I BELIEVE

(Ervin Drake - Jimmy Shirl - Irvin Graham - Al Stillman) « © '56 Gentleman Jim Music, ASCAP »
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows
And I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way
Yes I believe oh I believe

I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard
And I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word
Every time I hear a new born baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

Every time I hear a new born baby cry...
I believe oh I believe

YES I SEE GOD

(Dorothy Jo Hope) « © '70 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Yes I see God where the mountains reach the sky
And I see God when the eagle starts to fly
I see God in a little baby's smile
I see God and he makes my life worthwhile

Yes I see God when the bridegroom meets his bride
I see God in a father's loving eyes
I see God when a mother starts to cry
I see God in a love that never dies

(I see God) where the people meet to pray
(I see God) in the things they do and say
(I see God) when the little children play
I see God and I know he's near all way
I see God yes I see God

HEAVEN'S JUST A PRAYER AWAY

(Tommy Tomlinson) « © '68 Warden Music, BMI »
If you're tryin' to reach heaven
You talk to Jesus you talk to him every day
Cause Jesus knows he knows that you are coming
And heaven's just a prayer away

And if you go if you go to church on Sunday
You get down on your knees and pray
And give your heart and your soul to Jesus
Heaven's just a prayer away

You are just one prayer from heaven
As you travel down life's highway
That's when you think oh that you can make it well
Heaven's just a prayer away

And if you go if you go to church on Sunday
You get down on your knees and pray
And give your heart and give your soul to Jesus
Heaven's just yeah heaven's just a prayer away
Heaven's just yeah heaven's just a prayer away away

GOLDEN STREETS OF GLORY

(Dolly Parton) « © '70 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Glory to his name oh holy holy

There's a city where the streets're paved with gold
A land where the milk and honey flow
And a mansion which for me cause my Bible tells the story
I just hope my feet're clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory

Green meadows where the little children play
No sorrow there just one long happy day
And none will litter there except the pure and the holy
I just hope my feet're clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory

And when I've reached my journey's end
And if I'm worthy to go in
The golden streets of glory I walk on
And the golden streets of my new home
Will lead me up to the Master's throne
With the angel band I'll sing glory to his name oh holy holy
I just hope my feet're clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory
Hallelujah I just hope my feet're clean enough
To walk upon the golden streets of glory
[ guitar ] And when I've reached my journey's end...

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

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

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

I'LL KEEP CLIMBING

(Dorothy Jo Hope) « © '70 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
As I travel life's pathway to that city beyond
I find the way so narrow and my strenght almost gone
Then I cry oh Lord have mercy please don't leave me all alone
Cause somehow I've got to make it make heaven my home

I'll keep climbing I'll keep climbing till I make it my home
And I'll soon be with Jesus round the great white throne
Though the way may seem rugged Lord I must travel on
I'll keep climbing I'll keep climbing till I make heaven my home

My friends they forsake me my companions are few
I'll keep my eyes toward heaven no matter what others do
I'll keep my mind upon Jesus for his way I will choose
Soon I'll reach heaven's portal seems it's almost in view

I'll keep climbing I'll keep climbing...
I'll keep climbing I'll keep climbing...
Make heaven my home

BOOK OF LIFE

(Jake Robert Owens) « © '70 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Is my name written there on those pages bright and fair
Is my name written in the book of life
If you want to be up there then down here you must prepare
And your name must be in the book of life

Get down on your knees and pray you from sin must turn away
Or your name won't be in the book of life
If you'll turn to Jesus now at his feet just humbly bow
Then your name will be in the book of life
[ piano ] Don't you know that Christ was sent that from sin you could repent
So your name could be in the book of life
You will have a great surprise if you fell to recognize
That your name must be in the book of life

Get down on your knees and pray you from sin must turn away
Or your name won't be in the book of life
Don't delay and don't forget that from sin you could repent
Then your name will be in the book of life
Is my name written in the book of life

WINGS OF A DOVE

(Bob Ferguson) « © '59 Husky Music, BMI / Larrick Music, BMI »
When troubles surround us when evils come
The body grows weak and the spirit grows numb
When these things beset us God doesn't forget us
He sends us his love on the wings of a dove

On the wings of a snow white dove he sends his pure sweet love
A sign from above on the wings of a dove
[ guitar ] When Jesus went down to the river that day
Well he was baptized in the usual way
And when it was done God blessed his son
He sent him his love on the wings of a dove

On the wings of a snow white dove...
On the wings of a snow white dove...

LORD HOLD MY HAND

(Dolly Parton - Ginny Dean) « © '70 Velvet Apple Music, BMI »
Hold my hand let's not lose my way hold my hand and lead me home
Guide each step that I might take hold my hand and keep me strong

And let the path I walk be straight let the deeds I do be kind
Let me never hesitate to help my brother walking blind

Hold my hand let's not lose my way...

And let my words have meaning of anything that I might speak
If you see me leaning on just hold my hand and straighten me

Hold my hand let's not lose my way...
Amen
