Jesus Never Fails

(Arranged by Joey Davis)

Words and Music by Gary Driskell © 1983 Straightway Music

So many souls have tested Him throughout the course of time

So many still reach out to Him with broken hearts and minds
And everyone of them will say with no exception that they find
Jesus never fails

Even in the days of old, He brought His people through

And then He came to show His love when He died for me and you
And then He rose again to prove that every story had been true
Jesus never fails

(Chorus)
Jesus never fails
Jesus never fails
You might as well get thee behind me Satan, you cannot prevail
Because Jesus never fails

Sometimes this world brings troubles that I find so hard to bear

I know I could not make it without Jesus being there
It's so encouraging to know however deep we're in despair
That Jesus never fails

So what can I do to prove to you

Tell me how can you deny
No untold facts,
No mysteries, its all so cut and dry
On the witness stand of your life, I'll be the first to testify
That Jesus never fails

(Repeat Chorus to End)

One Day

(Arranged by Joey Davis and Will Labrenz)

(Well child one day)

One day when Heaven
Was filled with His praises
(Well child one day)
One day when sin was
as black as could be
Jesus came forth
to be born of a virgin
And then dwelt among men
My example is He

(Chorus)
Living He loved me
Dying He saved me
Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He’s justified my freedom forever
One day He’s coming, oh that glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain

One day they left Him to die on that tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
And then bearing our sins my Redeemer is He

(Repeat Chorus)

One day they left Him alone in the garden

One day He rested, from suffering free
Angels came down, o’er His tomb to keep vigil
Hope of the hopeless, my Saviour is He

(Repeat Chorus)

(Well child one day)

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
(Well child one day)
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore

(Repeat Chorus)

Living He loved me
Dying He saved me
Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He’s justified my freedom forever
One day He’s coming, oh that glorious day

One day He’s coming, oh that glorious day

One day He’s coming, oh that glorious day
One day He’s coming, oh that glorious day
Jericho Road

(Arranged by Wayne Hooper)

As you travel along

On the Jericho Road
Does the world seem all wrong
And heavy your load?
Just bring it to Christ
Your sins all confess
On the Jericho Road
Your heart He will bless

(Chorus)
On the Jericho Road
There's room for just two
No more and no less
Just Jesus and you
Each burden He'll bear
Each sorrow He'll share
There's never a care
For Jesus is there

Oh, my brother, to you

This message I bring
Though all hope may be gone
He'll cause you to sing
At Jesus' command
Sin's shackles must fall
On the Jericho Road
Just answer His call

(Repeat Chorus)
Ride On

(Arrangement by Wayne Hooper © 1953)

Words and Music by Henry de Fluiter

Who are these in shining armor

Whence the glory so bright?
Ah, they come from yonder city
Where Christ is all the light

(Chorus)
Ride on, King Jesus
To victory, ride on
In glory, and power
And majesty sublime
Ride on, King Jesus
To victory, ride on
Till heaven and earth shall own Thee, Lord
Oh, conquering One, ride on

Sing for joy, ye remnant people

Your redemption draws near
When the King in all His beauty
In glory shall appear

(Repeat Chorus)
Sweet Sweet Spirit

(Arranged by The Emmanuel Quartet)

Doris Akers © 1962

There's a sweet sweet spirit in this place

And I know that it's the spirit of the Lord

There are sweet expressions on each face

And I know that it's the presence of the Lord

Sweet Holy Spirit

Sweet heavenly dove
Stay right here with us
Filling us with your love
And for these blessings
We lift our hearts in praise (hearts in praise)
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived
When we shall leave this place
Swing Down, Sweet Chariot

(Arranged by The Emmanuel Quartet)

Traditional Spiritual

(Chorus)
Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Calm and easy
I’ve got a home on the other side

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot

Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me Lord, rock me Lord
Calm and easy
I’ve got a home on the other side

Oh well I looked over Jordan

And what did I see
You know I looked over Jordan
And what did I see
A swing down chariot
A-comin’ for me
I’ve got a home on the other side

(Repeat Chorus)

Well there were two white horses

Standing side by side
Truly this old chariot’s gonna
Let me ride
One of these mornings
Bright and early
I’m going home
To the other side

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Swing down, sweet chariot

Stop and let me ride
Fight This Fight

(Arranged by Tim Reutebuch and Joey Davis)

Timothy P. Reutebuch © 1996

I cannot fight the fear that's deep inside me,

I cannot fight one battle of the war,
My eyes are blind without someone to guide me,
I cannot fight this fight without the Lord

Without the Lord

Without the Lord
I would surely face defeat
Without the Lord
My eyes are blind without someone to guide me,
I cannot fight this fight without the Lord
Jesus is Here to Stay

(Words and Music by Tim Reutebuch)

Timothy P. Reutebuch © 1996

(First Chorus)
Jesus is here to stay
When troubles get in my way
I just get down on my knees and pray
I know He’ll see me through (because)
I trust Him each and every day
No matter what the world may say
Oh, Jesus is here to stay

He is my Friend
(Jesus set my spirit free)
I can count on Him
(He gave His life on Calvary)
I know when I’m all alone
(When Satan tries to get to me)
He’s right there by my side
He is my guide
(Like an anchor on the angry sea)
His love is wide
(He keeps me where I ought to be)
And every time I talk to Him
(And when I need to talk to Him)
He’ll answer by and by, oh…

(Repeat First Chorus)

He’s always there

(There’s nothing He would rather do)
He really cares
(Than spend every hour taking care of you)
His love outshines the stars above
(If you let Him prove His love is true)
Just open up your eyes
(He’ll open up your eyes)
His ways are wise
(Even when we may be stumbling)
His love’s the size
(He offers you and me eternity)
Of a million, billion galaxies
(I’ve got a home built by the King)
And there’s room enough for you

(Repeat First Chorus)

(Second Chorus)
Oh, Jesus is here to stay
When troubles get in your way
Just get down on your knees and pray
I know He’ll see you through
Just trust Him each and every day
No matter what the world may say
Oh, Jesus is here to stay
Oh, Jesus is here to stay
Shall We Gather at the River

(Arranged by Joey Davis)

Words and Music by Robert Lowry, 1864

Shall we gather at the river,

Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?

(Refrain)
Yes, we’ll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.

Soon we'll reach the shining river,

Soon our pilgrimage will cease
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace

(Repeat Refrain)
Step into the Water

(The Emmanuel Quartet)

© 1981 Homeward Bound Music/BMI

(Chorus)
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Wet your feet in the water of His love
O step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Come join angels singing
Praises to the lamb of God

It's time we the people

Stand up for what is right
It's time we rare our shoulders back
And raised our swords to fight
The Bible is my weapon
The Spirit is my shield
The church needs more of its members
To be workers in the field

(Repeat Chorus)

There is victory for the Christian

Who walks the narrow way
There has been a prize appointed
For the soul who does not stray
O I want to live for Jesus
Be all that I can be
So that I can rest with him forever
Live eternally

(Repeat Chorus)
The Way, The Truth, and The Life

(Words and Music by Joey Davis)

Joseph E. Davis © 1996

(God sent His one and only Son)

(To die for you and me)
(To be an example)
(Of how each one should be)
From a baby boy He showed the world
That we should live each day
(With) peace and rest assurance
(That) God is the Way…

Chorus:
He’s the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
His Son gave Himself for sacrifice
(He gave up Himself)
So we won’t have to die.
He’s the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

(Jesus walked from place to place)

(Gathering people near)
(Speaking words from the Father)
(That only He could hear)
Now if you want to know the Word of God
The Bible is there for you
(And if you) tune your ear
You’ll hear I am the Truth…

(Now He hangs on a tree)

(To save those who are lost)
(It’s plain to see He loves me)
(No matter what the cost)
Then He burst forth from the tomb
With His arms held open wide
(Sayin’) come my children follow
I am the Light…

Repeat Chorus Twice

Coda:
He’s the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
He’s the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
He’s the Life.
