I’ve been feeling a little bit overwhelmed
I’ve been a little too wrapped up in myself
So many things to cloud my mind
I need to leave them all behind
And think about a place and time
Beyond this life

Won’t that be fine
Oh, when the sun always shines
Nothin’ but love all the time
Oh, won’t that be fine

I love to get caught up in this daydream
I smile to think about all that I’ll see
And any need I’ve ever had
Any question that I want to ask
Won’t even matter
Gone with the past

And won’t that be fine
When everything wrong will be right
And when we will walk in the light
Won’t that be fine

Don’t let me grow bitter I pray
Give me strength to carry on my way
I’m leanin’ on You like a wooden cane
While I’m walkin’ through, I’m walkin’ through the valley of pain

I’m believin’ there’s a reason for this trial
This too shall pass in a little while
Lord, have mercy if I complain
While I’m walkin’ through, I’m walkin’ through the valley of pain

Won’t You bathe me in the river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth and courage in my ears

When I’m hurtin’ I have a dangerous tongue
I’ll lose it and use it like a gun
Lord, stop me if You see me takin’ aim

I’m walkin’ through, I’m walkin’ through the valley of pain
I’m walkin’ through, I’m walkin’ through the valley of pain
I’m walkin’ through, I’m walkin’ through the valley of pain

Ah, bathe me in the river of my tears
Whisper hope and truth, courage in my ears
Remind me when I reach the other side
I’ll be thankful for every tear that I’ve cried

Don’t let me grow bitter I pray

Give me strength to carry on my way
Don’t let the darkness drive me insane

While I’m walkin’ through, I’m walkin’ through this valley of pain

I’m walkin’ through, I’m walkin’ through the valley of pain

While I’m walkin’ thorugh, I’m walkin’ through this valley of pain

He was born in Bethlehem, they say
There was a star to light the path to where He lay
Rich or poor they came from far and near
‘Cause they’d all heard the reason He was here

He was the Son God sent to one and all
Put on this earth to hang there on that cross
Born to die, so we could live
He had the birthday, we got the gift

They wrapped Him up with gentle hands
God hoped the world would understand
Eternal life we shall receive
And all that He asks in return is that we just believe

There’s no way in this world we could repay
The miracle He gave us on that day

On our Savior’s birthday, we got the gift

They took Your commandments off the schoolhouse walls
They say it’s a crime to even pray within the halls
But bless teh child that lets You in and knows without a doubt
Once You live inside a heart, they can’t take You out

We are soldiers of the cross
We’ve been found to reach the lost
In city streets, down country roads
We take You with us everyday, everywhere we go

Here’s to those across the land, working in a place
Where the boss man and the government say they can’t share their faith
They know all too well they’ll lose their job if they get caught
But to win a soul for Jesus, they will risk it all because

In the God of all Creation we put our faith and trust
And give our lives to You ’cause You gave Your life for us

Everywhere we go

By my grandfather’s bed, my mother is reading
Psalm 62 - God is our Refuge
My grandfather stirs, could it be he is waking?
One final time — he has something to say

If you only knew what lies awaiting, if you could only see what I can see
If you could only hear the
Music playing, the angels singing, sweet victory
Oh, if you only knew, if you only knew how much He loves you

By my grandfather’s bed, my momma is broken
Psalm 17 - O God, I call on You
She doesn’t want to hear any words about leaving
My grandfather says, “Fear not, this is my time and into His presence I’ll fly”

Keep your lure in the water, don’t just sit by the shore
There are souls to be caught everywhere in this old world
Go where hearts are plenty, don’t just drift with the tide
Keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life

The Lord said, “Simon, haul your nets in
From now on you’re a fisher of men”
Well, I like fishin’, that’s why it caught my ear
The Lord knew how to get to me and what I’d need to hear

When the sea is troubled and it’s hard to stay afloat
And you feel ike Jesus is sleeping in the boat
Don’t you dare give up on the Prince of Peace
And in the middle of the storm you will find a sweet release

Yeah, keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life

Can you hear Jerusalem’s cry?
Can you see the storm on the rise?
Look around, you can’t deny
This is the hour of Heaven’s time

Armies gather in the East
For the war that’s soon to come
Death will march with the mark of the Beast
So seek the Light and walk with the Son

Soon we’ll see His wrath come down
And the Lord descending from the sky
When you hear the trumpets sound
God has answered Jerusalem’s cry

When the sun goes black
And the moon blood red
And the stars fall from the sky
The word of God in the Bible says
We’re living in the end times

Soon the dead in Christ will rise
And join Him in the sky
Even unbelievers will see
God has answered Jerusalem’s cry

God has answered Jerusalem’s cry

Everybody gathered where the river runs wider at the edge of town
To see if that Eddy Lee Vaughn baptism was really gonna go down
Foks bet hard-earned money that water wouldn’t change a thing
They set the odds at a hundred to one his soul would never come clean
Then the preacher said, “People take a moment or two
There’s something we need to do”

Pray for the fish, they won’t know what’s comin’
When the sin starts rollin’ off the likes of him
Lord, be with ‘em, they ain’t done nothin’
Please won’t you leave ‘em just a little bit of room to swim
Pray for the fish

Well, the preacher ducked him under that clear, cool water, then he did it again
Eddy came up yelling, “Oh, Lord in Heaven, hallelujah I’m a brand new man”
Well, teh water got to bubblin’, the sky got to rumblin’, and the thunder backed up the choir
The fish started jumpin’, it was like they were swimmin’ in a lake of fire
Then Eddy’s mama stepped out of the crowd and started yellin’ out loud

He said everybody cross your fingers and fold your hands
Pray for ole Eddy, but before we say amen

Lord, pray for the fish

When I wake up in the morning, put my feet on the floor
I thank Him for the day that He gave me one more
I give Him all the praise, the one that I adore
That’s Jesus, oh, that’s Jesus

I was lost and alone, my heart in need of help
I found eternal life and lost my fear of death
Because I know the author of my every breath
That’s Jesus, oh, that’s Jesus

God of glory, majesty
The Holy One who died for me
Who’s the One I long to see
That’s Jesus, oh, that’s Jesus

If you’re a soul that’s lost and in need of direction
You wonder when you die if you’ll go to Heaven
Well, friend, I found the answer to that very question
That’s Jesus, oh, that’s Jesus
