INTO THE FIRE by Lisa Fuglie Three men don't know what to do How can they turn their back on God King Nebuchadnezzar said, Your God is not the truth Renounce, or you must go Into the fire Go into the fire Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego And they went into the Fire They went into the fire Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego How can this be? There are not three but four, standing in the flames This king will concede, bring them to me Their God is the One who saves From the fire They went into the fire Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Not alone in the fire There were four in the fire Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego When those who wield the power say you must do That which goes against our God Don't be afraid, you are not alone Have faith, even as you go Into the fire Go into the fire like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego They went into the fire They went into the fire Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Feed the hungry, clothe the poor When they knock, open up your door God is seen in everyone Let us pray His kingdom comes Love your brother as yourself Love defies the fires of Hell Illuminate the false command Take a step for God and man Step into the fire Step into the fire like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego They went into the fire They went into the fire Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

THE TOUCH OF GOD’S HAND by Vern Williams & Ray Park When my burdens grow heavy (heavy, heavy) and it seems there’s no way I kneel by my bedside and the Lord’s Prayer I’ll pray God lifts me right up (right up, right up) and He makes me to stand Because when I’m troubled I’ll wait for the touch of God’s hand I once had a vision (vision, vision) as I knelt to pray I saw Jesus coming and the world pass away And then I was troubled (troubled, troubled) but He makes me to stand Because when I’m troubled I’ll wait for the touch of God’s hand Thank God for a mother (mother, mother) who taught me to pray So I can be ready on the great judgement day When problems arise (arise, arise) that I don’t understand I’ll kneel down and wait–yes, I’ll wait I’ll wait for the touch of God’s hand

JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE Traditional I am weak, but Thou art strong Jesus, keep me from all wrong I’ll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee CHORUS: Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it, Jesus, is my plea Daily walking close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be Through this world of toil and snares If I falter, Lord, who cares Who with me my burden shares None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee CHORUS When my feeble life is o’er Time for me will be no more Guide me gently, safely o’er To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore CHORUS

ONE LIFE by David Via & Ronnie Bowman Never claimed to have much money no mansions do I own There are those who criticize me but at least I’m not alone ‘Cause I got friends and all my family and they love me for who I am, not what I’ll be There are those who curse the losers, even the winners but they can’t see CHORUS: We only have one life, let someone live it Why don’t we give up intolerant ways We only have one world and others live in it Why don’t we give love instead of hate No one knows all the answers We’re still searching to find the way I’m not worried about tomorrow I got all I can handle today I don’t want to judge my brothers or my sisters let’s just love them for who they are or let them be I know some despise the weaker and hate the stronger but as for me CHORUS CHORUS Instead of hate, why don’t we give love

OAK GROVE CHURCH by Don Reno There's an old church so dear, standing lonesome and still and in memory it's still to me A place still so sweet where I heard as a boy the old hymn Nearer My God To Thee CHORUS: Oh the mem.........ories untold Oh the wonderful, beautiful memories untold Oak grove.......................of old In that old precious oak grove of old Will live on till the end of time For the Sav.................ior was there For the wonderful, heavenly Savior was there Each time........................the bells tolled Yes, each time that old church bell would toll Looking for His lost sheep to find There I heard mother sing and I heard daddy pray with the tears running down their face Many now have passed on whose souls there were saved while we all sang Amazing Grace CHORUS There's still an oak grove where I played as a boy and I'm sure there is still a well And I know every spring sweeter still the birds sing Some will nest in the old church bell CHORUS

HE DID RISE by Mark Anderson Early on a Sunday, the women at the tomb found the rock was rolled away, His body had left the room An angel said to them while clad in glowing white Do not look among the dead for the One who is alive CHORUS: He did rise (Jesus is risen, cleared a path to glory) He did rise (Jesus is risen, cleared a path to glory) He did rise (Jesus is risen, cleared a path to glory) and the way (the way is) written in the book of our Lord He is not here, He has been freed Remember what He said to you in Galilee The Son of Man must die by sinners crucified that He may lead us all to grace when in triumph He will rise CHORUS Do not be afraid, Jesus said to the three Go and tell my brothers, Meet in Galilee He said, Tell all the people everywhere that the Son of Man did rise and He truly is the Way CHORUS

SATAN’S JEWELED CROWN by The Louvin Brothers CHORUS: Satan's jeweled crown I've worn it so long but God for my soul has reached down His love set me free, He made me His own And He helped me cast off Satan's jeweled crown If I could be king or ruler of nations where jewels and diamonds abound I'd rather know that I have salvation then to know my reward was Satan's jeweled crown CHORUS When I lived my life so reckless and evil drinking and runnin’ around The things I would do, they were the will of the devil I would give him my soul for Satan's jeweled crown CHORUS

WHO'S THAT KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR by Pat Enright CHORUS: Who's that knockin' at my door, have I heard that knock before Is it evil tryin' to get into my room Who's that tappin' at my window, who's callin' me to go to a place that is filled with dark and gloom Oh this life that I'm livin’, it seems so unforgivin' I find trouble everywhere that I go I always seek it first just to quench my burnin' thirst in waters that are cool as fallin' snow CHORUS But the waters are also deep, what you sow you must reap Now, I hear a knocking at my door It's evil standing outside, there's no place to run an' hide Bless my soul, it pressed me to the floor CHORUS Oh, I've been down that pathway, it always leads the wrong way But this time, I don't think I'll be back It's like a freight train pullin’ me, there's a dark tunnel ahead I see This train's goin' down a one-way track CHORUS

THE FAR SIDE BANKS OF JORDAN by Terry Smith I believe my steps are growing wearier each day Still I've got a journey on my mind Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay and my one regret is leaving you behind If it proves to be His will that I am first to go and somehow I’ve a feeling it will be When it comes your turn to travel likewise don’t you feel lost for I will be the first one that you see CHORUS: And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout and come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand Through this life we’ve labored long to earn our meager fare It’s brought us trembling hands and failing eyes I’ll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away until you come then we'll see paradise CHORUS

SHUT UP IN THE MINES AT COAL CREEK Traditional The birds are sweetly singing and the sun is shining bright But in our place of toiling It is as dark as night CHORUS: Shut up in the mines at coal creek I know we're bound to die But if we'll trust in Jesus our souls to heaven will fly Oh, I see my loved one My wife is in distress She does not know that her husband is going home to rest CHORUS The sky is falling, my darling and death is right at hand I'm going home to heaven to live in a better land CHORUS

GET THEE BEHIND ME by Mary Henderson Mean old Satan, wanting to find you Waiting to catch you, wanting to keep you Round every corner, around every bend He wants to take you in You got to hide, oh, you got to run or Satan will get you, your soul he’ll win Where will you run to, where will you go Oh, who will protect you and keep you from sin Get thee behind me, mean old Satan You’ll never find me, you’ll never find me Mean old Satan, get thee behind me You’ll never find me here Behind the rock, the solid rock Oh, that’s where I’ll hide, oh, that’s where I’ll stay Behind the rock where Moses stood Behind that rock I’ll find a hiding place Mean old Satan, knows what he’s after Hush, here he comes now, he’ll steal your soul He’ll take it away and he’ll be your master He wants you for his own Don’t let him find you, don’t let him catch you You’ve got to hide, oh, you’ve got to pray Behind the rock where Moses stood Behind that rock you’ll find a hiding place
