KING IS COMING

(Bill Gaither - Gloria Gaither - Charley Millhoff) « © '71 Gaither Music, ASCAP »
The market place is empty no more traffic in the streets
All the builders tools are silent no more time to harvest wheat
Busy housewives cease their labors in the courtroom no debate
Work on earth is all suspended as the King comes through the gate

Oh the King is coming the King is coming
I just heard the trumpets sounding and now his face I see
Oh the King is coming the King is coming praise God he's coming for me

Happy faces line the hallways those whose lives have been redeemed
Broken homes e has mended those from prison he has freed
Little children and the aged hand in hand stand all aglow
Who were crippled broken ruined dressed in garments white as snow

I can hear the chariots rumble I can see the marching throng
The flurry of God's trumpets spells the end of sin and wrong
Regal robes are now unfolding heaven's grandstand's all in place
Heaven's choir is now assembled start to sing Amazing Grace

Oh the King is coming the King is coming...
Oh the King is coming the King is coming...
(He's coming for me)

MY TESTIMONY

(Wanda Jackson) « © '71 Party Time Music, BMI »
As the choir sang pass me not oh gentle Saviour
Something stabbed me like a sword
He was calling walk with me
But I couldn't walk I had to run to meet my Lord

Well I couldn't walk I had to run to meet my Lord
He's been patiently waiting at my door
Jesus wanted me free from sin the devil in me would let him in
But I finally couldn't walk I had to run to meet my Lord

As the choir sang (softly and tenderly Jesus is calling)
I was crying tears of joy
Then my Saviour smiled on me
Now my heart is singing singing singing for my Lord

Well I couldn't walk I had to run...
Praise God I couldn't walk I had to run to meet my Lord

DIDN'T HE SHINE

(Bob McDill - Allen Reynolds) « © '71 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
To a world of fear and darkness came a light as bright as day
With a song of love and words of kindness he came to show the way
Oh his face was not recorded but the color of his skin
But his words wrote down upon the darkness and touched the hearts of men

All the people called him Jesus he was the man for all time
Just a simple man called Jesus but didn't he love didn't he shine

Let his light come brightly shining let it shine on you and me
Let it wash away all fear and sorrow let it set us free

All the people called him Jesus...
Didn't he shine didn't he shine didn't he shine
Didn't he shine didn't he shine didn't he shine
Didn't he shine didn't he shine didn't he shine

HE GIVES US ALL HIS LOVE

(Randy Newman) « © '71 Unart Catalog, BMI »
He gives us all his love he gives us all his love
He's smiling down on us from up above he gives us all his love

He know how hard we're tryin' he hears the baby cryin'
He sees all those dyin' he gives us all his love

He gives us all his love...

And if you need someone to talk to you can always talk to him
If you need someone to lean on you can lean on him

He gives us all his love...
He gives us all his love...
He gives us all his love...
He gives us all his love...

PEOPLE GOTTA BE LOVING

(Yvonne Devaney) « © '71 Party Time Music, BMI »
People gotta be loving people gotta be free
People gotta live together in peace harmony

Man can climb a mountain sail an ocean blue
Man can do about anything he sets his mind to do
Man can send an orchid to the moon above
But man's got a long long way to go when it comes to love

People gotta be loving people gotta be free...

In this world of trouble this world with love and hate
There's always room for little more love and a whole lot less of fate
People gotta get together this evil to erase
The world all together was made for good and common race

People gotta be loving people gotta be free...

(People gotta be loving people gotta be loving
People gotta be loving people gotta be free
People gotta live together in peace harmony)

Yeah listen people (people gotta be loving)
Well I'm saying (people gotta be free)
Live together (people gotta be loving) in peace harmony

HOW GREAT THOU ART

(Stuart K. Hine) « © '53 Manna Music, ASCAP »
Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars I hear the rolling thunder
Thy art throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art how great Thou art

And when I think that God his Son not sparing
Sent him to die I scarce can take it in
That on the cross my burdens gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home what joy will fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art

Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee...

AM I NOT MY BROTHER'S KEEPER

(Kenny O'Dell - Larry Henley) « © '71 Warner House Of Music, BMI »
If he comes to me stumbling from the weigh of his load
Shouldn't I let him just fall down on his place in the road
Shouldn't I hold out my hand tell me what kind of friend I'd be
If I didn't care

Am I not my brother's keeper am I not my brother's friend
If I'm not my brother's keeper who will look out after him

Is it just too old fashioned out of step with the time
To show some compassion for no reason nor rhyme
Are we too big to cry did it hurt if we try
To show a little love sometime

Am I not my brother's keeper...
Am I not my brother's keeper...

OH HAPPY DAY

(Edwin R. Hawkins - Philip Doddridge - Edward Rimbault) « © '69 U Catalog, ASCAP »
Oh happy day oh happy day
When Jesus washed oh when he washed
My Jesus washed he washed my sins away
Oh happy day oh happy day oh happy happy day
When Jesus washed don't you know he he washed
Yes my Jesus washed he washed my sins away
Oh happy day

(He taught me how to watch watch and pray watch and pray
And he'll rejoice and he'll rejoice in things we say things we say)

Oh happy day oh happy day...

(He taught me how to watch...
Oh happy day oh happy day...

HE'S THE MAN

(Wendell Goodman - Walter Schutz) « © '71 Party Time Music, BMI »
(He's the man who can set you free)

There's a man you need to know that can clear your scared soul
He's the man who walked on the see
He's the man filled with love that was sent from God above
He's the man who can set you free

He's my Jesus he's your Jesus
He's the man who died for you and me
He's my Jesus he's your Jesus
He's the man that holds eternity
(He's the man who can set you free)

He's the answer you meet today he will show you the way
He's the man with everything to give
He's the man to pray to he will show you what to do
He's the only perfect man that ever lived

He's my Jesus he's your Jesus...
He's the man that holds eternity

BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

(Julia Ward Howe - John Wilson Steffe) « © '57 Dalton Music, BMI »
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He's trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightening of his terrible swift sword
Our God is marching on

Glory glory hallelujah glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah his truth is marching on

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me
As he died to make men holy let us die to make men free
While God is marching on

Glory glory hallelujah...
Glory glory hallelujah...
Glory glory hallelujah...
