Lyrics:
I am a new man
My soul has been won
I have a new name
The name
of the Son
I drink a new wine
I sing a new song
I have new
blessings
I’m bringing along
Although my life is totally new
I have another point of
view
Cause when it comes to singin His praise
I still like the old
days
Chorus:
Just like the old days (just like the, just like the old
days)
Living in the Lord’s ways (livin' in the, livin' in the Lord's
ways)
Preachin prayin shout (preachin' prayin', preachin'
prayin')
And singing His praise (shout, shout)
Just like the old
days (just like the, just like the old days)
I am a changed man
I live a new way
I keep on changing
Each
and every day
His Word is changing
The words that I say
His
Spirit changing
The way that I pray
Although this change has come over me
And set my spirit totally
free
When it comes to singin His praise
I still like the old
days
Repeat Chorus

Chorus 1:
Get away (get away Jordan) - get away (get away oh chilly
Jordan)
Oh get away - Oh chilly Jordan
I wanna cross over to see my
Lord!
Chorus 2:
I said Get away (get away Jordan) - I said get away (get
away oh chilly Jordan)
Oh get away - Oh chilly Jordan
I wanna cross
over to see my Lord!
Well I promised the Lord if He'd set me free (well I wanna cross over
to see me Lord)
I’d be happy to find what the end might be (well I
wanna cross over to see me Lord)
One day, one day I was walkin along
(well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
I heard a voice but I saw no
one (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Well the voice I heard
sounded oh so sweet (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Came down
from my head to the soul of my feet (well I wanna cross over to see me
Lord)
Repeat Chorus 2
Well one of these mornings and it wont be long (well I wanna cross over
to see me Lord)
You're gonna look for me child but I'll be gone (well I
wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Just a few more risings and settings
of the sun (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
My battle be fought
and the victory won (well I wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Well the
friends in life that I love so dear (well I wanna cross over to see me
Lord)
Oh no no no... They've gone on to glory and left me here (well I
wanna cross over to see me Lord)
Bridge:
Well my feet get cold my eyes are shut
My body been
chilled by the hand of death
Tongue glued to the roof of my mouth
My
hands lay folded across my breast
Don't have to worry 'bout the way I
fare
God Almighty done told me that He would be right there
To lift
me up on His wings of love
Carry my soul to the heaven above
They
tell me Jordans deep and wide
Promised mother I'd see her on the other
side
Chorus 3:
Now get away (get away Jordan) - ph get away (get away oh
chilly Jordan)
Get a way back, get back Jordan
I wanna cross over to
see my Lord!
Chorus 4:
I said get away (get away Jordan) - oh get away (get away
oh chilly Jordan)
Get a way back, get back Jordan
I wanna cross over
to see my Lord!
My Lord (oh my Lord)

Lyrics:
Child of Bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful Star of Bethlehem
Shining afar thru shadows
dim
Giving a light for those who long have gone
And guiding the wise
men on their way
Unto the place where Jesus lay
Beautiful Star of
Bethlehem shine on
Chorus:
Oh Beautiful Star (beautiful, beautiful star) of Bethlehem
(star of Bethlehem)
Shine upon us until the glory dawns
Give us a
light to guide the way unto the land of perfect day
Beautiful Star of
Bethlehem shine on
Child of Bethlehem shine on
Oh Beautiful Star the hope of light
Guiding the pilgrims thru the
night
Over the mountains till the break of dawn
And into the light
of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Beautiful Star of
Bethlehem shine on
Repeat Chorus
Child of Bethlehem shine on
Oh Beautiful Star the hope of rest (for the redeemed, for the
redeemed)
For the redeemed the good and blest (yonder)
Yonder in
glory when the crown is won (Jesus is now, Jesus is now, Jesus is
now)
For Jesus is now that Star divine (brighter)
Brighter and
brighter He will shine
Beautiful Star of Bethlehem shine on
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh." Matthew 2:9-11

Lyrics:
If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a
thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my
only goal
(Spend my gold) I'd spend my gold on selfish
things
Without the love that Your life brings
(Just a little bit
more) Just a little bit more is all I'd need
'Til life was torn from
me
Chorus:
I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or
poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the
forest in spite of the trees
Your grace provides for me
Provides for me, provides for me
If I should walk the streets no place to sleep
No faith in promises
You keep
I'd have no way to buy my bread
With a bottle for my
bed
But if I trust the One who died for me
Who shed His blood to set
me free
(I will trust in You) If I live my life to trust in You
Your
grace will see me through
Repeat Chorus
Your grace provides for me
Your grace provides for me

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Well-a, Well-a Wake up from your slumber
Salvation is
upon you
Come out from the darkness
Put on the armor of light
Do
right in the daytime
Do right in the night
Put off the rags of
evil
Put on the robe of white
There's no time for sleeping
And no
time for delaying
It's time your eyes are open
It's time to fight
the fight
He's coming you're a knowing
His seeds you should be
sowing
Get off the couch of easy
Get up and do the right!
Can’t you see the morning coming
Can’t you see the light of
day
Soon will be the final coming
Soon will be the judgment
day
No waiting, hesitating
Keep watching, keep praying
Repeat Chorus
Can you see the people searching
Can you see they need The
Way
Can you see their hearts are breaking
Can you go His Will
obey
No waiting, hesitating
Keep watching, keep praying
Bridge:
World in darkness
Sin and madness
Help them find the
day
Christian witness
Love and kindness
We must lead the Way
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
Well-a, Well-a Wake up
Scriptural Reference:
"And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature." Romans 13:11-14

Lyrics:
Remind me, remind me dear Lord
All the things that I love and hold dear to my heart
Are just
borrowed they’re not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them to brighten
my life
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Chorus:
Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
Show me
where you brought me from
And where I could have been
Remember I'm
human and humans forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
(Please dear Lord remind me)
Nothing good have I done to deserve God's own Son (and I'm not
worthy)
I'm not worthy of the scars in His hands (went to
Calvary)
Yet he chose the road to Calvary to die in my stead
Why He
loved me I can't understand
Repeat Chorus (x2)
So remind me, remind me dear Lord
Scriptural Reference:
"All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:25-26

Chorus:
Well I’m gonna walk right out of this valley
Lift my
hands and praise the Lord
Said I ain’t gonna let old Satan get me down,
down, down
Why should I sit here till I die?
Heaven is a waiting up
a little bit higher
I’m gonna walk out of this valley with my Lord
Now the Lord let down the hedge on Job to try him
Took all of his
children and everything that he owned (all he owned)
But no Job didn’t
sit down and cry
No he lifted his head up high, and came out of that
valley
Praised God with a whole lot more!
Repeat Chorus
Well now the road that we’ve got to travel to that city
Well it
won’t always be on the mountaintop (mountaintop)
But you know the
valley that we’ve got to face
God said He’s gonna give us grace
To
come up on the hill where the sun is shining bright
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Well I’m gonna walk right out of this valley
Lift my hands and
praise the Lord
Said I ain’t gonna let old Satan get me down, down,
down
Down, down, down
I’m gonna walk out of this valley with my
Lord

Chorus:
In my robe of white, I will fly away
To that land so
fair, meet my Jesus there
It will be so grand when I get to that
land
In my robe of white, I will fly away
First I'll hear the trumpet sound
All the saints will be heaven
bound
We will cross over Jordan wide
Stop and view the other
side
There I'll see those holy hills
And my mansion He has
built
I'll be the first one in the line
Gonna see my name in the
Book of Life
Repeat Chorus
It's gonna be a wonderful time
When I get to the other side
See
my loved ones gone before
We'll depart never more
We'll be walking
on streets of gold
Surrounded by riches untold
When I first look
upon His face
I'll be safe in His amazing grace
Repeat Chorus
I'll fly away
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)
In my robe of white, I will fly away (I will fly away)
Scriptural Reference:
"Then one of the elders asked me, 'These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?' I answered, 'Sir, you know.' And he said, 'These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.'" Revelation 7:13-14

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
This is how we know true love
Jesus gave His life for
others
This is how we show true love
We should give our life for our
brothers
He gave His life for you
He gave His life for me
He gave
His life for you
He gave His life for me
Love is demonstrated
Feigned and underrated
Love is demonstrated
again
Love from everlasting
Love all else surpassing
Love to
everlasting again
God so loved, gave His Son
Jesus loved, gave His
life
Repeat Chorus 1
Love with great compassion
When love was not in fashion
Love
showed great compassion again
Love in all creation
Love for every
nation
Love for every man, woman, child
God so loved, gave His
Son
Jesus loved, gave His life
Chorus 2:
This is how we know true love (this is how we know true
love)
Jesus gave His life for others (He gave His life)
This is how
we show true love (it's how we show true love)
We should give our life
for our brothers (we should give our life)
He gave His life for
you
He gave His life for me (God's only Son)
He gave His life for
you (Jesus gave His life)
He gave His life for me (love for one
another)
This is how we know true love
Scriptural Reference:
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" 1 John 3:16-17
