Lyrics:

hey are more precious than gold
Sweeter than the honey
They are more precious than gold
And the honey comb

The laws of the Lord are perfect
Reviving the soul, reviving the soul
Reviving the soul

They are more precious than gold
Sweeter than the honey
They are more precious than gold
And the honey comb

They make wise the simple
They give joy to the heart
Light to the eyes
Enduring forever
Righteous altogether
They bring great reward

The laws of the Lord are perfect
Reviving the soul, reviving the soul
Reviving the soul

May the words of my mouth
And the meditation of my heart
Be pleasing in your sight
O Lord my rock
My rock and my redeemer
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer

The laws of the Lord are perfect
Reviving the soul, reviving the soul
Reviving the soul

They are more precious than gold
Sweeter than the honey
They are more precious than gold
And the honey comb

Scriptural Reference:

"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul... They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honey comb...

The glory of Jesus

He has given us new birth into a living hope
Through his resurrection from the dead
He has given us a new birth into inheritance
That can never perish, spoil or fade
In this we greatly rejoice even though we suffer
Grief and trials, we have genuine faith
We are filled with joy, we love him, we believe in him
Even though we have not seen his face

Joy inexpressible and glorious
We are receiving the goal of our faith

Repeat Chorus

He prophets intently searched, searched with the greatest care
To find the time when Christ would come
It was not revealed to those who were searching then
But now we know the glory of the Son
Concerning this salvation the grace that has come to us
Praise God the mystery's been revealed
We are filled with joy, we love him we believe in him
And angels long to look in these things

Joy inexpressible and glorious
We are receiving the goal of our faith

Reapeat Chorus

Scriptural Reference:

"Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade . . . In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith . . . may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told to you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things." 1 Peter 1:3-12

Lyrics:

What do you think
If a man owns a hundred sheep
And one of them wanders away (one of them wanders away)
What do you think
Will he not leave the ninety-nine (oh, and go to look for him)
And go to look for the one who went astray (he went astray)

And if he finds it, I'll tell you the truth
He is happier about that one (about that one) when he finds it
Then about the other ninety-nine

What do you think (what do)
What do you think (you think)

In the same way, your Father in Heaven's
Not willing that anyone be lost (no one be lost) (be lost from the Father's love)
So don't you look down upon those little ones of His (for the Son)
For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost (to save the lost)

And if he finds it I'll tell you the truth
He is happier about that one (about that one) when he finds it
Then about the other ninety-nine

(Interlude - What do you think)

And if he finds it I'll tell you the truth (I tell you the truth, I tell you the truth)
He is happier about that one when he finds it (when he finds it)
Then he is about the other ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
Oh when he finds it
Oh when he finally finds it (bring him back home)
He'll wrap him in a robe and bring him back home
When he finds it (when he finds it)
And celebrate with the ninety-nine

What do you think (what do you, what do think about it)
What do you think, you think about it (what do you, what do really think)

Scriptural Reference:

"Then Jesus told them this parable: 'Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.'" Luke 15:3-7

Scriptural Reference:

"'Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.'  Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, 'Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance.  The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.'"  Deuteronomy 31:6-8

Listen to Him

Words and music: Keith Lancaster © 1990 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)

Lead: Gary Moyers

Lyrics:

Peter went with James and John
Jesus led them to a mountain
A voice from heaven said
A voice from heaven said to them
"Listen to Him"

You gotta listen to Him
Listen to Him

His shining face like the sun
His shining face shone to everyone
His clothes became as white
His clothes became as white as light
Listen to Him

You gotta listen to Him (listen to Him)
You gotta listen to Him (listen to Him)

Moses and Elijah talking there with Jesus
A cloud enveloped them
Terrified, the disciples face down to the ground
Looked up and the only one they found was Jesus
Glorified, Glorified

This is My Son whom I love
This is My Son whom I love
With Him I am well pleased
With Him I am well pleased
Listen to Him

You better listen to Him (listen to Him)
Wo listen to Him (listen to Him)
Listen, listen, listen because:

This is My Son whom I love
This is My Son whom I love
With Him I am well pleased
With Him I am well pleased
Listen to Him

Listen to Him (repeated with interjections and fade)

Scriptural Reference:

"Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: 'This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to Him!' Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus." Mark 9:7-8

There is No Other Name

Words and music: Keith Lancaster © 1995 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
This song also appeared on In His Presence by The Acappella Company.
Lead:

Lyrics:

Chorus:
There is no other name
There is no other name
Under heaven given to men
By which we must be saved
There is no other name
There is no other name
Every tongue will confess
The blessed name of Jesus

There is one who can heal the diseases of the body
There is one who can heal the diseases of the soul
Others try and pretend that they have this kind of power
But there's no other name that you really need to know

Repeat Chorus

In the name of the Lord we have found complete redemption
In the name of the Lord we have hope beyond the grave
And there's no other way to be sure we're bound for heaven
There is no other name with the awesome pow'r to save

Repeat Chorus

Every tongue will confess
The blessed name of Jesus

Scriptural Reference:

"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."  Acts 4:12
