Verse 1

Ask what changes a man

And the answers are a dime a dozen

Points of view are like sand

Stretching out as far as the eye can see

There’s a thousand different philosophies

Chorus

But there’s just one book

And there’s just one name

With the power to heal

And the grace to save

You can search the world

For another way

But if you’re looking for the road to be on

There’s just one

Verse 2

There’s just too much at stake

To be wasting time on imitations

Promises and claims
There will never be a substitute

For the Blood The Word

And the Simple Truth

Chorus

Bridge

Door to open where truth and hope

Will be waiting there on the other side

Just one story that’s never ending

With life beginning in Jesus Christ

Chorus

I Don’t Have a Prayer Without You

Bruce Haynes, 1999 Haynesongs, Willow Branch/BMI

Verse 1

Sometimes I feel like there’s no way out

And my heart begins to doubt Your amazing grace

But I know that Your Word is true

You somehow have always seen me through

Through my darkest days

Chorus

I don’t have prayer without You

I don’t have a chance without You

Lord I need You here tonight

Won’t you please hold me tight

Make my heart true

Cause I don’t have a prayer without You

Verse 2

Sometimes life feels like a ball and chain

And I become a slave to old memories

But I know that You’ve forgiven me

You gave your life at Calvary

Just to set me free

Chorus

Bridge

Lord You’re everything I need

So take what’s left of me

Make me what I ought to be

So You can use me

Lord don’t You see

Tag

I don’t have a prayer without You

No I don’t have a prayer without You

Victory Shout

Kelly & Davy  Boggs/Odie Podie Music/BMI

Verse 1

God’s people came to Jericho

And marched around the walls

God said walk around this place

Don’t speak one word at all

He said on the last day

The seventh time around

Give a victory shout

And watch those walls come down

Chorus

Give a victory shout and watch those walls come down

Give a victory shout and watch those walls come down

The spirit of the Lord will bring them to the ground

Give a victory shout and watch those walls come down

Verse 2

Your problems have constructed

A wall that reaches high

First one thing then another

One stone at a time

A barrier to your blessing

Seems there’s no way out

Just give a victory shout

And watch the walls come down

Chorus

Bridge

Make a choice to lift your voice

You’ll be amazed if you give the praise

Though the wall reaches to the sky

Make a choice to lift your voice

You’ll be amazed as you give the praise

That wall will tumble down

Right before your eyes

Tag

The Spirit of the Lord will bring them to the ground

Give a victory shout and watch those walls come down

The Promise

Verse 1

I never said that I would give you silver or gold

Or that you would never feel the fire

Or shiver in the cold

But I did say you’d never walk through this world alone

And I did say don’t make this world your home

I never said that fear wouldn’t find you in the night

Or that loneliness is something

You’d never have to fight

But I did say I’d be right there by your side

And I did say I’ll always help you fight

Chorus  1

Cause you know I made a promise that  I intend to keep

My grace will be sufficient in your time of need

My love will be an anchor that you can hold on to

This is the promise This is the promise I’ve made to you

Verse 2

I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you

Or that the world around you wouldn’t see you as a fool

But I did say like me, you’ll surely be despised

And I did say my ways confound the wise

I didn’t say you’d never taste the bitter kiss of death

Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest

But I did say I’d be waiting right on the other side

And I did say I’ll dry every tear you cry

Chorus 2

You know I made a promise that I’ve prepared a place

And someday sooner than you think you’ll see me face to face

And you’ll sing with the angels and a countless multitude

This is the promise, this is the promise I’ve made to you

Chorus 3

So just keep on walking Don’t turn to the left or right

And in the midst of darkness let this be your light

That hell can’t separate us You’re gonna make it through

This is the promise This is the promise I’ve made to you

Tag

This is the promise This is the promise

I’ve made to you

My God Will Make A Way

Davy, Kelly and Odie Boggs/Odie Podie Music/BMI

1st Verse

Four hundred years we’ve lived in this strange land

Now Moses declares we’ll be free

But Pharaoh is hardened, He’s refusing our pardon

Proclaiming that we’ll never leave

Now the Red Sea is crossed, Pharaoh has lost

We marched through the night into day

God brought us out, we’re ready to shout

Our God has made a way.

Chorus

When darkness surrounds troubles abound

And storm clouds cover the skies

Gloom and despair fill the air

And tears fall from your eyes

The doubters declare your God’s unaware

But you just believe when you pray

Though you are facing your darkest day

My God will make a way.

2nd Verse

You’ve had difficult seasons, you’ve numbered the reasons

For clinging to heartaches and fears

No peace of mind, no rest can your find

A slave to worries and fears

You’ve given up hoping, settled for coping

A life filled with doubt and dismay

Though you are facing your darkest day

My God will make a way.

Chorus

Tag

The doubters declare your God’s unaware

But you just believe when you pray

Though you are facing your darkest day

My God will make a way.

He Knows, He Cares

Chas Bosage/Chaz Bosarge Music/ASCAP

Verse 1

Do you feel alone in a crowded room

Like a ship that’s drifting on and endless sea

You’ve been wounded by someone

You counted as a friend

It hurt so deep seems time just won’t mend

It may be a lonely place

But He’s just a prayer away

Let me say...

Chorus

He knows He cares

Where you are He’s right there

He sees your heart

All the hidden broken parts

Let Him take you in His arms

He Will heal your wounds and scars

He knows right where you are

Verse 2

I’ve walked the road  you  now travel on

I know how a broken heart can make you feel

When I thought that no one cared

I felt His gentle hand

His loving touch made me whole again

It may be a lonely place

But He’s just a prayer away

Let me say…

Chorus

Tag

Let Him take you in His arms

He will Heal your wounds and scars

He knows right where you are

Mourning to Dance

Kelly & Davy  Boggs/Odie Podie Music/BMI

Verse 1

No waitin’ til tomorrow

To say good-bye to sorrow

I’m ready for a change today

All the weight and the worry

Have me in a hurry

I need help without delay

I’ve been down so long

Living life without a song

It’s time I give God a chance

He’s ready to start putting joy in my heart

Turning sorrow into dance

Chorus

He turns mourning to dance

Cause He has power

Over circumstance

In your midnight hour

He gives life another chance

He turns mourning into dance

Verse 2

If your heart is breakin’

The enemy has taken

The hope you had for victory

You can’t find strength to try

All you want to do is cry

It’s been so long since you’ve been free

Now you’re full of doubt

You have lost your shout

It’s time to give God a chance

He’s ready to start putting joy in your heart

He’ll turn your sorrow into dance

Chorus

Tag

If we could ever learn

That He wants to turn

Our mourning into dance

  

He Knows My Name

Annie McRae, 2005 Christian Taylor Music/BMI

Verse 1

He counts the stars one and all

He knows how much sand is on the shores

He sees every sparrow that falls

He made the mountains and seas

He’s  in control of everything

Of all creatures great and small

Chorus

He knows my name

Every step that I take

Every move that I make

Every tear that I cry

He knows my name

When I’m overwhelmed by the pain

Can’t see the light of day

I know I’ll be just fine

Cause He knows my name

Verse 2

I don’t know what tomorrow will bring

I can’t tell you what’s in store

I don’t know a lot of things

I don’t have all the answers to the questions in life

But I know in whom I have believed

Chorus

Bridge:

He knew who I was when He carried my cross

He knew I would fail Him but He took the loss

Chorus

Tag

I know I’ll be just fine……

I Know Where I Stand

Mark Bishop, Jerry Kelso, Niles Borop/Possum Run Music, Centergy Music/BMI

Verse 1

The path that I followed

Was the way the world said to go

Then the Lord called to me to follow Him

Down a much different road

I turned from my sin He changed me within

And my heart was filled

When I found the place on the pathway to grace

Called Calvary’s hill

Chorus

I know where I stand I know where I stand

I’m no longer lost for at the cross

I was saved by the lamb

I know when I knelt I felt the touch

Of His nail scarred hand

Now I know where I stand

I know where I stand

Verse 2

If you’ve gone your own way

You’re lost and alone

You’ve reached a dead end

He’s calling to you you’ve heard His voice

Won’t you listen to Him

When I found the cross

The world quickly lost its tempting allure

I’m doing without all the worry and doubt

Now that I know for sure

Chorus

Tag

I know when I knelt I felt the touch

Of His nail scarred hand

Now I know where I stand

I  know where I stand

Fix It Man

Joe Bill Houston/Odie Podie Music/BMI

Verse 1

Well my God created this world in six

He said it’s in an awful fix

Without form and void darkness on the deep

He said I’ll fix light so you can see

Chorus

My God can fix it He’s a fix it man

He’s fixed souls and bodies all over the land

Then He returned to His home on high

To fix me a mansion in the sky

Verse 2

God said it’s not good for man to be alone

From old Adam He took a bone

He made the woman and He said from the start

This woman is yours until death do you part

Verse 3

Well He fixes them black He fixes them white

Yellow brown red and He fixes them right

He has no respect of persons you see

That same spirit He gave to me

Verse 4

When God started fixing me up inside

He said I’m looking for a place to abide

Give me your heart and live by the plan

You’ll soon know  I’m a fix it man

Verse 5

Someday God’s coming back for His church

He said you’ll be judged according to your works

For if your affection you set on me

I’ll fix your soul for all eternity

Verse 6

If every sinner in our fair land

Would take one trip to the fix it man

Just go to Him get a fix for free

It would sure cure our sick society
