MERCY CAME DOWN

HIDDEN SECRETS

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME

THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED AMAZING GRACE

PLEASE COME DOWN TO ME

STANDING ON THE PROMISES

R. KELSO CARTER

(VERSE 1)
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING
THROUGH ETERNAL AGES LET HIS PRAISES RING
GLORY IN THE HIGHEST I WILL SHOUT AND SING
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

(CHORUS)
STANDING STANDING
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY SAVIOR
STANDING STANDING
I’M STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

(VERSE 2)
STANDING ON THE PROMISES THAT CANNOT FAIL
WHEN THE HOWLING STORMS OF DOUBT AND FEAR ASSAIL
BY THE LIVING WORD OF GOD I SHALL PREVAIL
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(VERSE 3)
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST THE LORD
BOUND TO HIM ETERNALLY BY LOVE’S STRONG CORD
OVERCOMING DAILY WITH THE SPIRIT’S SWORD
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(VERSE 4)
STANDING ON THE PROMISES I CANNOT FALL
LISTENING EVERY MOMENT TO THE SPIRIT’S CALL
RESTING IN MY SAVIOR AS MY ALL IN ALL
STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD
(REPEAT CHORUS)

NO DISTANCE TOO FAR

I’M PROUD TO BE HERE

ONE GOOD REASON

CHRIS BINION 

(VERSE 1)
I’VE SEEN THE DISAPPOINTMENT IN YOUR EYES
I’VE HEARD THE WORDS YOU’VE WHISPERED
WHEN YOU THOUGHT NO ONE COULD HEAR
I KNOW YOU’VE ASKED FOR HELP A THOUSAND TIMES
I UNDERSTAND THE PAIN YOU FEEL
AND I’M COUNTING EVERY TEAR
YOU’VE ASKED FOR ONE GOOD REASON TO GO ON
JUST ONE THAT WOULD ERASE  THE HOPELESS FEELING OF DESPAIR
I HAVE CHOSEN TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT
THAT ONE REASON TO CONTINUE
SO YOU’LL KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE

(CHORUS)
I’LL GIVE YOU ONE GOOD REASON TO HOLD ON FOR AWHILE
ONE GOOD REASON TO WALK ANOTHER MILE
I’LL GIVE YOU ONE GOOD REASON TO MAKE THIS JOURNEY’S END
I AM GOD AND ALL THAT YOU NEED I AM

(BRIDGE)
THERE’LL NEVER BE A BURDEN WHERE YOU CAN’T BEAR ITS LOAD
THERE’LL NEVER BE A BATTLE THAT YOU WILL FIGHT ALONE
ANYTHING YOU NEED I’M JUST A PRAYER AWAY
REST ASSURED I’VE UNDERSTOOD AND YOUR ANSWER’S ON THE WAY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Out of the Darkness

Glory Bound

Jesus said that where I am you will also be
And one day soon He will return to take those who believe
To the place that He's prepared on the other shore
Where the problems of this earthly life won't matter anymore
Don't look for me when the rapture rolls around cause I'll be glory bound

Chorus
Glory bound- Oh the time is drawing nigh
Glory bound- And we'll bid this world goodbye
When I hear ole Gabriel's trumpet sound I'll be glory bound

Everyday it's in the news we live in troubled times
God's judgment is upon us and we're seeing all the signs
Jesus will appear as the Scriptures have foretold
The dead in Christ shall rise as His glory we behold
What joy when my feet leave the ground cause I'll be glory bound

Hurtin' People

In a world of hurtin people who don't know where to go
Some would like to help them, some just don't know
What it's like to feel the pain the wounds of sin have brought along
Like a boy that don't know his daddy cause a marriage has gone wrong

Some think they could end it, take their life with their own hands
A heart so full of questions, a life that makes no sense
Others drown their sorrows, a bottle is where they hide
Hoping to quench the thirst of their pain deep inside

Oh but Jesus knows your pain, His love is reaching out to you
You are the reason He came, just take His hand and He will lead you through

On a hill called Calvary they crucified a man
He shouldn't have suffered, He had no sin
But so many hurtin people were depending on His grace
So on a cross meant for you and me Jesus took our place

Still Holdin' On

People said I'd never make, said I'd never see it through
They don't know what keeps me going, I guess they never have met you
You know my life was in shambles until the day you came along
You turned my tears into laughter cause you gave me a brand new song

Chorus
I'm still holdin' on, Lord I'll never let you go
You gave me a smile, you touched my heart and you touched my soul
And the bridges that are behind me, Lord I'll burn them to the ground
I'm still holdin' on cause you're the best thing I ever found

Voted likely not to prosper was left hanging over my head
You'll never count for nothing, you know that's what most people said
Well I've been known to be unsettled, I've never stayed around too long
But Lord you're the treasure I've been searching for and Lord I'm still holdin' on

Behind the Rock

The disciples saw Him on the cross, sure looked like the end
Still believing, praying, hoping God would soon step in
They heard Him cry it's finished and He gave up the ghost
The grave was claiming all their dreams, looked like they'd lost everything
They sealed the tomb but little did they know

Chorus
Behind the rock a war was raging for the soul of every man
Behind the rock Jesus was taking the keys from Satan's hand
Behind the rock death and the grave stood defeated and unlocked
As the resurrection power broke out behind the rock

You may be lost and full of doubt, your future is unknown
And just like the disciples you feel like hope is gone
Take courage and remember how the story ends
God will have the final say, He's already made a way
Jesus won our victory over sin

That's Grace

It's grace when a sinner who's been bound for years
Makes his way to an altar shedding old fashioned tears
And it's grace when you've prayed for one who has strayed
And from out of nowhere he comes home one day

Chorus
That's grace, that's grace, that's God's amazing grace
Flowing from the throne mending hearts and homes
When a royal King stops His royal day to redeem an old sinner, that's grace

It's grace when you're standing in the eye of a storm
With a sweet settled peace that you'll come to know harm
And when you see a saint of God who is passing away
With no fear in their eyes and a smile on their face

Chorus
That's grace, that's grace, that's God's amazing grace
Flowing from the throne mending hearts and homes
When a royal King stops His royal day to redeem an old sinner, that's grace

Grace, grace, God's grace

When a royal King stops His royal day to redeem an old sinner that's grace

Step On Out of the Boat

Everyday I hear folks talking about what they believe
How they trust in God with the faith of a mustard seed
They have no doubts until those stormy seas begin to roll
Then they act like they're about to drown, they're all but losing hope
Jesus said you will receive if only you will ask
But if your walk is not your talk then brother you're sinking fast

No you can't use it until you prove it
You've got to let go and let God have full control
Really believing everything you're preaching
If you want to walk on water you'd better step on out of the boat

Daniel knew in the lion's den the Lord was on his side
For an angel came to keep him safe until the morning light
David slayed the giant with one stone because he knew
All he had to do was aim and God would see it through
Faith can free you from your fears but if you haven't guessed
Even the most righteous man must put Him to the test

He's So Real

How long has it been since you became my friend
And still you don't know what's inside my heart
It seems we're always joking but we've never really spoken
Of things I should've mentioned from the start
So before time slips away and we lose another day
Let me tell you something I truly believe
Jesus really loves you so much He even died to
Take away our sin and set us free

Chorus
He's so real, so real to me
And I know just where I'll spend eternity
And I want you to be there too
With open arms he waits to welcome you
There's no other way to tell you how I feel than He's so real

I wish you could have seen how much He means to me
In the way I chose to live my life
But I stumbled and I failed so many times you couldn't tell
He was hidden far behind my foolish pride
But when I got down on my knees, His grace poured over me
Forgiveness is a gift He freely gives
And He'll do the same for you if you'll receive the truth
And claim the victory all because He lives

Make Me a Promise

When God calls my number and it's time to go
I've made preparations I want you to know
I'll be in that number that meets in the air
Make me a promise that you'll meet me there

Chorus
Make me a promise that we'll meet someday
Where mansions are waiting in that land far away
I want you to tell me so I'll know it's true
Make me a promise that you'll be there too

When loved ones have gathered with tears on each face
I'd like to remind them I'm not in this place
I'm already living inside glory land
May God be with you til we meet again

Good God

A man named Barnamais was beggin by the road
He couldn't see the way to carry his own load
Jesus came a walkin and gave him back sight
And all the darkness left him and he could see the light
I wish I could have been there to see it on that day
I bet you I could tell you what the blind man had to say

Chorus
God is a good God, He's been good to me
God is a good God, He's been good to me
He's never done me wrong, He's always done me right
He brought me out of darkness into His Holy light
God is a good God, He's been good to me

Remember Paul and Silas when they were thrown in jail
They knew they had nobody to come and go their bail
The earth began to tremble, the gates swung open wide
And all who were held captive were free to go outside
I wasn't there to see it but still I know it's true
There's never been a prison gate that my God can't break through

Chorus
God is a good God, He's been good to me
God is a good God, He's been good to me
When I was locked in prison He came and set me free
Broke the chains of darkness that had a hold on me
God is a good God, He's been good to me

Now you may have a problem and you don't know what to do
It seems as if the whole world is falling down on you
Maybe I can't help you but I know one who can
He controls the universe, He made it with His hands
Just like Paul and Silas or the beggar by the way
If you'll just put your faith in Him I know you will say

Chorus
God is a good God, He's been good to me
God is a good God, He's been good to me
He broke the chains of darkness and made my burdens light
He's never done me wrong, He's always done me right
God is a good God, He's been good to me

That's How God Forgives

You say you've turned your back on God and tried to work things out your way
You've tried to heal the hurt inside but the pain won't go away
You may think God cannot forgive you after the kind of life you've lived
But friend I can tell you just how much God forgives

Chorus
When there's a river of wrongs that flows through your mind
And a mountain of faults impossible to climb
When you've lost direction by the way that you have lived
He'll let you start all over, that's how God forgives

You say you've done all you can do and you've found no one who understands
Your dreams just never quite come true and you can't give what life demands
You've walked this road with good intentions but they're swept away by circumstance
Friend I can tell you that He is a God of second chance
