In the Morning Light
In the morning light I see my Father’s hand
As the sun’s bright rays flood the hills of the land
The dark soon fades in the power of the day
To light my weary way
Chorus
When the night falls love gets so hard to see
But the Father is the strength to believe
Remember at night what you knew in the day
Till darkness fades away
In the darkest night I see my Father’s love
‘Cause the night is day to the King from above
The darkness calls heaven’s dew to the leaves
And brings new life to me
In the morning light I see the bluest sky
It’ll dim and fade with the coming of the night
The light and dark are a part of a plan
The Father’s loving hand
Nearer Still Nearer
Nearer still nearer close to thy heart
Draw me my Savior so precious Thou art
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast
Shelter me safe in that Haven of Rest
Shelter me safe in that Haven of Rest
Nearer still nearer nothing I bring
Naught as an offering to Jesus my King
Only my sinful now contrite heart
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart
Nearer still nearer while life shall last
‘Til safe in glory my anchor is cast
Through endless ages ever to be
Nearer my Savior, still nearer to Thee
Nearer my Savior, still nearer to Thee
In The Shadow of Your Wings
Not a sparrow can fall from the heavens
If you won’t allow it to be
No man can fall from your favor
If a man put his trust in the One he can’t see
Oh I want to fly like a sparrow
Who fears not the days yet to come
And sings in the shadow of your wings
A sparrow won’t try to deserve You
He’ll trust You to feed him again
No man can gain Your approval
But by faith in the One who washed my sins
Oh I want to fly like a sparrow
Who fears not the wrath from Your hand
He sings in the shadow of your wings
Chorus
I want to walk in the shadow of Your wings
I want to know You know what is best
And when troubles come I’ll be singing still
Let me rest in the shadow of Your wings
In His Presence
In the quiet of this hour, as I kneel before You now
I believe your promise to be faithful
I don’t always understand what Your perfect will demands
But I’ll learn to trust You more, in Your presence Lord
Chorus
In Your presence there is Comfort
In Your presence, there is peace
When we seek to know Your heart
We will find such blessed assurance
In Your holy presence Lord
There can be such sweet reward when we wait upon the Lord
As we take the time, He gives His perfect wisdom
To be found in Him alone, all our deepest secrets known
We’re surrounded by His grace, when we seek His face
In Your presence there is Comfort
In Your presence, there is peace
When we seek the Father’s Heart
We will find such blessed assurance
An ever open door
To know our Savior more
In the presence of our Lord
On His Knees
My father was well respected, in the town where I was raised
Folks knew that he was honest, he made sure they knew, that he was saved
To me, he was a giant, daddy stood past 6 foot 3.
But my dad was never taller than, when he, was on his knees
Chorus
‘Cause on His knees, he fought the battles, with the devil himself
And on his knees, he and Jesus, took care of the family
All the things that he showed me, ever live in my memory
But the one thing I remember most, is daddy on his knees
He stood by what he believed in, He wouldn’t back down from a fight
But he always did his fighting, right there at his bedside every night
He never was the hero, to the world he was to me
But I saw a side of daddy that most folks couldn’t see
Keep On The Sunny Side
There’s a dark and a troubled side of life
There’s a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view
Chorus
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day; it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life
Let us greet with a song of hope each day
Though the moments be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Savior always
Who keepeth everyone in His care
Though the storm in its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Storm and clouds will in time pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear
Who Will Survive the Storm
Satan has been raging like never before
Destruction all around us like a dark fatal storm
We wonder what will happen
Before this cloud passes on
If we don’t stand with Jesus
We must stand the test alone
Chorus
Who will survive the storm that is raging
Who will be left when the trial is done?
If the blood of the Savior
Is not the refuge you’re under
Then who will survive the storm?
The Bible has told us of the days that were coming
How me must be watchful and not be alarmed
Our faith will be tested by the wrath of confusion
Who will survive the storm?
O Glorious Love
In my darkness Jesus found me,
Touched my eyes and made me see
Broke sin’s chains which long had bound me
Gave me life and liberty
Chorus
O glorious love of Christ my Lord divine
That made Him stoop to save a soul like mine
Through all my days and then in heaven above
My song will silence never, I’ll worship Him forever
And praise Him for His glorious love
O amazing truth to ponder
He Whom angel hosts attend
Lord of heaven God’s Son what wonder
He became the sinner’s Friend
I Found It All In The Blood
Two thousand years have come and gone
And His blood is just as strong
As the day it flowed so free
From the cross at Calvary
Chorus
I found power in the blood
And forgiveness for my sins
I found a refuge from the storm
And sweet peace to live within
I found eternal life secure
And my soul has been made pure
Jesus gave me perfect love
I found it all in the blood
Jesus was the sacrifice
No one else could take His place
It was love that held him there
There’s nothing like His saving grace
When they laid Him in the tomb
Satan thought he’d sealed His doom
But on that third and glorious day
The angels rolled the stone away
Marvelous Grace
Love sought me, mercy found me
But it was grace, marvelous grace
That set me free
Oh, love saw my teardrops
Mercy had compassion
But it was grace, marvelous grace
That set me free
It was love that held my Savior to the old rugged cross
That mercy could be granted to me
Oh, Love, love and mercy could do nothing alone
It took grace to set me free
Grace, Grace, God’s grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, Grace, God’s grace
Grace that is greater than all our sins
It was love that held my Savior to the old rugged cross
That mercy could be granted to me
Oh, Love, love and mercy could do nothing alone
It took grace to set me free
I Talk To Him In Prayer
Within this life of pain of grief
When hope is gone, I cannot sleep
I find myself, alone with Him in prayer
He listens as to Him I cry
He understands my every sigh
When I talk, talk to Him in prayer
Comfort and assurance, I find alone with Him
Hope for the pathway, when it grows so dim
It’s all because He hears my prayer
And all because He is waiting there
To talk to me when I kneeled in prayer
It’s Still True
Well I’ve heard an old story of how a great King left
His mighty throne and He came to earth
All the way down to a lowly manger and appeared to a virgin birth
People started talking about what happened, no King had ever come that way
But even though it’s an old old story every word stills true today
Chorus
It’s still true that came that way; it’s still true that He died to save
Even though it an old old story, He’s a God that will never change
Hallelujah there’s still glory in every promise that He proclaimed
Every word of the old old story is still just as true today
Who’d have every believed that a King himself
Would’ve left his throne just to die for me
He laid aside all his wealth and glory just to hang there between two thieves
Everybody watching started talking no King had ever died that way
Even though it’s an old old story it’s still just as true today
The Mercies of God
The mercies of God! What a theme for my song
Oh! I never could number them o’er
They’re more than the stars in the heavenly dome
Or the sands of the wave-beaten shore
They great me at morn when I waken from sleep
And they gladden my heart at the noon
They follow me on into shades of the night
when the day with its labor is done
Chorus
For mercies so great, what return can I make
for mercies so constant and sure
I’ll love Him, I’ll serve Him, with all that I have
as long as my life shall endure
His goodness and mercy will follow me still
even on to the end of the way
I have a sure promise and that cannot fail
that His mercy endureth for aye.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise the true north strong and free
From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
God keep our land glorious and free, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

Where justice rules from shore to shore, from lakes to northern lights
May love alone for wrong atone; Lord of the lands make Canada Thine own
Lord of lands make Canada Thine own!
