Noah And His Family Were Saved - Noah
Words and Music by Gary Miller and Hank Fenn
Well the world was wicked
Sin polluting the land
Satan ruled the hearts and minds of man
God saw light in Noah's clan
He knew that Noah would follow His plan
Where on
earth is faithfulness?
A faith that God will bless?
Chorus:
Noah and his family obeyed
Noah and his family were saved
Two by two
all creatures comin' on board
Noah and his family and then God shut the door
For forty days and nights the floodwaters they poured
And everything living on earth was no more
Where on
earth is faithfulness?
A faith that God will bless?
Chorus
Ararat -
the ark at rest - the water subsided
Now they're standin' on dry land and celebration minded
A victory - God saw their faith - a way he provided
A better way, a rainbow sign keeps us reminded
Man After God's Own Heart - David
Words and Music by Gary Miller
There was a giant of the philistine nation
A mighty warrior standing ten feet tall
He shouted boastings that no Israelite could beat him
He was ungodly and as mean as his sin
A boy named
David stepped up to the situation
Goliath's threats became a godly call
He chose some stones, and with God's force started slingin'
He knew by faith the victory he would win
Chorus:
He was a man after God's own heart
He had a faith that set him apart
He showed commitment right from the start
He was a, he was a, he was a man after God's own heart
There was
a king of the Israelite nation
Tall, dark and handsome, rich - his name was Saul
Lost his anointing due to sin's impatience
He disobeyed the Lord and next was his fall
The Lord
called David to the situation
He was a young man, but he heard God's call
He'd be anointed, he'd be Saul's replacement
To lead God's nation, holy chosen of all
Chorus
Israel surrounded
by the heathen nation
Edom and Moab and the Philistines
Their bloody swords dripping annihilation
Numbers and power seemed they had it all
David the
man of God addressed the situation
Gave thanks and praised the Lord all powerful
He stressed his faith among the congregation
Wherever David went the Lord helped him win
She Loves Jesus - Mary Magdalene
Words and Music by Gary Miller
There she lies, a sea of tears in her eyes
Washed away by sins she'd come to despise
Drowing deep in her deception and lies
She needs Jesus, she needs Jesus
How can she take a walk in the light?
How can she ever see what is right?
How can she escape the darkness of night?
She needs Jesus, she needs Jesus
Who would
ever take this woman back?
Who would ever give her half a chance?
Now she
kneels, a sea of tears from her eyes
To wash his feet and with her hair she will dry
His compassion and forgiveness her prize
She meets Jesus, she meets Jesus
How can she compare to faithful and wise?
How can she ever be justified?
How can she expect to be sanctified?
She meets Jesus, she meets Jesus
Mary lived
a legacy
Her message left at Calvary
He set her free
Here she
stands, a sea of tears in her eyes
Above her head, her precious Friend crucified
Gently comforting the Lord as he dies
She loves Jesus, she loves Jesus
How can she stand with him as she cried?
How can she see her loved one denied?
How can she feel the spear in his side?
She loves Jesus, she loves Jesus
Jesus said
he'd take this woman back
Jesus promised her a second chance
John Wrote The Churches - Apostle John
Words and Music by Gary Miller
Chorus:
John wrote the churches
He said love one another
Love one another in the Lord
The Lord
so carefully chose twelve, his steps to follow
Their path would lead them into times of joy and sorrow
But in the end we see just one with Jesus suffering
One with the Lord in faith and hope and holy loving
Chorus
The Lord
saw love as number one in John's behavior
He knew that love would teach the world about the Savior
He drew John close to Peter, James and taught them fully
To turn the world around with love that's true and holy
Chorus
As Jesus
died he took compassion on his mother
Her care he gave into the hands of John his brother
John was the one, he had the love, he knew the Spirit
To love the Lord and lead the church and not to fear it
Moses Was A Man Of God
Words and Music by Gary Miller
Chorus:
Moses was a man of God
Moses was a man of God
He's walkin's side by side
And in his will abide
Pharaoh's
heart was hard against the Lord
He slaughtered Israel's baby boys
One was saved from the heathen sword
Faith just couldn't be destroyed
By God's
design Moses lived his life
An the palace of the king
It was a holy sign, he's the royal line
He is a servant of the King of Kings
Chorus
When Moses
realized he was an Israelite
And found out Yahweh had a plan
He heard his people's cry, he surely knew their plight
E had to lead them to the promise land
Through
the Lord's inisitence
Moses showed resistance
I guess he was afraid to go
?????????????????????
He had a power faithful God to show
Chorus
They wandered
in the wilderness of sin
Their faith in God was really a mess
But Moses's faith held true, he really pulled them through
A faithful man the word confessed
We know
that in the end he didn't enter in
He left the earth from Mt. Nebo
A great example though of godly selfless love
And yes the Lord did love him so
Chorus
Enoch Walked With God - Enoch
Words and Music by Hank Fenn
Living by faith
Is a thing that's hard to do
Enoch was a man
Whose faith was strong and true
For 300 years Enoch
Walked with God each day
Then he was no more
For God took him away
Chorus:
God took Enoch from this life
He was gone from earth but he did not die
Enoch's steadfast saving faith
Pleased God and he took him away
Faith is
belief in God
Though he can't be seen
And without faith
He is impossible to please
For God rewards those
Who seek him earnestly
And as he did with Enoch
He will take them away
Father Abraham - Abraham
Words and Music by Kevin Schaffer and Gary Miller
He roamed the desert looking for a home
The only thing he knew was God said go
He didn't question when or why or where
He knew Jehovah was already there
Chorus:
Father Abraham, you trusted God no matter the plan
Father Abraham, all you needed was a word from the Great I Am
Father Abraham, you always kept God's promises in your hand
Father Abraham, I've always wanted to step out on faith, now I know I
can
Thank you father Abraham
A holy angel
spoke about a son
Sarai laughed she said it couldn't be done
But she and Abraham chose to trust the Lord
And nine months later their baby boy was born
Chorus
Your only
son was to be sacrificed
What would you do, what would you tell your wife?
You knew you had to do what God had said
Y faith in God you knew he'd come back from the dead
Chorus
How much
God must have loved you at that moment
Knowing soon he'd have to do the same
Through your son you were blessed
Your faith was counted as righteousness
Through his Son the world is saved
Sarai, Sarah - Sarah
Words and Music by Hank Fenn and Gary Miller
A child of God, the wife of Abraham
She served the Lord, by the way she served her man
Through many trials, her faith withstood the test
For ninety years she followed God
And her life was blessed
By faith her life was led
And the promise of God was kept
Chorus:
Sarai: though you're barren
Sarah: you'll give birth to a son
Sarah: you'll be blessed by God
You're mother of nations
Kings of people will come from you
A mother
now to the son of Abraham
God was good to Sarah, just as he had said
They gave the name Isaac to the son
Sarah said laughter now has come
Through this little one
By faith her life was led
And the promise of God was kept
Like the
starts in the sky
Like the sand by the sea
Chorus
Wildman
John - John The Baptist
Words by Chris Gubelman and John Laws.
Music by John Laws and Gary Miller
Ever wonder what the Pharisees might have had to say about John the Baptist?
"Oy! We saw that wild man in the desert today. I'd like to meet
his tailor and smack him but good! And what with his hair all over the
place! He calls us a mess?! Snakes he's calling us! And what is that stuff
he's eating there? Well, it's kind of an acquired taste, but if you
can learn to like wild honey, you've got to try the bees. I'm kind of
partial to locusts myself only thing is I hate it when their little legs
get stuck in your teeth."
Well, he's
John the Baptist from the wilderness
What he's been doin' is anyone's guess
His kind of preachin' really cuts like a knife
Says the Lord is comin' better change your life
"Yep,
you better believe it. What do you know...you've been under the sun
too long! We are the children of Abraham! Hah! God can make children
of
Abraham out of these
rocks! I think you got a few of them in your head...If I were you, I would
repent and bear fruit... I'd rather bear a fruit then be a fruit.
Hey! Come
here! Do you wanna go for a swim? Get away from me!"
Chorus
In our pursuit
of the truth
How often we are deceived
By trusting only that which we see
Would the unsearchable God
Merely show me his will
Through only those who look like me?
If it's
the glory of Kings to search things out
And the glory of God to conceal
Then a wildman prophet would be no more absurd
Than the manger King he reveals
Chorus
Song For Joseph - Joseph
Words and Music by Gary Moyers
His mother was the favored one, eleventh born of Dad's twelve sons
He always seemed his father's favorite child
He was the son of Dad's old age and the center of his brother's rage
A jealousy they could not reconcile
His brothers
felt it was unfair, the dreams of Joe they could not bear
Their father's love they would not understand
A precious coat would clinch the deal, but Reuben said they could not
kill
So they sold young Joe into a foreign land
Chorus:
He walked the path that God had laid
Though he could not see the end of that long road
Through the years he kept the faith
And that is why I sing this song for Joe
Ho wound
up in Egyptian land, the life of slaves he learned firsthand
As servant to the captain of the guard
All was good that he began so the captain made young Joe headman
He began to think this life was not that hard
But the
captain's wife had other plans, thinking Joe a handsome man
Her propositions came to no avail
Incensed because he would not sin, she set him up and turned him in
So they threw him in the Pharaoh's darkest jail
Chorus
Once again
the Lord was there, they put the jail in young Joe's care
And everything he touched seemed to gleam
He met two men from Pharaoh's court, they began a good rapport
And God helped him interpret all their dreams
This led
to an opening and young Joe heard the dreams of kings
There would be a famine in the land
He gave the Pharaoh's good advice, and Pharaoh saw that he was wise
So he made young Joe the second in command
Chorus
He wondered
how his family was, and did his father live?
He prayed that God would watch over his home
He realized the trials he'd had were all within God's plan
When His brothers came and bowed before his throne
