Brand New Star
 


There’s a brand new star up in Heaven tonight
Shining down on us glorious and bright
I'm gonna miss you every day
But I know that You're alright
There's a brand new star up in Heaven tonight

There's a peace in my heart finally moving on
A calm in my conscience that sings my song
No longer will you struggle, no longer will you fight
There's a brand new star up in Heaven tonight

Let the love shine down
I'm gonna miss you every day
But I know that you're alright
There's a brand new star up in Heaven tonight

There's a break in the clouds, the sun is shining through
Speaks to my soul in a voice that sounds like you
When I lay my head down and gently close my eyes
There's a brand new star up in Heaven tonight

 

 

There Will Be Light
 


When the world is dark as a moonless night
There will be light
And when you see no hope inside
There will be light

Joy comes in the morning
And outshines the darkness of night
So hold on till the morning
There will be light

 

 

God's Got It


Well if you need it God's got it
God's got everything you need
He's got everything a poor man needs

If it's money God's got it
God's got everything you need
Could be money God's got it
He's got everything a poor man needs

If it's a friend God's got it
God's got everything you need
You need a friend? God's got it

 

 

I'd Rather Have Jesus



I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus then houses or land
I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hand

Than to be a king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
I'd rather be true to His Holy Name


 

Walk In Jerusalem

   

I want to be ready
I want to be ready when He calls me
I'm trying to get my house in order
To walk in Jerusalem, talk in Jerusalem
Sing in Jerusalem, Shout in Jerusalem
I want to walk in Jerusalem just like John

Travelin' to that city where my loved ones are gone
I'm just a weary traveler trying to make Heaven my home
I see that crystal river and I made river song
I'm gonna put on my golden slippers and walk the streets of gold

When I get over and hear the Lamb
Walk right on and take my stand
And then I'll walk, talk, sing, shout
I want to walk in Jerusalem just like John

 

 

Where He Leads Me I Will Follow

 

I can hear my Savior calling
Take thy cross and follow follow me

I'll go with Him through the garden
I'll go with Him, with all the way

Cause where He leads me I will follow
 

 

 

Pray To Jesus

 


We live in trailers and apartments too
From California to Kalamazoo
Grow up, get married, and when that one ends
We hate sleeping alone so we get married again
Don't want to be buried in debt or in sin

So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto
Cause there ain't but two ways we can change tomorrow
And there ain't no genie and there ain't no bottle
So we pray to Jesus and we play the lotto

Love to complain about what we can't fix
Mothers-in-law, traffic and politics
We tell our kids how hard it was back when
Same way our parents did to us back then
Thought we'd be different but we're just like them

We load our kids up in our new used cars
And after church we hit the mini mart
Behind the counter up there on the wall
It reads 200 million on the Powerball
Six little numbers that can change it all

Like a bumper sticker, like a poor man's motto
Times are tough and our time is borrowed

 

 

If I Die

 

 If I die drinkin' I won't feel much pain
Cause Lord we've all got demons that drive us all insane
I'd die just like my daddy with a bottle in my hand
If I die drinkin' that's just who I am

If I die cheatin' in the arms of another's girl
In a fit of rage and jealousy he takes me from this world
I can't say I'd blame him, I'd probably do the same
If I die cheatin' I'll live with the shame

If I die singin' some old lonesome song
We're all drawn to heartache when someone's done you wrong
The last song I'll be playin' when the saints go marching in
If I die singin' my song will never end

If I die prayin' to Jesus on my knees
Everyone I've ever loved will be waiting there for me
The dirt can have my body but the Lord, He owns my soul
If I die prayin' I ain't afraid to go

 

 

Let It Shine On Me



Let it shine on me
Let Your light from the lighthouse shine on me

The Lord, He's done just what He's said
Let Your light from the lighthouse shine on me
He healed the sick and He raised the dead
Let Your light from the lighthouse shine on me

I know I've got religion and I ain't ashamed
Let Your light from the lighthouse shine on me

Angels up in Heaven done wrote my name
Let Your light from the lighthouse shine on me
