Lyrics and Scriptural Reference:

He fed the thousands who did not have bread (Luke 9:10-17)
I saw him bringing people back from the dead (Luke 8:49-56)
He drove out demons from the demon-bound (Luke 8:26-39)
And taught us how to walk on holy ground

He made the leper's skin like new (Luke 17:11-19)
The storm dissipated when he told it to (Luke 8:22-25)
Took jars of water turned it into wine (John 2:1-11)
The Savior even healed this heart of mine

Chorus:
We have seen His glory
We have seen His glory
We have seen His glory
The one and only son

I was there the day when the dove came down (Matthew 3:16-17)
Saw soldiers with thorns to make His crown (Matthew 27:28-29)
Felt the whole earth quake, darkness on the land (Matthew 27:51-55)
After he was dead, he came to life again (Matthew 28:2-10)

I was there when he said that he couldn't stay
Was on the Mount of Olives watching Him fly away (Luke 24:44-53)
In the upper room with power, the Spirit came
To give us guidance as we declare His name

Repeat Chorus

I see how he works in our lives today
Through the things not explained any other way
I have known his guidance and I understand
The contentment shown by His loving hand

I can see Him working in His family
Who are clearly following their destiny
I can feel his power in their unending love
An awesome power coming from above… above

Repeat Chorus

We have seen the glory of the Son

We Will See Jesus

Words and music: Duane Adams © 1991 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
Lead: Duane Adams
Sample: Windows Media

Lyrics:

Listen-Listen up people
We will see Him
Celebration is on the way my friend
The Son of my God will descend
And all of the faithful and true will rise in Jesus name
Broken hearts will be restored
Evil won't be around here no more
Face to face with the One
Whose promises were not in vain

If you can believe that there is a God who loves you
Then you can receive what your heart desires
If you can believe He is waiting to bless you
And take you to mansions escaping the fire

Chorus:
We will see Jesus in all of His glory
He's prepared a place for you and me
We can rejoice now in telling His story
Finally home in that land
Lifting our voices and praising our God who cares
Won't it be grand now when He takes us away there
Oh what a day that will be

When I gave my heart away
I started storing my treasures away
Where Satan could not destroy
What my God has done in love
Can you visualize a time
Of dwelling in love so divine
Finally resting my soul
In the Light from above

I wanna be there to see the things that John saw
With never a care, finally understand
I wanna be there to help em' sing a new song
Worthy is the Lamb, Worthy is the Lamb

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

For the sake of the throne we must pledge our allegiance
In finding the ones who've been called
And re-emphasize what the Bible still teaches
Jesus is waiting to save one and all

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Scriptural Reference:

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22

Lyrics:

How can I truly show that I love you?
How can I truly say how I need you?
How can I really share what I'm feeling?
Can I reveal my heart as I'm kneeling?

How can I ever learn your compassion?
Covered and clothed with Christ for my fashion
Turning aside I feel godly sorrow
You confidently secure my tomorrow

How can I truly show that I love you?
How can I truly say how I need you?
How can I really share what I'm feeling?
How can I truly say?

We'll sing 'en fast and we'll sing 'en slow
So get off your sear and just let go

Repeat Chorus

We're gonna sing We're gonna sing (repeat 4x)

Listen up people and let me tell you 'bout the great one

And in the midst of your hustle and bustle remember to

Chorus:
Go down to the river end talk to Jah
Talk to Jah

Well way back in the Bible days,
He told the people consider your ways
As you rise and work and pray,
don't forget who helped you see a brand new day
And as you live in fancy home
don't turn your back on Jah you cannot make it alone

Hey mom
As you plant and sow
Hey mom
And no harvest grows
Why mom
This should let you know that he withholds from you
Hey mom
All these blessings here
Hey mom
That you hold so dear
Hey mom
Don't you know from whence they came

Oh, but let me say to all of you
who talk to Jah and he talk to you
You will be strong all across this great big land
because you have the power of his almighty hand
And in the hours of troubled times
you will be given peace of mind because you went

Repeat Chorus

You can talk to Jah, he's not very far
He's been wanting all along to hear from you
All the yang and old feel him in their soul
cause that is where he wants to be

So this is what Jah say to you
The silver's mine and the gold is too
My latter glory's greater still
I'm in your heart and you are in my will
So when you need a chat or two
I will be here and you know what to do

Go down to the river and talk to Jah
Talk to Jah, talk to Jah

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Angels long to look into these things (repeat 3x)
The glory of Jesus

He has given us new birth into a living hope
Through his resurrection from the dead
He has given us a new birth into inheritance
That can never perish, spoil or fade
In this we greatly rejoice even though we suffer
Grief and trials, we have genuine faith
We are filled with joy, we love him, we believe in him
Even though we have not seen his face

Joy inexpressible and glorious
We are receiving the goal of our faith

Repeat Chorus

He prophets intently searched, searched with the greatest care
To find the time when Christ would come
It was not revealed to those who were searching then
But now we know the glory of the Son
Concerning this salvation the grace that has come to us
Praise God the mystery's been revealed
We are filled with joy, we love him we believe in him
And angels long to look in these things

Joy inexpressible and glorious
We are receiving the goal of our faith

Reapeat Chorus

Scriptural Reference:

"Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade . . . In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith . . . may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told to you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things." 1 Peter 1:3-12

Lyrics:

Thank you Jesus for saving my soul
Thank you Lord for inviting
You're preparing my heavenly goal
Hardly wait, so exciting
Now I'm part of the family
This is something to live for
You're provide my liberty
Making me want to give more

Thank you Jesus, you opened my eyes
Showing truth from the fiction
Help me better to realize

You are God You became a man
Came to love and to heal us
Now the gospel I understand
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

You are God you became a man
Now this gospel I understand
And you've done everything you can
Now this gospel I understand

Thank you Jesus, for loving me still
Ways that we cannot measure
Give me courage for doing your will
Serving you is a pleasure
You've created my heart to sing
All the world's gonna hear it
You're Creator of everything
Fill me now with your Spirit

Thank you Jesus, for taking me home
You're the one who is knowing
Stay with me so I'm never alone
Everywhere that we're going
Guiding me down the narrow road
Showing me the direction
Taking over my heavy load
Promising resurrection

Repeat Chorus (x2)

I understand, I understand
I can, I can understand it

Thank you Jesus, you opened my eyes
Showing truth from the fiction
Help me better to realize
There's no contradiction

Came to love and to heal us
Now the gospel I understand
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
