Lyrics:
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
I
believe that somewhere in the darkness night a candle glows (a candle
glows)
I believe for every one who goes astray someone will come to
show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe, above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
I
believe, that someone in the great somewhere, hears every
word
Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry, or touch a leaf, or see the
sky
Then I know why, I believe!
Repeat Verse 2
Scriptural Reference:
"Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son." 1 John 5:10

Is the Blood Still Fresh for You?
Words and music: Dale Underwood
Lead: Lanier Stevens (verses 1 and
2) and Dale Underwood (chorus and verse 3)
Lyrics:
There's a power to heal and make new
There was a man who lived long,
long ago
Who knew His Father's will
To an Old Rugged Cross He knew
He'd go
His purpose to fulfill
Chorus:
Is the blood still fresh for you?
Is the blood still
fresh for you?
Every drop that was shed came from a heart that
bled
With a power to heal and make new
In the garden He prayed "Not my will but thine"
Then "forgive they
know not what they do"
While upon that ol' cross our dear Savior
died
Shed His blood there for me and for you
Repeat Chorus
Oh you who may have known the Lord for awhile
In His fields you
worked so well
But the race isn't run 'til the last soul is won
And
in this we must not fail
Repeat Chorus
Every drop that was shed came from a heart that bled
With a power to
heal and make new

Sometime when misgivings darken the day
And faith's light I cannot
see
I ask my dear Lord to brighten the way
He whispers sweet peace
to me (to me)
Chorus:
He whispers sweet peace to me (yes He whispers to me)
He
whispers sweet peace to me (He whispers sweet peace to me)
When I am
cast down in spirit and soul
He whispers sweet peace to me (to me)
He speaks through His word, assurance He gives
I'm His and I know
He's mine
And safe in the fold my soul He will keep
I'll rest in His
love divine (divine)
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight
Flooding my soul
with glory divine
Hallelujah, I am rejoicing
Singing His praises,

In the bright sunlight, ever rejoicing
Pressing my way to mansions

Singing His praises gladly I’m walking
Walking in sunlight,
sunlight of love

Lyrics:
"A penny for your thoughts" I said to the old man
As he sat there on
the park bench all alone
With silver hair and wrinkled brown eyes
gleaming
He smiled and said "Just thinkin' 'bout my home"
I sat down and we shared some laughs together
And the cinema of
remembrance, it did roll
We talked about life's gains and yes its
losses
But mostly he just talked about His home
Chorus 1:
"Oh, I'm thinkin' 'bout home
Thinkin' 'bout goin'
home
Dreamin' 'bout leavin' here
I'm ready to be movin' on
It
won't be long before the sun will set and I'll be gone
But until then,
I'll be thinking 'bout home"
I said "Tell me old man where's your home and what's it like"
"Oh
ain't nothing 'round here that compares
You see a King had it
built and gave the deed to me
And all my family's already
there"
He said...
Chorus 2:
"I'm thinkin' 'bout home
Thinkin' 'bout goin'
home
Dreamin' 'bout leavin' here"
He's ready to be movin'
on
"It won't be long before the sun will set and I'll be gone
But
until then, I'll be thinking 'bout home"
"It won't be long before the sun will set and I'll be gone
But until
then, I'll be thinking 'bout home"
"I'll be thinking 'bout my home

Oh what a glad
day (Oh what a glad day)
When heaven we all shall see
When there
through God's grace (when there through God's grace)
We look on His
face (we look on His face)
Oh what a glad day t'will be (t'will be)
There Christ the Lord will be adored
Oh what a glad day t'will be
(t'will be)
When we get home no more to roam
Oh what a glad day
t'will be (t'will be)

Lyrics:
I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't
borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to gray
I don't
worry o'er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk
beside Him
For He knows what is ahead
Chorus:
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to
understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my
hand
I don't know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty
But the one
who feeds the sparrow
Is the one who stands by me
And the path that
be my portion
May be through the flame or flood
But His presence
goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood
Repeat Chorus

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus
Sing His mercy and His grace
In
the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place
Chorus:
When we all (when we all) get to heaven
What a day of
rejoicing that will be (what a day of rejoicing that will be)
When we
all (when we all) see Jesus
We’ll sing and shout the victory (and shout

While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds will overspread the
sky
But when traveling days are over
Not a shadow, not a sigh

Let us then be true and faithful
Trusting, serving every day
Just
one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay
Repeat Chorus
