Lookin' for a City
Here among the shadows in a lonely land, We're a band of pilgrims on the move; Burdened down with sorrows, shunned on every hand, Looking for a city built above. Looking for a city, where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, never say good-by, There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too, Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew. Here in disappointment we so sadly roam, Friends no longer speak one word of love; O we have found contentment, Jesus promised us a home, And I'm looking for a city built above. We're looking for a city, where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, never say good-by, There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too, Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew. In this land of dangers going here and there Trusting in the blessed Saviors love; Tho' we may be strangers, in this world of care, Looking for a city built above. We're looking for a city, where we'll never die, There the sainted millions, never say good-by, There we'll meet our Savior, and our loved ones too, Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew. Come O Holy Spirit, all our hopes renew. |
For God So Loved
Forever they were banished from their paradise God passed through Eden's garden gates alone But his compassion wrote the pages unfolding through the ages Of a love that remains the greatest ever known For God so loved that He gave His only Son To suffer agony on a hill called Calvary Heaven's mercy reached my heart and bore my pain Hope was born through sacred blood for God so loved Shouts of praise were heard thoughout Jersalem As Jesus humbly passed through Zion's gates Then the gloom of Calv'ry sorrows dashed hopes of bright tomorrows When the heart of the loving Father turned away For God so loved that He gave His only Son To suffer agony on a hill called Calvary Heaven's mercy reached my heart and bore my pain Hope was born through sacred blood for God so loved Well, it seems that all was over when they placed Him in the grave But death's victory march was ended on that Resurrection Day For God so loved that He gave His only Son To suffer agony on a hill called Calvary Heaven's mercy reached my heart and bore my pain Hope was born through sacred blood for God so loved Hope was born through sacred blood for God so loved |
What a beautiful day
As I wake up in the morning Of each day that passes by And I listen to the sound upon my ears I cant help but keep a watch Toward the eastern sky And I wonder if the trumpet Will be the next sound that I hear What a beautiful day for the lord to come again What a beautiful day for him to take his children home How I long to see his face and to touch his nailed scarred hands What a beautiful day for the lord to come again All my earthly disappointments and my triumphs here below Made a way that I remember his last words He said he'd return and receive his children unto him And I'm longing to look upon the face of my lord What a beautiful day for the lord to come again What a beautiful day for him to take his children home How I long to see his face and to touch his nailed scarred hands What a beautiful day for the lord to come again How I long to see his face and to touch his nailed scarred hands What a beautiful day for the lord to come again What a beautiful day for the lord to come again Come again |

If it takes a Valley
There’s been times when I’ve believed Your approval / Means a life that’s free from pain. / Yet how many saints I know about have served You / Without any earthly gain. / In their suffering they discovered your sufficiency / And maybe sacrifice is where your sweetest blessings wait for me. If it takes a valley to really know your grace / Or if it’s in the desert where I’ll meet you face to face / Then turn the path I’m traveling to some dark and lonely place / Cause if it’s in the valley, then a valley’s what I’ll take. Have I mentioned that I’m clinging to Your promise / That I’m safe within Your will / have I told You how it feels to face the enemy / and know You are greater still / Guess I had to walk through danger Lord so You could show / The way You’d cover me with mercy and You’d never let me go. If it takes a valley to really know your grace / Or if it’s in the desert where I’ll meet you face to face / Then turn the path I’m traveling to some dark and lonely place / Cause if it’s in the valley, then a valley’s what I’ll take. I’m not saying circumstances never cause me fear / I’m just believing there is a purpose and even when it isn’t clear / If it takes a valley to really to really know your grace / Or if it’s in the desert I’ll meet you face to face If it takes a valley to really know your grace / Or if it’s in the desert where I’ll meet you face to face / Then turn the path I’m traveling to some dark and lonely place / Cause if it’s in the valley, then a valley’s what I’ll take. If it takes a valley, if it takes a valley, if it takes a valley, then a valley’s what I’ll take. |
