Lyrics:
I love to sing and I love to pray
I worship the Lord most every
day
I go to the temple and I just want to stay
To hide from the
hustle of the world and its ways
Chorus:
I love to live on a mountain top
And be fellowshipping
with the Lord
Love to stand on a mountain top
Because I love to feel
my spirit soar
But I must come down from that mountain top
To the
people in the valley below
They'll never know that they can go
To
the mountain of the Lord
They can go to the mountain yeah...
Praising the Father is a good thing to do
I worship the trinity in
spirit and truth
But if we worship all of the time
There would be no
one to lead the blind
Repeat Chorus
Well I am not saying that worship is wrong
Worship is more than just
singing a song
It's all that you say and everything that do
It's
letting His spirit live in you
Repeat Chorus
They can go to the mountain of the Lord
They can go yeah
They can
go (they can go to the mountain)
They can go yeah
They can go (go to
the mountain)
They can go, they can go to the mountain (fade)

Lyrics:
If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
And
I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my
heavenly father to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands
for freedom and they can't take that away.
Chorus:
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm
free,
And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to
me,
And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still
today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless the
U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the
plains of Texas from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's pride in every American heart and it's
time we stand and say:
Repeat Chorus (x2)
God Bless the U.S.A.
Scriptural Reference:
"But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it--he will be blessed in what he does." James 1:25

Lyrics:
You can buy a ticket to Paris
You can buy a ticket to Rome
You
can buy a ticket to Sweeden
But you can't buy a ticket for that
heavenly home
Chorus:
You see, Jesus is your ticket to heaven
And, oh, it's
going to be so nice
Whoa, Jesus is your ticket to heaven
And he's
already paid the price
He is your ticket to heaven
You can buy a ticket for an airplane
You can buy a ticket for
coach
You can buy a ticket for a subway
But you can't buy a ticket
for that heavenly home
Repeat Chorus
Once you get your ticket, you don't have to worry 'bout a
cancellation
You'll be travelin' first class, so go ahead and make your
reservation
Repeat Chorus
[Tickets please... I don't have one
What? You don't have
one?... No, can I buy one?]
No, you can't buy a ticket for that heavenly home
Repeat Chorus
He is your ticket to heaven
No, you can't buy a ticket for that
heavenly home
Scriptural Reference:

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus."

Lyrics:
Lately I've been thinking as I look all around me
I see by the signs
that we're soon going to be leaving
The bridegroom is coming to take us
all away
May be tomorrow, but I pray that it's today
Chorus:
And we will fly away in the twinkling of an eye
Leaving
all our heartaches and telling them all goodbye
Yes we will fly away
when he hears His Father say,
"Jesus, go and get your bride, today's
your wedding day"
Now when we see the bridegroom in the clouds in the sky
Will he be
telling you hello or telling you goodbye?
Oh, be sure and be ready to
meet Him face to face
We've got to fight the good fight, we've got to
keep our faith
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory. For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." Revelation 19:7

Lyrics:
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing that you can be born
again
Hear the bells ringing, they're singing Christ is risen from the
dead
The angels up on the tombstone
Said He has risen, just as He
said
Quickly now, go tell his disciples
That Jesus Christ is no
longer dead
Joy to the word, He has risen, hallelujah
He's risen,
hallelujah
He's risen, hallelujah
Repeat All
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Scriptural Reference:
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place
where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen

him.' Now I have told you." Matthew 28:6-7
"He has risen! He is
not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples

Lyrics:
When you're up against a struggle
That shatters all your
dreams
And your hopes have been cruelly crushed
By Satan's
manifested schemes
And you feel the urge within you
To submit to
earthly fears
Don't let the faith you're standing in, seem to
disappear
Chorus:
Praise the Lord
He can work with those who praise
Him,
Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise,
Praise the
Lord
For the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise him
Now Satan is a liar
And he wants to make us think
That we are
paupers
When he knows himself
We're children of the King
So lift
up the mighty shield of faith
For the battle has been won
We know
that Jesus Christ has risen
And the work's already done
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Praise Him
Praise the Lord
Scriptural Reference:
"Then David said to the whole assembly, "Praise the Lord your God." So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers; they bowed low and fell prostrate before the Lord and the king." 1 Chronicles 29:20

Chorus:
Shut de do, keep out de devil
Shut de do, keep de devil
in the night.
Shut de do, keep out de devil
Light de candle,
everything is alright
Light de candle, everything is alright
Oh when I was a baby child (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
Good and
bad was just a game (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Many years
and many trials, (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
They proved to me
they’re not the same (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Repeat Chorus
Oh, Satan is an evil charmer (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
He’s
hungry for a soul to hurt (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
And
without your holy armor (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
He will eat you
for dessert! (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Repeat Chorus
Well heh, hey, hey, hey, shut de do
Hey, hey, hey, shut de
do
Hey, hey, you better shut de do
Say a prayer, he won’t be here
back no more.
My mama used to sing this song (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
Papa
used to sing it too (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Jesus came
and called them home (Shut de do, keep out de devil)
And so I sing this
song for you (Shut de do, keep de devil in the night)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
You know you light de candle, everything is alright
You know you
light de candle, everything is alright

Lyrics:
In these days of confused situations
In these nights of restless
remorse,
When the heart and the soul of a nation
Lay wounded and
cold as a corpse
From the grave of the innocent Adam
Comes a song bringing joy to the
sad.
Oh your cry has been heard and the ransom
Has been paid up in
full, be ye glad
Chorus:
Oh, be ye glad, oh, be ye glad.
Every debt that you've
ever had
Has been paid up in full by the grace of the Lord.
Be ye
glad, be ye glad, be ye glad
So be like lights on the rim of the water
Giving hope in a storm sea
of night
Be a refuge admist the slaughter
Of these fugitives in
their flight
For you are timeless and part of a puzzle.
You are winsome and young
as a lad.
And there is no disease or no struggle
That can pull you
from God, be ye glad
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy." Isaiah 65:18 (KJV)

Lyrics:
I found it hard to believe someone like you cared for me
You put
this love in my heart
I tried but could not refuse, you gave me no time
to lose
You put this love in my heart
I want to know where the bad feelings go (feelings go)
When I'm
depressed and I get down so low
And then I see you coming to me and
it's alright (it's alright)
I want to tell you right now, I'm not afraid to say how
You put this
love in my heart.
There are sometimes when I doubt, but you
always find me out
You put this love in my heart
Cause when I see all that you've done for me (done for me)
It's hard
to doubt, I just have to believe
Cause you followed up, proven all your
love
Well I know the loneliness I had before (oh I had before),
Is gone
now, I'll never feel it anymore,
Cause your love has released me from
all that's in my past,
And I know I can believe you,
When you say
I'll never be forsaken, Your love is gonna last (gotta believe your love,
it will last)
There's so much more I could say, if I could just find a way
You put
this love in my heart
Is this real or a dream, I feel so good I could
scream
You put this love in my heart.
I want to know where the bad feelings go (feelings go)
When I'm
depressed and I get down so low
And then I see you coming to me and
it's alright (it's alright)
You put this love in my heart
You put this love in my heart, yeah,
you put this love in my heart (repeat and fade)
