JESUS


He had no seat in congress, He never taught in school
He went about the country side, He taught the golden rule

He taught upon the mountainn He taught down by the sea
He taught around the jordon, He taught in galilee

He had no temple to pray in, No church house there was found
He went into the garden, And knelt down on the ground

He prayed not with a lot of words, His heart went out for me
He sweated blood, pain and tears ,There in gethsemane

At last he taught upon the cross,There with his dieing plea
To forgive the sin of fallen men, Father forgive them ,please
Rev HJ Hembree


NOT ALLOWED

You say that he is not allowed , to enter in your school
While unaware they're standing there, and teach his golden rule

He wants no pictue on the wall, no flag to wave his glory
But in the heart of each of his ,to live and tell the story

He does not wish to rule by law, nor legislate a place
But win with love sent from above, and save each one by grace

Now you say that he's shut out, of places where you've been
But each time that you go there, Jesus walks right in

So in this world of pain and tears,of sadness grief and sorrow
Lift up thine eyes unto the hills, for he is your tomorrow
Rev. H>J>Hembree


HOLEY SHIRT

My holey shirt,I wore to church,When I was but a lad
I didn't know that I was poor, Or times back then were bad

My holey shirt I wore to church,My pants were holey too
With ever mile I wore a smile, Down to my holey shoes

My holey shirt I wore to church, To work and to play
It was my Sunday best you see, It was my everday

My holey shirt I wore to church, Now has had it's day
Like all old clothes that's full of holes, my pants were threw away

My holey shirt I wore to church, My heart still wears today
My holey shirt I wore to church, Will never fade away

CROWN MADE OF THORNS

ALTHOUGH HIS CROWN WAS MADE OF THORNS
HIS HEART WAS PURE AS GOLD
FOR THE PRICE OF SINFUL MEN
OUR PRESIOUS KING WAS SOLD

ALTHOUGH HIS CROWN WAS MADE OF THORNS
HIS ROBE A PURPLE SHAME
HE DIED UPON A RUGGED CROSS
AND GAVE TO US HIS NAME

ALTHOUGH HIS CROWN WAS MADE OF THORNS
AND A SPEAR DID PIERCE HIS SIDE
THAT'S WHERE HE SHED HIS PRESIOUS BLOOD
FOR OUR SINS TO HIDE

ALTHOUGH HIS CROWN WAS MADE OF THORNS
THAT DAY AT CALVARY
THERE UPON A RUGGED CROSS
HE DIED FOR YOU AND ME

ALTHOUGH HIS CROWN WAS MADE OF THORNS
AS HE HUNG THERE ON TTHE TREE
PLEASE FORGIVE THESE SINFUL MEN
WAS HIS DIEING PLEA

MOSES

BORN OF SLAVES, BUT AS A CHILD
WAS SET ADRIFT UPON THE NILE
THEN THERE CANE THE PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER
PULLED HEM FROM THE MUDDY WATER
SAID THAT MOSES IS HIS NAME
PRINCE OF EGYPT HE BECAME
THEN ONE DAY THEY WOULD DISCOVER
JUST WHO WAS HIS REAL MOTHER
IN PHAROAH'S HOUSE WAS RAGE AND RENT
SO MOSES WAS FROM EGYPT SENT
NOT HAVING NOWHERE LEFT TO GO
MET A SHEPARD NAMED JETHRO
AS HE WONDERED ONE FINE DAY
A BURNING BUSH WAS BY THE WAY
THEN THE WORD OF GOD CAME DOWN
SAID MOSES THIS IS HOLY GROUND
COME THOU HITHER, LET US MEET
TAKE THY SHOES FROM OFF THY FEET
BACK TO EGYPT THOU WILL GO
FACE TO FACE WITH OL PHAROAH
YOU WILL TELL HEM THERE FOR ME
HE MUST SET MY PEOPLE FREE
TO HEM THOU SHALL BE A GOD
AND THY STAFF SHALL BE THY ROD
MOSES WENT AT GOD'S COMMAND
RIGHT BACK INTO EGYPT LAND
WALKED RIGHT INTO PHAROAH'S HALL
FACE TO FACE AND STANDING TALL
SIGNS AND WONDERS DID HE SHOW
.
TO ALL THE WORLD AND KING PHAROAH
LICE AND BLOOD, FROGS AND HAIL
OH THE PLAGUES ON EGYPT FELL
THEN ALL EGYPT THEY DID MORN
AT THE DEATH OF THEIR FIRST BORN
THEN OLD PHAROAH GAVE COMMAND
GET ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT LAND
OUT OF EGYPT ISRAEL FLED
BEING BY MOSES LED
THEN OL PHARAOH THOUGHT THAT HE
WOULD STOP THEM AT THE GREAT RED SEA
BUT GOD'S BREATH UPON IT BLEW
AND MOSES LED ALL ISRAEL THROUGH
ON THE MOUNTAIN ONE FINE DAY
MOSES WENT UP THERE TO PRAY
HE WAS GONE A MONTH OR MORE
SOME OF ISRAEL THEY GOT SORE
MADE THEMSELVES A GOLDEN CALF
AND AT MOSES THEY DID LAUGH
THEN AT LAST HE CAME HOME
TEN COMMANDMENTS CARVED IN STONE
THEN ALL BECAUSE OF THEIR PLUNDER
FORTY YEARS THEY DID WONDER
THEN WITH ALL THE WONDERING DONE
CALLED TO JOSHUA, SON OF NUN
COME THOU HITHER JOSHUA
HERE THE WORDS I HAVE TO SAY
ON THIS DAY YOU TAKE COMMAND
GO INTO THE PROMISED LAND
