THE RIVER OF JORDAN

THE RIVER OF JORDAN

To the River of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John the Baptist met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters
The mighty power of God filled the air.

I'm on my way to the River of Jordan
Gonna wade right in to the rushing waters
I'm going down to the River of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul.

King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elisha said to Naaman ''Go dip yourself in Jordan
And let the cool waters wash your spots away.''

So he went right down to the River Of Jordan
He waded right in the rushing waters
He dipped himself in the River of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole.

Oh, the River of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
And my River of Jordan that will be...

JESUS HOLD MY HAND

JESUS, HOLD MY HAND 
by: Albert E. Brumley 


1. As I travel through this pilgrim land there is a Friend who goes with me. 
Leads me safely thro' the sinking sand, it is the Christ of Calvary. 
This would be my pray'r, dear Lord, each day to help me do the best I can, 
For I need Thy light to guide me day and night, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. 
CHORUS: 

Je-------sus, hold my hand, I need Thee ev'ry hour, 
(Blessed Jesus, hold my hand) (Yes, I need Thee ev'ry hour) 
Thru this pilgrim land Protect my by Thy pow'r. 
(Thru this land, this pilgrim land ----By Thy saving pow'r.) 
Hear my feeble plea, O Lord, look down on me. 
(Hear my plea, my feeble plea, Lord, dear Lord, Look down on me) 
When I kneel in pray'r I hope to meet you there, 
(When I kneel in prayer) 
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. 

2. Let me travel in the light divine that I may see the blessed way; 
Keep me that I may be wholly Thine and sing redemption's song some day. 
I will be a soldier brave and true and ever firmly take a stand, 
As I onward go and daily meet the foe, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. 

CHORUS: 

3. When I wander thru the valley dim toward the setting of the sun, 
Lead me safely to a land of rest if I a crown of life have won; 
I have put my faith in Thee, dear Lord, that I may reach the golden strand, 
There's no other Friend on whom I can depend, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand. 

CHORUS:

A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS

A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS

O a little talk with Jesus make it right, all right
Little talk with Jesus make it right, all right
Troubles of ev’ry kind
Hank God I’ll always find
That little talk with Jesus make it right.

My brother, I remember when I was a sinner lost
I cried, “Have mercy, Jesus”
But still my soul was tossed
Till I heard King Jesus say,
“Come here, I’m on the way”
And little talk with Jesus make it right.

Sometimes the fork lightning and muttering thunder, too
Of trials and temptations
Make it hard for me and you
But Jesus was a friend,
He’ll keep us to the end
And little talk with Jesus make it right.

My brother and my sister, you have trials like me
When we are trying to serve the Lord
And win the victory
Old Satan fight us hard
Our journey to retard
But little talk with Jesus make it right.

DO YOU KNOW MY JESUS

DO YOU KNOW MY JESUS

Have you a heart that's weary 
Tending a load of care 
Are you a soul that's seeking rest 
From the burden you bear? 

Do you know my Jesus 
Do you know my friend 
Have you heard he loves you 
And that he will abide till the end? 

--- Instrumental --- 

Who knows your disappointments 
Who hears each time you cry 
Who understands your heartaches 
Who drys the tears from your eyes. 

Do you know my Jesus 
Do you know my friend 
Have you heard he loves you 
And that he will abide till the end? 

Have you heard he loves you 
And that he will abide till the end?. 

IF WE FORGET GOD (SATAN WILL RULE)

If We Forget God 

The stories and pictures in most magazines now feature new styling’s unfit to be seen. 
And they're placed on the news stand were children can buy. When they go wrong do we wonder why? 

Cho: 
If we forget Got, His mercies will flee 
and sin will cover the land and the sea. 
If we forget God, Satan will rule. 
If we forget God our nation is doomed. 

So many are climbing fame’s golden hill by singing of evils 
that gives this worked a thrill. 
But I'll sing of Jesus and though they won't hear, 
God will bless me for doing His will.

LOST IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SWEET HOLY GHOST

Lost In The Presence Of The Sweet Holy Ghost 

If I told you that I'd seen something that no one else could see 
And if I told you that the angels had been talking to me 
Would you merely think me foolish, all my senses I had lost 
No, Im just lost in the presence of the sweet Holy Ghost 

CHORUS 
I'm lost in the presence of the sweet Holy Ghost 
And its drawing me closer to the one I love the most 
And I'm keeping company with the Heavenly Host 
Cause I'm lost in the presence of the sweet Holy Ghost 

Now if you tried to tell me something and I just misunderstood 
If I'm too heavenly mined to be any earthly good 
If you're scared of my religion you'd better not get close 
Because 'Im lost in the presence of the sweet Holy Ghost 

CHORUS 

Now if you think I'm out of order because I can't stay in my seat 
And if you think that it's blasphemous because there's dancing in my feet 
I can hardly hear you talking, I'm not listening very well 
Because I'm plugged into power and I'm about to have a spell 

CHORUS 

WHERE WE'LL NEVER GROW OLD

Where We'll Never Grow Old

I have heard of a land on the far away strand
'Tis a beautiful home of the soul
Built by Jesus on high, there we never shall die
'Tis a land where we never grow old

   Never grow old, never grow old
   In a land where we'll never grow old
   Never grow old, never grow old
   In a land where we'll never grow old

In that beautiful home where we'll never more roam
We shall be in the sweet by and by
Happy praise to the king thru eternity sing
'Tis a land where we never shall die

When our work here is done and the life crown is won
And out troubles and trials are o'er
All our sorrows will end and our voices will blend
With the loved ones who've gone on before

WHEN HE REACHED DOWN HIS HAND

When He Reached Down His Hand

Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way
I was wretched and blind as could be
But my Savior in love gave me peace from above
When he reached down his hand for me

   When the Savior reached down for me
   When he reached down his hand for me
   I was lost and undone without God or his Son
   When he reached down his hand for me

How my heart does rejoice when I hear his sweet voice
In a tempest to him I can cling
I can lean on his arm safe and sure from all harm
When he reaches down his hand for me

PRODIGAL SON'S RETURN

Prodigal Son's Return

(1)

In the bible, Luke 15, there a story may be seen

of a big-head who decided to leave home.

He concluded it was best, rather than find soul rest,

to press out into the world and ever roam.

So he packed his little grip and he started on his trip

and his substance with the harlot soon was spent,

Was compelled to spend his time, in the pig-pen feeding swine

and his clothes were covered ore with pig-pen scent.

But one day while mixing swill, many thoughts his mind did fill

and his memory took him back to days of old,

where he had three squares a day 

and there were no bills to pay

for his father owned the silver and the gold.

Then he cried, "Oh what a fool, to remain old satan's tool,

when my father has a plenty and to spare.

I'll just go back home today, hunt up father dear and say

"Won't you let me with the servants have a share?"

(Chorus)

Oh glory hallelujah, he is coming home,

coming back to father, never more to roam.

So kill the fatted calf, for he's coming up the path,

Hallelujah! He is coming home!

(2)

As his heart began to yearn, home his footsteps he did turn.

Soon the glittering towers and turrets were in sight.

When the father saw the son, out to meet him he did run,

threw his arms around his boy and held him tight

He cried, "Father I'm not fit, in your dining hall to sit,

if I can but serve you I'll be satisfied."

But they brought the best robe out,

put it on him with a shout as he leaned on father's breast

and sobbed and cried.

(3)

But his brother Pharisee, who near by did chance to be,

heard the music and dancing in the house.

When he smelled the fatted calf,

he came sneaking up the path,

through the window cast his stealthy eyes about.

When he saw the table spread

and his brother, long thought dead, 

old carnality began to sulk and pout.

But his father spoke and said, "He's alive who once was dead!"

That's the reason why we sing and dance and shout.

WE SHALL MEET SOME DAY

We Shall Meet Someday

   We shall meet (we shall meet) where no storm clouds gather
   We shall meet (we shall meet) someday
   By the river of life sparkling cool and clear
   We shall meet someday

How our heart aches with grief when we say goodbye
We shall meet (we shall meet) someday
Where no sorrow or tears ever dims our eyes
We shall meet (we shall meet) someday

What a glorious thought as we say goodbye
We shall meet (we shall meet) someday
In that beautiful home that's prepared on high
We shall meet (we shall meet) someday

WAIT A LITTLE LONGER PLEASE JESUS

Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus

Here the labour is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are longing for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll enjoy some peace and happiness.

   But wait a little longer, please, Jesus
   There's so many still a-wandering out in sin
   Just a little longer, please, Jesus
   Just a few more days tolet our loved ones in.

We may look into the skies and tearswillfill our eyes
For our weary hearts grow heavy with each day
First we cry oh lord please come, come and take our children home
And then we look around us and we say:

The family's scattered here and there, but Lord we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find the way
Well if waiting is the cause well they might not be
Lord that's the only reason why we say:

UNCLOUDY DAY

Uncloudy Day

Oh they tell me of a home far beyond the sky
Oh they tell me of a home far away
Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
Oh they tell me of an uncloudy day

   Oh the land of cloudless days
   Oh the land of an uncloudy sky
   Oh they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
   Oh they tell me of an uncloudy day

Oh they tell me that he smiles on his children there
And his smile drives the sorrows away
Oh they tell me that now clouds ever come again
In that lovely land of uncloudy days

THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME

This World Is Not My Home

This world is not my home I'm just-a-passing through
My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue
Many friends and kindred have gone on before
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do
The Angels beckon me to heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world amymore

Over in gloryland there'll be no dying there
The saints all shouting victory and singing everywhere
I hear the voice of them that's gone on before
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

He's expecting me that's one thing I know
I fixed it up with Jesus a long time ago
He will take me through though I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER

Standing In The Need Of Prayer

It's me oh Lord - Standin' in the need of prayer
It's me oh Lord - Standin' in the need of prayer

Not my mother (not my father) it's me oh Lord
Not the preacher (not the sinner) It's me oh Lord
Standin' in the need of prayer

It's mighty rough road - Standin' in the need of prayer
For me to carry my load - Standin' in the need of prayer

Help me throught the night - Standin in the need of prayer
Show me which way's right - Standin' in the need of prayer

I've been down so long - Standin' in the need of prayer
I know I been wrong - Standin' in the need of prayer

SING SING SING

Sing Sing Sing

In this world of sorrow I've seen troubles and woe
Way up there in glory Lordy I'll see no more
For I know my prayers have not been in vain
When I get up to heaven I'm gonna sing sing sing

When I get to heaven I'm gonna sing sing sing
I'm gonna let the hallelujahs ring
I'm gonna praise my blessed Savior's name
When I get up to heaven I'm gonna sing sing sing

Sometimes I get so weary inside
That I recall how my Jesus died
Up there I know there'll be no more pain
When I get to heaven I'm gonna sing sing sing

Up there no tears will blind my eyes
As I walk along by my Jesus's side
I'll meet my loved ones all once again
When I get up to heaven I'm gonna sing sing sing

SCARLET PURPLE ROBE

Scarlet Purple Robe

There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day
False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

   Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
   As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
   And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
   His raiment was a scarlet purple robe

In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek
Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand
The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe

Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilot came
In this man I find no reason He should die
But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe

Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
And my River Of Jordan that will be

RIVER OF JORDAN

River Of Jordan

To the River Of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John The Baptist met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters
The mighty power of God filled the air

   I'm on my way to the River Of Jordan
   Gonna wade right in to the rushing waters
   I'm going down to the River Of Jordan
   And let the cool waters cleanse my soul

King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elisha said to Naaman "go dip yourself in Jordan"
And let the cool waters wash your spots away

   So he went right down to the River Of Jordan
   He waded right in the rushing waters
   He dipped himself in the River Of Jordan
   And the cool waters made him whole

Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
And my River Of Jordan that will be

RANK STRANGERS

Rank Strangers

I wandered again to my home in the mountain
Where in youths 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 no dad not a friend I could see
   They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
   I found they were all rank strangers to me

They've moved all 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

PRECIOUS MEMORIES

Precious Memories

As I travel down life's pathway
Knowing not what the years may hold
As I ponder hopes grow fonder
Precious memories flood my soul

   Precious Memories how they linger
   How they ever flood my soul
   In the stillness of the midnight
   Precious sacred scenes unfold

Precious father loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes from my childhood
In fond memory appear

PASS ME NOT

Pass Me Not

Pass me not oh gentle savior
Hear my humble cry
While on others Thou art calling
Do not pass me by

   Savior Savior
   Hear my humble cry
   While on others Thou art calling
   Do not pass me by

Let me at the throne of mercy
Find a sweet relief
Kneeling there in deep contrition
Help my unbelief

OVER IN THE GLORY LAND

Over In The Glory Land

I've a home prepared where the saints abide
Just over in the glory land
And I long to be by my Savior's side
Just over in the glory land

   Just over ( over ) in the glory land
   I'll join ( yes join ) the happy angel band
   Just over in the glory land
   Just over ( over ) in the glory land
   There with ( yes with ) the mighty host I'll stand
   Just over in the glory land

I am on my way to those mansions fair
Just over in the glory land
There to sing God's praises and his glory share
Just over in the glory land

What a joyful thought that my Lord I'll see
Just over in the glory land
And with kindred saved there forever be
Just over in the glory land

With the blood washed throng I will shout and sing
Just over in the glory land
Glad hosannas to Christ
the Lord and King
Just over in the glory land

NO HIDING PLACE DOWN HERE

No Hiding Place Down Here

Sister Mary she wears a golden chain
Sister Mary she wears a golden chain
Sister Mary she wears a golden chain
On every link there's Jesus name
There's no hiding place down here

   There's no hiding place down ground
   There's no hiding place down ground
   Well I run to the rocks and I hide my face
   The rocks cried out No hiding place
   There's no hiding place down here

I'll pitch tent on the old camp ground
I'll pitch tent on the old camp ground
I'll pitch tent on the old camp ground
I'll give old Satan old more round
There's no hiding place down here

Oh the devil he wears a hypocrite's shoe
The devil he wears a hypocrite's shoe
The devil wears hypocrite's shoe
If you don't watch he'll slip it on you
There's no hiding place down here

MEETING IN THE AIR

Meeting In The Air

You have heard of little Moses in the bull rush
You have heard of fearless David and his sling
You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph
And of Jonah and the whale you often sing

   There is going to be a meeting in the air
   In that sweet sweet by and by
   I am going to meet you meet you over there
   In that home beyond the sky

   The singing you will hear never heard by mortals ears
   Will be glorious I do declare
   And God's own son will be the leading one
   At that meeting in the air

There are many many others through the bible
I should like to meet them all I do declare
By and by the lord will surely let us meet them
At that meeting in the air

JUST AS THE SUN WENT DOWN

Just as the Sun Went Down

Love like this was never known
Though you search the whole world 'round
Jesus dying for his own
Just as the sun went down

    Just as the evenin' sun
    Was sinkin' in the golden west
    Hanging between two thieves
    They crucified the Son of God

    Mocked by the multitudes
    They placed on Him a thorny crown
    Love like this was never known
    Jesus dying for His own
    Just as the sun went down

In San Hedron He was tried
Have no use for Him they cried
By the mob He was crucified
Just as the sun went down

JUST A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS

Just A Little Talk With Jesus

I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul
It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole

   Now let us have a little talk with Jesus
   Let us tell Him all about our troubles
   He will hear our famished cry
   He will answer by and by
   Now when you feel a little prayer turning
   And you know the little talk with Jesus makes it right

Sometimes my path seems dreary without a ray of cheer
And then the cloud about me hides the light of day
The mists in me rise and hide the stormy skies
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way

I may have doubts and fears my eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and and night
I go to Him in prayer He knows my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right

You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right
Makes everything right

IT'S ME AGAIN LORD

It's Me Again Lord

Troubles come and I can't find an answer
Lonely nights I spend in agony
I have no other friend that I can turn to
So here I am Lord back upon my knees

    It's me again Lord I've got a prayer I need an answer
    It's me again Lord I've got a problem I can't solve
    Well I don't mean to worry you but here I am facing something new
    And I need help that only comes from You it's me again Lord

I know You're mighty busy in Your Heaven
Forming worlds and hanging stars to shine
But You promised if I'd ask that I'd receive it
So here I am Lord asking one more time

IN THE HIGHWAYS (I'LL BE SOMEWHERE WORKIN')

In The Highways (I'll be somewhere workin')

In the highways in the hedges
In the highways in the hedges
In the highways in the hedges
I'll be somewhere a workin for my Lord

   I'll be somewhere a workin
   I'll be somewhere a workin
   I'll be somewhere a workin
   I'll be somewhere a workin for my Lord

When he calls me I will answer
When he calls me I will answer
When he calls me I will answer
I'll be somewhere a workin for my Lord

In the highways in the hedges
In the highways in the hedges
In the highways in the hedges
I'll be somewhere a workin for my Lord

I'LL FLY AWAY

I'll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

   I'll fly away oh glory
   I'll fly away (in the morning)
   When I 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

Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away

I HEARD MY MOTHER CALL MY NAME IN PRAYER

I Heard My Mother Call My Name In Prayer

While kneeling by her bedside in a cottage on the hill
My mother prayed her blessings on me there
She was talking there to Jesus while everything was still
and I heard my mother call my name in prayer

   Yes I heard my mother call my name in prayer
   She was pourin out her heart to Jesus there
   Then I Gave my heart to him and he saved my soul from sin
   For he heard my mother call my name in prayer

She was anxious for her boy to be just what he ought to be
And she asked the Lord to take him in his care
Just the words I can't remember but I know she prayed for me
For I heard my mother call my name in prayer

So I gave my heart to Jesus and I'm livin now for him
And someday I'll go and meet him in the air
For he heard my mother praying and he saved my soul from sin
Yes he heard my mother call my name in prayer

I CAN'T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE

I Can't Feel At Home In This World Anymore

This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through
My treasures and my hopes are all beyond the blue;
Where many Christian children have gone on before,
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

   Oh Lord, You know I have no friend but you
   If Heaven's not my home, Oh Lord what would I do?
   The angel's beckon me to Heaven's open door
   And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Over in glory land there is no dying there
The saints are shouting Victory and singing everywhere
I hear the voice of Nell that I have heard before
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

I AM THE MAN, THOMAS

I Am The Man, Thomas

   Oh, I am the Man, Thomas, I am the Man
   Look at these nail scars here in my hands

They pierced me in the side, Thomas, I am the Man
They made me bear the cross, Thomas, I am the Man

They laid me in the tomb, Thomas, I am the Man
In three days I arose, Thomas, I am the Man

They pierced me in the Side, Thomas, I am the Man
They made me bear the cross, Thomas, I am the Man

HOLD TO GOD'S UNCHANGING HAND

Hold To God's Unchanging Hand

Time is filled with swift transition
Naught of earth unmoved can stand
Build you hopes on things eternal
Hold to God's unchanging hand

   Hold to God's unchanging hand
   Hold to God's unchanging hand
   Build you hopes on things eternal
   Hold to God's unchanging hand

Trust in Him who will not leave you
What so ever years may bring
If by earthly friends forsaken
Still, more closely to Him cling

When your journey is completed
When the valley you pass through
Fair and bright the home in glory
Your enraptured soul will view
