De angel roll de stone awayDe angel roll de stone away
‘Twas on a bright an’ shiny morn
When de trumpet begin to soun’
De angel roll de stone away

Sister Mary came a-running at de break o’ day
Brought de news f’om heab’n
De stone done roll away
I’m a-lookin’ for my Saviour, tell me where He lay
High up on de mountain
De stone done roll away
De soljahs dere a-plenty, standin’ by de do’
But dey could not hinder
De stone done roll away
Ol’ Pilate an’his wise men didn’t know what to say
De miracle was on dem
De stone done roll away

Should I Tell Them
Words and Music by Shaun Groves

Walking with You is not without hazards
Tripping's this traveler's curse
The price paid for falling is more than my stumble
In a world that is watching and waiting for worst

But I listened when you said to go
And I set out in spite of my fears
I brought truth mixed with my imperfections
And the question of what to say when I got here
And now that I'm here

Chorus:
Should I tell them that You are
The One who has made me
And saved me to set up a home there inside
Should I tell them that I am
A perfect example of all You can do with a life
What should I say to them, what if I'm failing them?
What should I tell them tonight?

Don't get me wrong
I'm thankful to be here
With this song to sing and a spotlight on me
But lately I'm wondering if You are mistaken
If You're seeing all of me there is to see

But on every face I detect
These same questions I've posed to you



Like do You speak through the imperfect
Or are we too dirty for Your light to get through
I want You're light to get through

(chorus)

'Cause they're thirsty but my cup is empty
Come and meet me here in this place
'Cause I'm unashamed, and I'm unprepared
And I'm just plain afraid

My son sung this song with the BIG choir when he was 3... I smile everytime I hear it!

Refrain

Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

Refrain

The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior’s birth.

Refrain

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessèd Christmas morn.

O, de blin’ man stood on de road and cried

Cryin’ what kind o’ shoes am dose you wear

on the other hand..

this song was song at my first son's funeral. I cry everytime I hear it...


<center>AMAZING GRACE!

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

Purify My Heart-Brian Doerksen

Purify my heart
Let me be as gold
And precious silver
Purfy my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold.

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be....holy
Set apart for You, Lord
I choose to be...holy
Set apart for You my master
Ready to do Your will

Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within
And make me holy
Purity my heart
Cleanse me from my sin
Deep within

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be....holy
Set apart for You, Lord
I choose to be...holy
Set apart for You my master
Ready to do Your will

O, de ol’ ark’s a-movering, movering, movering
De ol’ ark’s movering and I’m going home

See dat sister all dressed so fine?
She ain’t got Jesus on her min’
See dat brother all dressed so gay?
O, death gwineter for to carry him away
See dat sister dere coming low?
She wants to go heab’n ‘fore de heab’n door close
‘Tain’t but one thing on-a my min’
My sister’s gone to heab’n an-a lef’-a me behin’

O, de ol’ ark’s movering, movering, movering
De ol’ ark’s movering and I’m goin’ home
O, de ol’ ark she reel, de ol’ ark she rock
De ol’ ark she landed on de mountain top
O, de ol’ ark’s movering, movering, movering
De ol’ ark’s movering and I’m goin’ home

From Christmas and Easter to lovely hymns of grace and songs of praise and prayers to our Lord...thanks for the great singing! I am inspired to join in...

Jesus, You're the center of my joy
All that's good and perfect comes form You
You're the heart of my contentment, hope for all I do
Jesus, You're the center of my joy!

Lord, let your light, light of Your face shine on us
Lord, let your light, light of Your face shine on us
That we may be saved
That we may have life
to find our way in the darkest night
Let Your light shine on us

Lord, let Your grace, grace from your hand fall on us
Lord, let Your grace, grace from Your hand fall on us
That we may be saved,

[Princess Michelle]

Jilly! You're singing late tonight! What a nice thing to "hear" before I head off to bed.

 

[Hemi-mom]

I hope you had a good night's sleep M'shelley, Boochelley! Now...get up and sing because it's MORNING!!!!!

<font size=4>Let the heavens rejoice
Let the earth be glad
Let the people of God
Sing His praise
All over the land
Everyone in the valley
Come and lift your voice
All those on the mountaintop be glad
Shout for joy

Rise up and praise Him
He deserves our love
Rise up and praise Him
Worship the Holy One
With all your heart
With all your soul
With all your might
Rise up and praise Him</font>

 

[Hemi-mom]

And now for those of us who had trouble getting up today because we were up too late last night...

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart I want to see
You, I want to see You

To see You high and lifted up
shining the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and Love
as we sing Holy Holy Holy

Holy, Holy Holy,
Holy, Holy Holy,
Holy, Holy Holy,
I want to see You

 

[stamper]

Jilly,

I would be in that last category! Love that song...I need to have my heart's eyes opened so I can see the way I need to go in sooooo many areas of life - things seem a bit cloudy at the moment!

Robin, I love Amazing Grace...both the song and the gift of grace that God gives every day!!

another song form downhere:

L A R G E R T H A N L I F E
Proverbs 27:17

Walk this life beneath the stars
Contemplate just who we are
Against the backdrop of knowing God

Seasons pass, they come and go
But one thing keeps its worth in gold
A timeless bond, sharing dreams we hold

CHORUS

It's larger than life, it's larger than we
It's bigger than you, it's bigger than me
It's larger than life

There's something here that tells me so
I was not made to walk alone
It sharpens me to know we stand as one

Will our lives reflect the Maker
Of the sky we're living under
It changes all to know You're really there
When the space between us falls apart
You're the bridge that spans our hearts

You're larger than life, You're larger than we
Who's bigger than You? You're bigger than me
Larger than life

Deep river, my home is over Jordan
Deep river,
Lord, I want to cross over into campground
Lord, I want to cross over into campground
Lord, I want to cross over into campground
Lord, I want to cross over into campground

Oh, chillun
Oh, don’t you want to go, to that gospel feast
That promised land, that land where all is
peace?
Walk into heaven, and take a seat
And cast my crown at Jesus feet

Lord, I want to cross over into campground
Lord, I want to cross over into campground
Lord, I want to cross over into campground
Lord, I want to cross over into campground

 

[SPAGo 98]

How you gonna reckon with a God like this?
When you gonna face what you can't dismiss?
Whatcha gonna say to the … soul kiss that is my God?
Fearsome like the sag in a fat man's chair?
Sweeter than a patch of Rogaine hair?
How do you define what you can't compare?
This is … my God
And there's no use explaining what can't be contained
I'm not following a God I can lead around
I can't tame this Deity
That's why Jesus is the final answer
To who I want my God to be
He's who (I want my God to be)

How you gonna reckon with a God this great?
Why you wanna measure what you can't equate?
Whatcha gonna say to the … check mate that is my God?
Stronger than the burn of an aftershave?
Tender as a burger in your microwave
Rarer than the air in an empty grave
This is … my God
And there's no use explaining what can't be contained

How we gonna work this out?
To fabricate a God like this no doubt
We'd end up worshipping a Christ of our own design
But Jesus doesn't fit that profile
His ways aren't mine

I'm not following a God that's imagined
Can't invent His deity
That's why Jesus is the final answer
To who I want my God to be
He's who I want my God to be

De Lawd, He thoughtHe’d make a man
Dese bones gwine rise again
Made ‘im outa mud an’ a han’ful o’ san
Dese bones gwine to rise again

I knowed it
Indeed I knowed it, brother
I knowed it
Dese bones gwine to rise again

Thought He’d ake a woman too
Didn’t know exactly what to do

Took a rib om Adam’ side
Made Miss Eve for to be his bride


Put um in a garden fine and fair
Tole um to eat whatever was dere

But to one tree they mus’ not go
Must leave de apples dere to grow

Sarpint quoiled around a chink
At Miss Eve his eye he wunk

First she took a little pull
Then she filled an apron full

Adam took a little slice
Smack his lips an’ say ‘twas nice

De Lord He spoke with a ‘ponstruous voice
Shook de world to its very jois’

“Stole my apples, I believe”
“No, Marse Lord; I ‘spec’ it was Eve”

“Out of this garden you must git
Earn you’ livin’ by yo’ sweat”

He put an angel at de do’
Tol’ um never come dere no more

Of this tale there is no mo’
Eve et’te apple and Adam de co’.

Dey crucified my Lord
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Dey crucified my Lord
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Not a word, not a word, not a word
Dey nailed Him to the tree
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Dey nailed Him to the tree
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Not a word, not a word, not a word

Dey pierced Him in the side
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Dey pierced Him in the side
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Not a word, not a word, not a word

De blood came tricklin’ down
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
De blood came tricklin’ down
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Not a word, not a word, not a word

He bowed His head an’ died
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
He bowed His head an’ died
An’ He never said a mumblin’ word
Not a word, not a word, not a word

Nice to see some infrequent visitors here. Very nice Robin, CRB and Hes.

Walking in the Light

When the clouds cover up your heart
and the darkness appears before the rain starts
Though the hors turn to may days
The hope that soon it will pass is what you embrace
For the clouds will rain in a season
Healing drops to wash the hurt away
And the sun will give in its perfect time
A revelation of a brand new day

Take heart this time
Know everything will be alright
Rest assured as soon as the morning comes
We'll go walkin', walkin' in the light
We'll go walkin', walkin' in the light.

Now it seems having been here before
One would know by now when to yield the floor
To the One who created time and space
Knowing sometimes the message is simply to wait
For our faith is not what could happen
Or the evidence of what we can't see
But hope is what you can still hold to
Never letting go of what you believe

repeat chorus

Should you ever need someone just call me
It's no a question if I'm here for you
I'm right by your side
Through the test of time

--Steve Crawford & Tommy Sims
