A gospel is an account, often written, that describes the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The most widely-known examples of gospel are the four canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. However, the term is also used to refer to the apocryphal gospels, the non-canonical gospels, the Jewish gospels and the gnostic gospels. Christians may additionally use the term "gospel" in reference to the general message of the biblical New Testament, otherwise known as the "good news".
World religions differ in their treatment of documents classified as gospels. Christianity traditionally places a high value on the four canonical gospels, which it considers to be a revelation from God and central to its belief system. Christians teach that the four canonical gospels are an “accurate and authoritative” representation of the life of Jesus.
In Islam the Injil (Arabic: إنجيل ʾInǧīl) is the Arabic name for the original gospel of Jesus, and one of the four Islamic holy books the Qur'an records as revealed by God. Islam holds that over time it became corrupt and God sent the prophet Muhammad to reveal the last book, according to the Islamic faith.

Anytime we're feeling down,
The Devil tempts our mind.
But If we read Gods words,
We will leave him behind.
If we call out for help,
We'll never have to wait.
The words in the bible,
Will bring us some faith.
When God speaks to us,
We hear him with our heart.
Anytime that we are happy,
That's where the feelings start.
Be aware of things you feel,
And listen to what you hear.
When the lord has a message,
You will receive it clear.
He watches what you do,
He hears all that you say.
So if you're needing help,
Let the Lord guide your way.
When God speaks to us,
We hear him with our heart.
Anytime that we are happy,
That's where the feelings start
If anything were wrong, it wouldn't take long
Anyone that is weak, would end up being strong
We would walk hand in hand, and love our fellow man
As He meant it to be.
Chorus:
If I had a few wishes, I see things done right
I'd end all the darkness, and bring eternal light
I'd see His love shared, and everyone would care
As He meant it to be.
Every child'll have a smile, and be living in style
Love would touch every soul, it would always show
Sickness and misery, are things that wouldn't be
And love is all that we'd see
Repeat Chorus:
The sun would always shine, we'd leave tears behind
We'd love all our neighbors, and we'd all be real kind
We'd all have someone, we'd all get to laugh
As He meant it to be
Repeat Chorus:
They preach do as I say,
But live a different way.
They see us all as fools,
And lies are their tools.
But when they face the man,
I don't think he'll understand.
'Cause he witnessed their lies,
And he heard their alibis.
Chorus:
Remember God is watching it,
And he recalls the hypocrite.
It is something you will admit,
When you're judged in the end.
I've seen them everywhere I go,
And they're someone many know.
'Cause in the things they do,
Not every word rings true.
I'm glad I'm a simple man,
Who didn't pull any scams.
'Cause on my judgement day,
God will believe what I say.
Chorus:
Remember God is watching it,
And he recalls the hypocrite.
It is something you will admit,
When you're judged in the end.
I've been lone-ly and have felt many doubts.
After some of my friends let me down.
I know how it feels when all hope is gone.
And you don't feel that you can go on.
I think in life there's things we must learn.
And our heartaches show us where to turn.
How'd we know when we've won the game,
If we didn't have hurtin, and pain.
I think the reason we all have our knees,
Is so we can pray at times like these,
I think God is watchin' us from above.
At the times that we're needin' love,
I'm glad to say that my bad times are gone,
That lovin' God helps me carry on.
I've had my tears, and conquered my fears,
I'm got a good life, my mind is clear.
I think the reason we all have our knees,
Is so we can pray at times like these,
I think God is watchin' us from above.
At the times that we're needin' love,
V1
Are your crosses too heavy to carry;
And burdens too heavy to bear?
Are there heartaches and tears and anguish;
And there's no one who seems to care?
Chorus
Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus,
He's the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him
And you'll know Him by the nail prints in His hands.
V2
Are there shadows of deep disappointment,
And trusts that have proven untrue?
Has the darkness of night settled round you
Has your hope and your faith wavered too?
Chorus
Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus,
He's the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him
And you'll know Him by the nail prints in His hands.
V3
Has the storm over shadowed your sunshine,
And life lost attraction for you?
Have the dreams that you cherished been broken,
Is you soul filled with bitterness too?
Chorus
Standing somewhere in the shadows you'll find Jesus,
He's the Friend who always cares and understands.
Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find Him
And you'll know Him by the nail prints in His hands.
Walking through the corridors, wandering back in time,
I found some memories that helped to ease my mind.
Buried deep in a dark corner where I tripped and fell,
I found your pictures and they rescued me from hell.
You were my first love, I was happy as I could be.
In my memory you're still pretty as you come to me.
I was feelin' down 'til your memories came around,
Thank God for memories and what he lets me see.
I never liked girls, 'til the day you changed my world.
When I was just seven I fell in love with my first girl.
I held your hand as we would tenderly share a kiss.
Looking at your picture brings back so much I miss.
You were my first love, I was happy as I could be.
In my memory you're still pretty as you come to me.
I was feelin' down 'til your memories came around,
Thank God for memories and what he lets me see.
In my memory you're still pretty as you come to me.
Thank God for memories and what he lets me see.
God's angels will be singing,
When his final bell is ringing.
The thunder will fill the skies,
There'll be tears in many eyes.
God's warnings had gone out,
His words had left no doubt.
The Bible said what he'd do,
And his word is always true.
Chorus:
Trials and tribulations,
Is what the Bible said.
But some of the people,
Couldn't get it in their head.
The end that they'll face,
Is one that I won't see.
Because I paid attention,
To what his words said to me.
As the fire falls from above,
They will cry for God's love.
Many tears will be cried,
From the lost and terrified.
There's not a thing God can do,
Even if he wanted to.
He warned the end would come,
Before the deed was done.
Chorus:
Trials and tribulations,
Is what the Bible said.
But some of the people,
Couldn't get it in their head.
The end that they'll face,
Is one that I won't see.
Because I paid attention,
To what his words said to me.
I like to smile when times get bad,
About the things that made me glad.
I like to laugh if I'm feeling down,
At a good memory that comes around.
I know today's all come and go,
I'll travel many different roads.
But my faith is always strong,
And It will help me get along.
I see tomorrow as a better day,
When all today's has gone away.
I believe many words in a song,
That there's a right and wrong.
As long as I shall breathe,
I'll have faith I'll believe.
Until my time has gone,
and my soul moves on.
I believe that tomorrow will come,
That God's will, will soon be done.
I have faith that dreams come true.
There is a heaven for me and you.
As long as I shall breathe,
I'll have faith I'll believe.
Until my time has gone,
and my soul moves on.
Vers. 1
And no graves gonna be able to hold this holy ghost body down now people they talk about you and i know its a fearful thing but if you got this holy ghost spirit that i'm talking about then no graves gonna be able to hold your holy ghost body down
Chors.
And no graves gonna be able to hold this holy ghost body down when he blows that trumpit i'll ride up from the ground coming up victorest over death,hell and the grave and no graves gonna be able to hold this holy ghost body down
Vers 2
When jesus laid in the tumb for 3 days and nights soilders stood there gaurding both day and night but when the angel rolled that old stone away they found no grave was able to hold his holy ghost body down
Repeat Chors. 2X
I use to pray to the Lord.
And I was a pitiful soul.
I'd thought only of me,
The things I could hold.
I heard a voice say be thankful,
'Cause greed will have a cost.
I started seeing all that I had,
And the things I hadn't lost.
I've got eyes, that allows me to see.
Ears that hears things being said.
Legs to carry me where I want to go,
And I've got a good mind in my head.
With my hands I can feel and touch.
So when I count all my blessings
I'm not missing much.
I heard a voice say be thankful,
'Cause greed will have a cost.
I started seeing all that I had,
And the things I hadn't lost.
I've got eyes, that allows me to see.
Ears that hears things being said.
Legs to carry me where I want to go,
And I've got a good mind in my head.
With my hands I can feel and touch.
So when I count all my blessings
I'm not missing much.
Now when I pray to the Lord,
I thank him for everything I have.
'Cause when I count blessings
I'm not missing much.
When I count my blessings
I'm not missing much.
There's a lot of demons that I have to fight;
And everything I try never seems to be right.
If it wasn't for alcohol I'm sure I'd die,
As long as it's made I'll keep gettin' by.
The world I travel in is one that's mean.
I chase the bottle that breaks my dreams.
I didn't run away and addiction took hold,
So now I take each heartache as it unfolds.
I let the Devil get ahold of my soul,
And no one wants me anywhere I'll go.
People avoid me like I am the plague,
But I still pray my soul will be saved.
If I had been strong and asked for help,
I wouldn't be fightin' the devil myself.
If you see me, and I'm lyin' in the street,
You'll be seein' a man who accepted defeat.
The world I travel in is rough and mean.
I chase the bottle that breaks my dreams.
I didn't run away and addiction took hold,
So now I take each heartache as it unfolds.
He stum-bled up the hill
With a cross up-on his back
Leav-ing sweat and blood
Be-hind him in his tracks.
The pain-ful crowns of thorns
That he had sub-stained
Add-ed tor-ture to his liv-ing
Til his death fin-al-ly came.
What a cross he had to bare to save hu-man-i-ty
Oh how he suf-fered to give faith to you and me
Spikes rip-ping at the flesh as he dang-led there
Oh what a cross he had to bare.
They thought his fi-nal breath
would be the death of him.
But he rose once more to prove to all
That dy-in's not the end.
What a cross he had to bare to save hu-man-i-ty
Oh how he suf-fered to give faith to you and me
Spikes tore in-to hands and feet as he hung there
Oh what a cross he had to bare.
Everything is spinnin', I've lost all control.
The Devil's smilin', he's waitin' for my soul.
I got involved with drugs, and lost my friends.
I traded them for an addiction that never ends.
Temptation got me 'cause I wasn't strong.
Someone dared me, and then I chose wrong.
I'm always lyin', I'm ashamed of what I do.
And I pray no one has to walk in my shoes.
Started takin' drugs, and thought I was hot.
Now my brain's dead, my eyes are bloodshot.
Everything's hazy, can't believe what I see.
Lord, please help me, have some mercy on me.
The snake led Eve to an apple on the tree.
She was then tempted as drugs tempted me.
Once you get the habit, you have it for life.
All you get are heartaches by not doin' right.
Started takin' drugs, and thought I was hot.
Now my brain's dead, my eyes are bloodshot.
Everything's hazy, can't believe what I see.
Lord, please help me, have some mercy on me.
God know that we stray,
But forgives us anyway.
If we show we're sincere,
He will us show he cares.
Get down on your knees,
And always say 'please".
Show God some respect,
When you have a need.
Whenever you're lonely,
Or you are hurting inside.
Call out to the Lord,
And he will hear your cry.
The Lord will be forgiving,
When he hears your pleas.
And he is comforting,
To all those that grieves.
Whenever you're lonely,
Or you are hurting inside.
Call out to the Lord,
And he will hear your cry.
My life finally reached a point,
Where changes needed to be made.
So I dropped down to my knees,
And I asked God for his aid.
I had money, until it all got spent,
I mistreated love until it moved on.
I've lost the good things in my life,
And I'm the reason they're all gone.
Changes will be coming since I found faith,
Love chased away all my prejudice and hate.
I have found God that's in his heaven above,
He's changed my outlook on living and love.
There's no love once you douse the flames.
All money buys is cold non-feeling things.
I saw the light, I am on the right road,
My faith is helping me to carry my load.
Changes will be coming since I found faith,
Love chased away all my prejudice and hate.
I have found God that's in his heaven above,
He's changed my outlook on living and love.
Changes will be coming since I found faith,
Love's chased away my prejudice and hate.
Verse 1
I keep watching for the dawning of tomorrow, when we'll meet the blessed Savior in the sky, and all the troubles of today will soon be over thats when God will wipe all the teardrops from our eyes.
CHORUS
We're here today, we'll be gone tomorrow, and this life won't even be a memory. We're here today, we'll be gone tomorrow, where we'll praise the Lord through out eternity.

Vers 1
Well he walks from cloud to cloud, His finger prints are on the sun, those big stars that hang on nothing just more miracles He's done. His breath becomes the wind, the sea in the palm of His majesty, tell me who but god can do such things as He.
Rpeat Chors.

I know your life On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren'? t afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the father and son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the father and son
Instrumentation
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done

Love for the father and son
I trust they are the same.
It you make a bad decision,
It will land you in prison.
You can't kill, cheat or lie,
When none of it's justified.
The Bible tells us what's a sin,
All the actions we can't defend.
The Lord had it all laid out,
There's no room for any doubt.
Chorus:
If we obey the golden rules,
We'll hear the angels sing.
We won't be a Devils fool,
Who has gave up everything.
Heaven will be our reward,
We will walk with the Lord.
In life there's no short cuts,
Everyday will have deep ruts.
But when we believe in him,
A cups is filled to the brim.
Many things we'd like to see,
May never come to be.
But ahead are better days,
When heaven comes our way.
Chorus:
If we obey the golden rules,
We'll hear the angels sing.
We won't be a Devils fool,
Who has gave up everything.
Heaven will be our reward,
We will walk with the Lord.
The world had pulled me down,
Until it left me with only shame.
But he came and he made me whole,
When I prayed and said his name.
When I called his name, he heard me,
He came to me and he brought me joy.
I had felt him touch my soul,
When he was near he let me know,
When I prayed he made me whole.
Oh since I've found my blessed Lord,
And he's forgiven and saved my soul.
Oh I say his praise wherever I may go,
I had felt his love he made me whole.
Oh he made me whole, he made me whole,
And it was him, that saved my soul,
When he was near he let me know.
Wake me up
Take my soul in the name of the lord
'cause I still fight the feeling and I...
I take a ride that is in my brain and
I fly in my mind on it everyday
Take a ride that is in your brain and
You find in your mind you've got
Everything you could want
Sister said
She's got everything she could want and so much more
But I just don't believe her
And I
I take a ride that is my in brain and
I fly in my mind on it everyday
Take a ride that is in your brain and
You find in your mind you've got
I know it's selfish
But I wanted to say
If I nail myself up every day
Or drop down to my knees
And drive pins through my feet every day
Will I rise again too
I need to feel enlightened
I need to
Everything works out for everyone but me
Everything works out for everyone but me
My brain doesn't feel the same as it did
Four years ago
Yeah, it doesn't exist
There's just no method anymore
Just madness and a meter
That's keeping track as my time decreases
Decreases
No matter where you run
You'll always find your head
No matter where you wake up
You still made your own bed
Everything works out for everyone but me
Everything works out for everyone but me
So take what you did
Take what you did
Make sense of it
Try to make sense of it
I just threw my life against the wall
So take what you did
Hoping somewhere I'll fit
Make sense of it
Try to make sense of it
I just threw my life against the wall
Against the wall
Everything works out for everyone but
For everyone but me
Everything works out for everyone but me
Everything works out, works out
Well, I saw her one fair evening it was early summer
Time
Man and nature were in blossom, I was really feeling
Fine
I asked if she would kiss me though I'm usually rather
But she Looked right into my face and said KMA goodbye
Long ago I had a girl friend she was pretty, she was
Cute
On a lonely winter evening I was in a crazy mood
I said: Won't you become my wife
And hoped that she would not deny
She just laughed her head off screaming KMA goodbye
I wonder if I'm born to lose
I wonder if I always get the sack
Don't give in, don't give up
Always bad luck
Why do I always fall on bad times!?
Don't give in, don't give up
Always bad luck
Why do I always fall on bad times?
Once I made a lovely journey but there was a traffic
Next to me a pretty girl, sitting in a caravan
While I showed her all my love I overlooked that big
Tall guy
Who came over and he kicked me, he said KMA goodbye
Oh lord, mercy me
Show a little sympathy
Don't let me die in agony
Don't leave me high and dry
Oh ford, mercy me
Show a little sympathy
Take me to the promised land
How Long do I have to sing this song!?
Once I had a decent supper in a lovely restaurant
When I caught a certain glimpse, that I understood
Quite wrong
And she took her chips with ketchup, flung them into my
Left eye
In my right eye was her fist which means KMA goodbye
Colors collide and the fever I'm fighting,
With my own cornerstone,
Found out I fled,
Just lost, not dead,
Sickness surrounding,
And a cynical resounding,
Tempted by his own end,
Closed eyes and dread,
To death, I'm heading,
Colors collide and the fever I'm fighting,
With my own cornerstone,
Found out, I fled,
Just lost, not dead,
Sickness surrounding,
And a cynical resounding,
Tempted by his own end,
Closed eyes and dread,
To death, I'm heading,
Holding a knife, they said to you to get out the way,
I saw the sickness, but I won't let them get away,
So, stay down,
Hits that don't ever??
They fall in your favor,
Though I'm locked up in a cage now,
You seek protection and I watch you in there,
Stay down or you'll meet your maker,
All trials are gonna take her,
Oh, you call yourself a holy man,
You won't be rejoicing with a curse in your hands,
So I stay far down and I get it out,
They're going to get you,
Colors collide and the fever I'm fighting,
With my own cornerstone,
Found out I fled,
Just lost, not dead,
Sickness surrounding,
And a cynical resounding,
And I heard that you don't wanna go,
Closed eyes and dread,
To death, I'm heading,
Holding a knife, they said to you to get out the way,
I saw the sickness, but I won't let them get away,
So, stay down,
Hits that don't ever??
All trials are gonna take her,
You call yourself a holy man,
You won't be rejoicing with a curse in your hands,
Stay down or you'll meet your maker,
All trials are gonna take her,
Though I'm locked up in a cage now,
You seek protection and I watch you in there,
So I stay far down and I fought around,
They're going to get you,
I call to the truth,
No, I ain't coming back here no more,
I let you down as I let you go,
I saw to the truth,
No, I ain't coming back here no more,
I let you down as I left the shore,
I call to the truth,
No, I ain't coming back here no more,
I let you down as I left the shore,
I saw to the truth,
No, I ain't coming back here no more,
I let you down as I let you go now,
Stay down,
Hits that don't ever??
All fall in your favor,
Though I'm locked up in a cage now,
You seek protection and I watch you in there,
Stay down or you'll meet your maker,
All trials are gonna taper,
You call yourself a holy man,
You won't be rejoicing with a curse in your hands,
Stay down,
Hits that don't ever??
All trials are gonna taper,
Though I'm locked up in a cage now,
You seek protection and I watch you in there,
Stay down,
Hits that don't ever??
All trials are gonna taper,
Though I'm locked up in a cage now,
You seek protection and I watch you in there,
So I stay far down and I'll get around.
Liv-in' in the ghet-to wasn-n't much fun;
Not ma-ny trees, and no-where to run.
I nev-er knew my dad-dy,
And he nev-er knew me.
Liv-in' in a world of knives and guns,
It's hard to know when to trust some-one.
And when your mom-ma's up fly-ing high,
All you can do is pray she does-n't die.
If God had-n't stay-ed and stood by me
On-ly the dev-il would know where I'd be.
My life would be no-thing but a great big mess
If it was-n't for God and if I hadn't been bless-ed.
My life was rough, but I pull-ed through.
I lived a life, you wouldn't want for you,
I said my pray-ers,and made some plans.
I wash-ed dir-ty dish-es, and scrubb-ed some pans.
If God had-n't stay-ed and stood by me,
On-ly the dev-il would know where I'd be.
My life would be no-thing, but a great big mess
If it was-n't for God and if I hadn't been bless-ed.
I am chasing after dreams,
With a gift God gave to me.
He allows me to write words,
That I have in memories.
He put them in my mind,
For me to recall.
He sends the prettiest words,
That I ever saw.
Chorus:
I know it's God's gift,
And I thank him for it.
Without my memories,
There's so much I'd forget.
The words flow out to me,
And come so easily.
I don't know what I've done,
To write the words I see.
I didn't know of God's gift,
Until a girl led me there.
Now everyone finds words,
Written everywhere.
Chorus:
I know it's God's gift,
And I thank him for it.
Without my memories,
There's so much I'd forget.
If ever I should fall,
God hears my call.
At times that I'm weak,
He hears what I speak.
At one time I drifted away,
But all I had was bad days.
I became addicted to sin,
'Til I found his love again.
God's my heavenly father,
And he is my best friend.
He sends me his comfort,
With God I always win.
In times of great needs,
Just grab a bible to read.
Say a prayer to the man,
And he'll hold your hand.
He's never rejected my pleas,
I feel he's watching over me.
When I kneel down to pray,
I know he'll hear what I say.
God's my heavenly father,
And he is my best friend.
He sends me his comfort,
With God I always win.
I'd looked down the road,
That I had traveled on.
I saw no hope in sight,
All my dreams were gone.
I'd found myself alone,
And had nowhere to go.
I was fighting for my life,
The Devil owned my soul.
Chorus:
I told lies to my friends,
And let my family down.
All I did was hurt them,
Until the day I found him.
When the Lord came to me
He put a voice in my head.
It said, "son come to me",
Before you end up dead.
He had opened up his skies,
And his love flowed to me.
When I felt the Lord's touch,
I saw how things should be.
Chorus:
I told lies to my friends,
And let my family down.
All I did was hurt them,
Until the day I found him.
I was at the bottom of a pit,
And couldn't crawl out of it.
There was no love in the air.
And I didn't like it there.
There was no one else around,
I didn't like what I found.
I tried climbing out but fell,
And figured this must be hell.
I awoke, and I was sitting up in bed
With all I imagined still in my head.
I looked around and found joy
Seeing my wife and little boy.
The dream showed me all I had,
And made me thankful and glad.
If I had counted my blessings,
I wouldn't now be confessing.
The dream helped me to see
All that God had given me.
Sometimes when we need help,
And we're blinded ourselves.
That's when God will intervene,
Showing us what we hadn't seen.
I looked around and found joy
Seeing my wife and little boy.
The dream showed me all I had,
And made me thankful and glad.
My life has been a hard one,
I have cried so many times.
But when I hear a small voice,
It straightens out my mind.
The voice says, "don't despair,"
Don't you ever give up on life.
Just have faith along the way,
And things will turn out right.
Chorus:
God's why I strive to survive,
And will as long as I'm alive.
No problems pulls me down,
When he speaks to me inside.
At times I'm having doubts,
Or it seems my hope is gone.
A little voice speaks to me,
And I have faith to go on.
At a time I might lose a friend,
I will pray for their soul.
I know the Lord's listening,
He shows them where to go.
Chorus:
God's why I strive to survive,
And will as long as I'm alive.
No problems pulls me down,
When he speaks to me inside.
For those who achieve,
And receive some fame.
They're richly rewarded,
They get a famous name.
But do they respect,
The one's honoring them.
Are they thankful to God?
Their gift came from him.
Chorus:
They could spend their money,
And help those with needs.
They could show they're thankful,
For all they've received.
But there are so many,
Who satisfies whims,
And they soon forget,
Their gift came from him.
Their fans worship them,
And do the things they do.
So that makes them responsible,
For where the fans are led to.
On their judgement day,
Will they like what they see?
Or will they feel ashamed,
They have caused misery.
Chorus:
They could spend their money,
And help those with needs.
They could show they're thankful,
For all they've received.
But there are so many,
Who satisfies whims,
And they soon forget,
Their gift came from him.
If God hadn't smiled on me,
I could be living pitifully.
I might be committing crime,
Or locked up and doing time.
I might be a beggar on the street,
Shoved away by those I meet.
Mine could be a dreamless life,
I could be a lot I wouldn't like.
Chorus:
God blesses me everyday,
By the love he sends to me.
He's put friends in my life,
And I have a loving family.
I had parents who gave me love,
When I was delivered from above.
Many people have loved me,
I count blessings I can see.
I have friends that really care,
In my heart is love to share.
My life has been a good one,
I'm not ashamed of what I done.
Chorus:
God blesses me everyday,
By the love he sends to me.
He's put friends in my life,
And I have a loving family.
In this world it must be believed
That God's love can be received.
And if your dreams come true,
It's because he's loving you.
Most children learn to cope.
Believe in dreams and hope.
They see wishes coming true.
More so than me and you.
In this world there are those that do,
With others that are passing through.
But when you learn to believe,
Your dreams start coming true.
It's when we make amends,
That our real life begins.
When you learn to believe,
You won't lie and deceive.
In this world there are those that do,
With others that are passing through.
But when you learn to believe,
Your dreams start coming true.
If it wasn't for God,
There'd be no you and me.
The world wouldn't be here,
No one would have a destiny.
No stream would ever flow,
And the sun wouldn't shine.
The flowers wouldn't grow,
There'd be nothing to find.
Love, as we know it, Just might not exist,
If not for God, So much would be missed.
If it wasn't for God,
There'd be nothing to see.
No child would ever smile,
His love would be no mystery
No stream would ever flow,
And the sun wouldn't shine.
The flowers wouldn't grow,
There'd be nothing to find.
Love, as we know it, Just might not exist,
If not for God, So much would be missed.
He only gave us ten,
For us to obey.
But if we follow them,
We'll have better days.
They're called golden rules,
And he wrote them in stone.
He said if they're obeyed,
He'll walk us back home.
Chorus:
The Bible speaks his words,
That were written and heard.
If we follow his rules,
We'll be nobody's fool.
We can climb heaven's stairs,
Where love is everywhere.
We'll walk his golden streets,
When our life is complete.
If we follow his rules,
He'll help us pull through.
He will walk beside us,
In all that we do.
He's not asking much,
In the things that he ask.
None of them are hard,
They're all simple task.
Chorus:
The Bible speaks his words,
That were written and heard.
If we follow his rules,
We'll be nobody's fool.
We can climb heaven's stairs,
Where love is everywhere.
We'll walk his golden streets,
When our life is complete.
We can climb heaven's stairs,
Where love is everywhere.
We'll walk his golden streets,
When our life is complete.
God placed no value,
On the love he gave.
Sacrificed his son,
So we could be saved.
It doesn't cost a cent,
To give someone a smile.
But it can mean so much.
If it lingers for awhile.
Should we give less than God,
When we show our love.
Is he pleased with all he sees,
Does he think we lovein' enough.
It's only cost some time,
To give peace of mind.
When you lend a hand,
And help when you can.
Jesus suffered his pain,
And freed us of blame.
His blood was the price,
He was man's sacrifice.
Should we give less than God,
When we show our love.
Is he pleased with all he sees,
Does he think we lovein' enough.
Vers 1
I decided to leave home and family and to leave all the love i known behind all in search with a dream within my mind it didnt matter when i left whose heart was broken i didnt care how many tears they cried i wondered in the new world just to see the wilder side of life
Chors.
Shattered dreams shattered dreams all my life without you lord is shattered dreams
Vers 2
Here at home now i need my fathes mercy oh lord i have seen and i know i have brough descrace but i imagine for forgivness oh am i worthy god will be glad just to see the look upon yous face
Repeat chors 3X
When I say it's you,
You will point at me.
So who is to blame,
That's the mystery.
Since Adam and Eve,
Blamed it on the snake.
Man's pointed fingers,
Who's word do you take.
Chorus:
The Good book says it clear,
But its words we don't hear.
It seems that we never learn,
Until it's our turn to burn.
God says that a lie is a sin,
And each one is saw by him.
The Good book says it clear,
We pay for what God hears.
When a lie has been told,
Its damage has been done.
Ohh will God understand,
When it comes your turn.
On your judgement day,
You'll see what you done.
Will you cry or fly away,
When his decision comes.
Chorus:
The Good book says it clear,
But its words we don't hear.
It seems that we never learn,
Until it's our turn to burn.
God says that a lie is a sin,
And each one is saw by him.
The Good book says it clear,
We pay for what God hears.
Because of the things I saw,
I woke up from a bad dream,
There were tears in my eyes,
A neighbor heard my scream.
I'd climbed the stairs to heaven,
I was in front of the golden gates.
When they couldn't find my name,
I knew what would be my fate.
Chorus:
The Lord looked down at me,
Then he said so lovingly.
I'd like to help you my son,
And erase all you have done.
But on the day you had died,
You still had foolish pride.
When I'm not asked to forgive,
I can't forgive how you lived.
A big hole then opened up,
And I saw a lot of flames.
There was none of the beauty,
From the way I just came.
All I saw was pitiful souls,
Every one was in misery.
That is when I woke up,
Did God send the dream to me?
Chorus:
The Lord looked down at me,
Then he said so lovingly.
I'd like to help you my son,
And erase all you have done.
But on the day you had died,
You still had foolish pride.
When I'm not asked to forgive,
I can't forgive how you lived.
When I'm not asked to forgive,
I can't forgive how you lived.
If the road is empty and you walk alone,
And there's no love in an unhappy home.
Should you grow weary of fighting it all,
Reach out to the Lord he will hear your call.
He hears every prayer that's faithful and true,
He will walk by our side in all that we do.
At the time we lose faith he'll pull us through,
Reach out to the Lord he's waiting for you.
Chorus:
Reach out to the Lord
Show him your faith,
Whenever he's needed,
You won't have to wait.
If your life is filled with sorrow and full of fears,
You have a lot of worries and there's no one to care.
If you are tired and beaten and you've lost your way,
Reach out to the Lord and talk to him today.
Chorus:
Reach out to the Lord
Show him your faith,
Whenever he's needed,
You won't have to wait.
Chors.
Well i'm running for my life i'm running for my life i'm running for my life
Vers. 1

Repeat Chors.
Vers 2
Have you been saved, sanctified?...have you been to the waters? have you been baptized?....have you got jesus on the inside then start running for your life
Repeat chors
Repeat Vers 1
Repeat chors 2X
It can cross any mountain,
And it doesn't need any trail.
It's stong and it's tough.
That's why the Devil's in hell.
There's nothing it can't do,
And no place it can't reach.
Faith is something you feel,
And not something you teach.
Faith is not something
That you go out and buy.
But you'll sure want it
When it's time to die.
God created faith,
And will send it to you.
When you let him know
Your feelings are true.
There's nothing it can't do,
And no place it can't reach.
Faith is something you feel,
And not something you teach.
In a world that is sad, There's so much to be had.
There's love all around, just waiting to be found.
God gives us a choice, Our hearing and our voice.
He has love for you and me that we can feel and see.
If I were a poet, I'd dazzle you with words,
If I could be a singer, You'd like what was heard.
If I had to fight, I'd fight for your love,
And when I would win, God will smile up above.
There are things that I am, but I am still a man.
I am coming after you, I want a love that's true.
I have made up my mind, That I want you for mine.
God will Smile up above, When I win your love.
If I were a poet, I'd dazzle you with words,
If I could be a singer, You'd like what was heard.
If I had to fight, I'd fight for your love,
And when I would win, God will smile up above.

So many nights I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song.
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now you've come along.
And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.
Rollin' at sea adrift on the waters
Could it be finally I'm turning for home
Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I Love You"
Never again to be all alone.
And you light up my life,
You give me hope, to carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song.
You, You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong, when it feels so right
'Cause you, you light up my life.
When we have nowhere to turn,
It will help someone concerned.
It's strength that comes along,
To let us know we're not alone.
David's faith put down a giant,
And it helped him be defiant.
He had faith in what he'd do,
And his aim was guided true.
Chorus:
Our faith helps guide us right,
And it lights the darkest night.
Our faith will give us strength,
In any battle we must fight.
Moses faith would part the sea,
When others said it couldn't be.
And its miracles has been seen,
Faith can help us see our dreams.
So if life gets you down,
Take time to look around.
If you will say a little prayer,
You might find faith is there.
Chorus:
Our faith helps guide us right,
And it lights the darkest night.
Our faith will give us strength,
In any battle we must fight.
Living your life,
Is fulfilling God's will.
He's there to help you,
To climb every hill.
He's always watching,
To see what you do.
When you need help,
He'll walk along with you.
Chorus:
Spread out your wings,
Forget other things.
Enjoy living life,
And all that it brings.
You can't climb a mountain,
Until you first try.
And you won't get to heaven,
Until the day that you die.
God gave you love,
So it could be shared.
When you get to heaven,
He'll be waiting there.
Chorus:
Spread out your wings,
Forget other things.
Enjoy living life,
And all that it brings.
Traditional
(Chorus)
I'm working on a building, I'm working on a building,
I'm working on a building for my Lord, for my Lord!
It's a Holy Ghost building, it's the Holy Ghost building,
It's a Holy Ghost building, for my Lord, for my Lord!
(Chorus)
If I was a preaching man, I tell you what I'd do:
I'd preach the truth throughout the land
and work on a building, too.
If I was a carpenter I tell you what I'd do:
I'd work all day and work all night
just to work on the building, too.
(Chorus)
If I was a ramblin' man, I tell you what I'd do:
I'd stop my rambling, stop my gambling,
and work on a building, too.
If I was gambling man, I tell you what I'd do:
I'd throw away the Queen of Spades
and work on a building, too.
(Chorus)
If I was a sinner man, I tell you what I'd do:
I'd stop my sinning, start my praying,
and work on a building, too.

(Chorus)
Through Gods Eyes
We are all the same.
Because from him,
Is where we all came.
No one will be better,
Than the next in line.
The Lords hates to see,
Discriminating minds.
Chorus:
God doesn't see color,
When he looks at a man.
He won't ask your race,
Before he lends a hand.
Through God's eyes,
We all look the same.
He can see our hurts,
And he feels our pain.
God created men,
In the image of him.
And it's because of love,
We are born from above.
Someday there'll be no hate,
When Jesus comes again.
Love will fill our minds,
And men will love all men.
Chorus:
God doesn't see color,
When he looks at a man.
He won't ask your race,
Before he lends a hand.
Through God's eyes,
We all look the same.
He can see our hurts,
And he feels our pain.
I'd like to know when we will learn,
That sharin' love never hurt no one.
many never get to see it's outcome.
Because sharin' love is never done.
So many problems would disappear.
If we help instead of passin' by.
Sacrifices come from sharin' love,
As lovin' us caused Christ to die.
Sharin' love has never hurt no one.
And It's such an easy thing to do.
Sharin' love has never hurt no one.
Love is God's greatest gift to you.
Compassion, helpin', and showin' care.
Always saves a soul of one who shares.
Sharin' love has never hurt no one.
And It's such an easy thing to do.
Sharin' love has never hurt no one.
Love is God's greatest gift to you.
In our lives we'll come to know pain,
Feel our hurt and to live with shame.
But these things will help us grow,
These are things we're meant to know.
In a perfect world, we'd live our dreams,
We could go fishing and swim in streams.
All over the world would just be smiles,
And God would have no need for files.
Chorus:
The sun would shine, we'd tell no lies,
There would be no reasons for alibis.
In a perfect world a boy get his girl,
No one is hungry, and no one cries.
The Lord would talk with everyone,
Living life would be nothing but fun.
No one would hurt, no one would die,
We'd all get our wings so we could fly.
We'd have a world that's full of love,
We would live like heaven above.
Every road would be paved of gold,
There would be no lonely souls.
Chorus:
The sun would shine, we'd tell no lies,
There would be no reasons for alibis.
In a perfect world a boy get his girl,
No one is hungry, and no one cries.
God, if I could have but just one wish,
And if your powers would make it true.
My wish would go something like this:
My one wish would be bring back my best friend,
And by you doin' this he'd have his smile again.
The devil took over, and he controls his soul.
But if he sees you're involved he'll let him go.
He will change, and quit cheatin' on his wife,
Then he'll go back to the man I used to like.
Please, Lord, won't you chase his demons away?
So once again my brother can have better days.
I'm on my knees as I'm askin' this of you,
Cause it's somethin' that only you can do.
Would you remove his pain, so he'll be okay?
Open up his eyes and send your love his way.
He will change, and quit cheatin' on his wife.
Then he'll go back to the man I used to like.
Please, Lord, won't you chase his demons away?
So once again my brother can have better days.
Please, Lord, won't you chase his demons away?
So once again my brother can have better days.
It won't matter,
How much you are worth.
But it will matter,
How many you've hurt.
You won't be taking,
Except what you bring.
You only need a soul,
And a voice that can sing.
Chorus:
It won't matter,
The places you've been.
But it will matter,
How you treated your friends.
It won't matter,
What you want it to be.
The things that matter,
Were all God's to see.
When our time is done,
And our soul has moved on.
What we leave won't matter,
If we're dead and we're gone.
Up beyond the clouds,
Every one is the same.
And it don't matter,
From where you have came.
Chorus:
It won't matter,
The places you've been.
But it will matter,
How you treated your friends.
It won't matter,
What you want it to be.
The things that matter,
Were all God's to see.
We're at the end of the road
That'll lead us to God.
His arms are extended
As he smiles and nods.
He knows we're tired, and sees we're weary.
And he is waiting there to lead us home.
He gave us life, And let us choose our paths.
Now he's leading us back where we belong.
It is a time we'll all face,
And our reward is earned.
It's when our journey's end,
And our bridges are burned.
Loved ones shouldn't cry
When it's a time to rejoice.
Because we're joinin' God,
And hearin' his sweet voice.
It is a time we'll all face,
And our reward is earned.
It's when our journey's end,
And our bridges are burned.
