Mary Don’t You Weep

Well if I could I surely would
Stand on the rock where Moses stood
Pharaoh’s army got drownded
O Mary don’t you weep
O Mary don’t you weep, don’t mourn
O Mary don’t you weep, don’t mourn
Pharaoh’s army got drownded
O Mary don’t you weep

On every link was Jesus’ name
Pharaoh’s army got drownded
O Mary don’t you weep

Banks of the River Jordan

I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan
To find where it flows to the sea.
I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry
And I saw I was looking at me.
I wanted to know if life had a purpose
And what it all means in the end.
In the silence I listened to voices inside me
And they told me again and again.

The is only one river. There is only one sea.
And it flows through you, and it flows through me.
There is only one people. We are one and the same.
We are all one spirit. We are all one name.
We are the father, mother, daughter and son.
From the dawn of creation, we are one.
We are one.

Every blade of grass on the mountain
Every drop in the sea
Every cry of a newborn baby
Every prayer to be free
Every hope at the end of a rainbow
Every song ever sung
Is a part of the family of woman and man
And that means everyone.

We are only one river. We are only one sea.
And it flows through you, and it flows through me.
We are only one people. We are one and the same.
We are all one spirit. We are all one name.
We are the father, mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation, we are one.
We are one.

What Would Jesus Do?

Some people just
want to survive
And I dont know about you
But I am alive
Lately it seems
that I need a hand
In a fallen world
I just want to stand

CHORUS:
What would Jesus do walkin’ in my shoes
Workin’ at my job and goin’ to my school
And I hear people say, >Jesus is the way<
I believe and that is why I’m asking you
What would Jesus do?

And as we all know
Life can be tough
And all that we need is love-sweet love
So where do we go?
Well here’s what I see
To change my world
I gotta change me

CHORUS

Sometimes choices dont seem black and white
And they can leave you black and blue

What would Jesus do walkin’ in my shoes
Workin’ at my job and goin’ to my school
And I hear people say, Jesus is the way<
I believe and that is why I’m asking you

What would Jesus do walkin’ in my shoes
Workin’ at my job and goin’ to my school
And I hear people say, Jesus is the way<
I believe and that is why I’m asking you
I need to know What would Jesus do?

What would Jesus do- He’d give His life for you
If you follow Him- you’ll give you life to them
What would Jesus do- He’d give His life for you
If you follow Him- you’ll give you life to them
Shine on Shine on Follow with Jesus
Shine on Shine on Follow with Jesus

There Is Still a Dream

When will we open our eyes and finally discover
We are united by one blood?
When will we realize we’re sisters and brothers
And what the world needs now is love?
There’s a dreamer inside each one of us who wants to believe

There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father’s hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world, there is still a dream

A brother down on his luck fallen to chances
We could pick the brother up
A sister down on her knees prayin’ for answers
Why don’t you show the sister love?
All over the world life is unjust but I do believe

There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father’s hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world there is still a dream

And everyone needs one
‘Cause no one is freed from
The worries of life that drag us down
If you can’t make it my hands can take it
We’ll stand together and pray

There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father’s hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world

There is still a dream to believe in
There is still a hope after hope is gone
We could be the Father’s hands
And give peace a chance
And show the world there is still a dream
There is still a dream

By Heart, by Soul

If You were a road
I’d learn every turn til I
Could find my way with my eyes closed
If You were a song
I’d sing along til I
Knew every word and every note

But you were everything to me
A mystery
Your the Love I live to see

By heart, by soul
Thats how I want to know You
Keep you as close as
Breath is to life
Wanna watch your love unfold
By heart, by heart, by soul

If You were a place
I’d stay my whole life til I
Had every corner memorized
And if You were a star
You were a star
I’d follow You home, You would be
The Light that is my only guide

You were everything to me
My A to Z
You were everything to me
It would be forever eternity

By heart, by soul
Thats how I want to know you
Keep you as close as
Breath is to life
Wanna watch your love unfold
By heart, by heart, by soul

I wanna know you inside and out
Better than I even know myself

By heart, by heart, by soul, by soul
Thats how I want to know you
Keep you as close as
Keep you as close as
Breath is to life
Breath is to life
I wanna watch your love
Sweet sweet love unfold
My heart

My heart, my heart, my soul, my soul
Thats how I want to know you
Thats how I want to know you
Keep you as close as
Keep you as close as
Breath is to life
Breath is to life
Wanna watch your love unfold
By heart, by heart, by soul, by soul

If You were a star
I’d follow You home by heart
By soul

Bridge over Troubled Water

When you’re weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I’m on your side oh when times get rough and friends just can’t be found
Oh like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Oh like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you’re down and out when you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I’ll take your part when oh darkness comes and pain is all around
Yeah like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down
Oh like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl sail on by your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine oh if you need a friend I’m sailing right out behind
Yeah like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind

Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Were You There?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when He rose up from the grave?
Were you there when He rose up from the grave?
Oh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when He rose up from the grave?
Were you there when He rose up from the grave?

Jesus Loves Me

Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Sing, yes, Jesus loves me

Heaven’s gates to open wide
He will wash away my sins
And let his little child come in
Keep on singin’ y’all

Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the Bible tells me so

Listen children, Jesus loves me
He will stay close beside me all the way
If I love Him, when I die
He will take me home on high

I Shall Be Released

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man, oh, must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Someplace so high above this wall

I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Now, yonder stands a man, oh, in this lonely crowd
He’s a man who swears he’s not to blame
All day long, I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shinin’
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Oh, any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
