I AM A PROMISE
4 Gloria Gaither, William J. Gaither
Chorus: I am a promise, I am a possibility,
I am a promise with a capital "P",
I am a great big bundle of potentiality,
And I am learning to hear God's voice,
And I am trying to make the right choices,
I'm a promise to be anything He wants me to be.
Verse
I can go anywhere that He wants me to go,
I can be anything that He wants me to be,
I can climb the high mountains,
I can cross the wide sea,
I'm a great big promise, you see! (Chorus)

JESUS BIDS US SHINE
5 Edwin O. Excell, Susan Bogert Warner

Jesus bids us shine with a clear pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the night;
In this world of darkness, we must shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
Verse 2
Jesus bids us shine, first of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it, if our light is dim;
He looks down from heaven, sees us shine,
You in your small corner and I in mine.
Verse 3
Jesus bids us shine, then, for all around;
Many kinds of darkness, in this world abound;
Sin, and want, and sorrow, we must shine
You in your small corner and I in mine.
Verse 4
Jesus bids us shine, as we work for Him,
Bringing those that wander, from the paths of sin;
He will ever help us, if we shine,
You in your small corner and I in mine.

We claim the mighty victory You've won. (Chorus)

In the stars His handiwork I see,
On the wind He speaks with majesty,
Though He ruleth over land and sea,

Sure, He came to set His people free,
What is that to me?

And I felt the wonder of His grace,
Then I knew that He was more
Than just a God who didn’t care,

Now He walks beside me day by day,
Ever watching over me lest I stray,
Helping me to find the narrow way,
He’s everything to me.

SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO
43 Hugh Mitchell
Three good men lived very long ago,
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
To an idol they would never bow,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Into a fiery furnace they were therefore cast,
Nebuchadnezzer thought they’d never last;
But God was there, He’d never let them go.

ONLY A BOY NAMED DAVID
54 Arthur Smith Arnott
Only a boy named David, only a little sling;
Only a boy named David, but he could pray and sing;
Only a boy named David, only a rippling brook;
Only a boy named David, but five little stones he took.
And one little stone went into the sling,
And the sling went round and round.
And one little stone went into the sling,
And the sling went round and round.
And round and round and round and round
And round and round and round.
And one little stone went up in the air,
And the giant came tumbling down.

I JUST FEEL LIKE SOMETHING GOOD
IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN
60 William J. Gaither
Verse 1
I just feel like something good is about to happen,
I just feel like something good is on its way.
He has promised that He'd open all of heaven,
And brother, it could happen any day.

And they look to heaven expecting as they pray.
I just feel like something good is about to happen,
And brother this could be that very day.
Verse 2
I have learned in all that happens just to praise Him.
For I know He's working all things for my good.
Ev'ry tear I shed is worth all the investment.
For I know He'll see me through, He said He would.
He has promised eye nor ear can hardly fathom,
All the things He has in store for those who pray.
I just feel like something good is about to happen,
And brother this could be that very day.
Verse 3
Yes I've noticed all the bad news in the paper.
And it seems like things are bleaker ev'ry day.
But for this child of God it makes no difference.
Because it's bound to get better either way.
I've never been more thrilled about tomorrow.
Sunshine's always bursting through the skies of gray.
I just feel like something good is about the happen,
And brother this could be that very day.

For I’m going to your house today.

98 Kelly Willard
Verse 1
Where could I go from Your Spirit?
How could I hide from Your eyes?
Why would I wander away from You,
Knowing that You are so wise?
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the depths of the sea,
Even the darkness hides nothing from You,
And with Your hand You will lead me.

For You did knit me together
Even before I was born.
I will confess You and praise You,
You are my wonderful Lord. (Verse 1 again)

For the Spirit dwells within,
Bearing witness that I’ve been
Cleansed from every sin and stain;
I am ready if the Lord should come,
Or today my soul should claim;
I can face eternal years
Free from doubt and dread and fears,
Yes, I know, know, know that I’ve been born again!

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?
118 Mosie Lister
Verse 1
How long has it been since you talked with the Lord,
And told Him your heart’s hidden secrets?
How long since you prayed?
How long since you stayed
On your knees till the light shone through?
How long has it been since your mind felt at ease?
How long since your heart knew no burden?
Can you call Him your friend?
How long has it been since you knew that He cared for you?
Verse 2
How long has it been since you knelt by your bed
And prayed to the Lord up in heaven?
How long since you knew that He’d answer you,
And would keep you the whole night through?
How long has it been since you woke with the dawn,
And felt that the day’s worth the living?
Can you call Him your friend?
How long has it been since you knew that He cared for you?

See what He offers me:
Down here my sins forgiven,
Up there a home in heaven.”

And life is worth the living,

But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days
Because He lives!

I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He reigns.

Verse 1
In country town or city, some people can be found.
Who spend their lives in grumbling, at everything around.
Oh yes they always grumble, no matter what we say,
For these are chronic grumblers, and they grumble night and
day.
Chorus: O, they grumble on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Grumble on Thursday too,
Grumble on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Grumble the whole week through.
O, they grumble on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Grumble on Thursday too,
Grumble on Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Grumble the whole week through.
Verse 2
They grumble in the city, they grumble on the farm,
They grumble at their neighbors, they think it is no harm.
They grumble at their husbands, they grumble at their wives,
They grumble at their children, but the grumbler never thrives.
Verse 3
They grumble when it's raining, they grumble when it's dry,
And if the crops are failing, they grumble and they sigh.
They grumble at low prices, and grumble when they're high,
They grumble all the year 'round, and they grumble till they die.
Verse 4
They grumble at the preacher, they grumble at his prayer,
They grumble at his preaching, they grumble everywhere.
They grumble at God's people, and say 'tis all display.
But holy folks don't grumble, they have only time to pray.
Verse 5
They stay away from meeting, because it's hot or cold,
Or else it looks like raining, a headache or a cold.
And when the offerings taken, they're sure to pout and sigh,
And say they feel so sorry, always money is the cry.
Verse 6
If you don't quit your grumbling, and stop it now and here,
You'll never get to Heaven, no grumblers enter there.
Repent and be converted, be saved from all your sin.
You know that grumbling Christians, find it hard a crown to win.

Chorus: He is always there, hearing ev'ry prayer.

In His love we hide, all the day through.
When you get discouraged,
Just remember what to do.
Reach out to Jesus, He's reaching out to you.
Verse 2
Is the life you're living,
Filled with sorrow and despair?
Does the future press you,
With its worry and its care?
Are you tired and friendless,
Have you almost lost your way?
Jesus, will help you,
Just come to Him today.

I’M SOMETHING SPECIAL
221 Gloria Gaither, William J. Gaither
Verse 1
When Jesus sent you to us,
We loved you from the start;
You were just a bit of sunshine
From heaven to our hearts.
Not just another baby
'Cause since the world began,
There's been something very special
For you in His plan.
That's why...
Chorus: I'm something special,
I'm the only one of my kind,
God gave me a body
And a bright healthy mind.
He had a special purpose
That He wanted me to find,
So He made me something special,
I'm the only one of my kind.
Verse 2
I have a little sister
Who's not at all like me;
She can write a lovely poem,
But I can climb a tree.
My brother too is diff'rent,
With freckles on his nose.
When my questions needed answers,
He's the one who knows.
That's why...
Verse 3
My daddy mows the back yard,
My mother makes the bed.
My brother cleans the playroom,
I see the dog gets fed.
And each one needs the other
To help him through the day.
And love must be the reason
God planned it just that way.
That's why...

You will notice we say "brother

And these folks are so near.

And rejoice in each victory
In this family so dear.

Cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The family of God.
Verse 2
From the door of an orphanage
To the house of the King,
No longer an outcast,
A new song I sing.

From the weak to the strong.
I'm not worthy to be here,
But praise God, I belong.

Verse 1
Many years have come and gone,
Since He walked upon our ground.
They say lies don't last so long.
So why's His story hanging around?
And why do people stop and pray
To a man that's dead and gone?
When I ask them they just say,
"He's coming back to take me home."
Chorus: Anybody here wanta live forever, say "I do."
Anybody here wanta walk on golden streets,
Say "I do."
Anybody here sick and tired of livin' like you do.
Anybody here want a home with love forever,
Say "I do."
Verse 2
And they say you'll never know
Till you walk up to that Man,
And you look into His eyes of love
And you touch the nail scars in His hand.
And then if you can walk away,
Knowing all He died to do,
That's when I'll just have to say,
"I guess He didn't die for you".

He’ll hide you ever in the rock of ages,
In the rock of ages, just cleft for me.

MADE UP MIND
306 Geron Davis
Verse 1
Early ev'ry day,
I make a conscious choice,
Give myself to Christ;
Let Him lead the way
And listen to His voice,
He directs my life.
Just no way to serve two masters,
I am His and His alone.
Chorus: I've got a made up mind,
Gonna serve the Lord,
Whatever comes my way,
I've got a made up mind,
Gonna do His will each and ev'ry day;
Won't look to the left,
Won't look to the right,
No distractions of any kind,
I'm gonna serve the Lord,
I've got a made up mind.
Verse 2
In his subtle way
Satan comes to me,
Spins his web of lies;
He knows just what to say,
A master of deceit,
Seeking my demise.
So, once again I must remind him,
My heart belongs to someone else.
(BRIDGE)
Like a baby needs its mother,
Like a young man needs his bride;
So, my heart desires to follow after Christ. (Repeat Chorus)

Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Verse 2
Let peace begin with me,
Let this be the moment now.
With ev'ry step I take,
Let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.

I’M SO HAPPY
319 C.M. Truesdell, V.B. (Vep) Ellis
I’m so happy and here’s the reason why,
Jesus took my burdens all away.

And gave me peace within my heart, and
Now I’m singing as the days go by,
Jesus took my burdens all away.

ABOVE ALL
341 Paul Baloche, Lenny Leblanc
Verse
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth
Chorus: Crucified, laid behind a stone,
You lived to die rejected and alone,
Like a rose trampled on the ground,
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all.

HEART OF WORSHIP
342 Matt Redman
Verse
When the music fades, and all is stripped away
And I simply come,
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart.
I'll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
Chorus: I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you, all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the things I've made it
And it's all about You, all about You, Jesus

Rising again I bless your name,

On which the prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And poor contempt on all my pride.

Bids me come and die and find that I may truly live
Oh the wonderful cross, oh the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace draw near and bless your name.

Save in the death of Christ my God,
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood. (Chorus)

See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown. (Chorus)

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small,
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my souls, my life, my all. (Chorus)
