THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

1. The Old Rugged Cross
2. 
   
3. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
   The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
   And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
   For a world of lost sinners was slain.
   • Refrain:
     So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
     Till my trophies at last I lay down;
     I will cling to the old rugged cross,
     And exchange it some day for a crown.
4. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
   Has a wondrous attraction for me;
   For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
   To bear it to dark Calvary.
5. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
   A wondrous beauty I see,
   For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
   To pardon and sanctify me.
6. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
   Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
   Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
   Where His glory forever I’ll share.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN

Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die
I long for the day that I'll have a new birth 'stead of grievin' here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.

Once upon a time there was a man his name was Heas-i-kie
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't want to die
He cried Oh Lord, please let me live, oh, mend these broken bones
God smiled down on Heasikie and gave him fifteen years to go.

When Jesus walked upon this earth he knew his father's friends
He knew that he must give his life to save the soul of man
When Judas had betrayed him his father heard his cry
He was brave enough unto his death but he didn't want to die.

WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER

When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

                          

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. 

(chorus)
When the roll is called up yon-der,

When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

(chorus)

Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

(chorus)

IT WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH

It Wouldn't Be Enough If I had all the riches this world has to give All the comfort that it brings Never needing anything I could search the whole earth over far and wide Trying to buy that precious love That was sent from God above And it wouldn't be enough No it wouldn't be enough To buy one splinter of the tree that Jesus died on And I couldn't pay the price For one single drop of blood That was shed for my salvation If I had all the riches this world has to give And I gave it all away Every penny to my name To some beggar on life’s dark and lonely street All this kindness found in me Could not win eternity And it wouldn't be enough No it wouldn't be enough To buy one splinter of the tree Jesus died on No I couldn't pay the price For one single drop of blood That was shed for my salvation Nothing I can do No there’s nothing I could say Couldn’t give enough Nothing could repay It wouldn't be enough No it wouldn't be enough To buy one splinter of the tree Jesus died on And I couldn't pay the price For one single drop of blood That was shed for my salvation Wouldn't be enough No it wouldn't be enough To buy one splinter of the tree Jesus died on And I couldn't pay the price For one single drop of blood That was shed for my salvation

IT'S A SONG HOLY ANGELS CANNOT SING

The message of this song has been the focus of my thoughts for days now. Can you just imagine! Angels want to understand it and they never can!
Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. I Peter 1:12

              It's a Song Holy Angels Cannot Sing

Angels never knew the joy that is mine,
For the blood has never washed their sins away;
Though they sing in heaven, there will come a time
When silently they'll listen to me sing "Amazing Grace".

Chorus:
It's a song holy angels cannot sing,
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound!
It's a song holy angels cannot sing,
I once was lost, but now I'm found!

Holy is the LORD, the angels sing,
All around the throne of GOD continually;
For me to join their song will be a natural thing,
But they just won't know the words to "Love Lifted Me".

Chorus:
It's a song holy angels cannot sing,
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound!
It's a song holy angels cannot sing,
I once was lost, but now I'm found!

I COME TO THE GARDEN ALONE

I Come To The Garden Alone 

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

Refrain

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

Refrain

I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

Refrain

HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS

"He's Got The Whole World In His Hands"

He's got the whole world in his hands he's got the whole wild world in his hands
He's got the whole wild world in his hands he's got the whole world in his hands
