1 A COMMON LOVE A common love for each other, A common gift to the Savior, A common bond holding us to the Lord; A common strength when we’re weary, A common hope for tomorrow, A common joy in the truth of God’s Word.

2 THEY ’LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS … VERSE 1 We are one in the Spirit; we are one in the Lord, We are one in the Spirit; we are one in the Lord, And we pray that our unity may one day be restored: VERSE 2 We will walk with each other; we will walk hand in hand, We will walk with each other; we will walk hand in hand, And together we’ll spread the news that God is in our land: VERSE 3 We will work with each other; we will work side by side, We will work with each other; we will work side by side, And we’ll guard each man’s dignity and save each man’s pride: VERSE 4 All praise to the Father, from whom all things come, And all praise to Christ Jesus, His only Son, And all praise to the Spirit who makes us one: REFRAIN And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love, Yes they’ll know we are Christians by our love.

3 A HILL CALLED MOUNT CALVARY VERSE 1 There are things as we travel this earth’s shifting sands, That transcend all the reason of man; But the things that matter the most in this world, They can never be held in our hands. VERSE 2 I believe that the Christ who was slain on the cross, Has the power to change lives today; For He changed me completely, a new life is mine; That is why by the cross I will stay. VERSE 3 I believe that this life with its great mysteries, Surely someday will come to an end; But faith will conquer the darkness and death And will lead me at last to my Friend. CHORUS I believe in a hill called Mount Calv’ry— I’ll believe whatever the cost; And when time has surrendered and earth is no more, I’ll still cling to that old rugged cross.

4 THE LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE The Lord is in His holy temple: Let all the earth keep silence before Him; Keep silence, keep silence, Keep silence before Him.

5 LORD, BE THERE {soprano only} Lord, be there for me when I fall. Be there for me when I call. Be there for me, dear Lord. {add tenor} Lord, You know I always need You; And I know that, Lord, You’ll be there. {add alto} Lord, be there when I fall. Be there for me, dear Lord. {add bass} Worthy is the Lamb of God; He is all I need.

6 I KNOW THE LORD WILL MAKE A WAY FOR ME VERSE 1 I know the Lord will make a way for me, I know the Lord will make a way for me. VERSE 2 The Lord has said, “Go preach the word to all the world,” The Lord has said, “Go preach the word to all the world.” VERSE 3 Won’t it be grand to hear Him say, “Well done,” Won’t it be grand to hear Him say, “Well done.” CHORUS If I walk in heaven’s light, Shun the wrong and do the right,

{verse 1} I know the Lord will make a way for me. {verse 2} I know the Lord will make a way for me. {verse 3} Won’t it be grand to hear Him say, “Well

done.”

7 GALATIANS 2:20 {repeat faster x3} I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

8 SEEK YE FIRST VERSE 1 Seek ye first the kingdom of God And His righteousness, And all these things shall be added unto you. (Singing) Allelu-, Alleluia!

VERSE 3 Man shall not live by bread alone, But by every word That proceeds from the mouth of God. (Singing) Allelu-, Alleluia!

9 ANGRY WORDS {guys echo chorus} VERSE 1 Angry words! O let them never From the tongue unbridled slip; May the heart’s best impulse ever Check them ere they soil the lip. VERSE 2 Love is much too pure and holy, Friendship is too sacred far, For a moment’s reckless folly Thus to desolate and mar. VERSE 3 Angry words are lightly spoken, Bitt’rest thoughts are rashly stirred, Brightest links of life are broken By a single angry word. CHORUS “Love one another” (“Love each other,) Thus saith the Savior; (love each other,”) Children obey the Father’s blest command. “Love one another” (“Love each other,) Thus saith the Savior; (love each other,”) Children obey the blest command.

10 PASS IT ON It only takes a spark to get a fire going, And soon all those around can warm up to its glowing. That’s how it is with God’s love, Once you’ve experienced it. You spread His love to every one; You want to pass it on.

11 THERE IS ONE VERSE 1 There is one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism. There is one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism. There is one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism. And I’ll tell it where ever I go. VERSE 2 I’ve been saved and sanctified, and I’m so glad… VERSE 3 There is one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism… VERSE 4 I am on my way to heaven, and I’m so glad… VERSE 5 There is one Lord, and one faith, and one baptism…

And He {echo} Will lift {echo} You up. VERSE 2 Jesus is the Son of God; {girls echo} Jesus is the Son of God; {echo} And He {echo} He died {echo} For us. And He {echo} He died {echo} For us.

15 ABOVE ALL {repeat all x2} Above all powers, above all kings; Above all nature and all created things; Above all wisdom and all the ways of man; You were here before the world began. Above all kingdoms, above all thrones; Above all wonders the world has ever known; Above all wealth and treasures of the earth; There’s no way to measure what You’re worth. CHORUS Crucified, laid behind a stone. You lived to die, Rejected and alone, Like a rose trampled on the ground You took the fall and thought of me Above all.

20 I AM M INE NO MORE VERSE 1 I am mine no more, I am mine no more, I’ve been bought with blood; I am mine no more. VERSE 2 Jesus is my Lord, Jesus is my Lord, And He rules my heart; Jesus is my Lord. VERSE 3 He will come again, He will come again, And He’ll take me home; He will come again.

21 THOMAS ’ SONG VERSE 1 Jesus, You were all to me, Why did You die on Calvary? O Lamb of God I fail to see How this could be part of the plan. VERSE 2 They say that You’re alive again. But I saw death and every sin Reach out to claim their darkest win. How could this be part of the plan? If I could only hold Your hand, And touch the scars where nails were driven; I would need to feel Your side Where holy flesh by spear was riven. Then I’d believe, only then I’d believe Your cruel death was part of a heavenly plan. VERSE 3 Holy presence, holy face; A vision filling time and space. Your nearness makes my spirit race. Could this be part of the plan? VERSE 4 I see the wounds that caused the cry, From heaven, ocean, earth, and sky; When people watched their Savior die. Could this be part of the plan? Reaching out to hold Your hand, And touch the scars where nails were driven; Coming near I feel Your side Where holy flesh by spear was riven. Now I believe, Jesus, now I believe, Your cruel death was part of a heavenly plan. I proudly say with blazon cry: “You are my Lord and my God!”

24 BEULAH LAND VERSE 1 I’ve reached the land of love divine And all its riches freely mine; Here shines undimmed one blissful day, For all my night has passed away. VERSE 2 My Savior comes and walks with me, And sweet communion here have we; He gently leads me by His hand, For this is heaven’s borderland. VERSE 3 The zephyrs seem to float to me, Sweet sounds of heaven’s melody, As angels with the white-robed throng Join in the sweet Redemption song. CHORUS O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land, As on thy highest mount I stand, I look away across the sea, Where mansions are prepared for me, And view the shining glory shore, My heaven, my home forevermore!

What can be done to an old heart like mine? Soften it up with oil and wine. The oil is You, Your spirit of love. Please wash me anew in the wine of Your blood. VERSE 2 My songs are cold, My prayers are dust; My vision gone, I’ve lost my trust, But still I know how life should be, Alive to You and dead to me. What can be done to an old heart like mine? Soften it up with oil and wine. The oil is You, Your spirit of love. Please wash me anew in the wine of Your blood. VERSE 3 Your grace has covered all my sin, And now Your presence reigns within. I am redeemed! I’ve been set free! Alive to You and dead to me. Look what You’ve done to this old heart of mine: Softened it up with oil and wine. The oil is You, Your spirit of love. You’ve washed me anew in the wine of Your blood.

26 COME , SHARE THE LORD VERSE 1 We gather here in Jesus’ name, His love is burning in our hearts like living flame. For thru the loving Son the Father makes us one. Come take the bread, Come drink the cup, Come share the Lord. No one is a stranger here, every one belongs. Finding forgiveness here, we in turn forgive all wrongs VERSE 2 He joins us here, He breaks the bread. The Lord who pours the cup is risen from the dead. The One we love the most is now our gracious host. Come take the bread, Come drink the cup, Come share the Lord. We are now a family of which the Lord is head. Though unseen He meets us here in the breaking of the bread. VERSE 3 We’ll gather soon where angels sing; We’ll see the glory of our Lord and coming King. Now we anticipate the feast for which we wait. Come take the bread, Come drink the cup, Come share the Lord.

27 FOLLOW ME VERSE 1 I traveled down a lonely road and no one seemed to care, The burden on my weary back had bowed me to despair, I oft complained to Jesus how folks were treating me, And then I heard Him say so tenderly: “My feet were also weary, upon the Calv’ry road; The cross became so heavy; I fell beneath the load. Be faithful weary pilgrim the morning I can see, Just lift your cross and follow close to Me.” VERSE 2 “I work so hard for Jesus” I often boast and say; “I’ve sacrificed a lot of things to walk the narrow way, I gave up fame and fortune; I’m worth a lot to Thee,” And then I hear Him gently say to me: “I left the throne of glory and counted it but loss, My hands were nailed in anger upon a cruel cross But now we’ll make the journey with your hand safe in Mine, So lift your cross and follow close to Me.” VERSE 3 Oh, Jesus if I die upon a foreign field some day, ‘Twould be no more than love demands; no less could I repay, “No greater love hath mortal man than for a friend to die” These are the words He gently spoke to me: “If just a cup of water I place within your hand Then just a cup of water is all that I demand,” But if by death to living they can Thy glory see, I’ll take my cross and follow close to Thee.

Am I causing Him pain when I know I’ve got to change? ‘Cause I just can’t bear the thought of hurting Him. (And we cry) Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb. (And we cry) Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb.

120 THE CRAYON BOX SONG VERSE 1 When I was just a little child no higher than your knee, My mother bought a box of crayons just for me. So I picked them up, I opened them up, and I looked way down inside. And the colors there reminded me of Jesus when He died.

My comfort, my Shelter, Tower of refuge and strength; Let every breath, all that I am, Never cease to worship You. Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing Power and majesty, praise to the King; Mountains bow down and the seas will roar At the sound of Your name.

134 AN EMPTY MANSION VERSE 1 Here I labor and toil as I look for a home, Just an humble abode among men, While in heaven a mansion is waiting for me And a gentle voice pleading, “Come in.” VERSE 2 Ever thankful am I that my Savior and Lord Promised unto the weary sweet rest; Nothing more could I ask than a mansion above, There to live with the saved and the blest. VERSE 3 When my labor and toiling have ended below And my hands shall lie folded in rest, I’ll exchange this old home for a mansion up there And invite the arch angel as guest. CHORUS There’s a mansion now empty, just waiting for me At the end of life’s troublesome way, Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there Near the door of that mansion some day.
