     Album: I'm Nearer Home (1970)

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross;
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.

(Chorus)
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Repeat Chorus

     Albums: Family Album (~1968)

1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee
E'en though it be a cross that raiseth me
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee

2. Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee
Nearer to Thee

Near to the Heart of God

(Chorus)
O Jesus, blest Redeemer
Sent from the heart of God
Hold us, who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God

Near to the heart of God
A place where sin cannot molest
Near to the heart of God

Repeat Chorus


Never Before, Never Again

     Album: Raise the Roof (1994)

1. Born in a humble stable
Where no king should ever be
The little baby cried in a manger bed;
How could He be royalty?
No one had ever been born that way
No one ever will again
That little baby boy was the great I AM
And He was born to save the world from sin

(Chorus)
Never before (no, never before) and never again (and never again)
He was born in due season to die for all men
That tomb is still empty where Jesus had been
No, never before (no, never before) and never again

2. Well, He died on the cross at a tender age
For crimes He had not done
And the crowd looking on did not recognize
God's only begotten Son
No one had ever died just that just way
No one ever will again
Jesus rose from the grave and He's living today
Triumphant over Satan and Sin

Repeat Chorus twice

(Tag)
No, never before (oh, never, no, never)
No, never before (oh, never, no, never)
No, never before (no, never before) and never again


No Disappointments in Heaven

     Album: Greatest Gospel Hits (1966).

There'll be no disappointments in Heaven
No more trouble nor sorrow or pain
No more hearts that are weary or broken
No more souls that are living in sin

O the day we'll join in the singing
In that chorus Hosannas we'll raise
Will the saints all praise for Him ringing
We'll rejoice through the unending day

When all raptured souls get to Heaven
Meet Christ, our dear Lord in the air
Well, when life's crown to each one is given
Praise the Lord, I expect to be there

I'm bound for that wonderful land
With my Lord on that bright golden strand
When the saints that are saved all His glory we'll share
There'll be no disappointments up there


No News is Good News

     Album: Raise the Roof (1994)

(Chorus)
No news is good news when you're reading your newspaper
No news is good news when you're watching your TV
Oh, the only news worth hearing you can find right in the Bible
It's the good news of the One who came and died for you and me

1. War is on the front page; the deaths are on the back page
There's murder on the pages in between
There's news of rising prices and mankind's growing vices
And this old world is about as bad as I have ever seen

Repeat Chorus

2. If you're tired of bad news that rests about the home scene
Let me remind you Jesus saves today
Your sins can be forgiven; He'll set your mind on Heaven
And one day soon He'll come to take His children home to stay

Repeat Chorus

Good news, good news, good news, good news
Good news of the One who came and died for you and me
You and me


Now More Than Ever

     Album: Colors of His Love (1981)

Lord, I need You now more than ever

1. Precious Lord, I'm so weak, and it seems any more
This old world gets more wicked every day
I need strength so much stronger than mortal man can offer
More than ever, now Lord, please, I pray

(Chorus)
Now more than ever guide my footsteps every day
Now more than ever in the Spirit help me pray
Open up Your Word to me; help my blinded eyes to see
That I need You now more than ever

2. Sometimes Satan comes to me and says, "Your prayers are useless
"The Lord will never hear you again"
But if He doesn't hear me, why is He forever near me?
And He answers more than ever again

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)
Amen, amen, amen
