Lyrics:
Open our eyes, Lord
We want to see Jesus
To reach out and touch
Him
And say that we love Him
Open our ears, Lord
And help us to
listen
Open our eyes, Lord
We want to see Jesus
He paid a debt He did not owe
I owed a debt I could not pay
I
needed someone to wash my sins away
And now I sing a brand new
song:
“Amazing grace” (amazing grace)
Christ Jesus paid the debt
that I could never pay
Open my eyes, Lord
I want to see Jesus
To reach out and touch
Him
And say that I love Him
Open my ears, Lord
And help me to
listen
Open our eyes, Lord
We want to see Jesus
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay

Chorus:
Be steadfast, immovable (steadfast)
Always abounding
(immovable)
In the work of the Lord
For your labor is not in
vain
(Repeat)
Do you ever look around you as you try to serve the Lord
And wonder
“Is it worth it, is there really a reward”
In trying to be faithful,
living for eternity?
What Paul wrote to the Corinthians he really wrote
to me:
Repeat Chorus
Steadfast (steadfast)
Immovable
Steadfast
(steadfast)
Immovable
Steadfast (steadfast)
Immovable
For your
labor is not in vain
Do you ever get discouraged and feel you are all alone
As you try to
be a Christian and prepare for Heaven’s home?
Do you think it would be
easier to follow after sin?
But you’d disappoint your Lord who gave His
life your soul to win
Repeat Chorus
Steadfast (steadfast)
Immovable
Steadfast
(steadfast)
Immovable
Steadfast (steadfast)
Immovable
For your
labor is not in vain
No, your labor is not in vain (labor is not in
vain)

Editor's Note: This song was written by Lanier Stevens as an invitation song after he had preached several sermons on Charles Stanley's book, How to Listen to God.
Lyrics:
Careless soul, why do you linger in the harvest field of sin
While
your Savior gently pleads with you, “Come in”
You have spent His
invitation as on your way you’ve trod
Won’t you listen, won’t you
listen to God?
Chorus:
As you hear the voices blending there, inviting you to
come
The angels up in Heaven all care (all care)
Won’t you come
receive a blessing lest you feel His chast’ning rod?
Won’t you listen,
won’t you listen to God?
Have you listened to the Gospel as it's shared with you
today
Knowing Jesus is inviting you to come
Won't you leave His
invitation as He calls to you in love
Won’t you listen, won’t you
listen to God
Repeat Chorus
There is power in the Spirit, there is power in the blood
There is
power in the precious word of God
If your spirit is convicted and you
know you need to come
Won’t you listen, won’t you listen to God
Repeat Chorus
Won’t you listen, won’t you listen to God
Scriptural Reference:
"Joshua said to the Israelites, 'Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God.'" Joshua 3:9

We need the joy of Thy salvation
It is a strong and
mighty shield (mighty shield)
Give us the joy of Thy salvation
So
Thy power may be revealed
(Repeat)
Oh my Lord, (my Lord)
There’s a heavy weight inside my soul
And
You alone (you alone)
Can cleanse my heart and make me whole
His
bones You crushed
We will rejoice and be made glad
And I’ll be
cleansed
Restore the joy my soul once had
Repeat Chorus 1
Create in me
A pure heart and a spirit right
Don’t take from me

Your Holy Spirit - give me light
Then I will
teach
Sinners to turn back to You
Blot out my fears
Create in me
a spirit new

You are the joy of my salvation
You are a strong and
mighty shield (mighty shield)
Give us the joy of Thy salvation

soul)

Joy in my soul

Lyrics:
Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps we'll never
meet anymore
'Til we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that
beautiful shore
Chorus 1:
If we never meet again this side of heaven (never meet
this side of heaven)
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
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we
struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting
place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the 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
I will meet you on that beautiful shore

of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the
Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the

fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the
nations." Revelation 22:1-2

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O, what a foretaste of glory
divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed
in His blood
Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior, all
the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior
all the day long
Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on
my sight
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy,
whispers of love
Repeat Chorus
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and
blest
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness,
lost in His love

Lyrics:
Shackled by a heavy burden
’Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then
the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same
Chorus:
He touched me, oh He touched me
And oh, the joy that
floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and
made me whole
Since I met this blessed Savior
Since He cleansed and made me
whole
I will never cease to praise Him
I will shout it while
eternity rolls
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, 'If you are willing, you can make me clean.' Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. 'I am willing,' he said. 'Be clean!' Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured." Mark 1:40-42

Lyrics:
Well I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little
light from heaven filled my soul, my soul
(Don't you know that) It
bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above
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
(You
know He will) Answer by and by
(Now when you) Feel a little
prayerful yearning
(As your) Your heart unto heaven is turning
(You
will) Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right
Well I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears
But
Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
(Oh you know that) I go to
Him in prayer, He knows my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus
makes it right
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Yes you will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Lyrics:
If I could take you back in time
To what was on the Father’s
mind
When He sent His only Son
Away from home (away from home)
He
looked down on sinful man
And knew He had to have a plan
So He sent
Him down to Earth
To bring them home
Chorus 1:
Bring them home
Bring them home
I’ve reserved for
them a place around my throne
And someday they won’t have to
wait
Until they step through my gate
But until then, Son (until
then)
Bring them home
And while He walked here on this earth
He talked about a second
birth
He talked about His Father’s house
And goin’ home (goin'
home)
He told them, “Don’t you be afraid
A mansion there for you is
made
And my Father’s waiting there
Sayin', 'Come on home'”
Chorus 2:
Come on home
Come on home
You know you’re gonna see
the face upon the throne
And someday you won’t have to wait
Until
you step through my Father’s gate
But until then, child (until
then)
Come on home
And when my race on earth is run
And the victory is won
When the
trials of life are done
I’m goin’ home (goin' home)
So don’t you
mourn for me down here
’Cause I’ll be so happy there
And when my
Father calls for me
I’m goin’ home
Chorus 3:
Goin’ home
Goin’ home
You know I’m gonna take my
place around the throne
And someday I won’t have to wait
Until I
step through my Father’s gate
But until then I’m (until then)
I’m
goin’ home
Chorus 4:
Goin’ home
Goin’ home
You know I’m gonna see the
face upon the throne
And someday I won’t have to wait
Until I step
through that gate
But until then I’m (until then)
I’m goin’ home
But until then I’m (until then)
I’m goin’ home

Lyrics:
Be strong in the Lord
Be strong in the Lord
Be strong in the
Lord
Chorus:
Be strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
Put
on the whole armor of God
So you can take your stand
Against
the devil’s fight
Put on the whole armor of God
Stand firm (stand firm)
With the belt of truth
And the
breastplate of righteousness
Feet shod (feet shod)
With the Gospel
of Peace
Put on the whole armor of God
Repeat Chorus
Stand firm (stand firm)
With the shield of faith
And the helmet
of salvation
Take the sword (take the sword)
Which is God’s
word
Put on the whole armor of God
Repeat Chorus
Be strong in the Lord
Be strong in the Lord
Be strong in the
Lord
Repeat Chorus
Put on the whole armor of God
Put on the whole armor of God
Scriptural Reference:
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:10 -17

Lyrics:
Have you ever looked up at the moon
And wondered why it
glows
Have you thought about who put it there
And the wisdom that he
shows
I’ll ask my dad about it
What made it work that way
And
here is what he told me
I can hear my daddy say
Chorus 1:
It’s just a light (light) shining in the sun
A
reflection of the wondrous light above
It serves to burn the dark of
night away (burn the night away)
Sharing warmth until we reach the
light of day
And have you ever looked up through the trees
After sleeping through
the night
And seen a spider’s web all glistening
In the morning
light
With dewdrops sparkling on it
Like jewels from above
A
silent testimony
Of the beauty of His love
Repeat Chorus 1
And have you ever noticed people
Who’re as different as can
be
Their lives reflect a glory
For all the world to see
They’ve
come to know the Savior
They’ve come to know God’s Son
And their
lives reflect the beauty
Of the work that He has done
Chorus 2:
And they’re just lights (lights) shining in the Son
A
reflection of the wondrous Light above
They serve to burn the dark of
night away (burn the night away)
Sharing warmth until we reach the
light of day
Repeat Chorus 2
Sharing warmth until we reach the light day (day, day, day)
