Lyrics:
The things that I love and hold dear to my heart
Are just borrowed
they're not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them to brighten my
life
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Chorus:
Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
Show me
where you brought me from and where I could have been
Remember I'm
human and humans forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Spoken Vocal:
Oh Lord, we want to thank you for our sweet wives,
Lucille, Marilyn, Betty, and Sandy and the wonderful way that they bless
our lives. And those precious children you've given us, how we love
them. Yet, we know Father that this love doesn't even begin to
compare with the love you showed us in giving Christ. And Lord, we
know that we don't deserve this, that we're not worthy of it. So
Lord, please keep reminding us of who we are and how much we are really
loved.
Nothing good have I done to deserve God's own son
I'm not worthy of
the scars in His hands
Yet He chose the road to Calvary to die in
my stead
Why He loved me I can't understand
Repeat Chorus
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Scriptural Reference:
"All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:25-26

Special Time by Keith Lancaster.
Lead: None
Lyrics:
Chorus:
I know there's water (yes, there's water)
In the plan
(water in the plan)
Oh yes, there's water (yes, there's water)
In
the plan (water in the plan)
If you listen to the Bible (in the
Bible)
And not to man (and not to man)
You'll clearly understand (in
order to be forgiven)
If you want to be forgiven (be
forgiven)
No, not a work (no, not a work)
It's not an option (not an
option)
That you can shirk (that you can shirk)
Oh well there's
water (yes, there's water)
I know there's water (yes, there's
water)
Oh , there's water in the plan
On the birthday of the kingdom as we read it in the Bible in Acts
2:38
Peter told the people that they had to be forgiven before it was
too late
Because the birth of the Messiah they had ushered to be
hastened and there they crucified
The one and only Savior they stood
and watched Him die (on the cross of Calvary)
Some tender hearts were
open and then they started to believe in just what Peter said
Jesus had
been right so they had to make a point to see the Son of God was
dead
But the grave it wouldn't hold Him, 'cause the rock had been a
rollin' and He came forth from grave
The Prince of Peace that God had
sent to save
Repeat Chorus
Nicodemus came to Jesus and was told it was essential that he had to be
born again
Of the water and the spirit, yes He made it very clear that
there was water in the plan
And the last and final mission, just before
His great ascension He mentioned it once more
Tellin' them to teach it
and do it in all the world (how to make disciples)
Even Paul the
great apostle had to write of its importance 'cause his sins had been
washed away
Though he was a persecutin' and Ananias came unto him
and he was born again that day
So if you want to put on Jesus and
be in His saving body well there is no other route
The word of God has
spelled it clearly out
Bridge:
Though men may teach against it and provide another
plan
Many roads are offerred by the world
But God needs no
improvement by a weak and feeble man
The Lord's way is the best I've
ever heard
Repeat Chorus
I know there's water in the plan
Scriptural Reference:
"Peter replied, 'Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name
of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit.'" Acts 2:38
"'Can anyone keep these
people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit
just as we have.' So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ. Then they asked Peter to stay with them for a few days."
Acts 10:47-48

Lyrics:
There is coming a day
When no heartache shall come
No more clouds
in the sky
No more tears to dim the eye
All is peace forever
more
On that happy golden shore
What a day, glorious day
That
will be
Chorus:
What a day, that will be
When my Jesus, I shall
see
And I look upon His face
The one who saved me by His
grace
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promise
Land
What a day, glorious day
That will be
There'll be no sorrow there
No more burdens to bear
No more
sickness nor pain
No more parting over there
And forever I will
be
With the One, who died for me
What a day, glorious day
That
will be
Repeat Chorus
(That will be)
Scriptural Reference:
"In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and
the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in

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 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
over in Japan
God told Elijah He would send down fire, send down fire
from the sky
He showed on over the rainbow side, "It won't be water,
but 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 showed on over the rainbow side, "Won't be water, but 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 set your
house in order ('cause He) He may be coming soon
And He'll (hit) hey,
hey, hear my Lord you know
Well, He's gonna hit like an atom bomb
when He comes, when He comes

Lyrics:
Here among the shadows
(Living) in a lonely land (with
strangers)
We're a band of pilgrims on the move
(Through dangers)
burdened down with sorrows
(And we are) Shunned on every hand
(But
we are) looking for a city built above
Chorus:
(Oh yes, we're looking here and there) Looking for a city
(looking for a city)
(Yonder where we'll never die) Where we'll never
die (never die, no never)
(And up there there with all the saints)
There the sainted millions (yes with all the millions)
(We will
never say goodbye) Never say goodbye (say goodbye, no never)
(Yes and
when we gather there) Where we'll meet our Savior (we'll meet Christ
our Savior)
(Glory and we know we'll meet) And our loved ones, too
(friends and all our loved ones)
(Now we pray thee quickly come) Come
oh Holy Spirit (Sprit, come oh Spirit)
(Come oh, come on thee we
call) All our hopes renew (all our hopes renew)
In this land of dangers
(We are) going here and there
(We're
simply) trusting in the blessed Savior's love (with mercy)
Though we
may be stangers
(Living) in this world of care
(We're
always) looking for a city built above
Repeat Chorus (x2)

I'll live with Him forever in glory by and
by
Chorus:
O yes, I'll live in glory (live in glory) by and by
I'll
tell and sing love's story (tell love's story) there on high
There with
my dear Redeemer (there no more) no more to die
Oh yes, I'll live in
glory (glory) by and by

To yonder home

I'll cling to Him forever and look
beyond the sky
And live with Him forever in glory by and by

Lyrics:
Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as
black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried, "O Lord
Don't
hide Your face from me"
Chorus:
Hold my hand all the way every hour every day
From here
to the great unknown
Take my hand; let me stand
Where no one stands
alone
Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call
my own
But I don't know a thing in this whole wide world
That's
worse than being alone
Repeat Chorus

It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name

And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole
Chorus:
(Now let us) Have a little talk with Jesus
(Let us) Tell
Him all about our troubles
(He will) Hear our faintest cry

yearning
(As your) Heart unto heaven is turning
(You will) Find a
little talk with Jesus makes it right (it makes it right)
I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus
is a friend who watches day and night
I go to Him in prayer, He knows
my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right
