Your favorite Gospel song

Post by orange-n-brown 365 »

WHY ME LORD

Why me Lord
What have I ever done to deserve even one,
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord,
What did I ever do that was worth loving you,
For the kindness you've shown.
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so,
Help me Jesus, I know what I am.
But now that I know that I've needed you so,
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hands.
Try me Lord,
If you think there's a way I can try to repay,
All I've taken from you.
Maybe Lord,
I can show someone else what I've been through myself,
On my way back to you.
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so,
Help me Jesus, I know what I am.
But now that I know that I've needed you so,
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hands.
Lord help me Jesus I've wasted it so,
Help me Jesus, I know what I am.
But now that I know that I've needed you so,
Help me Jesus my soul's in your hands.

Jesus my soul's in your hands.


We can make up for all of our wrong doings
by following Jesus in the way He would want
us to.
Live your life to the best of your ability
Help others as often as you can

Earn the kindness that Jesus shows to you
Love Him and love yourself, and in turn
you will love others and be loved by them....

But......most of all, always say...

Jesus my soul's in your hands...

This is In my opinion was sang by one of the greatest gospel groups in history

The Lighthouse

Words and Music: Ronnie Hinson © 1971 Canaanland Music
This song also appeared on Signature Songs by The Sounds of Glory, Give Me Light by Acappella Vocal Band, The Early Years by AVB, Acappella Traditional by The Acappella Company, Second Pew on the Left by Cross Examined, and on Get With the Rhythm by Rhythm & News.
Lead: None

Lyrics:

There's a Lighthouse on the hillside
That over looks life's sea
And when I'm tossed it sends out a light
That I might see
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead us o'er
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse
My ship would be no more

Chorus:
And I thank God for the Lighthouse
I owe my life to Him
For Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin
He has shown a light around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me)
Where would this ship be?

Everybody that lives about us
Says tear that Lighthouse down
The big ships don't sail this way anymore
There's no use of it standing round
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night
When just in time I saw the light
Yes, the light from that old Lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill

Repeat Chorus

not really a gospel song but its a good one
BROOKS & DUNN LYRICS

"Believe"

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
Down the street where i grew up
Momma used to send me over with things
We struck a friendship up
I spent a few long summers out on his old porch swing

Says he was in the war when in the navy
Lost his wife, lost his baby
Broke down and asked him one time
How ya keep from going crazy
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
He looked at me and smiled, said

[Chorus]
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see
Oh i believe

Few years later i was off at college
Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
Getting all caught up on the gossip
The ins and outs of the small town life
She said oh by the way son, old man Wrigley's died.

Later on that night, i laid there thinkin' back
Thought 'bout a couple long-lost summers
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh
If there was ever anybody deserved a ticket to the other side
It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said

[Chorus]
I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see

I can't quote the book
The chapter or the verse
You can't tell me it all ends
In a slow ride in a hearse
You know I'm more and more convinced
The longer that i live
Yeah, this can't be
No, this can't be
No, this can't be all there is

[Chorus]
When I raise my hands, bow my head
I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red
They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see
I believe
Oh, I
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe

Only the Bob Dylan ones, because most other gospel singers and artists suck, lack inspiration, or lyrical style.

THE ANCHOR HOLDS


I have journeyed through the long, dark night
Out on the open sea,
By faith alone, sight unknown,
And yet His eyes were watching me.

The Anchor holds, though the ship is battered.
The Anchor holds, though the sails are torn.
Well I have fallen on my knees,
as I faced the raging sea,
But the Anchor holds, in spite of the storm.
I've had visions and I've had dreams;
Well I've even held them in my hands,
But I never knew those dreams could slip right through
Like they were only grains of sand.


O, the Anchor holds, though the ship is battered.
The Anchor holds, though the sails are torn.
Well I have fallen on my knees,
as I faced the raging seas.
O, the Anchor holds, in spite of the storm.
Now I have been young, but I am older now.
O and there has been beauty these eyes have seen;
But it was in the night, when I faced the storms of my life.
Oh, that's where God proved His love to me.


The Anchor holds, though the ship is battered.
The Anchor holds, though the sails are torn.
I have fallen, fallen down on my knees
as I faced the raging seas.
But the Anchor holds; O, in spite of the storm.
I said I've fallen, fallen down on my knees
as I faced the raging seas;
But the Anchor holds, in spite of the storm.

Are You Washed In The Blood
Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb.

Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the lamb
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb.

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the lamb
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean
Oh, be washed in the blood of the lamb.

Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the lamb
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb.

--- Instrumental ---

Are you washed in the blood
In the soul cleansing blood of the lamb
Are your garments spotless are they white as snow
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb...
