And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land
Where my possessions lie

I am bound for the promised land
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land
Repeat Chorus

And be forever blessed
When shall I see my father's face
And in His bosom rest
Repeat Chorus twice

Albums: Something Special (1982)
1. Many times I get discouraged, wondering what I can do
Troubles seem to pile upon me, with no answer in view
Then a voice within me whispers, "There is one who still cares"
On your knees and call on Jesus; He will answer your prayers
(Chorus)
I don't wanna live (live no more) no more (live no more)
without Jesus (live no more without Jesus)
I don't want the heartaches, nor do want the sin that's following me
I don't wanna live (live no more) no more (live no more)
without knowing (live no more without knowing)
I've a life eternal in a home supernal waiting for me (waiting for me)
2. Lonely roads I have to travel ofttimes all alone
Seems I have no earthly help; my friends and loved ones are gone
Greater love is waiting for me at the end of this road
I've a place just waiting for me, and I'm ready to go
Repeat Chorus twice
(Tag)
I've a life eternal in a home supernal waiting for me
Repeat Chorus three times
I Enjoy the Trip

Albums: Greater (1983)
1. I heard songs about people walking life's dark, weary highway
Songs of how we stumble and fall, how we slide and slip
But I am here to tell you there's victory in Jesus
I know things could be better, but I enjoy the trip
(Chorus)
I enjoy the trip walking with my Savior
I enjoy the trip holding to His hand
When life begins to taste a little low, Jesus adds the flavor
At His table I will dine; I am His and He is mine
I am happy all the time, 'cause I enjoy the trip
2.
Even though the sun comes up and tomorrow may look brighter
I'm happy in the Lord today, 'cause He makes my load lighter
And it seems as if He seems to lift me up when I get weary
Some folks think I'm flip, but I enjoy the trip
Repeat Chorus

Album: Everything's Alright (1971)
1. His love is like a peaceful river
That just keeps a-rolling on and one
He gives me strength when I am weak
Within my heart He gives a
happy song
2.
His love will never, never leave me
If I walk that narrow, narrow road
His mighty Hand will lift me up
If I fall beneath a heavy load
(Chorus)
Love, love, oh, what love
Given from the Father above
He gave me peace, sweet peace of mind
I know I am His, and I know He's mine
3. As long as we have faith in Jesus
Live a life that's free from shame and sin
Someday we'll hear these words of welcome
"My child, you've run the race, you're welcome in."
Repeat Chorus

I know He's mine

(Chorus)
I wanna know, yeah (that He) will welcome me there
I do not want to be denied
I want to live (let me live) in that

And that's enough for me to know
Repeat Chorus
I do know the day my Savior will come
But I must be prepared to go
But if from earth someday He will call me away
Then that's enough for me to know
Repeat Chorus
I want to know, know, know that He will welcome me there
I do not want, want, want to be denied
I want to live in that city
to so fair
And that's enough (that's enough) for me to know

Album: The Prestigious Cathedral Quartet (1984)
1. It's written in God's Holy Word that Christ shall reappear
To take His blessed children home; that time is very near
He wanted all the saints to know; that's why He gave us signs
If He should come this very hour I would not be surprised
(Chorus)
Well, I would not be surprised (if old Gabriel's trumpet should sound)
Well, I would not be surprised (if I should leave the ground)
Well, I would not be surprised if He should come back tonight
When I see the world and all its signs
2. You'd better get prepared to go, so put your trust in Him
He'll cleanse your weary heart from sin if you would ask Him in
When He'll return we can't be sure; that's why He gave us signs
If He should come this very night I would not be surprised
Repeat Chorus
I would not be surprised
I would not be surprised
Repeat Chorus
When I see the world and all its signs
When I see the world and all its signs
Well, I would not be surprised,
I would not be surprised
I would not be surprised
when I see the world and all its signs

Album: Live in Atlanta (1983)
1. I traveled the country doing one night stands
Preaching and singing with a five-piece Gospel band
Lord, I get so tired and lonely travelling down a long highway
But you know I'm (I'm) going home someday
(Chorus)
I'm coming home to be with Jesus some sweet day
I'm coming home, and when I get there I'm gonna stay
I'm a-gonna rest beside the river of life
All my troubles will be over in that city of life
'Cause I'm (I'm) going home someday
2. Oh, Lord, I get so lonesome on the road
You know, nobody else but You, Lord, will ever
try to share my heavy load
Sometimes they like my singing, sometimes it's hard to say
But you know I'm (I'm) going home someday
Repeat Chorus
In the Garden

Albums: Beyond the Sunset (1964)
1. I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
2. He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
(Chorus)
And He walks with me, and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
It's Almost Over

1. The winds of war keep raging through the land, far and near
The cry of hungry children, the pain, the falling tear
Nations gather round the table for peace they tried for years
Yet war still rages higher, sweeping through the battlefields
2. We're living with the greatest promise that we will ever know
The promise came from Heaven, of blessed peace and home
Battles may keep raging higher, but we will have no fear
The Savior's arms are open, and soon He shall appear
(Chorus)
It's almost over; we are going home
Our Lord is coming to claim His own
Be faithful children, brave and strong
It's almost over; we are going home.
We're going Home
Repeat Chorus

It's almost over
It's almost over
We are going home
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Albums: A Cathedral Christmas A Capella (1985)
1. It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men
"From Heaven's all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing
2. For lo, the days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old
When with the ever-circling years
Shall come the age of gold
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing

Album: High and Lifted Up (1993)
1. One day I came to Him, I was so thirsty
I asked for water, my throat was so dry
He gave me water that I have never dreamed of
But for this water, my Lord had to die
(Chorus)
He said, “I thirst,” yet He made the rivers
He said, “I thirst,” yet He made the sea
“I thirst,” said the King of the Ages
In His great thirst, He brought water to me
2. Now there's a river that flows as clear as crystal
It comes from God's throne above
And like a river, it wells up inside me
Bringing mercy, and life-giving love
Repeat Chorus (twice)

(Chorus)
It's alright with my soul
It's alright; He made me whole
My King Jesus gave me peace, and it's alright
It's alright everyday
It's alright, I'm on my way
My King Jesus gave me peace, and it's alright
1. Someday my life down here will be over
Someday the Master's voice shall call for me
And when they lay me down beneath the clover
My soul shall dwell with Him eternally
So when I lay my head upon my pillow
Yes, when I'm all alone with God at night
And though my day was like a raging billlow
I hear His voice; He tells me: "It's alright."
Repeat Chorus twice

My King Jesus gave me peace
My King Jesus gave me peace
My King Jesus gave me peace, and it's alright

Albums: I've Just Started Living (1989)
1. Man has climbed every mountain,no matter how high
He has conquered the planets from sky to sky
But there is a place where man has not been
And that's where my Lord says He's buried my sin
(Chorus)
In the depths of the sea of God's forgetfulness
Removed as east is from west
Far away from all power and principality
My sins are in the depths of the sea
2. Gone are the shackles, gone are the stains
I'm free from the bondage, free from the chains
My sins are separated as darkness from dawn
Praise God, I'm forgiven, my sins are all gone
Repeat Chorus
(Tag)
Far away from all power and principality
My sins are in the depths of the sea
My sins are in the depths of the sea
