He Came Through
(The Lord Came Through)
Ashley Cleveland, James Hollihan, Russ Taff, Walter H. Wilson Jr./Warner-Tamerlane Pub. Co./BMI
Picture Moses at the Red Sea shore
Old Pharoah knows he can't run no more.
Those waters are way too deep and wide
and they can't swim and they can't hide.
Though he was just a man
Moses raised his hand
And the Lord came through, He heard their cry.
When hope was gone He turned the tide.
You can shake your head, But you know it's true.
When there was no other way
The Lord came through.
2nd Verse
King Darius and all his men
They threw old Daniel in the lions den.
He had done no crime but he had to pay.
For praying to the Lord three times a day.
But at the break of dawn they came looking for his bones
But the Lord came through, He pulled him out.
He tamed the lions, He shut their mouths.
You can shake your head, but you know it's true
When there was no other way
The Lord came through.
3rd Verse
These stories gathered dust upon the shelf
Until I fell into a trap I made myself.
My stuggles only brought me pain.
And I knew that I could never break those chains
But the Lord came through, He rescued me.
He broke the lock and set me free.
You can shake your head but I'm living proof.
When there was no other way
The Lord came through.
Final Chorus
The Lord came through. He always does.
With His power and with His love.
You can shake your head but you know it's true,
When there was no other way
The Lord came through.
You Saved Me
Jeff Silvey, Michael Puryear/Milene Music, BMG Music Pub., Inc./BMI
When I look into the mirror
I know I wouldn’t be here
If not for you
When I caused you so much pain
And you could have turned away
Your faith held true
When my life had turned to ashes
And my dreams went up in smoke
You were the constant one
My only source of hope
Chorus
You saved me
At each and every turn
As I stood frozen on the bridges I would burn
You saved me
When I was my own worst enemy
Your love is the key that set me free
Lord you saved me
2nd Verse
When I look up at the cross and consider all it cost
I stand amazed
Then I’m driven to my knees
Cause my mind cannot conceive
Your endless grace
You know the very number
Every hair upon my head
You loved me and you chose me
Before I took my first breath.
God Says You Can
Marcia Henry, Karen Peck/Chesnut Mound Music, Karen Peck Music/BMI
(1st Verse rearranged by Kelly Boggs)
After years of serving the Lord
The only life you’ve ever lived
You left it all to find yourself
The freedom you thought you’d missed
But the open arms of your heavenly Father
Welcome you home again.
You have no confidence to stand
But God says you can
Chorus
If God says you can you can do anything
Put your trust in Him and just believe
He’ll work it out somehow
When you find yourself starting over again
Begin by putting it all in His hands
Though the world says you can’t
God says you can
2nd Verse
Pressures of life will grind you down
‘Til you’ve passed the point of coping
No comfort you find on the left or the right
No reason left for hoping
The outlook is grim
But not according to Him
He’s always got a better plan
The world says you’ll never stand
But God says you can
Bridge
God is my rock, my sword and shield, I’ll trust Him faithfully
He said I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
I think I’ll Take Some Time
Bryant Jones Sr./Ship
Publishing/All Rights by Just Mike Music/BMI/2nd verse written by Sharon
Whitley
Well, I know it’s been said a time or two
It’s no secret what God can do
He did it for my mother, He did it for my father
He’ll do it for me, and for you too.
I’ve had so many ups and downs,
Seems like my world goes round and round,
I look to Jesus and then I found,
My feet were planted on higher ground.
Chorus
I think ( I think) I’ll take (I’ll take) some time (some time)
To praise the Lord.
For He (for He) has been (has been)
The Lord’s been mighty good to me.
I think (I think) I’ll take ( I’ll take) some time (some time)
To praise the Lord.
I want to thank Him for saving me.
2nd Verse
When the day of Pentecost was fully come,
After ten days of seeking the Son.
There came a sound like a rushing wind,
tongues of fire fell down on each of them.
One night as I had knelt in prayer,
The Holy Ghost came and met me there.
I gave Him my heart, I gave Him my soul,
Since then He’s had complete control.
When Nothing But a Miracle Will Do
Rhonda Elizabeth Belford, Aaron Wilburn/House of Aaron Music/BMI
When you’ve tried everything
And everything you’ve tried has failed
You’re standing at the harbor
And your ship of hope has sailed
Friends have no answers
Peace just can’t be found
Oh but there’s a hand of mercy
That can turn it all around
That can turn it all around
Chorus
When nothing but a miracle will do
There’s nothing that the hand of God
Cannot bring you through
I know He’s more than able
And He will deliver you
When nothing but a miracle will do
2nd Verse
When you’ve cried out in the darkness
And no one seems to hear
Just because you can’t see Him
Doesn’t mean He isn’t near
Perhaps He’s only waiting
Till you’ve done all you can do
Until He’s the only thing
That’s left to hold on to
Bridge
I hear Daniel, Jonah, Peter and Paul
They’re shouting with Lazarus
He delivered us all.
Redeemed
Gerald Crabb/Crabb’s Song Music/BMI
There is a word that’s so dear to my heart
It’s brought light to my dark dreary soul
For without it my end would be pain and despair
God’s city I’d never behold
2nd Verse
You know Satan once held me so firm in his prison
I’d never get out so it seemed
Until one day I heard footsteps down the hall of the dungeon
And a voice cried I’ve come to redeem
Chorus
Redeemed, the best thing I’ve ever heard
I’ve been brought here from there by that precious word
I’m free, I’m forgiven, I’m washed and I’m clean
Jesus bought me
Thank God I’m redeemed
3rd Verse
Oh how Christ loved us so much He was willing
To die on an old rugged tree
His blood was my payment
Once now and forever
I’m His thank God I’m redeemed
This is How It Feels To Be Free
Sean Craig, Dave Clark, Don Koch/Ariose Music, Praise Song Press, Admin. By E.M.I Pub./ASCAP
There’s a wall that has been standing
Since the day that Adam fell
Sin is where it started
Sin is why it held
Speaking as a prisoner
Who was there and lived to tell
I remember how it felt
I could hear the sound of freedom
Like a distant voice who called
And beckoned me to follow
Where I had never gone
Though my heart was willing
I just stood there at the wall
Praying somehow it would fall
But in a cross I found the doorway
And a hand that held the keys
When the chains fell at my feet
For the first time I could see
Chorus
This is how it feels to be free
This is what it means to know that I am forgiven
This is how it feels to be free
To see that life can be more than I imagined
This is how it feels to be free
This is how feels to be free, yeah.
2nd Verse
There are days when I’m reminded
Of the prison I was in
Like a living nightmare
Burning from within
I can feel the voice of evil
I can hear the call of sin
But I won’t go back again
See, once I tasted freedom
Then the walls could bind no more
Since mercy gave me wings to fly
Like an eagle I can soar
Bridge
Somewhere there’s a prison
Where the chains still bind
There but for the grace of God
Those walls could still be mine
So for all the captives I say.
I’m at your Mercy
Harrie and Joyce Martin McCollough, Jeff Silvey/Berlin Rd. Music, Joyce Martin McCollough Pub., Willow Branch Pub./BMI
Been hiding from the heartache, covering the pain
Hoping that the past would disappear
But all my buried failures are staring back at me
Every time I look into the mirror
Truthful accusations, my verdict has come in
Guilty of trangression, I’m convicted once again
Chorus
Lord I’m at Your Mercy, I’m drowning in despair
I’ve come crawling back to you with burdens I can’t bare
On my knees before you I am broken and ashamed
Lord I’m at your mercy so let your mercy reign
2nd Verse
Your love is overwhelming, it’s patient and it’s kind
And I will always marvel at Your grace
Every time I stumble I know I’m not alone
You stood by me through every trial I faced
Lord you’re my defender, forgiving every fault
So I now surrender, let the gavel fall
Soon Be Gone
Davy Boggs/Odie Podie Music/BMI
God spoke to Hezekiah a man of God of old
He had no time to call his friends or count up all his gold
For God had took away his days,
All that he could do was pray
Set Your house in order
Soon be gone
Chorus
We’ll soon be gone, soon be gone
This old world is all but ended, soon be gone.
All our treasures here will pass
We’ll be on our way at last
We’re gonna leave this world a shoutin’
Soon be gone.
2nd Verse
Each day we spend down here we’ve got one less day to go
‘Til we leave our earthly dwelling and take up our mansion home
Golden streets and mansions fair
Death and heartache won’t be there
We’re gonna shout around the throne
When we get home.
3rd Verse
The troubles that fall around us here won’t be up above
The hatred that is cast on us will be joy, peace and love
If we make Jesus Christ our king
Love Him more than anything
Gonna ride the clouds to glory
Soon be gone.
Do Your Little Part
David Rose/Odie Podie Music/BMI
Jesus took a little fish and bread
He blessed it and the multitude it fed
What He had did not seem like very much
But a little made a lot with God’s touch
Chorus
Oh be willing to do your little part
And do it from the bottom of your heart
What you have may not seem like very much
But a little makes a lot with God’s touch
2nd Verse
If it’s nothing but stand and clap your hands
Just do it and the Lord will understand
For He knows all about you any way
He’ll be your judge on that great judgment day
Power To Restore
Davy, Kelly and Odie Boggs, Rick Combs/Odie Podie Music/BMI
A life filled with wonder
Everything in place.
Just one moment of pleasure
Leaves you in disgrace.
You’re looking for an exit
From this place you’ve walked into.
But is God so understanding
That He would rescue you.
I need to tell you friend
Defeat is not the end.
Chorus
Power to restore
When sin has left you blind.
Power to renew
Your heart, your soul, your mind.
Power that abounds
With grace and love and more.
In the cross of Christ
Power to restore.
2nd Verse
It’s easier to give up
Turn and walk away.
But God is seeking children
Who may have lost their way.
He sent Jesus to the cross
To bring back all the lost.
