Lyrics:
I have started for a city on that bright eternal shore
Where the
saints of God shall gather and live on forevermore
Tis a land of love
and purity where my possessions lie
And I am bound for the land of
Canaan when I die (when I die)
Chorus:
Oh yes I’m bound (bound for the land of Canaan)
For the
land of Canaan (Canaan yes I am)
By the love and grace of God (love of
God)
That city I’m gainin’ (I am gaining ground)
Some happy day
(some happy day)
With all the ransomed I’ll stand
And sing His
praise way over in Canaan’s happy land (happy land)
Oh the land of rest eternal where the living waters flow
Ev’ry day
I’m one day nearer to its portals, this I know.
Some sweet morning I’ll
be singing “Glory, glory” to the Lamb
For I am bound for the land of
Canaan yes I am (yes I am)
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do
Do not wait to
shed your light afar
To the many duties ever near you now be
true
Brighten the corner where you are
Brighten the corner where you are (shine for Jesus where you
are)
Brighten the corner where you are
Someone far from harbor you
may guide across the bar
Brighten the corner where you are (corner
where you are)
Brighten the corner where you are
Brighten the corner where you
are
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar
Brighten
the corner where you are
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never
lose
Frowners never win
So let the sunshine in
Face it with a
grin
Open up your heart and let the sunshine in
This little light of mine
Oh, I’m gonna let it shine
This little
light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of
mine
Oh, I’m gonna let it shine
Ev’ry day I’ll let my little light
shine
Hide it under a bushel? No.
I’m gonna let it shine
Hide it
under a bushel? No.
I’m gonna let it shine
Hide it under a
bushel? No.
I’m gonna let it shine
Ev’ry day I’ll let my
little light shine, shine, shine
Brighten the corner where you are
Brighten the corner where you
are
Someone far from the harbor you may guide across the
bar
Brighten the corner where you are (corner where you are)

I Don't Want to Live No More Without Jesus
Words and music: Carvel Horton © 1982
Lead: Charles Davis
Lyrics:
Many times I get discouraged wond’ring what I can do
Troubles seem
to pile upon me with no answer in view
Then a voice within me whispers
there is one who still cares
On your knees and call on Jesus
He will
answer your prayer
Chorus:
I don’t want to live (live no more)
No more (live no
more)
Without Jesus (live without my Lord)
I don’t want the
heartaches
Nor the world that sin makes
Following me (following
me)
I don’t want to live (live no more)
No more (live no
more)
Without Jesus (live without my Lord)
I’ve a life eternal
In
the home supernal
Waiting for me (waiting for me)
Lonely roads I have to travel, oftentimes all alone
Seems I have no
earthly help, my friends and loved ones are gone
Greater love is
waiting for me at the end of this road
I’ve a place just waiting for me
at the end of this road
Repeat Chorus (x2)
(waiting for me, waiting for me, for me)

Lyrics:
I can hear my Savior calling
I can hear my Savior calling
I can
hear my Savior calling
Take thy cross and follow, follow me
My Jesus, I love Thee
I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the
follies
Of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer
My Savior art Thou
If ever I loved
Thee
My Jesus, ‘tis now
Oh, how I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love Jesus!
Oh, how I love
Jesus
Because He first loved me
Where He leads me I will follow
Where He leads me I will
follow
Where He leads me I will follow
I’ll go with Him, with Him
all the way

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Well, I said shout (shout)
Come on get ready
The day
of the Lord is come
So shout (shout)
Come on get ready
The
battle’s already won
So put on your armor, helmet and shield
Take
out your sword and go into the field
So shout (shout)
Come on get
ready
The day of the Lord is here
Well it seems that the children of Israel
Brought their journey to
an end
And though Jericho seemed mighty
The Lord said they would
win
Well they marched around that city
And blew that trumpet
blast
And they gave that mighty shout at last
And the walls came
tumblin’ down
Repeat Chorus
When it seems like troubles and trials
Cause your hopes to come
crashin’ down
And even though you’re waiting
The walls keep closin’
‘round
Well, trust in God your Savior
And in your faith stand
fast
Just listen for the trumpet blast
And the walls will come
tumblin’ down
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Well I said shout (shout)
Come on get ready
The day of the Lord
is here
Well I said shout!
Scriptural Reference:
"On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the people, 'Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!'” Joshua 6:15-16
Words and music: Charles (Rusty) Goodman © 1965
Lead: None
Lyrics:
Then I ask myself a question – who am I?
When I think of how He came so far from glory
Came to dwell among
the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount
Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?
Chorus:
Who am I that a King would bleed and die
for
Who am I that He would pray not my will, thine Lord
The
answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
But to an old
rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?
Then I'm reminded of His words
I'll leave thee never
So just
be true, I'll give to you my life forever
I wonder what I could have
done
To deserve God's only Son
Fight my battles ‘til they're
won
Who am I?
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8
Words and music: Thomas A. Dorsey (1937)
Lead: Dale Underwood
Lyrics:
Well I’m tired and so weary
But I must go along
‘Til the Lord
comes and calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning is bright
And the
Lamb, the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as fair as the day,
oh yes
Chorus:
And there will be peace in the valley for me someday
Oh,
there will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
Well, there’ll
be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble I’ll see
There will be peace in
the valley for me (for me)
Well the flowers will be blooming
And the grass, oh it will be
green
And the skies will be clear and serene, oh yes
Well the sun
ever beams in this valley of dreams
And no clouds there will ever be
seen, oh yes
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:

Words and music: Albert E. Brumley © 1941
Lead: None
Lyrics:
I’ve heard them sing “He Paid the Price” and “Jesus Bore It
All”
I’ve heard them sing “I’m Coming Home” and “Hear the Master’s
Call”
I’ve heard them sing the modern songs and songs of long
ago
But Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound (amazing grace)
Is the
sweetest song I know
Chorus:
Amazing grace (amazing grace, how sweet the sound)
How
sweet the sound (oh how sweet is the sound)
No sweeter song (sweeter
song, sweeter song)
Could e’er be found (in this life could be
found)
I’ve heard of a fountain (heard of the dear Savior’s
blood)
Filled with blood (that washed us white, white as snow)
But
Amazing Grace (amazing grace, how sweet the sound)
Is the sweetest song
I know
It was the song my mother sang in sweet and humble voice
Like music
from the world above, it made my soul rejoice
Its soothing words and
melody like rippling waters flow
But Amazing Grace (amazing grace, how
sweet the sound)
Is the sweetest song I know
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
My God and I go in the field together
We walk and talk as good
friends should and do
We clasp our hands, our voices ring with
laughter
My God and I walk through the meadow’s hue
We clasp our
hands, our voices ring with laughter
My God and I walk through the
meadow’s hue
He tells me of the years that went before me
When heavenly plans
were made for me to be
When all was but a dream of dim reflection
To
come to life, earth's verdant glory see
When all was but a dream of dim
reflection
To come to life, earth's verdant glory see
My God and I will go for aye together
We'll walk and talk just as
good friends do
This earth will pass, and with it common trifles
But
God and I will go unendingly
This earth will pass, and with it common
trifles
But God and I will go unendingly
Spoken Vocal:
I will lift mine eyes unto the hills from whence
cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord. Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.

Lyrics:
My Savior daily walks with me because I trust His love
In all that’s
best His hand I see it points to Heav’n above
I will follow Him through
shadows dim or in the sunshine bright
And on we walk together and He
leads my steps aright
Chorus:
On and on we walk together (on we walk together)
Christ
is ever by my side (Christ is by my side)
And I fear no stormy weather
(fear no stormy weather)
He’s a faithful guide (for He is a faithful
guide)
You can never find another (you can’t find another)
For the
waves obey His will (waves obey His will)
And He speaks to you my
brother (speaks to you my brother)
Hear His “Peace, be still” (come and
hear His “Peace, be still”)
Upon my blessed Lord I lean, my all to Him confide
No more the
shadows come between, I’m walking by His side
In true faith will I on
him rely, He makes my burdens light
And on we walk together and He
keeps my steps aright
Repeat Chorus

"I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people." Leviticus 26:12
I'm Travelling the Glory Highway
Words and music:
Lead: C.D. Davis and Charles Davis
Lyrics:
I’m going up the highway
That leads to mansions grand
(I know)
I’ve started for that kingdom
Beyond these desert sands
No more I’ll
stay in Egypt
I’m bound for Beulah land
(Oh yes) I’m traveling the
glory highway
Chorus:
Climbing up the highway of the King of Kings (climbing up,
up the way, of the King of Kings)
In the light of His blessed love (in
the light, of His, by His love, blessed love)
Everywhere I go, His
praise I’ll sing (everywhere I’ll His blessed praises sing)
‘Til I
reach that home in Heav’n above (‘til I reach, home in Heav’n, home in
Heav’n above)
I’m going on each day with faith secure (going on, on
each day, with a faith secure)
From the way I’ll never roam (from the
way I’ll not ever roam, going home)
Oh yes I’ll run to the gates of
glory land
There with the angels I shall stand (I’ll stand)
At the
end of the highway is home (my heav’nly home)
I’ll reach that land of promise
Some morning by and by
(Oh yes)
I’ll be at home with Jesus
Beyond the starlit sky
My race will soon
be ended
The time is drawing nigh
(But still) I’m traveling the
glory highway
Repeat Chorus (x2)
