Dedication

This book is dedicated to four different people…

First and always Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior who is actually the true author of all my works, for it is he who gives me the talent, knowledge, and all ability I possess. So therefore I dedicate this book to him first.

Secondly I dedicate this book to my dad, Dan. Who I love with all my heart. A man who I never really knew until I left home and found out just how much he loves me.

Thirdly I dedicate this book to my mom, Carol. Who has put up with me through it all, and loved me anyway. Never gave up on me, and even when I didn’t deserve it, appreciated my efforts of music (in her own words, “yep, pretty good”).

Last, but most definitely not least, I dedicate this book to my loving wife, Sherri. One who tries to understand me. Puts up with my attitudes, frustrations, anticipation’s, and failures; and occasionally her understanding pays off. In times like these (as well as all the other times) when she is espically proud of me.

THANK YOU

Danny

 

Introduction

This is a compiled group of original works written by Rev. Daniel A. Brown III.

We have arranged these works in semi-chronological order, according to the date each was written, (some are in order as to when they were completed as a musical composition, so the dates may not always be exactly in order). Placing them in semi-chronological order will allow you the reader to follow along with the life and experiences of the author. Through reading this book the authors life will unfold before your eyes. You will see first hand the personal joy’s and pains, strengths and weaknesses, struggles, failures and victories.

Although the details of Danny’s life are not a part of this book, you will readily see and understand his feelings, convictions, and attitudes as they are reflected through his songs.

Danny started writing when he was 19 years old, and had been playing in Gospel singing groups since he was 13. He has gone through many changes; from musician, to singer, to evangelist, to youth pastor, to husband, to dad, to pastor, all during the course of the writings contained in this book. Thus these writings will allow you to appreciate the way in which Jesus, our LORD, who lives in Danny, flows out to others through his pen.

We personally want to thank you for choosing this publication, and taking the time to sit down and read it. We sincerely hope that this will be an encouragement and a source of strength, as you read and enjoy this collection.

Legion Of Angels 1

 

I know there are times

when Satan is tempting you

and you feel you just can’t win

Oh but in your darkest hour

just pray for God’s power

He’ll send a legion of angels

then you can win

 

He’ll send a legion of angels

to watch over you

A legion of angels

to carry you through

When earth’s seas are raging

you need help there’s no doubt

He’ll send a legion of angels

to pull you out

 

God’s word says were not fighting

against flesh and blood

but principalities and powers of this world

Oh so without one doubt

in ourselves there’s no power

But when we call

on his wonderful name

 

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

March 10, 1986

When I wrote Legion of Angels” I was following the hearse, from Caledonia Assembly of God Church to the Lost Creek Cemetery near Berryman MO, to bury my Grandma Brown. She had been very Ill with cancer for quite some time, so her death came as no surprise. But I, having been so close to her, was taking it rather hard. She was the first person close to me to die. However while driving to the committal service, God gave me a personal promise in the words of this song, “I’ll send a legion of angels, to carry you through”.

I believe God had his hand on me and on everything surrounding me on this very special day. Oh, it was a difficult day to get through indeed. But on the other hand, this was a colossal turning point in my life. For with one moment of inspiration, through my own weakness, I found purpose. If I would not have been so distraught emotionally and only about half thinking, I would have never picked up a pen and started writing down the words that were coming to me. Most of the songs I’ve written were written when I was either to tired to think, or at my wits end emotionally. This first one was not only no exception, it was the example. God always brings out his best, in our worst.

This one experience changed my life more than any other thing I can think of. Through writing “Legion of Angels” God showed me a great part of the call he had placed on my life.

Knowing my Grandma Brown, I’m sure she would have wanted nothing more, than for her grandson to find a key to his spiritual calling through the time of her passing.

Grandma “I LOVE YOU”.

Tell Him How Much You Love Him 2

 

Why don’t you give a little blessing to the Lord today

Let him know how much you love him

He understands every trial we face

leads us through them hand in hand

Though we face a little trial every now and then

he loves us through every one of them

So give a little blessing to the Lord today

let him know how much you love him

 

Come on now pick up your head / stand to your feet

Raise up your hands and start to speak

Thank the Lord for everything he’s done

for making you his son

When the praise starts coming from your lips

you’ll see how light your burden gets

Then your trial will grow so dim

just tell him how much you love him

 

Sometimes we refer to God as love

or as our burden bearer

But in deed we deny his grace and love

for we never kneel in prayer

Whether you stand or sit or jump or crawl

just thank him now for being God

Let him know you know he’s the Lord of all

Tell him how much you love him

I’m Yours Now 3

 

Lord here I am

not much to human eyes

But I know with your touch

you’ll take away my pride

And make me a vessel

that can be used by you

Take my hands to do your will

that your plan I may fulfill

Just take my life and use it

for I’m yours now

 

I’m yours now

my heart my soul my everything

I’m yours now

for me I want nothing

Lord please take away those stains of sin

and let me be your child again

Just take my life and use it

for I’m yours now

 

Lord I know you hear my plea

and all I wish is to be like thee

Just take this clay and mold it

to the image of your face

And if through my life as I walk this road

you can touch one more hungry soul

My labor is not in vain

for I’m yours now

I’ve Been Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb 4

 

Now some folks say

I shouldn’t talk of blood this way

Now that’s bad manners

you just don’t talk about those things

But once you’ve tasted

of that precious crimson flow

You just can’t help it

gotta tell it everywhere you go

 

I’ve been washed in the blood of the lamb

I’ve been saved, filled with the Holy Ghost I am

I am an heir to the God of Abraham

I’ve been washed in the blood of the lamb

 

Oh if your sin sick soul

is aching my dear friend

Just turn to Jesus

tell him all the pain there is

He will wash you

then you to will understand

The blessing there is

in the blood of the lamb

As Long As I Know Jesus 5

 

Some may think I am a pauper

some may think I am a king

Some may praise the ground on which I walk

while others mock my name

But whatever mans opinion is

doesn’t matter after all

Just as long as I know Jesus

and he knows me at judgment call

 

As long as I know Jesus

every things all right with me

There is a crown up there for me

beyond the glassy sea

As long as I know Jesus

every things all right with me

And though I’m poor, I’ve got much more

I’m joint heirs with Christ the King

 

Many a rich man and many a pauper

I may meet from day to day

But if I show them God is love

then maybe they to will say

Come in Lord Jesus and sup with me

just fill my cup I pray

For as long as I know Jesus

everything will be okay

The Songwriters Song 6

Well I’ve sat down on the back porch

many times to write a song

I’d write down all my feelings

but they always came out wrong

I’d tell the folks about Jesus

about the father and the son

I’d write about his promises

and all he’s ever done

 

Then one day I was praying

on my knees before the Lord

I realized that his songs

are anointed by his word

So I read the word and wrote this song

to tell you that he came

He lived and died, was crucified

that you might be redeemed

 

So if you hear my message

fall on your knees and pray

He’ll save your soul, and cleanse your heart

he’ll give you peace today

But please don’t wait to long

for he is surely calling now

His voice is soft and tender

listen to him please somehow

 

For friend the wages of sin are death

but the gift of God is eternal life

Chose this day whom you will serve

make Jesus the Lord of your life

He came he died upon the cross

to save your soul from all it’s loss

If you will ask, he’ll set you free

and you will live eternally

In your heart just believe

and he will set you free

Rolling Down Old Forty 7

 

I was rolling down old Forty

listening to the radio

Didn’t know where I was headed

had no place to go

But as I listened to the words

of a radio song I realized

They were singing about Jesus

and how for me he died

 

Didn’t know the words to the song

so I didn’t sing along

I just kept on driving nowhere

as I listened to the songs

There was something about the message

of the tunes that I recall

Jesus blood can heal my body

and his love would save us all

 

(Power in the blood Chorus)

 

So I gave my life to Jesus

now I know those songs are true

Jesus saved my soul, and made me whole

turned gray skies into blue

Now I’m singing for the master

as on down life’s road I go

And if you’ll give him your life

he’ll wash you white as snow

 

(I believe Jesus saves, and His blood washes whiter than snow)

I’m So Excited 8

 

Do you remember old Daniel

when he was thrown in the lions den

He just kept on a praying

and the lions could not hurt him

For God had shut the mouths of the lions

and they couldn’t even roar

And Daniel went on praying

even more than he did before

 

I’m so excited, I’m excited

I feel like singing

I’m so excited, I’m excited

I’ve just got to praise the Lord

And when we praise him, we start rejoicing

we’ll have that victory

Go get excited, get excited

come and see

 

When the day of Pentecost had fully come

and they were all with one accord

They just kept on a praying

and praising the Lord

There came a sound from Heaven

as a rushing mighty wind

And he filled their utmost being

yes every one of them

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

This song was written while I was playing bass guitar for a gospel singing group in St. Louis MO. The only problem was I had to stand still, not move at all, and play simple base patterns, I was even instructed not to move my lips along with the singers. Well to say the least, my feelings spilled out, and we wound up with, “I’m So Excited”.

I Can’t Wait 9

 

Well when I was but a child

we would sing them good old songs

About Jesus coming back

to take his children home

Now the signs are oh so clear

that that time is drawing near

Soon that day will be here

and I can’t wait

 

I can’t wait,

till I get to the other side

I can’t wait,

in his love I’ll ever abide

When he takes me by the hand

I will join that angel band

To sing praises to the lamb

and I can’t wait

 

Well as Jesus was ascending

up into the clouds of glory

He said comfort one another

with this simple little story

If he went away, he’d come again

and would receive us unto him

I can’t wait till that day

I can’t wait

An Overcomer’s Standing Here 10

 

You say you just don’t know how hard it is

to meet the Devil eye to eye

Don’t you know that he’s defeated

when in Christ’s love ye abide

Though many tears many times

you may have seen me cry

I conquered every trial

when I stood at Jesus side

 

I know I know I surely know

it makes my joy bells ring

No trial can overcome me

when in God’s word I’m standing

So when I feel persuaded

to yield to earthly fears

I confess to everyone around

an Overcomer’s standing here

 

If we ask of the father

for a little piece of bread

Do you think he would give us

a stone instead

Remember Paul and Silas

and I think that you will find

All of Jesus’ answers

keep coming right on time

But Jesus 11

 

Bill collector called today

nothing new he had to say

Except my payments overdue

but that I already knew

It seems my road is full of bends

there’s always something to attend

it seems my trials never end

 

But Jesus, is the answer

when all of mine have failed

And Jesus, is the sea calmer

when my ship has failed to sail

When the mountains to high

or the rivers to wide

it seems I’ve reached the bitter end

Well I don’t know how but Jesus

helps me through it once again

 

Trials surround me on all sides

there are tears in my eyes

On this one thing I can depend

that he is coming back again

And when I think of him returning

then my soul begins to yearning

I see these trials are little things

I Just Must Live For Jesus 12

 

Just why I live for Jesus

some folks just can’t understand

They just don’t know the peace there is

when holding to his hand

They never knelt and prayed at an altar

the way that I once did

They don’t realize that Jesus died

for them that they might live

 

(But) I saw the tree where Jesus bled

and died for all my sins

On that cruel tree he paid the price

now I can have sweet peace within

And if that’s not enough he has promised us

he’d give us everlasting life

I just must live for Jesus

every day of my life

 

As Jesus rose up through the clouds

he said comfort one another with these words

If I go away I will come again

and the story we’ve often heard

But if you fail to heed the masters call

and kneel at an altar of prayer

He’ll come and take his bride away

and you’ll be left in your despair

Lead Me On 13

 

Sometimes I’m low in spirit

sometimes I feel all alone

But when I turn to Jesus he’s always

there to help me through the storm

Though sometimes I can’t see the light of day

He’s there beside me all the way

He meets my need and then he

gently leads me on

 

Lead me on, precious Jesus

Lead me on though the way is rough

For whatever comes my way I know

that you can lead me on

Lead me on, through the midnight

Lead me on, though tears hide the light

Lead me on, Blessed Savior

Lead me on

 

Lord there are things in my life I don’t understand

Things in this life, I can’t comprehend

But by your grace, you’ll see me through

till that day I reign with you

So whether darkness of night, or light of day

I know that you are going to make a way

So answer Lord, please when I pray

for you to lead me on

Let’s Keep Singing 14

Some folks just don’t understand

the change that’s been in me

But though they don’t believe it

it don’t change the facts you see

Christ died upon Mt. Calvary

on the third day rose again

He set me free and I’m gonna sing

and bless his name again

 

I’m so glad that, Jesus found me

I’m so happy, because I’m free

He sent his spirit, it’s dwelling in me

and now I’m shouting victory

Let’s keep singing, keep on shouting

have a little heaven, while were down here

And the road is so much brighter

and our path is full of cheer

 

Now you may think I’m crazy

or maybe just insane

But that really doesn’t matter though

there’s power in Jesus name

And if you don’t receive it

surely death will be your goal

But as for those who still receive

let’s sing before we go

 

He set me free so I can sing

his praises unto him

When I sing his praises

his power comes again

So I’ll sing until old Gabriel

blows his trumpet loud and strong

& When he blows that trumpet lord

the saints are going home

The Fences Are Falling 15

Satan has some strong holds

holding these people down

If they refuse to praise the lord

let the stones make a joyful sound

Jesus is a sure foundation

he’s the rock that won’t roll away

Just turn your eyes to Jesus

say old devil get out of the way

 

You can’t ride on the fences

You can’t ride on the wall

You can’t ride on the fences

for the fence is fixing to fall

Jesus said your either cold or hot

better make your choice today

Better make your choice to serve the Lord

or brother your fixing to pay

 

You’ve been living compromise

exceptions to the rules

Peer pressure all around you

and you don’t know which to choose

Either get right or get left my friend

you’ve got everything to lose

Because if you miss that rapture

you’ll soon be singing the blues

 

Remember Christ the savior

when he cursed that old fig tree

He said if you don’t bare no fruit

you ain’t no good to me

So if that flesh your living in

is just an empty shell

You better get your house in order

so you’ll save your soul from hell

Touch Some Soul Through Me Today 16

 

Headlines read disaster

the world is falling apart

A child far away is dying

and sometimes just of a broken heart

The anchor man says there is no hope

for survivors lost at sea

Our evening news is so depressing

it seems it’s killing you and me

 

Lord please give me eyes to see

me fellow man who’s crying desperately

Let me show their aching wasting soul

you can wash him make him white as snow

Help me not to see his filthy rags

just let me see the pain he has

Just let me be your vessel lord

to touch that soul through me today

 

While there is just no place like home

in this beautiful land of the free

We seem to be so blinded

living in our luxury

Every where it’s all around us

the end times are here right now

How can we justify our blinded eyes

our friends are headed straight for hell

Lord You Are So Loving 17

 

When people don’t understand me

Lord sometimes they take me wrong

His love will always pull me through

He holds my hand and makes me strong

Though Satan come against me

Like a mighty roaring lion

I know from whenst cometh my help

there’s power in Jesus name

 

Lord you are so loving

no man can be so kind

I love you Lord with all my heart

my body soul and mind

Very soon your coming for your bride

with robes of spotless white

And on that white cloud in the sky

to heaven we will fly

 

When Jesus was down here on earth

he went through trials, tribulation, and pain

But his father up in heaven above

gave him all power through his name

Now he’s sitting at his fathers side

at the right hand of the King

Interceding for you and I

He gives us strength when we call his name

PRAISE THE LORD THROUGH THE VALLEYS 18

 

Way down somewhere in my soul there’s a longing

To see Jesus have his way in my life

With every trail that comes my way

He will give me when I pray

The answer to all this worlds pain and strife

 

Prince of peace, God of plenty

From whom all blessings flow

Jehovah God, Lord God almighty

I want the whole wide world to know

Though there (are) mountains, in the way

He will move them when you pray

And praise the Lord, through the valleys

Praise the Lord

 

Oh the friends I meet along this road I’m walking

May not understand, the way I feel inside

and though the road is dark and drear

I’ve a friend who’s always near

He is my closest friend, in him I can abide

If ye abide in me, and I in thee

You have never need to fear

For when the trials come, and the pressure’s on

You will find I’m always near

So keep on walking, down that road,

Until you reach that final goal

And you will find, every time,

On every mountain, you must climb

That I am there, to give you cheer

And blessed strength, in your despair

So just trust in me, Just trust in me

And I’ll be there

HE WILL PERFORM YOUR MIRACLE 19

 

Let me tell you a story, that happened long ago

About Abraham and Sarah, this is how the story goes

Now the lord told old Abraham, your gonna have a son

And Abraham believed it, what the Lord said it would be done

 

Sarah laughed when she heard the news, she said this could not be true

She was at the age of 90, her womb was barren since her youth

But what the Lord said he completed, Sarah’s miracle was done

Abraham fathered many nations, Just as the Lord said would be done

 

Well God knows the miracle, Your looking for today

Turn to him for the answer, he will not turn you away

Don’t speak defeat or faithlessness, believe the word he says and

He will perform your miracle, Just put your trust in Jesus hands

 

Well I was once in bondage, to every person place and thing

I was lost in the dark of night, could not see the light of day

Then I heard Jesus calling me, from the bondage’s of sin

And I gave it all to Jesus, and he gave me peace within

 

He will perform your miracle

He will he said he would

He will perform your miracle

He will don’t ya know he could

If you’ll just ask him believing

It’s already on the way

He will perform your miracle

Just believe him when you pray

One More Time Lord 20

 

Do you recall in

John the twentieth chapter

When the Lord, came unto them

And when they saw him

there in their presence

He spoke peace, peace unto them

 

One more time lord

let us feel your presence

One more time

like you did back then

Just let us feel your

precious Holy Spirit

Moving through our

lives once again

 

If we but get our hearts

in the attitude of worship

and we begin to praise the lord

He’ll send his spirit

into our presence

just like he did on that day before

Written at Bob & Ida Lawson’s at the old upright piano I had put in their living room. We would often have singings and prayer meetings in her living room or out on the porch. What wonderful memories of the power of God saturating the room with his presence. That was truly our prayer, every time we came together, “One More Time LORD”

God Still Saves 21

 

Today I started down

a street I used to trod

I saw that same old crowd

I used to be a part of

I saw their disappointment

their gloom and deep despair

And I prayed to God in heaven

help me to make them aware

 

God still saves, he saves

no matter where you’ve been

He’ll change your life completely

and give you peace within

He’ll take you off that road your walking

with such a heavy load

And put you on the straight and narrow

that will lead to streets of gold

 

Now my friend if your the one

this song was written for

Please listen to it’s message

for it’s meaning is much more

You see streets with signs and pot holes

need repair from day to day

But the message in this song is love

that will never fade away

Let’s Stop … And Thank The Lord 22

 

When lightning strikes, and thunder rolls

it seems this world is growing cold

And when you stop and look around

there’s not a friend that can be found

And when you can’t tell night from day

your answer seems so far away

Just take the time to look up now

cause Jesus is reaching down

 

So let’s STOP! and thank the Lord

for the valleys along the road

And when we thank him, through the testing

he starts to pouring, another blessing

 

You say you don’t quite understand

just how he reaches down his hand

How by giving thanks through trials you face

he gives you this unseeming grace

But just you try it and you’ll find

that it will work time after time

Just take the time to look up now

for Jesus is reaching down

The Captain Is Leading Me Home 23

 

Down Here we go through tribulation

just why we don’t understand

But I know God’s there beside me

for I feel him holding my hand

When it seems I’ve reached the end of my rope

he reaches down and puts me back in the boat

And soon I’ll sail to the other shore

and I’ll praise his name ever more

 

I’m going home some happy day

I will reach that heavenly shore

I’ll have no more pain all sunshine no rain

and I’ll see those who’ve gone on before

And though I’ve been through some rough seas down here

and though I’ve seen the billows grow fierce

My captain has guided my vessel so well

soon I’m gonna’ stand and tell

 

Hey everybody listen to me now

I’ve got somethin’ that I wanna’ tell you about

I’ve come cross the rivers and the seas and oceans

but Jesus helped me keep my ship in motion

No stormy gale no wind to rough

that Jesus couldn’t make a way out for us

Now we’ve nearly made it to that heavenly shore

Let’s praise his name ever more

 

If you see my burdens heavy

I’m cumbered with a load of care

Don’t worry about my burden

my father dries every tear

Just whisper a word of prayer for me

and the master will calm the raging sea

And although the ways been rough and long

I’ll still be singing my song

He’s There 24

 

Where will you go

when the party’s over

To who will you turn

when friends are gone

And loneliness has hovered

all around you

Just call on Jesus

for the strength to carry on

 

He’s there in lonely times

He’s there when you need him

He’s there when all the worlds against you

or you just might need a friend

He’s there through every disappointment

though you stumbled and you fell

He’ll pick you up and start you singing

put a rainbow through your cloud as well

 

So many people in this world

have so much heartache

They just can’t seem to find

which way to go

But if they could only

turn to Jesus

He’d be there friend as on down

life’s road they go

He Has Called Us To His Kingdom 25

 

Some he made apostles

to preach his holy word

Some he made evangelists

to sing and preach from church to church

But to us yes every one and all

he gave a ministry

He has called us to his kingdom

so that men may be set free

 

Now Jesus came from heaven

and he walked among men

He came for our redemption

to fulfill salvation’s plan

He died upon Mt. Calvary

on the third day rose again

He has called us to his kingdom

to win lost souls to him

 

He said, Friends I must go away

to set at my fathers side

He’s up there in that land so fair

my pilot and my guide

He is building me a mansion fair

next to his fathers throne

He has called us to his kingdom

and very soon he’ll take us home

Sinner Please Listen 26

 

We talk down here about troubles

about sins and the things of this life

We see all the heartache and struggle

and we say lord why must we cry

He says there’s a soul out there crying

please give me peace within

So we go on a singing, a teaching, and preaching

so another can make him their friend

 

Oh sinner please listen

if there’s something you’re missing

my Lord has the key for you today

He said he would be there

to answer your prayer

just fall on your knees and pray

If you’ll just ask believing

in your heart you’ll receive him

he’ll come in and make your heart right

He’ll walk there beside you

his big hand to guide you

and give you eternal life

 

We talk down here about mansions

about gold and the things of this life

But there’s only one true satisfaction

that makes you feel good down inside

It’s not found in a bottle, in a pill-box, or wallet

or smoking something just to get high

The only real satisfaction, comes from the action

of making Jesus the Lord of your life

The Painting 27

My friend let me paint a picture

of a man who’s race is run

A warning is in order

if you, know not, God’s son

For the scene upon my canvas

is not pretty to the eye

But if you will heed it’s warning

your soul will never die

You see a man called Christ descended

a long long time ago

He spoke of love and mercy

and of how to free the soul

But they tried and convicted him

they mocked him to shame

He died upon a rugged tree

loving you through all his pain

Now it’s been many years since he was here

and the story is often told

Many won’t receive it

say it happened so long ago

But if you’ll heed this warning

he will save your soul from sin

And when you start believing

you will find true peace within

Now friend you can see the picture

unveiled before your eyes

It has no fancy border

but it brings a soft surprise

If you’ll believe the story

your eyes see, your soul will tell

Though the painting’s rather simple

the message saves your soul from hell

He’s My Friend 28

 

You say it’s hard, to find a real friend

one who’ll stick through thick and thin

When trials come, it seems their all gone

there’s no one to lend a hand

I know a friend who is that real friend

on him you can depend

If you’ll put your trust in this friend

he’ll go with you through the end

 

He’s my friend

when ever I need him

He’s my friend

and he holds my hand

He’s my friend

through the darkness of midnight

He is my closest friend

like no other has ever been

 

In Psalms, the 37th chapter

King David, of old once said

“I have never, seen the righteous forsaken

or their seed, out begging for bread”

So when friends down here they leave you

they may leave you, all alone

Simply put your trust in Jesus

he will never, leave you on your own

Help Me Keep My Eyes Upon You 29

 

Lord you know I have some faults

and oft times they get me down

But as long as I stand beside you

I’m heading for that Higher Ground

I speak your name and your there again

even in my lowest hour

Guiding me so I can see

I’m learning overcoming power

 

Oh Lord I need to feel your touch

the double portion of your grace

I need to feel your nail scarred hands

see the image of your face

Let my soul be endued with power

that comes from God on high

Help me keep my eyes upon you

for you may come back tonight

 

Yes now I can see the answer

to every trial I go through

I just keep my eyes upon his face

his nail scarred hand will lead me through

So Lord take my hand, my heart and soul

until we stroll that golden strand

And when I finally reach that city

I will join that angel band

Never Despair, Jesus Is There 30

 

Are the winds a little gusty

are the waves a little rough

Do you say when your tossed about

the storms just never let up

There’s not a man in all this world

who can calm the winds and still the turmoil

So quit looking for a hero

and let Jesus have control

 

Never despair

Jesus is there

When no one cares

he’ll care for you

Never despair

Jesus is there

When your load’s to hard to bear

he will share it with you

 

There’s no valley that’s to big

there’s no mountain that’s to high

There’s no ocean that’s to far across

or when work cannot be found

God Will Part The Water 31

 

Does Satan come against you

he surround you like a flood

When your trying to walk forward

do you bog down in the mud

Remember that old story

in the Bible it was told

‘Bout Moses and old Israel

and how God let them go

Well Pharaoh had God’s children

in bondage unto him

He would not let them go

so God sent plagues throughout the land

Israel came down to the Red Sea

and they walked right on across

But Pharaoh’s army drowned

for our God let down the walls

God will part the water

Satan’s rolling in on you

He’ll dry up all the mud

so that you can walk on through

When you’ve done all that you can to stand

then he will stand for you

And when you and Jesus stand

old Satan he is through

Well victory can be sung now

by anyone that’s true

Because Satan was defeated

when Christ Jesus died for you

So when that toothless lion

starts roaring, say hey look

Satan your defeated

See here it’s written in the book

I Want To Be A Witness 32

 

There are things which I have done before

things of which I am not proud

When I think of them at night

I don’t sleep, I just toss about

Then I remember how Jesus bled and died

to take away my sin

Those sins are gone, they’re all washed away

he made me a brand new man

 

Lord I want to be a witness

for you, and show your glory

I want to tell the world

just what you’ve done for me

Let some hurting soul hear what I have to say

as I lift up your holy name

Lord I want to be a witness for you

and help my brother through

 

Now when I see someone in sin

I see the load their bearing

And I wish that they could feel the love

with Jesus I am sharing

But can they hear without a preacher

how will they know without they’re told

If we don’t share the love of Jesus

they’ll never walk on streets of gold

Who sought after God’s command

GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS 36

 

We come to church on Sunday morning

kneel to pray, and stand and sing

Listen to a fifteen minute sermon

then we hear that dinner bell ring

We bow our heads, and fold our hands

God is great, God is good Amen

Then it’s back next Sunday morning

to go through the same old thing

 

Well were going through the motions

we’ve got all the right moves

We know where to sit, and where to stand

but it seems were warming the pews

We’ve lost the desire to intercede

and spend time with the Lord down on our knees

While we’re going through the motions

our first love we failed to keep

 

Well we’re proud to claim the Christian name

to friends we meet and see

But our actions speak louder than our words

when you’re out upon the street

We don’t go to movies or worldly places

that would be a sin

But a love for a lost and dying world

we’ve failed to keep within

They that wait upon the Lord

On wings as eagles

I’m learning how to fly

ON wings as eagles

sailing to lofty heights

While the storms, are a raging

I’m waiting on the Lord

Upon wings as an eagle

I’m safely above the storm

 

Their are times I feel lonely

sometimes I’m tossed about

Then I’m reminded about waiting

and I know it comes to pass

So I put my faith in Jesus

WHY CAN’T WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER 38

 

At times the battle is raging

and we become so confused

When someone is aching

we somehow fail to be used

Why can’t we just turn to Jesus

his word will show what to do

Why can’t we love one another

the way the Lord would have us do

 

Why can’t we love one another

learn to make each other strong

While each one prays for the other

become the way we belong

When in accord we’re together

we know the spirit is near

Why can’t we love one another

and fill our hearts with cheer

 

At times it seems I’m self centered

all I think about is me

Someone somewhere is hurting

and I’m too blind to see

If I can just see the master

NOT A MAN 39

 

I have not a man,

said the man at Bethesda

Not a man to put me in

So Jesus washed away his sin

with the love of God Jehovah

Said rise take up thy bed ad walk

and it was done immediately

 

Well their is not a man

who can put you in the water

Their is not a man

who can set your spirit free

But I know the son of man

and he has walked upon the water

And He sacrificed his life

so that we could be set free

 

Some folks may think they need a man

someone who’ll help them when they’re weaker

They just don’t understand

how Jesus blood could set them free

But Jesus has a plan

that works for every believer

You see He died upon the cross

His blood was shed to set you free

my mother often warned me

“If you procrastinate

your work will never end”

When we put off

our time of Gods word reading

It hurts God so

for he knows our strengths therein

 

Out of this word

flows healing from the Savior

Out of this word

a fountain pure and clean

It is the balm

that cleanses every believer

Out of this word

flows love to you and me

 

Now when the cares

And the road

just seems to go nowhere

and you wish the Lord were closer

Just read his word

and you will find him waiting there

He Will Always Be My Lord 46

 

They say that all good things must end

and that a loser cannot win

A man that’s hurting deep within

is never truly freed from sin

But there is one who’s always been

he’s the son of the God of Abraham

Though the dark of night once reigned within

I’m abiding in the light of the son of man

I know that I have been washed clean

with the blood of Calvary

My song of praise will always be

to the one who died for me

My heart once battered scarred and torn

can sing a song of praise once more

Yes Jesus has my soul reborn

and he will always be my lord

Some say we’re the victim of destiny

some say what will be will be

A blinded man can never see

the futures bleak for you and me

But I know one who calmed the sea

and that same one now lives in me

If his child you will be

then you will live eternally

Well Done 48

 

Well I’m reminded of two cities so evil and bad

their sins were second to none

Homosexuals and Prostitutes everywhere they had

but a righteous man there was none

God rained down fire from heaven

he destroyed their filthy land

With fire and brimstone, he burnt them to a crisp

when he simply said well done

Well done, Well done

your reward you will receive

Well done, Well done

you could have just believed

Whether well done faithful servant

enter thou into the joys of the Lord

Or well done burn forever

We will all receive our reward

Well remember in the Bible, a story that was told

about people and their love for gold

Ananias and Saphira lied to the Lord

they didn’t think he’d keep his word

Well God said your gonna pay for this evil deed

your justice you will receive

So he struck them dead right there on the spot

when he simply said well done

When I complete my journey, and I stand before God

with a list of all the deeds that I’ve done

I wanna hear him tell’em spare the chastening rod

his names here, he’s my son

Every sin that I’ve committed is under the blood

and now I’m glory bound

My eternal reward is over on the other shore

where I’ll hear God say well done

Daddy Knows 49

 

Some Christians think they’re pulling the wool

right down over daddy’s eyes

They think what’s done in secret

will never come to light

They think their secret sins

have really been disguised

And no one knows, just them alone

but daddy knows

 

Daddy knows the number

of each hair upon my head

He knows where ere I wonder

he knows when I go to bed

His eyes see every sparrow fall

he hears each baby cry

Whether big or small, he loves us all

yes, daddy knows

 

Now when I get discouraged

when these knees, have failed to stand

When it seems that no one cares for me

there’s no one to lend a hand

When it seems I’m at my lowest

and I need to feel God’s power

It’s then that I’m reminded

yes, Daddy knows

Jesus Is All To Me 50

 

If today I lost all I own

my possessions in this world

And I had to start all over again

to make it the best I could

Well I know if I had Jesus

everything would be okay

For as long as I have Jesus

I have everything I need

Jesus is all to me, he’s everything I need

He’s the breath of life, when I am weak

he gives me strength when I call his name

He’s the one, who’s made, the flowers grow

he’s made mine eyes to see

Jesus is all to me, he’s everything I need

Before I have taken for granted

all my blessings from the Lord

I didn’t realize he cared for me

and he’d be with me where I’d go

But now he lifts me up above the clouds

when I meet him on bended knee

And through the storm, I’m not alone

he is everything I need

Tag

Jesus is all to me, he’s everything I need

He’s the light at the end of the darkness

that light I now can see

Although, I’m looking, through a smoky glass

very soon his face I’ll see

Jesus is all to me, he’s everything I need

I Will Sing 51

 

He told me, child your chosen

He told me, child your loved

He called me to his kingdom

I’m royalty now through his blood

He’s given me the power

to reign victorious over sin

I’ve traded guilt and such confusion

for this peace I have within

 

So I will sing

and praise his holy name

I will sing a song of worship

I will sing a song of praise

I’ll gladly stand up for the Savior

just as he stood for me

I’ll praise his name for the redemption

he bought for me on Calvary

 

When the road ahead gets long and dark

with burdens and with cares

I call his name, and he’s there again

in the hour of my despair

So why should I go to another

when perfect peace I’ve found

It seems like I’m in heaven

although my feet are on the ground

Jesus Cares For Me 52

 

Many times I feel unworthy

I feel oh so small

When Satan starts to whisper

those lies that once made me fall

I feel the hand of Jesus

and I know he’s always there

He walks beside me all the while

I know my Jesus cares

 

Jesus cares for me

Oh yes he cares for me

He sends his angels

to watch over me

He walks right by my side

and the evil he betides

He meets my every need

yes Jesus cares for me

 

Now when Satan starts to whisper

I say get thee behind

Jesus gave me authority

old slew-foot which to bind

With the tempter far behind me

I shall live in victory

Shouting glory hallelujah

Jesus cares for me

His Hands 53

 

Did you ever hear someone say

look at that mans hands

You can tell he’s had a hard life

he must have lived from off the land

But the greatest story ever told

by the hands of any man

Was the story that the nail prints showed

when Jesus died to cleanse my sin

 

His hands showed suffering

his hands knew pain

His hands healed sick bodies

with just one touch their whole again

His hands bore my cross

on the way to Calvary

And his hands still showed such love

as soldiers nailed them to the tree

 

As a child I thought my mothers hands

were the best I’d ever view

Her hands were always gentle

she always knew just what to do

They pointed right to Jesus

and every time he was there

With his hands outstretched he’d whisper

Peace, my child I care

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

November 24, 1986

 

Even though this song mentions my Mothers hands, it was actually my Daddy’s hands that inspired this song. He, being an auto body repair man, always had callused, cracked, and dirty looking (stained) hands. I remember many times seeing his hands and thinking to myself, I’ll never let my hands look like that. But one day it suddenly dawned on me, that each of those scars, scrapes, scratches, and stains were made trying to support me and our family. Then suddenly those same hands went from ugly to precious in my eyes. And I could see Jesus hands, though scarred, precious also.

Calvary 54

 

There’s a place I hold so dear to my heart

it’s a place I often go

So many have found this peace I have now

it’s beauty so often has been told

To the human eye it’s attraction is so small

it’s there my Savior gave his all

And all who go there, can have peace within

and find strength within to be strong

 

Oh Calvary is my refuge

when I’m troubled and my light grown dim

And at Calvary, I find strength to be

triumphant over sin

Oh my friend just look to Jesus

for your strength in the time of storm

And you will find, a hand so kind

waiting there at Calvary

 

Now at Calvary, so long ago

a man named Jesus, he died

And on a cruel cross, for all my sin

the son of God was crucified

But on the third day, he rose up from the grave

over sin and death victorious

He reigns today and he sent me to say

he loves you just as much

Why Must We Bury Our Wounded Soldier 55

 

There are often warriors

wounded in battle

At the face of the enemy

It seems their strength is gone

But with some prayer and assistance

Dr. Jesus can heal them

And when that warrior returns to war

He’ll learn to fight and be strong

 

Why must we bury

our wounded soldier

When we could pray for them

and make them strong

We could make them whole again

with the love of our father

Oh we must try and make

that weak soldier strong

 

Now there are many

who sometimes stumble

And through there own weaknesses

submit to sin

But when we see them stumble

we should learn to be humble

Kneel and help them before they crumble

instead of walking over them

There Ain’t No-body, Gonna Hold My Body Down 56

 

Jesus is coming soon

this I surely know

Without a doubt I know it’s true

the Bible tells me so

And it also says to comfort

one another with these words

So I’m singing shouting happy

for the good news I have heard

 

There ain’t nobody

Gonna’ hold my body down

There ain’t nobody

Gonna’ keep me on the ground

When Jesus calls me to the sky

That very moment I’m gonna’ fly

There ain’t nobody

Gonna’ hold my body down

 

Now when you feel disheartened

Getting lower by the hour

Your looking all around you

for some kind of peace or power

Just take a look toward heaven

and then on to the throne

You’ll have peace like a river

for your God’s still on the throne

 

Jesus said in the last days

he would pour out of his spirit

He’d give of peace and power

to everyone who’d hear it

So when I’m feeling lowly

cares of life are weighing down

I put my faith in Jesus

and my mind is glory bound

Just Tell It To Jesus 57

 

Well you can talk to your neighbor, you can talk to the wall

you can talk to the man on the radio

You can talk until, you are blue in the face

and still not make your feelings known

But when you get your mind on Jesus, and you talk to the Lord

he hears every single word

Their is no misunderstanding, no request is to demanding

when you speak to him you know your always heard

 

So just tell it to Jesus

whenever you may have a problem

No matter what the situation

you know that he will always solve them

Just start to praying in the spirit

you know that he will always hear it

And he will answer when you speak it

he is the only one who can

 

Now when you discover, the power in prayer

and you see what simple faith can do

You’ll see he’s one true friend, whenever you call on him

no matter where, he comes through

When you speak to him in secret, and with faith you believe it

no telling what you can do

You will always receive, what you need when you ask him

so talk to him and he will bring you through

I’ve Never Been To Heaven 61

 

One day while driving home

and listening to the radio

I fell asleep and drifted off the road

headed for a concrete pole

Then so suddenly awakened

as I hit a small chug-hole

I said Lord I’ve never been to heaven

but I just came mighty close

 

I’ve never been to heaven

but I once came mighty close

If Jesus hand had not been on me

my life would have been over

But his angels were watching over me

and his hand still leads the way

So Lord please keep your hand on me

For I need you more today

 

Now through the daily struggle

that life may send our way

We’ve all encountered situations when

we nearly entered heavens gates

Oh the lesson this could teach us now

just how urgent is the hour

We would all become bold witnesses

to God’s awesome saving power

The Steps Of A Good Man Are Ordered By The Lord 62

 

Some men see the Bible

as a little promise book

And it’s sure full of promises

but ya’ better take a second look

For seeing is believing

when your face to face with sin

And if there’s rebellion in your heart

you’ll never have true peace within

 

The steps of a good man

are ordered by the Lord

And the fruit of his labor

is a flourishing reward

Though he be criticized, false accused,

and mocked among men

The savior walks before him

and his heart is free from sin

 

God’s orders are always given

just to whom they may concern

Concerned enough to walk the walk

or they won’t go when he returns

And his orders are not always

the way of least resistance

But when your stepping in the steps of Jesus

You will have his sweet assistance

Come On Home 63

I don’t need, any wishing wells

I don’t need any time to cry

All I need, is my savior there

walking right by my side

Then at night when I’m troubled

I can sing a lullaby

And when I run to him

I have a quiet place to hide

 

When the talk of the town, starts to get me down

and it’s more than I can bear

All I have to do, is look around

and I find that he is there

Waiting right there patiently

for me to call his name

And when I call on him

his words are still the same

 

Child, your heart is in my hand

Child, my love for you will never end

Though you may run away and hide

I’ll be right by your side

to pick you up, when you are all alone

When your heart is in despair

you will know I’m always there

so child, come on home

 

When my hope has all gone, with my strength to go on

and I don’t know what to do

I call out on him, and he shows me again

his love is always true

And though I often stumble

life’s trials may bring me low

I know he’ll always have for me

a place that I can go

All Rights Reserved 64

 

One day I heard Satan whisper

God never hears you pray

He’ll never hear or understand

a single word you say

Then I heard God’s gentle voice saying

child never fear

And as he turned to Satan

these words I heard so clear

All rights reserved

this child is mine

Nothing can take him

when his hearts in tune with mine

All rights reserved

for me alone

And I’m watching over him

till the day he makes it home

Now as I heard God’s words

as he spoke them to Satan

A heavenly peace had settled there

where fear had just been

And I recall I’ll never leave you

I’ll be with you till the end

And I know that he is keeping me

he’s near and he’s my friend

Friend I know sometimes it’s hard to find

Although you may not understand

So don’t give up, we’re at the end

People need Jesus

They need to know God loves them

He will understand their hurt

When there seems no way, he’ll make it work

People need Jesus

They need to know he’s always there

With every burden that we bear

People need Jesus

 

People can be so blind

through all their searching never find

The peace their heart is seeking for

and yet they keep on reaching more

They have music and movies

they have race-cars and baseball

And no fulfillment is found at all

Listen As He Whispers 66

 

So you’ve slipped and stumbled

you’ve fallen once again

And this is not the first time

Satan tricked you into sin

But the Holy Spirit’s wooing

he whispers “peace be still”

If you’ll listen as he whispers

you will hear I love you still

Listen as he whispers

he’s speaking to you now

Though his voice is soft, it’s clear to hear

I love you still somehow

And though you’ve slipped and stumbled

Don’t lay there in the mud

Listen as he whispers

for he whispers “child your loved”

Sometimes we get discouraged

it seems the roads to rough

That hill up ahead Lord it’s a big one

to climb it’s just to tough

But with the Lord’s hand guiding

his spirit leads the way

If we’ll listen as he whispers

we’re safe in his arms to stay

Then the Lord reminded me of the prophet who looked for God in the wind & rain (the commotion), but found him in the quiet, with a still small voice. And he let me know to get away and listen.

God’s Still In Control 67

 

Some folks worry about the strangest things

God’s still in control

When a trial comes they find it hard to sing

that God’s still in control

If they’d learn to lay it at the cross

they’d know that all is not lost

And find that peace that can’t be bought

because God’s still in control

 

God’s still in control

He still makes the flowers grow

He wants you and I to know

Don’t gotta worry about tomorrow

And when that trial comes your way

Just stand your ground, look Satan in the face

Raise your hands to the Lord and say

My God’s still in control

 

Although the night is closing in

God’s still in control

It seems I’ve lost my last friend

but God’s still in control

My burdens start to get me down

I just look up and I lose my frown

Because I know that soon I’m gonna leave the ground

My God’s still in control

A Little Love 68

 

I hear people say that God is love

but they don’t know his love or grace

They say that God is up above

but they live as a disgrace

If he’s is up above, he’s here below

he knows who does, and who doesn’t know

But the only way this world will know

is for us to let love show

 

This world could use a little love

more smiles instead of frowns

A more caring sharing attitude

more ups instead of downs

We could be more gentle with our words

say things that help, instead of hurt

Show people Jesus here on earth

and prove God’s love is real

 

When Jesus walked upon this earth

he spoke of things to come

He told of war and disaster

and there surely will be some

But he also left some promises

if we would live just as he did

He would build a mansion home for us

where we would forever live

I’d Rather Walk Down The Old-Time way 70

 

Well a man told me the other day

boy your just to old fashioned

That old time way in the old time day

was good so I’d imagine

But hey now it’s the 80’s man

and a new day has dawned

 

I turned to him, and said my friend

Sir I’m afraid your wrong

Well this old time way we’re talking about

is a straight way yes I know

A holiness path that few go down

so told us in the Bible

But there are only two paths,

for a man to travel down

One way leads straight to the grave

and the other to a crown

 

I’d rather walk down the old time way

and save my weary soul

Than to live out the lusts of this modern day

reaping the fruit, as I go

For the way of a transgressor

is hard to walk my friend

The old time way’s far better now

and it gets better in the end

 

Well he looked at me with a little frown

and said I don’t quite understand

I never hurt anyone

I’m not really a bad man

I had a friend who was a very close to me. He and I had played together in gospel groups for some time. But his father got offended with they’re pastor (over money), and quit their church. Consequently my friend wasn’t able to play in our Christian band. We grew apart, and a young man that had been in church nearly every day and night for years, was now being influenced by a new crowd.

He called me up 6 months later, on Christmas Eve, and asked me to meet him a Denny’s. He said “Al, I’m drunk, I’m high, and I’m sacred”. I agreed to meet him, and for nearly 2 hours my friend sat across the table from me and cried, telling me all about his sad experiences.

Somewhere in the course of his story he stopped and asked me a question, bold and straight, he asked, “Do you think Jesus still loves me?”. I tried to assure him Jesus did still love him, but I don’t think I ever convinced him, to the place he could forgive himself.

I went home that night, and immediately wrote down the things my friend had told me. The night was far spent, but I couldn’t rest, until I had set it to music, and sang it through several times. I believe with all my heart, there are a lot of people today, crying out, “Please Tell Me Jesus Love Me”.

but through the trials just not the time

To praise and glorify the lamb

Don’t give up, just praise his name

Praise God

As I walk he’s leading me

every hour he’s keeping me

Praise God…

Step by step one day at a time

I’m pressing on that upward climb

As I walk and hold his hand

And though it’s dark and friends are few

I know he knows just what to do

As long as I just follow him

he will do it again

May 22, 1987

Written while riding to South Dakota with my friend Mark Upchurch and his wife. After I finished writing it, we sang it all the way to the airforce base in South Dakota. Mark was the base player for the singing group “Anointed” which I was playing piano for at the time.

I was going through an aufil lot at this time, my life had fallen apart. I was going through divorce procedings, and little did I know, that on this very same night, while I was in South Dakota, someone would break into the church at home, steal my equipment and some church equipment and the pastor would blame me for it. I was accused of stealing the equipment, pawning it, takeing the money and running away to South Dakota.

Needless to say, when I returned home, and found the police, highway patrol, and everyone else was looking for me, “TO LIVE ANOINTED” was exactly the cry of my heart, and this chorus ministered to me alot!

Gotta’ Break Down Them Walls 78

 

There are people everywhere, who don’t realize

That they are being bound, by all of Satan’s lies

They see defeat, and they feel the pain

But they don’t know of the power, through Jesus name

So we have been commissioned, by the Lords command

To spread the gospel, to a dying land

We must tell the people, stand upon Gods word

And with the gospel they’ve heard, break down them walls

 

Gotta’ break down them walls

gotta’ set the spirit free

Gotta’ tell the world about

what Jesus did for me

Gotta’ stand and proclaim

from sea to shining sea

So the whole world will be

break-in’ down them walls

 

Now in the Bible, we are often told

We are in a battle, and we need to be bold

For carnal warfare, and dead weight of sin

Will only lead, to defeat again

But in the battle plans, we find this strategy

To claim the word, and stand in victory

And when your standing there, so pure and clean

Then old Satan will flee, you broke down his walls

Bought With A Price To Glorify Christ 79

 

Well I once was so burdened

my life stained with sin

My heart had no hope

nor my soul peace within

Then I heard Jesus love

could set my soul free

And praise God he saved me

the very moment I believed

 

I’ve been washed in his love

redeemed by his blood

I’ve been saved

from an evil way of life

I’ve been changed, I’ve been remade

a new man am I

I’ve been bought with a price

to glorify Christ

 

Now my heart is so happy

I sing as I go

And this song that I sing

makes the love in my heart show

For I’m singing a new song

that I learned just today

And the song that I sing

is he took my sins away

I’ll Keep Holding On To Jesus 80

 

There’s a hand that’s always leading me

through the eyes of faith I see

His hand out-stretched and reaching low

as through the valley I must go

And though the sky is dark, rain is falling down

in the peace he gives, my heart has found

As I’m holding on to Jesus

he lifts me up to higher ground

 

I’ll keep holding on to Jesus

holding on to Jesus

The storms of life

will never cover me

And as I’m holding on to Jesus

he’s making every part of me

A little more like his love

and a little less like me

 

In the book of Revelation

we find blessed consolation

If we hold on to his hand

he’ll be with us to the end

If we’ll do what thus says the Lord

we will earn a great reward

So I’m holding on to Jesus

holding to his nail-scarred hand

He Called My Name 81

 

Many years ago, upon a cruel cross

a man so innocent and clean

Gave his life a willing sacrifice

to set free all who believe

When he said, “It Is Finished”

and the blood and water flowed

He was saying child your mine now

for my blood redeems your soul

 

He called my name

when he was on the cross

the day he bore my pain

He called my name

gave me liberty

and now my soul is changed

He washed me clean

and gave me victory

over sin and all it’s shame

He gave me all I need

for all eternity

the day he called my name

 

I was lost and wondering in the night

to where I did not know

I never knew what having peace was

till Jesus love to my heart flowed

But when his love light started shining down

upon my life of pain

From sin he set me free, the same I’ll never be

since that day he called my name

It’s Only Natural 82

It’s only natural

For me to sing

And to give praise

To Christ the King

For me to get up and shout

Jump all about

Raise up my hands

And show I’m sold out

It’s only natural

Since I was born that way

What Jesus Would Say 83

Setting here with my old guitar,

strumming these six strings

makes me want to go home again

But there’s no home for a lonely,

lonely stranger without purpose

just looking for a friend to be a friend

Because home’s only home,

when there is love for the sharing

there’s no love for a lonely traveling man

I can’t go home to be alone,

with four walls around me

so I sit and sing my lonely song again, but wait…

 

I wonder (I know) what Jesus would say

if he could see me (them)

He would say cheer up my child

your not alone

Lift up your head

and see the glory that’s around you

And your heart will find a peace

you’ve never known

 

Well the man down on the corner,

peddling newspapers

says there’s hurting, broken lives across the land

Homes that’s broken,

hearts that’s crying

lives that even time cannot mend

But there’s a man that I heard about,

years ago in Sunday School

who gives new life to weary hearts again

And he gave his life a sacrifice,

on a rugged dogwood tree

and he bids all who will to come and let him in

I Will Wait For Him While Walking By His Side 84

 

I don’t know just where I’m going

between now and that bright day

I don’t know what clouds may darken

the light from my paths way

But I know some day I’m going

to the sky I’m gonna’ sail

So for now until I get there

I shall trust and do his will

 

And I will wait

until the sun falls from the sky

Until all the mountains crumble

and rivers all run dry

I will look for him daily

to split the eastern sky

I will wait for him

while walking by his side

 

Many trials and disappointments

may come my way I know

But still I’ll live for him daily

and praise his name as on I go

For I know some day he’s coming

on the clouds all dressed in white

With his holy band of angels

for me to take that Heaven bound flight

I Had It But I Lost It 85

 

I remember years ago, when I was lost

I never had peace within

Satan always told me lies, and I’d believe them everyone

time and again

He would say go on and try it,

you don’t like it, you don’t buy it

there’s no use to fight,

it ain’t really no big sin

I spent my life a fallin’,

till I found out Jesus love could make me win

So I went down to the altar

and I said Lord I need some help

My life is one big shamble

and I just cannot handle it myself

And he told me turn it over

so I laid it on the altar

and the weight upon my shoulder

went away with all my sin

Now I’m singing so much louder

but the song that I’m singing has no end

Well I had it but I lost it

praise God I didn’t want it anyway

All the sin that had me down

only made me wear a frown every day

Satan told me have some fun

and I even tried to run

but Jesus love was so much stronger

now it’s in my heart to stay

Well I had it but I lost it

praise God I didn’t want it anyway

Are You Ready 87

 

Are you ready, for the Lord to come

does your heart, sing a victory song

In your spirit, are you heading home

when Jesus comes to get his children,

will your whereabouts be known

Can you see, the signs on every hand

war and strife, famine in the land

Have you listened, and obeyed God’s command,

are you ready for the Lord to come

 

Now a man, his name was Jesus Christ

was on a cross, for your sins crucified

And through the blood, he shed when he died

he’s made a way of preparation,

for lost sheep to come home

And although, it’s been 2,000 years

it is true, the time of Christ is near

And soon the saints, will rise up through the air

are you ready for the Lord to come

 

Now the Devil, is like a roaring lion

full of evil, with temptation in mind

And his nature, is to make people blind

so they cannot see the wonders,

that King Jesus has done

But if we all, proclaim the written word

and we walk, in light of what we’ve heard

Then Jesus spirit, will work a miracle

and get us ready, for the Lord to come

I Know That Jesus Loves Me 89

 

When I need a hand to hold

I know that he is with me

I need a shelter from the cold

I know that he is there

Although my friends may turn away

he still will be here for me

Even through my darkest day

I know that Jesus loves me

Bridge

I know he will stay with me

 

He has promised he would never leave

When I get low I know he’ll carry me

And give me grace to face another day

 

While looking back where I came from

I know that he was with me

For I can see the valleys low

I know, that he has brought me through

So when you’ve got a big big problem

don’t let your heart quit singing

Just look to him and you will know

he will do the same for you, (he’ll bring you through)

Step-in’ In The Steps Of Jesus 90

 

Well there are many trials

and temptations in this life

And when you start to walk by faith

old Satan’s gonna’ fight

But friend listen to the father

and as you seek the Lord

You will find great power

in standing on his word

 

Step-in in the steps of Jesus

walking down life’s highway

I’m living for him daily

saying what he’d have me to say

Showing love unto my brother

lending a hand and helping him pray

I’m step-in’ in the steps of Jesus

learning to walk by faith

Well faith is not believing

but believe, oh yes you must

Faith you have by giving

unto God all of your trust

In every situation

never worry never fret

Give it over to the father

and friend you ain’t seen nothing yet

Look To Jesus 91

 

You’ve been betrayed, by your closest friend

your hurt, and don’t know where to turn

Every road you take is a dead end

you’d think someday you’d learn

Your friends all warned you, that you’d get burned

and deep inside you knew

But you refused to believe or hear their plea

now theirs only one thing left to do

 

Look to Jesus

he’s always there for you

He can mend your broken heart

like no one else can do

Don’t give up, though the burdens heavy

and your heart is in despair

Lay it down upon the altar

he’ll meet your need, just kneel in prayer

 

The broken heart that I once had

was mended at the cross

He took away my fear and guilt

kept my soul from being lost

My friend if you don’t have the answer

for what your going through

Take it from this friend, that has a friend

who knows exactly what to do

Over-comers Theme Song 92

 

We are called the over-comers

we’re a righteous, holy number

A mighty army marching to battle

and we are conquering the forces of evil

Only Jesus 93

 

Now when a man is full of sin

with pain and hurt inside

He can search the whole world over

and find no place to hide

But when he walks down to an altar

and Jesus meets him there

He will find the peace he’s seeking

and so much more there knelt in prayer

 

Only Jesus, Only Jesus

only he can mend your broken shattered life

Only Jesus, Only Jesus

only he can set you free, and give you peace inside

 

To many hearts, to many times

have seen to many fakes

Lying and deceiving

it is such a disgrace

But if we’ll lay aside our worldly minds

and show men Jesus cares

Then they will know, for his love will show

there is power in our prayer (&)

I Know A Man Who Can 94

 

You say you know someone, who says they know someone

who knows someone, who gets things done

But you’ll get lost in the tale that’s run

then find out they were wrong

But I know a man, and that same man knows me

and only by his name can we

Find the peace that this world needs

so we must start to sing

 

I know a man who had a plan for me

to set my feeble spirit free

And he will save all who’ll believe

if only they can see

That he’s the man who has a plan for them

and he will cleanse from all their sin

And make them pure and whole again

I know a man who can

 

Now you may talk, and talk, and talk for hours

about some man who has some power

But in his heart he’s just a coward

if he doesn’t know the King

For when some trials, and temptations come

and he can’t seem to get things done

Then you will see that you were wrong

to judge men by what they seem

I’ve Got More 97

Now some folks, don’t understand

why I love Jesus

And they just can’t see the peace

I feel in his love

Though they see I’m not the same

since I’ve learned to speak his name

They refuse his love to claim

and throw away what he’s done

But I’ve got more

than this world, will ever know

I’ve got more

than this smile, will ever show

I’ve got peace down deep inside

and my mind is satisfied

Since I’ve found this place to hide

in Christ my Lord

 

Now sometimes the road down here

gets oh so rough

And at times, it would be easy

to give up

But then I STOP, and think again

just where I am and where I could have been

Since my soul is free from sin

through Jesus love

My brother Damon and I had gone on a trip to central Missouri. I had to preach a revival, and he went along. It was a very special time, because we had never had very much time to spend together. We went to a rather poor church, and they didn’t do much of anything for us. We slept in my van on the seats in the back (it was very cold). We ate cold canned food, and washed up in the rest room of the church. But at night I would get out my guitar and we would sing, one night as I was singing, out came “I’ve Got More”.

I’ll Be There 98

 

Jehovah, oh Lord my God

I come to you, to bring me through

this place in time

My trials small, to you not much at all

but still you care, and you are there

for all to find

 

And you say come to me

I’ll meet your every need

And when your low and in despair

I’ll still be there

And I’ll reach down my loving hand

and pull you out, of your sinking sand

My child, just call on me

and I’ll be there

 

Now when we try

God’s will to find

And try to do, what he’d have us do

to win the fight

Then he will help

for our hurt is felt

And when Satan rages, against the rock of ages

he has no might

The Window Must Be Open 99

We find amid the conflicts

there is always one more trial

And sometimes we must walk by faith

for many many miles

But when your heart is open

and the spirit fills your soul

You’ll be so glad that he came in

when you opened up your window

The window must be open

for the wind to come in

The breeze can’t blow through a closed door

and cool the house within

The spirit wants to thrill you

make you feel brand new again

But the window must be open

for the wind to come in

When the tension and the strains

of this old life begin to rise

And you feel within your heart

you want to run away and hide

Just get your eyes on Jesus

and keep looking straight ahead

Then your window will be open

and his spirit can come in

So many times in this old life

we have oh so many cares

And every step we take

brings another load to bear

But when your looking at the mover

then the mountains not so big

So just raise the window of your mind

and get your eyes on him

Worms In The Manna 100

Now as Gods children long ago

we’re given blessings manifold

Manna sent down from above

striate from Jesus full of love

But when we waste the blessings sent

and all our time on self is spent

We must then kneel and repent

we’re getting worms in the manna

 

We’re getting worms in the manna

to much breads a being wasted

To many people are not giving

of the oil they have tasted

While we say we love the lord

we fail to share his precious word

Though that is what the word is for

we’re getting worms in the manna

 

Well hypocritical is in

men want to play around with sin

Say just a little now and then

why can’t we see the mess we’re getting in

We claim the power of the word

and then ignore the word we’ve heard

We write it off as to absurd

we’re getting worms in the manna

 

So many people out in sin

don’t know God has a plan for them

And all the pain they have within

they hide from family and friend

While we enjoy the things God’s done

we’ve set our minds on having fun

And these men die without God’s Son

we’ve got worms in the manna

Living Under The Shadow 101

The road behinds been rouged

and my way has been so long

With mountains in the way

his word has gently led me on

And I’ve been strong, with him along

And as I sit here dreaming

of some better day ahead

The blessing that he gives to me

may be a trial instead

but this I know

his love will go

 

I’m living under the shadow

of a mighty God

I’m resting in the fullness

of his peace that I’ve got

His love has given more

for the battle is won

I’m living under the shadow

of the almighty God

 

Today I stand here looking back

and wonder what lies ahead

will tomorrow bring me sunshine

or will there be more tears to shed

Lord I don’t know, so to you I’m gonna go

When I’m alone on some dark highway

a thousand miles from home

I look up and I see that moon you made above me

and I know I’m really not alone

and then I’m strong

I know you are along

Lord Please Touch Me 102

 

Jesus I’ve Fallen Again

and I feel the weight of all my sin

My heart just seems to cry

and weep big tears from down inside

In my eyes you see the pain

Lord I feel so ashamed

As I bow on my face again

and to you I humbly cry

 

Lord please touch me

let me feel the peace I had before

My soul is so hungry

I need you more and more

Lord please fill me

fill my heart, my soul, and mind

Though the weakest of men I seem to be

oh Lord, make me thine

 

At times this flesh is so weak

and as I climb the mountains get so steep

Temptation starts to rise

and flesh is written in my eyes

I hear him whisper child don’t be weak

I see a tear start rolling down his cheek

That’s when I fall down upon my knees

and again to him I cry

I came home late from running all night, lay down in my bed and looked up. Above my bed hung a lighted picture of Jesus. I always looked at it when I was going to sleep, but as I stared at the picture, I saw what looked like tears running down Jesus’ cheek. Convicted, I knelt down on my knees and repented, right then. When I finished, I wrote my prayer down, and “Lord Please Touch Me” was born, of a prayer.

All I Need To Know 103

 

I don’t know the reason, why he loved me so

I don’t know why he suffered and died

I don’t know why he left his home above

just to give one like me real peace inside

But I know for I feel, and I know it’s real

I now stand and rejoice in the hope which I feel

And although I don’t know why to a cross he did go

I know, that I have his love inside

 

He loved me when nobody cared for me

He loved me when I was alone

He loved me in spite of the things I had done

he said child, won’t you please, come on home

Then he reached down his hand, and he whispered low

He said child, let my love make you whole

And I don’t know why, no reason I find

but he loves me, and that’s all I need to know

 

I don’t ask questions, or say Lord why

for now I don’t need to really know

I only have to trust him, when he whispers low

and say Lord, let your love, touch my soul

Lord, let your love, oar my heart start to flow

let the peace, only you, can give, take hold

And lord, let me live, neath the shadow of your wing

that you, might show your love to all

Satisfaction Guaranteed 105

 

Well say you go down to the mall

for some appliance big or small

What’s the first thing you must do

see the guarantee they give to you

Don’t you think it would be the same

when you call on Jesus name

Just believe and you’ll receive

satisfaction guaranteed

 

God gives joy instead of pain

he gives peace instead of shame

Every time his name you call

he’ll lift you up where you can’t fall

And where those clouds have been all day

the Son will shine there in their place

Yes he will meet your every need

with satisfaction guaranteed

 

As God’s children we’re so blessed

with love and joy and happiness

So many blessings we receive

because on Jesus we believe

Just look around at what God’s done

all the victories we have won

I am sure that you can see

there is satisfaction guaranteed

 

(Tag)Where there is darkness, he’ll make light

where there is a mess he’ll make it right

To him it’s all about the same

nothings to hard for him to change

For when your weak, he’ll make you strong

he’ll but you back where you belong

I’m sure he’ll do just what you need

with satisfaction guaranteed

I Can’t Stand To See You Fall 106

 

In this world there are a lot of painted pictures

so beautiful to see with naked eye

But the picture Satan’s painting for you brother

only shows distorted fallacies and lies

But if you understand he is trying to destroy you

and you spend time in God’s word to make you strong

Then Satan has no power he’s defenseless

for the word has given grace to overcome

 

Brother please don’t listen

to what Satan says to you

He may be mighty subtle

but his words are never true

Just hold on tight to Jesus hand

as on his name you call

For Brother, I can’t stand

to see you fall

 

As you walk this road of many trials

remember always looking straight ahead

The enemy your fighting in this battle

will do anything he can to see you dead

There is just one way to overcome temptation

stand upon the blood and testify

And although he is lying and deceiving

the word reveals the truth of Satan’s lies

I’ll Never Be Worthy 108

 

Jesus walked upon this earth

was rejected of men

His life and all the work he did

to free mans soul from sin

And I may never know

why to an old rugged cross he would go

I will never be worthy of one drop of blood

Jesus shed for me

 

I’ll never be worthy

but I’ll ever be free

With the precious blood that Jesus shed

I’ll shout victory

I’ll never be worthy

I’ll not be worth the pain

But he has shown his love for me

so to him I will cling

 

Now I walk on this earth

and I live for him

Although the waves may beat with force

I’m sheltered safely within

I will walk each day for Jesus

For he first showed his love for me

when on that cruel cross he died

My Brother Needs A Shoulder 109

 

Like a tree in the wind

Lord let me learn to bend

So I might learn to understand

my brothers weakness

With the love you’ve given me

let me show him faithfully

So his heart can clearly see

your peace you freely give

 

Oh Lord don’t let my heart become to hardened

Where I cannot see my brother in despair

Keep my soul from evil, keep my spirit humble

When my brother needs a shoulder, put mine there

 

Now the written word declares

each others burdens we should bear

For this body that we share

has many members

While one is big and one is small

the Lord has made us one and all

And lovingly each one did call

his love to minister

He Is The Only Man, Worth Living For 110

 

Many men, ask why I’m living

why I sacrifice my time

They wonder why I’m giving

all I have to Jesus Christ

They just don’t understand, They never felt his hand

like I did when he saved my soul

So I just tell them

He is the only man, worth living for

 

He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords

creator of all things

He is the sacrificed provision

for redemption of all man

He is my best friend, my real companion

my God and so much more

So why I live for him

He is the only man, worth living for

 

Now sometimes, I get discouraged

when things don’t go my way

And I wonder why the dark clouds

seem to hide all the light of day

And then I see him, out reaching his hand

and I’m reminded once more

Just why I live for him

He is the only man, worth living for

The Presence of the Lord 111

 

I feel the presence

of the Lord

His spirit now with us

comes flowing down to us

such mercy and love he affords

I feel the brush

and the presence of angels

The peace he has given

now makes life worth living

each day I’m loving him more

 

Jesus, Jesus

That name means more to me, than diamonds and gold

I whisper that name

all heaven proclaims his glory

I love him, I want him

I need him, he’s with me

Such mercy and love he has shown

 

The love he has given me now

has made my mind free

The mercy he’s showing

to others now flowing

to them like it first flowed to me

He’s with me each hour, he’s giving me power

to conquer the powers of sin

His grace and his mercy

though I so unworthy

keeps flowing again and again

He Gave Me His Heart 112

 

I don’t know why

why he would die

Why he would live

to be crucified

But I know he loves

and I know he lives

I know he has

and I know he gives

 

He took all the pieces

all the broken into

He took all the hard times

and made them brand new

He took all the broken dreams

and made my new start

And I know he loves me

for he gave me his heart

 

Now some men deny

ever he died

Went to the cross

and gave us his life

But inside they know

for with their eyes they behold

The change he has made in me

oh such mercy he’s shown

The Pages of God’s Word 113

 

My eyes have never seen

the place prepared for me

Such beauty no mortal could contain

But though my eyes may not behold

I can know for I am told

I can read it in the pages of God’s word

 

In the pages of God’s word

I find a sweet release

In those pages I can find

a glorious peace

And when my race on earth is run

and I see my mansion home

I’ll know I’ve made it

through the pages of God’s word

 

Now men down here build mansions fare

of precious jewels oh so rare

Oh the beauty of their homes glitter as gold

But when I see him on that day

all earth’s memories will fade away

And I’ll thank God I’ve made it through the pages of his word

It Covers Me 114

I have all my life forsaken

the ways that lead me wrong

Though many times mistaken

and led so far from home

I love him with a love so free

and I know he loves me

For the blood that Jesus shed

now covers me

 

His love he gave

on the cross he hanged

In the grave he laid

on the third day was raised

But still one gift means more to me

this precious blood that stained the tree

Oh his blood he gave so free

now covers me

 

I can see him on Galgotha

hanged between two thieves

His blood flowing down

in the thirsty ground to seep

His life he gave to set men free

such love to be received

And you can have this grace

through his blood that covers me

 

(Tag) It covers me

It covers me

The precious blood that Jesus shed

now covers me

I love the gift of life he gave

I love the ones he came to save

But I remain amazed at his blood

that covers me

Jesus, My Everything 115

 

He knows every tear, that I cry

he sees every fear, I have inside

He feels my need, and he whispers peace

and for me he makes a hiding place

He loves me with a love so true

he does what no other power can do

Though he knows me, he still loves me

and he wants to be to me

my everything, all that I need

 

Jesus,

my everything

Jesus, your more to me

than words can explain

Oh just take me, Lord and make me

what you want me to be

In your will I can make it

let my desires be set free

 

With you Lord, I’m never alone

you hold me in your hand, and make me strong

You walk with me, oh so close by my side

you guide every step, to make it right

And although I may fall, many times to the ground

you pick me up, and mend my wounds with love profound

And though some may think I’m crazy

I can see what you’ve made in me

is much more than I’ve ever been before

Cutting Edge Theme Song 116

 

It’s The cutting edge

it’s the word of God

It’s the gospel of peace

with which my feet are shod

I will carry the sword

of the spirit strong

And with it break down all of the evil walls

 

We’re gonna march to victory

with Jesus Christ

Never fear death

for He’s given us life

With the shield of faith

and our helmet too

There’s nothing that our Lords army can’t do

Jesus Is What Christmas Means To Me 117

 

Lights around the window

presents neath the tree

Snow outside is falling

It’s Christmas, in the city

I see my friends smile

and pass me merrily

Christmas, oh Christmas

such a blessed time to be

 

Christmas, oh Christmas

what a lovely time it is

Christmas, oh Christmas

I love the joy it gives

We celebrate so many ways

for all the world to see

But Jesus is what Christmas

means to me

 

Shepherds on a hillside

a visit by and angel band

Glory in the highest

God’s own son has come to man

From the morning in the manger

to the cross upon the hill

Till he was raised up on the third day

salvation’s plan to fulfill

(Tag.) All the celebration, gifts, and holly

don’t mean a thing you see

For Jesus is what Christmas

means to me

Forever Yours 118

 

So many times in the Bible we find

“I’ll never leave you”

So many times he has told us

“I’ll be there”

When I find all this written

in those pages

I realize what he is saying

is “I’m forever yours”

 

Forever yours

forever yours

He said he’d always be

what we need, and then

He’s forever yours

forever yours

He’s said he’ll never leave

and he’d be, forever yours

 

Now there are times I feel alone

oh, but I know

It’s in that time that seems so lonesome

that I can grow

He never leaves, nor is he far away

it just might be, I need to kneel and pray

and then he shows himself to me

and I can hear him gently say

I remember clearly the day I wrote “Forever Yours”, I was setting at the Chickering 9 foot grand piano on the platform of Grace A\G, and was asking God if anyone was faithful and kept their word or promises any more.

And I may not know

To that heavenly mansion

And with all the others

These trials will be no more

I Am Climbing Up The Mountain 121

 

I’d been going through the valley

the dark and lonesome valley

I’d been caught in

Looking for some miracle

to take me heaven bound

And as I looked on up that narrow way

the mountains rocky rough terrain

I said please Lord

But he just left the mountain there

took my hand, and said my child come along

 

So I’ll keep moving up the mountain

Gods holy mountain

I am climbing

I’m tired of the lonely life

down on the valley floor

And as I move on up the mountain

no he just won’t move this mountain

so I’ll keep climbing

Climbing up this mountain side

to heavens table land

 

Now friend if you see a mountain

go ahead, pray God move this mountain

but then keep climbing

For our God specializes

in mountain moving ways

But in this old life’s journey

the way can get so rocky

where he leads you

But don’t look down keep holding on

to his nail-scarred hand and he will lead you home

He’s The Light 122

Satan lies about tomorrow

Satan lies about today

He’ll disguise his pain and sorrow

just to bring them all our way

But if your heart has but one longing

that Heaven is your goal

Then he can’t even touch you

for our God is watching on

 

He’s the light in your darkness

he’s the bright and morning star

His love is shining down from glory

oh no matter where you are

In his majesty and splendor

he’ll outshine all of Satan’s fears

So don’t worry o’re deaths shadow

for that just proves God’s light is near

 

Now there are times when your on the mountain

yes and all the skies are blue

Then all at once you fail and doubt him

as sins dark cloud hangs over you

But don’t you worry o’re the future

or what tomorrow holds

For that same God that calms the water

is that same God that guards your soul

Dean Heady, my pastor at the time, preached a message on the 23rd Psalm. Knowing Pastor Heady, who could quote whole books of the Bible from memory, I expected him to preach some hidden thing I had never heard of again. But as he started preaching, he showed us things we had never seen in the 23rd Psalm. He got down to “Though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”, and he said, “The only thing the shadow of death proves is that the light is still shining, for you can’t have a shadow without a light. Well that struck home, and “He’s The Light” shortly followed.

Win Again 123

 

Now the road turns

as my mind goes down

It seems so easy

as my heart is spinning round

But when it sinks down to the bottom

and my little world is falling

falling down all around

I know all I am needing

is a friend who can help me win again

 

Then it’s back with tomorrow

and all of the sorrows come around

And I wonder where the faith goes

when the trials come and knock me to the ground

Where is that determination

and the hope of my salvation

that in my meditations makes me win

Then I know all I am needing

is my one friend who can help me win again

 

So I just call on the master

for he is the maker of the wind

And I know when I call him

although I may have fallen

he picks me up back on my feet again

And I know if I’m humble

although I often stumble

he’ll make me what I know I should have been

Just as long as he’s leading

he can make me win again

I’m Gonna Wake Up Shouting 124

For so many years now we’ve walked through life

and talked of heaven fair

Looking forward to that day we’ll live

and reign with him up there

But one day this worlds gonna pass me by

I won’t have to worry, no more I’ll cry

I’m just waiting till I hear the cry

for that meeting in the air.

 

I’m gonna wake up shouting

when I get to the other side.

I’m gonna wake up shouting

with Jesus I’ll reside.

I’m gonna sit down beside that river of life

no more sorrow pain or strife

I’m gonna praise the Lord till the day I die

and then I’m gonna wake up shouting.

 

Now through this life we’re gonna have some trouble

everyone must bear their cross

But one of these days I’m gonna cross old Jordan

and all that will be lost

When I sit down beside Jesus

I shake the hand of that nail-scarred man

I’m gonna praise the Lord for his amazing mercy

for without it I would have been lost.

 

Well I may go in the rapture

I know it will be soon.

But it really makes me no difference

as long as my hearts in tune

I may be working out in a cornfield

I may be grinding at the mill

I may be sound asleep in my bed

but I know what I’m gonna do.

Go Ahead And Let God Do It 126

 

Why don’t we see more wonders

and prophesies unfold

Deliverance and miracles

as done by men of old

The Spirit is so willing

but the flesh is still so weak

Don’t let the Devil hinder you

for victory is sweet.

 

Go ahead and let God do it

don’t fight it any more

His spirit’s working mightily

through every open door

If you’ll only give into it

what great work his love can do

Go ahead and let God do it

let him start his work in you

 

Did you ever doubt like Thomas

or walk like the prodigal son

Refuse to accept the promise

or try it on your own

Jesus stands here beckoning

please come to me and know

My word can work your miracle

my love can make you whole.

when I begin to doubt

About the time I give up hope

things seem to just work out

And I know someone’s been praying

someone touched the throne for me

And although she’s gone, I know her prayers

still bring me victory.

 

Grandmas gone

But her prayers pray on

Prayers of blessing and a shield for me

She prayed that I’d be strong

You could always find her on her knees

Praying for my victory

Now grandmas gone

But her prayers pray on

 

Now you may feel disheartened

you may be feeling down

No matter where you look right now

no strength or hope is found

But there is someone somewhere

who’s said a prayer for you

And if you’ll keep believing

God’s love will bring you through

He said when they send out a signal to the satellite, the satellite only captures a very small fragment of the signal, and the remainder of that signal just keeps going and going into outer space. I thought about that for a minute, then I remembered my Grandma praying for me (I remember hearing her countless times). God bottles up out tears, and just because we leave this earth, in no way means, we are not going to receive the reward. We may be long gone, but whatever is done for Christ will last.

Precious Lies 128

 

I was kind enough to hold the coats

while Stephen was stoned

In the valley of temptation

I let no man walk alone

I’ve granted the wish of many men

even spared from poverty

I’ll do almost anything

to make men follow me

 

So tenderly, so patiently,

I offered fruit to Eve

Through my soft encouragement,

both she and he did eat

I have made the way for many men,

to follow their desires

Winning hearts and taking lives,

with just a precious lie

 

One precious lie is all it takes

to open ones heart door

And once inside, without mistake

they’ll take at least one more

It’s so simple, if you overlook

the sin the guilt and the shame

But, friend, please listen close to that subtle host

His lies are still the same

 

To David I brought a beautiful woman

and I blessed them with a son

Gave thirty pieces of shiny silver

to a man named Judas simply for directions

To Lot a wealthy green-land home

in a city rich and bright

So many men so, many times

have loved my precious lies

 

(Tag)He says, it’ll be so fun, I’ll grant your every desire

But his lies are still the same.

You may think I’m crazy

to claim Christ as my king

But he saved me, he changed me

he set my spirit free

And although I must wrestle

with sin, doubt and despair

Since I’ve anchored in Christ Jesus

every burden he will bear.

 

This is a battle

and I’m gonna win it

I’ll conquer every trial

through the power of the spirit

With my sword in my hand

on this solid rock I’ll stand

In spite of hell, fear, or man

I’m gonna win it.

 

Some folks don’t like the words I speak

It kind of goes against their grain

Since they went to church and said a prayer one time

they think they’ve got it made

But brother let me tell you

Romans 6:16 again

It’s not a matter did you start the fight

What matters did you win

 

Now sometimes I get down and out

and I feel like I wanna run

Then through the doubt and fear, his voice rings clear

I bought you, your my son

Then he takes me in, and I confess my sin

and he says child be strong

Get your eyes of man, give me your hand

and your will make it home

There must be a place, where his love can start

I must be a light, that can shine in the dark

When I am made weak, then he is made strong

He brings me back, to the place I belong

He’s making it light (right), where it’s been dark (wrong) for so long

I need a change of the heart

 

We walk by faith not by sight they say

yes our power comes through amazing grace

We sing of his soon return someday

but our neighbors cry, our children hate

How can we say we are Christian men

when God is love, yes he died for them

We live our own lives and they die in their sin

we need a change of the heart

IT’S NOT A BIG THING 132

 

Well he made the earth and water, put the clouds up in the sky

He made the roaring lion, taught the eagle how to fly

He made the moon and stars, spanned out the galaxy

Then he humbled himself down, and gave his life for you and me

 

It’s not a big thing, he fed the little sparrow

It’s not a big thing, he put meal in the widows barrel

It’s not a big thing, he has walked upon the water

And he’s given us the promise

he’d give power to you and me

It’s not a big thing, no matter what the problem

It’s not a big thing, my God can always solve them

It’s not a big thing, for he is ever interceding

And if you’ll just believe

he’ll meet your need, and you will see

It’s not a big thing

 

Well I was once a wondering, in a life of sin and care

I had no one for comfort, had no friend my load to share

Then I met this master, and he told me just believe

I stood upon his promise, now I live eternally

 

Now I walk in total freedom, Jesus is my closest friend

My life has found new meaning, and my soul has peace with in

He has brought me out of bondage, and I know one thing thing is true

Just as he did all this for me, he’ll do the same for you

I said, “Well, that’s not a big thing, we’ll just move the stove and get it when your done”.

I went into the other room, and God said that’s how you are, you over react to every little thing. You make every little problem a crisis. So I wrote “It’s Not A Big Thing”.

I’ve Found God’s Love Is Real 134

 

Did you ever stop to think, what great power it takes

to hear our every prayer

To hear what we think, our every thought, he will think

and yet, forgives the heart sincere

How great is a love, that can see far above

our doubts and foolish fears

Though we question his grace, even walk in disgrace

he stands faithful through the years

 

I know he loves me

yes he loves me still

I know he loves me

he loves me and yes, oh yes he will

Through many trials

and though I’m tired

and many times I’ve failed

Through every trial

over every mile

I’ve found God’s love is real

 

He’s made me to stand, I’m a brand new man

he has washed away my tears

The old man has died, no more must I hide

or walk all my life in fear

I have conquered the sin, that destroyed from within

my every effort to find relief

How do I know? oh I know it is so!

for I live in perfect peace!!!

we walk in this freedom so grand

But they die in their sin

never knowing one friend

who can show them their way back home

 

Oh I know, my Jesus loves me

and he saves all who’ll believe

He sees every sparrow that falls, yes it’s true

and I know he loves even you

 

Is your soul all alone

does your heart long for home

are you hurting, your life in despair

You don’t know where to turn

you’ve tried and you’ve learned

that no one has the answer to your cares

But I know a friend

whether sex drugs or sin

he’ll love you and make you his own

No matter what you’ve done

he’ll give you a home

he will love you, oh please let him in

A Prayer To The God Of My Life 136

 

There are times, when I cry

God have you forgotten me

When I’m down and all alone

my way I cannot see

Through the dim lit hours, he sends his power

his light of truth I see

And I hear him gently say

child let me guide thee

 

Now I come, to the altar of my God

and I cast on him my every care

With shouts of joy and thankful heart

I raise my sacrifice

I sing a prayer to the God of my life

 

By day the Lord directs his love

by night he is my song

Although my heart is sinking still

I shall never walk alone

As the deer pants for the water brook

my soul runs after you

I bring my song,

my sacrifice to you

Up until Sherri and I were married, I was living with “D” and Shirley Pursley, (He is the minister of music at Fee Fee Baptist Church). I sat my keyboard up in the room I was staying in, and “D” and I would sing sometimes. One day he said, “Let’s write a song together” so we did.

I never sang it out, because it just didn’t fit me, but Wendi started singing, and she picked it out of my songbook, learned it, and she sings it quite often.

He’s Your Life 137

 

When I know all I’ve said is worthless

and I feel I’ve done all in vain

The heart of my friend is hurting

and there’s no way I can share their pain

There’s a hope and a peace when I whisper

with assurance Jesus name

I know he will break every fetter

every chord every sin every chain

 

For He’s the friend of the broken hearted

he’s the mother to the orphaned child

He’s a friend closer then a brother

he is humble he is meek he is mild

He cares what your heart is feeling

he knows every tear you cry

He is willing to bear your burden

he’s your friend, he’s your savior, he’s your life

 

Now I speak both assured and faithful

with authority I seldom know

For his spirit is in my bosom

my soul desire is to let his love show

For he’s given me peace unmeasured

in my hours of deepest despair

And I know he will give you power

if you’ll speak on simple prayer

Heaven Gained A Treasure 138

I can still hear them singing, the old rugged cross

And I can still hear the preacher, saying’ come if your lost

And I can hear my momma, singing Amazing Grace

And I still see the teardrops, as they roll down her face

 

I can see the crowd gathering, before each service starts

Many dear old Christians, praying for the lost

Some of those are gone now, but their prayers still pray on

One of those is momma, she sings a brand new song

 

Heaven gained a treasure

when momma made it home

With the angels singing

it won’t be long

Joined with her loved ones

she sings around God’s throne

Yes Heaven gained a treasure

and momma made it home

 

Now up in heaven, momma sings in a choir

Sweet music she is making, as she lifts God’s anthems higher

I often thought my momma, should have worn angels wings

But now the angels listen, as my momma sings

Tag

I know that she’s in heaven, with joy she never had

Yes, Heaven gained a treasure, but momma, I miss you bad

Written By: Danny & Sherri Brown

Sherri wrote the first two verses of this song, long before we ever met. She threw them in the trash, but her mother found them. Some time after we were married, she gave them to me and wanted us to finish it.

So after church one evening, Sherri and I sat down and together wrote the chorus and the third verse. I think it turned out to be one of our best.

A Love For Life 139

There are many things

in this life

that make me cry

There are many a one

who do there best

to see me die

But through it all

nothings really changed

between my Lord and I

Through his tender care

he’s always there

and he makes me right

 

And I sing I have a love in my life

I sing I have all I need inside

I know through his love, and through his faithfulness

he’s shown me I could live

I know that I have found a love for life

 

There are many times

I feel so low

but then that’s how it goes

If no valleys

ever came my way

then how would I know

Through his faithfulness

he conquers every

trial I face

And he’s taught me how

he brings me out

through his amazing grace

 

And I know that I have found a love for all my life

I’ve found a love who’s faithful now and for all time

Through many trials I’ve come and I will fall again I’m sure

But I know I’ve found a faithful love that will endure

A love for life

I’m Seeing Clearer 140

Momma prayed, Daddy made

a living for family and home

And though I was small, they laid down the law

and taught me to know right from wrong

Now I see, just how hard it was

for momma and daddy to go on

And I thank God each day, for making a way

for me to be raised in their home

 

I’m seeing clearer

and I’m getting nearer

As the man in the mirror

daily looks more like them

If I keep on going

the way things keep rolling

Soon I will know, all they have told

me since way back then

 

We boys grew to men, and sis’ to a woman

and daddy wiser it seemed

As I made my mistakes, I learned daddy’s ways

weren’t nearly as strange as they used to be

Now when I speak, I so often see

daddy keeps coming out in me

Though I wanted so bad, to be my own man

I’m finding I’m more and more like him

April 1991

I wrote this song in my friend’s driveway, with my guitar and a note pad. I was trying to support myself, and things were a little tight financially, and for maybe the first time in my life, I caught a glimpse of what my Daddy and Momma went through, trying to raise up 4 kids. My emotions just flowed out into “I’m Seeing Clearer”.

Preach It Like Grandpa Preached It 141

 

In this modern age we live

no two people ever see the same

We’re either sending everyone to hell

or we justify everything

Why can’t we stop this senseless battle

cast selfish pride to the ground

Preach the word with a servants heart in love

and pray the power down

 

We Gotta preach it like grandpa preached it

we gotta walk it like the saints of old

We Gotta mix some love and mercy in

if we’ll walk those streets of gold

We gotta pray and read the bible

live the life that shows God’s love

If we’ll preach it like grandpa preached it

we’ll have power from above

 

When Jesus came to earth he taught

in both deed and word the truth

Walk victorious over sin

in everything you say and do

The prostitute needs the Savior

the homosexual God’s love

Men are seeking for the power

that we have through God above

 

When you finally reach that city

and you stand before God’s throne

Only one things gonna matter then

will he say child welcome home

Now did you love your brother

did you worship God alone

Did you seek to save a dying world

or was your heart a stone

The Holy Ghost put the Praise ALL OVER Me 142

 

God said when his people praise his name

his spirit there would be

And he promised where my spirit is

there shall be Liberty

The Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

The Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

 

He filled my total being

when his spirit moved in me

Can’t help it when I praise his name

I dance and shout and sing

Cause the Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

The Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

 

The Holy Ghost put the Dance down in my feet

The Holy Ghost put the Dance down in my feet

I just can’t keep from dancing

when his spirit moves on me

I said the Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

 

The Holy Ghost put the Raise up in my hands

The Holy Ghost put the Raise up in my hands

I just can’t help but lift them high

how he died for all my sin

The Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

 

The Holy Ghost put the Love You in my heart

The Holy Ghost put the Love You in my heart

He gave me love for my brother

He gave me a brand new start

The Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

 

(the Holy Ghost put the praise… cont. from p.142)

The Holy Ghost put the singing in my voice

The Holy Ghost put the singing in my voice

I just can’t help from singing

I just got to make some noise

The Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

All over me, All over me

All over me, All over me

I said the Holy Ghost put the Praise all over me

Written By Daniel A. Brown III

I was in my office at the church we were pastoring in Fillmore MO. I was trying to prepare a message that would create a little excitement in the congregation. My message was talking about the Holy Ghost, and how when he comes into you he possesses every part of your anatomy.

I started singing and out came “The Holy Ghost Put The Praise All Over Me”.

We Mussent Worry Bout These Little Things 143

 

When I see just how he made the mountain tall

Each blade of grass and made each snowflake fall

All things the working of his hand

According to his master plan

We mussent worry bout these little things

 

We mussent worry bout these little things

No matter how big the trial seams

It’s nothing much at his command

A speck of dust, a grain of sand

We mussent worry bout these little things

 

The sun and moon he hung up in the sky

He made the wings that make each sparrow fly

When we are faced with big problems

He’s touched and feels each one of them

He’s promised he will keep us by his hand

 

He keeps us even as the years go by

He sees our fears and hears our faintest cry

He said he’ll be there to the end

and promised even to defend

We mussent worry bout these little things

Pray It Through 144

 

Wait, Please don’t stop

I’m not through loving you

There are these things

only I can help you through

Just be patient, I am still waiting

talk to me once more

I can help you, if you’ll let me

walk through that closed door

 

Just take the time to pray

and I will answer you

Just take the time to say

Lord, help me through

You have not, because you ask not

don’t be afraid to ask

Just take a minute, or an hour or two

and pray it through

 

Many times I’ve tried to move for you

but was stopped through disbelief

Mountain moving, is not hard to do

if you have faith in me

But when you doubt my power, your yielding to the devourer

and then his will you’ll do

So ask and believe, don’t hinder me

just pray it through

Nov. 10, 1993

Pastoring taught me a lot of lessons. Watching the people, and listening to their problems, and seeing that most of the time they don’t really mean what they say. An alter service with 2 minute prayers don’t cut it. Old timers talk about when a sinner would “ray through”. I think we need some old fashioned prayer warriors, who will tarry in the alter till something happens. So, from God’s perspective, I wrote “Pray It Through”.

An Old Dusty Alter 145

Just a wonderer, in such danger

I heard God’s word that night

It spoke to me, in my misery

and I know my heart must find

A peach and assurance

that only God can give

and as I nelt there, and spoke that simple prayer

Lord please forgive

 

An old dusty alter

and one willing soul

A heart that is broken

and a head that’s bowed low

Two knees humbly kneeling

in reverence for it’s there

At that old dusty alter

God answered my prayer

 

Where I prayed, the dust is washed away

and the tears have left their stains

An Angel, became mine I know

and he walks with me each day

With Jesus as my savior

the Holy Ghost as my guide

I found his love at the alter

and I will ever abide

Sherri and I were riding in my Thunderbird, on our way to St. Joseph to see her parents. Out of the blue she said (after starring out the window for some time) “You need to write a song about an old dusty alter”, so I did.

I said, “Get a pencil and paper” and dictated it to her, and by the time we reached her parents, it was ready to rehearse.

I Am Your Defense 146

 

As I awakened one morning, a vision I seen

From behind a man coming, with a blade to kill me

As he rose up his weapon, the knife fell from his hand

His arm became withered, and his feet failed to stand

 

I felt chills all over, God’s spirit was near

I didn’t know, shout for joy, or sit quietly in fear

I cried Lord please show me, of this thing make some sense

He said fret not of others, I am your defense

 

I’m the great God Jehovah

and I’m looking over

From over your shoulder

I can see the end

and you will win

I am your provider

a strong mighty tower

Much more than your maker

I’m your defense

 

I was reading in the bible, we are told to rejoice

All those that trust God, let them ever shout for joy

But why are we shouting, when the fowler is near

The great tempest is raging, we’re surrounded by fear

 

We are much more than conquers, when we stand on his word

Become the righteousness of Jesus, through the blood and the word

God said if you love my name, be joyful in me

I bless the righteous with favor, and I will defend thee

A particular person very close to us, for whatever reason, was going around the whole country telling lies on us, trying to destroy our witness. God awakened me in the middle of the night, and I saw a vision. I went to Arlance Clark’s house the next day, and shared the vision with him, and he reminded me of Jeroboam (1 Kings 13:4-6) when the king raised his hand against the man of God, his arm withered (KJV “dried up”). God will do whatever he has to do deliver, protect and defend us. I wrote the vision, and the promise down and “I Am Your Defense” was the result.

Looks Like Rain 147

 

We’re told by the prophet Joel

one day the rain would come

The latter rain would be poured out

on your daughters and your sons

For so many years, we’ve waited here

preached the word and praised his name

Now looking to the hills where comes my help

I can say that it looks like rain

 

Looks like rain, I can see the clouds a gathering

Looks like rain, the wind begins to blow

Well he poured out the latter rain

the power and the Holy Ghost

He poured out his saving grace

he wants the whole wide world to know

His spirit’s working through us now

his power is just the same

And as the wind begins to change, it looks like rain

 

Now Jesus left the promise

that he’d come back again

But before he would come back

his spirit would descend

On all flesh sighs and wonders

shall follow who’ll believe

This latter rain that is coming now

is bringing power to you and me

 

Years ago he called our fathers

and the spirit fell on them

As they preached and prayed and testified

the power did descend

Well our God never changes

more than conquers are we

Knocking down the walls of darkness now

let us set the captive free

I’m Going Down To The Gates Of Hell 148

Now Satan’s occupied,

to many a house, a way to long

His demon’s and his spirits have

built walls around our young

The gates of hell, shall not prevail

so let ole’ Satan try

We must go down, and take them back

because that’s why Jesus died

 

I’m going down, to the gates of hell

I’m taking back, what Satan stole

God’s word won’t fail

Jesus said “I build my church

& hell’s gates shall not prevail”

We the church of God, must go down to the gates of hell

and knock them down

 

We’ve been lied to for so long,

accepting compromise

Satan stole our children,

we just ran away to hide

But our God gave us power

over sin and death and hell

We must go back, and get the faith

and wage a war on hell

 

Now Jesus died upon the cross,

for all who will believe

He bore the stripes upon his back

to heal both you and me

The keys to death, hell and the grave

he took back from the crook

When Satan tries to rob you

say “hay, it’s written in the book”

Manifesting Mans Ability 149

Though one time known for our compassion

we are now known for our actions

We just let them know exactly how we feel

No longer moved by love and mercy

seeking only what is perfect

it’s hard to tell what’s fake and what is real

 

That one once known as a prayer warrior

is now known as Miss mail order

Who’s blessed book is Sears and Roebuck Catalog

We are seeking for prosperity

my friend oh why can’t we see

We’ve swallowed Satan’s sinker hook and Lie

 

God has no place in our church, for the Holy Ghost cannot work

we have quenched his spirit and left him way behind

No more God and all his Glory, and that blessed old old story

But we’re baby-sitting Christians moved by time ….

We just don’t see the sighs following, no we’re way to busy bottling

theirs no time for us to set the captive free

God’s word is just a story, we’ve forgotten what our calling is

and we’re manifesting mans ability

 

We have a preacher with four doctorates

and a choir that sings eight octaves

and a steeple you can see for fifteen miles

Our softball team is first place

and our men’s group makes the best steak

but we’ve lost the hunger for old fashioned power

 

We’re no longer holy rollers

no friend we have just rolled over

and played dead while old Satan robbed us blind

We must go back and seek God’s power

preach the message of the hour

or we’ll wind up in the ditch where blind lead blind

Gabriels Lips Are On The Trumpet 152

 

There are times I get discouraged

as a trial I go through

And I seem to fret and worry

can I ever make it through

Then I recall “wherefore comfort

one another with these words”

and “even so come LORD Jesus”

so I preach the message I have heard

 

Gabriel’s lips are on the trumpet

all of heaven stands at bay

They are waiting for the moment

when they hear the master say

Jesus go and get your children

Gabriel blow your trumpet strong

Gabriel’s lips are on the trumpet

very soon we’re going home

 

When Jesus called I answered yes LORD

he said “come and follow me

Walk by faith and not by sight boy

to my precious word take heed

Though I lead you through the valley

my saving grace shall never stop

If you will be true and faithful

there’ll be another mountain top”

We were attending a convention in Tulsa OK, and there were several people who testified of having seen (what they felt were) angels. These three particular testimonies were incredibly similar. Each person had picked up a hitch hiker on the highway, the man had told them get ready, Jesus was coming soon and that Gabriel’s lips were even already on the trumpet. When they stopped an let the person out, driving away, they looked back, and the man had disappeared. I don’t know about the testimonies, but they spurred me on to write “Gabriel’s Lip’s Are On The Trumpet”.

Make Me Like Thee 153

no I’m not worthy

I don’t know, how he saves a soul

so undeserving

How he can care, and still be there

But he is there, and hears each prayer

I humbly tell him

 

He forgives me when I call

each time I falter

He takes my feet, from sinking sand

to the Gibraltar

And he will make, from what I am

a thing of beauty

LORD please take me as I am

but make me like thee

 

A wretched man, so scarred by sin

is still not useless

If he will let, the master in

and his sin confess

Though he be lost, in dark of night

his soul despairing

Jesus blood, will wash him white

take his sin from him

I’ve been waiting for so long

For you to make this choice

But I was left behind

Someone else was on your mind

Now your calling me,

Oh what is your need

You wouldn’t waste your time

 

Oh, You’ve got a problem

And it’s a big one

It makes the last one

Seem so small

And you know I’ll always answer

Through every singel mess

And broken primises

I’ve come through every time

Why can’t you learn

To call on me

Before you get behind

 

Don’t Wait so long to call

I’m always standing near

Don’t leave me last to know

Although I always answer

If you just take the time

It doesn’t cost a dime

And you know I’ll always hear

Who Do You Think You Are 155

I awakened one morning, to the screen door banging

and somebody called out my name

I ran to the stairs, yelled out “Who’s There”

but there was no one there to say a thing

Then I realized, for Jesus opened my eyes

it was a devil disturbing my dreams

So I pulled out my sword, said, “Ah you’ve come back for more”

who do you think you are

 

Who do you think you are

who do you think you are

I’m a child of the King Lord God Almighty

But who do YOU think you are

I been bought with a price, and I been baptized

in that Holy Ghost Heavenly Power

Satan your a liar, and your bound for the fire

Who do you think you are

 

I was heading for home, my work day was done

a new song in my heart for the rain

Then the tire blew out, my car shook all about

so I called out on Jesus name

While pulling it over, onto the shoulder

a man honked said get out of my way

Satan wanted my joy, but his plan was destroyed

and I shouted on the side of the highway

 

Satan you were kicked out of heaven, stripped of your living

bound in chains of darkness and sin

You exalted yourself, above God and all else

now you’ll never know peace again

So you crucified Christ, on the cross he died

and he took away all of my sin

And he rose the third day, and he still lives today

so who do you think you are

More Than You’ll Ever Know 156

Knelt Down at the side

of an old man a dying

Knowing well his preaching days were over

Such pain in his body

He could no longer hide it

But his love for his Lord still grew stronger

A chill of death in his eyes

as he gazed into mine

as to say son, be strong, it won’t be long

You’ve made me so proud

but it’s all yours now

 

I love you more than you’ll ever know

More than you’ll ever know

More than you’ll ever know

More than the pain in my eyes

and more than these tears could show

A love that is stronger

than hell or death? yes it’s stronger!

and time won’t fade it I know

As timeless as the ages

more than all the written pages

I love you more than you’ll ever know

 

Now I walk down life’s Highway

no detours no byways

a message in my heart for the world

I follow the example

laid down before me

walk straight in the light of God’s word

But I recall that one time in life

we laid all else aside

shared a love the redeemed only know

How precious the heritage

the life that was holy lived

means more than you’ll ever know

 

Bent down neath a rugged cross

counting his life but loss

taking on all the sin of the world

He lay aside the splendor

all heaven he surrendered

to purchase salvation for the soul

Rejected by the multitude

despised and falsely accused

stricken, smitten, and alone

Even in his dying hour

speaking overcoming power

I love you more than you’ll ever know

In Memory of Rev. J.R. Ivie

June 12, 1994

My Grandpa Ivie (Rev. J R Ivie) had been an Assembly of God pastor for some 50 years. He and I had not seen eye to eye on many things. He was very strict, old line Pentecost. He believed men had short hair, no facial hair, no jewelry, dark suits with white shirts, and women had long hair, no jewelry, no makeup, long dresses only, etc… Many times he would tell me, “Better get your hair cut, or it’s gonna send you to hell” or “Quit hot rodding that piano, this is the church, not the honky tonk”, one time in particular I remember he said “I don’t know why any sissy wants to wear a pinkie ring, God hated anything effeminate”.

 

Well, the truth was my Grandpa loved me very much, and he had convictions about such things, and he believed he was right, so he wanted me to be just as right as he was. He was a tall man, well over 6 ft., and spoke with power and authority. So even when he was being sweet, you couldn’t necessarily tell it by the sound of his voice.

 

But Grandpa was very ill now, dying with cancer, so Sherri and the girls and I went to see him. When we arrived he was incoherent, so we went to the bus and went to bed. About 5:00 a.m. they called us in to speak with him.

 

He looked me in the eyes, and said “son I’m proud of you!!” (it was about all I could do to hold back the tears) he went on “you’re the only one of my sons or grandsons preaching the gospel”. Then he looked me straight in the eye and said, “I love you more, that you’ll ever know”. I began crying uncontrollably. He went on and told the girls, Stormy (Misty), Muddy (Raini), and Cyclone (Wendi) (as he called them), “Be faithful to Jesus”.

 

Three days later he passed, early on a Sunday. On the way to the funeral home, still hearing his words, wrote “More Than You’ll Ever Know”.

Wonderin’ where is Jesus, he should have been there too

Lazareth their brother, has been dead one day now two

Jesus still was not there, what are they gonna do

Then kind of nonchalantly, no sorrow felt at all

Jesus walked up and they said, you didn’t come when we called

Now dead three days he stinketh, please don’t make them move the stone

But Jesus spoke into the tomb, and Lasareth came forth

and he said

 

Loose him and let him go,

Loose him and let him go

He’s wrapped up in those grave clothes,

standing over by the door

Begging for his freedom,

he’s not dead any more

Don’t let those old rags scare you,

there’s nothing now to fear

Old Satan’s bound and conquered,

and the Devils out of here

So loose him and let him go

 

Then one day Jesus was preaching, to those who gathered round

A boy so bound by demons, started screaming in the crowd

Fear struck Jesus Deciples, they said get him out of here

But Jesus said be still now, there’s nothing now to fear

Then over on the hillside, he saw a heard of swine

And speaking to the legions, of demons in that boys mind

Begging him to let them go, into the herd of swine

When Jesus granted there request, the pigs committed suicide

and he said

 

Loose him and let him go,

Loose him and let him go

He’s burdened down with sorrow,

carrying’ such a load

Fighting with the demons,

they’re trying to steal his soul

He’s calling out for mercy,

and there’s nothing now to fear

For Jesus has all power,

and the Devils out of here

So loose him and let him go

 

So when you face the devil, remember who is boss

Confess the word in power, say old slew foot you lost

Your evil spell was broken, when Jesus paid the cost

Hell, death & the grave he conquered, when he nailed them to his cross

When he comes against your children, put him on the run

Plead the blood and testify, that’s how we overcome

You’ve got the power within you, to make the devil go

So bind him bruise him cast him out, he’s a defeated foe

Just say loose him and let him go

Here I Go Again 158

As I wake up with the morning

of another day a dawning

in my mind

I find that there’s an aching

from another trial shaking

up my life

Finding faith for tomorrow

cause I’m walking where the wind blows

and the tempter only comes to cloud my mind

But I know that I can make it

with Jesus I can take it

when it’s said and done

the victory will me mine

 

Here I go again

Lord I know with you I’ll win

Please give me the strength to stand

Here I go again

 

When I’m alone and tired and weeping

and the midnight silence ringing

in my ears

All my faithful friends are gone now

it’s just me left here alone

with my tears

My heart begins to racing

as my mind begins to chasing

all those memories that bring such doubt and fear

I know that he is leading

he’ll give me what I’m needing

I speak his name and he says

child I’m here

Sherri and I were going through the long emotional process of adoption. We had been consumed with the process for several months. The agency would tell us they had found us a baby, then after we had the diapers, baby bed, bottles and all the things that go with it, the adoption would fall through. Every time it happened, Sherri’s heart would be ripped out of her.

One day in Texas, we received one such call, telling us our adoption had fallen through. Sherri was talking on the phone and we could tell by her countenance, this wasn’t good. The agency told her we were not going to get the baby we were trying for, but in almost in the same breath said, “we have another one we would like you to consider, it’s going to be born in June”. Sherri was like, I don’t know if I can start believing for another one, we’ve tried so many times and every time it falls through. When she hang the phone up, she looked at us and kind of shakey in her voice, said, “Well, Here I Go Again”.

I started thinking, isn’t that just about the way it is with everything in our life. It seems we jump from the frying pan into the fire. About the time we conquer the conflict, we’re involved in full scale war. Friend God has promised he would never leave us, nor forsake us, but he would be with us, until the end of the age. He most times delivers through the fire, not from the fire, through the lions den, not from the lions den. We only truly conquer the mountains we climb.

So when your trials come and you can’t go over, you can’t go around, you have to go through. Just hold Jesus hand, look the Devil in the eye, say “get thee behind me Satan, I’m more that a conqueror”, and “Here I Go Again”.

Ride Out The Storm 159

 

Through many a trial

I walk now and then

sometimes the dark clouds

cause the light to grow dim

But I have a shelter

and his light shines within

Like a beckon at midnight

his love shines again

 

When I want to run

he just says ride out your storm

Your save in my hand

on my word you can stand

Though the dark clouds are rolling

they can do you no harm

When your heart wants to run

just ride out your storm

 

Now when your discouraged

your vision is gone

The tempter has tried you

and he stole your song

The accusers enticing

his lies sound true

Just call out on Jesus

your strength he’ll renew

Ain’t no rock, gonna get the chance

I’m gonna praise the King of Kings

I’m gonna sing and clap my hands

Dance it Shout it we have got the victory

 

There is a crowd in Luke 19

Jesus was leading

down the hill past the Pharisees

Disciples were praising

the multitude rejoicing

oar miracles and wonders they had seen

The Pharisees did not like this

they said master rebuke them

he turned and he faced them from the crowd

Jesus said I tell you

if these should hold their peace

the stones would immediately cry out

 

In camels hair and leather came he

preaching, repent ye

for the kingdom of heaven is at hand

John saw sadusees & Pharisees

coming for baptizing

but in their hearts had not confessed their sins

Oh generation of vipers

tell me who has warned you

to flee from the wrath to come

Don’t you say we have Abraham

for God is able to

of these stones to raise up children unto him

Suffer Not The Children 161

I seen him at the alter

he must have been just two

Kneeling by his momma

as she tried to pray through

Reaching up he wiped the tears away

from his mommy’s eyes

Lifted up his little hand

praise the Lord his little voice cried

 

I had watched him through the service

such a precious little boy

Clapping his hands and singing out loud

with all that grown up joy

It touched my heart so sweetly

makes me nearly cry still

Those little arms and little hands

I wonder how God must feel

 

Suffer not the children, bring them unto me

When you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it unto me

We need more tender mommas, a few more daddys with a Godly zeal

When we fail the children, I wonder how God must feel

 

Little arms round mommy’s neck

mow it’s time to go on home

Wasn’t service great, howd’ it get so late

Jesus loves me this I know

A story from the Bible

and a prayer down on our knees

Can’t you just – imagine God

when he hears I lay me down to sleep

Oh Please don’t fail the children, consider how God must feel

Suffer Not The Children

Written By: Danny and Sherri Brown

March 16 1995

We were in revival in St. Genevieve MO, with Pastor Tommy Mapes. We were having a wonderful, powerful revival. There was a little boy there by the name of Patrick. His birthday was on St. Patrick’s Day, and he was going to be 2 years. old that week.

Through the service his mother would hold him, and they would praise the LORD. Little Patrick would watch the congregation, and if he seen somebody raise there hand, he would raise his little hand and praise the LORD. If someone said Amen, he’d say Amen. If we were singing, although he didn’t know the words, and couldn’t read the transparency, he would sing with all he had.

When the service was ending, and the alter service was well under way, Patrick and his mother were in the altar praying. Patrick watched mommy, he knelt down, just like mommy, folded his hands, just like mommy, bowed his head, just like mommy, but suddenly he realized mommy was crying, with a puzzled look on his face (as if now what do I do, I’m having too much fun to cry), he reached his little hand up and wiped the tears from his mommy’s eyes. Sherri and I had been watching this throughout the service, and when service was over, we together wrote this song.

We struggled with the title, “Suffer Not The Children” because Jesus said, “Suffer the children to come unto me”. But in the day and age we live in the word “Suffer” no longer means, “allow someone to do something”. However when we hear the word “Suffer” we relate it to someone hurting, and suffering pain. Truly the children of the United Stated and the World have Suffered enough.

Of every broken home, the children Suffer the most, every alcoholic parent, every drug abuser, every ill tempered adult, it is the children who suffer. God is sending out a message today, “Suffer Not The Children”.

Little Patrick has a very special place in our heart’s and I would like everyone who reads this to pray for Patrick. Little did we know that when his mommy was in the altar, she was weeping and praying because she had a brain tumor, which was inoperable. A year and a half later she died, leaving little Patrick alone. I don’t know where Patrick is today but I pray he’s serving Jesus, that’s what I know his mommy would want the most. I have a feeling Patrick will be okay, because we have a promise of God, Prov 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

I believe even though Patrick’s mother only trained him until he was a little over three years old, the Godly impression she left on him, he will never forget the impact of a God fearing mother.

This Judgment Bound People 162

Lord so long ago you called me

anointed me to preach your word

To mend up the broken hearted

with others share the news I heard

When I stand to minister

I feel a bitter chill

When I think how I’m responsible

I stand between each soul and hell

 

Lord grant me the power

I’ll give you the glory

The message of the hour

to tell the old old story

I will sing to you your praises

I will preach your holy word

let my heart be pure, let my words be yours

For I stand before

this judgment bound people

 

I’ve been preaching for some time now

of God’s power and Jesus name

His anointing has never failed me

his power is just the same

Every time I stand behind

that sacred desk I feel

I need that power more every hour

I’ve got some mighty big shoes to fill

We were in our home church, and Pastor Dennis was preaching. During the course of his sermon he made the simple statement, “This is a judgment bound people”. I didn’t think much about it at the time, but I couldn’t get it off of my mind. I don’t really understand why, because I know, it’s appointed unto man once to die, and after that the judgment. Saved souls will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, and sinners, the great white throne judgment. But every time I stood behind the pulpit, for the next 2 solid months, I would hear his words ringing out in my ears, “This Is A Judgment Bound People”, so I penned the words to this song.

WAKE UP THE DEAD 164

 

Many are sleeping, cold as Neptune

They never move, their pew is their tomb

The fire’s gone out, no hope now they’ve said

But our god has called us, to wake up the dead

 

Play it loud

play it long

Play it hard

sing out my song

The Lord has called me

by his prophet he said

Prepare for war

Wake up the dead

Church Wake Up

Wake Up, Wake Up

Wake Up, Wake Up

The Lord has called me

by his prophet he said

Prepare for war

Wake up the dead

Church Wake Up

 

Stand to your feet, prepare for war

Mighty men of God, draw near to the Lord

In power and faith, raise your shield in hand

Pray in the spirit, on God’s word you can stand

It Could Have Been Me 165

I was standing in the hallway

waiting for my turn, in the long line

The sudden shock had chilled me

when I heard the news, “our good friend had died”

As the memories kept unfolding

every one, a favorite one to see

My turn came, how chilling

what my eyes beheld nearly sent me to my knees

 

You see, I had been his friend some time now

and I had walked down the same road, he had gone

All the loneliness and crying

the hours of bitter fear he had known

He had even shared some of them with me

and I shared with him my trials and my LORD

But somewhere his faith had left him

with no home, no faith, no friends and no hope

 

It could have been me

lying cold there in the shadows

It could have been me

lost so far from home

It could have been me

crying out for mearcy

But for God and his grace, it could have been me

 

Now I wonder as I stand here

and ponder the purpose of it all

When I see the pain of others

my trials somehow seem to grow so small

LORD please grant to me the power

to bear my brothers burden as my own

For today it’s another

but tomorrow, it may be me who needs some hope

I’M GONNA PRAISE THE NAME OF JESUS WHILE I CAN 166

 

Folks are preaching compromise

they have let their morals down

Though one time yes they knew God

give him no glory now

Begging always wanting more

never satisfied

Unthankful with their conscience seared

God save them while there’s time

 

Friend our God is a Holy God

Holy Word & a Holy Ghost

He still believes in Holiness

Holy life’s what he wants most

He demands a separation

from this world and all it’s sin

If your gonna praise his holy name

it’s got to start down deep within

 

CHORUS

I’m gonna praise the name of Jesus while I can

I’m gonna laugh & dance & sing & clap my hands

I’m gonna tell the world about him

Gonna sing I’m gonna shout it

I’m gonna praise the name of Jesus while I can

 

The angels and the seraphim’s

praise God upon his throne

Choirs of the Host of Heavens

sing his Glory all day long

But God desired that someone

Praise him of their own free will

So he created mankind

Hoping Free he’d Praise Him Still

 

Many folks are wandering

I wandered round to long

Their looking for the Power

the powers already come

Their looking for a new thing

a new word & a new way

Since the dawn of the creation

we Triumph through our Praise

Dancing On The Hills 167

 

David was a man of praise

loved to sing and loved to pray

He’s dance with all his might

through the day way into the night

He’d sing a victory song

when everything went wrong

He’d say shout with me, give God the glory

triumph through his praise

 

They say, today’s a different day

but God is still the same

Generations come and go

but God will never change

Sing redemption’s song

give God all of the praise

It won’t be long, and we’ll be going

it might be today

 

We’ll be dancing on the hills

shouting in the streets

Friend can you wait until

we bow down at his feet

We’ll hear him say “well done”

walk on golden streets

No doubt about it, gonna’ be there shouting

dancing on the hills

We’re told about a throng

singing round the throne

I’m gonna sing along

kinda’ feel like I’m at home

Gonna’ dance and shout and sing

round the throne of the king

Friend if your looking forward to it

stand and help me sing

 

When my feet start to tap

my legs start to move

My hands start to clap

kind of get into the groove

Well excuse me if I shout

or if I start to run

But it won’t be very long

I’m getting ready to go home

My Trials Merit Not The Question Why 168

Why, Is just a word

for LORD I’m doubting you

I really, am not sure

that I believe in you

Then I think of what he did for me

and all that he’s been through

My trials, merit not, the question why

 

He was mawked, he was spat upon

he was beaten too

They laughed at him, they tore his clothed

he drank vinegar too

His closest friends, turned their back on him

denied they ever knew him

No my trials, merit not, the question why

 

My trials, seem like nothing

when I think of him

What he did for me, nailing to his cross

all of my sin

He took my pain, gave me a brand new name

washed away, all of my sin

So how, could I ask, the question why

 

Then they nailed him, to a rugged cross

by his hands and feet

Wore a crown of thorns, as he made his way

down the dirty street

Beaten 39 times, with a cat of 9 tails

then he carried that cross, so weak

No my trials, merit not, the question why

Reasons Why 169

 

Many trials here below

no real friend, no place to go

Doubts and fears, cloud my mind

I’m looking for the sunshine

I wonder why, LORD I’m in doubt

are you sure you can bring me out

But when I stand before his throne

I will know as I am known

 

Won’t want to ask the reasons why

just want to sit down by his side

Gather round the throne with all the people

Want to hear, “come on in

step through the gate

no more sin

no more hate

never again

will I have to wait

or stand another trial

When I reach the other side

won’t need to ask the reasons why

 

Someone said the other day

“oh I can hardly wait

To get to heaven, see my Jesus

ask him all that’s on my mind”

You can be sure he has a reason

you just keep on believing

Once your standing by his side

you won’t need to ask the reasons why

I Just Seen Jesus In You 171

I’ve know many a man

who professed they knew God

But their eyes don’t reflect him

their lips, seldom speak from his heart

Though they claim the power

they spend the hours

talking money, houses, and cars

when it’s all said and done

they’ve exalted just one

themselves, and just who they are

 

I’ve searched this world over

looking over my shoulder

searching for a brother that’s true

And oh so seldom

do you find someone willing

to really let Jesus shine through

But my spirit bears witness

that he is your focus

and the LORD of all that you do

Oh how I thank him

that your life’s a blessing

and he’s more than everything to you

Because I just seen Jesus in you

 

your light let his love shine through

In your eyes I beheld him

your glow was his reflection

your whole life was his living proof

I could have stayed there forever

and talked of his power

as his joy made ours brand new

As we said our good-bye’s

I broke down and cried, ‘cause I knew

I’d just seen Jesus in you

There will soon come a day

when all who are saved

will stand, before God’s, judgment seat

Not by their power

or great works on that hour

but only by the blood of Calvary

God’s eyes will behold us

as life’s book’s unfolded

I want to hear him say well done too

Come enter my rest

rejoice and be blessed

you have finished, your race is through

 

My child, I just seen Jesus in you

your light let his love shine through

In your eyes I beheld him

your glow was his reflection

your whole life, was his living proof

Now you’ll stay here forever

we’ll talk of his power

and his joy will be your joy too

There’ll be no more good-bye’s

no more tears in your eyes

there all through

We visited with him for some time, and the next night (since we didn’t have a service) we went to hear him sing. We went out to eat again and leaving the restaurant, I started writing this song, kind of as a tribute to my new found friend. Through this life sometimes we meet someone, such as Ronny, who you can say, “I didn’t see your attitude, your ideals, or your person, but I Just Seen Jesus In You”.

The Lights Of Home 174

There are troubles all around

on every thresh hold

War, death and sin

all across the land

Men’s hearts fail them for fear

As our LORD promised

in the distance

The glow of that city’s light

fills up the sky

Very soon Christ will make

his appearance

Hear the choir

feel the fire

we’re drawing nigh

 

So many who’ve been faithful

now are turning cold

As the prophet said

theirs a falling away

But the Spirits’ falling now

and he’s still saving souls

In his spirit and his power

Gift Song 176

From the east came the wise men

to see the baby boy

For God now had come to men

to see him was their joy

To him they brought gold

frankincense and myrrh

Precious things to a precious king

that told of something more

 

You see, as a baby

they honored him with gold

But as a man, for silver change

he would be sold

Sold to an angry mob

screaming crucify

They would not be still again

until they saw him die

 

The second one was frankincense

his gift he would bring

A sweet smelling fragrance

fit for a king

But little did they know one day

a similar gift would be

Brought and broke and poured on him

preparing him for burying

 

The third one brought the myrrh to him

a dark mysterous oil

Both sweet and strong, to show the joy

and pain that were to follow

One day while hanging on a cross

while mixed with vinegar

This gift was brought to him again

oh what pain he sufferred

And now we bring

our gifts this Christmas day

While soft and sweet

familiar carols play

Let us remember Jesus

he is our offering

The gift, the sacrifice of love

that makes the angels sing

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

January 14, 1998

I was thinking of the Myrrh that they offered Jesus mixed with vinegar, while he was hanging on the cross. It was an offering of mercy, because the Myrrh was to lessen the pain, but Jesus refused. Pondering the gift, I considered the Myrrh was also offered to him as a baby.

Then I went on to realize, they brought him gold, and sold him for silver (selling out cheap). They brought him Frankincense and the little sinner woman who washed his feet and broke the alabaster box and anointed him with it for his burial (Jesus said), it was either Frankincense or something very similar. Then the Myrrh brought by the wise men, and offered on the cross also, I see something here worth pondering.

I know you are holy

prepare my heart, lord cleanse it

 

Take away my self and pride

what’s left of me be crucified

My only one true hearts desire – is your fire

Let me see your glory

March 9, 1998

Written in Burkesville KY after preaching on “The Glory” when Moses went up Mt. Sinai and God let him see his hinder parts. When Moses came down, the skin of his face shown so bright that Aaron and the Israelites couldn’t stand to look at him. This song set the tone for the whole 3 weeks of revival.

Peace, Joy, & Love 179

 

Eye has not seen

ear has not heard

The things God’s prepared

for those he loves

But I have a teacher

who’s making me a creature

of Peace, Joy, & Love

in the Holy Ghost

 

Peace, Joy, & Love

Peace, Joy, & Love

Peace, Joy, & Love

in the Holy Ghost

Straight from above

I just cain’t get enough

Peace, Joy, & Love

in the Holy Ghost

 

If your having problems

I know he can solve them

With Peace, Joy, & Love

in the Holy Ghost

He’s the burden bearer

the every problem sharer

With Peace, Joy, & Love

in the Holy Ghost

Do You Know Me 180

 

Many years ago, in a Sunday morning

Sunday school, I knelt and prayed

With a heart full of sincerity

I asked Jesus, come and stay

He came into my heart that day

and he took away, the sinful stains

After all these many years now

I can still feel the power, when I call his name

 

Yes Lord, I know you

your all I’ve e-ver needed

I know you,

your face is all I see

When this life is through

and I stand before the judgment seat

All I kneed to know

is do you know me

 

Depart from me, ye worker of iniquity

I never knew you

No other words a man could ever hear

could carry so much shame

With a voice that sounds like a rushing, of many waters

and we all will be there

The only words I want to hear him say, on that day

is child well done

Eboni 181

She wiggles and she tickles

she’ll break right down and giggle

She is so funny

my little Eboni

She’s a pouter, and a shouter

she’s liable to get louder

She is so funny

my little Eboni

 

She’s just a little britches

but she’ll keep you in stitches

How she turns and twists and twitches

even trying to sit still, she fidgets

 

She’s a jogger, and a mawker

I’m proud to be her father

She is so funny

my little Eboni

Behind Closed Doors 182

 

Jesus gets so proud

Oh don’t he get so proud

When his people stop to pray

Thank him for the day – And love him

Cause people get so busy

We rush – hustle and hurry

But when I turn out the lights

He’s still waiting for me

 

And when I get behind closed doors

And I’m in the secret place

Then he let’s his glory fall

How I know – through the Holy Ghost – I’m free

 

Jesus makes me smile

Oh don’t he make me smile

He’s never far away

Or too tired to say – I love you

He whispers I am here

His spi – rit is near

And in the dark of the night

He’s still amazing to me

 

Now people like to talk

Oh don’t they love to talk

They stab you in the back

But Jesus knows where your at – So walk on

Christ is praying for you

Sta – nd tall and strong

Pay the gossip no mind

God will get the glory in time

 

And when you get behind closed doors

And your in the secret place

He will let his Glo-ry fall

Then you will know – through the Holy Ghost – we’re free

June 5, 1999 @ RFC in Moore OK

Bob Chitwood had asked Danny to change the words to this song after hearing him play some chord progressions on the piano that somewhat resembled it. Danny and Sherri changed the words the next morning and sang it before the morning service. Danny liked it so much that he sang it the following sunday back home preaching at Bethany Chapel .

Living On The Fault Line 183

The San Andreas fault

It’s a big one yes I know

Deep shifting from the earth’s heart

They say soon it’s gonna go

When the ground starts shaking

The earth starts quaking

Men are gonna run and roam

But no one wants to believe

They are living on the fault line

 

Living on the fault line

Playing a game with time

Living on the fault line

Just daring to defy

But the word is out, and the message written

When it all comes down

You’ll be regretting

It’s just a matter of time

When you’re living on the fault line

 

So many want to live

On the line between wrong and right

Something is gonna give

Both just won’t survive it

You’ll either love the one

And hate the other

One’s contrary to another

It ought to make you shudder

When you’re living on the fault line

 

Where to lay the blame

It’s the question of our day

Why am I this way?

Because of someone else you say

At the judgment call, when the verdict’s given

You’ll find who answers

For you actions

Ain’t no one’s fault but yours

You’re living on the fault line

Theirs Nothing To Hold Me Back Now 184

Now I know there are times

When my days are as night

Even in sunshine, the darkness abides

And I know there are times

When I’m tempted and doubt

But you’ve taught through the shadow you guide

 

Theirs nothing to hold me back now

Sunshine and blue sky abound

The sadness, the sorrows, have taught me somehow

Theirs nothing to hold me back now

 

Now it’s clear, I can hear

And my eyes can see

That good things, must follow the rain

And in time, the sunshine

Will shine bright once again

And you’ll see clearly, you’ve grown through the pain

Dyeing To Live (Or Just Living To Die) 185

So many things, so many distractions, so many desires

Everywhere you turn, there’s something else, to catch your eye

If we don’t die, to our serf and sin

When we finish this life, our living will end

If our life’s not hid, in Jesus Christ

We’re just living to die

 

Are you dyeing to live – in Jesus Christ

Dyeing to give – him all your life

Every day more – of his power and might

Climbing up higher –

Or is your heart filled – with the cares of this life

Do you measure your worth – by the things you acquire

Fun fortune and fame – living for today

You’re just living to die

 

Walking by faith, living by grace, happy am I

Dead to my sin, living in him, he is my life

More like him, I long to be

His life I will live, throughout eternity

To have more of him, there must be less of me

I’m just dyeing to live

 

They sit down and eat, rise up to play, having fun is their life

All fun and games, uphold your family name, making money ain’t a crime

Live life to it’s fullest, get all that you can

Look out for number one, that’s the way to get ahead

What good will this whole world do, when your dead

You’re just living to die

 

(Tag) My friend if you’re not dyeing to live

Your just living to die

Stand Still 187

Stand Still – and you will see the salvation

Stand still – and you will see the salvation

Don’t doubt – don’t run – don’t you be afraid

Remember on the cross he paid it

Stand still – and you will see the salvation

 

Jehoshaphat and all Judah cried out to the Lord

We have no might against this great army

Be not afraid – don’t you be dismayed

The battles not yours – but it is the Lord’s

Stand still – and you will see the salvation

 

Pharoah drew nigh to the children of Israel

They were sore afraid & cried out to the Lord

Fear not – stand still – the Lord shall fight for you

Moses said – Hold your peace – for his word is true

The enemy you see this day – you’ll see no more

 

When we’re tempted and our faith begins to wavering

Don’t fear – just cry out to the Lord

He’ll make a way – where there is no way

He’ll never leave – nor will he forsake

What he did back then – he’ll still do today

I got a dance in my feet…

I got a shout in my mouth…

I got a love in my heart…

Aids and strange disease

Kill on every hand

Hate crimes and genocide

War in every land

Children by the millions

Crying for some food to eat

In the world’s shape today

Tell me what’s it gonna take

To bring us to our knees

 

The Lord he has promised

If his people bow to pray

Humble themselves and seek his face

Turn from their wicked ways

He would hear from heaven

Forgive their sin and heal the land

In the world’s shape today

Tell me what’s it gonna take

To bring us to our knees

 

Will it be war on the home front

Does your child have to die

Aids, cancer or leukemia

Steal your loved one in the night

Does violence have to fill your streets

Till you hide away in fear

In the world’s shape today

Tell me what’s it gonna take

To bring us to our knees.

More 190

I got a hole in my Pocket

A hole in my soul

A hole in my heart, and it won’t let go

Got a hole, So I gotta get more

 

Got a new home

A new sports car

New clothes, TV and a VCR

Working hard, I gotta get more

 

Got a good Job

Live in the city

Living just as good as all those around me

But I’m Poor, I gotta get more

 

(Cho.)You can get more and more I guess

But the more you get, more becomes less

Keep on getting more and more – without the Lord

You gotta get more

 

But when you reach the end of your rope

You’ll see that more don’t fill that hole

All that time you wasted – working for more

All you needed was the Lord

 

With Jesus – there’s no hole in your pocket

No hole in your soul

No hole in your heart – that won’t let go

You got the Lord – don’t need no more

 

Don’t need a new home

Don’t need a new sports car

New clothes, TV and a VCR

You got the Lord – you don’t need no more

 

Don’t need a new job

Don’t need to live in the city

Or to live like those who live around ya’

You got the Lord – you don’t need no more

 

Your rich not poor – you don’t need no more

 

With Jesus Christ on board – you don’t need no more

A Great Reward191

He never promised me – that life would go down easy

He never said – that there would be no pain

He never promised days of only sunshine

But the sun will always shine after the rain

He never said that, my friends would not, forsake me

He never said I’ll not taste of poverty

But he always has a promise I can stand on

If I’m faithful through it all he’ll meet my need

 

Jesus, he is coming, very soon

Coming, to redeem, his chosen few

Coming, like a thief in the midnight

For those, who are clothed in spotless white

It’s not for gain, but for the crown that’s laid before me

Will you trade this world for one that’s yet to come

Preparation has already been made for you

And the trumpet will be sounding very soon

 

It’s not a great escape – but a great reward

Make no mistake – it’s written in his word

We live a life of sacrifice

Living in but not of this world

It’s not a great escape – but it’s a great reward

 

Heaven was not made – for our eternal playground

A fantasy of dreams and make-believe

It’s the throne of God – the holy habitation

Of seraphims and angels around our King

Heaven is not – a fire escape from hells flames

Nor salvation – ticket to heavens – lottery

Relationship with God is where the faith ends

To know him in – the fellowship – of his suffering

 

If you’ll come after me – take up your cross and follow

Deny yourself – lay down your life for him

Endure your affliction as a good soldier

When your race is run – you’ll enter in

See heaven is a place for the holy

Only over-comers will be welcomed there

As our Lord – who for the joy – set before him

Endure the cross – despise the shame – and you will win

 

It’s not the power – over all the evil forces

Not the freedom – but the liberty I see

Not his knowledge or his power to deliver

But it’s knowing through it all – he still loves me

There is a brother – there’s a sister – who is weaker

There’s a sinner primed and ready to be saved

Though we pray even so come Lord Jesus

Till he splits the eastern sky I’ll be found working

 

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

September 18/19, 2000

So many of us want a crown without a cross, a mountain top with out the climb and even heaven without the life of sacrifice and surrender that accompanies that great reward. But what reward is there without first there be a test? And what glory could there be in a crown you did not earn? See heaven is the great reward.

Jesus said in Rev 3:21, “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”(KJV) Paul said in 2 Tim 4:6-8, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day…(KJV) It’s the goal, the prize, the reward. Chilly Jordan is the finish line and heaven is our reward.

Why do we insist on finding some supernatural way out or around what God has ordained and appointed us to do… Light this darkened world. It may not be popular, it may not be easy, it may not be fun… but believe me friend the same God of Moses is our God today… and as Moses left all the riches of Egypt for “he had respect unto the recompence of the reward”. In other words “… the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Rom 8:18 ( KJV)

The Glory will be revealed in us. The crown I receive I will lay at the feet of my Savior, my Redeemer, my Lord and my King. Jesus will be what makes it heaven for me.

As Iron Sharpens Iron 192

As Iron sharpens iron

Faith kindles faith

Two standing together

Grow stronger every day

In the power of agreement

We cause all hell to shake

We sharpen one another

As iron sharpens iron

 

Now I may not agree

With your philosophy

I may not see everything

Exactly as you see

If we agree on one thing

That Jesus Christ is King

I’ll challenge you, you challenge me

Much stronger we will be

 

You may be persuaded

You don’t need anyone

You think you can make it

All on your own

No man is an island

You’re one member of his body

His eyes need his ears

His hands need his feet

He Comes Through 193

He said that he would make a way

Where there seems – to be no way

He knows how to make a way for you

For it’s when you face your darkest hour

He has the chance to show his power

In your weakness – his strength is made brand new

As you walk from day to day

Walking down this narrow way

That leads from the cradle to the grave

Know that he is leading you

Every hour he’s keeping you

He stands behind every promise made

 

He comes through, in the hard times

Through, all of Satan’s lies

When every ray of hope is gone

His love comes shining through

He comes through, in the nick of time

Through the doubt, that clouds your mind

When it comes to “Cain’t be done”

He comes through

 

The wind blew strong, the waves blew high

The ship was tossed from side to side

They said master – don’t you care – we’re about to die

So Jesus rose from where he lay

Said “oh ye of little faith”

With “peace be still” the wind and waves obeyed

Paul and Silas locked up tight

Praying along about midnight

They began to sing to God a song of praise

As God heard their anthem

His spirit moved among them

Every band was loosed – as Holy Ghost – shake that place

I Call On Him 194

I saw a vision of Hell and I trembled

Saw a child with no home and cried

I tasted of death’s chilling waters

And I ran to my savior to hide

Then I walked through the valley of temptation

And I fell, beneath sin’s, heavy load

But I awakened to find – Him still standing in line

Waiting – till his name I call

 

So I call on Him – He calls me friend

Till the long bitter end – he holds my hand

Through the trials of life

The temptation and strife

Even times when my light grows dim

He still calls me friend

And he has a plan

And I stand when I call on him

 

Many a good man has stumbled

And many a lost child come home

Only to find one not willing

To forgive and forget and move on

But Jesus has promised all believers

A love and a grace without end

He’s knocking my friend

Won’t you let him in

Just listen and do as I did

In the still of the midnight

When down in the valley

Your strength is mine

 

Walk right beside me

Lead me I pray

Bring me to your river

Don’t let me stray

Teach me to linger

In your presence serene

There nothing can hinder

For you are my strength

Time is a friend, To the broken heart

Cause time, keeps moving on

How dark the night, Or how dim the light

In time the morning will come

So let’s work while it’s day, As time ticks away

For soon the night surly comes

I’ll sing my song, As time marches on

Cause I know, it won’t be long

 

It won’t be long

And I’ll sing my song

Gathered round the throne

In my new home

For one eternal day

We will worship and praise

So while theirs time I must say

Friend, it won’t be long

 

Now friend if you, Have a load to bear

At times it just seems to strong

The way is hard, The road is dark

And sometimes the way seems so long

Through time and space, The Lord makes a way

Reach up, and you’ll find his hand

He’s proven he can, Time and again

Just remember, friend, it won’t be long

Finally Hope Comes 200

Walking in darkness

Lost and alone in this world

In the black of the night

With no hope and no light

No reason in life to live for

Then a word or a song

From a heart that belongs

To the God who made everyone

Then faith is met

With the Power of the Spirit

In a moment, new life is born

 

Finally Hope Comes

Out breaks the morning sun

Though the trial’s not nearly run

A new light I see

Right now, friend, I am free

And I stand if victory

I see the battle is already won

And Finally Hope Comes

 

What a man seeth

Why doth he yet hope for

What he holds in his hand

Takes no faith, understand

Even natural man can assure

But when eye can not see

And reason defeats

The faith that you’re building on

Put your faith in his word

In the Gospel you’ve heard

Stand – for his promise is sure

 

Afraid and ashamed

Scared to face my disgrace

Longing for life

Where’s there’s nothing disguised

No reason to hide my face

The sin and the shame

A continual refrain

With no hope, that ever, I’ll change

Then a soft voice is heard

I hear the sweet word

And find there is strength for today

I thought I could make it, without anyone

I thought I could get by, all on my own

But I can’t even stand, so Lord, lead on

 

Now I had my friends, and I had my fun

I had my way, with the thought of no-one

When I had my fill, then I had my fall

When I tasted death, then I heard his call
