He Came Through

(The Lord Came Through)

Ashley Cleveland, James Hollihan, Russ Taff, Walter H. Wilson Jr./Warner-Tamerlane Pub. Co./BMI

Picture Moses at the Red Sea shore

Old Pharoah knows he can't run no more.

Those waters are way too deep and wide

and they can't swim and they can't hide.

Though he was just a man

Moses raised his hand

And the Lord came through, He heard their cry.

When hope was gone He turned the tide.

You can shake your head, But you know it's true.

When there was no other way

The Lord came through.

2nd Verse

King Darius and all his men

They threw old Daniel in the lions den.

He had done no crime but he had to pay.

For praying to the Lord three times a day.

But at the break of dawn they came looking for his bones

But the Lord came through, He pulled him out.

He tamed the lions, He shut their mouths.

You can shake your head, but you know it's true

When there was no other way

The Lord came through.

3rd Verse

These stories gathered dust upon the shelf

Until I fell into a trap I made myself.

My stuggles only brought me pain.

And I knew that I could never break those chains

But the Lord came through, He rescued me.

He broke the lock and set me free.

You can shake your head but I'm living proof.

When there was no other way

The Lord came through.

Final Chorus

The Lord came through. He always does.

With His power and with His love.

You can shake your head but you know it's true,

When there was no other way

The Lord came through.

You Saved Me

Jeff Silvey, Michael Puryear/Milene Music, BMG Music Pub., Inc./BMI

When I look into the mirror

I know I wouldn’t be here

If not for you

When I caused you so much pain

And you could have turned away

Your faith held true

When my life had turned to ashes

And my dreams went up in smoke

You were the constant one

My only source of hope

Chorus

You saved me

At each and every turn

As I stood frozen on the bridges I would burn

You saved me

When I was my own worst enemy 

Your love is the key that set me free

Lord you saved me

2nd Verse

When I look up at the cross and consider all it cost

I stand amazed

Then I’m driven to my knees

Cause my mind cannot conceive

Your endless grace

You know the very number

Every hair upon my head

You loved me and you chose me

Before I took my first breath.

God Says You Can

Marcia Henry, Karen Peck/Chesnut Mound Music, Karen Peck Music/BMI

(1st Verse rearranged by Kelly Boggs)

After years of serving the Lord

The only life you’ve ever lived

You left it all to find yourself

The freedom you thought you’d missed

But the open arms of your heavenly Father

Welcome you home again. 

You have no confidence to stand

But God says you can

Chorus

If God says you can you can do anything

Put your trust in Him and just believe

He’ll work it out somehow

When you find yourself starting over again

Begin by putting it all in His hands

Though the world says you can’t

God says you can

2nd Verse

Pressures of life will grind you down

‘Til you’ve passed the point of coping

No comfort you find on the left or the right

No reason left for hoping

The outlook is grim

But not according to Him

He’s always got a better plan

The world says you’ll never stand

But God says you can

Bridge

God is my rock, my sword and shield, I’ll trust Him faithfully

He said I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.

                          

I think I’ll Take Some Time

Bryant Jones Sr./Ship Publishing/All Rights by Just Mike Music/BMI/2nd verse written by Sharon Whitley

Well, I know it’s been said a time or two

It’s no secret what God can do

He did it for my mother, He did it for my father

He’ll do it for me, and for you too.

I’ve had so many ups and downs, 

Seems like my world goes round and round,

I look to Jesus and then I found,

My feet were planted on higher ground.

Chorus

I think ( I think)  I’ll take (I’ll take) some time (some time)

To praise the Lord.

For He (for He) has been (has been)

The Lord’s been mighty good to me.

I think (I think) I’ll take ( I’ll take) some time (some time)

To praise the Lord.

I want to thank Him for saving me.

2nd Verse

When the day of Pentecost was fully come,

After ten days of seeking the Son.

There came a sound like a rushing wind,

tongues of fire fell down on each of them.

One night as I had knelt in prayer,

The Holy Ghost came and met me there.

I gave Him my heart, I gave Him my soul,

Since then He’s had complete control.

When Nothing But a Miracle Will Do

Rhonda Elizabeth Belford, Aaron Wilburn/House of Aaron Music/BMI

When you’ve tried everything

And everything you’ve tried has failed

You’re standing at the harbor

And your ship of hope has sailed

Friends have no answers

Peace just can’t be found

Oh but there’s a hand of mercy
That can turn it all around

Chorus

When nothing but a miracle will do

There’s nothing that the hand of God

Cannot bring you through

I know He’s more than able

And He will deliver you

When nothing but a miracle will do

2nd Verse

When you’ve cried out in the darkness

And no one seems to hear

Just because you can’t see Him

Doesn’t mean He isn’t near

Perhaps He’s only waiting

Till you’ve done all you can do

Until He’s the only thing

That’s left to hold on to

Bridge

I hear Daniel, Jonah, Peter and Paul

They’re shouting with Lazarus

He delivered us all.

Redeemed

Gerald Crabb/Crabb’s Song Music/BMI

There is a word that’s so dear to my heart

It’s brought light to my dark dreary soul

For without it my end would be pain and despair

God’s city I’d never behold

2nd Verse

You know Satan once held me so firm in his prison

I’d never get out so it seemed

Until one day I heard footsteps down the hall of the dungeon

And a voice cried I’ve come to redeem

Chorus

Redeemed, the best thing I’ve ever heard

I’ve been brought here from there by that precious word

I’m free, I’m forgiven, I’m washed and I’m clean

Jesus bought me

Thank God I’m redeemed

3rd Verse

Oh how Christ loved us so much He was willing

To die on an old rugged tree

His blood was my payment

Once now and forever

I’m His thank God I’m redeemed

This is How It Feels To Be Free

Sean Craig, Dave Clark, Don Koch/Ariose Music, Praise Song Press, Admin. By E.M.I Pub./ASCAP

There’s a wall that has been standing

Since the day that Adam fell

Sin is where it started

Sin is why it held

Speaking as a prisoner

Who was there and lived to tell

I remember how it felt

I could hear the sound of freedom

Like a distant voice who called

And beckoned me to follow

Where I had never gone

Though my heart was willing

I just stood there at the wall

Praying somehow it would fall

But in a cross I found the doorway

And a hand that held the keys

When the chains fell at my feet

For the first time I could see

Chorus

This is how it feels to be free

This is what it means to know that I am forgiven

This is how it feels to be free

To see that life can be more than I imagined

This is how it feels to be free

This is how feels to be free, yeah.

2nd Verse

There are days when I’m reminded

Of the prison I was in

Like a living nightmare

Burning from within

I can feel the voice of evil

I can hear the call of sin

But I won’t go back again

See, once I tasted freedom

Then the walls could bind no more

Since mercy gave me wings to fly

Like an eagle I can soar

Bridge

Somewhere there’s a prison

Where the chains still bind

There but for the grace of God

Those walls could still be mine

So for all the captives I say.

I’m at your Mercy

Harrie and Joyce Martin McCollough, Jeff Silvey/Berlin Rd. Music, Joyce Martin McCollough Pub., Willow Branch Pub./BMI

Been hiding from the heartache, covering the pain

Hoping that the past would disappear

But all my buried failures are staring back at me

Every time I look into the mirror

Truthful accusations, my verdict has come in

Guilty of trangression, I’m convicted once again

Chorus

Lord I’m at Your Mercy, I’m drowning in despair

I’ve come crawling back to you with burdens I can’t bare

On my knees before you I am broken and ashamed

Lord I’m at your mercy so let your mercy reign

2nd Verse

Your love is overwhelming, it’s patient and it’s kind

And I will always marvel at Your grace

Every time I stumble I know I’m not alone

You stood by me through every trial I faced

Lord you’re my defender, forgiving every fault

So I now surrender, let the gavel fall

Soon Be Gone

Davy Boggs/Odie Podie Music/BMI

God spoke to Hezekiah a man of God of old

He had no time to call his friends or count up all his gold

For God had took away his days,

All that he could do was pray

Set Your house in order

Soon be gone

Chorus

We’ll soon be gone, soon be gone

This old world is all but ended, soon be gone.

All our treasures here will pass

We’ll be on our way at last

We’re gonna leave this world a shoutin’

Soon be gone.

2nd Verse

Each day we spend down here we’ve got one less day to go

‘Til we leave our earthly dwelling and take up our mansion home

Golden streets and mansions fair

Death and heartache won’t be there

We’re gonna shout around the throne

When we get home.

3rd Verse

The troubles that fall around us here won’t be up above

The hatred that is cast on us will be joy, peace and love

If we make Jesus Christ our king

Love Him more than anything

Gonna ride the clouds to glory

Soon be gone.

Do Your Little Part

David Rose/Odie Podie Music/BMI

Jesus took a little fish and bread

He blessed it and the multitude it fed

What He had did not seem like very much

But a little made a lot with God’s touch

Chorus

Oh be willing to do your little part

And do it from the bottom of your heart

What you have may not seem like very much

But a little makes a lot with God’s touch

2nd Verse

If it’s nothing but stand and clap your hands

Just do it and the Lord will understand

For He knows all about you any way

He’ll be your judge on that great judgment day

Power To Restore

Davy, Kelly and Odie Boggs, Rick Combs/Odie Podie Music/BMI

A life filled with wonder

Everything in place.

Just one moment of pleasure

Leaves you in disgrace.

You’re looking for an exit

From this place you’ve walked into.

But is God so understanding

That He would rescue you.

I need to tell you friend

Defeat is not the end.

Chorus

Power to restore

When sin has left you blind.

Power to renew

Your heart, your soul, your mind.

Power that abounds

With grace and love and more.

In the cross of Christ

Power to restore.

2nd Verse

It’s easier to give up

Turn and walk away.

But God is seeking children

Who may have lost their way.

He sent Jesus to the cross

To bring back all the lost.
