Soldier Of The Cross

Peter Rowan

Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate

And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
When he comes down only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell

He's a stranger in this valley where many a men met his grave
And the voices in the silence sing of the life he can save

But the river runs deep and the river is wide
How you gonna get to the other side
Pendulum swing only you can tell
You gotta let them choice heaven or hell
[ instrumental ]
And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
Living on the line only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell

Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love you bring love
You bring love you bring love
You bring love you bring love

Voice From On High

Bill Monroe - Bessie Mauldin

© Unichappell Music, BMI

I hear a voice calling it must be our Lord
It's coming from heaven on high
I hear a voice calling I've gained a reward
For the land where we never shall die

The saviour has paid a great price for me
He gave his life on calvary
So follow his footsteps up the narrow way
And be ready to meet him when calls on that day

I hear a voice calling it must be our Lord...

He died on the cross the old rugged cross
There we would safe from sin and not lost
So follow his footsteps up the narrow way
That'll pay my debt on the great judgement day

I hear a voice calling it must be our Lord...

Darkest Hour Is Just Before The Dawn

Ralph Stanley

© Fort Knox Music, BMI

The sun is slowly sinking the day is almost gone
Still darkness falls around us and we must journey on

The darkest hour is just before dawn the narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul let Jesus in the darkest hour is just before dawn
[ instrumental ]
Like a shepherd out on the mountain watchin' the sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us will you be ready to go

The darkest hour is just before dawn...
The darkest hour is just before dawn

Gone Home

Bill Carlisle

All of my friends that I loved yesterday
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
The songbirds that sing in the dell seem to say
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)

They've joined the heavenly fold
They're walkinf the streets of pure gold
They've left one by one as their work here was done
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
[ instrumental ]
Life here is lonely since they've gone before
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
The old weeping willow that stands by the door sadly sighs
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)

They've joined the heavenly fold...
[ instrumental ]
The trumpet will sound on that great judgment day
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
We'll see all our friends who have gone on that way
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)

They've joined the heavenly fold...

Joshua Generation

Geoff Thurman - Becky Thurman - Lynn Drysdale

© Seventh Son Music, ASCAP

We are dying in a desert desolation
With springs of living water just ahead
Hungering and thirsting for refreshment
When on the other side is heaven's bread

Running through the valley is a river
And we can almost taste the sweetness of its peace
All we have to do is take possession
For God's provision there will never cease
God's provision there will never cease

We are the Joshua generation
Let's rise up and take a stand
Claiming the keys to every kingdom
We can go in and take the land
We are the Joshua generation
The power of God is in our hands

Oh no longer beggars at this nation's table
We are children in a kingdom of our own
We will not be touched by human forces
Because we bow before another throne
We boldly bow before another throne

We are the Joshua generation...
We are the Joshua generation...

The power of God is in our hands

We are the Joshua generation...

Waiting At The Gate

Paul Brewster

© PolyGram Int, ASCAP

I'm waiting at the gate looking for my ride
Soon to take me to my home on high
Angel bands a coming from the other side
I don't want to be late I'm waiting at the gate

I can hear the thunder the time's at hand
Joybells are ringing in the promised land
Jesus is a coming my soul to take
Yes my Lord sees me waiting at the gate
[ instrumental ]
I'm a leaving this world no more to do
All of my work on earth is through
I've fought the fight I've kept the faith
Well I'm ready to go I'm waiting at the gate

I can hear the thunder the time's at hand...
[ instrumental ]
I can hear the thunder the time's at hand...

Seven Hillsides

Walt Wilkins - Naoise Sheridan

© Window Music, BMI

All night I've wrestled Jacob's angels and prayed with Matthew Luke and John
Struggling to find the words to face the task that comes upon the blood red dawn
I've buried men before their time of alcohol and blackened lung
But how to bury seven of these Appalachian miners sons
Who stormed the beaches wave on wave and sailed home to these rocky graves
In family plots that bared their names

Tomorrow I'll walk up seven hillsides
Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides
Seven sorrows seven sons seven mothers and every one
Will turn to me for the word of God what does this mean
And there I'll stand good book in hand a shepherd to these precious lambs
What will I say what will I say what can I say

To tell the truth I'd never thought much about the will of God before
Called to preach at seventeen I was in love with fiery words and not much more
The time has come to keep the faith for others shattered by their loss
Remind them of the loving God whose son like theirs paid the cost
To save a sad and wicked world through sacrifice our love is heard
And pray that I believe those words

Tomorrow I'll walk up seven hillsides...

Are You Afraid To Die

Charlie Louvin - Ira Louvin - Eddie Hill

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

Are you a stranger to God carried away with your pride
Tell me sinner do you ever step to think are you afraid to die
Are you afraid are you unsaved are you afraid to die
[ instrumental ]
Call on him while he is near moments are swift passing by
Will you seek him while he still may be found are you afraid to die
Are you afraid are you unsaved are you afraid to die
[ instrumental ]
Are you too wicked to cry would you to God's bosom fly
Soon he's coming like a thief in the night are you afraid to die
Are you afraid are you unsaved are you afraid to die
Are you afraid are you unsaved are you afraid to die

Remember The Cross

Bill Monroe - Howard Watts

© Unichappell Music, BMI

Do you think of the cross on which Jesus died
Of the blood he shed for you
Are you prepared to meet him in that land of love
By His word are you going to abide

Remember the cross on which Jesus died
Follow in his footsteps each day
He shed his blood for you and he shed his blood for me
Never cast that cross aside
[ instrumental ]
Never let other people lead you astray
Teach his words to them if you can
They must think of the cross on which Jesus died
And get ready to meet him someday

Remember the cross on which Jesus died...
[ instrumental ]
When Jesus comes down from heaven above
And you haven't thought of that cross
He'll cast you aside in the twinkling of an eye
And you won't see his blessed home of love

Remember the cross on which Jesus died...

Traditional

Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Ooh sometimes it causes me to tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
[ instrumental ]
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Ooh sometimes it causes me to tremble
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb

Were you there when he rose up from the grave
Were you there when he rose up from the grave
Ooh sometimes it causes me to tremble
Were you there when he rose up from the grave

Jacob's Vision

Traditional

© Public Domain, PD

Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree
To raise up this ladder of mercy for me
Press onward climb upward the top is in view
There's a crown of right glory awaiting for you

As Jacob was traveling was weary one day
At night on a stone for a pillow did lay
A vision of fear for a ladder so high
It stood on the ground but the top reached the sky

Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree...

This ladder was tall but yet so well made
Stood thousands of years and never decayed
It went from the heavens it reeled and it rocked
But the angels they guard it from the bottom to top

Hallelujah to Jesus who died on the tree...

I'm Ready To Go

William York

© Starday Music, BMI

Hallelujah I'm ready
I can hear the voices singing soft and low
Hallelujah I'm ready hallelujah I'm ready to go
[ instrumental ]
In the darkness of night not a star was in sight
On a highway that leads down below
Then Jesus came in and saved my soul from sin
Hallelujah I'm ready to go

Hallelujah I'm ready...
[ instrumental ]
Sinners don't wait before it's too late
He's a wonderful Saviour you know
Well I fell on my knees when I answered my pleas
Hallelujah I'm ready to go

Hallelujah I'm ready...
[ instrumental ]
Hallelujah I'm ready...
Hallelujah I'm ready...

Lead Me To The Rock

Traditional

© Public Domain, PD

In seasons of grief
To my Lord I'll repair
When my heart is overwhelmed
With its sorrows and cares

To the ends of the earth
To my God I will fly
Lead me to the rock
That is higher than I

Higher than I higher than I
Lead me to the rock
That is higher than I

When Satan the tempter
Rolls in with a flood
To drown my poor soul
From its fountain of good

I will cling to the Savior
Who humbly did die
Lead me to the Rock
That is higher than I

Higher than I higher than I...
