Wedding Music
Words & Music by Kirk Talley
Copyright 1991 Kirk Talley Music Co/BMIIs that wedding music I hear
The Bride’s adorned and ready to appear
There’s heavenly preparation
For the wedding celebration
Is that wedding music I hearThe family is preparing for a wedding
All have been invited to attend
The Bride is standing ready
Waiting for the signal
When the Groom says
Rise my children come on inSoon we'll rise to leave this land of sorrow
For that ceremony in the air
The Father then will lead us
Thru the Holy Land of splendor
Have you made your preparation
To go there -
Step Into the Water
Words & Music by Kirk Talley
Copyright 1981 Homeward Bound Music
Copyright 1984 Assigned to Kirk Talley MusicStep into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Wet your feet in the water
Of His love
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Come join angels singing
Praises to the Lamb of GodIt's time we the people
Stand up for what is right
It is time we squared our shoulders back
Raised our swords to fight
For the Bible is my weapon
And the Spirit is my shield
The church needs more of its members
To be workers in the fieldThere is victory for the Christian
Who walks the narrow way
There has been a prize appointed
For the soul who does not stray
Oh, I want to live for Jesus
Be all that I should be
So that I can rest with Him forever
Live eternally -
Boundless Love

He will never fail you
When the doubts assail you

I Thirst
Words & Music by Bev Lowry
Verse One
One day I came to Him
I was so thirsty
I asked for water
My throat was so dry
He gave me water
I had never dreamed of
But for this water
My Lord had to dieChorus
He said “I thirst”
Yet He made the rivers
He said “I thirst”
Yet He made the sea
“I thirst” said the King of the ages
In His great thirst
He brought water to meVerse Two
Now there’s a river
That flows as clear as crystal
It comes from God’s throne above
And like a river
It wells up inside me
Bringing mercy and life giving love -
Medley: This Ole House / When the Saints Go Marchin' In
Words & Music by Stuart Hamblen
Copyright 1954 Hamblem Music Co (ASCAP)Verse 1
This ole house once knew my children
This ole house once knew my wife
This old house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This ole house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the night wind walks aboutChorus
Ain’t a gonna need this house no longer
Ain’t a gonna need this house no more
Ain’t got time to fix the shingles
Ain’t got time to fix the floor
Ain’t got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend the window pane
Ain’t a gonna need this house no longer
I’m getting ready to meet the saintsVerse 2
This ole house is a gettin shaky
This ole house is a gettin old
This ole house lets in the rain
This old house lets in the cold
On my knees I’m gettin chilly
But I feel no fear of pain
Cause I see an angel peekin
Through a broken window pane -
Champion of Love
Words & Music by Phil & Carolyn Cross
Copyright 198 Love Song Press BMIVerse 1
Ladies and gentlemen
May I have your attention
I want to introduce to you
In this corner, of the good and the right
Stands a champion, robed in white
His height exceeds the heavens
His weight outweighs the world
His reach reaches everywhere
His age is evermoreChorus
He is higher than the highest
Greater than the great
No one will ever take His crown away
He’s more mighty than the mightiest
He reigns from above
He’s the all-time undisputed, undefeated
Champion of LoveVerse 2
He left His hometown
To enter this arena
To raise His hands in victory for me
An angry crowd crucified
This King who wore their crown
And they gladly watched their champion going down
But I will never count Him out
For I’m a witness of
The day He rose to retain the title
Champion of Love -
I'm Gonna Live Forever
Words & Music by Shirley Cantrell
Copyright 1981 Homeward Bound Music BMIChorus
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna die no never
Jesus died on a tree for me
And I’m gonna live foreverVerse 1
I know my name may never be
Hung in lights upon a marquee
Because Jesus Christ hung on a tree
I’m gonna live forever
King of the Jews the cross proclaimed
While those around Him mocked His name
It was for me that He bore all the shame
So I could live foreverVerse 2
I know my name will never be
Written down in history
But Jesus wrote my name in the book of life
And that’s enough for me
Someday He’s coming back again
And nothing for me will be the same
I’ll have a new body and a brand new name
I’m gonna live forever -
Can He, Could He, Would He

Coryright 1986 Ariose Music, ASCAP & Bug & Bear Music, ASCAPChorus
Oh, can He (can He save me)
Could He (could He love me)
Would He (would He take me)
Did He (did He really)
Can He could He would He
Yes He can He could He would

From the moment I heard about the Lord and His word
Well it seemed a bit too good to be true
There were questions and doubts
I tried to figure them out
But the best that I could do
Was to wander around in the love that I found
Until my questions started answering themselves
Singing, Can He could He would He
Yes He can He could He would
And He didRepeat Chorus
Verse 2
You can say you don’t know it’s necessarily so
Like somebody said it once in a song
You can think what you choose but let me tell you the news
The Lord has loved you all along
So if you're asking again well the doubts never end
Simply trust Him and you’ll see for yourself
Singing, Can He could He would He
Yes He can He could He would
And He did -
Wonderful Grace of Jesus
Words & Music by Haldor Lillenas
Copyright 1918 Renewal 1946 Hope Publishing Co, Carol Stream, ILWonderful grace of Jesus
Greater than all my sin
How shall my tongue describe it
Where shall its praise begin
Taking away my burden
Setting my spirit free
For the wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaches meChorus
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea
Higher than the mountain
Sparkling like a fountain
All sufficient grace for even me
Broader than the scope of my transgressions
Greater far than all my sin and shame
Oh magnify the precious name of Jesus
Praise His nameWonderful grace of Jesus
Reaching the most defiled
By its transforming power
Making him God’s dear child
Purchasing peace and Heaven
For all eternity
And the wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaches me -
Sinner Saved By Grace
If you could see what I once was
If you could go with me
Back to where I started from
Then I know you would see
A miracle of love that took me in it's sweet embrace
And made me what I am today
Just an old sinner saved by grace.I'm just a sinner saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take
Loved and forgiven
Back with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by graceHow could I boast of anything I've ever seen or done?
How could I dare to claim as mine the victories God has won?
Where would I be had God not brought me gently to this place?
I'm here to say I'm nothing but a sinner saved by grace
I'm just a sinner saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom with each breath of life I take
Loved and forgiven
Back with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace -
An Old Convention Song
Words & Music by Tim Loveless & Roger Jerry Powell
Copyright 1988 Homeward Bound Music BMIWe used to come from miles around
Have dinner on the ground
Underneath those old shade trees
And sing the old songs in shaped notes
In four part harmony
Like “He Set Me Free” and “He’ll Pilot Me”
Any “Anywhere Is Home”
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song
I still (I still) love to hear (love to hear) those old convention songs
That I heard (that I heard) as a child (just a little child) as we sing them all day long
Like “I’m Gonna Walk and “Just A LittleTalk”
And “All The Day Long”
How long has it been since you heard an old convention songGospel songs today have a lot to say
They lift you up when you're feeling down
Some have a country flavor
Some have a modern sound
They all serve a need of planting seeds
So I know they can’t go wrong
But there is none so dear as when I hear
An old convention songChorus
How long (how long) has it been
Since you heard “After Awhile”
How long (how long) since you heard “Give The World A Smile”
How long (how long) since you heard “I’m Winging My Way Back Home”
How long has it been since you heard an old convention song -
Mexico
Words & Music by LaVerne Isbell
Copyright 1982 Onward Bound MusicI went down to Mexico to have a little fun
To hang around and see the town
And lie out in the sun
As I walked along one evening
Just outside of town
I passed a little chapel and I heard a pretty soundCuriosity carried me in to stay awhile
And I heard things I hadn't heard
Since I was a child
They sang about God’s saving grace
Right there in that little place
I found Jesus down in MexicoI know that I never shall forget
All the pretty things I found in Mexico and yet
The most beautiful and precious ever told
Was salvation that I found in MexicoI may never see that little Spanish town again
But I’ll always think of it as when my life began
Ev’ry day I’m lifted up just knowing that I’m saved
I don’t have to worry about life beyond the grave
I’m depending on God’s power
To keep me safe through every hour
Eternity is beautiful to me
I have a better life I know
I tell it everywhere I go
I found Jesus down in Mexico -
God Delivers Again
Words & Music by Ronald Michael Payne
Copyright 1980 Homeward Bound MusicVerse 1
Standing there at the Red Sea
God’s people began to complain,
"Soon Pharaoh and his mighty army
Will take us in bondage again."
"Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord," Moses cried
Then God parted the waters
And they crossed to the other sideChorus
God delivers again
Oh my God delivers again
Just when things look hopeless
He reaches down His hand
Then all the forces of evil
Have to flee at His command
Just when things look hopeless
My God delivers againVerse 2
"We’ll never bow to your idols,"
The three Hebrew children proclaimed
So the king gave the command to
Throw them into the flame
The king said, "Did we not cast three men into the furnace bound?
I see four men loose in the fire unhurt and they’re walking around."Repeat Chorus

Yesterday
Words & Music by George Younce
Chorus
Yesterday things were different
Today they’re different again
Jesus will never never change
Jesus is always the sameVerse 1
The sparrow will find a new dwelling
The eagle will change his nest
But I’m holding on to the changeless one
And I’m leaning on His breastVerse 2
A river will change its course
And mountains may crumble and fall
Time will leave its mark they say
Upon us one and all -
Life Will Be Sweeter Someday
Arranged by David Reese
Verse 1
Jesus said I believe Him
Life will be sweeter someday
I’m gonna trust Him
Never doubt Him
No matter what the folks may say
Can’t turn away from Him lightly
Because the joys of Heaven I’ll miss
For I will live on up in Glory after awhile
After awhileChorus
Don’t you know I’m gonna sing, sing
With the angels above
I’m gonna talk, talk
To the ones that I love
I’m gonna tell Him
About my troubles
After awhile, after awhileVerse 2
Oh well, I’m gonna march, march
Down the streets of pure gold
I’m gonna talk, talk
To the prophets of old
I’ll be happy up in Glory
After awhile, after awhileRepeat Chorus

Moving Up to Gloryland
Words & Music by Lee Roy Abernathy
Copyright 1983 Lee Roy AbernathyVerse 1
I love to think about a paradise
Somewhere beyond the blue
A mansion waiting in the eastern skies
May be next door to you
We’ll go parading through the distant stars
Right down the Milky Way
The planets Jupiter and Neptune and Mars
Won’t even be half wayChorus
Moving moo-oo oov-ing
Moving up to Gloryland
Moving moo-oo oov-ing
Holding to His nail-scarred hands
Don’t know when I’m leaving
But I’m ready to go
When I get to Heaven
I’ll be welcome I know
Moving moo-oo oov-ing
Moving up to GlorylandVerse 2
I made my reservation long ago
The day I gave up sin
And when my mansion’s ready this I know
I’m gonna move right in
I have a vision of a happy place
Where friends and loved ones meet
Right on the corner of Love Avenue
And Hallelujah Street -
Plan of Salvation
Words & Music by Ruby Moody
Copyright 1986 Yellow House Music ASCAPChorus
I want to thank Jesus
For the plan of salvation
Just to say, Lord I love you
For you understand
I want to be there on
That great judgment morning
To touch all the nail prints
In his feet and his handsVerse 1
One morning at day break
A crowd slowly gathered
They were walking my Lord up
Old Calvary’s hill
So sad was the scene there
The birds hushed their singing
Like a Lamb He was humbled
To His Father’s own willRepeat Chorus

We Shall See Jesus
Words & Music by Dianne Wilkinson
Copyright 1983 Homeward Bound MusicOnce on a hillside
People were gathered
Hoping to see Him
As thousands were fed
He touched the blind eyes
Healed broken spirits
Moved with compassion
He raised up the deadOnce on a hillside
People were gathered
Watching as Jesus was crucified
No one showed mercy
To the One who had healed them
Yet Jesus loved them
As he suffered and diedOnce on a hillside
People were gathered
For Jesus had risen
And soon would ascend
Then as He blessed them
He rose to the heavens
And gave them this promise
To come back againWe shall see Jesus
Just as they saw Him
There is no greater
Promise than this
When He returns in
Power and Glory
We shall see Jesus
Just as He is -
Oh, What a Savior (Live)
Words & Music by Marvin P Dalton
Copyright Stamps Quartet Music BMIVerse 1
Once I was straying
In sin’s dark valley
No hope within could I see
But they searched through Heaven
And found a Savior
To save a poor lost soul like meChorus
O what a Savior
O Hallelujah
His heart was broken
On Calvary
His hands were nail scared
His side was riven
He gave His life’s blood for even meVerse 2
Death’s chilly waters
I’ll soon be crossing
But His hand will lead me safely o’er
Then I’ll join that chorus
In that great city
I’ll sing up there forever and ever moreRepeat Chorus

He Made a Change (Live)
Words and Music by: Ernie Haase and Joel Lindsey
© 1998 Bridge Building/BMI/New Spring/ASCAP. All rights reserved. Used by permission.When Paul met the Lord on Damascus Road
He never was the same again
When Peter met the Lord He left his boat
And started fishing for men
Well, I may not be Peter or PaulBut one thing I can truly say
When I met the Lord and made Him my choice
He definitely made a changeCHORUS
He made a change
He made a change in the way that I'm walking
He made a change
He made a change in the way that I'm talking
Old things pass away, behold everything's new
He made a change
He made a change in the life that I'm living
I'm born again, set free, finally forgiven
If He can make a change in me, He can make a change in youWell, well, well I've seen some old friends shaking their heads
'Cause they never thought they'd see the day
When a sinner like me would praise the Lord
Or bow my head to pray
Well, I'm not what I used to be
You see my life has been rearranged
Well there's nothing that I've done, but I have found Someone
Who definitely made a changeREPEAT CHORUS 2X
