Lyrics:
Cappella... Cappella... Cappella... Cappella
Well, There's a light that's from the window and it shines down on the
street
There's some guys standing on the corner making that good old
harmony
Now there's a light that's from the window and it's sent to the
street corner symphony
Let 'em sing let 'em shout cause they're singing
that good old harmony
Chorus:
Singing it soul to soul, Brother to brother
A
cappella--Well it sounds good to me
Singing it soul to soul, Brother to
brother
A cappella--Well it sounds good to me
And now I turn out the light say goodnight to another day
I'm gonna
rest my weary head in my long awaited bed
I'm gonna get on my knees and
pray, ask the Lord to give me just one more day
Oh Lord, hear my
plea--This music just sounds so good to me
Repeat Chorus
You know we're singing for the Lord and now we're feeling mighty
good
Yes we're praising God the Father like we know all Christians
should
We don't need any type of guitar or an instrument to use
Oh
it sounds good to me and I'm hoping it sounds good to you
Repeat Chorus
I wanna hear some acappella
Nothing compares to the soul singin

Sounds so sweet makes my days go better
I wanna hear some

Lyrics:
He's in the neighborhood
Neighborhood
Have you heard of the woman
With the issue of blood?
She tried
every cure
She could think of
Can you imagine the hope that she
found
When a neighbor came around
And said, "You'll never guess
Who's walking down the street"
Chorus:
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood, He's
in the neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good
(miracles)
He's got the kind of power
That makes people
whole
Now, that's the kind of man
That you really ought to
know
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood)
Do you remember Zacchaeus?
The wee little man
He climbed up in a
tree
To get a glimpse of the Master first hand
All that he knew was
hate and greed
All he felt was an aching need
Can you see his
face?
When someone in the crowd cried out
Repeat Chorus
Times are certainly changin'
And that's for sure
My God is the
very same
Yesterday, and today and forevermore
If you have a need in
your life
Got a demon you need to fight
Take courage in the
words
That you are about to hear
Listen to me...
Jesus is in the neighborhood (Jesus is in the
neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good
He's got the kind
of power
That makes you whole
A power that you really should know
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood, He's in the
neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good (miracles)
Yes,
He's doing good
He's got the kind of power
That makes people
whole
The compassionate God
That you really ought to know
Jesus
is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood) (Yes, He is)
Jesus is
in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood) (performing miracles and
doing good)
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the
neighborhood)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, He's in the neighborhood
Scriptural Reference:
"A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, 'Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.'" Luke 19:2-5

Lyrics:
Sailing (I'll never give up) sailing, sailing (Sailing the ship upon
the sea)
Sailing (I'll never give up) sailing, sailing (Sailing the
ship upon the sea)
(I'll never give up)
Chorus:
I'm sailing my ships upon God's sea
And I'll never get
lost for He will guide me
I've set a course for eternity
And I'm
sailing my ships upon God's sea
Yes I'm sailing my ships upon God's sea
Relationships that sail in the world (we're sailing, our ships our
sailing)
Can be beaten, battered, broken, and torn (we're sailing, our
ships our sailing)
But if you sail those ships in the Lord (we're
sailing, our ships our sailing)
They'll make it through the toughest
storm (we're sailing, our ships our sailing)
Friendships they never
fail
For friends in God will always sail
Sail upon God's sea
forevermore
Sailing with the Lord
Repeat Chorus
Spoken Vocal:
Land Ho!
Alright me mateys (?)
Storm comin'
lads
Down the hatch
Full speed ahead
Hardships come and they go
And can take the wind right out of your
sail
But if He sets your course, He will show
How the Spirit's
guidance will prevail
Lordship - He is my Lord
My captain, and the
light of this world
He is the one who can guide me
He'll guide my
way with me every day
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)
Yes I'm sailing my ships upon God's sea

Lyrics:
Your heart is high tonight
You feel like doin' right
Your faith
is outta sight, you're gonna hold on tight
Never felt like this
before
Didn't know there's so much more
Now you're really gonna
soar, You're walkin' through the door
But tomorrow when the pressure's on
You undo the things you've
done
So many promises and now there's none
Chorus:
It's a spiritual one night stand (spritual,
spiritual)
Love is here today but gone tomorrow (here today, gone
tomorrow)
Peace and joy right here in your hand (peace and joy, peace
and joy)
But you leave it all behind for pain and sorrow (leave it all,
pain and sorrow)
Yesterday, today, and always
He'll go to church today
His ten percent he'll pay
He'll bow his
head to pray and listen to the words they say
He'll sing the holy
songs
It seems he does no wrong
He's got his best suit on, he wears
a mask 'till Sunday's gone
'Cause tomorrow when the pressure's on
He'll undo the things he's
done
So many promises and now there's none
Repeat Chorus
Bridge (just another day)
She feels the heat is on
She knows she's doin' wrong
Her burden
ways a ton, it's too late, the deal is almost done
Her parents love her
so
They taught her well she knows
She sees which way to go, it's not
the way the river flows
When the pressure's on
Can't undo the things you've done
So many
promises and but now there's, now there's none
It's a spiritual one night stand (spritual, spiritual)
Love is here
today but gone tomorrow (here today, gone tomorrow)
Things you've
done...
Peace and joy right here in your hand (peace and joy, peace and
joy)
But you leave it all behind for pain and sorrow (leave it all,
pain and sorrow)
Pressure's on...
It's a spiritual one night stand
(spritual, spiritual)
Love is here today but gone tomorrow (here today,
gone tomorrow)
Love will be here today, don't let it leave again (spritual)
Don't
leave the joy behind, hope for the pain (spritual)
Love will be here
today, don't let it leave again (spritual)
Don't leave the joy behind,
hope for the pain (spritual)

Chorus:
Roll that stone away, roll that stone away
Lord God,
Almighty gonna roll that stone away
You promised you'd rise on the
third day
Lord God, Almighty gonna roll that stone away
Jesus was a man free from sin we know
And He taught us that we reap
the very things we sow
He taught us parables of life we see today
On
that third day

They mocked Him and they scourged Him, said His words were lies
But
Jesus had compassion with pity in His eyes
And I can't wait to see what
He has to say
On that third day
Repeat Chorus
Interlude (Roll it, gonna roll that stone away, oh gonna roll it)
Rap:
Oh, you gotta roll it, the tomb it couldn't hold Him
Hey,
third day--no time to play
I've got an empty grave as my
testimony
That the promises of God sho ain't phony
He's legit, He's
livin', and He's comin' back
To take us home, now what about
that?
It's one, two, three--what a glorious day
When the Lord God,
Almighty rolled the stone away
He's coming back, that's one thing for sure
He's looking for the
blameless, the righteous, and the pure
I can't wait to see what He has
to say (see what He has to say)
On the third day
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Divine creator becomes creation

Overcoming my hurt with this pain
