Christian acapella

For my great grandparents, Vance and Oleta.

Lyrics:

1.
When softly loosed are silver lines
And youthful days are gone,
My soul will gaze out over the pines
And Jesus will take me home.

My soul will never grow old;
My vessel will be made to hold.
My Lord, I long for that land o'er the pines
Where waiteth my heavenly home.

2.
My brother, what else shall we bring?
For flowers, fading, fall.
My Father, take this life from me
Unto Thy trumpet call.

My soul will never grow old;
My vessel will be made to hold.
My Lord, I long for that land o'er the pines,
But I cannot stand alone–
O Risen, please carry me home.

O Risen, Take Me Home - Haden A. Ayers

Come to the Water - Jason Coon

–Lyrics–

1.
We’re lost in this world of great pain and woe,
Where Satan’s pow’r only seems to grow,
But we know that there is a place of rest,
For God has sent His very best.

2.
We’ll sing of Your grace ‘til Your Son returns.
We pray to You; help our hearts to learn
Of what You have done and what You’ve forgiv’n
That we might see You someday in heav’n.

CHORUS.
Over sickness and pain, over fear, over hate,
Over every burden, even when they seem great.
Over Satan’s best plans, o’er the pow’r of the grave,
Over all that this world may throw our way.
You claim victory, dear Lord, for me.

CODA.
We claim victory, dear Lord, through Thee.

Victory - Jason Coon & Kelan Owen

Like An Only Child - Ivan Costa

Lyrics:

v1
God of all, hear my cry!
I am thankful for the blessings
That You bestowed to me.
Creation sings the song of life.
Lord, hear us sing!

Thank You for all the freedoms
And the joys of daily life
Thank You, Lord, for the precious gift,
Of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

v2
God of all, hear my cry!
There are many who are sick
In spirit and in mind.
Please, pull them from Satan’s shadows,
No longer to be blind.

The ill in health and the poor in wealth,
Need your gentle, helping hand.
Lord, please heal them and help them face,
This sinful land.

v3
God of all, hear my cry!
Lord, I fear the flame is low,
That once lit my heart aflame.
I am hurting from my sin.
Lord, I call on Your name!

Please, hold me in your warm embrace;
Guide me through this world of stress.
Heat my heart to ignite again.
Fill me with Your righteousness!

Chorus
God of all, hear my cry!
Let these things be done,
By Your will, not mine.
Please, forgive these sins in my life.
Thank You for Jesus Christ.

All these things, I humbly pray,
In Jesus’ holy name.
Amen.

God Of All, Hear My Cry! - Andrew Martin & Austin Jones

Lyrics:

v1
God’s heights are far greater than all of our lows.
His word, it protects us against Satan’s blows.
Though we may have struggles facing such a foe,
God is always with us; no question, we know!

v2
Our Heavenly Father, the Spirit, the Son,
Salvation completed, the victr’y’s been won.
So much He’s accomplished, so much He has done.
Where e’re this life takes me, to You I will run.

v3
Our Savior, Messiah, and our Brother too.
When we keep His commands, His love makes us new.
So, abide in His word, He’ll abide in you,
And joy for the journey can be yours, it’s true!

Bridge
To rejoice is a choice, so friend follow His way.
The path that is narrow, that’s where you must stay!

Chorus
I have joy for the journey, I have peace in my soul
I have faith in my Savior while the ages shall roll.
I know that He’s returning to take me to my home.
I have joy for the journey, no matter where I roam.

Joy For The Journey - Andrew Martin & John Harding

Lyrics:

v1
With voices of joy, we sing praise to the King!
Oh, friend, lend me an ear, hear the news that we bring.
God loved us so much that He gave us His Son,
Who died and rose; for us, the vict’ry He won!

v2
With hearts full of love, we show thanks to the Lord!
He inspired the writers who gave us His Word.
That Word speaks so loud and it shows us the way,
So we may follow and be with Him that day!

v3
With voices so soft, we lift prayers to our God.
We plead for forgiveness, His mercy, and love.
We thank Him for blessing our small, earthly lives.
With one voice, shouting, “Praise His name up on high!”

Chorus
Our praise be to God! He is our great escape.
He shields us from sin and the venom of the snake.
He could have brought His wrath, but He held it in its place.
That’s why we sing His praise!

Why We Sing - Andrew Martin & Austin Jones

Lyrics:

v1
In the shadows of all my faults,
Oh Lord, from You I stray.
I am lost within the echoes
Of all my own dismay.
Though, unworthy of Your favor,
You shower me with grace.
In Your boundless love, I find my home awaits

v2
Though I’m unworthy of You, Lord,
You see beyond my flaws.
Your love, perfect in beauty
Can break through all my walls.
In the tenderest voice of mercy,
Lord, You call me by my name,
Lifting me from my sorrow and my shame.

v3
Throughout all trials that I face,
And every tear I cry,
You hold me ever near You,
And never pass me by.
In Your boundlessness of mercy,
Lord, my heart can find its song,
For within Your love, I know where I belong.

Chorus
I’m unworthy of Your grace.
I’m unworthy of Your face.
Though I’m so unworthy, Lord,
You came down to set me free.
I’m unworthy of Your grace.
