"I Won't Have To Cross Jordan Alone"

"I Won't Have To Cross Jordan Alone"


When I come to the river at the ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting to show me the way
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Often times I'm weary and troubled and sad
When it seems that my friends have all flown
There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart glad
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone

In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Though the billows of trouble and sorrow may sweep
Christ the Saviour will care for his own
Till the end of my journey my soul he will keep
And I won't have to cross Jordan alone

I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

"I Wonder Where You Are Tonight"

"I Wonder Where You Are Tonight"


The rain is cold and slowly falling
Upon my window pane tonight
And though your love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight?

Tonight I'm sad my heart is weary
Wondering if I'm wrong or right
To dream about you though you left me
I wonder where you are tonight?

The rain is cold and slowly falling
Upon my window pane tonight
And though your love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight?

[Instrumental]

Your heart was cold, you never loved me
Though you often said you cared
And now you've gone to find another
Someone to know the love I've shared.

The rain is cold and slowly falling
Upon my window pane tonight
And though your love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight?

And though your love was even colder
I wonder where you are tonight?...

"I Wouldn't Change You If I Could"

"I Wouldn't Change You If I Could"


I wouldn't change a single thing about you if I could
The way you are just suits me to a tee
A princess in a storybook, a king upon his throne
That's what we are and you belong to me

I wouldn't change you if I could, I love you as you are
You're all that I would wish for if I wished upon a star
An angel sent from heaven, you're everything that's good
You're perfect just the way you are, I wouldn't change you if I could

Your eyes, your lips, your tender smile and I'd leave them as they are
And come what may, I'd never change a thing
And if I were a potter and you a piece of clay
The only thing I'd change would be your name

I wouldn't change you if I could, I love you as you are
You're all that I would wish for if I wished upon a star
An angel sent from heaven, you're everything that's good
You're perfect just the way you are, I wouldn't change you if I could

"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen"

"I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen"


I'll take you home again, Kathleen
Across the ocean wild and wide
To where your heart has ever been
Since first you were my loving bride.

The roses all have left your cheek
I watch them fade away and die
Your voice is sad when ere you speak
And tears bedim your lovely eyes.

[Chorus:]
Oh, I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I will take you to your home, Kathleen.

I know you love me, Kathleen, dear
Your heart was ever fond and true
I always feel when you are near
That life holds nothing, dear, but you.

The smiles that once you gave to me
I scarcely ever see them now
Though many, many times I see
A dark'ning shadow on your brow.

[Chorus:]
Oh, I will take you back, Kathleen
To where your heart will feel no pain
And when the fields are fresh and green
I will take you to your home, Kathleen..

"I'm A Believer"

"I'm A Believer"


I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I'm in love, and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
No not if I tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I'm in love and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
Not if I tried

Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams
What's the use of trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind
I'm in love and I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried
No not if I tried
Not if I tried, no
'Cause I'm a believer
Yes I'm a believer

"I'm Just Lucky I Guess"

"I'm Just Lucky I Guess"


She's my girl, she's my world, she's my life to me
She's my girl, she's my world, she's my wife to be
She makes me actin', dress my best
Keeps me filled with the happiness
Well, I don't know, I'm just lucky I guess

What a lucky day it was when I met her
What a lucky street to meet with the best
But don't ask me how I come to win her
'Cause I don't know, I'm just lucky I guess

She's my girl, she's my world, she's my life to me
She's my girl, she's my world, she's my wife to be
She makes me actin', dress my best
Keeps me filled with the happiness
Well, I don't know, I'm just lucky I guess

She will give me memories extra special
She's so different, not like all the rest
Since I met her how I've changed
She's gonna let me change her name
Well, I don't know, I'm just lucky I guess

She's my girl, she's my world, she's my life to me
She's my girl, she's my world, she's my wife to be
She makes me actin', dress my best
Keeps me filled with the happiness
Well, I don't know, I'm just lucky I guess
Oh, I don't know, I'm just lucky I guess

"If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again"

"If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again"


How sweet and happy seem, those days of which I dream
When memory recalls them now and then
And with what repture sweet, my weary heart would beat
If I could hear my mother pray again

She used to pray that I, on Jesus would rely
And always walked the shining gospel way
So trusting still His love, I seek that home above
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day

If I could only hear my mother pray again
If I could only hear her tender voice as then
How happy I would be, t'would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again

Within the old home place, her patient smiling face
Was always spreading comfort, hope and cheer

And when she used to sing to her eternal king
It was the songs the angels loved to hear

Her work on earth is done, the life crown has been won
And she will be at rest with Him above
And some glad morning she, I know will welcome me
To that eternal home of peace and love

If I could only hear my mother pray again
If I could only hear her tender voice as then
How happy I would be, t'would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear my mother pray again

"If Jesus Comes Tomorrow (What Then)"

"If Jesus Comes Tomorrow (What Then)"


If Jesus comes tomorrow to spend some time with you
Would you answer all His questions or lie to hide the truth?
Would you welcome Him with open arms, or even let Him in?
If Jesus comes tomorrow, what then?

If Jesus calls your number, could you leave today?
Are you ready to lay down your worldly goods and walk away?
Would it take a month of Sundays just to tell Him of your sin,
If Jesus comes tomorrow, what then?

If the sky turns black as midnight in the middle of the day
And somehow you knew that Jesus would soon be on His way,
Would you have to beg forgiveness, or could you reach out and take His hand?
If Jesus comes tomorrow, what then?

"In The Bleak Midwinter"

"In The Bleak Midwinter"


In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.

What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

"In The Garden"

"In The Garden"


I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.

He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known...
