A Better Man

Hello my old friends, I know you’re wonderin’ where I’ve been

I was led away from you and I ain’t never comin’ back again

I was taken to a place of unconditional love

That showed me amazing grace, that I’d like to tell you of

I know you think that I’ve gone crazy

I know you think that I’ve gone mad

That I’m some kind of Holy Roller

But in my heart I’m very glad

(chorus) I want you all to understand, that I’m still the man

That you knew on the other side of life

And I want you all to know, it was time for me to grow

And I just want to share the power of His light

Please understand, I’m now a better man…

Now I know the Lord has brought me, to this place and time

And I’m tryin’ to spread the Word, with rhythm and with rhyme

Well I ain’t crazy, and I know I ain’t gone mad

And I ain’t gone soft inside, and this ain’t no passin’ fad

So I want you to listen to me

And turn from your wicked ways

Forget about that old nightlife

‘Cause your in for better days

(repeat chorus)

(lead line)

And so my good friends, don’t think that I’m a mess

You knew how I was and it was far from happiness

And I know you won’t listen to me without a guitar in my hands

So I poured my heart in this song, hopin’ you might understand!

Understand that I love you

Understand that I care

Understand the hope in my heart

And understand I wanna share!

(repeat chorus-out)

 “Please understand, when guided by His hand, you can make your stand…and be a better man”

A Call To Worship

Everybody won’t you come on in

 And let the worship of the Lord begin

Were gonna sing and maybe clap our hands (clap,clap)

And celebrate the Son of man

(chorus) This is a call to worship, it’s a call to pray

It’s a call to praise the Lord, each and every day

It’s a call to show your faith, it’s the call of love

This is a call to worship, and praise the Lord above

Come on in so we can start,

Holy Spirit come prepare our hearts

And if ya could won’t you sing along

Let’s praise the Lord together in a song

(chorus)

(accapella chorus)

(repeat chorus) out

 

Am I Worthy?

                           Am I Worthy? 

Lord, You know my heart,

 and Lord you know my mind

You know everything I do and everything I don’t.

Lord, I know you’re with me all the time

 Lord, I know that I can do better

and Lord, I know there’s better ways to spend my time.

And though I call myself a Christian,

there’s still a lot of things I’m missin’

So, Lord, these questions run through my mind

 (Chorus)

Am I worthy, Lord?  Have I been faithful to Your Son

Have I put You first to let Your will be done.

Have I been faithful, God, have I forgiven as You forgave?

Am I a child of Yours, should I consider myself saved?

Am I worthy? 

Lord, I try to be a gracious man

and, Lord, I try to give it everything I can.

But, sometimes my human side fills me up with foolish pride

So, Lord, that’s when I reach out for Your hand.

(Repeat Chorus) 

(Bridge)

Sometimes, wondering about my faith, I can’t sleep at night

So, I open my heart up wide and pray hard to see

 Your Light, Your Light, Your Light.

 (Chorus - Out)

Fly

Lord, when I think of you…

and all that You do

When all hope is lost,

no matter the cost

When I’m down on my knees,

in sheer misery

You reach from above,

and like wings on a dove, I’m flyin’ free

(chorus)

I believe I can fly.

 With my hands to the sky

When I let my voice ring, when I stand up and sing.

And I believe when I pray, what my heart wants to say

That there isn’t a thing, too much for my King, to guide me today

When this life gets me down,

like I’m losing my ground

And everything that I say,

offends in some way

Lord I’m just a man,

 and I could sure use a hand

When I’ve no where to crawl,

Lord I give you my all, and I’m soaring again!

(chorus)

(chorus)

(tag last line)

With my hands to the sky… I believe I can fly

Just Trust (Jesus)

As I was walkin’ down on lonely street,

With baggage in both of my hands

You could sure tell, I was draggin’ my feet

When up walked this man

He said, “son why you look so sad?

Don’t you know, don’t you care?

There is someone who loves you so much.

And He’ll always be there.

(Chorus)

If you just, trust, Jesus every single day,

everything gonna be OK

If you just, trust, Jesus every single night,

everything gonna be alright.

I was a fool, oh for so long

Believin’ in nothin’ but right now

When You came along, right then I knew that I was wrong

You opened my eyes somehow

So I pulled down that old Bible,

blew the dust off the cover

Started to read it, and Lord did my heart need it

You did for me like no other

If you just, trust, Jesus every single day,

everything gonna be OK

If you just, trust, Jesus every single night,

everything gonna be alright.

(lead)

Now when I go walkin’ down on lonely street

With a new hope in my soul

Got a spring in my step, no more draggin’ feet

Now I know who’s in control

So if you’re unhappy inside,

and you don’t know who your friend

Just believe it and Lord you’re gonna receive it

His undyin’ love has no end

If you just, trust, Jesus every single day,

everything gonna be OK

If you just, trust, Jesus every single night,

everything gonna be alright

If you just, trust Jesus, every single day, everything gonna be OK  

If you just, trust, Jesus every single night, everything gonna be alright

Oh, How I Love Sundays

Oh, how I love Sundays, everybody’s there

I feel the love and I feel the strength of a family everywhere

Oh, how I love Sundays, at Mountain Bible church

Familiar faces and sometimes those who’ve just begun their search

They’re searchin’ for someone to save them from their random run

But to their surprise and my delight they find that Jesus is the one…

Oh, how I love Sundays and how it warms my heart

The children playin’ and then they’re prayin’ and that’s a beautiful start

Oh, how I love Sundays and how I love to hear

The music’s ringin‘, everybody’s singin’ , it’s okay to shed a tear

And Lord we want to thank you, for you died upon that cross

You took us in, then You took our sin, when we were lonely and so lost…

Oh, how I love Sundays and how I love to see

The people reaching’, the Pastor preachin’, how it touches me

Oh, how I love Sundays, there’s nothing’ more real

To feel the love, of the Lord above Something everyone should feel

And we pray Lord for the people who don’t know about your grace

Help us show and let them know, they’re always welcome in this place

Oh, how I love Sundays, everybody’s there

I feel the love and I feel the strength of my family everywhere

Oh, how I love Sundays, what more can I say?

As you can see, if it was up to me, it’d be Sunday…

 Every day…

On My Way

I was out, I was down

I was livin’ life like a drunken clown

I was down, I was out I was livin’ life in a world of doubt

I had no faith, I had no hope I was livin’ life at the end of my rope

I had no ties, I had no cares I had no idea anyone was there

And then I felt, oh, then I heard

The news all about my God's good word

I got The Book, an I took a look

Then something inside me started to cook

Then I would read, oh then I'd feed

And my gears shifted to a forward speed

I’m on my way, I’m on my way, I’m on my way

Oh, I’m finally on my way

I’m on my way, I’m on my way, I’m on my way Oh, I’m finally on my way

(bridge)

And now my life is full of hope And I’m just glad for the day

The Holy Spirit came to me and put me on my way

(bring down)

Yes I was down, yes I was out

Yes I was livin’ life in a world of doubt

But I saw the Truth, I saw the Light

I saw His power and I felt His mighty, mighty , might yeah 

(repeat bridge)

(start chorus over and over…low to powerful)

8-10 X

Senses

From the sparkle in my son’s eyes

In the mountains and in the trees

I can see the grace of the Lord everywhere

A breath of air, close my eyes

Say a prayer and I’m on my knees

I can feel His presence is there

(chorus)

With the senses that God gave me,

He let’s me know He’s alive

And in the darkness when I can’t see,

I can feel He’s inside…of me

I asked a blind man about God he

Said he could feel Him throughout his body

But the deaf man, he wrote down these words

Though I can’t even hear a sound

I can feel Him all around me

And I praise His name that I can even see!

(chorus)

With the senses that God gave me,

He let’s me know He’s alive And in the darkness when I can’t see,

I can feel He’s inside…of me

(lead line)  

(chorus)

With the senses that God gave me, He let’s me know He’s alive

And in the darkness when I can’t see, I can feel Him inside of me,

Yeah, yeah With the senses that God gave me,

Man I know He’s alive

And in the darkness when I can’t see,

I feel He’s inside…of me…..

Show Me Your Way

Certain situations, I’m not equipped to handle myself

Well even sometimes I, could use some divine help

Now I can go and handle things in my old way

But are they right for you Lord, and do they show Your grace?

(Chorus)

Show me Your way, the way to do things, that glorify Your name

Jesus, show me Your way, open my eyes and show me Your way.

All my life I’ve done everything, according to my own will

Never quite understanding, why it‘d leave me unfulfilled

So this I ask you Jesus, so many times You’ve seen me fall

Wont’cha help me turn the other cheek when my back’s up against the wall

(Chorus)

(short lead)

(bridge)

So I ask you Lord to help me. Wont’cha help me make this call

‘Cause when it comes to trust I gotta trust you above all!

(chorus -out)

The Night Jesus Met Santa Claus
A rumbling noise came through the roof, the sound was as if snow met hoof
And he grabbed his sack and went down the chimney
He rolled on out across the floor, and there he stood, before the Lord
And a voice said I’m Jesus Christ, do you know me?
He said my name is Santa Claus, he scratched his head and took a pause
And said, “No I don’t, but let me check my list”
Well I’ve checked my list, I’ve checked it twice
And I don’t see any Jesus Christ
This has never happened before, I’ve never missed.
Then Jesus said “Just hold on there, you mean to tell me standing there
That no one ever told you about Me?”
Santa stared and shook his head, and stood there in his coat of red
He said, “It’s mostly children that talk to me”.
(Chorus)
The night Jesus met Santa Claus , they sat down face to face
Jesus told Old St. Nick about His love and grace
And Jesus said hey Santa, it’s not by works alone
You see it’s you who must believe in Me, if I’m to take you home
You see no one ever took the time to tell Santa about the great divine
They were all to busy askin’ him for favors
And Jesus nodded His head, for He knew just what Santa meant
Then Santa knelt at the feet of his Savior
I forgive you for My own sake, what a fine disciple you would make
With your popularity and your lightning speed
In a hurry you could give, the children no matter where they live
Something good, that they really need.
(2nd Chorus)
The night Jesus met Santa Claus, they sat down face to face
And Jesus told old St. Nick, about His love and grace
Jesus said “Hey Santa your intentions all were fine
But please go tell the children, all about Mine.”
“Now I’ll go take these presents back
But Jesus said “look in your sack”
And when Santa did there were bibles wall to wall
Jesus said “give these away, for this is My holiday
Now dash away Santa, dash away all”
Santa said before I leave, You need to know I now believe
This all makes sense, and I feel that it’s true
Then Santa said with all his heart, I will make a brand new start
And he told Jesus, “I believe in you!”
The night Jesus saved Santa Claus, and told him of His grace
A bright new shiny smile rolled across the big man’s face
And Jesus said ‘Hey Santa, love the children, love them all”…
For Jesus gave Santa, the greatest gift of all
…And as Santa, sailed away, he said “Jesus, by the way…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!”
The Perfect Man For You

She’s tried being “hooked-up” by her friends

Blind dates, word of mouth, and on the internet

Hangin’ out in clubs and at the grocery store

But deep inside, she always hopes for so much more

(bridge 1)

She wonders time and time again,

where are all the good men?

Could it be she’s part to blame,

So she prays to God, “Could You give me just one name?”

(chorus 1)

Could you find a good man for me

One who’s brave and strong, that suits me to a “T”

Full of love and joy, and always there for me

Could you find a good man for me?

She goes to church now and then

Christmas, Easter, and now a funeral for a friend.

When he died they said “he was a good man”

Oh how he loved the Lord, an awesome family man

(bridge 2)

So she just had to ask the widow,

“What’s wrong with me? I don’t know”

The widow said “when you put God first, the rest falls into place

And He’ll bring us together again”,

As tears rolled down her face….she said

(chorus 2)

Have I got the perfect man for you

He’s brave and strong and wise, and always there for you

He's full of love and joy, a Father figure, too

Have I got the perfect man for you

(bridge 3)

He’ll bring the est right out of you,

And He’s forever, forever been in love with you!

Have I got the perfect man for you

He’s brave and strong and wise, and always there for you

He's full of love and joy, a Father figure, too

Have I got the perfect man , and He’s got the perfect plan

Have I got the perfect man …for you.
