Oh that land (that land) where living waters (waters)

My soul (soul) is longing to be there
And some (and some) glad

'Tis a

Round the throne,

And some (some) glad day I know
(know) I'll go

Far above this vale of tears, doubts and fears, home appears
Home

Soon on wings of love I'll rise to

How Long Has it Been Since You Talked With the Lord?
Words and music: Cleavant Derricks
Lead: None
Lyrics:
How long has it been since you talked with the Lord
And told Him
your heart's hidden secrets?
How long since you prayed, how long since
you stayed
On your knees till the light shown through?
How long has it been since your mind felt at ease?
How long since
your heart knew no burden?
Can you call Him your friend, how long has
it been
Since you knew that He cared for you?
How long has it been since you knelt by your bed
And prayed to the
Lord up in heaven?
How long since you knew that He'd answer you
And
would keep you the long night through?
How long has it been since you walked with the dawn
And felt that
the days worth a-living
Can you call Him your friend, how long has it
been
Since you knew that He cared for you?
Scriptural Reference:
"Then one who looked like a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and began to speak. I said to the one standing before me, 'I am overcome with anguish because of the vision, my lord, and I am helpless. How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe.' Again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength." Daniel 10:16-18

Lyrics:
There's a sweet sweet spirit in this place
And I know that it's the
spirit of the Lord
There are sweet expressions on each face
And I
know they fell the presence of the Lord
Chorus:
Sweet Holy Spirit
Sweet heavenly dove
Stay right here
with us
Filling us with your love
And for these blessings
We lift
our hearts in praise (in praise)
Without a doubt we'll know that we
have been revived
When we shall leave this place
There are blessings you cannot receive
Till you know Him in His
fullness and believe
You're the one to profit when you say
"I am
going to walk with Jesus all the way"
Repeat Chorus
