to tell them what God can do
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Repeat Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Satan trembles when he sees (hallelujah)
The weakest saint down on

‘Cause heaven knows the power of prayer
Comfort when I
feel afraid (hallelujah)
A light when I have lost my way
Lifting
burdens that I bear
You’re always on (you're always on) my heart and
mind
I know you pray (I know you pray) for me and
I hope you know (I
hope you know) you’ve shown me what God can do (what my God can do)

Starving for somebody to care
When a child cries in the night
(hallelujah)
Is someone there to show the light
And let them know
God is there
How can they see (how can they see) unless they’re
shown
Can they find God’s (how can they find) love alone
It’s up to
you (it's up to you) to tell them what God can do (what my God can do)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Repeat Chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Angles are singing...

Lyrics:
I’m going there (going there)
To heaven some day (going to heaven
some day)
I’m going home (going home)
He’ll show me the way (showing
me, showing the way)
In my heart sometimes I ponder
As down life’s road I wander
To a
city over yonder
Where peace and love abide
Where my trials are gone
forever
And the tears will find me never
You’ll see (you'll see)
that there’ll be (there'll be) a place for me
And I’m going there some
day (there some day)
I have started for a city (mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy
Lord)
That is free from shame and pity (mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy
Lord, mercy Lord)
It’s a bright eternal city (mercy Lord, mercy Lord,
mercy Lord, mercy Lord)
And I am traveling on my way (mercy Lord, mercy
Lord, mercy Lord)
Some day I’ll have to leave you (mercy Lord, mercy
Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord)
Don’t you let my parting grieve you
(mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord)
You’ll see (you'll
see) that there’ll be (there'll be) a place for me
And I’m going there
some day (there some day)
Dear Lord look down upon me (mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy
Lord)
And Lord (won't you) have mercy on me (mercy Lord, mercy Lord,
mercy Lord, mercy Lord)
I am just a weary pilgrim (mercy Lord, mercy
Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord)
Lord I am tired and (I am) so forlorn
(mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord)
Lord I (I want to) thank you for
your blessings (mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord)
And for
all that I’m possessing (mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy Lord, mercy
Lord)
You’ll see (you'll see) that there’ll be (there'll be) a place
for me
And I’m going there some day (there some day)
Mercy Lord

Lyrics:
A man named Noah
Started building a big boat
He didn’t know
whether
That gopher bark would float
But when the Lord says
jump
You do what you must do
So Noah made the very first
Floating
zoo (floating zoo)
Chorus:
And when the waves started rockin’
The ostriches
squawkin’
There was no way to hide in the sand (hide in the
sand)
And the elephants wondered
With all that thunder
Would this
ship ever hit land
But forty days later
All the alligators
And
the other creatures two by two (two by, two by two)
Well they opened
the door
And they thanked the Lord
For the very first floating
zoo
Well the neighbors laughed
At the cruise ship in the yard
And the
smell those creatures left
It made living hard
When it started to
pour
Well they all stood there in shock
But God shut the door
And
that sea cruise started to rock (started to rock)
Repeat Chorus
So when the rainbow shines
Just remember the time
And thank the
Lord you knew (knew, knew)
Ol’ Noah was floatin’
(spoken)
‘Bout the great big ark
That played a part
In the
very first floating zoo (floating zoo)
Scriptural Reference:
"And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him." Genesis 7:5

Faithful, faithful to the end
Holding on to the Savior’s

Comes a time you must take a stand
So be faithful, faithful to
the end
Repeat Chorus
By faith a baby takes a step
Though falling causes pain
Practice
making permanent
This painful walking game (this painful walking
game)
So be...

I stumble like a child at times
And getting up’s so very
tough
But falling brings me to my knees
And I’m not there near
enough (not there near enough)
So be...

The trials come upon us
We stand the test of time
We run or will
we falter
Our faith’s the bottom line (our faith's the bottom
line)
So be...

Christ will dwell in your heart
If you have the
faith
If you have the faith (sure of hope what we hope for, certain of

So be...

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Teach me, Lord (teach me Lord), to hear your voice (hear
your voice)
And to listen when you call (when you call)
And as you
take me stone (as you take me stone) by stone (stone by
stone)
There will be no wall (there will be no wall) at all
This wall I’ve built stands firm and tall
Protects me from my
feelings and my failures great and small
And even though sometimes I
hide behind this wall
This fortress makes it hard to hear when my
Father calls
Repeat Chorus
When friends you love are hard to find
The world seems to hit you,
attacking from all sides
We start to build a wall with stones of fear
and pride
The spirit longs to intercede, our cries from inside
Repeat Chorus
So Jesus take this wall from me
Remove each stone that I have placed
so carefully
With gentle hands the Great I Am will set me free
Then
this wall will crumble down and I’ll be released
Repeat Chorus
As you take me stone (as you take me stone) by stone (stone by
stone)
There will be no wall (there will be no wall) at all
Scriptural Reference:
"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility." Ephesians 2:14

Lyrics:
Well I know that God
He promised me
That He would always be
there
Though fame and fortune flee
And friends have come and
gone
I will not worry for I am not alone
One day my faith grew
weak
I stood on a troubled sea
I began to drown but Jesus lifted
me
Well He came just in time
And now I’m doing fine
And He never
lied to me
He never, He never, He never, no...
Chorus:
He never lied to me (He never, no, He never lied to
me)
Oh, my Jesus (He never, no, He never lied to me)
He never lied
to me (He never, no, He never lied to me)
He said when you get weary
(He never, no, He never lied to me)
Just put your trust in me (He
never, no, He never lied to me)
I’ll see you through all eternity (He
never, no, He never lied to me)
One day my faith grew weak (He, He, He
never lied to me)
I stood on a troubled sea (He never, no, He never
lied to me)
I began to drown (He never, no, He never lied to me)
But
Jesus lifted me (He never, no, He never lied to me)
He said He’d be my
friend
Until the very end
And He never lied to me
Promises I’ve made
I haven’t kept
Some things I’ve said
I sure
regret
But this thing I know
I was lost and now I’m found
He
brought me to some very solid ground
If your faith is weak
And
you’re on a troubled sea
I won’t let you drown
There’s hope for you
and me
I’ll throw you a life-line
And we’ll be doing fine
And He
never lied to me
He never, He never, He never, no...
Repeat Chorus (x2)
No He never lied, no He never lied
He never lied to me
Scriptural Reference:
"Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness-- a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior."

Lyrics:
I’ve got a Father
We’ve got a Father
Always tried to be home early not late
Didn’t want to see the
look on Daddy’s face
When I walked through door
And he’d been
waiting on me (waiting on me)
You see I wasn’t afraid of any
punishment
Just couldn’t stand the thought I’d disappointed
Daddy
One more time
And put a tear in his eye
You see he’s the
kind of father always hoped for the best
He was there for me when
everyone left (they all left)
Chorus:
And I’ve got a father (father, father)
Don’t want to let
him down
He’s got a faith in me
Farther than I can see
His love
for me abounds
He’s got plans and dreams (plans and dreams)
Of what
he wants me to be
And I don’t wanna disappoint Daddy
‘Cause I know
he loves me
One day I’m going to make it to that heavenly gate
Can’t wait to see
the look on God’s face
When I kneel down before
My one and only Lord
(Savior and Lord)
He’ll wrap His arms around me, I’ll climb on His
knee
Put my hand on His shoulder, breathe a sigh of relief
At home
I’ll be
Eternally
You see He’s the kind of Father never let me
down
He’s prepared for me a home and a crown (and a crown)
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
A long time ago a boy left home
Spent all the money he
would ever own
Came to himself ready to give up
Then he pictured
home and his father’s love
Repeat Chorus
I’ve got a Father (Father, Father)
We’ve got a Father (Father,
Father)
You’ve got a Father (Father, Father)
Don’t want to let Him
down
Scriptural Reference:
"So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him." Luke 15:20

Lyrics:
Spiritual life He’s given
And I’m livin’ this
Spiritual life He’s
given
And I’m livin’ this
Spiritual life He’s given
And I’m
livin’ this
Spiritual life He’s given
And I’m livin’ this
I was eight years old that Sunday (on Sunday evening)
When I heard
the preacher say (you know I heard him say)
The water’s just
right, come and change your life
Come forward and we’ll show
you the way (no hesitation)
I didn’t know where my feet were going
(they couldn’t keep me away)
Wild horses couldn’t keep me away (you
know I’d made up my mind)
You know I made up my mind and the time was
right (and the time)
To be born again that day
Chorus:
Spiritual life (spiritual life)
He’s given (He’s
given)
And I’m takin’ every step by faith (each step I
take)
Spiritual life (you know I’m livin’)
I’m livin’ (you know I’m
livin’)
Following Him closer each day (every day)
Well I’ve never
(I’ve never) been perfect
And I don’t claim to be
But I’ve never
(I’ve never, never) ever
Had to think twice (never had to think
twice)
Since I gave my soul to Jesus (with Jesus I'm living)
I’ve
been living this spiritual life (spiritual life, I’m living this
spiritual, spiritual life He’s given)
I had turned eighteen that evening (it was a Saturday night)
When he
gave me the key to his heart (you know he gave me his heart)
But when
push came to shove (from the start)
There was no compromise
You know
I said no right from the start (from the beginning)
I had made a
decision beforehand (a long time ago)
But it never was a sacrifice (not
any sacrifice)
But since I said yes (it was right) to Jesus
You know
I’ve been livin’ this spiritual life
Repeat Chorus
She was 78 that evening (in her hospital bed)
They said she’s lucky
if she’s here through the night (may go to heaven tonight)
Family and
friends (gathered ‘round)
Are all gathered around
In the distance
she could see the bright light (she could see the bright light)
Angels
they were singin’ (Hallelujah)
They were callin’ from the other side
(cross over to Jordan)
She said she’s ready to go to heaven
Where
she’ll keep living this spiritual life
Repeat Chorus
You know I'm living this spiritual life (spiritual life He’s given and
I'm living this)
I keep on a-living this spiritual life (spiritual life
He’s given and I'm living this)
You know I'm a-living this life
(spiritual life He’s given and I'm living this)
You know I'm a-living
this spiritual life (spiritual life He’s given and)
I'm living this
life
