Songs
for Him

Trust in the Lord
With all your heart
And do not lean
On your own smarts

Acknowledge Him
In all your ways
Cause He's guaranteed
To make your path straight

Take off the old man
Put on the new
Forget about the things
That you used to do

Open your Bible
It'll make good sense
Or you'll feel real bad
When you straddle the fence

Because if you're gonna go
Go all the way
Hey, it's fourth down
And there's one more play

Don't be afraid
Of what people say
So if you're gonna go
Go all the way

Poor old Jonah
Wouldn't listen to the Lord
Until they finally
Threw him overboard

He cried out from the belly
Of that big old fish
I'll go to Nin-uh-vuh
And not Tar-shish

Mister Anna-nye-us
Hedged on a pledge
By holding back
On what he vowed to give

To him it was
Just a little white lie
But Peter stood and watched him go

Bye... Bye
Bye... Bye

So if you're gonna go
Go all the way
Hey, it's fourth down
And there's one more play

Don't be afraid
Of what people say
So if you're gonna go
Go all the way

You gotta be hot
Or you gotta be cold
He won't like it
If you turn lukewarm

You gotta be in
Or you gotta be out
To keep from getting spewed
From out of His mouth

Keep walking by faith
And not by sight
Hold on to Him
With all of your might

Don't be fooled
By false angels of light
They only work for Satan

The deceiver
The liar
The father of lies

So if you're gonna go
Go all the way
Hey, it's getting close
Now don't go astray

There's only One
Who paid your way
So if you're gonna go
Go all the way

Jesus is coming back
And it's gonna be soon
The bride is finally
Gonna meet the groom

The Son of God
The Son of Man
The host of grace
At the marriage supper of the Lamb

So if you're gonna go
Go all the way
Hey, the clock's running down
And we're in the last days

His Father is the One
Who has called the play
So if you're gonna go
Go all the way

It's fourth down
Go all the way

The clock's running down
Go all the way

He's called the play
So go all the way

Early... when I rise
To seek Your face
Baaathing in Your presence, Lord
Just to sing You praise

I know that there is nothing
That I can't face
Because of You

Cause when You paaaid the price
Up on the cross
What a free gift... for me, Lord
I had no cost

And now I know that I am found
And I am not lost
Because of You

Oh... how I long... to behold Your glory
And to rest...
In... Your loving arms

It doesn't matter... what the world does to me... Lord
I know
That You're not far from me

So... when my enemy comes
And tries to bring me down
I know... my God
That You're around

And... there never is a reason
To give up ground
Because of You

Oh... how I long... to behold Your glory
And to rest...
In... Your loving arms

It doesn't matter... what the world does to me... Lord
I know
That You're not far from me

You promised to me
To never walk away
Always be here to call upon You

To remind me... You gave me the strength... I... need
So I'll know there is nothing
That I cannot face
Because of You

Oh... how I long to behold Your beauty
And to rest... in... Your loving arms

It will never matter
What the world tries to do to me

Jesus
I know
That You're not far from me

I know
That You will never leave me
Or ever forsake me

I'll always know
That I can boldly stand in Your name
Because You are standing with me

I have been found and am no longer lost
Because of You

Always
Because of You

Forever
Because of Youuuuuh

Commmme to the cross
Lay your buuuurdens down
It's a caaall to the lost
Now you can be found

There is nothing moooore
That you need to do
Just come to the crooooss
Lay your burdens down

Jesus is the only
Way to the Father
Puuuut your trust in Him

There's only one way
For you to be saved
By the Spirit
You must be born again

So come to the cross
And be born again
Jesus paid the price
He died for all your sins

There is nothing more
That you need to do
Just come to the cross
And be born again

Just come...
Lay your life down
His cry for you
Such a wonderful sound

Just come
Believe in your heart

Confess with your mouth

Just come
Cause Jesus is Lord

Just come
He rose from the dead

So you could
Come to the cross
And be born again

Yes, born aaaaaaaagain

Just commmme... to... the cross

There's a story written down
In the Book of old
About three godly boys
And a king

They were Shadrach, Meshach
And Abednego
And the king's song
They would not sing

The king told his men
Turn up the flames
They tied the three up
And threw 'em in

But they trusted in the Lord
With all of their hearts
They walked in the fire
And out again

Trust in the Lord
With all your heart
Put all your faith in Him

You might spend some time
Standing in a fire
Even though your life looks dim

You're gonna come out smellin'
Like you've never been burnt
Though the heat's got you sweatin' within

Just trust in the Lord
With all of your heart
Put all your faith in Him

Daniel, he was a godly boy
Who always took time to pray
And all the king's men
They didn't like young Daniel
So with him they thought they'd do away

They threw him into
A lion's den
Because prayer he wouldn't live without

So the Lord sent an angel
To help old Daniel
He went and shut the lion's mouth

So just trust in the Lord
With all your heart
Put all your faith in Him

You might spend some time
Standing in a fire
Or sitting in a lion's den

You're gonna come out smellin'
Like you've never been burnt
The lion will never get his teeth sunk in

Just trust in the Lord
With all of your heart
Put all your faith in Him

Oh my Lord
Yes, my Lord
Ohhhhh
Ohhh, my Lord

Oh my Lord
Yes, my Lord
Ohhhhh
Ohhh, my Lord

In the fire
Or in the den
Gonna put my trust in Him

It might look dim
Like teeth sunk in
Just put your trust in Him

Oh my Lord
Yes, my Lord
Ohhhhh
Ohhh, my Lord

Trust the Lord
Ohhh, ohhh, my Lord

Put your trust in Him
Ohhh, ohhh, my Lord

Just trust in Him
Ohhh, ohhh
Myyyyy Lord

I come here, Lord
Oh... to sit down at Your feet
And lay my burdens down
And let You comfort me

For all my pain
Oh... what a price You paid
You took it all for me
On the cross at Calvary

You're my healer
My redeemer
My Savior and my friend
Lord of glory
King of Heaven
The beginning and the end

Oh... what a friend

Verse 2
How I love You
And adore You
You're my joy and Prince of Peace
You filled my heart with gladness
And Your Spirit within me

So in the day
And in the night
When all I see looks dim
I know You're there
And how much You care
For Your enduring love
Will never have an end

Always gives me strength
To quench my doubts
And calm my storms and fears
I know You're always here
You truly are my friend

Oh yes, You are
Oh what a Friend

So... I come here, Lord
To give all I am to You
With all Your love and sacrifice
You gave all You are
For me

I heard Your cry that changed my heart
That finally brought me to my knees
It is finished... It is done
While forsaken
You cried out from that tree...

Yes... You're my healer
My redeemer
My Savvvvior and my friend
Lord of glory
Kingggg of Heaven
The beginning and the end

Oh, what a friend

Yes... I will say it again

Oh... what a friend

When I... think... of You
Tears... come... to my eyes
When I... think... of You
And the lovvvvve... I see

Every day...
My Lord... I pray
That... I...
Just... wanna be
A whole lot more... yes, just like You
When I think of You

When... I... think of You
And what You mean to me
How You laid down Your life
Just to set me free

Every day
My Lord... I pray
How much... I... wanna be
More and more
Just like You

Chorus
Now...
When I look inside
And I see
My sinful pride
My Lord, I cry
And I cry
And I cry
And I cry out
And... reach out
Forrrrrrr You

So when
I think of You
And... Your... sacrifice
Your... willing... sacrifice

Every day

Just to be
A whole lot more

[Verse 1]
It's been a long journey
On this winding road
Twisting and turning
Bended and bowed
Lots of aimless wandering
Many sleepless nights
Spiritual battles
Lots of fleshly fights

And I spent my inheritance
With greed and foolish pride
Filling up those spaces
Still empty inside

Hey, I left my father's house
To go it alone
But I've come to my senses now
I'm gonna turn around and go back home

[Guitar/Harmonica]

And I look down the road
He's coming to greet me
His arms open wide
He holds me so sweetly

They put a robe on my shoulders
And a ring on my hand
Shoes on my feet again
Next to my father I stand

Then he gives out directions
Kill that fatted calf
We'll throw my son a party
Best one we've ever had

[Chorus]
Oh, my father loves me
He calls me his own
He'd been watching and waiting
Always knew I'd come back home

[Verse 2]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like I used to be
I once was lost, but now I'm found
I was blind, but now I see

Oh, my father loves me
He calls me his own
He'd been watching and waiting
Always knew I'd come back home

Oh, how He loves me
He always knew that I'd come home

[Guitar / Breathing Harmonica, worshipping fade out]

You are
The Lord of my life

Jesus, You are

The Lord of my life

My King and my Master

I will love You forever
You're the Lord of my life

I worship You

In the morning when I wake
And all through my hurried day
In the nighttime
While I toss and turn
There's only one thing to say

Oh, how I worship You

You have shown me Your grace
So I fall upon my knees
And give thanks unto You
For every single trial
That You have walked me through

Because...

You are
The Lord of my life

Jesus, You are
The Lord of my life

Master, You are
The Lord of my life

Oh Mighty God

You are
The Lord of my life

I worship You

Through the years You have shown me
As I've put my trust in You
That I can walk by faith
Because You have seen me through

In sickness and in health
And no matter the circumstance
You have never failed me

So I will always say

You are
The Lord of my life

Yeshua, You are
The Lord of my life

You're my friend
That sticks closer than a brother
And You will always remain
The Lord of my life

I worship You

In the morning when I wake
And new mercies start my day
I will take Your yoke upon me
And let You lighten up my load

For You are the Prince of Peace
That brings rest unto my soul
And I will always proclaim that

You are
The Lord of my life

Jesus

The Lord of my life

My, my
Oh, how the time flies
Sittin' here talkin', Lord
Just You and I

Talkin' 'bout changin'
The changin' that I need
I need more of You, Lord
And a lot, lot less of me

More of You
And less of me

You must increase
And I must decrease

You came here, Lord
To set this world free

So more of You
Is what I need

Up high on the mountains
And deep down in the seas

Low in the valleys, Lord
Your love reigns

Cause You pour out forgiveness
Like a gentle rain
With mercy and grace
Washing over me

More of You
And less of me

You must increase
And I must decrease

You came here, Lord
To heal the pain

So more of You
Is what I need

Every time I stumble
Oh, every time I fall
You're right there
Through it all

You still walk beside me
And help me get through

And all I gotta do, Lord
Is not let go
And keep a hold onto You

So more of You
And less of me

You must increase
And I must decrease

You came here, Lord
So... I...
Could be free

So more of You
Is what I need

A lot, lot more of You
And a lot, lot less of me
Is what I need

That's what I need

Cause You've poured out
Your forgiveness
Like a soft and loving rain

With mercy and grace
That cleanses me...

More of You and less of me
That's all I need

Your forgiveness
Like a soft and loving rain

With mercy and grace
Cleansing all of me
All of me...

More of You and less of me
That's all I need

A lot, lot less of me
Less of me
Is what I need

They hung Him up
And they hung Him high
On Calvary

They hung Him up
And they hung Him high
For all to see

They made a sign
And they called Him
The King of Jews

He said, “Father, forgive them
For they know not what they do”

They took Him down
And they laid Him low
In a tomb of stone

Took Him down
And they laid Him low
All alone

And the guards
They stood outside that tomb

But when the morning came
You know
The rock had been removed

Jeeeeeesus, He rose up
Jeeeeeesus, He rose up
Jeeeeeesus, He rose up
And the promise was fulfilled

Mary and Mary
Went walkin' up the road

Mary Magdalene
Ran to that tomb of stone

And the angel told her
What to do

She went on back
And she told everybody
What she knew

She said:

Jeeeeeesus, He's alive
He is risen—He's alive
Jeeeeeesus, He's alive
And the promise was fulfilled

For forty days
He walked with them

Speaking about
The kingdom of God

He led them out
To Bethany

He raised His hands
Blessing them

And He ascended
Into Heaven

Two angels appeared
And proclaimed

He will return
He will return

Jeeeeeesus, He's alive
He rose up—He's alive
Jeeeeeesus, He's alive
And the promise was fulfilled

He rose up
He's alive

He is risen
He's alive

He's comin' back
He's alive

He will return
He is alive

The promise
Will be fulfilled

Verse 1 — The Bible Bunny
Now here's a little song about the Bible bunny
And all the other bunnies thought that this one was funny
'Cause she'd spend all day down by a stream
Just readin' her Bible, settin' on her knees

And then she'd hop
Hop for Jesus, she'd hop
Hop for Jesus, she'd hop
Hop for Jesus joyfully

Verse 2 — The Bible Dog
Now here's another song about the Bible dog
He'd spend all day just settin' by a log
Readin' his Bible, leanin' on that tree
And he'd start barkin' for Jesus joyfully

And he'd go, woof, woof, woof for Jesus
He'd go, woof, woof, woof for Jesus
He'd go, woof, woof, woof for Jesus joyfully

Instrumental turnaround

Verse 3 — The Bible Monkey
Now here's another song about the Bible monkey
And all the other monkeys thought this monkey was funky
'Cause she'd spend all day up in a tree
Just readin' her Bible, swingin' by her knees

And she'd go, ooh-ooh-ooh for Jesus
She'd go, ooh-ooh-ooh for Jesus
She'd go, ooh-ooh-ooh for Jesus joyfully

Verse 4 — The Bible Elephant
Now here's a big song about the Bible elephant
And all the other elephants thought he had no intelligence
'Cause he'd spend all day just blowin' his horn
He'd just toot it for Jesus from night till morn

And he'd go…
Children stop singing; deep adult voice imitates an elephant horn
TOOOOOOOOOOT! For Jesus

He'd go…
Deep adult voice
TOOOOOOOOOOT! For Jesus

He'd go…
Deep adult voice
TOOOOOOOOOOT! For Jesus joyfully

Verse 5 — The Good Part
Now here's the good part
The Bible dog and the Bible monkey
Got together with the elephant and the Bible bunny
They went downtown, they did a thing that was pleasin'

You know what they did?
Kids: “What?”
They read the Book of Romans and led a chicken to Jesus joyfully

Instrumental turnaround

Verse 6 — The Bible Chicken
Now here's the last song about the Bible chicken
And all the other chickens thought she'd taken a lickin'
'Cause when she came back to the old henhouse
She started bockin' about Jesus
'Cause she no longer had any doubt

And she'd go, bock, bock, bock for Jesus
And she'd go, bock, bock, bock for Jesus
And she'd go, bock, bock, bock for Jesus joyfully

Spoken
Hey, kids, do you know what Psalm 150 says?
It says, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Kids: “Praise the Lord!”

Hey, I got a great idea.
Let's go tell everyone about Jesus joyfully.
What do you think about that?
Kids: “Yeah, that's a good idea. Praise the Lord!”

Okay… let's go!

La da da da da

Oh, to be like You
And to love like You
That is all I wanna do

And to seek Your face
When I sing You praise
While I worship You
For the rest of my days

You bring me hope
When it seems there's none
'Cause You fill my heart
With Your unfailing love

And You calm my fears
In the midst of storms
As You take me through
Always faithful You are

Sometimes in the night
When I cannot sleep
I often feel
Like that one lost sheep

You are the Shepherd
Who leaves the ninety-nine
To pick me up
In Your strong and protective arms

To let me know
That all is fine

When I've been in the boat
Being tossed and turned about
And I cried for help
In all my doubt

You awoke from Your rest
Rose to Your feet
Rebuked the wind
And spoke to the sea

Your commanding words
With authority
“Peace, be still”

Oh, how those words
Also settled me

So when I am like You
I begin to love like You
For that is all
I ever wanted to do

I will always seek Your face
When I sing You praise
And worship You
For the rest of my days

And worship You
For all eternity

Worshiping You
Both night and day
Worshiping You
While I walk by faith

Worshiping You
Always knowing
That You will say

Peace, be still
Always, always, always
Peace, be still

You have compassion in Your eyes
And a love that never dies

You are risen
And You're alive
Come dwell within me

I give to You my life
Take this heart of mine
And soften it inside
Oh Lord, come change me

I wanna see
More like You see
Walking in love
Where You want me to

Give me a heart
For the hurting
For their pains
And for their needs

Jesus, give me eyes
To see
Like You see
Just like You see

You heal the sick
And heal the lame
Give sight to the blind
To see again

Open the ears
Of the deaf
And the mouth
Of the mute to speak

A man on a stretcher
Who gets up on his feet
Yes, his sins forgiven
Walks back to his house
Giving God all the praise

I wanna see
More like You see
Walking in love
Where You lead me to be

Give me a heart
For the hurting
Their pains
And their needs

Jesus, give me eyes
To see like You see
Just like You see

I wanna see
More like You
More like You

I wanna see
More like You
More like You
More like You see

Their pains and needs
Jesus, more like You see

You heal the sick
And heal the lame
Give sight to the blind
To see again

I wanna see
More like You see

Open the ears
Of the deaf
And the mouth
Of the mute to speak

I wanna see
More like You see

A man on a stretcher
Who gets up on his feet
Yes, his sins forgiven
Walks back to his house
Giving God all the praise

I wanna see more
Like You see

I wanna see
More like You
More like You

I wanna see
More like You
More like You
More like You see

Well, the guy down the street
He tries to avoid you
Ever since the day
You gave him the news
Told him of Jesus
And how He is coming
And you gave him a plan
To get on through

Every time that he sees you
And satan tries to tell you
That you’ve done wrong
You know the truth
So just believe it
Just let the Holy Spirit
Move you along

The love you have
For Jesus Christ
Who came to Earth
To seek and save you
He came to Earth

And you were never ashamed
To proclaim His name
