When the Saints Go Marching In



We are trav'ling in the footsteps, Of those who've gone before, And we'll all be reunited, On a new and sunlit shore.


Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in.

And when the sun refuse to shine, And when the sun refuse to shine, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the sun refuse to shine.

And when the moon turns red with blood, And when the moon turns red with blood, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the moon turns red with blood.

Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call, Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the trumpet sounds its call.

Some say this world of trouble, Is the only one we need, But I'm waiting for that morning, When the new world is revealed.

Oh, when the saints go marching in, Oh, when the saints go marching in, Lord, how I want to be in that number, When the saints go marching in.

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,

Long Black Train

There's a long black train, Comin' down the line, Feedin' off the souls that are lost and cryin', Rails of sin, only evil remains, Watch out brother for that Long Black Train.

Look to the heavens You can look to the skies, You can find redemption staring back into your eyes; There is protection and there's Peace the same,burnin' your ticket for that Long Black Train.

'Cause there's vict'ry in the Lord I say, Vict'ry in the Lord. Cling to the Father and His holy name, And don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train.

There's an engineer on that Long Black Train, Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain, He's just a waiting on your heart to say; Let me ride on that Long Black Train.

But you know there's vict'ry in the Lord I say, Vict'ry in the Lord. Cling to the Father and His holy name, And don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train.

Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away, It sounds so good. But I must stay away. That train is a beauty, makin' everybody stare, But its only destination is the middle of nowhere.

But you know theres vict'ry in the Lord I say, Vict'ry in the Lord. Cling to the Father and His holy name, And don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train.

I said cling to the Father and His holy name, And don't go ridin' on that long black train.

Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train. That Devil's a drivin' that long black train.

James 4:7 ... Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1 Corinthians 15:57 ... But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.❤

When He Was On The Cross ~ I Was On His Mind

✞✞✞

There's no one great among us, We're nothing on our own;
We make mistakes we often slip, Just common flesh and bones.
I know I'll prove just what I say, I’m of a special kind;
When He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

A look of love was on His face, And the thorns on His head;
The blood that stained His scarlet robe, It stained it a crimson red.
I know His eyes were on the crowd that day, Yet He looked ahead in time;
When He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

He knew me, yet He loved me, He whose glory makes the heavens shine.
Unworthy of such mercy; When He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

When He was on the cross, I was on His mind.

[Written by: R. Hinson and M. Payne]




Isaiah 53:4-6 ... Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. ❤

Jesus is on the Mainline

Jesus is on the main line, tell Him what you want. Just call Him up and tell Him what you want.

If you need your sins forgiven ~ tell Him what you want.
If you want salvation ~ tell Him what you want.

If you're sick and you can't get well ~ tell Him what you want.

His line is never busy, tell Him what you want. Call Him; call Him; tell Him what you want. Jesus is on the main line, tell Him what you want. Just call Him up and tell Him what You want!

Put Your Hand in the Hand



Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Gallilee

Everytime I look into the Holy Book I wanna tremble
When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple
For the buyers and the sellers were no different fella's than what I professed to be
And it causes me shame to know I'm not the gal that I should be

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Gallilee

Mama taught me how to pray before I reached the age of seven
And when I'm down on my knees, that's when I'm close to heaven
Daddy lived his life for two kids and a wife, but you do what you must do
But he showed me enough of what it takes to get me through

Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself and you can look at others differently
By puttin' your hand in the hand of the man from Gallilee

What A Day That Will Be

There is coming a day,
When no heart aches shall come,
No more clouds in the sky,
No more tears to dim the eye,
All is peace forever more,
On that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be,
When my Jesus I shall see,
When I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand,
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

There'll be no sorrow there,
No more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain,
No more parting over there;
And forever I will be,
With the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

[written by: James Hill]

Revelation 7:17 ... For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. ♥

Somebody Touched the Lord

My soul was sick and dying bound in sin and shame, Somebody called upon the Lord until sweet redemption came. Somebody held me up to God, when I was feeling down, And I'm so glad that somebody prayed so I can sing it now.

Somebody got another prayer through, somebody touched the Lord, Somebody just touched Heaven for another need once more. Somebody prayed until the Spirit came, somebody called on Jesus name, Somebody knocked upon Heaven's door, somebody touched the Lord.

When I needed healing I felt too low to pray, Somebody interceded and soon the healing came. Now help me Lord to pray for those who stand in need of prayer, And let it be said just once more, somebody touched the Lord.

Somebody got another prayer through, somebody touched the Lord, Somebody just touched Heaven for another need once more. Somebody prayed until the Spirit came, somebody called on Jesus name, Somebody knocked upon Heaven's door, somebody touched the Lord.

James 5:16 … Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Matthew 9:21-22 … For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Mark 10:51-52 … And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Luke 17:17-19 … And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole. ♥

I Believe in the Blessed Hope, the Book and the Blood



I believe that there was a man named Jonah that lived in the belly of a whale, I believe that there is a beautiful heaven, I believe there is burning hell. I believe that Moses led God's children all across the hot sand, And when they came to the sea God parted the waters and they walked across on dry land.

I believe in the Blessed Hope, the Book and the Blood, And there is no other way. Jesus is the Son of God and he's coming back someday. The Holy Spirit dwells within us, The Heavenly Father is above, I believe in the Blessed Hope, I believe in the Book and the Blood.

I believe that Mary was virgin when she heard that Jesus was on His way, I believe if you'll look inside the lowly manger, you'll see God laying in the hay. I believe that Jesus died and was buried and rose up on the third day, I believe that the trumpet's gonna sound so loud, God's children will be called away.

I believe in the Blessed Hope, the Book and the Blood, And there is no other way. Jesus is the Son of God and he's coming back someday. The Holy Spirit dwells within us, The Heavenly Father is above, I believe in the Blessed Hope, I believe in the Book and the Blood.

Titus 2:13 … Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; ♥

I Want To Be Ready When Jesus Comes

I want to be ready when Jesus comes. I want to be ready when Jesus comes.

One day the Lord’s gonna crack the sky, And the dead in Christ shall rise;

I want to be ready when Jesus comes.

No man knows the day or the hour when the Lord will surely come,

That’s why you need to get your house in order, Don’t let Him catch you with your work undone;

You’ve got to get ready, oh yes, when Jesus comes.

I want to be ready when Jesus comes.

[sung by: Dottie Peoples]



Matthew 24:42-44 … Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

2 Peter 3:14 … Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Luke 21:36 … Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Revelation 19:7 … Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. ♥

The Lighthouse

There's a Lighthouse on the hillside that overlooks life's sea. When I'm tossed it sends out a light that I might see. And the light that shines in the darkness, now will safely lead us o'er. If it wasn't for the lighthouse, that ship would be no more.


Everybody that lives around me says, tear that lighthouse down. The big ships don't sail this way anymore, there's no use of it standing 'round. Then my mind goes back to that stormy night, when just in time I saw the light. Yes, the light from that old lighthouse, that stands up there on the hill.


And I thank God for the Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him. For Jesus is the Lighthouse, and from the rocks of sin; He has shone a light around me, that I can clearly see. If it wasn't for the Lighthouse, where would this ship be?'

[written by: Ronnie Hinson]


John 8:12 … Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.


1 John 1:7 … But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.


Psalm 36:9 … For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. ♥

Sacrifice of Praise

When you're up against a wall, and your mountain seems so tall, And you realize that life's not always fair, You can run away and hide, Let the old man decide, Or you can change your circumstances with a prayer.

When everything falls apart --- Praise His name! When you have a broken heart --- Raise your hands and say: "Lord, You're all I need. You're everything to me," And He'll take the pain away.

When it seems you're all alone --- Praise His name! When you feel you can’t go on --- Raise your hands and say: "Greater is He that is within me." And you can praise the hurt away.

If you'll just praise His name! You can overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of your testimony. You'll see the darkness go, as your faith begins to grow, You're not alone, so how can you be lonely?

When everything falls apart --- Praise His name! When you have a broken heart --- Raise your hands and say: "Lord, You're all I need, You're everything to me." And He'll take the pain away.

When it seems you're all alone --- Praise His name! When you feel you can’t go on ---Raise your hands and say: "Greater is He that is within me." And you can praise the hurt away.

[sung by: Jeff and Sheri Easter]
