I'm Standing on the Solid Rock

Words and music: Harold Lane © 1977 Ben L. Speer Music

Lead:

Lyrics:

Intro:
Through my disappointments
Strife and discontentment
I cast my every care upon the Lord
No matter what obsession
Pain or deep depression
I'm standing on the solid rock

Chorus:
I'm standing on the solid rock of ages (standing on the rock, on the rock of ages)
Safe from all the storm that rages (safe from every storm, all the storm that rages)
Rich but not from Satan's wages (rich in love, I'm rich, not from Satan's wages)
I'm standing on the solid rock

Now I'm pressing onward
Each step leads me homeward
I'm trusting in my Savior day by day
And close is our relation
Firm is its foundation
So on this solid rock I'll stay

Repeat Chorus

Even though He's gone now
I don't feel alone now
With comfort came the Spirit of the Lord
Now with His word to guide me
From temptations hide me
I'm standing on the solid rock

Repeat Chorus (x3)

I'm standing on the solid rock
I'm standing on the solid rock (the solid rock)

Scriptural Reference:

"He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."  Psalm 40:2

I Don't Know Why Jesus Loved Me

Words and music:
Lead:

Lyrics:

I don't know why Jesus loved me
I don't know why He cared
I don't know why He sacrificed His life
Oh, but I'm glad, so glad He did

Where would I be if Jesus didn't love me?
Where would I be if Jesus didn't care?
Where would I be if He hadn't sacrificed His life
Oh, but I'm glad, so glad He did

I don't know why Jesus loved me (Oh I don't know why)
I don't know why He cared (Oh I don't know why)
I don't know why He sacrificed His life
Oh, but I'm glad (so glad), so glad He did
Oh, but I'm glad (so glad), so glad He did

Scriptural Reference:

"My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ,  3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."  Colossians 2:2-3

Give Him Your Cloudy Day

Words and music: Dale Underwood
Lead:

Lyrics:

People in darkness have seen a great light (lift up your hands)
Behold the Savior's glourious might (rise out from the dead)
We are more than conquerors, a chosen people, His to command
Clothed in righteousnes, cleansed from sin by His wondrous hand

Chorus 1:
Life up your voice and sing, to Jesus Christ your King
Let the earth and sky show forth His praise
Who sets the captives free, who knows your soul's deep need
Sing to Him, He is the Lord

People in cages of sorrow and pain (He can set free)
This peace He offers who can explain (His gift to me)
My yoke is easy, my burden light, come and find rest (come and find rest)
Let no heart be troubled, fear no evil, seek Jesus instead

Chorus 2:
Give Him your cloudy day, He'll take your blues away
Don't you carry that weight anymore
No greater joy can be, but Jesus sets you free
Come to Him, He is the Lord

Though we grow weary (He will renew)
You can mount up with wings as an eagle
Nest near His altar (shelter from storm)
Oh my strength, my God, my King

Repeat Chorus 2 (x3)

Come to Him, He is the Lord
Come to Him, He is the Lord

Scriptural Reference:

"He guided them with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night."  Psalm 78:14

Adoration Medley

Words and Music to "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus":  Helen H. Lemmel (1922)
Lead:

Lyrics:

Lord you are more precious that silver
Lord you are more costly than gold
Lord you are beautiful than diamonds
And nothing I desire compares with you

Lord I want to love you more
Than I ever have before
You're so easy to adore
Lord I want to love you more

Oh Lord, you're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
And when your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me

So turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

His word shall fail you, He promised
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Scriptural Reference:

"Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always."  1 Chronicles 16:11 and Psalm 105:4
"The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold."  Psalm 119:72
"In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel."  Isaiah 17:7
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."  Hebrews 12:2

I Believe in a Hill Called Mt. Calvary

Words and music: William Gaither © 1968
Lead:

Lyrics:

There are things as we travel this earth shifting sands
That transcend all the reason of man
But the things that matter the most in this world
They can never be held in our hand

Chorus:
I believe in a hill called Mt. Calvary
I'll believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered and earth is no more
I'll still cling to that old rugged cross

I believe that the Christ who was slain on the cross
Has the power to change lives today
For He changed me completely, a new life is mine
That is why by the cross I will stay

Repeat Chorus

I believe that this life with its great mysteries
Surely someday will come to an end
But faith will conquer the darkness and death
And will lead me at last to my friend

Repeat Chorus (x2)

And when time has surrendered and earth is no more
I'll still cling to that old rugged cross

Scriptural Reference:

"I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."  John 5:24

I Have Other Plans For You

Words and music: Lanier Stevens
Lead:

From the Insert:

"On June 25, 1999, The Sounds of Glory were scheduled to spend the night in Minden, Louisiana at the home of Charles White.  We received a call just as we were leaving Madisonville that Charles, the 28 year old son of James and Diane White, and older brother of Britton White, died in an auto accident that morning.  While we had great plans for a fun evening the 25th, we were totally unaware of what was about to happen.  Lanier wrote the song 'I Have Other Plans For You' early the next morning... and it is our prayer that Charles' untimely death will help us all to remember that we must always say, 'If the Lord Wills'"

Lyrics:

With all our good intentions we make plans for everyday
We forget about our Savior in the garden as He prayed
"Take this cup of suffering from me, but it's your will I must do"
And His Father answered softly, "I have other plans for you"

Chorus:
I have other plans for you, though not the road that you might choose
I have other plans for you, I'll give you strength my will to do
If you will trust me as I lead you, I will surely take you through
I'll never leave you or forsake you, I have other plans for you

With no warning loved ones leave us, they are often called away
To their mansion up in heaven, in that land as bright as day
And with tear-dimmed eyes we listen to His words so clear and true
"Come home, my child, I love you, I have other plans for you"

Repeat Chorus

I'll never leave you or forsake you, I have other plans for you

Scriptural Reference:

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11

O the land of cloudless day (they tell me)
O the land of an unclouded sky
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise

And His smile drives their sorrows away
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of unclouded day

O they tell me of an unclouded day
O they tell me of an unclouded day (unclouded day)

Leave it All to Him

Words and music: Arnold Kornegay and Linda Spikes
Lead:

From the Insert:

"This song was written by Mr. Arnold Kornegay of Hearne, Texas as he stuggled with his feelings after the Kornegay's daughter, Debbie Lopez, on August 14, 1996, at the age of 39, lost her life in a head-on collision.  Arnold said 'All my life I had heard preachers say, 'If you have a burden, take it to the Lord and leave it there...' and I wasn't doing that.'  His dear friend, Linda Spikes wrote the harmony to this beautiful song and it is our prayer that if your heart is burdened, you may be inspired to leave it all to Him!"

Lyrics:

If you're alone and oh so lonely
And you don't know what to do
Jesus will bear your heavy load
He'll give you relief from your burden
He'll give you rest for your soul
So just leave it all to Him

Chorus:
Leave it all to the Savior
Yes, just leave it all to Him
Don't forget that He can save you
And will bear your heavy load
So just leave it all to Him

If you should need someone to guide you
All along life's troubled way
Why not just leave it all to Him?
He safely will lead through your journey
Follow His road and ways
And just leave it all to Him

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Don't forget that He can save you
And will bear your heavy load
So just leave it all to Him
Yes just leave it all to Him

A Voice of Praise

Words and music: Dale Underwood
Guest Vocalist: Kaylyn Underwood
Lead: Kaylyn Underwood and ?

From Insert:

"... inspired by the thought that the King of Kings pays attention when even the smallest of voices begins to offer Him praise."

Lyrics:

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are week, but He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
The Bible tells me so

In the quiet of the hour
A small voice dares to be heard
And though the voice is soft, the tones are hushed
You know the King of kings is stirred

Chorus:
A voice of praise will be the song we raise
A voice of praise to our King
A voice of praise lives on eternally
So let the heavens ring with a voice of praise

So hush, the angels listen in
As voices start to blend in love
For as the chorus grows, the praises swell
And spirits soar to heaven above

Repeat Chorus

La (la), la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la, la la

For the joy to know He listens now
As praises to His feet now fly
Angel wings, they beat the time
As all creation starts to sing

Repeat Chorus (x2)

A voice of praise, a voice of praise, a voice of praise (praise, praise, praise, praise)

Scriptural Reference:

"The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the Lord.  Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang: 'He is good; his love endures forever.' Then the temple of the Lord was filled with a cloud."  2 Chronicles 5:13
