Listen To Him
Keith Lancaster (Anthony K Music copyright © 1990 ASCAP)
Lead: Gary Moyers

Peter went with James and John
Jesus led them to a mountain
A voice from heaven said
A voice from heaven said to them

"Listen to Him"
You gotta listen to Him
You gotta listen to Him

His shining face like the sun
His shining face shone to everyone
His clothes became as white
His clothes became as white as light

Listen to Him
You gotta listen to Him (listen to Him)
You gotta listen to Him (listen to Him)

Moses and Elijah talking there with Jesus
A cloud enveloped them
Terrified. the disciples face down to the ground
Looked up and the only one they found was Jesus
Glorified, Glorified

This is My Son whom I love
This is My Son whom I love
With Him I am well pleased
With Him I am well pleased
Listen to Him

You better listen to Him (listen to Him)
Wo listen to Him (listen to Him)
Listen, listen. listen because:

This is My Son whom I love
This is My Son whom I love
With Him I am well pleased
With Him I am well pleased
Listen to Him


Rescue

Lead: Wayburn Dean

Lord You know everything I've done
Every thought I've had, You know every one
And Lord, you know every time I fall
Still You come to my rescue when I call

Lord You hear every idle word.
Every thoughtless deed. how it seems absurd
That Lord You give. not what I am due
But mercy; You come to my rescue

You come to my rescue, rescue
You come to my rescue. rescue

Lord You care and You've become my friend
Amazing love whose boundaries have no end
And Lord You show what a greater love can do
By being there for my rescue

And Lord I give all that I can give
All of my heart as long as I shall live
So Lord, oh Lord, I just want to thank You
For coming, coming to my rescue

You come to my rescue, rescue
You come to my rescue, rescue

It's hard to tell You how I feel
It's hard to tell You just how grateful I am
But I'm still gonna make it show
With every breath gonna let You know

I am accepting though I can't comprehend
How I could be worth the cost
When I was bound. despised and lost

Lord I give all that I can give (all my heart)
All of my heart as long as I shall live
So Lord, oh Lord, I just want to thank You
For coming, for coming to my rescue

You come to my rescue, rescue
You come to my rescue, rescue


Life
Keith Lancaster (Anthony K Music copyright © 1990)ASCAP
Lead: Gary Moyers

Restless folks live restless lives
but the Father hears their cries
He can feel the sorrow they feel
Jesus came to empathize more than you can realize
Offering a life that is real

Since He came to give us (life)
There's been nothing like this (life)
I'm complete within His life
Such a source of healing (life)
Simple truth revealing (life)
There's no other feeling life

Many who have heard His voice
often fail to make the choice
Giving Him the total control
Burdens He could take today
they will carry anyway
Hopelessly to pilot their souls

Since He came to give us (life)
There's been nothing like this (life)
I'm complete within His life
Such a source of healing (life)
Simple truth revealing (life)
There's no other feeling life

Giving us life. His life. There's no other life
He's giving us life. oh yes He's giving us life -There's no other life

There's no need for living down when there's happy life around
Look at what the Master has done
Come along and you will see you can sing along with me
This is why the Savior has come

Since He came to give us (life)
There's been nothing like this (life)
I'm complete within His life
Such a source of healing (life)
Simple truth revealing (life)
There's no other feeling life


Who Is Gonna Tell The Child?
(Clifty Music BMI / Anthony K Music ASCAP copyright © 1990)
Lead: George Pendergrass

CHORUS
Who is gonna tell the child about Jesus
Who is gonna tell the child about God?
Well I believe, I believe it's my responsibility to
Tell the child about God
See that child, standing on the comer,
Wondering which way to go
Should he go left, should he go right?
I believe the child really ought to know now

Chorus

See that child, his life is a mess
You wonder what's inside of his head
If someone doesn't tell him 'bout the love of the Lord
You know he's gonna wind up dead

Chorus

Who'll tell the children?
Who'll lend a hand? (Who'll lend a hand?)
Their way is hopeless Without the Man
Think about it

Can't you see that boy hanging in the streets
Trying to do the best he can?
If he only knew he has a Father who cares
I believe he'd grow to be a better man

Chorus


Everybody Said (But Nobody Did)
Keith Lancaster (Anthony K Music copyright © 1990) ASCAP
Lead: George Pendergrass

CHORUS
Everybody said that anybody could do
The important things somebody should do
Everybody knows that anybody could do
All the good things that nobody did

Well the preacher came to me and said what I ought to do
If I wanted to make my religion true
He'd do it himself but he really didn't have the time
He said that the duty was mine

Chorus

Well the deacon came by and said give me a hand
If you want to be going to the promised land
Here is something that I don't have time to do
So I better give it to you

Chorus

Well I'm too busy so I tell everybody
The work's got to get done by somebody
It could be done by just anybody But nobody did

Chorus

All the good things that nobody did


It Is Good For Us To Be Here
Keith Lancaster (Anthony K Music Copyright © 1990) ASCAP
Lead: Wayburn Dean

It is good for us to be here
Praise the Lord
And it's good to sing His praises
Praise the Lord
Give your praise to God on high
Lift your voices to the sky

It is good to be with brothers
In His church
And it's good to build up others
In His church
There's no greater joy to be
Part of Jesus' family

It is good to be with Jesus
And with friends who truly need us
Loving arms that will receive us
Making it clear
It is good to look to heaven
Having all our sins forgiven
We enjoy the life we're living
Having Him near

It is good for us to be here
Praise the Lord
And it's good to sing His praises
Praise the Lord
Give your praise to God on high
Lift your voices to the sky

There's no greater joy to be
Part of Jesus' family!


That Could Have Been Me
Wayburn Dean & Keith Lancaster (Anthony K Music copyright © 1990) ASCAP
Lead: Duane Adams

All the people who are living in the cold
With no direction, no place to call their own
Lacking proper shelter, pain is all they see
It humbles me completely just to know that could have been me

CHORUS
That could have been me (that could have been me)
That could have been me
Pain and the tears, relief unknown
Questioning why was I ever born ..
That could have been me (that could have been me)
That could have been me

Starvation in our world is bringing grief
All the blindness, famine and disease
I should never take for granted my health, prosperity
When I know I could have been the one with no one to rescue me

Chorus

That could have been me with the homeless
Not enjoying a happy home
That could have been me with the dying all alone
Though I know it's not my destiny
I've been spared from this much misery
I reach out and try to offer some relief

In slavery the miners want a say
Work till sundown just for pennies a day
Though my skin is not that color, it's obvious what's right
So against ungodly treatment I am willing to join the fight


Take It Away
Keith Lancaster (Anthony K Music copyright © 1990) ASCAP

Hearts relating to the message waiting
For the contemplating souls today
Search to borrow any hope tomorrow
And divert the sorrow far away

CHORUS
Take it away (no more sorrow)
Take it away

Hopeful wishin' from a sad condition
That your next decisions show the way
Men aspire just to take them higher
But the Justifier has the say

Chorus

No more sorrow, take it away
No hope tomorrow, not unless you take it away

Hearts relating to the message waiting
For the contemplating souls today
Search to borrow any hope tomorrow
And divert the sorrow far away

Chorus

No more sorrow, take it away
No hope tomorrow, not unless you take it away


That They May All Be One
Keith Lancaster (Anthony K Music copyright © 1990)ASCAP
Lead: George Pendergrass

Chorus
That they may all be one
That they may all be one
The Lord is praying for His church
That they may all be one

He prayed in the garden for His disciples
He prayed for all the blessings they would receive
Oh Righteous Father, I look toward heaven
I pray for unity for those who believe in Me

We're sharing the Story, You have given me glory
That only comes from heaven above
I want those You've given me in our presence there to be
Manifested by our love

Chorus

His prayer continued for those coming after
His prayer of longing for the unity
Then they'd believe us, our God sent Jesus
The Holy Father has loved them that the world might see

The Lord said, Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened
And I will give you rest
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble
In heart and you will find rest for your souls

All those who believe in Me in our presence there to be
Manifested by our love

That they may all be won
That they may all be won
The Lord is praying for the world
That they may all be won

The Lord is praying for His Church
That they may all be one


I Have A Friend

Arrangement by George Pendergrass / Gary Moyers / Duane Adams / Wayburn Dean / Keith Lancaster
(Clifty Music BMI / Anthony K Music ASCAP copyright © 1990)
Lead: George Pendergrass

I have a friend, they call Him Jesus
I have a friend, the angels praise His name
When I was down He lifted all of my burdens
He touched my life and now I'm not the same

Oh Master may our voices ascend beyond the stars to thee
We thank You with our lives and praise You with the songs we sing

I have a friend who'll solve your problems
Don't worry 'bout paying Him, to love Him is His fee
And when life's road seems rough and gloomy
He said don't worry my child, just put your trust in Me

Lord like the gentle breezes, please let Your Spirit comfort me
With You I'm not alone -You're everything I'll ever need

I have a friend
Who went to Calvary
He said I'll die
But I'll show I'll rise again

I have a friend they call Him Jesus
I have a friend
And the angels praise His name
