Lyrics:
There's a Lighthouse on the hillside
That over looks life's
sea
And when I'm tossed it sends out a light
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 it all to
Him)
I owe my life to Him (for Jesus is the Lighthouse)
For Jesus is
the Lighthouse (and from the rocks of sin)
And from the rocks of sin
(He has shown His light)
He has shown a light around me (that I might
clearly see)
That I might clearly see
If it wasn't for the
Lighthouse (tell me)
Where would this ship be?
Well, everybody that lives about us
They say tear that Lighthouse
down
You know 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
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me)
Where would this ship
be?
Scriptural Reference:

speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them." John 12:36

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Oh, It's gonna rain
Well, it's gonna rain
Oh, you
better get ready
And bear this in mind
For God showed Noah the
rainbow side
"It won't be water, but fire next time"
Now way back in the Bible days
Noah told the people that it's gonna
rain
But when he did they didn't pay him no mind
So when it
happenned they were left behind
Repeat Chorus
So when the rains began to pour
They knocked on the window and
knocked on the door
But they didn't know exactly what they should
do
And you don't want that to happen to you
Repeat Chorus
Then Noah cried out, "I'm sorry my friends,
But God has shut the
door and you can't get in
If something doesn't happen to the hearts of
men
The same old thing is going to happen again"
I said, "The same
old thing is going to happen again"
You know, "The same old thing is
going to happen again"
Repeat Chorus
You know...
Repeat Chorus
He said, "It won't be water, but fire next time"
He said, "It won't
be water, but fire next time"
Scriptural Reference:
"I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off
by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the
earth." Genesis 9:11
"But the day of the Lord will come like a
thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be
destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare."

Lyrics:
They advertise it on the television
I hear them plug it
on the radio
How we've come to this I really do not know
We're
giving glory to the human race now
Man's evolving to a higher
place
We will see the wrath of God if things don't change
People led about by blind ambition
And nobody wants to be
outdone
Then they say "You gotta' look out for number one"
Chorus:
Jesus is still in control of my life
He's the
Master and second to none
One day the Lord will break open the
sky
So I guess you could say I'm looking out
I'm looking out for
Number One
Using people just to gain position
Whatever happened to
the golden rule
We've become a generation of power hungry
fools
People living for their reputation
To make a name that
everyone will know
What'll it take to show that life's no one-man
show
If you think that life is out to get you
And you feel you
gotta' protect yourself
Turn it over to the one who knows you so
well
Repeat Chorus
Number One
Repeat Chorus
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm looking out
Whoa oh whoa
oh

For the things he's brought

Well, I don't have the words to tell you how I feel
I
just don't know what I can say
But I'm not worthy to speak your holy
name
Yet you tell me you love me just the same

Well, I never thought that it could be this way
I never

But you found me when I was dying in my
sin
You looked at me with love and took me in

Lyrics:
You spoke the words and all the worlds came into order
Waved Your
hand and planets filled celestial skies
You placed the woman and the
man inside the garden
And though they fell they found compassion in
Your eyes
Chorus:
Lord I stand amazed at the wonder of it all (at the wonder
of it all)
Yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees
Lord I praise
You (Lord I praise You) because of who you are
Not for all the mighty
deeds that You have done (not for all the deeds)
Lord I worship You
because of who You are
It's all the reason that I need to voice my
praise
Because of who You are
One holy night you sent Your promise of a virgin
The promise grew as
You revealed to us Your heart
Enduring love displayed throughout Your
crucifixion
And with Your death You tore the darkened grave apart
Repeat Chorus
Lord I praise You (Lord I praise You) because of who You are
Not for
all the mighty deeds that You have done (not for all the deeds)
Lord I
worship You because of who You are
It's all the reason that I need to
voice my praise
Because of who You are
Because of who You
are
Because of who You are
Scriptural Reference:
"So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life--not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel." 2 Timothy 1:8-10

Lyrics:
He was born to this world through a virgin
It was told
that way centuries before
He opened the entrance of heaven
So
strangers could pass through its doors
And few they would listen and less would believe
An
invisible kingdom they could not conceive
He sufferred a death that
purchased a crown for me
Chorus:
Blessed Messiah, my redeemer
You are the
mighty King of kings
Blessed Messiah, my redeemer
My Lord Messiah
came down to me
He spoke with the wisdom of angels
Of a kingdom that we
could not see
And he promised we'd live there forever
If only
through faith we'd believe
Wisemen still seek Him and no one can say
That this man
named Jesus is not who He claims
He rose from the dead and He lives
with me still today
Repeat Chorus
Through ages of time (ages of time)
Man did not see (man
did not see)
Redemption so blessed and so free
I don't deserve (I
don't deserve)
The gift that you gave (gift that you gave)
When you
sent your Son to me

Lyrics:
I'm gonna stop kicking my self around
Swimming in a pool
of pity
I'm gonna pick myself up off the ground
And get back to the
nitty gritty
It's just one step, two step
And then I'm back on my way
(on my way)
Sittin' around has just been getting me down
And that's
why I just have to say

That I'm giving up, giving up
I'll never give
up again (giving up, giving up now)
I'm giving up, giving up
And
hanging on 'til the end (giving up, giving up)

I'm gonna keep working with what I've got
Wait until the
clouds start breaking
Instead of sitting and wishing for a better
lot
Than the one already in the making
It's just one step, two step
And strength enough for
today (for today)
Working it out instead of fretting about
It's
gonna help to keep me on my way
Repeat Chorus
Lord,
Repeat Chorus
When it gets to hard to take it and I don't think I can make
it any longer
That's when I decide that I'm gonna take another stride
and ask the Lord to give me strength to hold on
Whoa...
Giving on up (giving up, giving on up)
I'll
never give up again (giving up, giving up now)
I said I'm giving up
(giving up, giving on up)

Well, I'm giving
up, I'm giving up (giving up, giving on up)
I'm giving up (giving up,
giving up now)
Well, I know that it sounds so simple (giving up, giving
on up)
But it's up to me (giving up, giving up)
(giving up, giving
on up)
(I'm giving up, giving up now)
Well, I know when it's through
(giving up, giving on up)
Your going to see me through it again (giving

Giving up, giving up (giving up,

And perhaps we'll never

'Til we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that

Chorus:
If we never meet again this side of heaven (never meet this

As we struggle through this world and its strife
(struggle through world and its strife)
There's another meeting place
somewhere in heaven (meeting place somewhere in heaven)
By the side of
the river of life (by the shining river of life)
Where the charming
roses bloom forever (roses bloom ever and ever)
And where separations
come no more (separations come never more)
If we never meet again this
side of heaven (never meet this side of heaven)
I will meet you on that
beautiful shore (meet you on that beautiful shore)
Oh, they say we shall meet by the river
Where no storm clouds ever
darken the sky
And they say we'll be happy in heaven
In the
wonderful sweet by and by

Something stays

Never passes away
Lord in times alone my heart has known
The quiet words of
your tender love
And your gentle touch that changes me
Even through
the storm I'm safe and I'm warm
For you have covered me with

In your hiding place I am at peace
Peace comes like the dawn
Peace like the world can't

You take my hand and I stand
Though others may fall

Lord, I just want to know what I can do for you
It seems most of my life
I was thinking about
myself
Even when I learned to call on you
And no matter what I
did
You were always there to see me through
Now I just want to know
what I can do for you
Lord, I just want to know what I can do for
you
Well, I'd give you all my time
And all the love that I
could find
I'd just lay it on the line
Like you did once for me
I
would change all my plans
Put my life into your hands
And I try to
understand
What you want me to be
'Cause it's taken all this time
For my heart to be taught
to say
"Whatever you want, that's what I want too"
Well, it won't
even up the score
But it's the least that I can do
Well, I just want
to know what I can do for you
Lord, I just want to know what I can do
for you
Well, I just want to know
Well, I just want to
know
Well, I just (just want to know) want to know (just want to
know)
Well, I just (just want to know) want to know (just want to
know)
Well, I just want to know

Lyrics:
Your only son, no sin to hide
But you have sent Him from
your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become a Lamb of
God
Chorus:
Oh, Lamb of God (Lamb of God)
Sweet Lamb of
God (sweet Lamb of God)
I love the Holy Lamb of God (the Holy Lamb of
God)
Oh, wash me in His precious blood (wash me in His precious
blood)
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
Your gift of love they crucified
They laughed and scorned
Him as He died
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the
Lamb of God
Repeat Chorus
I was so lost, I should have died
But you have brought me
to your side
To be led by your staff and rod
And to be called a lamb
of God
Oh, Lamb of God (Lamb of God)
Sweet Lamb of God (sweet
Lamb of God)
I love the Holy Lamb of God (the Holy Lamb of God)
Oh,
wash me in His precious blood (wash me in His precious blood)
'Til I am
just a lamb of God
Oh, wash me in His precious blood (wash me in His
precious blood)
'Til I am just a lamb of God

Lyrics:
I've got trials and tribulations
I've been 'buked and I've been
scorned
I'm hoping soon my trials will be over
And I want...
Somewhere (somewhere to lay my head)
To lay my head (somewhere to
lay my head)
Lord, I want somewhere (somewhere to lay my head)
To lay my head
(somewhere to lay my head)
Lord, I want somewhere (somewhere to lay my
head)
To lay my head (somewhere to lay my head)
Oh, when this life
(somewhere to lay my head)
Is all over (somewhere to lay my
head)
Lord, and my work (somewhere to lay my head)
On earth is done
(somewhere to lay my head)
Oh Lord, I want somewhere (somewhere to lay
my head)
To lay my head (somewhere to lay my head)
Oh Lord, I want
somewhere (somewhere to lay my head)
To lay my head (somewhere to lay
my head)

Somewhere
(somewhere to lay my head)
To lay my head (somewhere to lay my
head)
Job's wife (somewhere to lay my head)
She came running to him
(somewhere to lay my head)
She had the devil (somewhere to lay my
head)
In her eyes (somewhere to lay my head)
Now, she said Job
(somewhere to lay my head)
"Why you been sick so long? (somewhere to
lay my head)
Why don't you curse (somewhere to lay my head)
Your God
and die" (somewhere to lay my head)
Oh, Job looked at the woman
(somewhere to lay my head)
And into the sky (somewhere to lay my
head)
Said, "woman you sound foolish, (somewhere to lay my head)
You
don't sound like my wife" (somewhere to lay my head)
Repeat Chorus
Trials are dark (somewhere to lay my head)
On every hand (somewhere
to lay my head)
Lord, and we cannot (somewhere to lay my head)
We
cannot understand (somewhere to lay my head)
All the ways that
(somewhere to lay my head)
My God will lead us (somewhere to lay my
head)
Into His blessed (somewhere to lay my head)
Promised land
(somewhere to lay my head)
Oh Lord, I want somewhere (somewhere to lay
my head)
To lay my head (somewhere to lay my head)
When I get you I
want somewhere (somewhere to lay my head)
I'm wanna lay my head
(somewhere to lay my head)
Well, I want somewhere, somewhere
Lord, I want somewhere
Lord
(hallelujah), oh Lord (hallelujah)
Lord (hallelujah), oh Lord
(hallelujah)
I said amazing grace, how sweet the sound (hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
I once was lost, but now I'm found
(hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
Because he saved a
wretch, a wretch like me (hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah)
I once was blind, but now I see (hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah)
I'm singing Lord, oh Lord (hallelujah,
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
I, oh, I, oh, I oh, I oh, I oh, I
oh, I oh, I oh (hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
Somewhere to lay my head
Somewhere to lay my head (I want somewhere
to lay my head)

Curse God and die!' He replied, 'You are talking like a foolish woman.
Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?' In all this, Job did not
sin in what he said." Job 2:9-10
"I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation;
they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the

Lyrics:
Commit to the Lord whatever you do
And all of your plans will
succeed
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will take care of
your needs
So whatever you do whether work or play
Give your best
everyday
Chorus:
You've gotta work at it with all of your heart (with all of
your heart)
Work at it with all of your heart (That's workin not for
man)
As working for the Lord and not for man
You've gotta work at it
with all of your heart
You work at your job, you work hard at school
But the things of this
life fade away
But if you work for the Lord it is never in vain
And
he will guide your feet everyday
So with His word in your heart and His
love in your soul
You can press on to the goal
Repeat Chorus
Anything that is worthwhile deserves your heart (You know that it
deserves all your heart)
If you will not give it all don't even start
(Don't even start)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Work at it with all of your
Work at it with all of your
Work at
it with all of your heart.
Scriptural Reference:
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." Colossians 3:23
