Born to give them second birth

The Haven of Rest

     Album: I'm Nearer Home (1970)

In Jesus I'm safe evermore

1. My soul in sad exile was out on life’s sea,
So burdened with sin and distressed,
Till I heard a sweet voice, saying, “Make Me your choice”;
And I entered the “Haven of Rest”!

2. I yielded myself to His tender embrace,
In faith taking hold of the Word,
My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul;
The “Haven of Rest” is my Lord.

(Chorus)
I’ve anchored my soul in the “Haven of Rest,”
I’ll sail the wide seas no more;
The tempest may sweep over wild, stormy, deep,
In Jesus I’m safe evermore.

(Tag)
The tempest may sweep over wild, stormy, deep,
In Jesus I’m safe evermore.

(Chorus)
He was wounded for our transgressions
He was bruised for our iniquities
Surely He bore our sorrow
And with His stripes we are healed

1. On the cross crucified; in great sorrow He died
The giver of life was He
Yet my Lord was despised and rejected of men
This Jesus of Calvary

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)
And with His stripes we are healed

1. The night was so dark, I felt in my heart
My song had come to an end
My spirit was willing but my body was weak
I thought this is the way it would end
But Jesus came in like a thief in the night
Touched me and I was made whole
My song did not end; it started over again
And I wanted everybody to know
The story 'bout my

(Chorus)
Healing, oh, healing
The Great Physician ministered healing to my soul
The ills of my body were healed by the strips of His back
The Great Physician ministered healing to my soul

2. My body was weak, my spirit was low
It seemed I died a little each day
My friends tried to help, they tried to cheer me on
But there was nothing for them to say
Then Jesus came in like a thief in the night
He touched me and I was made whole
The doctors were stunned, they had nothing to say
But there was something they had to know
I just told them 'bout my

Repeat Chorus

(Bridge)
If you're in the valley of the shadow of death
You think that your time is at hand
Don't think for a moment He's forgotten your name
At the crossing of Jordan, true healing begins

(Tag)
The ills of my body were healed by the stripes of His back
The Great Physician ministered healing to my soul
The Great Physician ministered healing to my soul


He Came Up

     Album: The Best of Times (1991)

1. He came down from Heaven unto this earth below
He came down from glory and praises untold
He came down to man fashioned in their way
He came down to rescue, He came down to save

2. He fell down to His knees beneath a heavy cross
He came down when the last drop of His blood was lost
He came down to a tomb and while His body lay
He went down into Hell and took the keys away

But on the third day...

(Chorus)
He came up from the grave
Death could not hold Him; the stone was rolled away
He came up from the grave
In power and glory salvation in His name
He came up from the grave
The grave

Repeat Chorus


He Didn't Come Down

1. Often I stop to think just where I'd be
Had Jesus come down from that cruel tree
There'd be no hope for man, no peace to be found
Thank God, I'm glad that He didn't come down

(Chorus)
He didn't come down, oh, no, He didn't come down
Ten thousand angels were camped all around
He could have called them to set Him free
But He stayed on the cross for you and for me

2. Picture His mother there with tears in her eyes
As they mocked and scorned Him and pierced His side
They said, "If Thou be King, then come to the ground"
But He prayed, "Forgive them," and He didn't come down

Repeat Chorus twice

(Chorus)
He is the dearest Friend I ever had
He was the same kind of friend to Mom and Dad

Repeat Chorus

1. When I was a young man, my momma said to me
"Don't run in the wrong paths, or you'll find misery"
She said to trust in Jesus and hold my head up high
Don't crawl with the serpents for surely you will die
She said to take the Bible
God's Word to us through man
Apply the truths to my own life
And then I'd find a Friend

Repeat Chorus

2. Daddy was a good man; one day he told me, "Son,
"Don't fight any battles that's already been won"
He said there was a Savior one day at Calvary
Fought a mighty battle, and He won for you and me
He said if would ask Him
To save my soul from sin
That He would come and walk me
And that I'd find a friend

Repeat Chorus twice

Help Me, Lord

Help me, Lord, help me, Lord
Show me what to do
Let me speak the words of love
And lead someone to you

(narration)
Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
And where there is doubt, faith
And where there is despair, hope
And where there is darkness, let me bring light
And where there is sadness, joy
O divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receiving
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life

Guide my feet, guide my feet
Lead me every day
That I may help some wandering soul
To see Your face someday

He made a rainbow of my tears

1. He was better to me than all my hopes
He took away all my doubts and all my fears
Jesus made a bridge of my broken dreams
And made a rainbow of my tears

Jesus emptied my hands of my treasured works
And His love, precious love, He revealed
There was naught of the wounds in my aching heart
That the dawn of His grace hath not healed

(Chorus)
Love of God so pure and changeless
Grace of God so strong and boundless
He made a bridge of my broken dreams
And made a rainbow of my tears

     Album: Especially For You (1984)

1. Oftentimes we get discouraged and we think that no one cares
It's hard to find somebody just to sit down to talk and share
About the things that God has promised, and the things that He will be
In the song that I am singing, this is what He means to me

(Chorus)
He's my lighthouse (He's my lighthouse)
He's my bridge over over troubled waters (He's my bridge)
He's the old ship of Zion (He's the old ship) out on the ranging sea (on the raging sea)
He's my Cornerstone (He's my Cornerstone)
He's the one I'm leaning on (He's the ony)
He's the Man who conquered Calvary (He's the Man)
He's the Rock I'm standing on

2. Let us lift our hearts toward Heaven and thank Him for His love
He showed a new beginning on the wings of a dove
For He brought us through the dark nights and helped us through our sorrow
I'm excited in the Spirit, I can sing about His love

High and Lifted Up

     Album: High and Lifted Up (1993)

1. Jesus said, “If I be lifted up,
“I will surely draw all me unto me”
So as Moses raised the serpent in the wilderness
So high and lifted up must Jesus be
See Him on the cross, His eyes of love
Looking down on all who stood and watched His shame
As they mocked Him, and they scourged Him, God turned His eyes away
While high and lifted up, He took the blame

High and lifted up, a loving Savior
High and lifted up for all to see
Reconciled with God and man forever
High and lifted up on Calvary

2. Jesus said, “I'll surely come again
“That where I may be you will be near”
So I'm looking toward the Heavens, up to the Eastern Sky
Where high and lifted up He shall appear
There to meet a Bride adorned and waiting
As all of Heaven's angels start to sing
Never more to be a lowly man of Galilee
As high and lifted up we see the King, the King

High and lifted up in all His glory
High and lifted up in robes of white
Coming back to rule and reign forever
High and lifted up on robes of white

High and lifted up in all His glory
High and lifted up in robes of white
Coming back to rule and reign forever
High and lifted up
High and lifted up
He is high and lifted up on robes of white
High and lifted up is Jesus Christ


How Unworthy I Am
     Author: Mark Trammell.
     Copyright: Homeward Bound Music (BMI). Used by permission.
     Album: The Prestigious Cathedral Quartet (1984)

Oh Lord, How unworthy I am

1. Long ago on Golgotha's Hill
Sent to do His Father's will
A man called Jesus laid down His life for you and me
I don't know what I could have done
If God had not sent us His Son
How could I ever thank this Man for what He's done?

(Chorus)
Unworthy I am for the blood of the Lamb
Has washed my sins all away
Now I'm happy inside, forever with Him I'll abide
Oh, Lord, how unworthy I am

2. Not so very long ago
I felt an emptiness in my soul
I knew that I was deeply lost in my own sin
But now the Blood has been applied
And my soul is satisfied
No one could ever do what Jesus did for me

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)
Now I'm happy inside, forever with Him I'll abide
Oh, Lord, how unworthy I am
