Gaither- I Have returned I have returned to the God of my childhood, To the same simple faith as a child I once knew; Like the prodigal son I have longed for my loved ones, For the comforts of home and the God I outgrew. I have returned to the God of my childhood, Bethlehem's Babe, the prophet's Messiah; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned. I have returned to the God of my mother, With unfailing faith for the child of her heart; She said bring them up the way that you want them, Thank God when they're grown, they'll never depart. I have returned to the God of my mother, I learned at her knee He's the lily of the valley; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned. I have returned to the God of my father, The most God-like man a child could know; I just heard a shout from the angels in glory, Praising the Lord a child has come home. I have returned to the God of my father, Creator of heaven and earth, God of the universe; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned. I have returned to the Yahweh of Judah, On my knees I did fall where the wall now stands; This lesson I learned as I've worked my way homeward, The Saviour of all is a comfort to man. I have returned to the Father of Abraham, The shepherd of Moses who called Him the great I am; He's Jesus to me, Eternal Deity; Praise His name, I have returned.

. I GO BEFORE YOU I go before you says the Lord, Do no fear though the way be dark ahead, I will send my angel to make straight, your path, You will find that the way is clear. So with your hand in my own hand, Tell me what have you to fear, Come now who can be against us, when I am on your side. I know what many times before, You have feared as you find yourself in doubt, So this once, I ask you just to trust in me, Never will I let you down. Ill show you how to walk alone, All you need is my strength and all my love, This I freely offer you for all of your life, Ever faithful am I to you. 17. UP, UP WITH PEOPLE Up, up with people, you meet them wherever you go Up, up with people theyre the best kind of folks we know. If more people were for people were people every where. Theyd be a lot less people to worry about, and a lot more people to care.x2 It happened just this morning, As I was walking down the street, The milk man and the postman, The policeman I did meet, Out in every window and every single door, I recognized people, Id never noticed before Inside everybody, theres some bad and there is some good, But don't let anybody, Start attacking peoplehood, Leave them as they are,but fight for them to be, Great men and great women, as God meant them to be.

19. HERE I AM LORD If I tried to live my life Lord, Without ever trusting you, It would be a waste of time, There is nothing I would find, So I try to live my life Lord, Everyday for you, Whered I be, without your love? So here I am Lord, Im giving it up to you Here I am Lord, What more could I do? Though I know that Im not worthy, But thats the way I am, Here I am, Here I am Taking care that I dont stumble Even when I know Ill fall, But youre always by my side, And soon Im standing tall, Who would ever love me more Lord, Much more than you do, Where would I be, without youre love? 20. SPECIAL DELIVERY Lord I give to Jesus, a parcel to bring to you, A parcel Lord thats small and fragile, A package of my life X2 Special delivery Lord, Come and sign your name on my heart, Come and take this parcel, of mine, Special delivery Lord, Jesus will bring it up to you, He whos kind, patient and loving, He who rules forever Times will come and times will go, To pass away on, Try figure out if there is a way, A way to a better place X2

28. ALL I ASK OF YOU All I ask of you is forever to remember me, as loving you. Deep the joy of being together in one heart and for me that is just where it is. As we make our way through all the joys and pain, can we sense our younger truer selves? Someone will be calling you to be there for a while. Can you hear the cry from deep within? Laughter, joy and presence: the only gifts you are. Have you time? Id like to be with you. Persons come into the fiber of our lives, and then their shadow fades and disappears, but... 14. LIKE A SHEPHERD Like a shepherd he feeds his flock, And gathers the lambs in his hands, Holding them carefully close to his heart, Leading them home. Go to the cities of Judah, Prepare the way of the Lord, Go to the mountain top, Lift your voice, Jerusalem here is your God. I myself will shepherd them, For others have led them astray, The lost I will rescue, and heal their wounds, And pasture them, giving them rest. Come unto me, If you are heavily burdened, And take my yoke upon your shoulders, I will give you rest. 7. PASS IT ON It only takes a spark, to get a fire going, And soon all those around, can warm up to its glowing, Thats how it is with Gods love, once youve experienced it,

You spread his love, to everyone, You want to pass it on. What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding, The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming, Thats how it is with God love, once youve experienced it, You want to sing, its fresh like spring, You want to pass it on. I wish for you my friends, this happiness that Ive found, You can depend on him, it matters not where youre bound, Ill shout it from the mountain top; I want the world to know, The Lord of love, has come to me, I want to pass it on. Pass it on, pass it on*3 7. I THE LORD OF SEA AND SKY I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry, All who dwell in dark and sin, my hand will save, I who made the stars of night, I shall make their darkness bright, Who will bear my light to them, whom shall I send? Here I am Lord, is it I Lord? I have heard, you calling in the night, I will go Lord, if you lead me, I will hold your people in my heart I the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne my peoples pain, I have wept for love of them, they turn away, I will break their hearts of stone; give them hearts of love alone, I will speak my words to them, whom shall I send? I the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame, I will bear a feast for them, my hand will save, Finest bread I will provide, till their hearts are satisfied, I will give my life to them, whom shall I send? 5. COME TO THE WATERS You said youll come, and share all my sorrows, You said youd be here, for all my tomorrows, I came so close to send you away, But just like you promised, you came here to stay, I just had to pray.

Then Jesus said come, to the waters stand by my side, I know you are thirsty, you wont be denied, I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you cried, And I strove to remind you, that for those tears I died. Your goodness so great, I cant understand, But dear Lord, I know now, that all these was planned, Savior you opened, all the right doors, And I thank you and praise you, from earths humble shores, But Jesus why me? Jesus I give you, my heart and my soul, I know that without God, Ill never be whole, I know youre here, and always will be, Your love loosed my chains, and in you Im free, Take me Im yours.
