Every Day Is Made for Rejoicing

Every day is made for rejoicing;
Let's be rejoicing every day.
Every day is made for rejoicing;
Let's be rejoicing come what may.
Every day the Savior is near.
What greater joy can we know, so
Say goodby to sorrow and fear,
And let's be rejoicing today.

Just Wait and See What God Will Do

Just wait and see
What God will do.
You'll be surprised.
It's better than anything
You could have imagined
Hard as you tried.
Just wait and see
What God will do.

The Fishermen Were Washing Their Nets

Oh, the fishermen were washing their nets,
Peter and Andrew were washing their nets,
And James and John were washing their nets
When Jesus came to them.

Jesus said to them, "Could I borrow a boat?
The crowd is large and if I could float
Aways out on the sea, I could talk to them.
And they all could hear and see."

When he finished speaking, the crowd went away
He said to the fishermen, "It's still day.
Get back into your boats and cast your nets.
You'll find you have a catch."

Peter could not restrain a shout.
"Lord, do you know what you're talking about?
We've been fishing all night with nothing to show,
But we'll try if you say so."

So they got into their boats to try for a catch;
The fish were so heavy they were breaking their nets.
Peter cried, "Lord, leave us as fast as You can,
For I am a sinful man."

"Don't be afraid; I have a job for you.
It's not what you're used to, something new.
You're to follow me; I'll show you where and when,
And I'll make you fishers of men.

So they left their boats and they followed their Lord,
Living and preaching His Holy Word,
And the world was changed by the power of God
Everywhere they trod.

So you say you're discouraged, looking for something new.
Well, if you'll be patient with your due,
Some day when you're faithfully washing your nets
Jesus Christ will come to you.

Oh, the fishermen were washing their nets;
Peter and Andrew were washing their nets;
And James and John were washing their nets
When Jesus came to them.

I Don't Want to Be a Weed

I don't want to be a weed.
NO SIR!!
I just want to be wheat, a sheaf of wheat,
And play my part in the Kingdom of Heaven.
I'll be a sheaf of wheat.

I don't want to be a goat.
NO SIR!!
I just want to be a sheep, a gentle sheep,
And play my part in the Kingdom of Heaven.
I'll be a gentle sheep.

Where Shall I Turn?

I Am Nothing Without You, Lord

I am nothing without You, Lord.
I know nothing without You, Lord.
I can do nothing without You, Lord.
Lord, I am nothing without You.

Who's the Boss?

The mind of a man makes his plans
But the Lord directs his steps.
The way of a man is not within himself.
How long will it be, oh Lord,
'Till I accept this working out?
When will I look at my life
And say, "This is the Lord's?"

Stretch Forth Your Hand

Stretch forth your hand,
O child of God, O weary one.
Stretch forth your hand
That you might be restored.
In faith and hope
In childlike trust and confidence.
Stretch forth your hand
To Christ your Living Lord.

Mark 3

Lord, Make Me Teachable

Lord, make me teachable.
Lord, make me teachable.
Lord, make me teachable,
So it won't take so long for me to learn.

The Foolishness of God

The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His ways are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.
The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His way are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.

Naaman was a leper; He heard the prophet tell
"If you wash seven times in the Jordan, God says You will be well."
But Naaman didn't believe him, 'till he heard his servants say,
"If he'd given you something hard to do, you'd have done it right away.!"

The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His ways are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.
The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His ways are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.

Paul said, "If we set sail, we're in for trouble sure.
We're bound to lose our ship, and perhaps our lives as well.
But the sailors wouldn't listen,"What does this fellow know?
We are experienced seamen, and we should know when to go."

The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His ways are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.
The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His ways are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.

Christ said "The time has come, the time when I must die
When I go into Jerusalem," then He heard Peter cry,
"Oh, Lord that can't be true! I won't let you talk that way!"
Then Jesus said quite clearly, "That's just what the Devil would say."

The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His ways are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.
The foolishness of God is wiser than men.
His ways are not our ways for He can see right through to the end.

Bear Fruit

Bear fruit, bear fruit.
Let the seed go deep within you
Put down roots that grow into your soul.
Moisture from the Living Water
Warmth and light from the Son of God.
Let your roots grow deep and then bear fruit.

A seed is a little bit like a thought.
Something like "Wouldn't that be nice to do?"
Time and effort make the difference
'Tween that thought and a city zoo.
Let your roots grow deep, and then bear fruit.

Sometimes seeds are scattered on rocky ground. OH NO!
Sometimes seeds are choked about with thorns. WONT'T GROW!
Troubles, persecutions, pleasures,
Those poor seeds don't stand a chance.
Let your roots grow deep and then bear fruit.

Bear fruit, bear fruit.
Let the seed go deep within you
Put down roots that grow into your soul.
Moisture from the Living Water,
Warmth and light from the Son of God.
Let your roots grow deep and then bear fruit.

Hands

Hands, hands, hands, hands,
Hands, hands, hands, hands.
Hands can be so useful
Do so many things
Oh, what shall I do with my hands?

Raise my hand to speak -- YES!
Wave it in your face -- NO!
Use my hand to give -- YES!
Use my hand to steal -- NO!
Use my hand to hurt -- NO!
Use my hand to help -- YES!
That's what I'll do with my hands.

Chorus: Hands . . . .

Use my hand to write
Words so clear and neat.
Use my hands to clap
Just to say, "You're Great!"
Use my hands to carry
Books from the library.
That's what I'll do with my hands.

Chorus: Hands . . . .. .

Hands can be so useful
Do so many things
Oh, what shall I do with my hands?

Less of Me and More of Thee

Less of me and more of Thee,
Precious Saviour, hear my plea.
Every day help me to see, to see Lord
Less of me and more of Thee.

I'm Doing the Best That I Can

Today I'm a mean old grouch,
Nothing but a slouch.
I don't like what I am,
But I'm doing the best that I can.

Tomorrow the world may be gay
With everything going my way.
Life will be easier then,
But I'll just be doing the best that I can.

Why be so hard on myself?
Life's not lived on a shelf.
It must be lived day by day.
"That ain't easy," is all I can say.

So I'll pray for the mean old grouch.
In the meantime forgive myself.
God's still in charge, praise His Name
And I'll just keep doing the best that I can.

I'm Ready, Lord

I'm ready, Lord,
But what for?
My feet would be swift
But where should they go?
I'm searching and trying so hard to know.
I'm ready, Lord.
I'm ready, but what for?

Look, It's a New Day

Look, it's a new day.
Take a look, it's a brand new day.
It's a gift from my Father,
Lord, thank you for this new day.

Look, it's a new face,
Take a look, that's a brand new face.
It's a gift from my Father
Lord, thank you for that new face.

Look, it's a new thought.
Take a look, it's a brand new thought.
It's a gift from my Father.
Lord, thank you for this new thought.

You've Given Me a New Day

You've given me a new day,
A bright, shiny new day,
Almost too good to be true day,
A new day from God.

It's out of Your boundless love,
This new day from heaven above.
I'll try not to waste a moment of
This new day from God.

Constantly about my ears.
