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! © 1999 Townsend and Warbucks Music (admin. by Gaither Copyright Management), Milene Music, Inc.

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. © 1942 Vep Ellis & Sons Music (admin. by Gaither Copyright Management). All rights reserved. Used by permission. Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven Lyrics Words by Henry F. Lyte Music by Mark Andrews 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. © 1930 G. Schirmer, Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission. 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.

Sinner’s Plea Lyrics Words and Music by Joe Roper 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.

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. © 1988 Faith Music (admin. by The Copyright Company).
