Peter and John saw while walking along
A lame man begging alms by the gate
Straightway they told, “We’ve no silver or gold,
But for you a great treasure awaits.”
Now such as I have give I thee
In the name of the Lord, rise up and walk”
And be not amazed that a crippled was raised
It’s through Jesus we do great things.
Chorus
Great things are in store for the child of the Lord
When he walks with the King of kings
And each word that you say
When you kneel down to pray
Will be carried on the backs of angels wings.
When you walk with Jesus
You’re going to do great things.
Now we have big dreams when we’re younger
It seems of a life where we do great things.
But life finds a way of taking our dreams away
When our plans unravel at the seams.
And though you feel small in God’s eyes
You’ll stand tall if your footsteps are faithful and true
For the same power that raised Lazarus up from the grave
Is the same power Jesus gives to you.
Chorus
I won’t worry if I’m never famous,
Or for those worldly pleasures I’ve missed.
For Jesus gave me sweet peace like a river.
Tell me what could be greater than this?
Chorus
When you walk with Jesus
You’re going to do great things.
I’m here to sing the story of a mansion up in glory
Where the banner of the Lord is waiting in the sky.
A land where little children play
Among the saints in white array
Oh what a day in the sweet, sweet by and by
Chorus
I’m gonna step from star to star
As I walk down the Milky Way
I’m gonna join my friends and loved ones
In that golden street parade
There’ll be voices by the millions
With a shout of jubilee
Hand in hand with Jesus in that golden street parade
Marching in the golden street parade.
Down here my steps grow weary
My nights sometimes are weary
But faith has caught a glimpse of Heaven’s shore
With Jesus there tomorrow, I’ll end this veil of sorrow
I’ll walk on streets of gold forever more.
Chorus
Marching hand in hand in hand in hand
Love To Tell The Story
I love to tell the story
Twill be my theme in Glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

God Didn't Come To Save The Angels
Mark Bishop
Possum Run Music/Centergy Music
Verse 1
An old man passed by a storefront mission,
Where a young man was standing outside.
"I know you're just passing through, but we're about to get started.
Would you like to come in for a while?"
He said, "I'd like to son, but you're asking the wrong man.
It's been twenty years since I've been to church.
I guess I quit going when my family left me,
Cause who needs a drunk out of work?"
Then a church bell rang somewhere in the distance,
And a moment of silence passed by.
Then the young man spoke with the voice of compassion,
Through the tear that had formed in his eyes.
Chorus
Saying God didn't come to save the angels.
If He did, there'd be nothing to do.
But He saw a world filled with imperfect people,
And He gave His life for He knew
That He had to save all these imperfect people.
People just like me and you.
Verse 2
To the unwed mother, or the junkie who's homeless.
To life's broken and battered and bruised.
From the slums in the cities
To the poor mountain family,
Each soul is worth too much to lose.
And sometimes the church forgets we have a mission,
To reach those who are hurting and lost.
For Jesus loved all the despised and rejected
So much that He died on a cross
Repeat Chorus
Forever Springtime
Springtime was her favorite time of year.
She loved to see the pretty flowers bloom.
And everyday she whispered “thank you Lord.”
Cause she could see them from the window in her room.
Now and again her children came to see her.
But not as often as she would have liked.
Her smile was like a golden ray of sunshine.
She was living in the winter of her life
The doctor said the end was drawing nearer.
Her children came to sit close by her side.
They whispered “Momma, is there anything that we can do for you?”
She held their hands and this was her reply.
Chorus
“Don’t cry for me, I’m going home to see my Savior.
There’s a garden He’s been tending just for me.
Why I can almost smell the sweet perfume of roses on the vine
Dry your eyes. Don’t you cry.
I’m just going where it is forever springtime.
Promise me some day you’ll come and see me.
I’ll be waiting by the crystal sea.
Where the Tree of Life is blooming.
That’s where you will find me.
And we’ll praise our Lord throughout eternity.
Chorus
I can’t wait to see the morning sky
Everything quiet and all dark inside,
Walking steadily down a flight of stairs,
Follow the sign that tells me I should be there.
Carousel, turns makes me dizzy,
Carousel, I’m feeling weak,
Carousel, just one more ditty,
Till I fall off into my sleep.
Tired people scattered everywhere,
Look all around to see what should be there,
Take me back to where we used to play,
Back to where we used to play the other day.
Carousel, turns makes me dizzy,
Carousel, I’m feeling weak,
Carousel, just one more ditty,
Till I fall off into my sleep.
Drop all my coins into the waterside,
Can’t remember what it was I had to find,
Tread along a path that isn’t clear,
At the end the morning will appear.
Carousel, turns makes me dizzy,
Carousel, I’m feeling weak,
Carousel, just one more ditty,
Tried so hard to breakaway,
Another home a place to stay,
Somewhere no one will follow me,
A little town of history.
Please don’t be long,
Please don’t be long,
Please don’t be long.
It’s getting harder with everyday,
Another down no other way,
Fighting hard got heavy load,
I hit the tracks I hit the road.
Please don’t be long,
Please don’t be long,
Please don’t be long.
Time to leave time to go,
People search nobody knows,
Of my departure so suddenly,
From little town of history.
Please don’t be long,
Please don’t be long,
Chorus
Well old blind Bartimaeus stood on the way, blind
Blind Bartimaeus stood on the way.
Well old blind Bartimaeus stood on the way, crying
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
In my God's bible, the word proclaims
that Christ went healing the crippled and the lame.
He gave to the poor and the needy bread.
Healing the sick and raising the dead.
And then when He came to Galilee.
He passed by a man that could not see
Well, the main was blind, he was blind for birth.
They tell me that his name was Blind Bartimaeus.
Repeat Chorus
When Bartimaeus heard that the Lord was nigh,
He fell on his knees and began to crying
Oh thou man of Galilee
Cryin' great God Almighty, have mercy on me.
Crying Oh Lord, (Mary's baby)
Oh Lord, (Son of David)
Oh Lord, (Bleeding Lamb)
Oh, my Lord from in Bethlehem
Then my Lord, He stopped and He turned around
And He saw Blind Bartimaeus on the ground
And He touched his eyes with the palm of His hand
Blind Bartimaeus saw like a natural man.
He cried Thank God
Thank God
Thank God
Thank my God from in Bethlehem.
I don’t know what to do or what to say,
But I just keep on losing my way,
I don’t know where I am or what to do,
But I keep feeling that everything I do goes,
Back and forth, back and forth,
Back and forth, back and forth,
I keep losing my way,
I still feel this heartache, yeah, yeah,
I don’t kwon why I always end up here,
When I try to find a place somewhere near,
I can see ahead the things that I should do,
But something in my way always seems to send me,
Back and forth, back and forth,
I keep losing my way,
I still feel this heartache, yeah, yeah,
I keep losing my way,
I still feel this heartache, yeah, yeah,
I don’t know what to do or what to say,
But I just keep on losing my way,
I don’t know where I am or what to do,
But I keep feeling that everything I do goes,
Back and forth, back and forth,
Back and forth, back and forth,
Back and forth, back and forth,
Back and forth, back and forth,
Back and forth, back and forth,
I feel uncertain I feel unsure,
Of what it is that I do any more,
No longer care for today,
For it is sad that we never say;
Hello, say hello, say hello,
To everyone,
Say hello, say hello, say hello,
To everyone.
Can’t you feel better than this?
Within your empty loneliness,
The choice is yours it’s now or never,
So come on let’s all say together;
Hello, say hello, say hello,
To everyone,
Say hello, say hello, say hello,
To everyone.
Hello, say hello, say hello,
To everyone,
Say hello, say hello, say hello,
To everyone.
No more feelings no more thoughts,
Of what it was that you taught,
I know that in time I will play,
Verse 1
From the day you were born, you stared on a journey.
Trying to do the right thing, running from the wrong.
I was doing pretty good until I got a little older,
And I never knew what hit me when the devil came along.
I knew there was something missing in my life.
Felt a little tug, but I never would obey.
Then I found me a church and I listened to the preacher.
Made a lot of sense when I heard him say...
Chorus
You're already gonna live forever.
Don't you wanna know somebody over there.
Have you made up your mind where you're gonna be living?
You're gonna live forever and you better know where.
You're gonna live forever and you better know where.
Verse 2
Everywhere I look, I see a lot of people,
Living like tomorrow never will arrive.
Trying everything that comes down the road,
It's by the grace of God that they're even still alive.
They don't wanna know there's gonna come a day
When we will give account for everything we've done.
They don't think about that resurrection morning.
When they think it's over, it's really just begun
Repeat Chorus 3x
Well don’t you know It’s so high (so high) you can’t get over it.
So low (so low) you can’t get under it
So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it
You must come in at the door
So high (so high) you can’t get over it
So low (so low) you can’t get under it.
So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it
You must come in at the door
Well, you can’t get there by walking
And you can’t get there by land
Now if you want to get to Heaven at all
You must go hand in hand.
And you can’t get there by walking
And you can’t get there by air.
Now if you want to see Heaven at all
You must go there by prayer.
So high (so high) you can’t get over it
So low (so low) you can’t get under it.
So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it
You must come in at the door
Well, Rebecca she said she saw Him
Come riding up in the air
Well it was so high you couldn’t get over
The Bible does declare.
Brother Jonah in the bottom of the deep blue sea.
In the belly of the whale he stopped.
Well he was so low he couldn’t get under
He had to come to the top
So high (so high) you can’t get over it
So low (so low) you can’t get under it.
So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it
You must come in at the door
Now old Pharaoh he drove those children
Across the wide sea and he found
That it was so wide he couldn’t get around
So he went right through and drowned
Now I told you folks how hard it was
I made it plain to see
So if you want to get o Heaven at all
Come on and follow me
So high (so high) you can’t get over it
So low (so low) you can’t get under it.
So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it
You must come in at the door
So high (so high) you can’t get over it
So low (so low) you can’t get under it.
So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it
Woke Up This Morning
When my alarm clock rang today a smile appeared across my face
Just like it happened early yesterday.
And I suppose it’s safe to say tomorrow’s gonna be the same
Cause this feeling down deep inside ain’t about to change.
Chorus
Woke up this morning listening for a trumpet.
Caught a glimpse of Glory when I knelt down to pray.
Got a homesick feeling thinking about a great homecoming
Woke up this morning saying this could be the day.
Now some may criticize the way we dream about a better place
So far away beyond the cloudy blue.
But if they’ll let the Lord above come fill them with his joy and love
Some happy day we’ll hear them singing too.
Chorus
This could be the day
This could be the day
When the clouds will roll away
Chorus
Times are getting harder than before,
These days I find I’m always getting bored,
I look forward to be with you,
But now I don’t know what to do.
Will you ever come back again?
Will you ever come back again?
I thought our love would last so many years,
But now I sit alone with many tears,
For I wonder what you do,
And if maybe sometime soon.
Will you ever come back again?
Will you ever come back again?
Will you ever come back again?
When you’ve reached the summit of men’s expectations.
And success leaves you as empty as before.
If you’ve climbed life’s ladder and you’re feeling lonesome.
If you’ve tried it all and still you thirst for more.
Chorus
You’ll never come up empty when Jesus is your well.
When you seek that living water,
I am here to tell you every time I go
I find an overflowing pail.
You’ll never come up empty when Jesus is your well.
Now I am not the first to taste this water.
There are millions who have found this well I know.
Like the woman from Samaria who found out
This water satisfies a thirsty soul.
If you’ve fallen short of goals you’ve always dreamed of.
You’re well’s gone dry and there’s no sign of rain.
When you try a taste of Jesus’ living water.
One drink and you will never thirst again.
Chorus
Every time I go I find an overflowing pail.
You’ll never come up empty when Jesus is your well.
You’ll never come up empty when Jesus is your well.
I can’t believe this is now happening to me,
No light ahead just darkness I see.
Life is so slow travelling our way home,
Travelling our way home.
I thought I found a way but then I got lost,
Can’t seem to find a path or bridge I can cross.
Life is so slow travelling our way home,
Travelling our way home.
I don’t know where now to look or go,
This unfamiliar place that I just don’t know,
Too many drinks I’ve had inside of me,
I’m finding it hard to look or to see.
Life is so slow travelling our way home,
Travelling our way home,
Everytime that you arrive,
I look away, away,
Everytime that you arrive,
Its hard to say, to say,
That now,
The only place that I can look is down,
Everytime you try to smile,
You hide your face, your face,
What was once so beautiful,
Is now lost with no trace,
No trace
I try to forget most of the time,
Push all these thoughts to the back of my mind,
Cant believe what youve done,
I cannot believe all that youve done,
That now,
The only place that I can look is down,
That now,
In a dream last night I stood upon a hillside.
And in the shadow of the cross I realized
That this place was where I first met my Redeemer
Saw salvations plan unfold before my eyes
Chorus
I saw a place where a multitude had gathered.
I saw the Man who bled and died upon the tree.
He saw one lost and desperate soul somewhere in time.
That place was Mount Calvary.
That man was Jesus
And that soul was mine.
I saw the crown of thorns they placed upon His head.
My eyes beheld the mother weeping at His feet.
I saw the dirt turn moist with each drop of blood that fell.
And when I woke I cried fo all He did for me
Chorus
That place was Mount Calvary.
It’s always a great pleasure to be,
So high, so high,
No longer at the bottom or the middle,
So high, so high.
For days and days I wonder,
Through the sun the light and the thunder.
So high, so high,
So high, so high.
So high, so high,
So high, so high.
I can’t believe my luck that I got here,
So high, so high,
But now I need some help to get off here,
So high, so high.
For days and days I wonder,
Through the fire the heat and the hunger.
So high, so high,
So high, so high.
Help get me off I seem to be stuck,
So high, so high,
It’s difficult and I need to come down please,
So high, so high.
For days and days I wonder,
Through the cold the chill I am under,
For days and days I wonder,
Through the cold the chill I am under.
So high, so high,
It all starts with just one voice
That takes a stand, that makes a choice
To live for God and not hesitate
To tell the world about amazing grace
One day that seed somehow breaks through
Where there was one, there now stands two
And soon another takes his hand
A ray of hope that spreads across the land.
Across the mountains. Across the sea.
Soon other's join in harmony.
They've found the cross still standing strong.
And soon a mighty chorus sings along.
Chorus
Go reach the world, touch one more soul
Bring one more lamb back to the fold.
Each soul another flag unfurled.
Each voice another chance to reach the world.
Don't let me pray, Lord, for wealth or fame.
A spark that sets the world aflame.
But help me reach the lost and alone
Tel tell of joy and hope where hope was gone.
Pray, pray for the power
Have you ever found yourself in a little situation
And you wondered if this time you’d make it through?
When it seems the powers of darkness
Are camped out all around you
And the vultures overhead are circling you.
Hold on tight to the promise that Jesus is with you
In the midst of your faith He’ll be found
There’s no barrier Satan can put in your path
That Jesus can’t bring to the ground.
Chorus
Pray for the power and call on the Master and wait for the answer to come.
In only a minute after my God is in it the victory’s already won.
There’s no telling what miracle is waiting in store.
And prayer is the key that will unlock the door.
So when you prayer for the power and call on the Master
The victory is already won.
Have you ever seen a Christian who’s just going through the motions?
Well I must admit I’m guilty now and then.
But the key to my survival is a Holy Ghost revival
That renews that passion in our hearts again.
And He’s given each Christian that burning ambition
In each heart He has placed that desire.
On the dry days I’ll pray to the Lord for the rain.
And on the good days I’ll pray for the fire.
Chorus
There’s no telling what miracle is waiting in store.
And prayer is the key that will unlock the door.
When you pray for the power
And call on the Master
The victory is already won.
There was a lady who lived in our town.
She lived alone above the grocery store.
She used to walk through the parks in the evening.
But I hardly see her out anymore.
I've heard them speak of her reputation.
People say "hi" and that's where it ends.
She comes to church and sits on the back row.
She never seemed to have too many friends.
Just last Sunday, after the preachin',
The pastor invited the church to pray.
Everyone gathered around the alter.
I knelt down not three feet away.
I hardly began when I was distracted.
I couldn't even finish my prayer.
I couldn't help but overhearing,
She was talking to God like he was standing there.
Saying "Let me be perfectly honest.
This world never saw much in me.
I've never had great wealth or honor,
Or my name in lights for the world to see.
I've always lived a simple life,
A humble beginning, a humble end.
But let me be perfectly honest
All I really want is to call you friend."
Later I saw here walking one evening.
She didn't seem so sad anymore.
I said "Hello, I've been meaning to tell you,
I heard your prayer in church Sunday morn.
I shouldn't have listened but I wanted to tell you,
I'm believing in faith, Jesus heard your plea."
She only smiled and said, "that's funny.
Where you been Today? Where you been today?
Have you got much to say? Got much to say?
I’ve heard you’ve been going,
You’ve been going around, yeah!
Well please let me be, please let me be,
Cause it’s unfair you see unfair you see,
I’ve heard you’ve been going,
You’ve been going around, yeah!
The manace about town is going to get me,
The manace about town is going to get me.
Well if your gonna make it so please make it so,
If you have the will if you have the will,
I’ve heard you’ve been going,
You’ve been going around, yeah!
The manace about town is going to get me,
The manace about town is going to get me.
Well you have been away you have been away,
Cause you wanna change your ways, wanna change your ways,
I’ve heard you’ve been going,
You’ve been going around, yeah!
The manace about town is going to get me,
The manace about town is going to get me,
Is going to get me,
Is going to get me,
I can’t see a day past tomorrow,
It’s not clear at all,
In these times these days of uncertainty,
I can’t see through it all.
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it at all,
Can’t see it at all.
I know it’s hard living this way,
Not knowing what else to do,
I don’t know of any solution,
I don’t know what to do.
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it at all,
Can’t see it at all, yeah!
Can’t see it at all,
Can’t see it at all.
I know its sad living this way,
Feeling so cynical,
I can never find a better way,
Living my life in a hole.
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it,
I can’t see it at all,
There he goes again. He get’s up at 6am each and every weekday morning.
Michael starts his car and he sets out in the dark
While the rain outside is pouring.
He drives fifteen minutes or so and turns on the radio
And hears some ole fellow preaching.
He starts talking of peace and love; something Michael needs more of
And he starts to do some thinking.
Michael feels the cold of a world without a soul
And wonders why he feels so lonely.
Is there something that he has missed, oh there must be more to life than this.
He’d give all he has if only he could find someone who cares.
He recalls a childhood prayer and wonders if it really mattered.
He finds a place to kneel and pray. He gives the pain and hurt away
And suddenly he finds his answer.
Chorus
This is the story of the day when Michael gave the world away.
He found a better way to live and someone willing to forgive.
Though no one noticed here on Earth, Heaven celebrates the birth
And the angels won’t forget that day.
When Michael made his getaway.
And the world keeps turning round and round the same way.
From here it looks to be another day.
But Michael knows today that something’s different.
There’s a holy light inside him. And the angels walk beside him.
And God Himself knows every step he takes.
He takes
Chorus
Michael made his getaway
Michael made his getaway
When you’re broken have you spoken to the Lord
What you got to offer?
Your brains or your bones?
Or those from another source?
That of your foes?
So answer completely,
The total truth,
No lies or indictments,
Nothing but filth.
No time for overkill,
Just what you deserve,
I can’t give up now,
For the boy or the girl,
What’s in a season?
What was my youth?
I’ve got to live up now,
Up to the truth.
One more town,
To settle down,
To turn your face to,
Oh, to make no sound,
So answer completely,
The total truth,
No lies or indictments,
Nothing but filth.
Sun’s going down,
Too soon the dark has come,
I wish today would never end,
Cause tomorrow, tomorrow you’ll be gone.
Sun’s going down,
Morn is rising in the sky,
I wish today would never end,
Cause tomorrow, tomorrow you’ll be gone.
Sun’s going down,
My love for you it will last now,
I wish today would never end,
Cause tomorrow, tomorrow you’ll be gone.
I’ll be thinking of you,
I’ll be thinking of you,
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream anymore,
The slightest disturbance of all the people next door,
Be by my side, be by my side,
I just can’t take this anymore,
I kwon that it’s hurting and I can’t find a cure.
Oh, in the night, in the night, in the night,
In the night, in the night, in the night oh,
In the night, in the night, in the night,
In the night, in the night.
It’s haunting me it seems to be haunting you too,
I don’t know what else I can say, what more I can do,
The people outside, people outside,
The here so soon,
We’ll take out a boat and we will sail to the moon.
Oh, in the night, in the night, in the night,
In the night, in the night, in the night oh,
In the night, in the night, in the night,
In the night, in the night.
In the night, in the night, in the night,
In the night, in the night, in the night oh,
In the night, in the night, in the night,
In the night, in the night.
I will sing a song about thoughts in my head,
I know that it’s strange but I just can’t sleep in my bed,
I could have found some fulfillment in the things of this world for a while.
I might have found gold at the end of the rainbow, living my life in grand style
Or I could have found myself searching for peace in a bottle or pill
But I’m glad I looked for life’s answers on a cross at the top of a hill.
Chorus
I’m so glad I found Jesus when I think of where I could have been.
He knew the troubles awaiting for me just around the bend.
He’s a friend when I’m lonely.
He’s a provider in need.
I’m so glad I found Jesus.
I’m so glad Jesus found me.
So many souls who are searching, they look everywhere to find
The joy and contentment they long for.
In hopes they’ll find some peace of mind.
But I’ve found a cool well of mercy.
It satisfies my thirsty soul.
There’s more than enough to fill every cup.
And for those in need, it overflows.
Chorus
I’m so glad I found Jesus
This morning again I told to a friend
Things I’m sure He’s already heard.
But each though I share when I kneel in prayer
He listens to hear every word.
So I wouldn’t think about starting the day
Without asking Jesus to show me the way
Unchained and unfettered. I feel so much better
When I start each day with the Lord.
Chorus
I start each day with the Lord
Why should I face life alone anymore?
Today if I’m tested and tried,
I’ve got the Lord at my side.
I talk to Him at the start of each day
For He knows each trouble that’s coming my way.
With Jesus I’m ready what ever’s in store.
I start each day with the Lord.
Ol’ Daniel prayed three times a day
He knew the power in prayer.
He prayed until when in the old lion’s den
He knew that God was right there.
Now we get caught up in the worry and fuss.
But God hasn’t changed how He listens to us.
So since He’s redeemed me, it’s worth it believe me.
I start each day with the Lord.
Chorus
I talk to Him at the start of each day.
For He knows each trouble that’s coming my way
With Jesus I’m ready what ever’s in store.
I start each day with the Lord.
With Jesus I’m ready what ever’s in store.
Like a baby reaches out for it’s mother’s embrace
Like a flower blooms in spring
To feel the sun upon it’s face.
Like a sailor needs a compass to get back home again.
That’s how much I need the Lord.
That’s how I rely on Him
Chorus
I rely on Him every hour, every day
I rely on Him every mile along the way
In all the year’s I’ve known the Lord
And all the places that I’ve been.
I got all I ever needed when I relied on Him
There were times of disappointment
When He gave me sweet relief.
There were days my steps grew weary
And I know He carried me.
And when my worries seem so heavy.
I can’t carry anymore.
I can feel the load get lighter
When I rely upon the Lord.
Chorus
In all the years I’ve known the Lord
And all the places that I’ve been
I got all I ever needed
When I relied on Him
I Love To Tell The Story
I love to tell the story
Twill be my theme in Glory
To tell the old, old story
Verse 1
You've always been there for everyone else.
You've always been brave and strong.
But lately I've noticed that your smile has faded,
And I can tell something is wrong.
I've heard the prayers of those who love you.
I haven't forgotten your pain.
So if you've been searching for someone to talk to,
I promise that I can relate.
Chorus
Cause I've been broken, I've been betrayed.
I've been rejected, I've felt afraid.
I've cried out to God, "I don't know where you are."
I know the pain you're going through.
And I can more than promise you,
I'll do what it takes to mend your broken heart.
I've been right there where you are.
I know all about scars.
Verse 2
Life can be filled with love and laughter.
It's beauty surrounds us each day.
I used to stand and stare at the sunset.
And I used to watch children play.
But I've known the pain of losing a close friend,
I've heard angry words from my foes.
And still I remember that cross on a hillside.
So take it from someone who knows.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
And everything you're feeling now, I've been feeling too.
And I'm the first one to know, now that I'm a part of you.
Everywhere I go,
These tears begin to flow,
When will they ever disappear?
Not for many years.
And I can’t stand it anymore.
Far away from reach,
I learn that my patience can’t be weak,
Ahead in better times I see,
But now there’s nothing left for me.
And I can’t stand it anymore.
And I can’t stand it anymore.
The last page I read,
Surprises me,
Never thought that it would end,
This way.
I Can’t Even Slow Down
Mark Bishop / Kenny Bishop

How can a man be homesick for a place he’s never been?
Sometimes I don’t know if I can wait until He says, “Come on in.”
This shell that God has given me will lose it’s strength and wither away.
But I’ve decided I’ll return this soul to Jesus Christ someday
Chorus
Cause I can’t find a stopping place, seen nowhere I can even slow down.
I’m determined I will run the race, when I think of where I’m bound.
I can’t even slow down.
I pray that my life would be a light that won't grow dim
Cause I feel a sense of urgency for the one's that don't know him.
Jesus has prepared a place for me when life is o’er
But I can’t figure for the life of me what some folks are living for
Chorus 2x
I can't believe the words you say to me are true,
Are they true?
I know that times have been real hard what can I do?
What can I do?
To be higher now, higher now,
Higher now, higher now,
Higher now, higher now,
Higher now, high.
Everyone I know has left, everyone has gone,
Everyone has gone,
So move me up, take me nearer to the sun,
To the sun.
To be higher now, higher now,
Higher now, higher now,
Higher now, higher now,
Higher now, high.
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Higher now,
Higher now,
Well you don’t believe there’s a God in Heaven
With the Good News to impart.
You’ve already decided
So you never invited Jesus into your heart.
Would you change your story
If you knew that Glory was waiting on the other side?
Will you make it into Heaven or will you get left behind?
Well I guess it all depends on when you change your mind.
Chorus
When you change your mind you’re going to find the love of God
And sing about amazing grace.
Or you can wait a little while and become a believer
When you meet Him face to face.
Will you make it into Heaven or will you get left behind?
Well I guess it all depends on when you change your mind.
If the world believes it’s a fairy tale
They heard about in Sunday School
And they think that maybe we’re a little crazy
Living by the Golden Rule
But when they hear the trumpet on the day of judgment
They’ll see it in a different light.
Will they make it into Heaven or will they get left behind?
Well I guess it all depends on when they change their minds.
Chorus
Will you make it into Heaven or will you get left behind?”
