Where No One Stands Alone

Mosie Lister

© Lillenas Pub, SESAC

Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
In my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me

(Hold my hand all the way every hour every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand let me stand
Where no one stands alone)

Like a king I may live here in a palace so tall
With great great riches to call my own
But Lord hold my hand cause I don't know a thing in this whole wide world
That's worse than being all alone

(Hold my hand all the way every hour every day...

Rank Strangers

Anne Bybee

© Warden Music, BMI

I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me

(Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad not a friend could I see
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me)
[ instrumental ]
They've all moved away said the voice of a stranger
To a beautiful home by the bright crystal sea
Some beautiful day I'll meet them in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me

(Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger...

You're Not Home Yet

Hank Cochran

© Pamper Music, BMI

(You're not home you're not home you're not home yet
I can still hear my Lord's voice ringing
There'll be a crowd to greet you a choir of angels to meet you)

If you've got two or three minutes I'd like to tell you a story
It's a story about a preacher
But this story I wanna tell you is about a particular preacher
Who went over seas to fight a war
Now this is a war forgot and not for any country
And he fought a long long time and he won a lot of souls
But finally this preacher got old and he was coming home
He just happened to be on the same ship with someone who we call a famous celebry
When the boat docked there were thousands there to meet the celebrity
And they carried him off of his shoulders
But you there wasn't no one there to meet the preacher
And he looked into the heavens and said God did you forget
And it seemed like the heavens broke open
And he said no son I didn't forget but you must remember that you're not home yet

(You're not home you're not home you're not home yet...
I didn't forget but son you're not home yet

Lord Build Me A Cabin In Glory

Curtis Stewart

© Stamps Quartet Music, SESAC

I have many dear loved ones who've gone on their way
On that great final morning well I hear them all say
Come and join in our singing and play in our band
Lord build me a cabin in a corner of Gloryland

Lord build me just a cabin in a corner of Gloryland
In the shade of the tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I could just hear the angels sing and shake Jesus hand
Lord build me just a cabin in a corner of Gloryland

(Lord build me a cabin in a corner of Gloryland...
Lord build me just a cabin in a corner of Gloryland

There'd Be No Need For A Heaven

Lorene Mann

© Novachaminjo Music, BMI

Have you ever noticed when things were going right something just gotta go wrong
And you don't understand why this must be
But when there's a lotta joy there's gotta be sorrow to make things come out even
Cause this old world is a perfect place there'd be no need for a heaven

(There'd be no need for a heaven if you have heaven below
And when your life was over here you have no place to go)
If things would be like you wanna them be on earth
You wouldn't have to die and leave 'em
If this old world was a perfect place there'd be no need for a heaven
[ instrumental ]
If you're living in a house that you really love then your neighbors are bad
But that reminds you not to trust in earthly joy
And it makes you wanna live in that heavenly home but there'll be peace forever
If this old world was a perfect place there'd be no need for a heaven

(There'd be no need for a heaven if you have heaven below...
If this old world was a perfect place there'd be no need for a heaven

Where The Soul Never Dies

William Golden - Robert Winsett

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

(Where all his love and the soul of man never dies)

To Canaan's land I'm on my way where the soul never dies
My darkest night will turn to day where the soul never dies

No sad farewell no tear dimmed eyes
Where all his love and the soul never dies
And I will spend eternity where the soul never dies

A rose is blooming there for me where the soul never dies
(A rose's blooming there for me where the soul of man never dies
And I shall spend eternity where the soul of man never dies)

No sad farewell no tear dimmed eyes...
[ instrumental ]
I'm on my way to that fair land where the soul never dies
Where there will be no parting hand and the soul never dies

No sad farewell no tear dimmed eyes...

Beautiful Wings

Mel Tillis

© Cedarwood Pub, BMI

Beautiful wings mother must wear
For I know she's with angels somewhere up above
Great white wings with a halo so fair
I know she's in glory sweet mother dear love

(Precious mem'ries how they linger)
All through the valley that she loved so well
Her flowers her Bible and a church in the dell
And the stories of Jesus that she used to tell
(In the stillness of the sunset) we miss her the most around suppertime
She'd call for the blessings and we each say a line
All those mem'ries that she left behind

Beautiful wings mother must wear...

God Walks These Hills With Me

Vic McAlpin - Marvin Hughes

© Music City Songs, BMI

We all have treasures we call our own
Mine are these hills I call my home
Just let me live till eternity
In these hills God walks with me

Yes he walks these hills these beautiful hills
Where my soul is always free
What a comfort to know I'm never alone
For God walks these hills with me
Yes God walks these hills with me

Yes he walks these hills these beautiful hills...

Tell Your Children (The Day Of Wrath)

E.J. Carter

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

(Tell your children and your children's children
Of the second coming of the King
He will stand upon the Mount of olives
Salvation to a dying world to bring)

Glory the trumpet of Zion our Lord is coming back to earth again
In the holy mountain sound the warning to the ones who wear the yoke of sin

(Tell your children and your children's children...

Now Daniel prophesied in all his wisdom if we fail to walk the righteous path
It will be too late to beg for mercy at the dawning of the day of wrath

(So tell your children and your children's children...

God's Wonderful Way

Paul Kapp

© Writer Share, PD

One Saturday night in a barroom a gospel singer walked in
And bravely she red from the Bible and begged them to turn from the sins
Oh come into Jesus she pleaded he'll be your step in the rock
When one of the drinkers said to her (why I don't believe in your God)

The silence that followed was awful the others just stood there in fear
But the drunk just kept laughin' and sayin' why doesn't your Jesus appear
Then one of the others who stood there said that's enough of that now
What lead you to think that Lord Jesus would bother with you anyhow

Why you're only a bum and a drunker and nothin' that you can say
Would reach up to God in heaven ans make him go out of his way
And then came the voice of a stranger who stood just outside at the door
The stranger who simply was passing by for no one had seen him before

Oh listen to me all you people the place lit up as he smiled
Our Lord marks the fall of a sparrow and every man is his child
There's none so great or so lowly that God's sweet mercy denies
And even the ones who denounce him will never be lost in his eyes

And then he lifted his right hand and smiled up on everyone
And the last words he said were like music I know because I am his son
Now each who was there will remember those words to his very last day
When Jesus appeared in a barroom and told the God's wonderful way

I'll Fly Away

Albert E. Brumley

© A.E. Brumley And Sons, SESAC

Some glad morning when this life is o'er I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh Glory I'll fly away
When I'll die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

(When the shadows of this life have gone I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown I'll fly away)
I'll fly away oh Glory I'll fly away
When I'll die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away
[ instrumental ]
Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away
To a land where joy will never end I'll fly away
I'll fly away oh Glory I'll fly away
When I'll die hallelujah by and by I'll fly away

Thirty Pieces Of Silver

Odell McLeod

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

It's a sad but true story from the Bible it came
And it tells us how Judas solved the Saviour in shame
He planed with the counsel of high priest that day
Thirty pieces of silver was the price they would pay

(Thirty pieces of silver thirty shekels of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus on the cross he was slain
Betrayed and forsaken unloved and unclaimed
In anger they pierced him but he died not in vain)

Twas there on the hilllside the multitude came
And found our dear Savior then took him away
They smote him and they mocked him torn the crown round his head
And his rainment of purple showed the blood stains of red

Far off in the mountain with face toward the sun
Judas begged for mercy for what he had done
He gave back the silver for his heart filled with strife
And there in the mountain he took his own life

(Thirty pieces of silver thirty shekels of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus on the cross he was slain)
