Love Lifted Me

I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I

Chorus
Love lifted me
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me
Love lifted me
Love lifted me
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me

All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessed presence live, ever His praises sing
Love so mighty and so true merits my soul’s best songs
Faithful, loving service, too, to Him belongs

My Jesus I Love Thee

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

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus,’tis now

I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now

In mansions of glory and endless delight
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now

He Looked Beyond My Faults

Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise
For it was grace that bought my liberty
I do not know just why He came to love me so
He looked beyond my faults and saw my need

Chorus
I shall forever lift mine eyes to Calvary
To view the cross where Jesus died for me
How marvellous the grace that caught my falling soul
He looked beyond my faults and saw my need

If not for grace, my soul would be a drifting ship
With no safe harbour from the angry waves
But Calvary’s cross shines brightly through the darkest storm
And just in time His mercy rescues me

People Get Ready

People get ready, there’s a train a comin’
You don’t need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear those diesels hummin’
And you don’t need no ticket, you just thank the Lord

So, get on board little children, get on board little children
Get on board little children, there’s room for many a more

Chorus
You’ll want to ride, that Glory train
You’ll want to ride, ride, ride, that Glory train
Now when your work on earth is through, there’s one thing you’ll want to do
It’s to get aboard and ride that Glory train

Hear the thunder of the engines; get aboard her if you can
For that final destination is that far off promised land
Where the master will be waiting in His home way up above
And He’ll fill our hearts with gladness and His great eternal love

Let’s Make a Memory

Chorus
Let’s make a memory
Let’s share some history
Let’s sing a melody
That sounds a lot like home
Let’s stop and sit a spell
We’ve got so much to tell
Because we’re family
Let’s make a memory

We’ve all got a story
And we’ve all got a song
Together we make music
So the world can sing along
You can bring your laughter
And I can bring my tears
And suddenly the heavenlies appear

A few things last forever
And if we do our part
We can seize this moment
And hold it in our hearts
The time we have is sacred
A holy mystery
So take my hand, let’s make a memory

The Love of God

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men, who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God’s love so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
The saints’ and angels’ song

Chorus:
O love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

Faithful

Many years ago I became your love
The reason you existed
Your hope for life above
And you chose the road less traveled
Sometimes you felt alone
But I swore I’d never leave you
Till the day I bring you home

Chorus
And you were faithful
When the others walked away
Threw it all behind them
But I knew that you would stay
And though the path I had for you
Was harder than you thought
I promised you
I’ll be faithful too

Time just keeps on going
But the road is getting rough
Things you never dreamt of
Make you feel you’ve had enough
For the child you loved so deeply
Has left this world for home
But you never gave up trusting
Even if you’d known

Wait

Sometimes it seems the answer’s so far away
Sometimes it feels I’m hanging in the air
I’m waiting for your voice, Lord
Open up the way, Lord
I pray and ask for answers
But all that I can hear

Chorus
Wait, I say wait
Right now it’s hard to understand
But through it all, I’ll hold your hand
And calm you with my love
Wait, I say wait
Trust my heart and love my ways
Delight in me in all your days
While you wait

Everybody’s prayers are met but mine
But I know that you will answer in your time
I want your joy in me, Lord
I know you have a plan
And through it all you’ve shown me
Only You can satisfy

The Prodigal

There was a young man who had the best of everything
He was last born of a wealthy man
But he was not satisfied with the best of everything
So he took his possessions in his hand
He traveled far and wide and he tasted worldly pleasures
But deep inside he was lonely without measure
He wound up in a pigpen nearly dead
Then he raised his eyes toward heaven and he said

Chorus
I will arise and go back to my Father’s house
I will beg him to forgive me for the fool I’ve been
I will arise and go back to my Father’s house
I will gladly be a servant if he’ll take me back again

I was a young man who had enough of everything
I was the last born of a hardworking man
But I was not satisfied with enough of everything
So I took my possessions in my hand
I traveled far and wide and I tasted worldly pleasure
But deep inside I was lonely without measure
I wound up in Prince Rupert lost and sad
Then I raised my eyes toward heaven and I said

Just How He Is

He sings in the nighttime
Over my head
Reminds me He loves me
When my heart feels like lead
He cries when I’m hurting
Tear for my tear
And tells me with love
That He’ll always be here

Chorus
That’s just how He is
A Father who cares
Who hurts when we walk away or
fall down the stairs
He knows all our dreams
And feels all our pain
He’s not there to laugh at us or tie us to a chain
He knows what is best
And aches for our hearts
He’ll love us forever
That’s just how He is

He’ll never abandon us
He’ll be by our side
Changes our hearts to Him
And gently will chide
The plans of His heart
Are bigger than ours
Better than anything
That’d we’d ever dream

I Believe He’s Coming Back

High upon a mountain
From where He ascended
An angel of the Lord
Declared that it would be
He said, don’t you stand there grieving
For the one that you see leaving
In like manner’s coming back for you and me

Chorus
I believe He’s coming back like He said
I believe that a trumpets’ gonna sound so loud
One day t’will wake the dead
In the twinkling of an eye
He’ll split the eastern sky
And I believe He’s coming back
