no death), no pain nor fear (no pain
nor fears)
And they count (not time) not time by years (by
years)
For there is (no night) no night there
All the gates of pearl are made
In the city foursquare
All the
streets with gold are laid
And there is no night there
There they need no sunshine bright
In the city foursquare
For the
lamb is all the light
And there is no night there
Repeat Chorus

What wonderful,

Near to the heart of God

There is a place of full release
Near to the heart of God
A place
where all is joy and peace

Lyrics:
On Zion's glorious summit stood
A numerous host redeemed by
blood
They hymned their King in strains divine
I heard the song and
strove to join
I heard the song and strove to join
Here all who suffered sword or flame
For truth, or Jesus' lovely
name
Shout victory now and hail the Lamb
And bow before the great I
Am
And bow before the great I Am
While everlasting ages roll
Eternal love shall feast their
soul
And scenes of bliss, forever new
Rise in succession to their
view
Rise in succession to their view
Sanctus:
Holy, holy, holy Lord
God of hosts, on high
adored
Who like me thy praise should sing
O Almighty King
Holy,
holy, holy Lord
God of hosts, on high adored
Holy, holy, holy
Scriptural Reference:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty.” Isaiah 6:3
