Lyrics:
I want to tell you a story
About a man who was lost in sin
Until
he came to know his Savior
Until he came to know his friend
Now his
life has a brand new meaning
Now his life has a different
trend
Let me tell you about Jesus my Savior
Let me tell you about
Jesus my friend
Chorus:
Do you want a friend that is like a brother?
Do you want
a friend until the end?
Let me tell you about Jesus my Savior
Let me
tell you about Jesus my friend
I'll meet Him at the judgement
My
case He will defend
Let me tell you about Jesus my Savior
Let me
tell you about Jesus my friend
Do you want to give up sinning
And walk on a different road?
Does
your heart have a heavy burden?
Does your soul have a heavy load?
If
you'll give your heart to Jesus
And in Him your soul will lend
He'll
lead you on to glory
You never had such a friend
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Chorus:
Oh Jesus, He gave her water
Lord, my Jesus gave her
water
Oh my Jesus, He gave her water
But it was not from
the well
Repeat Chorus
Well, there was a woman from Samaria
She came to the well to get
some water
It was there she met a stranger
Who did her story
tell
She left my savior singing
And she came to him
a-bringing
The day she got some water
But it was not
from the well
Repeat Chorus
On that woman He had pity
And she ran back to the city
Crying
glory hallelujah
I'm gonna let His praises swell
Well now, every
time she'd doubt it
She'd stop to think about it
About the
man who gave her water
But it was not from the well
Repeat Chorus
Oh, gave her water
My Jesus gave her water
Oh Jesus He gave her
water
I'm gonna let His praises swell
Jesus gave that woman
water
He gave her that living and lasting water
Oh, but it was
not from the well
Scriptural Reference:
"Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14

Lyrics:
Amazing (amazing grace) Grace (amazing grace)
How sweet (how sweet
the sound) the sound (how sweet the sound)
That saved (that saved a
wretch) a wretch (that saved a wretch) like me!
I once (I once was
lost) was lost (I once was lost)
But now (but now I'm found) I am
found.(but now I'm found)
Was blind, but now I see!
When we've (when we've been there) been there (when we've been
there)
Ten thou- (ten thousand years) -sand years (ten thousand
years)
Bright shi- (bright shining as) -ning as (bright shining as) the
sun
We've no (we've no less days) less days (we've no less days)
To
sing (to sing God's praise) God's praise (to sing God's praise)
Than
when we first begun!
Now I'm under His control
And I'm happy in my soul
Just to know
(just to know) that His grace reaches me
Deeper than the ocean and whiter than the sea
Is the grace of the
Savior for sinners like me
Sent from the Father and it thrills my
soul
Just to feel and to know that His blood makes me whole
Chorus:
His grace (yes His grace) reaches me (reaches me)
Yes His
grace (yes His grace) reaches me (reaches me)
And will last through
eternity
Now I'm under His control
And I'm happy in my soul
Just
to know (just to know) that His grace reaches me
Higher and the mountains and brighter than the sun
It was offered at
Calvary for everyone
Greatest of treasures and it's mine
today
Though my sins were as scarlett, He has washed them away

Lyrics:
Moses stood on holy ground
Far from God descended down
Set the
roadside bush on fire (bush on fire)
Then the Lord did there
explain
Through His servant should remain
All the echoes from
the bush on fire (the bush on fire)
Chorus:
Oh the echoes from the bush (I hear those lovely echoes from
the burning bush)
How they thrill my soul (how they thrill my
soul)
Oh the echoes from the bush (I hear those thrilling echoes
from the burning bush)
Point me to the goal (point me to the goal)
I
no more am doubting, but with joy I'm shouting
With no thought of shame
to blush (no shame to blush)
This my song shall ever be, words that are
so sweet to me
Echoes from the burning bush (the burning bush)
God sent down His only Son
Just to ransom everyone
By the echoes
from the fire (from the fire)
God of every earthly land
Would not
pick nor choose a man
For His blood will save us from the fire
(eternal fire)
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, 'I will go over and see this strange sight-why the bush does not burn up.' When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, 'Moses! Moses!' And Moses said, 'Here I am.'" Exodus 3:2-4

Lyrics:
Oh how happy I will be when life's journey here is run
And I look
upon His face and I hear Him say, "Well done
You have fought a faithful
fight and my child you've kept the faith
Enter now my joys are yours,
so just step inside the gate"
Chorus:
Inside the gate (just inside the gate), inside the gate
(just inside the gate)
I'm home (just inside the gate), sweet
home (just inside the gate)
No more to cry (just inside
the gate), no more to die (just inside the gate)
A crown of
life (just inside the gate), you have won (just inside the
gate)
You're safe at last (just inside the gate), your sorrows
past (just inside the gate)
A mansion here (just inside the
gate) forevermore (just inside the gate)
Yes I'll admit (just
inside the gate), I'm heaven sent (just inside the gate)
When
I step (when I step inside) inside the gate (the pearly
gate)
I will look for mother dear and I'll look for daddy, too
Sisters,
brothers will be there, heaven's joys with them I'll share
Then I'll
hear lil' David play, 'neath my Jesus on that day
Heaven's joys for me
await when I step inside the gate
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Dying on a tree, all for you and me
How He came to make me
whole

Chorus:
When I'm down (when I'm down)
When I'm down and out (when
I'm down and out)
When my heart (when my heart)
Is filled with fear
and doubt
Then I lift up my head and He lifts up my heart
And my
troubles just all roll away
Roll away, Lord (roll away)
Troubles
rolled away, Lord(roll away, Lord)
Roll away, Lord (roll
away)
Troubles rolled away, Lord(roll away, Lord)
When I lift up my
head and He lifts up my heart
And my troubles just all roll away
Well I can't see the sun with my head to the ground
Tears
dim my vision and weigh my heart down
But I get this feeling
when I kneel to pray
When I lift up my head and He lifts up my
heart
And my troubles just all roll away
Repeat Chorus
Roll away
Roll away

Lyrics:
Oh sometimes the shadows are deep
And rough seems the path to the
goal
And sorrows sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests and over the
soul
Oh then to the rock let me fly (let me fly)
To the rock that is
higher than I (higher than I)
Oh then to the rock let me fly (let me
fly)
To the rock that is higher than I
Chorus 1:
Why don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than
I?
Oh lead me to the rock, yes lead me to the rock
Why don't
you lead me to the rock that is higher than I?
Thou hast been a shelter
for me
Well if you go down in yonder fold to search among the sheep
(My
brother) Thou hast been a shelter for me
You will find Him there so I
am told with those He loves to keep
(My brother) Thou hast been a
shelter for me
Chorus 2:
Why don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than I?
(Savior lead me to the rock that is higher than I) (Lead me Lord)
Why
don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than I? (Savior lead me to
the rock that is higher than I) (Lead me to the rock)
Why don't you
lead me to the rock that is higher than I? (Savior lead me to the rock
that is higher than I) (Higher than I)
Thou hast been a shelter for
me
Repeat Chorus 1
If you'll go into the wilderness where dying ones are lost

shelter for me
Repeat Chorus 2
