Walking Down Here, Thinking Up There

(Chorus)
Walking down here, thinking up there
Where my Savior is
That is where I long to be
Where I wanna live
As long as I live down here
I won't be complete
But I'll walk down here, think up there
Till in His arms I'll sleep

1. Be not conformed to this world
But transformed in your mind
Think about what's up ahead
Not what you'll leave behind
I know we have to live down here
But our hearts should long to go
To be with Jesus
The One who loves us so

Repeat Chorus

2. All the people that I see
Walking around
Thinking how they might succeed
To be the biggest name in town
But Jesus said, "Come unto Me
"I've got a mansion for you"
"Walk down there, think up here,
"And I'll see you through."

Repeat Chorus

(Chorus)
Is that wedding music I hear?
The bride's adorned and ready to appear
There's Heavenly preparation for the wedding celebration
Is that wedding music that I hear?

1. The family is preparing for a wedding
All have been invited to attend
The bride is standing ready, waiting for the signal
When the Groom says, "Rise, my children, come on in"

Repeat Chorus

2. Soon we'll rise to leave this land of sorrow
For that ceremony in the air
The Father then will lead us through the holy land of splendor
Have you made your preparation to go there?

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)
There's Heavenly preparation for the wedding celebration
Is that wedding music
Oh, is that wedding music that I hear?

1. Ready are the saints for His coming
It closer than it's ever been
I'm looking for Jesus to step on a cloud
I'm listening for Him to say when
Yes, I'm listening for Him to say when

(Chorus)
We shall be caught up (we shall be caught up)
We shall be caught up with Him
Sorrow will stop; joy will begin
We shall be caught up with Him
Yes, We shall be caught up with Him

2. The graves will give up their occupants
The sea will give up its dead
We that remain will rise to meet Jesus
I will not fear what's ahead
No, I will not fear what's ahead

Repeat Chorus twice

(Tag)
We shall be caught up (we shall be caught up)
We shall be caught up (we shall be caught up)
Don't you know that we shall be caught up (we shall be caught up)
We shall be caught up (we shall be caught up)
We shall be caught up with Him




We Shall See Jesus
     Author: Dianne Wilkinson

     Albums: Live in Atlanta (1983)

1. Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Hoping to see Him as thousands were fed
He touched the blind eyes, healed broken spirits
He moved with compassion, and even raised up the dead

2. Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Watching as Jesus was crucified
No one showed mercy to one who had healed them
Yet Jesus loved them as He suffered and died

3. Once on a hillside, people were gathered
For Jesus had risen and soon would ascend
But then as He blessed them, He rose to the Heavens
And He gave them this promise: He'd come back again

(Chorus)
We shall see Jesus just as they saw Him
There is no greater promise than this
When He returns in power and glory
We shall see Jesus
We shall see Jesus
We shall see Jesus just as He is


We Three Kings

1. We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts, we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

(Chorus)
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

2. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring, to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Repeat Chorus

3. Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia
Earth to Heav'n replies

Repeat Chorus


What a Friend We Have in Jesus
     Author: Joseph M. Scriven, Charles Converse

     Albums: Beyond the Sunset (1964)

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Are you weak and heavy laden?
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Jesus is still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there

(Chorus)
What will you do for Jesus?
He's done so much for you?
He gave His life a ransom for sin
What will you do for Him?

1. (narration) Lord, You said "Greater love has no man
"But that he lay down his life for a friend"
And then You called me "Friend" and laid down your life
I don't know if I understand love enough to die for a friend
But Lord, help me to love enough to lay my life on the line for you as I live
Help me to take risks, reach out my hand, open up my heart for those in my life
For love of You
Give me greater love

Repeat Chorus

1. I've traveled many miles for Jesus
I've told folks of His amazing grace
And I don't have much to show for my blessing
But that won't matter when I see His face

(Chorus)
When I see His face
Just to know I'll be living in that Heavenly place
There to sit down with Jesus and saints of every race
What joy will be mine when I see His face

2. There will be a great family reunion
I can hear Mom as she starts to sing
Oh, in that land where death has been conquered
And my Lord, He is still the King of Kings

I want my life to be a beacon on life's raging sea
I want the world to see Jesus when they look at me

(Chorus)
When the world looks at me do they see Jesus?
When the world looks at me what do they see?
Do they see hope? Do they see love? Do they see charity?
When the world looks at me what will they see? (2nd time: "do they see")

2. When I spoke, did my words contain Your wisdom, Lord?
And when I prayed, did my prayers contain Your love?
And did my life reflect the glory of Your Spirit?
And did I show the ones around me they were loved?

Repeat Chorus

When the world looks at you do they see Jesus? (Do they see Jesus?)
When the world looks at you what do they see? (What do they see?)
Do they see hope (hope)? love (love)? and charity?

And, Lord, when the world looks at me what do they see?


Where the Milk and Honey Flow

     Albums: Faithful (1998)

1. Weighed down under sin's heavy load
I found it was a dead-end road
But now I'm bound for Heaven's abode
Since Jesus came and rescued me
This place I no longer call home
His grace keeps pulling me on
To where no trace of sin will be known
That's where my heart now longs to be

(Chorus)
No more crying, no more dying
Tears of separation all past
No more lonely, happy only
With many friends and loved ones forever at last
With my Savior's eternal favor
We'll hear the half that's never been told
We'll be singing, voices ringing
Where the milk and honey flow

2. I feel surely you'll want to go
Where sweet living waters flow
I know you will not regret it, so
Come along, take Jesus by the hand
To where there's a city of light
Up there never comes the night
Give Him your cares and join the flight
To that glorious Promised Land

Repeat Chorus twice

1. Who at my door is standing,
Patiently calling me?
Entrance within demanding
Who is the voice I hear?

(Chorus)
Sweetly the tones are falling
Open the door for me
If Thou will heed my calling
I will abide with Thee

2. Lonely without He's standing
Lonely within am I
While I am still delaying
Will He not pass me by?

Repeat Chorus twice

Pleads for us and always will?
Who was it died, yet lives still?
Nobody but my Lord

Who can do, who can do, who can do anything
Nobody but my Lord (and Master)
Who can do, who can do, who can do anything
Nobody but my Lord

Loves us even though we're bad?
Who answers prayers and makes us glad?
Nobody but my Lord

Suffered shame for you and me?
Who was it died to make us free?
Nobody but my Lord

Share it with us bye and bye
Take us to His home on high?
Nobody but my Lord

With Him
     Author: Tracy Dartt.
     Copyright: © Homeward Bound Music (BMI). Used by Permission.
     Album: Easy on the Ears, Heavy on the Heart (1976)

I can't bear to stay in this house alone
'Cause Mary and the kids have gone away with Him
She told me it would be this way
I never thought I'd see the day she'd go with Him
I remember the day she met Him
And the way she acted strange
But day by day, I watched her slowly change

Then it wasn't long before I knew
The kids had grown to love Him too
They could talk with Him
I watched my family slip away
I never thought I'd see the day
They drove with Him
How I tried to make them forget Him
Tried to be a better man
But I'll never hold them close to me, never see their faces again

As she came today, and they went away with Him, with Him
Jesus came today, took His Bride away, and they're gone with Him
There's no more to say, it's too late to pray
It's all over now for me
Oh, how different things would be
If I had taken time to see
That He gave His life for me
I could have gone with Him
I could have gone with Him
I could have gone with Him
I could have gone with Him
I could have gone with Him


Wonderful

     Album: Colors of His Love (1981)

1. If I had the words to say what the Lord means to me
I'd say "Wonderful to me"
I could speak with tongues of men to say how good the Lord has been
I'd say "Wonderful to me"

(Chorus)
Wonderful, wonderful
Jesus is wonderful to me
He's nothing less than the very best
He is wonderful to me

2. There's a special presence felt when your heart He starts to melt
It feels wonderful to me
If the Spirit's not denied, then the tears fall from my eyes
It feels wonderful to me

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)
He's nothing less than the very best
He is wonderful to me

1. Wonderful grace of Jesus
Greater than all my sin
How shall my tongue describe it?
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden, setting my spirit free
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me

(Chorus)
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus
(The matchless grace of Jesus)
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea (the rolling sea)
Higher than the mountain (wonderful grace)
Sparkling like a fountain (all sufficient for me)
All sufficient grace for even me (for even me)
Broader than the scope of my transgressions (sing it)
Greater far than all my sin and shame (my sin and shame)
O magnify the precious name of Jesus
Praise His name!

[2. Wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaching to all the lost
By it I have been pardoned
Saved to the uttermost
Chains have been torn asunder, giving me liberty
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.]

3. Wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaching the most defiled
By its transforming power
Making him God's dear child
Purchasing peace and Heaven for all eternity
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me

Repeat Chorus
