Lyrics:
Chorus:
How about your heart, is it right with God?
That's the
thing that counts today
Is it black by sin, is it pure within?
Could
you ask Christ in to stay?
People often see you as you are outside
Jesus really knows you for
He sees inside
How about your heart, is it right with God?
That's the thing that
counts today
People often see you as you are outside
Jesus really knows you for
He sees inside
How about your heart, is it right with God?
That's the thing that
counts today

Lyrics:
Satan led my soul astray (Satan led my soul astray I drifted)
From
the straight and narrow way (that leads to happiness and life
eternal)
But to Jesus I did pray (to the Lord I humbly prayed)
He
heard my prayer, rescued me that very day (that very day)
Chorus:
Praise God I'm free (free from every chain of sin)
I've
been set free by the grace of God
I'm free (with a settled peace
within)
No more the paths of sin I trod
I'm free (heaven's gates
I'll enter in)
The blood has cleansed every sinful stain
I'm free
(praise the living God)
I'm free again (I'm free again)
Soon the pearly gates I'll see (soon the pearly gates I'll see in
heaven)
Soon I'll live eternally (and then I'll never die but live
forever)
Friends and loved ones wait for me (friends and love ones wait
for me)
I'll sail up high through the sky because I'm free (because I'm
free)
Repeat Chorus

Lyrics:
When the Lord gave you life it would break His heart each time you went
astray
But from your side He'd never part, He'd always show you the
way
Now you've won the fight for truth and right, down here your work
is o'er
You've gone to dwell where there's no night and pain
can harm you no more
Chorus:
Just wait (wait for me) for me up in glory (wait up in
glory)
Yes wait by the river of life (wait by the river of
life)
Tell Jesus (tell Him for me) for me that I'm lonely (tell Him I'm
lonely)
And burdened with sorrow and strife (burdened with sorrow and
strife)
But tell Him (tell Him) I'll still sing love's story (I'll
still sing love's story)
Yes until this life is through (until my life
here is through)
Just wait for me up in glory (wait for me up in
glory)
And soon I'll be coming to you (soon I'll be coming to you)
When the Lord called you home it broke my heart to see you go
away
Although I knew right from the start we'd meet again someday
So
I'll watch and pray both night and day until my work is through
Then I
shall hear my master say, "Come home, we're waiting for you"
Repeat Chorus

Lyrics:
There will be a happy meeting in heaven I know
When we see the many
loved ones we've known here below
Gather on the blessed hilltops with
hearts all aglow
That will be a glad reunion day
Chorus:
Glad day (that will be a happy day yes), a wonderful
day
Glad day (that will be a happy day yes), a glorious day
There
with all the holy angels and loved ones to stay
That will be a glad
reunion day
When we live a million years in that wonderful place
Basking in the
love of Jesus beholding His face
It will seem but just a moment of
praising His grace
That will be a glad reunion day
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
What a glad thought some wonderful morning
I shall hear
Gabriel's trumpet sound
(When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no
more
Rising to meet my blessed Redeemer
With a glad shout I'll leave
the ground
(When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no more
Chorus:
When I wake up (some glad morning)
To sleep no
more (jewels adorning)
Happy I'll be (over in Glory)
On
heaven's bright shore (telling the story)
With the redeemed of all the
ages
Praising the One whom I adore
(When I wake up) When I wake up
to sleep no more
Glory to God I'll have a new body
Changed in the twinkling of
an eye
(When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no more
Leaving
behind all trouble and sorrow
Bound for that city up on high
(When I
wake up) When I wake up to sleep no more
Repeat Chorus
I shall behold the beauties of heaven
With the redeemed of every
race
(When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no more
Neath the
green trees, beside the still waters
I shall then find a resting
place
(When I wake up) When I wake up to sleep no more
Repeat Chorus (x2)
(When I wake up) When I wake up (to sleep no more) to sleep no more

Lyrics:
This next song is lovingly dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, Wayne Coleman
Spoken over Verse 1 and the Chorus:
At the age of 26, plagued by
personal crisis and an overwhelming emptiness in his life, he found
himself unable to cope because he did not believe in God. He said,
"Lanier, I have to prove to myself that there is a God," and he began
studying the Bible and in one year read it through about 8 times.
Needless to say, not only did he come to believe in God, but became a
devout and faithful Christian. He often said he had a sermon he
hoped someday to preach. He frequently asked, "Why can't people
see?" It was that question that inspired me to write this
song. It is our prayer that whereever this song is sung and hearts
are touched Wayne will be preaching the sermon he so longed to
preach.
This life's too short and filled with pain
To waste our time
for earthly gain
It has to be much sweeter there
Why can't we see,
Lord hear our prayer?
Chorus:
Why can't we see, why do we sin?
We must not let the
tempter in
Oh Jesus make our hearts your throne
So we can see we're
not alone
Leukemia took his earthly life at the age of 33. His last words to me were "Though He slay me, still I trust Him"
Repeat Verse 1
Repeat Chorus
If I could live my life again
I'd keep it free from so much sin
I
would not hurt the ones I love
I want to please my Lord above
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun." Psalm 37:5-6
Words and music:

Lyrics:
When Jesus comes again to gather His own
And to the true a crown is
giv'n
I want to hear Him say, "My servant, well done
Thy soul shall
know the joys of heaven"
Chorus:
I want to know that He will (I want to know that He will)
welcome me there
I do not want to be (I do not want to be) denied
I
want to meet Him in that (I want to meet Him in that) city so fair
And
ever there with Him abide
I do not know the day my Savior will come
But I must be prepared to
go
If I'm ready He will call me His own
And that's enough for me to
know
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." Hebrews 9:28

Lyrics:
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and
forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there
to prove my savior lives
Chorus:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives,
all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is
worth the living just because He lives
And then one day, I'll cross the river
I'll fight final, final war,
that war with pain
And then as death gives way to vict'ry
I'll see
the light of glory then I'll know He reigns
Repeat Chorus
And life is worth the living just because He lives
Scriptural Reference:
"Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them." Hebrews 7:25
Words and music:
Lead: C.D. Davis
Lyrics:
When I get to heaven I'll see Him, look upon the face
Of the one who
saved me and keeps me by His amazing grace
Then I'm gonna thank Him and
praise Him, the half has never been told
(And then I'm gonna walk) Walk
right in on the streets of gold
Chorus:
Don't you know I'll walk (walk right in) on the streets of
gold (streets of pure gold)
When I get to heaven, gonna take a little
stroll (take a little stroll)
Then I'm gonna sit down and talk to the
prophets of old
(And then I'm gonna walk) Walk along the streets
of gold
Thinking of the beauty that waits me in that home
above
Knowing we will live there forever and share His wonderful
love
Makes me more determined to serve Him and reach that heavenly
goal
(And then I'm gonna walk) Walk right in on the streets of gold
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass." Revelation 21:21
