Going Up Home to Live In Green Pastures

1. Troubles and trials often beset us,

causing the weary body to stray.
But we shall walk beside the still waters,
with the Good Shepherd leading the way

Chorus:
Going up home to live in green pastures,
where we shall live and die nevermore.
Even the Lord will be in that number,
when we have reached that heavenly shore.

2. Those who have strayed were sought by the master,
He who once gave His life for the sheep.
Out on the mountain still He is searching
bringing them in forever to keep.

3. We will not heed the voice of a stranger,
for he will lead us into despair.
Following home with Jesus our Savior,
we shall all reach that country so fair.

The Upper Window

1. When God spoke unto Noah, and he told him to build the ark,
Then God said sail the vessel, but oh it was so dark.
Then God said build a window, with an outlet toward the sky,
and when you're dark and lonesome you'll see me standing by

Chorus:
The storms may come but fear not, for Noah I am nigh,
and through the upper window, you'll see me standing by.

2. It may be that afflictions will wreck and rack your brain,
Until your mortal body, is racked with fever and pain,
But do not be discouraged, just lift your tear dimmed eyes,
and through the upper window, you'll see God standing by.

3. Perhaps you'll suffer loses, like houses lands and gold.
And you will feel your homeless and penniless and old.
But sweetness, peace and comfort, will lift your painful sigh.
And through the upper window you'll see me standing by.














There is A Comfort

1. Many people are weary, all across this great land.
Cause there's so much trouble on every hand.
Though the storms of this life, often darken our view,
But there is a comfort, in the one I hold too.

Chorus:
Oh the Lord is my Comfort (Oh the Lord is My Comfort)
He'll guide me safe through (He'll guide me safe through)
All the trouble and trials (all the troubles and trials)
That we all must go through
He's the Rose of Sharon, my rod and my shield.
Oh the Lord is my comfort (Oh the Lord is my Comfort)
And the one I hold too (and the one I hold too)

2. There were three Hebrew Children. In the fire they were thrown,
for they would not bow on their knees to the King.
But there was a comfort in the midst of the flames.
It was my precious Lord and the one I hold to.

I'll Understand it in the By and By

1. Often made to wander along life's way (I wander)
As I meet with heartaches from day to day (I wander)
Why the fathers feeling that we should die (I'll tell you brother)
I'll understand it in the by and by.

Chorus:
Up there in the morning, up there in my new home (with Jesus)
I'll know why oh why these troubles and heartaches come.
With my loved one (my friends) up in the sky.
(I'll tell you brother) I'll understand it in the by and by.

2. I don't know why mother was called away (to heaven)
neither while my father is stooped and gray (and gray)
All the ties are broken, I know not why (I'll tell you brother)
I'll understand it in the by and by.

3. Why the blessed Savior came down to earth (I wander)
Left his home in glory with untold worth (up there)
for a world of sinners he chose to die (I'll tell you brother)
I'll understand it in the by and by.


I'm So Glad He Found Me

1. I was on the mountain,
Wandering from the Fountain,
When I heard my Savior speak to me.
He said, "Come to me relenting,
And of your sins repenting;
And I will lead you out where you can see."

Chorus
And Im so glad He found me, in love He bound me
With His arms all around me;
And He led me to that Shelter, and, now, Im one of His own.
And, oh, the joy in knowing, with hearts a glowing,
Someday, Im going. To my home, my home in Glory,
And walk those streets paved with gold.

2. Now, I will love Him ever
And I'll stray from Him no never,
For Hes the dearest friend I ever knew.
And when I see Him yonder,
My love will still grow fonder,
In that happy land beyond the blue.

I Believe Hes Coming Back

1. High upon a mountain
From where He ascended,
An angel of the Lord declared that it would be.
He said dont stand there grieving,
For the one that you see leaving,
In like manner Hes coming back for you and me.

Chorus
And I believe Hes coming back like He said.
I believe the trumpets gonna sound so loud,
one day itll wake the dead.
And in the twinkling of an eye,
He will split the eastern sky,
And I believe Hes coming back just like He said.

2. I believe the time is nearing,
That well soon see His appearing;
Well this could be the hour the hour,
and this could be the day.
When the saints of every nation
will lose their gravitation,
And in the middle of the air be caught away.







The Sun's Coming Up In The Morning

1. Once again, I faced Satan this morning,
And I battled him all the day long.
But in my weakness, God sent reinforcements,
And at sundown, I sang Victory's Song.

Chorus:
Oh, the sun's coming up in the morning,
Every tear will be gone from my eye.
This old clay's gonna give way to Glory,
And, like an eagle, I'll take to the sky.

2. In a world, filled with doubts and confusion,
It's so hard when you don't understand.
Oh, but I'll stand on a Solid Foundation,
And I'll hold to God's Unchanging Hand.

He's Still In the Fire

1. My mama read a story about the Bible long ago,
About Shadrach, Meshach, and old Abednego;
How the wicked king commanded they be thrown into the flame,
Because they wouldn't bow and then deny their Father's name.

2. Mama said the king stood high upon a balcony so tall,
When he looked in he was shocked by all the things he saw;
He thought that he would find them lying dead upon the ground,
But instead of three he counted four up walking all around.

3. Then I said "Mama, wait a minute, there's one thing that I must know, If
three went in and three came out, then where'd the fourth man go?" And
I never will forget it, as Mama danced across the floor, These are the
words I heard her say while shouting through the door.

Chorus:
She said, He's still in the fire and He's walking in the flame,
And He'll be there to help you when you call in Jesus' name;
And he can still deliver by His almighty power,
While here below it's good to know He's still in the fire.

4. Now my friends you may be destined to face life's hottest flame,
But I'm glad that I can tell you thru the power of His name;
Not one flame of fire will touch you, you'll come thru it and you'll tell,
Yesterday, today, forever, God is still alive and well.


Every Hour and Every Day
1. Once in the stillness of the late midnight hour,
I felt the presence of the Lord's saving power.
I fell on my knees, and cried to Him there.
Oh, merciful Savior, hear a lost sinner's prayer

Chorus:
Well, every hour and every day,
Well, every moment, in every way;
I'm leaning on Jesus, the rock of my soul,
I'm singing His praises wherever I go.

2. I'll never forget that night down on my knees,
The joy of that hour, has never left me.
It's life sweetest memory that time can't erase.
I filled with His mercy, I'm redeemed by His grace.

In The Sky

1. There is a day thats, oh, so near,
when our dear Savior will appear,
Well meet with loved ones, oh, so dear, In the sky;
Well go to receive our just reward,
Enjoying what heaven shall afford,
Sing praises to Christ, on one accord, glory to share.

Chorus:
(In the sky) Up in the beautiful sky
(Never shall die) Never, no never shall die,
God, Himself, shall wipe the tears all away;
Im longing to see that Holy One,
God, the Father, and the Son,
Battles with Satan will all be won in the sky.

2. Jesus, dont tarry your coming too long,
Gabriel, get ready to play your song,
Angels, make room around the throne, well soon be there;
My spirit is longing to be free,
For Jesus is coming after me,
Praise God! Ill live eternally in the sky.




Thank You For The Roses

1. For all the pretty sun sets and each peaceful stream
For every little song bird you send my way to see.
And in my barren desert where nothing else grows
Even in the valleys you still give me a rose,
you still give me a rose.

Chorus:
Lord thank you for the roses you place in my life
For the old fashion preacher who carried the light
For peace and contentment in a world filled with strife.
Lord thank you for the roses you place in my life.
You place in my life.

2. For the freshness of the morning and the cool of the day
For the place in my memory you washed my sins away
For your precious Holy Spirit that I feel down in my soul
Thats worth more to me than every other rose, than every other rose

IVE GOT A HOME OVER THERE

1. My home may not look like a castle
And diamonds and riches I dont own
But I am an heir to a kingdom
Where the streets over there are pure gold
And I may not look like a kings child
As my clothes are tattered and worn
But Ill wear a white robe in glory
And it's made by the masters own hand

Chorus:
Yes Ive got a home a over there
All the splendors of heaven will be mine
The walls made of jasper and the gates of pearl
These eyes shall forever behold
and on the streets of that city,
my Savior is the Light forevermore.
so my residence here is temporary
because I've got a home over there.

2. This body may be worn and weary
in the service working for my Lord.
but I have been promised a new one
it's glorified and will never grow old.
the finest food may not be on my table
but there's a supper I am going to attend
and Jesus Himself is gonna serve me
for we're the bride and He is the groom









Until You've Known the Love of God

1. If you could own all the world and it's money,
Build castles tall enough to reach the sky above;
If you could know everything there was to know about life's game,
Yet you've known nothing until you've known God and His love.

Chorus:
Until you've known the loving hand that reaches down to a fallen man
and lifts him up from out of sin where he has trod;
Until you've known just how it feels to know that God is really real;
Then you've known nothing until you've known the love of God.

2. If in your lifetime you could meet ev'rybody
and you could call on every name from here to yon;
but if you've not come face to face with Jesus and His saving grace,
Then you've known nothing until you've known God and His love.

















The Hem of His Garment

1. A woman one day tried many physicians
But daily grew worse in the Bible we're told
But when she had heard, she came to Jesus
And she found what she needed for her body and soul

Chorus:
If I could just touch the hem of His garment
If I could just touch some part of His clothes
I know I'd be healed, my sins are forgiven
If I could just touch Him, I know I'd be whole

2. Blind Bartimus sat by the wayside begging
Nobody to help him down life's weary way
Then Jesus passed by and He heard His sad crying
He reached down His hand and He healed Him that day

3. One day I sat by the wayside begging
Nobody to help me down life's weary way
Then Jesus came by and He heard my sad crying
He reached down His hand and He saved me that day
In My Robe of White
1. First I'll hear the trumpet sound then all the saints will be heaven bound.
We will cross over Jordan wide, stop and view the other side.
Then I'll see those Holy Hills, and my mansion He has built.
I'll be the first one in the line, gonna see my name in the Book of Life.
Chorus:
In my robe of white, I will fly away.
To that land so fair, meet my Jesus there.
It will be so grand, when I get to that land.
In my robe of white, I will fly away.

2. It's gonna be a wonderful time when I get to the other side.
See my loved ones gone before, we'll depart from them no more.
We'll be walking on the streets of gold, surrounded by riches untold.
When I first look on Jesus face, I'll know I've been saved by His Amazing
Grace.
He Didn't Move Mount Calvary
1. At midnight in a garden, with soul in agony.
Jesus cried our Father, let this cup pass from me.
Up ahead he saw a mountain, where Heaven and hell would meet.
A hill he knew He could not move, a hill called Calvary.

Chorus:
And I'm so glad He didn't move Mount Calvary
So glad that day He did not say, Depart, be cast into the sea.
The cross, the crown, the blood stained brow, the plan that set men free.
Jesus carried through, cause He refused to move a hill called Calvary.

2. At the sound of His voice the dead receive new life,
At the touch of His hand, blind eyes received their sight,
and when He stepped out on the water, the raging storm stood still.
Skies turned blue and mountains moved according to His will.

Walking Back Down
1. Ive spent a lot of time, Down through the years,
Walking up Calvary's hill
And Im so glad theres a cross that I can go to
When I have a need to be filled
The steps that I take are all worth the climb
Cause at the top theres Jesus the Lamb and He trades all
My fears I bring up to the cross for victory to carry back down.

Chorus:
Ive spent a lot of time at Calvary
Kneeling before the Lamb
His blood makes everything whiter than snow
When I come just as I am
And as I am walking back down Calvarys hill
My feet are not touching the ground
For the heart that was burdened on my way up
Is shouting victory walking back down

2. When I walk up the hill to Calvary
The reasons are different each time
I may need forgiveness or just to be lifted up or
I might need healing divine
But when I walk up that hill with my load of despair
And lay it down at the feet of the Lamb then the heart
That was burdened on my way up
Is shouting victory walking back down
He's Coming Again
Chorus:
He's coming again, He's coming again.
Changed in a moment, like Him we shall be.
It seems I can hear, the great trumpet sounding.
To the splendors of Heaven, I know he'll welcome me.

1. He went to prepare a mansion in glory,
I'm waiting to claim it, when this life is o'er.
So lift up your head redemption is nearing,
we'll soon be with Jesus on Heaven's fair shore.

2. I'd like to be here to see Him descending,
what joy that will be to rise up in the air,
and greet our dear Lord, oh what a glad meeting,
with Jesus forever on heaven's fair shore.
