Lyrics:
Chorus:
Well, there must be a city
There must be a place
There
must be somewhere
I can see Him face to face
There must be a
mansion
High up in the sky
There must be a city somewhere (oh
yeah)
Repeat Chorus
Well one of these mornings
It won't be long
You're going to look
for me
And I'll be gone
I'm going up to heaven to sing and
shout
There'll be nobody there to turn me out
I'm gonna look up
David in the heat of the day
Tune up my harp and begin to play
There
must be a city somewhere (oh yeah)
Repeat Chorus
Well when I get to heaven I'll sing an shout
There'll be nobody
there to turn me out
I'm gonna look up David in the heat of the
day
Tune up my harp and begin to play
I'm gonna look up David in the
heat of the day
Tune up my harp and begin to play
There must be a
city somewhere (oh yeah)
Repeat Chorus

Words and music: J.D. Sumner

Lyrics:
I don't mind my sorrow, I don't mind my tears
I don't mind my
heartaches, cause my Lord is near
When I think of Calvary my troubles
are behind
Cause He died to save me, I don't mind
Chorus:
Oh, I don't mind (I don't mind), sometimes I stumble
along
I don't mind (I don't mind), He gives my heart a song
I don't
mind (I don't mind), I know when things go wrong
All His blessings
are mine, so, I don't mind (so I don't mind)
When I am discouraged, when I'm feeling blue
I just call on Jesus,
He knows what to do
When I have a battle, He's always there on
time
And at Jordan's river, I won't mind
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." Phillipians 4:12

Lyrics:
Someday when my last line is written
Someday when I've drawn my last
breath
When my last words on earth have been spoken
And my lips are
sealed in death
Don't look on my cold form in pity
Don't think of me as one
dead
It'll just be the house I once lived in
My spirit by then will
have fled
I'll have finished my time here allotted
But I won't be in darkness
alone
I will have heard from heaven
The summons to come on home
(come on home)
And when my body is in the grave
Don't think that I'll be there
I
won't be dead but living
In the place Jesus went to prepare
And after all is said and done
Know that my last earnest
prayer
Is that my loved ones are ready
Someday, to meet me there
Scriptural Reference:
"We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8
Words and music: Unknown

Lyrics:
One day a child came home from football
Where he had fumbled, been
jeered and booed
His mother knew that his heart was breakin'
And so
she made him his favorite food
Chorus 1:
She did not make (a bowl) a bowl of salad greens
She
made no whole wheat rolls or a pile of beans
She made him sandwiches on
toasted white bread
With peanut butter, creamy style
The years went by and he was a loser
He led a useless and wretched
life
His mother never criticized him
She only smiled as she got out
the knife
Repeat Chorus 1
So he decided on the basis
Of a book that he had read that
fall
That all his problems had resulted
From excessive
cholesterol
Chorus 2:
And so she made (a bowl) a bowl of salad
greens
She made some whole wheat rolls and a pile of beans
She
made no sandwiches on toasted white bread
With peanut butter,
creamy style
That night his dog died, He wrecked his pick-up
His sweet heart left
him, He lost his hair
His house caught fire, He went to prison
His
dear old mother came to him there
Repeat Chorus
She made him sandwiches on toasted white bread (you know choosy mothers
do choose Jiff)
With peanut butter, creamy style
Scriptural Reference:
"Jesus answered, 'It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.''" Matthew 4:4

Lead: Danice Sweet
Lyrics:
If there were no You
If there were no You
Chorus:
If there were no You
My songs would be in vain
If
there were no You
My skies would all be gray
No hope of life could
be found
And there would be no sight, no sound
There would be no
love if there were no You
They question whether Jesus was God's Son
They even asked Him long
ago with all that He had done
"Who gave you authority?"
"My Father
who has sent me"
He gave His life and proved He was the one
Repeat Chorus
Now I've read where that stone was rolled away
The tomb was sealed
and secured then on the third day
He is risen as He said
He's alive,
no longer dead
Since He lives we rejoice and say
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
For without You life would have no meaning
And without
you I'd have never known
Amazing Grace was for a wretch like me
If
there were no You, how could Heaven be my home
Repeat Chorus
I know that there would be no love if there were no You
Scriptural Reference:
"Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary
Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from
the entrance." John 20:1
"Here is a trustworthy saying that
deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners--of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was
shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might
display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe
on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal,
invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.
Amen." 1 Timothy 1:15-17
Words and music: Albert E. Brumley
Lead: Donja Cary
Lyrics:
Dear Lord of Calvary, again I come to Thee
And seek Thy precious
hand to guide
The way I'll never find without Thy love divine
And in
Thy shelter I would hide
So Lord, I daily pray to lead me all the
way
And let Thy presence linger ever near
I'm in a foreign land,
nobody understands
O Lord, I'm just a stranger here (just a stranger
here)
Chorus:
(I'm just) Just a stranger here, (a stranger) just a
stranger here
(Here) Here I daily roam, (I roam) here I daily
roam
(No one) One to guide me on, (here to guide me) guide me precious
Lord
(Lord I have) Lord I have no home, (no home) Lord I have no
home
(So now Lord) Lord look down on me, (look down) ever down on
me
(Hear me) Hear me when I pray, (when I pray) hear me when I
pray
(I need) Need Thy guiding light, (Thy light) need Thy guiding
light
For I am just a stranger here
Repeat Chorus
Lord I'm just a stranger, I am just a stranger here (just a stranger here)

Lyrics:
Hundreds of miles, thousands of miracles
The journey to the cross
began before Calvary
Angels were silent as the Son of man
Defeated
death so we could all be free
Chorus 1:
(And He said...)
Show me the cross
I'll find my way
home from there
Show me the cross
It's not too heavy to bear
Show
me the cross
All is not lost
I can find my way (I can find my
way)
Show me the cross
It was no surprise, no hesitation
His death had a purpose, it was
meant to be
His parable of grace started in a manger
Led to a cross
for eternity
Chorus 2:
(And we sing...)
Show me the cross
I'll find my way
home from there
Show me the cross
It's not too heavy to bear
Show
me the cross (show me the cross)
All is not lost
I can find my way
(I can find my way)
I can find my way (I can find my way)
I can find
my way
Show me the cross
Scriptural Reference:
"Having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross." Colossians 2:14
In Heaven There Won't Be No Blues
Words and music: Chet Sweet and Danice Sweet
Lead: Chet Sweet
Lyrics:
There's some people here below (here below)
You know all they do is
moan (they moan)
They're practicing for something I don't know (I don't
know)
I'm just going to praise His name (praise His name)
'Til I get
it right someday (right someday)
Then I'll be ready when He takes me
home (takes me home)
Chorus:
In Heaven there won't be no blues (won't be no
blues)
We'll be singing and shouting the Good News (shoutin' the
News)
The glory trains a-comin'
And I've got my travelin'
shoes
Cause in Heaven there won't be no blues (won't be no blues)
Jesus is your Savior
Despite your behavior
You know He died for
everything you've done (all you've done)
And the fact that you're
forgiven (forgiven)
Gives you a cause for livin' (you're
livin')
That's the reason God gave up His Son (gave His Son)
Repeat Chorus
Well your cash and all your moolah (moolahlah)
Can take you to
Honolula (moolahlah)
But your money you know it can not buy you time
(buy you time)
Because the Lord just might come (Lord might come)
In
the midst of your fun (in your fun)
Your bank account can't give you
peace of mind (peace of mind)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
You know in Heaven there won't be no blues (won't be no blues)
I
said in Heaven there won't be no blues (won't be no blues)
