He Made The Difference

HE MADE THE DIFFERENCE
He was born in a stable in a little Jewish town
The sun came up that morning and that evening it went down
He was just another child as far as anyone could see (but)
He made the difference for you and for me
On a tree He bore the burden for every sinful man
While His life told the story of the salvation plan
Just a carpenter, as far as anybody knew (still)
He made the difference for me and for you
He made the difference
When He made me whole
He gave me a new heart
When He saved my soul
Now I'm a new man (and)
The old one is gone
To God be the glory
He's the reason I carry on
One night I opened up my heart (and)
I asked the Savior in (and)
He made the difference
He washed away my sin
(solo)
He made the difference
When He made me whole
He gave me a new heart
When He saved my soul
Now I'm a new man (and)
The old one is gone
To God be the glory
He's the reason I carry on
He made the difference
Yes, He made the difference

No Greater Love

NO GREATER LOVE
I didn't deserve it, Lord
I was a sinner through and through
Oh but You washed me clean
When You made me a part of You
Oh what a love You showed me
The love of a true, blue Friend
Oh what a gift You gave me
When You died and rose again
There is no greater love
Than the love You have shown (and)
The peace You give
Is like I've never known
You met me down on my knees
You set me completely free
There is no greater love
Than Yours, for me
This world is not my home
It gets harder every day (but)
Next to what You went through
It's nothing but child's play
(chorus)
In all of history
No greater love than Calvary...
(chorus)

That's Believin'

THAT'S BELIEVIN'
When you can't see
Where the road leads (and)
You're searchin' for a sign
Just remember
That He's right there
Keepin' everything in line
He won't leave you or forsake you
No, He's with you all the time...
Not seeing, that's believin'
No matter what you've heard
You can trust Him, because He said so
You can take Him at His Word
Not seeing... that's believin'
Though we don't know
How the wind blows
Still you and I can feel it
So it is with
God's Spirit
Have a little faith and receive it
He won't leave you or forsake you
No, He's with you all the time...
(chorus)
Thomas doubted what they told him
He said "Only when I see
The scars of the nails in His hands
Will I believe..." (and Jesus said...)
Not seeing, that's believin'
No matter what you've heard
You can trust God, because He said so (and)
That's according to His Word
Not seeing...that's believin'
(repeat chorus)

Only Say The Word

ONLY SAY THE WORD
Lord I’ve sinned, and I have wandered
From the straight, narrow way
I have taken Your mercy for granted
Like a sheep gone astray
I have stumbled and I have fallen (and)
My spirit is broken (but)
I believe that I’ll be whole again
The moment You have spoken
Only say the word
Only say the word
Only say the word (and)
Your servant… will live
(instrumental break)
Lord, we all come short of the glory
That You have revealed
We’re not worthy to receive You (but)
A word and we’ll be healed
Only say the word
Only say the word
Only say the word (and)
Your servant… will live (and)
Your children…will live (and)
Your people…will live

One Man Can

ONE MAN CAN
Back in the Bible when the Hebrews were in chains
God heard them crying and He felt their every pain
So He sent one man to let old Pharaoh know
He said, "Moses, go and tell him to let my people go"
One man can (yeah)
It only takes one man
Who can make a difference?
One man can
Down through the ages, ever since time began
God called on someone to stand and be a man
Like He did when Noah sailed for higher ground
Like He did when David brought that giant down
(chorus)
When He calls you to do what's in His Word
The battle has begun
When everything is wrong, stand for what's right
Though you're only one (man)....
(solo)
And God bless the ladies who did what He said to do
There was Abigail and Esther, Rahab and Mary too
One woman can
One woman can
Who can make a difference
One man can
One man can
One man can...

The Way

THE WAY
Forty years we’ve wandered
On this weary, barren path
Searching for the promised land
You’ve been beside us
With every step we take
Through the burning, desert sand
Manna from the heavens
Water from the rock
You’ve met every single need
You’ve never failed us
Even though we fail You
Whenever we don’t believe
There’s a land of milk and honey
You said would be ours someday
Guide us, Lord, through the wilderness (cause)
We don’t know… the Way
A cloud at daylight (and)
A pillar of fire by night
Showing us the right direction
We’ve gone in circles
On a never-ending journey
Seeking our destination
There’s a land of milk and honey
You said would be ours someday
Guide us, Lord, through the wilderness (cause)
We don’t know… the Way

HOW LONG ON A WING AND A PRAYER?
I've been longing for the answer to my prayer
You keep telling me to wait
On the promise of a life beyond compare
Lord, I know You're never late
Don't know why I would ever doubt you
When I see what You have done (but)
Somehow the answer won't come
How long on a wing and a prayer
How long til I get there
How long til You come to take me home
How long on a wing and a prayer
Rain or shine I know You're there
Through it all I know I'm not alone (but)
How long on a wing and a prayer
Don't know the hour or the day when You will come (but)
I've been watching for the signs
Lord, they tell me You complete what You've begun (and)
You do it right on time
Don't know how I could ever doubt you
When I see what You have done (but)
Somehow the answer won't come
(chorus)
I believe in the promise that You gave me
Of a love that will save me...
How long on a wing and a prayer
How long til I get there
How long til You come to take me home
How long on a wing and a prayer
Through it all I know You care
On the cross You made this child Your own (but)
How long on a wing and a prayer
How long on a wing and a prayer
How long on a wing and a prayer

Jericho Road

JERICHO ROAD
You've heard the story of the man who was left for dead
Someone saw him lying there and went on instead
Then another man chanced near, and seeing him, he fled
Down Jericho Road
Jericho Road
It's a long, hard way down Jericho Road
Jericho Road
Jericho Road
It's a long, hard way down Jericho Road
A stranger came along and tended to the wounded man (and)
Restored him back to life again with a helping hand
He was a true neighbor, passing through, from another land
(chorus)
Perilous roads we must travel
Constant danger all around
He won't leave us in the hour of need
As we lie bleeding on the ground
You've heard the story of the man who was left for dead...

Let There Be Love
03:44
|

LET THERE BE LOVE
In the beginning when God made it all
From the stars to the fish in the sea
The Lord had a plan for the woman and man (and)
This is how it came to be (well)
Adam discovered what loneliness was
When He gave all the animals names
Then God brought to him a lifetime companion (and)
Neither of them knew any shame (and God said...)
Let there be love
Let there be children
Let there be a family (and)
Let them go forth, and multiply, on the earth...
Let there be love
The Lord God knew that the man and the woman
Would fall away from His grace
So He made a way in the form of His Son
To save the whole human race
From the fall of man to the birth of the Savior
It was clear we couldn't save ourselves
Only the Son who never knew sin
Could die for everyone else (and God said...)
Let there be love
Let there be Jesus
Let there be Calvary
Let Him die, on the cross, for the people
Even though
Some would say "no"
To the gift of eternal life
Still, the provision was made
Let there be love
Let there be Jesus
Let there be salvation (and)
On the third day, let Him rise, from the dead...
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love

Even Jesus Got The Blues
03:44
|

EVEN JESUS GOT THE BLUES
He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (but)
The people wouldn't listen though He gave them little clues
He was glory incarnate but even Jesus got the blues
When Lazarus was dying
He said "he's just asleep" (but)
When He stood beside the gravesite
The Lord began to weep
He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (but)
The people wouldn't listen though He gave them little clues
He is joy beyond measure but even Jesus got the blues
He was praying in the garden and
As He cried, He bled
He asked His friends to listen (but)
They went to sleep instead
He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (and)
To drink that cup of sufferin' - my God, He paid some dues
He was the man of sorrow - even Jesus got the blues
(solo)
He came down from heaven to walk in mankind's shoes
He came to earth to tell us the very best of news (but)
The people wouldn't listen though He gave them little clues
He is joy beyond measure but even Jesus got the blues

One Day

ONE DAY
One day out of the new week
We kneel down and pray
We thank the Lord on bended knee (and)
Then we go away
What about the rest of the week
What are we doing then
Re-writing all His rules (and)
Breaking them again
One day every seven is not enough to know
One hour every week is not enough to grow (but)
Every little bit helps
One day out of the old year
We give to those we love
We make ourselves feel better (but)
We never give enough
What about the rest of the year
We never gave a thing (or)
Just enough to get us by
What little we could bring
One day each December is not enough to show
One moment every year doesn't make it so
No, it's only an example
Of the way that things could be
Each and every day
One day is not enough to know
One hour is not enough to grow
One day is not enough to show
One moment doesn't make it so

The Word

|

THE WORD
The Word of God became like you and me
The Word was God - He spoke and it came to be
He made it all - the planets and the stars (but)
He’s there for you, no matter who you are
He sent His Son Jesus, to save you
At Calvary, what a gift He gave you
Once and for all, He paid the price for sin (but)
To save your soul, He’d do it all again
He is the Word and the Word of God is true
He cared enough to give His life for you
He made it all the planets and the stars (but)
He’s there for you, no matter where you are
He will return and His Kingdom will have no end
We’ll reign with Him, in Heaven, forever and ever and ever…
He is the Word - the Word of God
He is the Word - the Word of God
