1. In a letter from Apostle Paul
He confessed to one and all
That the spirit's strong, but the flesh is awful weak
Things I should do, I don't
Things I say I will, I won't
But my God's begun a work in me that will one day be complete

(Chorus)
And I'm know the man that I ought to be
At times I fall short of what You want of me
And I'm surely not the man I want to be
But thank God, I'm not the man I used to be

2. Just like Paul of old
I keep pressing toward the goal
Forgetting all the things that lay behind
But instead I'll look ahead
And I'll go where I'm led
Toward the mark, for the prize that will be mine

Repeat Chorus twice


Master Builder

1. Jesus was a carpenter a long time ago
Joseph taught Him all things He needed to know
He grew up straight and strong, working on the shores of Galilee
He learned to use a hammer, and He learned to drive a nail
And when He finished building, it served Him mighty well
Cause He started on a building that stretched from sky to sky and sea to sea

(Chorus)
Jesus is the Master Builder
He built His church upon a rock
He built it upon a firm foundation
And the work is never gonna stop (no, it never gonna stop)
Jesus is the Master Builder
He takes the old and makes it new
He can take a life of sin, make it clean and pure within
And He can make a brand new you

2. Now He's back in Heaven and He's building once again
He's working on a city called the New Jerusalem
It sits on firm(?) foundations according to the Master Builder's plan
The streets are lined with mansions for the saints to move right in
And when He's finished building, He'll come back again
To take us to that city fashioned by the Master Builder's hand

Repeat Chorus twice


Mexico

1. I went down to Mexico to have a little fun
To hang around, see the town, lay out in the sun
As I walked along one evening just outside of town
I passed a little chapel, and I heard a pretty sound
Curiosity carried me in to stay a while
And I heard things I hadn't heard since I was a child
They sang about God's saving grace right there in that little place
I found Jesus down in Mexico

(Chorus)
I know that I never shall forget
All the pretty things I found in Mexico, and yet
The most beautiful and precious ever told
Was salvation that I found in Mexico

2. I may never see that little Spanish town again
But I'll always think of it as where my life begain
Every day I'm lifted up, just knowing that I'm saved
I don't have to worry about life beyond the grave
I'm depending on God's power to keep me safe through every hour
Eternity is beautiful to me
I have a better life, I know; I tell it everywhere I go
I found Jesus down in Mexico

Repeat Chorus twice

1. More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love Who died for me.

(Chorus)
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love Who died for me.

2. More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.

Repeat Chorus

1. My Jesus, I love Thee; I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer; my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now

2. In mansions of glory and endless delight
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
"If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis."


My Lord Will Send a Moses

1. My Lord sent Moses down to see king Pharaoh
Told him to "Loose my people, and let them go"
They were all burdened down with trouble and doubt
My God sent Moses and He led them out

(Chorus)
My Lord will send a Moses to lead you out
If you will trust Him as you wander about
If you are burdened down with trouble, don't doubt
My Lord will send a Moses to lead you out

He'll send a Moses (He'll send a Moses)

2. We pilgrims now have started over the way
To that fair land of rest and eternal day
When those around are failing, pray on and shout
My Lord will send a Moses to lead you out

3. Satan is watching, he is waiting around
To find your spirit getting close to the ground
If you are strugging with him, pray on and shout
My Lord will send a Moses to lead you out

Repeat Chorus twice

He'll send a Moses (He'll send a Moses)
My Lord will send a Moses
My Lord will send a Moses
My Lord will send a Moses
My Lord will send a Moses to lead you out
