When I'm down (when I'm down)
When I'm down (when I'm

When my heart (when my heart)
Is filled with fear and doubt
(fear and doubt)

When I lift up my head and he lifts up my heart
And my
troubles just all roll away
Roll away (roll away)
Stone's been
rolled away (roll away, Lord)
Roll away (roll away)
Stone's been
rolled away (roll away, Lord)
When I lift up my head and he lifts up my
heart
And my troubles just all roll away
Well I can't sit aside with my head to the ground
All through my
vision and way, way down
Well I've found the secret when I have to pray

Roll away

Lyrics:
Oh won't you go-go-go-go tell it
Tell it to all nations (tell it to
all nations)
Oh won't you go-go-go-go tell it
Tell the whole
creation (tell the whole creation)
Oh won't you go-go-go-go tell
it
If you don't they'll have no hope (go you know)
Jesus told you to
teach the word
Oh won't you go-go-go-go preach it
Preach it to the people (preach
in to the people)
Oh won't you go-go-go-go preach it
Preach about
the good news (preach about the good news)
Oh won't you go-go-go-go
preach it
If you don't they'll have no hope (go you know)
Jesus told
you to preach the word
Go and tell it (go and tell it), go and preach it, go and teach
Oh won't you go-go-go-go sing it
Sing about the Savior (sing about
the savior)
Oh won't you go-go-go-go sing it
Sanctified forever
(sanctified forever)
Oh won't you go-go-go-go sing it
If you don't
they'll have no hope (go you know)
Jesus told you to teach the word
Go and tell it (go and tell it), go and preach it, go and teach the Word

Words and music: McLean
Lyrics:
I got up one Sunday morning
Went to church at ten
I listened to
the words I'd heard time and time again
The preacher spoke of sinful
eyes
It seemed he spoke of mine
But I was young
I had plenty of
time
Chorus:
Plenty of time to decide where I'm bound
To eternal
darkness or to a heavenly crown
I'm just a young man
Not yet in my
prime
So I'll just wait
I've got plenty of time
Bridge:
You know as I was traveling down life's highway
Living
just the way I wanted to live
I was out to beat the other guy
And to
try to get whatever life could give
Now I know that making money, that
wasn't a sin
And having fun, that wasn't a crime
I thought I'd
wait
I had plenty of time
Repeat Chorus
Before I knew what had happened, life seemed to have passed away
And
millions stood before God's throne for it was Judgment Day
Now eternal
darkness blackens and the name he calls is mine
But I had thought that
I had plenty of time
Eternity waits
I've got plenty of time to think of all the days
Christ could have been in mine
My chance is over
Life's days are
left behind
And here am I, I've got plenty of time
Now I've got
nothing, but plenty of time
Scriptural Reference:
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32
Words and music: Keith Lancaster (1978)
Lyrics:
Well, you know where I would be without Jesus?
I'd be without a home
on high
I'd be apart from the joy that he constantly gives
I'd be
apart from hope when I die
But I know the day that I made Him
mater
I gave Him the complete control
Now I'll never be far away
from His side
He cares for me and lives in my soul
Chorus:
And I wanna thank you (thank you, Lord)
Thank you, Lord
(thank you, Lord)
Well, I wanna thank you (thank you, Lord)
Thank
you, Lord (thank you, Lord)
'Cause I've been so happy (I'm so
happy)
Such a ? (such a ?)
Won't you be side me (stay beside
me)
All the time (all the time)
Well when I obeyed He came to my rescue
He saved me from this life
of sin
He saved me from the path and the pain of this world
And I
can have a new life to begin
Well for all the things I am thankful
A
blessing I cannot repay
The Holy Son Jesus Christ affords
His
presence with me everyday
Repeat Chorus
Well I know that he loves me and he'll always be true
So from now to
forever, tell you what I'm always gonna do
Repeat Chorus
Thank you, Lord!
Scriptural Reference:
"'This is what the Lord says: 'You say about this place, 'It is a desolate waste, without men or animals.' Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither men nor animals, there will be heard once more the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord , saying, 'Give thanks to the Lord Almighty, for the Lord is good; his love endures forever.' For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the Lord." Jeremiah 33:10-11

Lyrics:
Hey, Lord
Don't you know that my
Chorus:
Jesus gave me water
You know Jesus gave me water
Oh
Jesus gave me water
And it was not from the well
Well there was a woman from Samaria
She came to the well to get some
water
It was there she met a stranger
And he did her story
tell
Well Jesus gave her a pitcher
And I reckon she was made
richer
From the water that he gave her
And it was not from the well
Repeat Chorus
Well a-that woman left for shouting
And there was no room for
doubting
That she had met a Savior
I'm gonna let his praises
swell
Every time she stood to doubt him
She's stop and think about
him
The man that gave her that living water
And it was not from the
well
Oh, Jesus gave me water
Jesus gave me water
Oh Jesus he gave me
water
I'm gonna let His praises swell
Jesus gave that woman
water
He gave her that living lasting water
Oh, and it was not from
the well
(Repeat)
Scriptural Reference:
"Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14

Lyrics:
I have been to the river
All my sins were washed away
I was born
into the family
Of my Savior today
I am changed, I am contented
'Cause for once, my life is
real
There's no other substitution
For the way that I, I feel
Chorus
I've been born again (I've been born again)
I've been born
again
I gave my soul and He took control
My wounded life to mend
I'll not worry 'bout tomorrow
Or be troubled 'bout the
past
There's no pain, and no more sorrow
For this joy of mine will
last
Spoken vocal:
I've been so many places, and I've been so lost.
But Lord, I believe with all my heart that there's never been a time
that you haven't been watching over me. If I could say one thing, I
just wanna say thank you for always giving me another chance. And I
am born again.
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse 1

On the resurrection morning
When all the dead in Christ shall
rise
I'll have a new body

Lyrics:
We read and heard a story from the Blessed Old Book
How the walls of
Jericho the people marched around
And when that trumpet sounded, how
the mighty walls shook
Walls around the city came a-tumblin down
Chorus:
The Lord delivered Daniel from the hungry lions' den
He rolled the
waters back before old Moses and his men
He led the people out of
Egypt's bondage and it's sin
The Lord, He calmed the ocean and the
mighty winds that blew
He saved the Hebrew children from the fiery
furnace, too
He rose up from the grave just like the prophets said He'd
do
Never will forsake us, matter not what may come
Safely He will
lead His faithful children on home
The Lord said, "Brother Jonah, go to Ninevah land"
But he disobeyed
the Lord by hidin' away
Then Jonah got converted to obey the
command
From the whale the Lord delivered him on that day
Repeat Chorus
The Lord has raised the dead and caused the blind men to see
He
cleansed the lepers spots and turned the water to wine
The Lord's the
same today and now forever will be
There's no other power like the
Savior Divine
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the
LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry
land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on
dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left."
Exodus 14:21-22

wonders in the heavens and on the earth. He has rescued Daniel from the

Keith Lancaster, Set Me Free by Acappella
and The Collection by
Acappella.
Producer's Note Excerpt from The
Collection: "I wrote this song over 20 years ago. In
borrowing from a choral, spiritual style, I tried to create the scene at
the cross; the defining moment in history. God became something he
was not (sin), so we could become something we are not (righteous)."
Lyrics:
Jesus prayed in the garden and poured out His heart for me
There has
been no love shown my mortal as in dark Gethsemane
He could have chosen
not to suffer treatment of the cruelest kind
But the lips of my pure
savior uttered not my will but thine
Let me tell you what He went through
You know He really didn't have
to
He could have easily just walked away
Then He said "not my will
but thine"
Well they took them and they beat Him and they mocked Him and teased
Him
The people kept a cryin "We gotta crucify Him"
"Crucify Him!
Crucify Him!"
Yet He said "not my will but thine"
Well they hung Him there in anger searchin' for some relief
They
nailed Him there in public right between the two thiefs
He tasted human
torture of the cruelest kind
But yet He said "not my will but thine"
Some were laughin', some were cryin' some were happy at His dyin'
I
don't see, I can't see how could this ever be?
Poor Jesus as He hung on
the tree He said
"Not my will but thine"
Not my will but thine
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

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Who is gonna save you then?
Cleanse and pass you out of
your sin?
What is gonna happen when this life ends
Who is gonna save
you then?
O wretched man, get a hold of yourself
Where comes your time and
your life and health?
Thinkin' you can make it with your money and
wealth
Where would you be without Him?
Repeat Chorus
O wretched man, get some sense in your head
How can money help you
when you're lyin' there dead?
Accept the one who loves you and died on
the cross
Don't live a day without Him
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
I used to be just like you
With nobody but myself to
blame
But then I gave my life to Jesus and I'll never, ever be the
same
Why don't you now confess him?
Repenting your wrong, bringing
the Lord in your life
And be baptized 'cause that's the way to get rid
of your sins
O wretched man, get all out of that rest
Or sin in the end, it will
take your place
What about the day when you see His face?
What would
you do without Him?
Repeat Chorus
Who is gonna save you then?
Cleanse and pass you out of your
sin?
What is gonna happen when this life ends
Who is gonna save
you
Who is gonna save you
Who is gonna save you then?

Words and music: Dowe and McNaughton
Lyrics:
Where he sat down
And there he wept
When he remembered Zion
For the wicked carried us away
Captivity required from us a
song
How can we think of a song in a strange land?
So let the words of our mouths
And the meditation of our
hearts
Be acceptable to the almighty God
Scriptural Reference:
"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord , my Rock and my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14

Lyrics:
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
And 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
Makin music with our voices like we know all Christians
should
We don't need any type of organs or an instrument to use
Oh
it sounds good to me and I'm hoping it sounds good to you
Repeat Chorus
Listen!
