HIS HAND IN MINE

(Mosie Lister) « © '60 WB Music, ASCAP »
You may ask me how I know my Lord is real
You may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel
But I know he's real today he'll always be
I can feel his hand in mine and that's enough for me

I will never walk alone he holds my hands
He will guide each step I take and if I fall I know he'll understand
Till the day he tells me why he loves me so
I can feel his hand in mine that's all I need to know

I will never walk alone...
(I can feel his hand in mine that's all I need to know)
I can feel his hand in mine that's all I need to know

(Cully Hold) « © '60 Ben Speer Music, SESAC »
I'm gonna walk walk them golden stairs
Cause I know my Jesus answers all my prayers
Well I know when he calls me to my home up high
I'll walk them golden stairs when I die when I die

Oh Lord you know how can you call me when
To reach that suite by by by by my love
But now I see those purple holy gates
I'll walk them golden stairs when I die when I die

Oh well I'm gonna walk walk them golden stairs...

When Jesus says to me well done and all my cares are lied by
I'll lay down my soul my battles are won
I'll walk them golden stairs when I die when I die

Oh well I'm gonna walk walk them golden stairs...
Oh well I'm gonna walk walk them golden stairs...

IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE (ARE MANY MANSIONS)

(arr. Elvis Presley) « © '58 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
In my father's house are many mansions
If it were not true he would have told me so
He has gone away to live in that bright city
He's preparing me a mansion there I know

Jesus died upon the cross to bear my sorrow
Freely died that souls like you might have new life
But I know that soon will come a bright tomorrow
When the world all be free from sin and strife

(Do not shun the Saviour's love from up in glory
Or you won't be there to sing the gospel story)
In my father's house are many mansions
If you're true then to this land you'll surely go

KNOWN ONLY TO HIM

(Stuart Hamblen) « © '58 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
Known only to him are the great hidden secrets
I'll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim
I know not what the future holds but I know who holds the future
It's a secret known only to him

In this world of fear and doubt on my knees I ask the question
Why a lonely heavy cross I must bear
Then he tells me in my prayer it's because I am trust worthy
He gives me strenght far more than my share

Known only to him...
(Only to him) **********

I BELIEVE IN THE MAN IN THE SKY

(Richard Howard) « © '60 Anne Rachel Music, ASCAP »
(The steps that lead to any church form a stairway to a star
They're part of God and should be trod more often than they are)

I believe in the man in the sky I believe with his help I'll get by
My footsteps may falter my eyes may grow dim
But he's my Gibralter I'm trusting in him
Though a sparrow is all I may be on me he will still keep an eye
Yes I'm singing his praise till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky

(Though a sparrow is all I may be on me he will still keep an eye)
Yes I'm singing his praise till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky

JOSHUA FIT THE BATTLE OF JERICHO

(arr. Elvis Presley) « © '58 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls come tumbling down
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls come tumbling down

Good morning Sister Mary good morning Brother John
Well I wanna stop and talk with you wanna tell you how I come along
I know you've heard about Joshua he was the son of none
He never stopped his work until until the work was done

God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho...

You may talk about your men of Gideon you may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua at the battle of Jericho
Up to the walls of Jericho he marched with spear in hand
Go blow tham ram horns Joshua cried cause the battle is in my hands

God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho...

You may talk about your men of Gideon you may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua at the battle of Jericho

They tell me great God that Joshua's was well nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword and his mouth was a gospel horn
Yet bold and brave he stood salvation in his hand
Go blow tham ram horns Joshua cried cause the devil can't do you no harm

God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho...

Up to the walls of Jericho he marched with spear in hand
Go blow tham ram horns Joshua cried cause the battle is in my hands

Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound old Joshua shouted Glory
And the walls come tumblin' down

God knows that Joshua fit the battle of Jericho...
(Down down down down down) tumbling down

HE KNOWS JUST WHAT I NEED

(Mosie Lister) « © '56 Mosie Lister Songs, BMI »
My Jesus knows when I am lonely
He knows each pain he sees each care
He understands each lonely heartache
He understands because he cares

My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes he knows just what I need
He satisfies in every need so fine
Yes he knows just what I need

My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes he knows just what I need
(He satisfies in every need so fine)
Yes he knows just what I need

SWING DOWN SWEET CHARIOT

(arr. Elvis Presley) « © '58 Cherry River Music, BMI / Chrysalis Songs, BMI »
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord rock me Lord calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side
Well weel well well

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot...

Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot...

Ezekiel went down and he got on board
Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular bout the bumpin' of the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot...

Well I got a father in the promised land
Ain't no more stoppin' still I shake his hand
Rock me Lord rock me Lord calm and easy
Well I've got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot...

MANSION OVER THE HILLTOP

(Ira P. Stanphill) « © '51 Singspiration Music, ASCAP »
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on the streets that are purets gold

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of a city
I want a mansion a harp and a crown

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop...

IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN

(Albert E. Brumley) « © '58 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps we'll never meet anymore
Till we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore

If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life

Where the charming roses bloom forever
And where seperations come no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore
