Jesus is the One

Words and music:
Lead: Keith Lancaster

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Jesus is the one who saved my soul
He came to make a world of sinners whole (He came to make a world of sinners whole, sinners whole)
So if you are searching for a Savior, too (so if you are searching for Him too, Him too remember)
Remember Jesus gave Himself for you

Thinking about the wounded heart I could not hide
When I was hurting from the emptiness inside
I gave a chance for His sweet word to touch my soul
That's when He gave the greatest joy I'll ever know

Repeat Chorus

Thinking about the fruit of life I've come to know
The happy smile my weary face has come to glow
Well nothing else could change my life in this degree
So let me open up my heart for you to see

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Remember Jesus Gave Himself for you
Yes, for you (yes, for you)

Scriptural Reference:

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst."  1 Timothy 1:15

Everything's Fine

Words and music:
Lead: Keith Lancaster

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Everything's fine when you're taking the time to know Jesus (don't you wanna know Him)
Everything's fine when you're taking the time to know (Him) Him
The answers that you did not know (before you loved Him so)
Before you came to love Him so
(All become) All seem to come so clear (all become so clear)
Whenever my Lord is near
Everything's fine when you're taking the time to know Jesus (don't you wanna know Him)
Everything's fine when you're taking the time to know (Him) Him

Well, I used to worry and I used to fret
The world would get me so upset
It would make me weary and would make me frown
When it would tug and pull me down
But I was able to rise above
When Jesus pulled me by His love
I've been changed, forgiven, and He's so kind
He makes everything fine

Repeat Chorus

Well, I used to envy and I used to pout
The world had filled me up with doubt
It would make me jealous and would make me sad
When I was giving in to bad
But I was able to overcome
By all that Jesus Christ has done
He's done cleared my conscience and settled my mind
He says everything's fine

Everything's fine when you're taking the time to know Jesus (don't you wanna know Him)
Everything's fine when you're taking the time to know (Him) Him
Everything's, everything's, everything's fine
When I am making and taking the time
Everything's, everything's, everything's fine (everything's fine when you're taking the time to know)
Everything is fine, yeah

Scriptural Reference:

"What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ."  Philippians 3:8

Lead: Keith Lancaster

Lyrics:

Chorus:
El - Shaddai, El - Shaddai
El - Elyon na Adonai
Age to age you're still the same
By the power of the name
El - Shaddai, El - Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai
We will praise and lift you high
El - Shaddai

Through your love and through the ram
You saved the son of Abraham
Through the power of your hand
You turned the sea into dry land
To the outcast on her knees
You were the God who really sees
And by your might you set your children free

Repeat Chorus

Through the years you made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be
Though your Word contained the plan
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of your Son

Repeat Chorus

We will praise and lift you high
El - Shaddai

Scriptural Reference:

"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land."  Exodus 14:21

Atom Bomb

Words and music:
This song also appeared on Song We Like to Sing by The Sounds of Glory.
Lead:

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Well, everybody's worried about that atom bomb
Well, but no one seems worried about the day my Lord shall come
You'd better (you'd better) set your house in order ('cause He) He may be coming soon
And He'll hit like an atom bomb when He comes, when He comes

Repeat Chorus

Well, in nineteen hundred and forty-five, the atom bomb became alive
In nineteen hundred and forty-nine, the U.S.A. became very wise
Found that a country across the line had an atom bomb of the very same kind
People got worried all over the land, just like the people in Japan
God told Elijah He would send down fire, send down fire from the sky
He sent on over the rainbow side, "Won't be water, just fire next time"

Repeat Chorus

Well, don't be worried, just bear in mind
Trust in Jesus, He's on time
With peace, happiness, and joy divine
With my Savior on the line
God told Elijah He would send down fire, send down fire from the sky
He sent on over the rainbow side, "Won't be a-water, just fire next time"

Repeat Chorus

Well, everybody's worried about that atom bomb
Well, but no one seems worried about the day my Lord shall come
You'd better (you'd better) set your house in order ('cause He) He may be coming soon
And He'll (hit) hey, hey, hear my Lord you know
Yes He'll hit like an atom bomb when He comes, when He comes

Scriptural Reference:

"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."  2 Peter 3:10

Lyrics:

Chorus:
We were made in His image
Being formed by a perfect hand
At the dawn of creation
In His likeness He made man
When I'm down and weary is the time that I forget
How He came to make me like the best

There are people around me (people around) who don't know who they are (who they are)
They were made in the image (made just like Him) of the highest power (highest power)
No one's told them good news that been made so clear (made so clear, that's been made so clear)
I must tell it now so every one can hear (you can hear)

Repeat Chorus

There are brothers around me (brothers around) who don't show who they are (who they are)
They were made in the image (made just like Him) of Jehovah God (He's our God)
They don't stop and think of what that really means (what that means, what that really means)
Being fashioned after Jesus the King of Kings (King of Kings)

We were made in His image
Made in His image
Made in the image of the best
Made in His image (just like Him)

Made in the image (better than all the rest) of the best

You Are the Christ

Words and music:
Lead: Keith Lancaster

Lyrics:

Chorus:
You are the Christ, the Son of the living God
Some say John the Baptist, Elijah, or Jeremiah
But you are the Christ, the Son of the living God
This was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven

When Jesus came to Caeserea of Philippi
He asked, "who do people say the Son of man is?"
Some say John the Baptist and others Elijah and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets
"But what about you?" He asked, "Who do you say I am?"

Peter said...
Repeat Chorus

Blessed are you Simon, son of Jonah
For this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven
I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church
Hades will not overcome it

And we know...
Repeat Chorus

I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven
Whatever you bind will be bound up in heaven
I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven
Whatever you loose will be loosed up in heaven

'Cause...
Repeat Chorus

Yes by my Father in heaven

Scriptural Reference:

"When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."  Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.  And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.  I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."  Matthew 16:13-19

We Shall Have Glory

Lyrics:

Soon our clouds will roll away after its gone, a brighter day

Chorus:
We shall have glory (we shall have glory)
When we reach heaven (when we reach heaven)
We shall have glory (we shall have glory)
After awhile (yes, after awhile)
Sorrow and death will come no more, all will be joy upon that shore
(We shall have glory) We shall have glory after awhile, yes after awhile

Labor a little longer here after the vision made so clear
(We shall have glory) We shall have glory after awhile, yes after awhile
Then with our burdens all laid down, we shall take up the golden crown
(We shall have glory) We shall have glory after awhile, yes after awhile

Brother Taylor

Words and music: Keith Lancaster © 1982 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
This song also appeared on The Vocal Union by The Vocal Union and Hear It In Our Voice: Volume III by The Acappella Company.
Lead: Keith Lancaster

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Brother Taylor keep on preachin'
'Cause you know just what we need
When we turn from what we know is right
And what is good indeed
Brother Taylor don't be easy
As your telling us His Word
Tell the greatest news that man has ever heard

At the old country church house (old country church), he was the preacher man
He preached the Word from the Bible, talkin' 'bout the promised land
And the old time religion (preachin' the word) and just how it will be
It seemed like he was preachin' to me
When he spoke about righteousness and having pure minds
And controlling our appetite all of the time
Didn't know if I could live it (knew it was right), though I knew it was right
Love the Lord with all of my might

Repeat Chorus

Then I came to the crossroads (came to a choice) and I was given a choice
I could see Brother Taylor; I could still hear his voice
"If you wanna follow Jesus (answer His call) and would answer His call
You know you've got to give Him your all"
So I made a decision (do what is right) that I would do what is right
I would give to the Master all of my life
Yes for old Brother Taylor's (still on my mind) an inspiration to me
Guides me to eternity

Repeat Chorus

Even though he's gone (he's gone), I have the strength to carry on (carry on)
The word he left with me is I'm forgiven
I hear him preaching now (hear now) as he is sharing with us how (share with how)
That we can live together up in Heaven

Repeat Chorus

Ever heard (still preach the Word)

Scriptural Reference:

"Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction."  2 Timothy 4:2

Stop

Words and music:
Lead:

Lyrics:

Won't you...

Stop (stop) the way (the way) you're goin' (you're goin') down
Stop (stop) the way (the way) you're goin' (you're goin') down
(repeat once for each of first two lines of verse)

Once you were faithful and were happy living in the Lord
But you turned from His presence and the message of His Holy word
And you remember how contented was your station living in His grace (so happy in His grace)
So won't you listen to the Savior as He tries to save you from that place?

Chorus 1:
You better stop (stop) (better stop)
The way you're living, how can you go on?
You gotta stop (stop) (gotta stop)
The way you're living, holding to the wrong
You're gettin' further and further and further away
Got to get back to His power today
You're gettin' further and further and further away
Got to get back to His power

Won't you...
Stop (stop) the way (the way) you're goin' (you're goin') down
Stop (stop) the way (the way) you're goin' (you're goin') down
(repeat once for each of first two lines of verse)

When you were covered by the blood you were a mighty man
Then you feel to enticements that are evil, I don't understand
You still can turn around and make it right by throwing off the mire of sin (throw of the way of sin)
Though if you hesitate, procrastinate, then Satan's hate will do you in

Chorus 2:
You better stop (stop) (better stop)
The way you're living, how can you go on?
You gotta stop (stop) (gotta stop)
The way you're living, holding to the wrong
You're gettin' further and further and further away
Got to get back to His power today
You're gettin' further and further and further away
Got to get back (got to get back), got to get back (got to get back), got to get back to His power

(Got to get back) Got to get back (got to get back), got to get back (got to get back), got to get back to His power

Bridge:
Why does your heart seem to be very cold, insensitive to the light (very cold, turn to the light)?
Only if you would come back to the fold, the Shephard will make it all right (in the fold to be all right)

Repeat Chorus 2

(Got to get back) Got to get back (got to get back), got to get back (got to get back)
You better stop (stop)

Scriptural Reference:

"You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?"  Acts 13:10
