Great Day Lyrics Words and Music by Edward Eliscu, Billy Rose and Vincent Youmans

When you’re down and out Lift up your head and shout “There’s gonna be a great day!” Angels in the sky promise that by and by there’s gonna be a great day!

Gabriel will warn you, Some early morn you will hear his horn. Rooty, tootin’. It’s not far away, Lift up your head and say, ”There’s gonna be a great day, great day!”

When you’re down and out, Lift up your head and shout, “There’s gonna be a great day!” Angels in the sky Promise that by and by There’s gonna be a great day!

Gabriel will warn you, Some early morn you will hear his horn. Rooty, tootin’. It’s not far away, Lift up your head and say, ”There’s gonna be a great day, great day!”

When you’re down and out, Lift up your head and shout, “There’s gonna be a great day!” Angels in the sky say that by and by There’s gonna be a great day.

Gabriel will warn you, Some early morn you will hear his horn. Rooty, tootin’, rooty tootin’, rooty tootin’, rooty tootin’. It’s not very far away, Lift your head and say, ”There’s gonna be a great day!” ”There’s gonna be a great day!” © 1929 WB Music Corp., Chappell & Co.

Love Is Like a River Lyrics Words and Music by Suzanne Jennings and Jeff Silvey

His love is like a river, runnin’ and a rollin’, Flowin’ from the lazy streams. Tumblin’ through the mountains, Movin’ through the valleys over everything in between. Rushin’ and a floodin’ ‘til all of a sudden It’s washin’ all over me. ‘Cause His love is like a river, Runnin’ and a rollin’, flowin’ to the deep blue sea.

Down from Minnesota, the Mighty Mississippi rolls, Pickin’ up momentum ‘til her ragin’ flood unfolds. Rushin’ through Missouri, down the Arkansas ravines. Movin’ out of Memphis all the way to new Orleans.

Well, His love is like a river, runnin’ and a rollin’, Flowin’ from the lazy streams. Tumblin’ through the mountains, Movin’ through the valleys over everything in between. Rushin’ and a floodin’ ‘til all of a sudden It’s washin’ all over me. ‘Cause His love is like a river, Runnin’ and a rollin’, flowin’ to the deep blue sea.

Well, His love is never-ending, pourin’ like a river, a flood. His mercy’s overflowin’, streamin’ from His previous blood. His blessings from the fountain, spillin’ like the roarin’ tide. Overwhelm my spirit like swimmin’ in the ocean wide. Yeah!

His love is like a river, runnin’ and a rollin’, Flowin’ from the lazy streams. Tumblin’ through the mountains, Movin’ through the valleys over everything in between. Rushin’ and a floodin’ ‘til all of a sudden It’s washin’ all over me. ‘Cause His love is like a river, Runnin’ and a rollin’, flowin’ to the deep blue sea.

His love is like a river, runnin’ and a rollin’, Flowin’ from the lazy streams. Tumblin’ through the mountains, Movin’ through the valleys over everything in between. Rushin’ and a floodin’ ‘til all of a sudden It’s washin’ all over me. ‘Cause His love is like a river, Runnin’ and a rollin’, flowin’ to the deep blue sea. Yes, His love is like a river, runnin’ and rollin’, Flowin’ to the deep blue sea!

Heaven’s Joy Awaits Lyrics Words and Music by Vep Ellis

When we leave this lowland, We will cross the Jordan; Past the chilly torrent, Heaven’s joy awaits.

Just beyond the blue horizon, Just above the starry sky, starry blue sky. Far above this land of sorrow, Way above each tear and sigh, every sigh. Just a few more miles before us, Just a little while to wait, patiently wait. Soon we’ll sing redemption’s chorus, Heaven’s joy awaits, Heaven awaits.

Heaven’s breeze is blowing, Gently to me calling. I will soon be going, Through the pearly gates.

Just beyond the blue horizon, Just above the starry sky, starry blue sky. Far above this land of sorrow, Way above each tear and sigh, every sigh. Just a few more miles before us, Just a little while to wait, patiently wait. Soon we’ll sing redemption’s chorus, Heaven’s joy awaits, Heaven awaits.

Just beyond the blue horizon, Just above the starry sky, starry blue sky. Far above this land of sorrow, Way above each tear and sigh, every sigh. Just a few more miles before us, Just a little while to wait, patiently wait. Soon we’ll sing redemption’s chorus, Heaven’s joy awaits, Heaven awaits.

Praise, my soul, the King of glory, To His feet your tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Evermore His praises sing. Hallelujah, hallelujah, praise the everlasting King.

Praise Him for His grace and favor, To our fathers in distress. Praise Him, still the same as ever, Slow to chide and swift to bless. Hallelujah, hallelujah, Glorious in His faithfulness, glorious in His faithfulness.

Angels in the heights adore Him, We behold Him face to face. Saints triumphant bow before Him Gathered in from every race. Hallelujah, hallelujah, praise with us the God of grace. Hallelujah, hallelujah, praise with us the God of grace, The God of grace.

Sweet, Sweet Spirit Lyrics Words and Music by Doris Akers

There’s a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place, And I know that it’s the Spirit of the Lord. There are sweet expressions on each face, And I know you feel the presence of the Lord.

Sweet Holy Spirit, sweet heavenly Dove, Stay right here with us, filling us with Your love. And for these blessings, we lift our hearts in praise. Without a doubt we’ll know that we have been revived When we shall leave this place.

Through this world and its sin, I have wandered in need of a friend. I’ve been told of Your deeds, “Please help me today” is my plea. Hear my cry, hear my call, Take my hand. Cleanse my soul, Lift me up, help me to stand.

I’m so blue, all alone, Please, Lord, guide my soul to Your home. Hear my cry, hear my call, Take my hand. Cleanse my soul, Lift me up, help me to stand.

I’m so blue, all alone. Please, Lord, guide my soul to Your home, Up to Your home.

Swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride. Sing down, chariot, stop and let me ride. Rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord, Calm and easy I’ve got a home on the other side.

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field, He saw an angel workin’ on a chariot wheel. He wasn’t too particular about the chariot wheel. He just wanted to see how a chariot feels.

Why don’t you swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride. Swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride. Rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord, Calm and easy I’ve got a home on the other side.

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, Ezekiel went down and he got on board. The chariot went a bumpin’ up and down that road. He wasn’t too particular about the bumpin’ on that road. He just wanted to lay down his heavy load.

Why don’t you swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride. Swing down, chariot, stop and let me ride. Rock me, Lord, rock me, Lord, Calm and easy I’ve got a home on the other side.

Blow the Trumpet in Zion Lyrics Words and Music by Craig Terndrup

They rush on the city; they run on the wall. Great is the army that carries out His Word. They rush on the city; they run on the wall. Great is the army that carries out His Word. The Lord utters His voice before His army. The Lord utters His voice before His army.

I then shall live as one who’s been forgiven; I’ll walk with joy to know my debts are paid. I know my name is clear before my Father; I am His child, and I am not afraid. So greatly pardoned, I’ll forgive my brother, The law of love I gladly will obey.

I then shall live as one who’s learned compassion; I’ve been so loved that I’ll risk loving too. I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges; I’ll dare to see another’s point of view. And when relationship demand commitment, Then I’ll be there to care and follow through.

Your kingdom come around and through and in me; Your power and glory, let them shine through me; Your Hallowed name, O may I bear with honor, And may You living Kingdom come in me. The Bread of Life, O may I share with honor, And may You feed a hungry world through me. Amen. Amen. Amen.

There’s a road called the holy highway that once was a desert land. Very soon you’ll hear the sound of a holy marching band. Everlasting joy upon them, there’s a remnant strong and true. We bring the song back to Zion. We bring the praise back to You.

We exalted You, God Almighty; You are worthy to be praised. Let all nations bow before You, holy Ancient of all days.

There’s a road called the holy highway where the people dance and shout, Where the enemy is running with confusion all about. Raise your banners, sing the victory; raise them high. His Word is true. We bring the song back t Zion. We bring the praise back to You.

We exalted You, God Almighty; You are worthy to be praised. Let all nations bow before You, holy Ancient of all days.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord! Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord! Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

There’s a road called the holy highway that once was a desert land. Very soon you’ll hear the sound of a holy marching band. Everlasting joy upon them, there’a remnant strong and true.

I’ve told all my troubles goodby; goodby to each tear and each sigh; This world where I roam cannot be my home; I’m bound for that land in the sky. I walk and I talk with my Lord; I feast every day on His Word; Heaven is near and I can’t stay here, goodby world, goodby.

Now don’t you weep for me when I’m gone ‘cause I won’t have to leave here alone. And when I hear that last trumpet sound, my feet won’t stay on the ground. I’m gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly; gonna rise with my Lord through the skies; Heaven is near and I can’t stay here; goodby world, goodby.

I won’t have the blues anymore when I step across to that shore; And I’ll never pine, for I’ll leave behind my heartaches and tears evermore. A day, maybe two, then goodby; tomorrow I’ll rise up and fly. Heaven is near and I can’t stay here; goodby world, goodby.

Now don’t you weep for me when I’m gone ‘cause I won’t have to leave here alone. And when I hear that last trumpet sound, my feet won’t stay on the ground. I’m gonna rise with a shout, gonna fly; gonna rise with my Lord through the skies; Heaven is near and I can’t stay here; goodby world, goodby.

Just a little while to stay here, just a little while to wait and then I’ll say goodby, Goodby, goodby, goodby; Goodby world, goodby; World, goodby!

Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Oh, what words I hear Him say! Happy place! So near, so precious! May it find me there each day.

Sitting at the feet of Jesus, I would look upon the past; For His love has been so gracious, It has won my heart at last.

Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Where can mortals be more blest? There I lay my sins and sorrows; And, when weary, find sweet rest.

Sitting at the feet of Jesus, There I love to weep and pray. While I from His fullness gather Grace and comfort every day.

Bless me, O my Savior, bless me, As I sit low at Thy feet. Oh, look down in love upon me; Let me see Thy face so sweet. Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus; Make me holy as He is. May I prove I’ve been with Jesus, Who is all my righteousness. He is all my righteousness.
