Welcome

Hi! Welcome to my blog! The purpose of this page is to uplift Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord through word and music. I hope you enjoy these songs I’ve written in praise of Christ. Some are fast, some are slow, but they all come from my heart. To play the music, simply click on the links below the lyrics. When the dialogue box opens, you can either play immediately, or save to your computer.You are invited to make any non-commercial use of these songs you wish. If you’re blessed, pass them on. If you sing, download a track and sing to it at your church. Do your kids sing, or do you have a kids’ choir in your church? Take a listen to some of the kids' songs.

Thanks for visiting, and come back soon, as I’ll be adding more to the page from time to time. (Songs not visible on the opening page can be accessed by clicking on the titles on the right side of the page, or on "older posts". Be sure to look at the ones posted in May and June.) God bless! By His grace, and for His glory, John Anderson

Clap Our Hands

First we’ll turn around then we’ll touch the ground
Then we’ll clap our hands and say amen (amen!)
We’ll blink our eyes and we’ll reach for the skies
Then we’ll clap our hands and say amen (amen!)

We’re all God’s children in this big wide world
And He wants to be our Friend
So we’ll open the door and let Him be Lord
Then we’ll clap our hands and say amen (amen!)

We’ll wear a smile and we’ll walk a while
Then we’ll clap our hands and say amen (amen!)
We’ll say "How to you do?" and sing Hallelu
Then clap our hands and say amen (amen!)

We’re all God’s children in this big wide world
And He wants to be our Friend
So we’ll open the door and let Him be Lord
Then we’ll clap our hands and say amen (amen!)
We’ll clap our hands and say amen (amen!)

Long, Lonely Road

It was a long, cold, lonely road to Calvary
He paid the cost on a cruel cross to set the world free
He reconciled every wandering child by dying on the tree
It was a long, cold, lonely road to Calvary

Calvary, Calvary, Calvary

It was a long, cold, lonely road to Calvary
When He died He satisfied the sinner’s penalty
His blood flowed down to the ground a river of life for me
It was a long, cold, lonely road to Calvary
It was a long, cold, lonely road to Calvary

Praise Him More

Praise Him, praise Him more
Praise Him, He’s my Lord
I want to praise Him, praise Him with a song
In the morning when I rise, in the evening with sunset skies
I will praise Him all day long

Praise Him, praise His name
From age to age, He’s the same
Praise Him, let His praise ring
Praise the name of Jesus, praise the way He leads us
I will praise Him, He’s my King

Jesus is worthy of praise, He created all
I stand in wonder, I am amazed, at His feet I humbly fall

See Him, I want to see His face
I’ll be singing, "saved by grace"
I want to see Him, see Him soon I pray
When the skies unfold, when our eyes behold
I will see Him on that day

Jesus is worthy of praise, He created all
I stand in wonder, I am amazed, at His feet I humbly fall

Praise Him, praise Him more
Praise Him, He’s my Lord
I want to praise Him, praise Him with a song
In the morning when I rise, in the evening with sunset skies
I will praise Him all day long
I will praise Him all day long

Lord Above

Lord above, Creator of all space
Send Your love as we’ve come to seek Your face
Bless us with Your grace as we’ve come this holy hour
Fill us with Your mighty strength and power

Lord of light, Designer of the world
Please end this night and take us safely home
Where we’ll worship all our days and lift our songs of praise
With angel choirs before Your throne

Lord divine, please hear us as we pray
My Your glory shine and light the darkened way
Cleanse our hearts and minds so they’re sanctified and new
Change our sinful lives to be like You

Lord of light, Designer of the world
Please end this night and take us safely home
Where we’ll worship all our days and lift our songs of praise
With angel choirs before Your throne
With angel choirs before Your throne

Be Baptized

I’m gonna be baptized like brother Saul
Gonna be baptized, forsaking all
I’m gonna be baptized for Him, Who died for me
I’m gonna leave my sin in the watery grave
I’ll have peace within through the cleansing wave
I’m gonna be baptized with Him in victory

The stain is washed away by the blood of the Lamb
Who died that day with nails in His hands
And bore our sins on Calvary
He paid the price, sing glory to His name
He’s the Sacrifice that covers our shame
I’m gonna be baptized and live eternally

I’m gonna be baptized’ cause He asked me to
Gonna be baptized and become brand new
I’m gonna be baptized in the river of His grace
I’m gonna follow my Lord when I walk
Gonna praise Him more, when I talk
I’m gonna be baptized for the Savior today

The stain is washed away by the blood of the Lamb
Who died that day with nails in His hands
And bore our sins on Calvary
He paid the price, sing glory to His name
He’s the Sacrifice that covers our shame
I’m gonna be baptized and live eternally
I’m gonna be baptized and live eternally
