Old Brush Arbors

(Old brush arbors by the side of the road)

I remember them so clearly mom and dad loved them so dearly
Old brush arbors by the side of the road
Where I learned about salvation from the book of revelations
In an arbor by the side of the road

Old brush arbors by the side of the road
Where a sinner could lay down his heavy load
It was in those old brush arbors troubled souls found peaceful harbors
Brush arbors by the side of the road
[ fiddle ]
Many times I have departed from the way of life I started
In an arbor by the side of the road
But each time the devil's caught me I remembered what they taught me
In brush arbors by the side of the road

Old brush arbors by the side of the road
Where the mighty light of God's great mercy fload
There was praying shoutin' singing till the country side was ringing
Old brush arbors by the side of the road

Will There Be Any Stars In My Crown

George Jones - Jimmy Sweeney - Edmond Hewitt

I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down
By the wonderful grace of my Savior I stand
Will there be any stars in my crown

Will there be any stars any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down
Will I wake with the blest in the mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown

In the strength of the Lord let me labor in praise
Let me watch as a winner of soul
That the stars may be mine in the glorious day
When his praise like the sea billows roll

Will there be any stars any stars in my crown...
[ steel ]
Oh what joy it will be when his face I behold
Living gems at his feet to lay down
It would sweeten my bliss in that city of gold
Will there be any stars in my crown

Will there be any stars any stars in my crown...

Leaning On The Everlasting Arm

Elisha Hoffman - Anthony Showalter

What a fellowship what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Oh how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Oh how bright the path grows from day to day
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning leaning...
[ guitar ]
What have I to dread what have I to fear
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning leaning...

Won't It Be Wonderful There

George Jones

© Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI

When with the Savior we enter the glory land
Won't it be wonderful there
Ended the troubles and cares of the story land
Won't it be wonderful there

Won't it be wonderful there
Having no burdens to bear
Joyously singing with heartbells a ringing
Won't it be wonderful there
[ guitar ]
Walking and talking with Christ the supernal one
Won't it be wonderful there
Praising adoring the matchless eternal one
Won't it be wonderful there

Won't it be wonderful there...
[ guitar ]
There where the tempest will never be sweeping us
Won't it be wonderful there
Sure that forever the Lord will be keeping us
Won't it be wonderful there

Won't it be wonderful there...

Lord You've Been Mighty Good To Me

Earl Montgomery

(Lord you've been mighty good to me)

Yes a boll weevil he lives in my cotton
The big river flooded out my corn in the bottom
Talk about a man with troubles I've got 'em
But you've been mighty good to me
Lord you've been mighty good to me

My barn burned down and it was nearly new
A rat must of knawed the wires in two
But don't get me wrong I'm not fussing at you
For you've been mighty good to me
Lord you've been mighty good to me

Lord you've been mighty good to me
You've led me keep my family
To me you never have been rude
You keep my table filled with food
And I thank you every night and day
Cause I don't enough I should say
Lord you've been mighty good to me

My best horse fell and broke both hind legs
Why chickens I have they won't lay any eggs
But you know Lord I never borrow or beg
For you've been mighty good to me
Lord you've been mighty good to me.

(Lord, you've been mighty good to me
You've led me keep my family
To me you never have been rude
You keep my table filled with food)

My best horse fell and broke both hind legs...

You've been mighty good to me
Lord you've been mighty good to me

Selfishness In Man

Leon Payne

I saw a little beam of sunlight steal across a purple sky
And bend down to kiss a rosebud oh it made me wanna cry
To think that I had been permitted to see a part of nature's plan
Oh there's nothing that stands out more than the selfishness in man

Little children painting pictures of the birds and apple trees
Oh why can't the grown up people he the faith of one of these
And to think those tiny fingers might become a killer's hand
Oh there's nothing that stands out more than the selfishness in man

Oh why can't we see the folly and the uselessness of hate
Love could lead to understanding maybe it's not too late
Then perhaps in his great wisdom he might learn to understand
Then there'd be no shame or sorrow and no selfishness in man

I'll Fly Away

Albert E. Brumley

© Gods Music, ASCAP / Paragon Music, ASCAP

Well some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

Oh I'll fly away oh Glory I'll fly away
When I'll die hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away

When the shadow of this life has grown
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown
I'll fly away

Oh I'll fly away oh Glory I'll fly away...
[ guitar ]
Well just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away

Oh I'll fly away oh Glory I'll fly away...
Oh I'll fly away oh Glory I'll fly away...

Where We'll Never Grow Old

James Moore

© Edward B Marks Music, BMI

I have heard of a land on the faraway strand
Tis a beautiful home of the soul
Built by Jesus on high where we never shall die
Tis a land where we'll never grow old

Never grow old never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old
[ steel ]
When our work here is done and the life's crown is won
And our troubles and trials are o'er
All our sorrow will end and our voices will blend
With the loved ones who've gone on before

Never grow old never grow old...

If You Believe

Darrell Edwards

© Glad Music, BMI / Pappy Daily Music, BMI

(Life's supreme reward receive if you believe)

Oh the promise of tomorrow will banish all your sorrow
No need to grieve if you believe
There will be a brighter future and a way prepared to suit your every need
If you believe

If you believe so will it be
It's true for you it's true for me
Somewhere down that narrow road he'll relieve your heavy load
Life's supreme reward receive if you believe

If your life is not inspiring and your days are long and tiring
Rest receive when you believe
Nothing here below can measure up to heaven's lasting treasure
Be not deceived only believe

If you believe so will it be...

Lily Of The Valley

Traditional

© Peer Music, BMI

I have found a friend in Jesus he's everything to me
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
The lily of the valley in him alone I see
All my needs to cleanse and make me fully whole

In sorrow he's my comfort in trouble he's my stay
He tells me every care on him to roll
He's the lily of the valley the bright and morning star
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
[ piano ]
He will never never leave me nor yet forsake me here
While I live by faith and do his blessed will
A wall of fire about me I've nothing now to fear
With his manna he my hungry soul shall fill

Then sweeping up to glory to see his blessed face
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll
He's the lily of the valley the bright and morning star
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul

How Beautiful Heaven Must Be

A.P. Bland - A.S. Bridgewater

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

We read of a place that's called heaven
It's made for the pure and the free
These truths in God's Word He hath given
How beautiful heaven must be

How beautiful heaven must be must be
Sweet home of the happy and free
Fair heaven of rest for the weary
How beautiful heaven must be

In heaven no drooping nor pining
No wishing for elsewhere to be
God's light is forever there shining
How beautiful heaven must be

How beautiful heaven must be must be...
[ piano ]
The angels so sweetly are singing
Up there by the beautiful sea
Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing
How beautiful must be

How beautiful heaven must be must be...

Well It's All Right

Cindy Walker

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Well it's all right (it's all right)
It's all right (it's all right)
Long as I've got my Lord beside me well it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold
Long as he's a watchin' o'er my soul
Long as everything's in his control
Well it's all right

Moses said it's all right
When the chariots of Pharoh followed them in their flight
While the sea divided in two
Moses and the children walked right through
Through a wall of water on their left and on their right

Well it's all right (it's all right)...
[ guitar ]
Well David said it's all right
When Goliath mocked him and he challenged him to a fight
Little David said a prayer and then
Slung a little stone and done him in
And the people said amen and praised the almighty's might

Well it's all right (it's all right)...
[ guitar ]
Daniel said it's all right
When they threw him in the lion's den that awful night
While the hungry lion's walked about
Daniel said Lord please help me out
And the Lord has shut the lion's mouth and he shut it tight

Well it's all right (it's all right)...
