It  Came To Pass

1st

Sickness must be present for healing to take place

Lives must be broken so they can be restored

We must stop looking at our hard times

Like they were dead end roads

But avenues to prove that He is Lord

Chorus

It didn’t come to stay it came to pass

The Lord will move that mountain

If you’ll ask

The trials that we see today won’t last.....no

It didn’t come to stay it came to pass

2nd

If I should live by sight

Then I would be beaten down

Cause I can’t see past these walls of circumstance

But faith will be my substance

And my hope is in the Lord

And He will turn my sorrow into dance

Oh and He will turn my sorrow into dance

Joyce McCollough/Joyce Martin McCollough Publishing, Willow Branch Pub./BMI

He’s An On Time God

1st                    

You can ask the children of Israel

Trapped at the Red Sea

By that mean old Pharaoh and his army.

The water all around and Pharaoh on their track

From out of no where God stepped in

And made a highway just like that.

Chorus

He’s an on time God, yes he is

He’s an on time God, yes he is

He may not come when you want Him

But He’ll be there right on time

He’s an on time God, yes He is

2nd

You can ask the five thousand

Whose hungry souls were fed

On the banks of the river with two fish and five loaves of bread

What a miracle He performed for the multitude

What He did way back then

He’ll do the today for me and you.

3rd

Mary and Martha were worried

So they sent for Jesus to come

But they laid their brother in the ground,

‘Cause the Lord never showed up

They said “Lord if you’d been here,

Our brother would not have died.”

He was four days late but Lazarus got up

‘Cause the Lord was right on time.

Dottie Peoples/Dottie Peoples Publishing/ASCAP

3rd verse written by Davy Boggs

I Stand Redeemed

1st

When I think of all my faults and my failures

When I consider all the times I’ve let God down

I am humbled by the grace He has extended

I’m amazed at the mercy I have found

I could never earn His love on my own

Yet every time I come before His throne

Chorus

I stand redeemed by the blood of the Lamb

I stand redeemed before the Great I Am

When He looks at me

He sees the nail-scarred hands

That bought my liberty

I stand redeemed

2nd

Even at my best I am unworthy

I have nothing precious I could give

A broken life is all I have to offer

Yet it’s a priceless gift to him

The bitter mark of sin will never fade away

But I can go before Him unashamed.

Christina Deqazio/Kelly Garner/Belinda Smith/Centergetic/Centergy Music

I’m Coming Back To Praise The Lord

1st

Long ago there were ten lepers

Who met Jesus on the way.

They cried out to Him for mercy

And He spoke to them that day.

As they went, it came to pass

Their healing they did see.

Then one of them returned

And fell down at the Master’s feet.  He Cried

Chorus

I’m coming back to praise the Lord

For I’ve received the promise of His word

No, I won’t let the rocks cry out

I’m gonna lift my hands and shout

I’m coming back to praise the Lord

2nd

The Good Shepherd went out searching,

Searching for this one lost sheep.

I was lost and I was lonely, darkness closing in on me.

With the light of love He found me,

Gently brought me to His fold

I’m so thankful for a Savior,

I want the world to know.

3rd

I want to thank Him for the blessings

That he gives me every day.

Yes, He wakes me up each morning,

Shining sunlight on my way

He puts food upon my table,

Gives me clothes to keep me warm

He’s my peace in times of trouble

He’s my shelter from the storm.

Lana Rank/Odie Podie Music

Until He Came

1st

Though He had all the power and riches desired,

There was yet one position He had not acquired.

He was a king with a royal holy name.

But He was never a savoir until He came.

Chorus

He was born in a manger a king without a throne,

A resident of paradise but here He had no home.

The one who had everything gave it all for me

And He became my savoir when He met Calvary.

2nd

A pure spotless lamb that had never know pain

Put on the flesh and blood of a mortal man.

The weight of the whole world He bore

A sacrifice for sin for evermore.

Davy and Kelly Boggs/Odie Podie Music

He’s Father To Me

1st

If you talk about life’s accomplishments

My words would be few

I don’t have much to boast of I can’t compare fame with you

No stories of places of splendor divine

But if you talk about my Father, I have plenty of time

Chorus

Tongue could never tell

Words could never spell what He means to me

Webster could never define His majesty

He’s the author and the finisher and everything between

He’s almighty and He’s Father to me

2nd

In creation His spoken words put chaos is place

In His likeness He formed me from a hand full of clay

A million of His stars Light up the black sea

He’s awesome and He’s Father to me

Gerald Crabb/Chestnut Mound Music/Crabb’s Song Music/BMI

They Don’t Know What God Knows

1st

Starring from the waiting room her eyes were filled with tears

She was trying not to question how her sickness could be real

Doctor after doctor gave her just a few more days       

But with her faith in Jesus she had the strength to say

Chorus

They don’t know the God I serve already knows the answers

They don’t know He still works miracles

And holds us in His hand

Man may give his best opinion on what the future holds

But I look up for my solutions

For they don’t know what God knows

2nd

Christians if we live our lives the way that Jesus would

Then surely there will be those who will persecute our good

And just as Jesus witnessed to the scorning multitude

Let’s tell those unbelievers that they can know Him too

Bridge

He’s still the greatest doctor in the land

And His love can reach the heart of any man

Sonya Isaacs Surrett/Isaacs Family Pub./Pisgah Ridge Music/BMI

New Mercy

1st

I thought that I had crossed the line.

Walked away from love one time

Too many.

I thought I used up all the grace

Set aside for my mistakes

So many.

On my knees I found to my surprise

That your mercy renews with the sunrise.

Chorus

Oh, you make your mercy new everyday.

You change my life in so many ways.

You cradle me in your sweet grace.

You fill me.

Yesterday, today, forevermore

There’s one thing I know for sure.

Fresh as the morning dew

You make your mercy new

Every morning.

2nd

All the wasted times that I had known

A prodigal away from home

Not knowing

Everyday your grace was multiplied

With forgiveness waiting to provide.

Bridge

To save the entire world

How much grace would it take?

When the sun comes up

There will be enough.

Way Up On The Mountain

(Down In The Valley)

1st

There was darkness all around me

When my savior found me

Way down in the valley of despair

Then I told Him all my troubles

And all my joys He doubled

Now I’m back up on the mountain

Rejoicing in His care.

Chorus

I was down in the valley

Way down in the valley

When my savior heard my feeble cry

Now I’m back up on the mountain

Way up on the mountain

Drinking from the fountain

That never shall run dry.

2nd

Now, if you don’t watch old Satan

He’ll get you in the valley

He’ll hide you from the savior's guiding light

Oh but he will stay behind you

And he can never find you

If you wait up on the mountain

And fight a good fight

Ira Louvin, Anne Young/Central Music/ BMI/EMI Music Publishing

Can I Get Up?

1st Verse

Daddy caught me throwing rocks

And all my cousins laughed

It wasn’t very funny

As he led me down that path.

I knew what I had coming

Then I knew that he would say.

Come inside and sit a while,

Maybe later you can play.

All the men would sit inside

Oh the stories they would tell.

They talked of God and politics

About heaven and of hell.

The seconds seemed like hours

That old eight-day clock stood still.

Until I caught my daddy’s eyes

And asked like children will.

Chorus

Can I get up?

Have I been here long enough?

Can I get up?

Dad this sitting down is rough.

I think I’ve learned my lesson,

And I promise I’ll be good.

Oh daddy, can I get up?

2nd Verse

The laughter stops, my world crashes in,

Ravaged by my sin.

In spite of good intentions, Lord,

I’ve failed you once again.

I know that you could walk away

And I would never see your face.

Lord I know I’m guilty now

And I’m asking for your grace.

2nd Chorus

Can I get up?

This life of sin is rough.

Can I get up?

I’ve been down here long enough.

I’ve always known that you could help,

But I’ve wondered if you would.

Oh Father, can I get up?

Bridge

I haven’t meant to cause you shame,

I know that’s what I’ve done.

But I know you paid the price for sin

As if I was the only one.

Final Chorus

Can I get up?

I’ve wasted precious years.

Can I get up?

I’ve cried my share of bitter tears.

Can I get up?

This life of sin is rough.

Can I get up?

I’ve been down here long enough.

I’ve always known that you could help,

But I’ve wondered if you would.

Oh Father, can I get up?

Tag

I’ve always known that you could help,

Lately I’ve wondered if you would.

Oh Father, can I get up?
