I am a pilgrim and a stranger

Traveling through this wearisome land

And I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord

And it's not (good Lordy it's not) not made by hand

I got a mother, a sister and a brother

Who have gone to that sweet home

And I am determined to go and see them, good Lord

Over on (good Lordy over on) that distant shore

As I go down to that river Jordan

Just to bathe my weary soul

If I could touch but just the hem of His garment, good Lord

I believe (good Lordy I believe) that it would make me whole

Now when I'm dead, laying in my coffin

All of my friends all gather round

They can say that he's just laying there sleeping, good Lord

Sweet peace (Lordy sweet peace) his son is found

I Can Almost See the Lights of Home

John tells of a city that he saw coming down,

Where no sorrow, pain, or death will be known.

And someday we can go there

through His marvelous grace;

Forever live in that heavenly home.

Oh, I can almost see the lights of that city.

I see them gathered all around the great white throne.

Through faith in my savior and His wonderful love,

Oh, I can almost see the lights of home.

Well, sometimes I'm so burdened

and my cross is hard to bear,

And ol' satan, he tries to dim my view.

I just look up to Jesus, He is standing close by.

And once again, His great light shines through.

I Can't Even Walk

C G C G

Well I thought number one would surely be me

C G

I thought I could be what I wanted to be

I thought I could build on life's sinking sand

G D G

But I can't even walk without You holding my hand

C G C G

I can't even walk without you holding my hand

D7 G C G

The mountain's too high and the valley's too wide

C G C G

Down on my knees I learned to stand

G C G D G

Lord I can't even walk without You holding my hand

Well I thought I had done a lot on my own

I thought I could make it all alone

I thought of myself as a mighty big man

But I can't even walk without You holding my hand

I think I'll make Jesus my one and my all,

From now on when I'm in trouble, only His name I'll call

If I can't trust Him I'll be less of a man

'Cause I can't even walk without You holding my hand.

I Can't Feel At Home

This world is not my home I'm just a passing through

My treasures and my hopes are all beyond the blue

Where many friends and kindred have gone on before

And I cant feel at home in this world anymore

Oh lord you know I have no friend like you

If heaven's not my home oh lord what would I do

Angel's beckon me to heaven's open door

And I cant feel at home in this world anymore

Over in glory land there is no dying there

The saints are shouting victory and singing everywhere

I hear the voice of them that I have heard before

And I cant feel at home in this world anymore

Heaven's expecting me that's one I know

I fixed it up with Jesus a long time ago

He will take me through though I am weak and poor

And I cant feel at home in this world anymore

Oh I have a loving mother over in glory land

I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand

She's gone on before just waiting at heaven's door

And I cant feel at home in this world anymore

I Feel Like Traveling On

My Heavenly home is bright an' fair

I feel like traveling on

No pain or death can enter there

I feel like traveling on

Yes, I feel like traveling on

I feel like traveling on

My Heavenly home is bright and fair

An' I feel like traveling on

The Lord has been so good to me

I feel like traveling on

He saved my soul an' now I'm free

An' I feel like traveling on

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus

I have [G] decided to follow Jesus.

I have [C] decided to follow [G] Jesus.

I have decided to follow Jesus.

I can't turn [D7] back, I can't turn [G] back.

With the cross [G] before me

and the world behind me.

With the cross [C] before me

and the world [G] behind me.

With the cross before me

and the world behind me.

I can't turn [D7] back,

Though none go with me, still I will follow.

I can't turn back, I can't turn back.

I Have That Joy

I have the joy, joy, joy, joy,

Down in my heart,

I have the joy, joy, joy, joy,

Down in my heart,

Down in my heart to stay.

I have the peace that passeth understanding,

Down in my heart,

I have the peace that passeth understanding,

Down in my heart,

Down in my heart to stay.

I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus,

Down in my heart,

I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus,

Down in my heart,

Down in my heart to stay.

For there is therefore now no condemnation,

Down in my heart, (X3)

For there is therefore now no condemnation,

Down in my heart,

Down in my heart to stay.

I Just Feel Like Something Good Is About To Happen

When God's people humble themselves to call on Jesus,

And they look to Heaven, expecting as they pray...

I just feel like something good is about to happen,

And, baby, this could be the very day.

I just feel like something good is about to happen.

I just feel like something good is on it's way.

He has promised that he'd open all of heaven,

And, Brother, it could happen any day.

I have learned in all that happens just to praise him,

For I know he's working all things for my good.

Every tear I shed is worth all the investment

For I know he'll see me through; he said he would.

He has promised eye nor ear can hardly fathom

All the things he has in store for those who pray.

I just feel like something good is about to happen,

And, baby, this could be the very day.

Yes I've noticed all the bad news in the paper,

And it seems like things are bleaker every day.

But for this child of God it makes no difference,

For things are bound are bound to get better either way.

I've never been more thrilled about tomorrow.

Sunshine's always bursting through the skies of gray.

I just feel like something good is about to happen,

And, brother, this could be the very day.

I Know the Lord Will Make a Way for Me

I know the Lord will make a way for me.

If I live a holy life,

Shun the wrong and do the right,

I know the Lord will make a way for me.

He died to save me from my sin and shame.

He died to save me from my sin and shame.

Though my needs be great or small

He has suffered for them all,

He died to save me from my sin and shame.

'Twill be a joy to hear Him say well done.

If I trust and never doubt,

Pay my tithes and sing and shout,

'Twill be a joy to hear Him say well done.

I Never Shall Forget The Day

Long years ago, I was lost in sin

There was no hope, no peace within

Down on my knees in agony

Well, I prayed to Jesus, then He gladly set me free

Well, I never shall forget the day

When all the burdens from my soul was rolled away

It made me happy, glad, and free

I'll sing and shout it for He's everything to me

Oh sinner come to Jesus now

At His nail pierced feet, you must humbly bow.

Confess to Him your every sin

He'll save and cleanse you, give you the perfect peace within

I never shall forget the day

When all the burdens of my soul was rolled away

It made me happy, glad, and free

I'll sing and shout it for He's everything to me

I Saw The Light

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin

I wouldn't let my dear Savior in

Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night

Praise the Lord. I saw the light.

I saw the light, I saw the light

No more in darkness, no more night

Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

Just like a blind man I wandered along

Worries and fears I claimed for my own

Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight

Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

I was a fool to wander and stray

Straight is the gate and narrow the way

Now I have traded he wrong for the right

Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

I Shall Not Be Moved

Glory hallelujah, I shall not be moved

Anchored in Jehovah, I shall not be moved;

Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,

I shall not be moved.

I shall not be, I shall not be moved;

I shall not be, I shall not be moved;

Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,

I shall not be moved.

In His love abiding, I shall not be moved;

And in Him I'm hiding I shall not be moved.

Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,

I shall not be moved.

Though all hell assail me, I shall not be moved;

Jesus will not fail me I shall not be moved.

Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,

I shall not be moved.

Though the tempest rages, I shall not be moved;

On the Rock of AgesI shall not be moved.

Just like a tree that's planted by the waters,

I shall not be moved.

Worldly pleasures all forsaken; Take me Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender; Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine.

Let me feel the Holy Spirit; Truly know that Thou art mine.

I Was There When It Happened

There are some people who say we cannot tell

Whether we are saved or whether all is well

They say we only can hope & trust that is so

Well, I was there when it happened & so I guess I ought to know

Yes I know when Jesus saved me

The very moment he forgave me

He took away my heavy burden lord, he gave me peace within

Satan can't make me doubt it

It's real & I'm gonna shout it

I was there when it happened & so I guess I ought to know

I don't care who tells me, salvation is not brief

Though the world may argue that we cannot feel

The heavy burden's lifted & the foul sins go

I was there when it happened & so I guess I ought to know.

"We were there when it happened & so we thought,

you ought to know"

I Won't Have To Worry

Down here the burdens are heavy

and the road is rough and long,

Sometimes my feet grow weary and so slow.

There's a brighter day a coming,

soon I'll step on heaven's shore,

And I won't have to worry anymore.

No I won't have to worry when I reach the other shore.

All my troubles will be over and I'll rest forevermore.

My eyes will be on Jesus, and my heart will be aglow,

And I won't have to worry anymore.

Someday when life is over

and I've said my last goodbyes,

I'll see the Savior standing at the door.

I'll hear him say, "You're welcome.

All your cares you've left behind

And I won't have to worry anymore.

I Would Not Be Denied

When pangs of death seized on my soul,

Unto the Lord I cried,

Till Jesus came and made me whole,

I would not be denied.

I would not be denied,

I would not be denied,

Till Jesus came and made me whole,

I would not be denied.

As Jacob in the days of old,

I wrestled with the Lord;

And instant with a courage bold

I stood upon His word.

Old Satan said my Lord was gone

And would not hear my prayer,

But, praise the Lord! the work is done,

And Christ the Lord is here.

I Wouldn�t Take Nothing For My Journey Now

Well, I wouldn�t take nothin� for my journey now

I�m, gonna make it to Heaven somehow

Though the devil tempts me and tries to turn me around

He�s offered everything that�s got a name

All the wealth I want and worldly fame

If I could still I wouldn�t take nothin� for my journey now

Well I started out a-travellin� for the Lord many years ago

I had a lot of heartaches, met a lot of grief and woe

But when I would stumble, then I would humble down

And I can say thank the Lord

I wouldn�t take nothin� for my journey now

There�s nothin� in the world that�ll ever take the place of God�s love

Silver and gold could never buy a mighty touch from up above

But when my soul needs a healin� and I begin to feelin� His power

I can say thank the Lord

I wouldn�t take nothing for my journey now

He�s offered everything that�s got a name

All the wealth I want and worldly fame

If I could still I wouldn�t take nothin� for my journey now

I'll Be Satisfied

When my soul is singing in that promised land above,

I'll be satisfied;

Praising Christ the Savior for redeeming grace and love,

I'll be satisfied.

I'll be satisfied, (satisfied,)

I'll be satisfied; (satisfied;)

When my soul is resting in the presence of the Lord,

I'll be satisfied.

Living in a city where the soul shall never die,

I'll be satisfied;

There to meet with loved ones, never more to say goodby,

I'll be satisfied.

When I meet the ransomed over on the golden shore,

I'll be satisfied;

I'll join with the angels singing praises evermore,

I'll be satisfied.

I'll Be Somewhere Listening

(E)When the Saviour (A) calls I will (E) answer

When He (B7) calls to me, I will hear (E) Him

When the Saviour (A) calls I will (E) answer

I'll be (B7) somewhere listening for my (E) name.

I'll be (A) somewhere listening

I'll be (E) somewhere listening

I'll be (B7) somewhere listening for my (E) name

I'll be (A) somewhere listening

I'll be (E) somewhere listening

I'll be (B7) somewhere listening for my (E) name

If my heart is right when He calls me

If my heart is right, I will hear Him

If my heart is right when He calls me

I'll be somewhere listening for my name

If my robe is white when He calls me

If my robe is white, I will hear Him

If my robe is white when He calls me

I'll be somewhere listening for my name

I'll Fly Away

Some glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away

To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, O glory, I'll fly away

When I die, hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away

Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away.

Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away.

To a land where joys shall never end, I'll fly away.

I'll Live On

'Tis a sweet and glorious thought that comes to me,
