  4. My Heart is a Chapel

    My heart is a chapel
    And the Lord is always there
    When I walk He walks beside me
    My thoughts are his to share.
    My cupboard may be empty
    But my heart is never bare
    For my heart is a chapel
    And the Lord is always there
    Well my heart is a chapel
    And the Lord is always there.
    Each day to me is Sunday
    Each day I say a prayer.
    That’s when I count my blessings
    I find them everywhere
    For my heart is a chapel
    And the Lord is always there
  5. If You Know The Lord

    If you know the Lord you need nobody else
    To see you through the darkest night.
    You can walk alone you only need the Lord
    He’ll keep you on the road marked right
    Take time to pray everyday
    And when you’re headin’ home
    He’ll show you the way
    If you know the Lord you need nobody else
    To see the light His wonderful light
  6. Climbing Higher and Higher

    (verse 1)

    Once I was sinking in sin
    My soul was troubled within.
    A ladder was sent down from heaven
    After my sins were forgiven.
    Started out for higher ground
    To climb the ladder round by round.
    Well I’m climbing higher and higher
    And I won’t come down

    (verse 2)

    First round was regeneration.
    The second round justification.
    The third a happy confession
    Then the Holy Ghost took possession.
    The next round was great tribulation
    That led your soul to glorification.
    Well I’m climbing higher and higher
    And I won’t come down.
    I’m gonna climb till I pass
    The sun, moon and stars
    Jupiter, Venus, Neptune and Mars.
    Bid farewell to this old house of clay
    And then I’ll go a runnin’
    Up the milky white way

    First heaven … I’m climbing round by round
    Second heaven … I’m so high I’ll never come down
    Oh Lordy … Still climbing round by round
    I’m climbing for higher ground.

    I’m gonna climb till I pass
    The sun, moon and stars
    Jupiter, Venus, Neptune and Mars.
    Bid farewell to this old house of clay
    And then I’ll go a runnin’
    Up the milky white way

    First heaven … I’m climbing round by round
    Second heaven … I’m so high I’ll never come down
    Whooo … still climbing round by round
    Climbing for higher ground.
  7. I Know The Lord

    I know the Lord (I know my blessed Lord)
    My King (My Lord and King for he)
    Fill my soul with heaven and love
    In true accord (in true accord with Him)
    I sing (because true joy has been given)
    Unto my poor dying soul

    Though others may come (my friends may come and go)
    And go (they change from friend to foe)
    Christ my Lord will never leave me
    For he loves me so
    I know the Lord (I know my blessed Lord)
    And I’ll (while I am in this world)
    Ever His name extol

    What a wonderful thought (wonderful thought)
    That I know my blessed Lord
    And that I am acquainted (He is my friend)
    And I love His holy word

    What His knowledge has brought (what He has brought)
    Cannot be told by man (by mortal man)
    Well I know my dear Lord (my Savior, my dearest friend)
    And He is now my friend (my dearest friend)
  8. Swinging on the Golden Gate

    (verse 1)

    Don’t cha know
    That I met my mother this morning
    She was climbing up the hill so slowly
    Don’t cha know she was trying to get
    To heaven in due time
    Just before that heaven door closed.
    Knock Knock Knock Knock
    Where ya goin’ mama
    Tell me where ya going I said
    She said I’m on my way to glory and
    I’ll meet you resurrection day
    Then I heard her say wake me shake me
    Don’t you let me sleep too late
    Wake up judgment morning
    Swingin’ on the golden gate.
    Don’t cha know we’re gonna
    Wake up wake up swing on the golden gate

    (verse 2)

    (same as verse 1 except [father])

    (verse 3)

    Don’t cha know
    That I met my sister about twelve o’clock
    She said brother I ain’t got time to stop
    I’m on my way to heaven to sing and shout
    There’ll be nobody there to turn me out
    She said wake me in the morning
    Wake me in the morning
    Wake me in the morning and let me
    Swing on the golden gate

    We’re gonna swing on the golden gate
    (repeat 4 times)

    We’re gonna wake up on judgment mornin’
    And swing on the golden gate
  9. The Old-Fashioned Meeting

    (verse 1)

    Oh how well do I remember
    In the old fashioned days
    The old fashioned people
    They had some old fashioned ways
    In those old fashioned meetings
    As they tarried there
    In an old fashioned manner
    How God answered their prayer

    (chorus)

    Twas an old fashioned meeing
    In an old fashioned place
    Where some old fashioned people
    Had some old fashioned grace
    As an old fashioned sinner I began to pray
    And God heard me and saved me
    In an old fashioned way

    (verse 2)

    They were singing songs o f praise
    Amazing grace how sweet the sound
    And the old account was settled
    And my name was written down
    I was saying yes to Jesus when the fire fell that day
    And God he heard me and he saved me in the old fashioned way
  10. There's a God Somewhere

    Each day the sun comes out to shine
    The stars and moon they leave on time
    The winds they blow we listeth where
    We breathe the living air
    The flowers grow and do not toil
    They do not spin or work at all
    The birds they live and get their care
    So there must be a God somewhere

    (chorus)

    Well there’s a God somewhere
    There’s a God somewhere
    He helps me when my load is hard to bear
    When I rise from dark despair and
    Surmount my every care
    My heard tells me surly there is a God somewhere
  11. Lead Me, Guide Me

    I am weak and I need thy strength and power
    To guide me over my way, way this hour
    Lead me through the dark valleys
    And or my way
    Oh lead me oh Lord lead me

    Lead me guide me, along the way
    Lord if you lead me I will not stray
    Lord let me walk, with thee
    Lead me oh Lord, lead me.
  12. Walk With Me

    Walk with me walk with me
    Lest mine eyes no longer see
    All the glory all the story of Your love.
    Talk to me talk to me like You spoke so tenderly
    When You walked there
    When You talked there by the sea.

    (chorus)

    Let me follow in the footsteps
    That trod the shore of Galilee.
    And let me learn to pray like He prayed
    In the garden of Gethsemane
    Take my hand, take my hand
    Teach me Lord to understand
    All the duty all the beauty of Your love
  13. Oh the Glory Did Roll

    (verse 1)

    I was kneeling one day (I was kneeling one day)
    Asking God to forgive me (humbly I prayed)
    I was deep in despair (I was deep in despair)
    Had no peace within (had no peace within)
    I surrendered my all (I surrendered my all)
    Unto Jesus the Savior (Praise His dear name)
    Then the glory came down (then the glory came down)
    I was saved from sin

    (chorus)

    Oh the glory did roll (oh the glory did roll)
    I was happy and free (I was happy and free)
    I had heard a sweet voice (I had heard a sweet voice)
    Speak pardon to me (speak pardon to me)
    Such a wonderful joy (such a wonderful joy)
    When the Savior in love (when the Savior in love)
    Saved me from all sin (saved me from all sin)

    (verse 2)

    I will praise His dear name (I will praise his dear name)
    For the wonderful victory (down in my soul)
    And the joy in my heart (and the joy in my heart)
    All along the way (all along the way)
    I am longing to see (I am longing to see)
    Heaven’s glorious city (streets of pure gold)
    And to hear the Lord call (and to hear the Lord call)
    Come and live for e’er
  14. Oh! What a Time

    Words and Music by:
    Lucy Collier Matthews

    Oh my Lord, what a time, mm-hum
    Oh my Lord, what a time
    From this old world we'll flee
    To live eternally
    Oh my Lord, what a time
    (Repeat 2 times)

    In that fair land there will be no more night
    No sun or moon, for the Lamb of God is light
    It's good to know that he's prepared the way
    To a bright and endless day

    From this old world (from this old world we'll flee)
    We're gonna live (to live eternally)
    With Christ (with Christ our blessed Lord)
    In a home on high (in a heavenly home on high)
    We'll shout (we'll shout), And sing (and sing)
    We'll walk (we'll walk), And talk (and talk)
    We'll shout (we'll shout), And sing (and sing)
    We'll walk (we'll walk), And talk (and talk)
    We'll shout (we'll shout), And praise His name
    Every day (every day will be the same)
    Oh my Lord, My burden bearer
    My help in trouble, My joy in sorrow
    My light in darkness, My sword and shield
    Oh my Lord, what a time
    (Repeat chorus 3 times)
