Lyrics:
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in
the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this
hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Chorus:
Are you washed (are you washed) in the blood (in the
blood)
In the soul (soul) cleansing blood of the Lamb? (of the
lamb)
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you
washed in the (washed in the) blood of the (blood of the) Lamb?
Are you walking daily by the Savior's side?
Are you washed in the
blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you
washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Repeat Chorus
Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in
the blood of the Lamb
There's a fountain flowing for the soul
unclean
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!
Repeat Chorus
Are you washed (are you washed) in the blood (in the blood)
In the
soul (soul) cleansing blood of the Lamb? (of the lamb)

Lyrics:
Then forever my soul would be lost
When just suppose God searched through heaven
And couldn't find one
willing to be
The supreme sacrifice that was needed
To buy eternal
life for you and me
Chorus:
Had it not been for a place called Mt. Calvary
And had it
not been for the old rugged cross
And had it not been for a man called
Jesus
Then forever my soul would be lost
Well I'm so glad He was willing to drink that bitter cup
Although He
prayed "Father let it pass from me"
And I'm so glad He never called
heaven's angels
From my hands, for the nails that torment me
Repeat Chorus
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:
Lead: Gary Ferguson
Lyrics:
Well I've been to the river, I've been baptized
I've been washed in
the blood of the Lamb
I've been changed from the creature that once I
was
And redeemed is now my name (now my name)
Chorus:
I've been changed (I've been changed)
I'm a new born now
(I'm new born now)
All my life has been rearranged
What a difference
it made
When the Lord came and stayed
In my heart, oh yes I've been
changed
Well I grew up wondering how to live
I was trying to fulfill every
dream
But nothing had ever satisfied me
'Til the day the Lord set me
free (set me free)
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
I've been washed in the blood of my Savior
Jesus died on
the cross just for me
No more must I carry this burden
From the
shackles of sin I am free
When at last in His presence I stand above
He will wipe all the
tears from my eyes
And I'll thank Him for giving a wretch like
me
Lasting hope beyond the skies (beyond the sky)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
I've been changed, I'm new born now, I'm changed
Scriptural Reference:
"And he said: 'I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like
little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'"

15:51-52

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Let the angel pass us over
Let the angel pass us
by
Let the angel pass us over
Let the angel of death pass us by
We are poor Lord, live in bondage
Yet we know Lord, we are
thine
We cry freedom from the Pharoah
We await your mighty sign
Blood of lamb upon the doorpost
Sit in silence, hear them
cry
Judgement now has come upon them
As their firstborn sons start
to die
Chorus 2:
Let the angel pass us over
Let the angel pass us by
(pass us by)
Let the angel pass us over
Let the angel of death pass
us by
Oh remind us of your power Lord
Ever mindful of this deed
Guide
us through our tribulation
By your power we will all be free
Repeat Chorus 2
Through the streets, through the homes
Hear the echoes of the
moans
Repeat Chorus 2
The angel of death
Has passed by
Scriptural Reference:
"On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every
firstborn-both men and animals-and I will bring judgment on all the gods
of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the
houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No
destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt." Exodus
12:12-13
"At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of
the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the
livestock as well. Pharaoh and all his officials and all the
Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt,
for there was not a house without someone dead." Exodus 12:29-30

Sounds of Glory.
Lead: Dave McPeak
Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
When the roll, is called up yonder (when the roll is
called up yonder I'll be there)
When the roll, is called up yonder
(when the roll is called up yonder I'll be there)
When the roll, is
called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no
more
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair
When the saved
of earth shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up
yonder, I'll be there
Chorus 2:
When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder (I'll
be there)
When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder (I'll be
there)
When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder (is called up
yonder)
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there (when the roll
is called up yonder, up yonder I'll be there)
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall
rise
And the glory of His resurrection share
When His chosen ones
shall gather to their home beyond the skies
And the roll is called up
yonder, I'll be there
Repeat Chorus 2
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun
Let us
talk of all His wondrous love and care
Then when all of life is over,
and our work on earth is done
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be
there (roll is called I will be there)
Repeat Chorus 2
When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder (I'll be
there)
When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder (I'll be
there)
When the roll (when the roll), is called up yonder
When the
roll is called up yonder I'll be there

Wouldn't Take Nothin' For My Journey
Words and music:
Lead: Kevin Percival
Lyrics:
Chorus:
Well I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now
I got to
make it to heaven somehow
Though the devil tempts and tries to turn me
around
He's offered everything that's got a name
All the wealth I
want and worldly fame
But if I could, still I wouldn't take nothin' for
my journey now
There's nothing in the world that could ever take the place of God's
love
Silver and gold could never buy His love from above
When my
soul needs healing that's when I'm feeling His power
And that's when I
say I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now
Repeat Chorus
Well I started out working for the Lord many years ago
I had a lot
of heartaches, I had alot of grief and woe
When I began to stumble
that's when I humble down
And that's when I say I wouldn't take nothin'
for my journey now
Repeat Chorus (x2)
If I could, still I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now
Scriptural Reference:
"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 4:8-10
Words and music:
Lead: Bob Allsup
Lyrics:
See the man by the road
Wondering which way to go
As his sins
turn to scarlett
He rejected the Lord
As he stumbles and
falters
And falls to the ground
He looks up to the Savior
But
He's nowhere around
Chorus:
What a loss, what a pity
To be left all alone
To cry
out in the darkness
When there's nobody home
If Salvation's in a
bottle
Or all in your head
You've forgotten the Savior
Who to
Calvary was lead
Does it seem that your life
Has grown harder to bear
Does it seem
no one listens
Or that nobody cares
Can you handle the future
And
all that it holds
Is there something thats missing
Is it all growing
cold
Repeat Chorus
Now that man by the road
He submits to the Lord
All his sins are
forgiven
And his faith is his own
He's committed to the
Savior
And God's saving grace
When he looks to the Savior
He
won't hide His face
No more loss, no more pity
You are never alone
God has given you
the Spirit
In His arms you belong
When salvation meant a
bottle
It clouded your head
Now you've gotten the Savior
Who to
Calvary was lead
This man that sings this song for you
Has loved the world in all
that sin can be
Why did He give His son to save a man like me?
Jesus
died to save a man like me
Scriptural Reference:
"'Come now, let us reason together,' says the Lord. 'Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.'" Isaiah 1:18

Intro (Outtakes):
And this is "Just a Little While"
Soon this
life (oops... forgot to count)
(And take two with another pitch pipe
please... pitch pipe thank you)
One, two, three...
Soon this life
will all be (and three)
One, two, three...
Soon this life will all be over
And our pilgramage will end
Soon
we'll take our heavenly journey
Be at home with Christ our
friend
Heaven's gates are standing open
Waiting for our entrance
there
Some sweet day we're going over
All the beauties there to
share
Chorus:
Just a little while, just a little while, just a little
while, just a little while
Just a little while to stay here (stay
here)
Just a little while to wait (to wait)
Just a little while to
labor (labor)
In the path that's always straight (path that's always
straight and narrow)
Just a little more of troubles (troubles)
In
this low and sinful state (sinful state)
Then we'll enter heaven's
portals (portals)
Sweeping through those pearly gates
And we will sing (hallelujah)
And we will shout (hallelujah)
And
we will sing hallelujah after awhile
Soon we'll see the light of morning
And the new day will
begin
Soon we'll hear our Father calling
Come my children, enter
in
Then we'll be at home forever
Throughout all eternity
What a
blessed, blessed morning
That eternal morn' will be
Repeat Chorus
And we will sing (hallelujah)
And we will shout (hallelujah)
And
we will sing hallelujah after awhile
Repeat Chorus (sweeping through those pearly, sweeping through those pearly gates)

Lyrics:
There's a sweet sweet spirit in this place
And I know that it's the
spirit of the Lord
There are sweet expressions on each face
And I know that it's the
presence of the Lord
Sweet Holy Spirit
Sweet heavenly dove
Stay right here with
us
Filling us with your love
And for these blessings
We lift our
hearts in praise (hearts in praise)
Without a doubt we'll know that we
have been revived
When we shall leave this place
