HAND IN HAND WITH JESUS
(Johnson Oatman - L.D. Huffstutler)
« © '62 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
Once from my poor sin sick soul Christ did every burden roll
Now I walk redeemed and whole hand in hand with Jesus
Hand in hand we walk each day hand in hand along the way
Walking thus I cannot stray hand in hand with Jesus
[ organ ]
When the stars are backward mode and his home I shall behold
I will walk those streets of gold hand in hand with Jesus
Hand in hand we walk each day...
Hand in hand with Jesus

IT'S DIFFERENT NOW
(D. Beatty)
« © '66 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
Once I was lost in sin I had no peace within
To save my weary soul I knew not how
But Jesus came to me and by his grace I'm free
Now it's different oh so different now
It's different now since Jesus saved my soul
It's different now since Jesus made me whole
Ole Satan had to flee when Jesus rescued me
Now it's different oh so different now
[ guitar ]
Now my hopes are bright I praise him day and night
How he could change me so I know not how
But praise the Lord it's done the vict'ry now is won
Now it's different oh so different now
It's different now since Jesus saved my soul...
It's different now since Jesus saved my soul...
It's different now since Jesus saved my soul...

DO YOU KNOW MY JESUS
(W.F. Lakey - V.B. Ellis)
« © '63 Bridge Building Music, BMI / Singspiration Music, ASCAP »
Have you a heart that's weary tending a load of care
Are you a soul that's seeking rest from the burden you bear
Do you know my Jesus do you know my friend
Have you heard he loves you and that he will abide till the end
[ piano ]
Who knows your disappointments who hears each time you cry
Who understands your heartaches who drys the tears from your eyes
Do you know my Jesus...
Have you heard he loves you and that he will abide till the end

NO TEARS IN HEAVEN
(Robert S. Arnold)
« © '52 National Music, BMI / Texas Legendary Music, BMI / Eric Zokoski Music, BMI »
No tears in heaven no sorrows given
All will be glory in that land
There'll be no sadness all will be gladness
When we shall join that happy band
No tears (in heaven bear) no tears (no tears up there)
Sorrow and pain will all have blown
No tears (in heaven bear) no tears (no tears up there)
No tears in heaven will be known
[ steel ]
Glory is waiting waiting up yonder
Where we shall spend an endless day
There with our Saviour we'll be forever
Where no more sorrow can dismay
No tears (in heaven bear) no tears (no tears up there)...
No tears in heaven will be known

WHO AM I
(Charles Goodman)
« © '61 Playin TAG Music, ASCAP »
When I think of how he came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace on Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself a question who am I
Who am I that the King would bleed and die for
Who am I that he would pray not my will line for
The answer I may never know why he ever loved me so
But to that old rugged cross he'd go for who am I
[ steel ]
When I'm reminded of his words I'll leave him never
Just be true I'll give to you a life forever
I wonder what I could have done to deserve God's only son
Fight my battles till they're won who am I
Who am I that the King would bleed and die for...

(Pearl D. Jones)
« © '57 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
My latest sun is sinking fast my race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past my triump has began
Oh come angel band come and around me stand
Oh bear me away on your snowy wings to my imortal home
Oh bear me away on your snowy wings to my imortal home
Oh bear my longing heart to him who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleances from all sin and gives me victory
Oh come angel band...

PRECIOUS MEMORIES
(J.B. Wright)
« © '25 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
Precious mem'ries unseen angels sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me and the sacred past unfolds
Precious mem'ries how they linger how they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight precious sacred seemed unfold
Precious father loving mother fly across the lonely years
And the old home scene of my childhood in fond memory appears
Precious mem'ries how they linger...

I'LL MEET YOU IN THE MORNING
(Albert E. Brumley)
« © '58 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
I'll meet you in the morning by the bright riverside
When all sorrow has drifted away
I'll be standing at the portals when the gates open wide
At the close of life's long dreary day
I'll meet you in the morning with a how do you do
And we'll sit down by the river and with rapture old aquaintance renew
You'll know me in the morning by the smile that I wear
When I meet you in the morning in the city that's built four square
I will meet you in the morning at the end of the way
On the streets of that city of gold
Where we all can be together and be happy always
While the years and the ages shall roll
I'll meet you in the morning with a how do you do...

CHILD OF THE KING
(Cindy Walker)
« © '61 Oree Music, BMI »
Once I was clothed in the rags of my sin
Wretched and poor lost and lonely within
But with wonderous compassion the King of all Kings
In pity and love took me under his wing
Oh yes oh yes I'm a child of the King
His royal blood now flows in my veins
And I who was wretched and poor now can sing
Praise God Praise God I'm a child of the King
[ guitar ]
Now I'm a child with a heavenly home
My holy father has made me his own
And I am cleansed by his blood and I'm clothed in his love
And someday I'll sing with the angels above
Oh yes oh yes I'm a child of the King...

WHISPERING HOPE
(Alice Hawthorne - Alton Howard)
« © '51 Howard Publishing, BMI »
Soft as a voice of an angel breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion whispers a comforting word
Wait till the darkness is over wait till the tempest is done
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow after the shower is gone
Whispering hope oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart any sorrow rejoice
[ steel ]
Whispering hope oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart any sorrow rejoice

HOW BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN MUST BE
(A.P. Bland - A.S. Bridgewater)
« © '52 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
How beautiful heaven must be
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 sweet home of the happy and free
Fair heaven of rest for the weary how beautiful heaven must be
[ guitar ]
In heaven no drooping or pining no wishing for elsewhere to be
God's light is forever there shining how beautiful heaven must be
How beautiful heaven must be...

I WON'T HAVE TO CROSS JORDAN ALONE
(Thomas Ramsey - Charles E. Durham)
« © '51 Broadman Press, BMI »
When I come to the river at ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting to show me the way
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see he'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
[ piano ]
Often times I'm forsaken and weary and sad
When it seems that my friends have all gone
There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart glad
I won't have to cross Jordan alone
I won't have to cross Jordan alone...
