When I Reach That City

Robert Winsett - Johnson Oatman

Oh that city on Mount Zion
Though a pilgrim yet I love Thee still
I'll not leave Thee through the ages
When I reach that city on the hill

On the top of Mount Zion is a city
And the earth with its glory it doth fill
And I look upon its beauty in the morning
When I reach that city on the hill

Oh that city on Mount Zion...

So I'll stay here until my Saviur calls me
Tryin' daily to perform his will
And he'll say I'm to be well done up yonder
When I reach that city on the hill

Oh that city on Mount Zion...
When I reach that city on the hill

Rock Of Ages

(Rock of ages hide Thou me)

Oh Thou blessed rock of ages
I am trusting Lord in Thee
Keep me till my journey's ended
Till Thy blessed face I see

(Hide me oh blessed rock of ages
Hide me
Till Thy blessed face I see
Thy face I see oh glory)

When the storms around me regest
Rock of ages hide Thou me

(When my journey is completed
Is completed Savior
And there's no more work to do
No work to do oh blessed
Savior guide my weary spirit
Weary spirit in that
Happy land beyond the blue)

Hide me Thou blessed rock of ages
Till Thy blessed face I see
When the storms around me regest
Rock of ages hide Thou me

The Family Who Prays Never Shall Part

Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin

(The family who prays never shall part)

Satan has parted fathers and mothers
Filling their hearts with his envy and hate
Hitting their pathway down to destruction
Leaving their children like orphans to stray

The family who prays will never be parted
Their circle in heaven unbroken shall stand
God will say enter my good faithful servants
The family who prays never shall part

Wars and tornados are taking our loved ones
Leaving us tearful with sad aching hearts
But we shall join them over the river
Where the family who prays never shall part

The family who prays will never be parted...
(Never shall part)

My Last Two Tens

Vic McAlpin

(Going home going home
Tell all my friends that I'm going home)

If you should see me and I can't walk
Then if you should speak and I can't talk
Feel of me if I'm cold
There's a shovel in the car to dig the hole
No I don't expect this last favor for nothing
Cause I know you're a busy man my friend
So look on the end of the handle
You'll find attacked two tens
There's a phone number on the back of the shovel
Of a dear friend of days gone by
Call her and tell her to bring her sister
I've already gave them two tens to cry
The Lord's prayer's engraved on a penny
In the left pocket of my coat
I carry this with me for two reasons
The last so I never was broke
Oh I've had a lot of beautiful dreams
Of things that might have been
So please buy some pretty flowers
In my right pocket is my last two tens
I've made a little money in my time
But perhaps more than a lot of men
But I spent it all havin' a ball
With a few fairweather friends
But you know I brought nothin' with me to this old earth
Now that my journey ends
Me and this old world broke even
Since you have my last two tens

(Going home going home
Tell all my friends that I'm going home)

If We Never Meet Again

Albert E. Brumley

© Fly Away 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 separation comes no more)
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore

Oh they say we shall meet by the river
Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky
And they say we'll be happy in heaven
In the wonderful sweet by and by

(Where the charming roses bloom forever...

Good Morning Neighbor

Floyd Wilson

© Unichappell Music, BMI

(Good morning neighbor this gloomy day
Let's go to church I'm on my way
Gonna lose my sorrow and every care
Good morning neighbor I'll see you there)

Now all I've got to wear in this old blue surge suit
And boy it looks like a real hand me down
But when I get my Bible under my arm and I head down the road
Why I feel like I'm the Mayor of the town

(Good morning neighbor this gloomy day...

You see this old wrinkled hat why I keep it hangin' on a nail
It's about the funniest lookin' hat that I've ever seen
But when I get my Bible under my arm and I head down the road
Why I feel just like a new crowned King

(Good morning neighbor this gloomy day...

Now I ain't got no money to give in Sunday school today
I've looked under the rug and everywhere
But when I get my Bible under my arm and I head down the road
Why I feel just like a millionaire

(Good morning neighbor this gloomy day...

Trouble In The Amen Corner

Archie Campbell

© Tree Pub, BMI

(Rock of ages cleft for me)

It was a stylish congregation you could see they'd been around
And they had the biggest pipe organ of any church in town
But over in the Amen Corner of that church sat Brother Ayer
And he insisted every Sunday on singing in the choir
His voice was cracked and broken age had touched his vocal chords
And nearly every Sunday he'd get behind and miss the words
Well the choir got so flustered the church was told in fine
That Brother Ayer must stop his singing or the choir was gonna resign
So the pastor appointed a committee I think it was three or four
And they got in their big fine car and drove up to Ayer's door
They find the choir's great trouble sittin' there in an old arm chair
And the summer's golden sunbeams lay upon his snow white hair
Said York we're here dear brother with the vestries approbation
To discuss a little matter that affects the congregation
Now it seems that your voice has interfered with the choir
So if you'll just lay out are you listening Brother Ayer
The old man raised his head a sign that he had hear
And on his cheek the three men caught the glitter of a tear
His feeble hands pushed back the locks as white as silky snow
And he answered the committee in a voice both soft and low
I wonder if beyond the tide that's breaking at my feet
In that far off heavenly temple where my Master and I shall meet
Yes I wonder if when I try to sing the song of God up higher
I wonder if they'll kick me out of there for singing in heaven's choir
A silence filled the little room the old man bowed his head
The committee went on back to town but Brother Ayer was dead
The choir missed him for awhile but he was soon forgot
A few church goers watched the door but the old man entered not
Far away his voice is sweet and he sings his heart desire
Where are there are no church committees and no fashionable choirs

(Let me hide myself in Thee)

There's A Higher Power

Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

When burdens seem to overcome
There's a higher power
Who's able and refuses none
There's a higher power
Then why ask men to help you through
There's a higher power
They're helpless pilgrims just like you
There's a higher power

So sing and shout walk and talk
There's a higher power
Lay down your soul let Jesus fall
There's a higher power
Amen amen there's a higher power
Amen amen there's a higher power

(Oh go tell people lost in sin
There's a higher power
They need not fear the works of men
There's a higher power
Believe in him to rest on high
There's a higher power
Unless they do they'll surely die
There's a higher power)

So sing and shout walk and talk...
So sing and shout walk and talk...

I See A Bridge

Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

(I see a bridge a way to cross the River of Strife

I'm not smart I'm not strong many needs I called were wrong
And my heart is often drear when troubles appear
But when the night is dark and long oh how peaceful is the dawn
I see a bridge a way to cross the River of Strife
When the valley I must cross is so dark I lose my way
When the river is so wide I'd rather stay
I see a bridge straight and wide standing o'er the raging tide
I see a bridge a way to cross all trouble and strife

As I journey through this life its days and its nights
I know I must cross dark and lonely valleys
For at times the path is so dim I can hardly find my way
And great rivers of trials and tribulations
Will cross the narrow road that I feebly travel
But I will fear no danger for I'm never alone nor forsaken
With faith I shall look up and see a bridge
Yet there will always be a way provided for my escape

(When the valley I must cross is so dark I lose my way
When the river is so wide I'd rather stay
I see a bridge straight and wide standing o'er the raging tide
I see a bridge a way to cross all trouble and strife
Trouble and strife)

I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap

Don Reno - Charles Schroeder

© Fort Knox Music, BMI

(There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day)

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The Ten Commandments they tell me what to do
The twelve disciples are my road signs
And Jesus will take me safely through

(There'll be no detours in heaven...

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The children of Israel used it too
They crossed the Red Sea of destruction
For God was there to see them through

(There'll be no detours in heaven...

A House Of Gold

Hank Williams

© Fred Rose Music, BMI

Some people steal they'll cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
(But don't they know on the Judgement Day)
That gold and silver will melt away

I'd rather be in a deep dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
(Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and doom my soul)

(What good is gold and silver too
If your heart's not pure and true
Sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray)

I'd rather be in a deep dark grave...

Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus

Hazel Houser - Chester Smith

© Central Songs, BMI

Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're gettin' anxious to be in that happy home
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness

(Wait a little longer please Jesus
There are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in)

We may look into the skies and tears will fill our eyes
For our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day
First we cry oh Lord please come come and take your children home
But then we look around us and we say

(Wait a little longer please Jesus...

The family scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find a way
Then if waiting is the cost that they may not be lost
Lord that's the only reason why we say

(Wait a little longer please Jesus...
