He'll Understand And Say Well Done

(Roger Wilson - arr. Johnny Cash)

Give when you give him best of your service

Telling the world that the Saviour has come

Be not dismayed if man don't believe you

He'll understand and say well done

Oh when I come to the end of my journey

Weary of life and the battle is won

Bearing the staff and the cross of redemption

He'll understand and say well done

(He'll understand and say well done)

Misunderstood the Saviour of sinners

Died on the cross he was God's only son

But he knew well that his father in heaven

Would understand and say well done

Oh when I come to the end of my journey...

God Must Have My Fortune Laid Away

(Ted Harris)

(God has my fortune laid away)

Oh the world is full of people with money just to burn

Affording all the things in life for which a man might yearn

Some can take life easy but I live from day by day

God has my fortune laid away

I search for sunshine every day but there always comes the rain

The hope over my horizon was smoke without a flame

Pockets that stay empty dreams that go astray

God has my fortune laid away

(God has my fortune laid away laid away)

Oh how often I have wondered why some things have to be

Some people live in riches while some live just like me

The more I try to work and save the more I have to pay

But God has my fortune laid away (laid away)

I search for sunshine every day...

When I've Learned Enough To Die

(Buddy Killen - Ray Baker - Delbert Wilson)

(When I've learned enough to really live

I'll be old enough to die old enough to die)

I've met the Master on my knees I was tested I was tried

I've seen the God of heaven paint the fields and country side

I've been the husband of one wife heard my newborn baby cry

But when I've learned enough to really live

I'll be old enough to die old enough to die

I've always been a hard working man no stopping place have I found

But when I'm tired I'm still inspired at night when I lie down

I've learned to kinda like this earth some time I wonder why

Cause when I've learned enough to really live

I'll be old enough to die old enough to die

(When I've learned enough to really live

I'll be old enough to die old enough to die)

I've always been a hard working man...

Old enough to die

Let The Lower Lights Be Burning

(Phillip P. Bliss - Eugene Clark)

Brightly beams our father's mercy from his lighthouse evermore

But to us he gives the keeping of the lights along the shore

(Let the lower lights be burning send a beam across the wave

Some poor fainting struggling seaman) you may rescue you may save

Dark the night of sin has settled loud the angry billows roar

Eager eyes are watching longing for the lights along the shore

(Let the lower lights be burning...

If We Never Meet Again

(Albert E. Brumley)

(I will meet you on that beautiful shore)

Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey

And perhaps we'll never meet anymore

Till we gather in heaven's bright city

Far away on that beautiful shore

If we never meet again this side of heaven

As we struggle through this world and its strife

There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven

By the side of the river of life

Where the charming roses bloom forever

And where seperation comes no more

If we never meet again this side of heaven

I will meet you on that beautiful shore

Oh they say we shall meet by the river

Where no storm clouds ever darken the sky

And they say we'll be happy in heaven

In the wonderful sweet by and by

If we never meet again...

(If we never meet again this side of heaven)

I will meet you on that beautiful shore

(Beautiful beautiful shore)

When I Take My Vacation In Heaven

(Herbert Buffum - R.E. Winsett)

There are those who are taking vacations to the mountains the lakes and the sea

Where they rest from their cares and their troubles

What a wonderful time that must be

But it seems not my lot to be like them I must toil through the heat and the cold

Seekin' out the lost sheep on the mountains bringing wanderers back to the fold

But when I take my vacation in heaven what a wonderful time that will be

Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus and the face of my Saviour I'll see

Sitting down on the banks of the river neath the shade of the evergreen tree

There I'll rest from my burdens forever won't you take your vacation with me

(Sitting down on the banks of the river under the shade of the evergreen tree)

There I'll rest from my burdens forever won't you take your vacation with me

When He Reached Down His Hand For Me

(G.E. Wright - Marion Easterling - Thomas Wright)

(When he reached down his hand for me)

Once my soul was astray from the heavenly way

I was wretched and vile as could be

But my Saviour in love gave me peace from above

When he reached down his hand for me

When he reached down his hand for me

When he reached way down for me

I was lost and undone without my God or his son

When he reached down his hand for me

[ guitar ]

I was near to despair when he came to me there

And he showed me that I could be free

Then he lifted my feet gave me gladness complete

When he reached down his hand for me

When he reached down his hand for me...

Taller Than Trees

(Lee Ferebee)

On your knees you are taller than trees you can look over heartaches and pain

When my faith is gone to my knees I will go growing stronger and taller than trees

One night it was a long time ago now I knelt at my mother's knee

And she said son lift up your eyes to him in the skies

And you'll grow like the mighty oaks

But you son created in image of God can become taller than the tallest trees

And this was the answer I felt as down at her knees I knelt

On your knees you're taller than trees

You can look over all your heartaches and son you can look over all of your pains

When my faith is gone to my knees I will go growing stronger and taller than trees

I Won't Have To Cross Jordan Alone

(Thomas Ramsey - Charles E. Durham)

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

[ piano ]

Often times I'm weary and troubled and sad

When it seems that my friends have all flon

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...

[ guitar ]

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...

My God Is Real

(Kenneth Morris)

There are some things I may not know there are some places I can't go

But I am sure of this one thing my God is real for I can feel him in my soul

My god is real real in my soul my God is real for he has washed and made me whole

His love for me is like pure gold my God is real for I can feel him in my soul

[ piano ]

Some folks may doubt some folks may scorn

Well they can all go on just leave me alone

But ask for me I'll take God's part

My God is real for I can feel him in my heart

My god is real real...

These Hands

(Eddie Noack)

These hands aren't the hands of a gentleman these hands are calloused and old

These hands raised a family these hands built a home

Now these hands raised to praise the Lord

These hands won the heart of my loved one and with hers they were never alone

If these hands filled their task then what more could you ask

For these fingers have worked to the bone

[ organ ]

Now don't try to judge me by what you'd like me be

For my life hasn't been a success

Some people have power but still they grieve

While these hands brought me happiness

Now I'm tired and I'm old and I haven't much gold

Maybe things ain't been all that I planned

Lord above hear my plea when it's time to judge me

Take a look at these hard working hands take a look at these hard working hands
