In a dry
and weary land where is no water
My soul is thirsting for you
I have seen you in the sanctuary
Beheld your power and glory
My lips will glorify you
I will praise you as long as I live
In your name I will lift up my hands
Chorus:
Your love is better than life
Your love is better than life
Earnestly I seek you
My soul is thirsting for you
Cause your love is better than life
Because you
are my help I will be singing
In the shadow of your wing
I'm staying close beside you
Your right hand upholds me
I think of you through the night
With singing lips I will praise
And my soul will be satisfied
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Oh, God, you are my God
Earnestly I seek you
I'm longing for you
Oh, God, you are my God
Earnestly I seek you
I'm longing for you
Repeat Chorus
He Gave Her Water
Arrangement by Keith Lancaster. ©1987 Anthony K. Music
Lead:
Jerome
Williams
Chorus:
Oh Jesus, he gave her water
You know my Jesus gave her water
Oh Jesus gave her water
And it was not from the well
Well, there
was a woman from Samaria
She came to the well to get some water
It was there she met a stranger
And he did her story tell
She left my savior singing
She came back to him bringing
The time she had water
And it was not from the well
Repeat Chorus
Well on that
woman he had pity
She ran back to the city
Crying glory hallelujah
I'm gonna let his praises swell
Every time she'd doubt him
She's stop and think about him
The man that gave her that living water
And it was not from the well
Oh, gave
her water
Jesus gave her water
Oh Jesus he gave her water
I'm gonna let his praises swell
Jesus gave that woman water
He gave her that living lasting water
Oh, and it was not from the well
(Repeat)

The Time Has Come
Words and music are by Keith Lancaster. © 1986 Anthony K. Music.
Lead:
Keith Lancaster
The time
has come to tell the masses that Jesus Christ our Savior lives-
of how he loves us like that the father and of the spirit that he gives.
The time has come to take the message to those who'll never be the same-
too many bound by false religion, to those who've never heard his name.
Chorus:
The time has come to tell the nations; the time has come to spread the
word.
In every town we must confess it; we must reveal our precious Lord.
The time has come; we must not waste it. The time has come to sound the
news.
It is for every single nation. We cannot wait- the time has come.
From Macedonia,
the call is sounding. Earnest and bold the people wait.
The countless children in Peking, China; The thirsting souls of Uruguay;
The time has come to go to Boston, Salt Lake, Nashville, to Abilene.
Yes from L.A. to New York City and every county in between.
Repeat Chorus
The time
has come, the Time Has Come, the TIME HAS COME!
More Than A Friend
Words and music are by Keith Lancaster ©1986 Anthony K. Music. l
Lead: Keith Lancaster
More than
a friend, more than a friend
More than a friend, more than a friend
Chorus:
Well, he's more than a friend
More than a friend
Yes, he's more than a friend to me
'Cause he gave up his life
And at oh such a price
And he's more than a friend to me
People keep
on searching for the perfect friend
Who they'll trust with their compassion and their confidence
Cause they need someone to love them in the deepest way
Hear what I'm about to say
He was willing
to give his life
Ultimate sacrifice
He was God made flesh and put to death for me
Now you know it's easy to see
Repeat Chorus
Ever since
I've known him
I am not the same
And I'm proud to say that
I can wear his precious name
'Cause of all the ones who love me
That will ever be
No one cares as much as he
He was willing
to count the cost
Suffering for the lost
Not a greater love that I could receive
Now you know I gotta believe
Repeat Chorus
Listen to
me
More than
a friend
More than a friend (well he's more than a friend)
More than a friend
More than a friend (well he's more than a friend)
More than a friend
More than a friend (well he's more than a friend)
More than a friend
More than a friend
Repeat Chorus

Lead: Keith Lancaster
Chorus:
Well you rock-a-my-soul
Down in the bosom of Abraham
You rock-a-my-soul
Down in the bosom of Abraham
You rock-a-my-soul
Down in the bosom of Abraham
You rock
And rock
And rock
Hey, Lordy, Lordy
Lord, rock-a-my-soul
Why don't you rock-a-my-soul
Well, the
rich man lived (well with glory and honor)
And he lived so well (won't you praise the Lord)
You know when he died (well with glory and honor)
He had a home in hell (he should have praised the Lord)
Repeat Chorus
Well, the
poor man Lazarus (well with glory and honor)
He was the poorest guy (won't you praise the Lord)
You know when he died (well with glory and honor)
He had a home on high (won't you praise the Lord)

Jesus walked
upon the earth on the shores of Galilee.
Said to his disciples, "Let the little children come to me."
I wonder if up in heaven, do you suppose was the scene
Little children asking, "What was I supposed to be?"
Chorus:
What was I supposed to be? What were my eyes supposed to see?
Why did I taste of death before I even drew a breath
or laid my head at my mother's breast to sleep?
Oh Jesus, what was I supposed to be?
Repeat Chorus
Would I be
a prophet used in the ministry?
A doctor who would find a cure for some terrible disease?
Even if I'd been born imperfect why couldn't my daddy see
that I'd a been made perfect when you came back for me.
Oh Jesus,
Repeat Chorus
Jesus- what
was I supposed to be?
Lay Down
Lead: Keith Lancaster
It's a cold,
cold world, that we're walking through,
Lay down the burden of your heart.
But it's warm as toast, walking two by two,
Lay down the burden of your heart.
Chorus:
Lay down the burden of your heart,
I know you'll never miss it.
Show your Father where it hurts,
And let your Father lift it.
Its a fine,
fine line between love and hate,
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart.
But you'll know it's love that He offers you,
Lay down the burden of your heart.
Repeat Chorus
(x2)
Show your
Father where it hurts,
And let your Father lift it.
Let's Get Together
Words and music are by Keith Lancaster, Bill Spencer, and Rodney
Britt ©1985 Anthony K. Music.
Lead:
Keith Lancaster
There are
too many Christians
Who don't talk to each other
They're not acting like brothers
They're not loving at all
They' refuse confrontation
They choose gossip and slander
For solutions meander
Well they're in for a fall
We can't
keep going on like this every day
Hear what I say
Chorus:
Let's get together
Let's stop the fighting
Let's start uniting
Whoa... Whoa.. Whoa..
Let's get together
Let's stop the fighting
Let's start uniting
Whoa... Whoa.. Whoa..
There're
too many people
Who don't know the Savior
They see our behavior
is not what is should be
So let's get together
No more fussing and fighting
We need love and uniting
To be one family
We can't
keep going on like this every day
Hear what I say
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
It's time we stop the fighting
And start giving our love to each other
Oh don't you know that they're never gonna
See how we're lovin' our Lord
Unless we're givin' our love to each other
Repeat Chorus
(x3)
