God came to me and said I’ll be your Friend
I’ll see you through if you’ll just trust Me to the end
Dark may be the road and you won’t see ‘round ev’ry bend
But I’ll be right beside you ev’ry day, all the way
I’ll be there to comfort you when things go wrong
When you are tempted I will make you strong
When there is sadness I will fill your heart with song
Believe me, I will be your Friend
If you would like Him to He’ll come and comfort you
Open your heart and let Him in
He’s waiting at your door, please make Him wait no more
You’ll never be alone again
He’s been beside me now for quite a while
He’s been the One To bring me though each trial
It’s not been easy but through it I can smile
I know that in His love He’ll care for me, and
He’ll be your Friend if you will ask Him to
He’ll stand beside you in all you do
He’ll see ev’ry morning offers something fresh and new
Believe me He will be your Friend

Keep Goin' Where His Spirit Leads
Luke 9:62
You gotta keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
Keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
You can’t look back or get off of the track
Just keep goin’ where His Spirit leads, keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
The Bible talks about a man named Lot who lived in a wicked town
Angels came to rescue him ‘cause Sodom was comin’ down
But as he left his home that day his wife looked back instead
A pillar of salt she then became, a monument to death
You gotta keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
Keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
You can’t look back or get off of the track
Just keep goin’ where His Spirit leads, keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
At Canaan’s borders Israel stood, to hear the spies report
Bearing Canaan’s favored goods, with bounties of every sort
But then some said, “We can’t go in, there’re giants in that land.
We can’t fight the Anakim, they’ll smite us where we stand.”
You gotta keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
Keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
You can’t stop now or take your hand from the plow
Just keep goin’ where His Spirit leads, keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
Sometimes I’m filled with fear and dread, the road seems long and slow
The devil tempts me to give in, and live for this world below
But then I think how Jesus came and walked this path before
With steadfast faith He paved the way, so I travel on some more
You gotta keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
Keep goin’ where His Spirit leads
You can’t stop now or take your hand from the plow
Just keep goin’ where His Spirit leads, keep goin’ where His Spirit leads,
Keep goin’ where His Spirit leads

I Praise The Name Of Jesus
I praise the name of Jesus
He’s the dearest Friend I know
He’s always there, He’ll always care
As I walk this road below
‘Cause He made me, and He saved me
When He died on Calvary
Jesus came here to be my Savior
And give me victory
Yes He bathed me, and He gave me
New life from heav’n above
His salvation’s for every nation
Accept His gift of love
I praise the name of Jesus
He’s the One that I adore
Enthroned in light with strength and might
Forever He’s my Lord
‘Cause He made me, and He saved me
When He died on Calvary
Jesus came here to be my Savior
And give me victory
Yes He bathed me, and He gave me
New life from heav’n above
His salvation's for every nation
Accept His gift of love
Accept His gift of love

Not Goin' Back (To Egypt)
I'm not goin' back to Egypt any more
'Cause that life's past like yesterday
I'm headin' toward that other shore and a brighter day
I'm not goin' back to Egypt any more
I'm not goin' back to Egypt any more
I've left for good and closed the door
I'm movin' on, I've said So long, can't wait for what's in store
I'm not goin' back to Egypt any more
I'm forgetting what's past and looking to what lies a head
I've chosen the way of my saving Lord
Through a desert land with a mighty hand He's led
I'm not goin' back to Egypt any more
I'm not goin' back to Egypt any more
I've left for good and closed the door
I'm movin' on, I've said So long, can't wait for what's in store
I'm not goin' back to Egypt any more

Not The Same Man
I’m not the same man that you used to know
Since the Lord made His love known to me
He cleansed me from sin, gave me peace within
I’m not the same man that I used to be
I’m not the same man tryin’ to get all I can
I’m not the same man who thought only of me
I’m not there today, but thank God I can say
I’m not the same man that I used to be
Old things from the past don’t attract anymore
There are things I no longer care to see
Though tempted and tried, I’ve got joy inside
‘Cause I’m not the same man that I used to be
I’m not the same man tryin’ to get all I can
I’m not the same man who thought only of me
I’m not there today, but thank God I can say

Someday Will Be One Day Soon
Someday we’ll see His face in glory
Someday we’ll meet the Lamb
Someday we’ll tell the story
Of His grace, the great I Am
Someday no more graveyard gloom
Someday we’ll meet again
Someday will be one day soon
Heaven will begin
Someday will be one day soon
Someday our Lord will come
Someday maybe night or noon
Someday when day is done
Long ago the prophets told us
Jesus Christ would come again
Someone Who truly loves us
Coming back in glory then
How the hearts of saints have yearned
For that someday to be here
To be alive at His return
Someday when He appears
Someday will be one day soon
Someday our Lord will come
Someday maybe night or noon
Someday when day is done

Mercy Made A Way
Oh the love of Jesus, He took my place that day
I was burdened for years with heartaches and tears,
But mercy made a way
Mercy made a way, mercy made a way
I was sinking in sin but He took me in, yes
Mercy made a way, mercy made a way.
Then one day I’ll meet Him and gaze upon His face
I will love Him so and surely I’ll know
That mercy made a way
Mercy made a way, mercy made a way
I was sinking in sin but He took me in, yes
Mercy made a way, mercy made a way, mercy made a way.

Jesus My Savior And Friend
I went from darkness into His light
When I was born again
Saved from my blindness he gave me sight
When I believed in Him
He changed my heart
Re-arranged every part of my life
On Him I depend
I went from loneliness into His arms
Jesus my Savior and Friend
In place of sadness He gave me hope
When I was born again
He took the fragments and made me whole
When I believed in Him
He changed my heart
Re-arranged every part of my life
On Him I depend
I went from loneliness into His arms
Jesus my Savior and Friend
Don’t be afraid to let Him come in
Then you’ll be born again
Jesus has made provision for sin
Won’t you believe in Him
He’ll change your heart
Re-arranged every part of your life
On Him you’ll depend
Run from your loneliness into His arms
Jesus your Savior and Friend
