"Waitin' For The Sun To Shine"

"Waitin' For The Sun To Shine"

Oh, I've been standin' underneath this dark old cloud,
Just waitin' for the sun to shine.
Waitin' for the sun to shine in my heart again.
Oh, I've been standin' underneath this dark old cloud, now,
Waitin' for the sun to shine,
Waitin' for the sun to shine in my heart again.

Oh, I've been throwin' a lot of good love away,
Just waitin' for the sun to shine.
Waitin' for the sun to shine in my heart again.
Oh, I've been throwin' a lot of good love away,
Just waitin' for the sun to shine.
Waitin' for the sun to shine in my heart again.

Oh, I'm just waitin' for the sun to shine.
(Waitin' for the sun to shine.)
Waitin' for the sun to shine.
I know it will be some time.
I'm just waitin' for the sun to shine.

I've been standin' underneath this dark old cloud,
Just waitin' for the sun to shine.
Waitin' for the sun to shine in my heart again.
Oh, I've been throwin' a lot of good love away,
Just waitin' for the sun to shine.
Waitin' for the sun to shine in my heart again.

Waitin' for the sun to shine.
(Waitin' for the sun to shine.)
In my heart again.

Waitin' for the sun to shine.
(Waitin' for the sun to shine.)...

"Waiting At The Gate"

"Waiting At The Gate"

I'm waiting at the gate, looking for my ride
Soon to take me to my home on high
Angel bands a coming From the other side
I don't want to be late, I'm waiting at the gate.

I can hear the thunder, the time's at hand
Joybells are ringing in the promised land
Jesus is a coming my soul to take
Yes, my Lord sees me waiting at the gate.

I'm a' leaving the world, no more to do
All of my work on earth is through
I've fought the fight, I've kept the faith
Well, I'm ready to go, I'm waiting at the gate.

I can hear the thunder, the time's at hand
Joybells are ringing in the promised land
Jesus is a coming my soul to take
Yes, my Lord sees me waiting at the gate.

I can hear the thunder, the time's at hand
Joybells are ringing in the promised land
Jesus is a coming my soul to take
Yes, my Lord sees me waiting at the gate

"Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine"
(originally by Bill Monroe)

"Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine"
(originally by Bill Monroe)

You say you're sorry once again dear
You want me to take you back once more
You say you need a helping hand dear
But that's what you told me once before.

Walk softly on this heart of mine love
Don't treat it mean and so unkind
Let it rest in peace and quiet love
Walk softly on this heart of mine.

I know you soon will find a new love
I feel your heart is turned to stone
But please let me down real easy
For loneliness moves in as you move on...

Oh John, oh John, now what did you say?
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
I'll meet you there at the break of day
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready, Lord
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

Oh, some come a walking and some come lame
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
Some come walking in Jesus' name
Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

I want to be ready

"Walls Of Time"

"Walls Of Time"

The wind is blowing cross the mountains
And out on the valley way below.
It sweeps the grave of my darling
When I die that's where I want to go.

Lord, send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die.

I hear a voice out in the darkness
It moans and whispers through the pines
I know it's my sweetheart a calling
I hear her through the walls of time.

Lord, send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die.

Our names are carved upon a tombstone
I promised you before you died
Our love will bloom forever darling
When we rest side by side.

Lord, send the angels for my darling
And take her to that home on high
I'll wait my time out here on earth love
And come to you when I die...

"Were You There?"

"Were You There?"

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Ooh, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Ooh, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

Were you there when he rose up from the grave?
Were you there when he rose up from the grave?
Ooh. sometimes it causes me to tremble
Were you there when he rose up from the grave?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Ooh, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?.

"When Life Hits Hard"

"When Life Hits Hard"

Life is a mountain of a journey
With rivers to cross at every turn
It's always something or too much of nothing
But if there's one thing I've learned
When life hits hard you gotta hit a little harder bear that heavy load
It's all gonna get a lot better farther along the road
Lord knows when you're down so down you gotta dig a little deeper
Keep reaching for the sky
And when life hits hard there's bound to be a reason why
Everyone's searching for the answer
When maybe thie only thing to do
Is cherish the good times and hold on through the bad times
Trustin' that time will deliver you
And when life hits hard...
In this one way we're all alike
We share a strong will to survive
And when life hits hard...
And when life hits hard there's bound to be a reason why
When life hits hard

"Where The Soul Of Man Never Dies"

"Where The Soul Of Man Never Dies"

To Canaan's land, I'm on my way,
Where the soul of man never dies.
My darkest night will turn to day,
Where the soul of man never dies.

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)

The rose is blooming there for me,
Where the soul of man never dies.
And I will spend eternity,
Where the soul of man never dies.

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)

The love light beams across the foam,
Where the soul of man never dies.
It shines and lights the way to home,
Where the soul of man never dies.

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)...

"White Dove"

"White Dove"

In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
There's a place that I love so well
Where I spent many days of my childhood
In the cabin where we loved to dwell.

White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead.

We were all so happy there together
In our peaceful little mountain home
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
Now they sing around the great white throne.

As the years roll by I often wonder
If we will all be together someday
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray...

"Why Did I Wait So Long?"

"Why Did I Wait So Long?"

God spoke to me a hundred times
He'd call my name, I would not go
Now I cry with joy on bended knees
Could've been this happy long ago

[Chorus:]
Why did I wait so long?
Why did I wait so long?
To answer the call
From the Greatest of all
Why did I wait so long?

God's been with me through troubled times
With hands not seen, He's guided my way
But my foolish pride and worldly things
Kept me from Him until today

Why did I wait so long?
To answer the call
From the greatest of all
Why did I wait so long?
