"Gospel Lyrics"


What You Took From Me

Lord I come today to thank you
But not for things I've ever mentioned here before
Not for blessings you have given
or the Joys you promised are in store
So As I bow before you
Give me the words to express my deepest thanks
Not for what You've given
But Lord, for what You took away


Chorus

You took my guilt and shame
and all my sinful blame became as yours
You opened wide your hands
as a guilty man you wore my crown of thorns
You took the dept I'd earned
and all that I deserved on Calvary
Lord thanks for what You've given
but most of all
thanks for what you took from me


Father Please Forgive me for all the times I failed to mention this before
I've been so concerned with treasures
Went so far as to even ask for more
But you've shown me lord what's precious
are not the things you've given me today
For their worth to me is nothing when compared to what you took away


Repeat Chorus

You took the dept I'd earned
and all that I deserved on calvary
Lord Thanks for what you've given
but most of all thanks for what you took from me




When My Knees Touch Gold

Someday soon
I'll hear a voice
saying Child UR race is run
Then I'll lend to heavens splender
for beyond the setting sun
And as I approach the shining throne
where mercys child was born
I shall bow like
I've never bowed before


Chorus
As my knees touch gold
at the foot of God's throne
all his power and glory
will be shown
there on bended knee
in his pressence I shall be
Love will flow when my knees touch gold


As I humbly bow before the Lord
His eyes will meet with mine
and he'll take his nail scarred hand
and wipe the tears from my eyes
No sorrow there
No cross to bear
No pain will ever be
Just a precious lamb worth Praising
throughout eternity


Repeat Chorus


Without a Valley

I've been walking
through a valley
it was dark and
it was drear
yet in the middle
of my sorrow
I heard Jesus say
Child I'm still here


But without a valley
How will I ever know
that his strong and gentle hand
would never let me go
How would I know for sure
That I'm secure and safe where ere I go
Without a Valley
How would I know


So I thank you Lord
for each trial
How your teaching me
Your perfect Love
For You have shown that I
can still have joy inside
even though the road
seems long and rough


Knowing You'll Be There

The other day I passed a place
You Always liked to go
And I picked up the phone to call
I thought You'd want to know
But I forgot you weren't there
I miss you more these days
And I'm reminded of your smile
And the funny things you'd say


Second Verse

I see you most at Christmas
You were like a little kid
You always loved a good surprise
And now I must admit
That I long more for heaven
Than I ever did before
You give me one more reason
And each day I want it more


Chorus


Knowing we can spend a lifetime
Reminiscing all the past
Knowing I can see your face again
Where tender moments last
It makes me want to go there
Knowing I won't be alone
Knowing you'll be there
Makes it easy to go home


Third Verse

You left a group of fishermen
And somehow You left me too
Though I have felt you many times
And though You saw me through
I've always longed to feel your arms
And Look into your eyes
And talk forever, Me and You
Somewhere in Paradise

Repeat Chorus


Home Where I Belong


They say that Heaven's Pretty
And living here is too
But if they said that I would have
to choose between the two
I'd go home
Going Home
Where I belong


Sometimes When I'm dreaming
It comes as no surprise
That if you'll look you'll see
That homesick feeling in my eyes
I'm going home, I'm going home
Where I belong


While I'm here I'll server him gladly
And sing him all these songs
I'm here, But not for long
One day I'll be sleeping
When death knocks on my door
Then I'll awake to find that I'm not homesick anymore
Cause I'll be home, I'll be home


When I'm feeling lonely
When I'm feeling blue
It's such a joy to know that
I am only passing through
I'm heading home, I'm going home
Where I Belong


When He was On the Cross


I'm not on an ego trip, I'm nothing on my own
I make mistakes and often slip
Just common Flesh and Bone
But I'll prove someday just why I say
I'm of a special Kind
For when he was on the Cross
I was on his mind


The Look of Love was on his face
Thorns were on his head
Blood was on his scarlet robe
Stained a crimson red
Though his eyes were on the crowd that day
He looked ahead in time
And when he was on the cross
I was on his mind


He knew me, Yet he loved me
He whose Glory makes
The heavens shine
So unworthy, of such mercy
Yet when he was on the cross
I was on his mind
When he was on the Cross, I was on his mind
