Ooh... Take His
hand
Ooh... Take His hand
If you want some company

Put it all together

Oh yeah, He's what you will find

Say
that you believe in Jesus and give yourself a rest
Oh yeah, just give
yourself a rest
Repeat Chorus
I don't have to tell you 'bout the story of old
How their trust was
tested and the faith of Job
If you can feel and believe it you'll walk
the streets of gold
Oh yeah, you'll walk the streets of gold
Repeat Chorus
Take the hand of Jesus
Take His hand (to the promised land)

Lyrics:
Philip went out from Jerusalem
He was looking for a soul to
heal
He was Spirit led and the angel said
Go and find the one that
God will reveal
So he headed for a place called Gaza
Don't you know
it was a desert road
There's a eunuch there with his Chariot's
fare
Wonderin' who will tell him what he should know
He was readin'
from the prophets of old
Chorus:
Don't you know
That His coming was foretold
Can't you
see
That He came for you and for me
He was led like a sheep to the
slaughter
He was silent at the hand of the shear
They deprived Him
any measure of justice
And His life was taken from the Earth
You know Philip went up to the Chariot
And he said do you know what
you read
Tell me how can I was the Eunuch's reply
Unless someone
will explain it to me
Tell me who does the prophet speak of
Is it
him or is it some other one
Philip started with that, he told him where
it was at
As he told him of the news of God's son
Philip told him
that the Saviour had come
Repeat Chorus
As they traveled a little farther
They saw water by the side of the
road
There is water here and you've made it clear
What I need to do
to put on the Lord
So the two of them went down in the water
For the
cleansing of the eunuch's sin
Philip's day was made, the spirit took
him away
And the eunuch never saw him again
He was singing
hallelujah Amen
Repeat Chorus
Don't you know
That His coming was foretold
Can't you see
That
He came for you and for me
And don't you know
Can't you see
Don't
you know
That He came for you and for me
Scriptural Reference:
"Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, 'Go south to the road--the desert road--that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.' So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, 'Go to that chariot and stay near it.' Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. 'Do you understand what you are reading?' Philip asked. 'How can I,' he said, 'unless someone explains it to me?' So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: 'He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.' The eunuch asked Philip, 'Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?' Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, 'Look, here is water. Why shouldn't I be baptized?' Philip said, 'If you believe with all your heart, you may.' The eunuch answered, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing." Acts 8:26-39 (quote from Isaiah 53:7-8)

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Is it me Lord
Tell me am I the one
Is it me
Lord
Losing sight of the Son
Just as Judas betrayed
From the
Saviour I've strayed
Is it me Lord
Am I the one
As they gathered round the Savior at the table
And He told of many
things that were to pass
Not a single disciple would deny Him
They
would all remain beside Him to the last
Then He told them there was one
who would betray Him
In astonishment they did not understand
Who
among them could reject their Saviour
Who amonth them would refuse the
Man
Now I ask you again
Just as they asked Him then
Chorus 2:
Is it me Lord (is it me Lord)
Tell me am I the
one
Is it me Lord (is it me Lord)
Losing sight of the Son
Just as
Judas betrayed
From the Saviour I've strayed
Is it me Lord
Am I
the one
In the garden they arrested the Messiah
Just a kiss upon the cheek
gave Him away
Then one of His disciples tried to stop them
While the
others all stood by in their dismay
At the distance he was following
behind them
Peter said that he would never fail the Lord
Even though
he'd said three time he didn't know this Jesus
With a broken heart he
heard the rooster crow
Now I ask you again
Just as they asked Him then
Repeat Chorus 2
Now I ask myself am I
The one (am I the one)
Scriptural Reference:
"And while they were eating, he said, 'I tell you the truth, one of you
will betray me.' They were very sad and began to say to him one
after the other, 'Surely not I, Lord?'" Matthew 26:21-22
"Now the
betrayer had arranged a signal with them: 'The one I kiss is the man;
arrest him.' Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, 'Greetings, Rabbi!'
and kissed him. Jesus replied, 'Friend, do what you came for.'
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With
that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and
struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear." Matthew
26:48-51
"Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word
Jesus had spoken: 'Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three
times.' And he went outside and wept bitterly." Matthew 26:75

Lyrics:
How can you reach somebody
When you can't even find yourself
How
can you teach anybody
With your Bible still put up on the
shelf
Listen to the Spirit's call, read the writings on the wall
Chorus:
What will He say on the judgement day
Will He turn His
back and just walk away
My God, my God what have I done
Can I go
back and a maybe save someone
It's too late cried out the Lord
For
you man Hell's the only open door
A lukewarm Christian is what I
hate
Don't cry for me you know it's too late (it's too late)
A friend at work asked me yesterday
I heard that you could show us
the way
But I couldn't think of one thing to say
So I turned my back
and just walked away
Listen to the sinner's call, read the writings on
the wall
Repeat Chorus
I only wish that they would leave me alone
Stop calling me I'll hang
up the phone
Don't they know I'm busy I don't have the time
I'm
always out working trying to make a dime
2...3...4..
How can you reach somebody
When you can't even find
yourself
How can you teach anybody
With your Bible still put up on
the shelf
Listen to the Spirits call read the writings on the wall
Listen

Lyrics:
If you really want to feel this way
Talk to Jesus you know
everyday
You know He is a friend of mine
He's been known to even
heal the blind
Just trust in Him some people say
But I know He is
the only way
Chorus:
Don't hesitate (hesitate, hesitate)
The day is
today
Don't be afraid (don't be afraid)
Of a little change (just a
little change)
Just have some faith (have some faith, have some
faith)
Don't hesitate
Why don't you give your heart to Jesus now
One day you may even wear
a crown
You know we're looking for that one fine day
When we all may
hear Him say
Welcome home my child come on in
Once you are forgiven
of your sin
Repeat Chorus
Reach out and touch the man who died for you
Then every thing will
come into view
God is alive I know you've heard it before
But if you
feel Him, you know for sure
Come on and walk into the watery
grave
You know immersion is the only way
What are you waiting for?
Repeat Chorus
Just have some faith (have some faith, have some faith)
Don't
hesitate

"For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God." Acts 20:27

Lyrics:
I'm seein' the power of the Lord each and every day
Praising the
Saviour as I go on my way
Bought by the blood of Jesus Christ now I
say
I'm gonna walk the way that's straight
Chorus:
Following the path that's straight and narrow
Is a much
better place to be
Out of a life of sin and doubt
Full of pain and
misery
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Why don't you come unto
me
Now I have the peace He promised there would be
Na na na na (etc... interlude)
I'm walking the path that Jesus said everyone should take
Following
Him with every step that I make
Keeping in mind the one who died for my
sake
I'm gonna walk the way that's straight
Repeat Chorus
Na na na na (etc... interlude) (x2)

Lyrics:
Jesus journeyed through the land
Throughout all Galilee
Healing
hearts and souls of people
Just like you and me
From town to town
the glory
Of the Father He did share
And news of the
Messiah
Quickly spread everywhere
Upon a mountain Jesus stood
And
He began to speak
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Blessed are the
meek
If you must walk a mile by law
Then walk one more in
love
And seek first the Kingdom
Now at hand and from above
Chorus:
Oh listen to the Man on the mountain
From your heart
(from your heart) let His love flow like a fountain
As He spoke to His
disciples, He speaks to us today
Oh listen to the Man on the mountain
Let your light shine around you
For all the world to see
And
where your heart is
So will your treasures be
Do not worry 'bout
tomorrow
Or what the day may bring
See the flowers blooming
Hear
the birds as they sing
Repeat Chorus
Won't you listen to the man on the mountain
Scriptural Reference:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5:3
"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the
earth." Matthew 5:5

Lyrics:
Why don't you hear me Jesus my life seems such a mess
I'm sitting
here all alone I can't put my mind to rest
I'm drownin' in my sorrow
and the end I just can't see
Yeah, listen closely Father, won't you
please talk to me
If you could only speak out loud, what would you say to me?
Maybe
like you did for Paul, could you make my eyes to see
All the good that
I am though I refuse to be
Yeah, listen closely Father, won't you
please talk to me
You say that you're so lonely how your life is such a mess
Though I
gave my only Son for you to die a terrible death
Stop drowning in your
sorrow you say you want to be
Then forget your pride and self pity and
talk (talk) to (to) me
I just can't forget now how I've always been the one
To think of my
own feelings instead of God's only Son
I'm never lookin' back now I'm
falling on my knees
Yeah, listen closely Father, won't you please talk
to me
I hear you now my blessed child, I've been waiting patiently
Take my
hand and follow me to eternity (to eternity)
When you fall I'll pick
you up just don't forget that tree
Where I died so you can talk to me
Talk to me (talk to me)

Lyrics:
Simon was a man with a sorcerer's hand
All the people came to see
him from Samaria's land, land
With his mystic eyes he would
hypnotize
And the people never knew that he was tellin' 'em lies,
lies
Then apostles came around, they were all over town
Preachin'
Jesus is the only way
Many people believed, even Simon perceived
But
he didn't hear the preacher say
Chorus:
You can't buy the power with the money in hand
That was
never part of the Master's plan
Not for selfish reasons of the mortal
man
You can't buy the power with the money in hand
Simon saw the men that the Spirit was in
And he knew he had to have
it, it was covetous sin, sin
When he asked to buy, Peter gave the
reply
That his money was a problem, gonna cause him to die, die
When
he told him repent it was Simon's lament
For ever having such a though
in his heart
If he lost the greed he would surely succeed
But he
couldn't find a place to start
Repeat Chorus
The Bible tells me salvation is free
Cause the Savior paid the price
upon Calvary's tree, tree
It was once for all we must hear the
call
It was even for a sinner by the name of Saul, Saul
In the heart
of Simon was he really lyin'
Knowing profit was a part of his
plan
Its the same today there's people tryin' to pay
Will they ever
really understand?
Repeat Chorus
You can't buy the power with the money in hand
Jesus gave His life
for the Master's plan
Not for selfish reasons, don't
misunderstand
You can't buy the power and nobody can
Scriptural Reference:
"Peter answered: 'May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!'" Acts 8:20

Chorus:
Oh Father hear this prayer we offer
Oh Father hear this
prayer we say (we say)
Oh Father maker of all nature
Oh Father hear
our prayer today
Our God and Father in heaven
Thanks for giving us your Son
What a
sacrifice it must have been
Being He was your only one
Repeat Chorus
We send our love as an offering
We worship you with each
breath
Our hearts joy in your holy truth
Our lips will sing your
praise
Repeat Chorus
Oh Father
