Lyrics:
Are you giving to the world a smile (sunny smile)
Helping lessen
someone's dreary mile (dreary mile)
Do you greet the world with song as
through life you pass along
Cheering those who you may meet along
life's way
Chorus:
Give the world a smile each day (give the world a bright
smile every day)
Helping someone on life's way (helping someone on
life's dreary way)
From the paths of sin (paths of sin) bring the
wonderer in (bring them in)
To the master's fold to stay (to His
fold, yes forever to stay)
Help to cheer the lone and sad
(help cheer the sad, the lone and sad)
Help to make some pilgrim glad
(help make pilgrim, make somebody glad)
And let your life so be that
(life so be that) all the world might see
The joy of serving Jesus with
a smile (a bright sunny smile)
Give the world a happy song today (song today)
That will help some
pilgrim on His way (on His way)
You can tell him of the Lord and His
heavenly reward
If you'll only follow Jesus day by day
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it; the light of my face was precious to them." Job 29:24

Lyrics:
There's a Lighthouse on the hillside
That over looks life's
sea
When I'm tossed it sends out a light
That I might see
And the
light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead us o'er
If it
wasn't for the Lighthouse
My ship would be no more
Chorus:
And I thank God for the Lighthouse
I owe my life to
Him
For Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin
He has
shown a light around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't
for the Lighthouse (tell me)
Where would this ship be?
Everybody that lives about us
Says tear that Lighthouse
down
The big ships don't sail this way anymore
There's no use of it
standing round
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night
When just
in time I saw the light
Yes, the light from that old Lighthouse
That
stands up there on the hill
Repeat Chorus (x2)
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me)
Where would this ship
be?
Scriptural Reference:
"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the
world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the
light of life.'" John 8:12
"'Put your trust in the light while
you have it, so that you may become sons of light.' When he had finished
speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them." John 12:36

Chorus 1:
Oh Jesus, He gave her water (He gave her water, He gave
her water)
You know my Jesus gave her water (Oh my Jesus gave
her water, He gave her water)
Oh Jesus, He gave her water (He gave
her water, He gave her water)
But it was not from the well
Repeat Chorus 1
Well, there was a woman from Samaria (He gave her water, He gave her
water)
She came to the well to get some water (Oh my Jesus gave
her water, He gave her water)
It was there she met a
Savior (He gave her water, He gave her water)
And He did her
story tell (Oh my Jesus gave her water, He gave her water)
Well
she left my Savior singing (He gave her water, He gave her
water)
But she came to Him bringing (Oh my Jesus gave her
water, He gave her water)
The time she had water (He
gave her water, He gave her water)
But it was not from the
well
Repeat Chorus 1
On that woman He had pity (He gave her water, He gave her water)
And
she ran back to the city (Oh my Jesus gave her water, He gave her
water)
Crying glory hallelujah (He gave her water, He gave her
water)
I'm gonna let His praises swell (Oh my Jesus gave her water, He
gave her water)
Every time she'd doubt it (He gave her water, He gave
her water)
She'd stop to think about it (Oh my Jesus gave her
water, He gave her water)
About the man who gave her water (He
gave her water, He gave her water)
But it was not from the
well
Chorus 2:
Oh, gave her water (He gave her water, He gave her
water)
Jesus gave her water (Oh my Jesus gave her water, He gave her
water)
Oh my Jesus He gave her water (He gave her water, He gave her
water)
I'm gonna let His praises swell (Oh my Jesus gave her water, He
gave her water)
Jesus gave that woman water (He gave her water, He gave
her water)
He gave her that living lasting water (Oh my Jesus gave her
water, He gave her water)
Water, but it was not from the well
Repeat Chorus 2

Lyrics:
Amazing Grace, how sweet, how sweet the sound
That saved a
wretch like me
I once, I once was lost, but now, now I'm
found
Was blind, but now I see, yes I see
Twas grace that taught, it taught my heart to fear
And grace my
fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first
believed
When we've (when we've been there) been there (when we've been
there)
Ten thou- (ten thousand years) -sand years (ten thousand
years)
Bright shi- (bright shining as) -ning as (bright shining as) the
sun
We've no (we've no less days) less days (we've no less days)
To
sing (to sing God's praise) God's praise (to sing God's praise)
Than
when we first begun
Amazing Grace

This song also appeared
on Songs We Like to Sing by The
Sounds of Glory and as "There's Water in the Plan" on A Very
Special Time by Keith Lancaster.
Lead: Dale Underwood
Lyrics:
Chorus:
I know there's water (yes, there's water)
In the plan
(water in the plan)
Oh yes, there's water (yes, there's water)
In
the plan (water in the plan)
If you listen to the Bible (in the
Bible)
And not to man (and not to man)
You'll clearly understand (in
order to be forgiven)
If you want to be forgiven (be
forgiven)
No, not a work (no, not a work)
It's not an option (not an
option)
That you can shirk (that you can shirk)
Oh well there's
water (yes, there's water)
I know there's water (yes, there's
water)
He said there's water in the plan
On the birthday of the kingdom as we read it in the Bible in Acts
2:38
Peter told the people that they had to be forgiven before it was
too late
At the death of the Messiah they had ushered to be
hastened and there they crucified
The one and only Savior they stood
and watched Him die (on the cross of Calvary)
But then their eyes
were open and then they started to believe in just what Peter said
See
Jesus had been right so they had to make a point to see the Son of God was
dead
But the grave it wouldn't hold Him, 'cause the rock had been a
rollin' and He came forth from grave
The Prince of Peace that God had
sent to save
Repeat Chorus
Nicodemus came to Jesus and was told it was essential that he had to be
born again
Of the water and the spirit, yes He made it very clear that
there was water in the plan
And the last and final mission, just before
His great ascension He mentioned it once more
Go tell it and teach
it and do it in all the world (how to make disciples)
Even Paul
the great apostle had to write of its importance 'cause his sins had been
washed away
Though he was a persecutin' and Ananias came unto him
and he was born again that day
So if you want to put on Jesus and
be in His saving body well there is no other route
The word of God has
spelled it clearly out
Bridge:
Though men may teach against it and provide another
plan
Many roads are offerred by the world
But God needs no
improvement by a weak and feeble man
The Lord's way is the best I've
ever heard
Repeat Chorus
We all need water in the plan
Scriptural Reference:
"Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name
of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.'" Acts 2:38
"'Can anyone keep these
people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit
just as we have.' So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days."
Acts 10:47-48

Lyrics:
"A penny for your thoughts" I said to the old man
As he sat there on
the park bench all alone
With silver hair and wrinkled brown eyes
gleaming
He smiled and said "Just thinkin' 'bout my home"
I sat down and we shared some laughs together
And the cinema of
remembrance, it did roll
We talked about life's gains and yes its
losses
But mostly he just talked about His home
Chorus 1:
"Oh, I'm thinkin' 'bout home
Thinkin' 'bout goin'
home
Dreamin' 'bout leavin' here
I'm ready to be movin' on
It
won't be long before the sun will set and I'll be gone
But until then,
I'll be thinking 'bout home"
I said "Tell me old man where's your home and what's it like"
"Oh
ain't nothing 'round here that compares
You see a King had it
built and gave the deed to me
And all my family's already
there"
He said...

Lyrics:
If I could take you back in time
To what was on the Father’s
mind
When He sent His only Son
Away from home (away from home)
He
looked down on sinful man
And knew He had to have a plan
So He sent
Him down to Earth
To bring them home
Chorus 1:
Bring them home
Bring them home
I’ve reserved for
them a place around my throne
And someday they won’t have to
wait
Until they step through my gate
But until then, Son (until
then)
Bring them home
And while He walked here upon this earth
He talked about a
second birth
He talked about His Father’s house
And goin’ home
(goin' home)
He told them, “Don’t you be afraid
A mansion there for
you is made
And my Father’s waiting there
Sayin', 'Come on
home'”
Chorus 2:
Come on home
Come on home
You know you’re gonna see
the face upon the throne
And someday you won’t have to wait
Until
you step through my Father’s gate
But until then, child (until
then)
Come on home
And when my race on earth is run
And the victory is won
When the
trials of life are done
I’m goin’ home (goin' home)
So don’t you
mourn for me down here
’Cause I’ll be so happy there
And when my
Father calls for me
I’m goin’ home
Chorus 3:
Goin’ home
Goin’ home
You know I’m gonna take my
place around the throne
And someday I won’t have to wait
Until I
step through my Father’s gate
But until then I’m (until then)
I’m
goin’ home
Chorus 4:
Goin’ home
Goin’ home
You know I’m gonna see the
face upon the throne
And someday I won’t have to wait
Until I step
through that gate
But until then I’m (until then)
I’m goin’ home
But until then I’m (until then)
I’m goin’ home

Lyrics:
Oh when the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no
more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair (bright and
fair)
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other
shore
And the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there (roll is called up
yonder I’ll be there)
Chorus:
I’ll be there (oh I’ll be there)
I’ll be there
(hallelujah)
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there (oh I’ll
be there)
Singing glory hallelujah
I’ll meet you in the air
When
the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
And on that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall
rise
And the glory of His resurrection share (His resurrection
share)
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other
shore
And the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there (roll is called up
yonder I’ll be there)
Repeat Chorus
So let us labor for the Master from the dawn ’til setting sun
Let us
talk of all His wondrous love and care (wondrous love and care)
And
when all of life is over and our work on Earth is done
And the roll is
called up yonder I’ll be there (roll is called up yonder I’ll be
there)
Repeat Chorus
I’ll be there (oh I’ll be there)
I’ll be there (oh I’ll be
there)
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there (when the roll
is called I’ll be there)
Singing glory hallelujah
I’ll meet you in
the air
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there (I’ll be
there)
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there (I’ll be
there)
When the roll is called up yonder (oh when the roll is called up
yonder)
You know that I’ll be there (goodbye to sorrow and to
death)
I’ll be there
