HOW GREAT THOU ART

(Stuart K. Hine) « © '53 Manna Music, ASCAP »
[ Kitty ] 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 power 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
[ piano ] When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart
Then I will bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great Thou art

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

WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO SHINE

(Fred Rose) « © '58 Milene Music, ASCAP »
[ Johnny ] (Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine)
Pull yourself together and keep waiting for the sign
Wait for the light to shine

When the road is rocky and you're carrying a load
Wait for the light to shine
If you find you're friendless on that weary lonesome road
Wait for the light to shine

Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine...
[ piano ] Don't forget your brother as you travel through the land
Wait for the light to shine
He may be in trouble and may need a helping hand
Wait for the light to shine

Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine...
[ steel ] If your life is empty and you're on your last go round
Wait for the light to shine
If you hear the chime bells on the highway you have found
Wait for the light to shine

Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine...
Wait for the light to shine

MY BIBLE

(C. Phillips) « © '72 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
[ Kitty ] There's a book I hold more precious than anything on earth
No wealth of gold or jewels are equal to its worth
I go to it in trouble when my heart is sick and sore
I always find the comfort my soul is searching for

The Bible is the written word the living word is he
My Bible and my Saviour are all the same to me
The more I read the more I know he cares and understands
And when I read my Bible my Saviour holds my hand
[ guitar ] The Bible is the best for me its teachings are so true
And when I searched with open mind it tells me what to do
And when I'm sad and lonely it always gives me rest
Of all the other books I find my Bible is the best
The Bible is the written word

DID YOU LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

(Tommy Collins - Tommy Helm) « © '57 Central Songs, BMI »
[ Johnny ] When you told that man about Jesus and his precious love
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
Or was it just a matter of a bunch of empty words
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

Well don't you try to give it away if you don't have it yourself
Cause if your spirit is poverty stricken you can't give away such wealth
You must see clearly for you know the blind can't lead the blind
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
[ guitar ] Well action always speaks much louder than your words will sound
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
Or did you act out all you preach to make it really count
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

Well don't you try to give it away if you don't have it yourself...

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine
This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine
This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

HEAVEN WILL BE MY HOME

(A.B. Phillips) « © '72 Cedarwood Publishing, BMI »
[ Kitty ] Heaven will be my home some sweet day
Oh Lord don't let me fall by the way
Heaven will be my home some sweet day
Hold to my hand oh Lord don't let me stray

So many times the way was so dark
So dark I couldn't see my way
But I called on Jesus and he came right away
I'm holdin' to his precious love for he has made me see

Heaven will be my home some sweet day...

The burdens here on earth in this old world
Are sometimes so hard to bear
But keep your eyes on Jesus cause he is always there
I want to live in heaven with God some sweet day

Heaven will be my home some sweet day...
Hold to my hand oh Lord don't let me stray

JESUS TAKE A HOLD

(Merle Haggard) « © '71 Tree Publishing, BMI »
[ Johnny ] Like the ancient Roman empire this world is doomed to fall
And it's much too big a thing for mortal men
Just take a look around and see the writing on the wall
Somehow we've got to find a helping hand

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in
And people scorn the things our leaders do
It's time a prayer was spoken from the heart of ev'ry man
Jesus take a hold and lead us through
[ guitar ] The mighty roar of gunfire is now a local sound
And our city streets are filled with angry men
Love is now a mockery throughout our troubled land
And destruction seems to be the current trend

This world has never been in the awful shape it's in
And our leaders seem in doubt of what to do
It's time the prayer was spoken from the heart of every man
Jesus take a hold and lead us through
Jesus take a hold and lead us through

GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE CLOUDS

(Andrew Jenkins - Irene Spain) « © '31 Mosie Lister Songs, BMI »
[ Johnny ] When God shut Noah in the grand old ark
He put a rainbow in the cloud
When the thunders roll and the skies was dark
God put a rainbow in the clouds

God put a rainbow in the clouds
(God put a rainbow in the clouds)
Well it looked like the sun wouldn't shine anymore
God put a rainbow in the clouds
[ steel ] Away down yonder in Egypt's sand
God put a rainbow in the clouds
Just to lead his children to the promised land
God put a rainbow in the clouds

God put a rainbow in the clouds...
[ guitar ] When they put ole Daniel in the lion's den
God put a rainbow in the clouds
Just to prove his promise to the sons of men
God put a rainbow in the clouds

God put a rainbow in the clouds...

PRECIOUS MEMORIES

(J.B.F. Wright) « © '25 Bridge Building Music, BMI »
[ Kitty ] Precious mem'ries unseen angels sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me and the sacred past unfold

Precious mem'ries how they linger how they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight precious sacred scenes unfold

Precious father loving mother fly across the lonely years
And olE home scenes of my childhood in fond memory appearS

Precious mem'ries how they linger...

THERE'S A BIG WHEEL

(Don Gibson) « © '64 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
[ Johnny ] There's a big wheel there's a big wheel
He's a whole lot bigger than you
There's a big wheel there's a big wheel
He's a whole lot bigger than me

When you think you've got the world by the tail
And you don't have to worry bout a thing
When you think the world can never hold you down
Do you ever think of his name

There's a big wheel there's a big wheel...
[ steel ] Do you ever stop to think
How you got that worldly fame
Don't you know he's watching over you
Anytime he can blot out your name

There's a big wheel there's a big wheel...
[ piano ] If you think that you're a big big shot
And everthing you do is a whiz
Just remember brother that everthing you've got
Is not yours remember it's his

There's a big wheel there's a big wheel...
He's a whole lot bigger than me

SINGING HIS PRAISE

(J.R. Owens) « © '72 Writer Share, PD »
[ Kitty ] Since my soul has been redeemed and from sin I am made clean
I'm singing his praise along the way
From my sins he set me free when I'm sad he comforts me
I'm singin' his praise along the way

(Happy his praise I gladly sing serving him now my Saviour king)
Oh hallelujah I'm singin' his praise along the way
[ vibes ] Come my friends and go with me someday soon my Lord I'll see
I'm singin' his praise along the way
If you call on God today he will not turn you away
I'm singing his praise along the way

(Happy his praise I gladly sing serving him now my Saviour king...
[ guitar ] While down here on earth below I keep singin' as I go
I'm singin' his praise along the way
When life here for me shall end up in heaven it'll just begin
I'm singin' his praise along the way

(Happy his praise I gladly sing serving him now my Saviour king...
I'm singin' his praise along the way

WE OWE GOD FOR EVERYTHING

(Jim Anglin) « © '72 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
[ Johnny ] God created the flowers and trees the little birds that we hear sing
The mountains high and the mighty seas we owe God for ev'rything

God walks these beutiful hills with me he's by my side sunshine or rain
Creating beauty for all to see we owe God for ev'rything

God creates the flowers and trees the little birds that we hear sing...
[ guitar ] God loves the poor and rich alike bringing comfort in sorrow and pain
He always helps us to see the light we owe God for ev'rything

God creates the flowers and trees the little birds that we hear sing...
We owe God for ev'rything
