1.	At the Cross 03:58	lyrics	buy track
Alas, and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die. Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light And the burden of my heart rolled away. It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day. Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity grace unknown And love beyond degree. At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light And the burden of my heart rolled away. It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day.
2.	Walking in Sunlight 02:11	lyrics	buy track
Walking in sunlight all of my journey Over the mountain, through the deep vale; Jesus hath said, "I'll never forsake thee." Promise divine that never can fail, Refrain: Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight, Flooding my soul with glory divine. Hallelujah, I am rejoicing, Singing His praises, Jesus is mine. In the bright sunlight, ever rejoicing, Pressing my way to mansions above; Singing His praises, gladly I'm walking, Walking in sunlight, sunlight of love. Refrain:
3.	O Great God 03:44	lyrics	buy track
O great God of highest heav'n, occupy my lowly heart. Own it all and reign supreme, conquer ev'ry rebel pow'r. Let no vice or sin remain that resists Thy holy war. Thou hast loved and purchased me; make me Thine forevermore. I was blinded by my sin, had no ears to hear Thy voice; Did not know Thy love within, had no taste for heavens joys. Then Thy Spirit gave me life, opened up Thy word to me, Through the gospel of Thy Son, gave me endless hope and peace. Help me now to live a life that's dependent on Thy grace. Keep my heart and guard my soul from the evils that I face. Thou art worthy to be praised with my ev'ry thought and deed. O great God of highest heav'n, glorify Thy Name through me.
4.	Hide Thou Me 03:18	lyrics	buy track
O, then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, Hide Thou me." Sometime I feel discouraged, and I think my work's in vain. I'm tempted oft to murmur, to grumble and complain; O, but then I think of Jesus and all He's done for me. Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me." O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me. There is no other Refuge can save, Lord, but Thee. And through this dark world I've wandered far, far from Thee. Then I cry, "O Rock of Ages, hide Thou me."
5.	Don't Be Afraid 03:57	lyrics	buy track
The disciples were tossed on a cold, raging sea, But Jesus was sleeping so peacefully. They cried, "Master, O don't you care that we die?" He spoke three soft words, "Peace, be still." It was the storm that had to die. Refrain: So don't be afraid when the darkness is closing. The Master is near; His voice calms every storm. When the world says, "It's over!", the Master says, "No, I've just begun!" In your darkest of time, whether rain or in sunshine, Don't be afraid. I know how it feels to be tossed by the storm. I know how it feels to be battered and torn. Yet I know how it feels to be carried on through, Calmed by the strength of the One who's been faithful and true. Refrain:
6.	Mary Did You Know 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water? Mary, did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new? This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you. Mary, did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand? Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod? When you kissed your little baby, then you kissed the face of God. The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again; The lame will leap, the dumb will speak the praises of the Lamb. Mary, did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations? Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb? This sleeping child you're holding is the great I AM!
7.	I Can Do All Things 02:30	lyrics	buy track
Standing at the water's edge, the waves are raging high. Faith in Christ is all we have to make the ocean dry. Though the hosts of evil are closing in behind, When we take the faithful step, help is what we find. Refrain: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Say to the mountains, "Move into the sea." I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Not by might not by pow'r, by nothing of our own, But with the resurrection strength that rolled away the stone. All the hosts of heaven are watching as we race. Faith will bring the finish line, but only by His grace. Refrain:
8.	Be Thou Near to Me 03:39	lyrics	buy track
O Lord, I come with heart here open, For in my hour of darkness I may be Seeking the joy of love unspoken. O Lord, be thou near to me. Refrain: And the holy voices sing, "Hallelu, Ever will Thy reign be!" As I wander through this life, O Lord, be thou near to me. Though in this burden of my making, Yet in the shadows still a light I see. Maker whose love is not forsaken, O Lord, be thou near to me. Refrain:
9.	Little Is Much 03:53	lyrics	buy track
In the harvest field now ripened There’s a work for all to do; Hark! the voice of God is calling To the harvest calling you. Refrain: Little is much when God is in it, Labor not for wealth or fame; There’s a crown, and you will wear it, When you go in Jesus’ name. Does the place you’re called to labor Seem too small and little known? It is great when God is in it, And He’ll not forget His own. Refrain: When the conflict here is ended And our race on earth is run, He will say to all the faithful, "Welcome home, My child, well done!" Refrain:
10.	We'll Sing and Shout 03:37	lyrics	buy track
Refrain: When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, we'll sing and shout the victory. Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing His mercy and His grace; In the mansions bright and blessed, He'll prepare for us a place. Refrain: While we walk this pilgrim pathway, clouds will overspread the sky; but when traveling days are over, not a shadow, not a sigh. Refrain: Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of Him in glory Will the toils of life repay. Refrain: Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we'll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open; We shall tread the streets of gold. Refrain:
11.	Blessings 05:18	lyrics	buy track
We pray for blessings, we pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Thy mighty hand to ease our suffering And all the while, You hear each spoken need Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things Refrain: 'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise We pray for wisdom, Thy voice to hear We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near We doubt Thy goodness, we doubt Thy love As if every promise from Thy word is not enough And all the while, You hear each desperate plea And call us to have faith to believe Refrain: When friends betray us When darkness seems to win We know that pain reminds this heart That this is not, This is not our home This is not our home Refrain: What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy What if trials of this life The rain, the storms, the hardest nights Are your mercies in disguise
12.	More Than Ever 04:23	lyrics	buy track
When I started my journey in fresh childlike trust I believed that the Lord's way was best. I would read in His Word how He mothered the bird And grieved when it fell from its nest. How I felt His delight when I chose to do right, And I prayed I would not make Him sad. We would meet on the way in the cool of the day, What a pure sweet communion we had. Refrain: Oh, but now more than ever I cherish the cross. More than ever I sit at His feet. All the miles of my journey have proved my Lord true, And He is so precious to me. The road I have traveled has sometimes been steep, Through wild jagged places of life. Sometimes I've stumbled and fallen so hard That the stones cut my soul like a knife. But the staff of my Shepherd would reach out for me And lift me to cool pastures green. With oil of the spirit anointing my wounds, There I'd rest by the clear healing stream. Refrain: Is Love's Old Sweet Story too good to be true? Do you find all this hard to believe? Has the cruel world we live in so battered your heart That the hurt child inside you can't grieve? I can't say I blame you. I've been where you are. But all I can say is It's true! You're wanted, You're precious, You're the love of His heart, And the old rugged cross was for you. Refrain:
13.	Sing Your Way Home 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Sing your way home at the close of the day. Sing your way home, drive the shadows away. Where'er you go, wherever you roam, It will brighten your road, lighten your load If you sing, sing your way home. Just sing, sing your way home Goin' home, goin' home, Lord, I'm goin' home Goin' home, 'goin home, Never more to roam. I am goin' home. Sing, sing, sing, sing Sing your way home. Just sing, sing your way home.
14.	Then Sings My Soul 04:12	lyrics	buy track
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. Refrain: Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art! And when I think of God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And there proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" Refrain:
