LOVE WAS WHEN

3 Don Wyrtzen, John Walvoord

Verse 1Love was when, God became a manLocked in time and spaceWithout rank or place.Love was God, born of Jewish kin.Just a carpenter with some fishermen.

Chorus: Love was when Jesus walked in history.Lovingly He brought a new life that's free.Love was God, nailed to bleed and die.To reach and love one such as I.

Verse 2 Love was when God became a man,Down where I could see,Love that reached to me. Love was God, dying for my sin.And so trapped was I, My whole world caved in.

Chorus: Love was when Jesus rose to walk with me,Lovingly He brought a new life that's free,Love was God, only He would tryTo reach and love one such as I.

Verse 2Up to the walls of JerichoHe marched with spear in hand.“Go blow them trumpets,” Joshua cried,“For the battle is in God’s hand.” Oh (Chorus)

Verse 3All the people followed good old Joshua,With the trumpets made a mighty sound,And the earth gave such an awful shake,That the walls a come tumblin' down. (Chorus)© 1976 Heritage Music Press

ONLY A BOY NAMED DAVID54 Arthur Smith Arnott

I JUST FEEL LIKE SOMETHING GOOD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN

60 William J. Gaither

Verse 1I just feel like something good is about to happen,I just feel like something good is on its way.He has promised that He'd open all of heaven,And brother, it could happen any day.When God's people humble themselves to call on Jesus,And they look to heaven expecting as they pray.I just feel like something good is about to happen,And brother this could be that very day.

Verse 2I have learned in all that happens just to praise Him.For I know He's working all things for my good.Ev'ry tear I shed is worth all the investment.For I know He'll see me through, He said He would.He has promised eye nor ear can hardly fathom,All the things He has in store for those who pray.I just feel like something good is about to happen,And brother this could be that very day.

Verse 3Yes I've noticed all the bad news in the paper.And it seems like things are bleaker ev'ry day.But for this child of God it makes no difference.Because it's bound to get better either way.I've never been more thrilled about tomorrow.Sunshine's always bursting through the skies of gray.I just feel like something good is about the happen,And brother this could be that very day. © 1974 William J.

(Sung to the tune of NEAR THE CROSS)Verse 1Daniel was a man of prayer,Daily prayed he three times.Even when they cast him down,In the den of lions.Even then, in the den,Fear could not alarm him.God just shut the lions mouths,So they could not harm him.

Verse 2Just like Daniel you should be,Faithful to the Savior;There are others standing near,Watching your behavior.Trust and pray, and obey,When life's trials alarm you.God is there to take your hand,Nothing then can harm you.© 1975 Child Evangelism Fellowship

Verse 2O such great pain my Lord endured,When He my sinful soul secured.I should have died there, but Jesus took my place.So now I sing a brand new song, "Amazing Grace," (The whole day long.)Christ Jesus paid a debt that I could never pay.

Verse 4My debt He paid upon the cross.He cleansed my soul from all it’s dross.I thought that no one, could all my sins erase.But now I sing a brand new song, “Amazing Grace.” (The whole day long.)For Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay.© 1977 Ellis J. Crum, Publisher

Chorus: "Holy, holy, God Almighty,Who was, Who is and is to come."All the angels are crying "Holy"To the Lamb who sits upon the throne.

Verse 2I see One who's full of wonder,Eyes of fire and voice of thunder,Shining bright His majesty.All the colors of the rainbowCircle Him and fill His templeSo beautiful this is to me.And a symphony of praise arisesTears are wiped away from eyesAs men from ev'ry tongueAnd tribe all sing.

Chorus: "Holy, holy, God AlmightyWho was, Who is and is to come."All creation is bringing gloryTo the Lamb who sits upon the throne.

IT IS FINISHED

Verse 1There's a line that's been drawn through the ages,On that line stands the old rugged cross,On that cross a battle is raging,For the gain of man's soul or His loss.

Chorus: It is finished! The battle is over,It is finished! There'll be no more war,It is finished! The end of the conflict,It is finished! And Jesus is Lord.

Verse 2On one side march the forces of evil,All the demons and devils of hell,On the other the angels of glory,And they meet on Golgotha's hill.

Verse 3The earth shakes with the force of the conflict,And the sun refuses to shine;For there hangs God's Son in the balance,And then through the darkness He cries; (Chorus)

Verse 4Yet in my heart the battle was raging,Not all prisoners of war have come home,They were battlefields of my own making,Didn't know that the war had been won.

Verse 5Then I heard that the King of the ages,Had fought all the battle for me,And victory was mine for the claiming,And now, praise His name, I am free. (Chorus)© 1976 William J. Gaither, Inc.

GRUMBLERS

216 Thoro Harris

Verse 1In country town or city, some people can be found.Who spend their lives in grumbling, at everything around.Oh yes they always grumble, no matter what we say,For these are chronic grumblers, and they grumble night and day.

Chorus: O, they grumble on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,Grumble on Thursday too,Grumble on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.Grumble the whole week through.O, they grumble on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,Grumble on Thursday too,Grumble on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.Grumble the whole week through.

Verse 2They grumble in the city, they grumble on the farm,They grumble at their neighbors, they think it is no harm.They grumble at their husbands, they grumble at their wives,They grumble at their children, but the grumbler never thrives.

Verse 3They grumble when it's raining, they grumble when it's dry,And if the crops are failing, they grumble and they sigh.They grumble at low prices, and grumble when they're high,They grumble all the year 'round, and they grumble till they die.

Verse 4They grumble at the preacher, they grumble at his prayer,They grumble at his preaching, they grumble everywhere.They grumble at God's people, and say 'tis all display.But holy folks don't grumble, they have only time to pray.

Verse 5They stay away from meeting, because it's hot or cold,Or else it looks like raining, a headache or a cold.And when the offerings taken, they're sure to pout and sigh,And say they feel so sorry, always money is the cry.

Verse 6If you don't quit your grumbling, and stop it now and here,You'll never get to Heaven, no grumblers enter there.Repent and be converted, be saved from all your sin.You know that grumbling Christians, find it hard a crown to win.Public Domain

REACH OUT TO JESUS

217 Ralph Carmichael

Verse 1Is your burden heavy,As you bear it all alone?Does the road you travel,Harbor danger yet unknown?Are you growing weary,In the struggle of it all?Jesus will help you,When on His name you call.

Chorus: He is always there, hearing ev'ry prayer.Faithful and true. Walking by our side,In His love we hide, all the day through.When you get discouraged, Just remember what to do.Reach out to Jesus, He's reaching out to you.

Verse 2Is the life you're living,Filled with sorrow and despair?Does the future press you,With its worry and its care?Are you tired and friendless,Have you almost lost your way?Jesus, will help you,Just come to Him today.© 1968 Bud John Songs, Inc.

JESUS IS ALIVE AND WELL TODAY

352 Gary Mabry

Verse 1Blue skies and rainbowsAnd sunbeams from heaven.Are what I can see whenMy Lord is living in me.

Chorus: Jesus is well and alive today,He makes His home in my heart.Never more will I be all alone since HePromised me that we never would part.

Verse 2Green grass and flowers,All blooming in springtime,Are works of the MasterI live for each day.

Verse 3Tall mountains, green valleys,The beauty that surrounds me.All make me aware of the OneWho made it all.© 1971 Boston Music Co.

BY THE GRACE OF THE LAMB

353 Jeff Moody & Justin Peters

Verse 1By the grace of the LambMy soul has been set free.By the grace of the LambI’ve been redeemed.By the grace of the LambI can walk through heavens door.By the grace of the LambI’ve been redeemed.

Chorus: Behold the Lamb of GodWho takes away our sin.Behold the Lamb of GodThrough whom we enter in.Giving gory and honor and power and praise,To Jesus the Savior the Lamb that was slain.

Verse 2By the grace of the LambMy soul has been set free.By the grace of the LambI’ve been redeemed.By the grace of the LambI can walk through heavens door.By the grace of the Lamb,By the grace of the LambBy the grace of the LambI’ve been redeemed.
