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
Brian White & Don Poythress/2003 Multisongs Inc./SESAC,
BMG  Songs Inc./ASCAP
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
