Two Boards & Three Nails 03:35
lyrics
buy track
I've prayed for a touch from my Savior, I've prayed for His healing and peace. Now I'm praying a prayer of thanksgiving, For the miracle God has done for me. CHORUS He fed five thousand with two fish and five loaves, He healed the bleeding woman with one touch of His clothes. I claim my own miracle, from the God who never fails, Cause He built me a mansion with two boards and three nails. I prayed Lord, please take me to heaven, I'll live a good life and I'll do my best. Then He said, "Child, you can't earn your salvation. Just love Me, and I'll do the rest." CHORUS You can claim your own miracle, from the God who never fails, And He'll build you a mansion with two boards and three nails.

God Chooses Who He Uses 03:47
lyrics
buy track
CHORUS God chooses who He uses, to do mighty deeds, The broken and ruined are all that He needs. It's not by your merit, what you do or say, God chooses who He uses to do His will His way. Remember old Moses who God called to lead His people from bondage to a land that was free. In his past there was murder, in his fear he had run. But there's no place to hide when God says "You're the one." CHORUS Paul thought he was righteous, with honor and pride, But God saw a blind man who was on the wrong side. Paul tortured the people who were following Christ, But God broke him and awoke him and showed him the light. CHORUS Now we all have failures that haunt us in dreams, We say God could never use someone like me. But read through your Bible and you might be surprised, Cause losers are winners when God's on their side. CHORUS God chooses who He uses, God uses who He chooses, God chooses who He uses to do His will His way.

Bobby Prays 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Bobby'd ride his bike right past our house each afternoon, He'd always wave at me and grin. Then rush to Bailey's diner and pick up his mop and broom, And say "Hi" to every person that walked in. Grownups would shake their heads and say it's such a shame, Mindless work is all he'll ever do. Bobby won't amount to much, he'll never make a name, But I knew something nobody else knew. Every Sunday morning I would sit near Bobby's pew, With yellow pad and pencil in he came. At prayer time we shared our concerns, there were always quite a few, And I watched as Bobby slowly wrote each name. CHORUS Bobby prays, everyday. Like a child talks to his daddy, he knows just what to say. Simple words, but that's O.K., I know God smiles everyday when Bobby prays. I grew up and moved away, and my life just turned out bad, Some days I could hardly stand the pain. So I packed my bags and moved back home with mom and dad, It was time to take a walk down memory lane. I strolled by Bailey's and stopped in for cherry pie, There was Bobby still pushing his broom. He came up and hugged me, said "I hope you feel fine, Cause everyday, Bobby prays for you." Then I had to wipe a tear because I finally saw, Bobby's got the most important job of all. CHORUS I know God smiles everyday ... when Bobby prays.

He Laid His Hammer Down 04:07
lyrics
buy track
He was just a common carpenter, grew up the small town way, He loved His mama, and He learned His father's trade. Thirty years He practiced, until He was the best, By any earthly standard a success. One day He closed the shop, said I have to go away, The whole world is waiting and I just cannot stay. Friends said, "He's finished," as they shook their heads and frowned, And watched Him slowly walk out of the town, But the work had just begun, when He laid His hammer down. CHORUS God works in many ways that we don't understand, We can see only part, but He sees His master plan. And the path He chose seems a crazy way to wear a crown, But the work had just begun, when He laid His hammer down. He was a just a common soldier, following commands, Proudly served his country, the greatest power in the land. He didn't choose who lived or died, went free or went to jail, But he was ready with his hammer and his nails. They brought the weary carpenter, beaten, bruised and scarred, He'd preached the word of love to a land whose heart was hard. His message made a difference, there was turmoil in the town, So the soldier laid his tools out on the ground. But the work had just begun, when he laid his hammer down. CHORUS 2 God works in many ways that we don't understand, We can see only part, but He sees His master plan. And the path He chose seems a crazy way to wear a crown, But the work had just begun, when God sacrificed His son, My salvation had begun, when He laid His hammer down.

With God I Can Do It 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Goliath had the soldiers a-shaking in their boots, Little David came and said "Hey, what is this?" The soldiers said "That giant, he's just way too big to hit." But David said, "He's way too big to miss." CHORUS With God (with God) I can do it, There's no challenge that's too big to overcome. With God (with God) I can do it, I'll just stand my ground and watch old Satan run. Paul had a problem called a thorn in his flesh, He prayed three times for it to go away. But God said "My grace is sufficient for you" And I can almost hear old Paul say ... CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL The devil came to torment and discourage me last night, He said I don't deserve to be alive. He told me I can never do the works I wanna do, I just raised my eyes to heaven and I cried CHORUS 2x I'll just serve the Lord until He says "Well done."

Walking The Walk 03:10
lyrics

CHORUS I'm walking the walk, me and Jesus side by side. Following the steps of the Father with the Spirit as my guide. It's true sometimes I stumble, but one fact can't be denied, Day by day and step by step I'm walking the walk. I can't say this life has been a stroll down shady lane, I've had my share of problems, perplexity and pain. But even when I'm struggling blind and lost without a clue, My Savior stands beside me and He always pulls me thru. CHORUS In my heart I'd like to be a hero of the faith, Somedays it seems that baby steps are all that I can take, I focus on the Father, and I follow where He leads, My faithful friend says to the end, He'll always walk with me, you see... CHORUS Gotta keep walking, gotta walk on, gotta keep, Gotta keep walking the walk. CHORUS Day by day, step by step, Day by day and step by step I'm walking. I've gotta keep walking, I'm walking the walk.

Same Old Story 04:04
lyrics

I'd heard the old, old story, since I was just a kid, Of Jesus and His glory, and all the things He did. But now there is a difference, for it came alive today, Oh it's still the same old story, I'm the one who's changed. CHORUS Same old story, brand new me. I claimed His promise, He set me free. I'm not the same as yesterday, Oh it's still the same old story, I'm the one who's changed. I see the hill of Calvary, where my Savior died, I feel the teardrops flowing, As blood flowed from His side . Then that blessed Easter morning, The angel rolled the stone away, And the Savior smiled upon this child, And I'll never be the same. CHORUS Yes it's still the same old story, But praise God, I'm changed, I'm changed.

Miracles Still Happen 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Sitting in the living room of my good friend's home, Sharing all the stories of the blessings we have known. Every one is different, but they prove without a doubt, That the God of love still loves us, and he loves to help us out. One friend tells of doctors that God has proven wrong, And there's a living testimony who should've been long gone. Another shares of hard times when the money had run out, 'Til an envelope without a note held just the right amount. CHORUS Miracles still happen everyday, They show up in the most amazing ways. If you choose to see life through the simple eyes of faith. Miracles still happen everyday. We may not see the dead rise up from the grave, But that doesn't mean that God's not working yet today. For the darkest heart, that's lost and dead in sin, With one touch from God, it will live again. CHORUS Miracles still happen ... everyday.

He Did 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Some days I don't feel like a bright and shining star, Leading others to the Lord, But I recall the call He placed upon my life, That quiet voice that cannot be ignored. CHORUS When I don't feel like singing, I do. When I don't feel like praying, I pray through. I see Jesus in the garden and I know the choice was His, When He didn't feel like dying for me, He did. Now please don't get me wrong, the fire still burns inside, I love Him more and more each day. I love the mountain tops when I'm basking in the Son, But I'll praise Him from this valley today. CHORUS He did not shun the torture of the cross, Cause He felt that I was worth all that it cost. CHORUS No He didn't feel like dying for me... But praise God, He did.

In The Palm Of Your Hand 02:36

Those hands that were pierced for me, still hold all eternity. Why You died so I might live, I don't understand. I want what You want for me, I'll follow Your plan. So Lord now I lay my life, in the palm of Your hand. CHORUS In the palm of Your hand, in the palm of Your hand. I lay my life, in the palm of Your hand. In the palm of Your hand, in the palm of Your hand. Oh Lord now I lay my life, in the palm of Your hand. INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS

Under The Blood 02:31
lyrics

I'm going over under the blood. There's coming a day, before God I'll stand, My life story, He'll hold in His hand. As He reads each page, He's gonna see red, Cause all my sins have been covered by the blood Jesus shed. CHORUS I'm going over under the blood, My sins have been washed pure white in the crimson flood, I can't wait to sink my toes in the Jordan mud. I'm going over under the blood. I tried to wash, my garment myself. Didn't think I needed anyone else. I tried to hide each stain, but they only grew, Till the day Jesus traded my old clothes for the new. CHORUS 2x I'm going over under the blood, under the blood.

Have You Prayed? 03:28
lyrics
buy track
So many times I often find I struggle with decisions, I don't know which path is best for me. So I begin to worry, then someone will ask that question, The one that always brings me to my knees. CHORUS Have you prayed, have you asked the One who knows what's best? Have you prayed, have you knelt before His throne with your request? When your path is hid in darkness, and you cannot find your way, It's time to ask the question, have you prayed? I see you smile, but all the while, I know your heart is hurting, And friend I know just what you're going thru. Doubts and dread, fill your head, and your future is uncertain, Hope is gone, now what can you do? CHORUS Why do we refuse to see, until things fall apart, A final try, one humble cry, is where we need to start. When your path is hid in darkness, and you cannot find your way, It's time to ask the question, have you prayed? God knows your heart, (He's waiting), have you prayed?

My Greatest Treasure 04:08
lyrics
buy track
I've had more blessings than I deserve, the Lord's been gracious to me. He meets my needs without a word, His mercy flows abundantly. God knew the path that I must walk and alone I'd never get through. When I need a reminder of how good God has been, I just turn and look at you. CHORUS You are my treasure, you're all I'm dreaming of. I know that I've been blessed, cause God chose the very best, My greatest treasure is your love. I can't forget the moment we met, I knew it was love from the start. I'm glad you could see what God saw in me, And finally let me win your heart. Through all these years of laughter and tears, I know Love has carried us through, When I need a reminder of how good God has been, I just turn and look at you. CHORUS I've never been one of the wealthy or the privileged, But riches here just fade away. The best this world can give is nothing when compared, To what God gives me everyday. REPEAT CHORUS My greatest treasure is, my treasure is your love.

He's Not There 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes my road seems rocky and I feel so all alone, My burdens weigh upon me, I can't make it on my own. Let me share with you a secret that's helped me through my life, A guiding light to follow through the darkest night. CHORUS You can climb the highest mountain, sail the seven seas, God is never farther than a trip to your knees. There's a tomb in Jerusalem, still empty and bare, God's everywhere, cause He's not there. This Savior that I'm serving, some say He's not the way, They point to other teachers, now resting in their graves. Wise sayings aren't sufficient, when I'm struggling to survive, I've got a friend beside me, cause my Savior is alive. CHORUS 2x There's a tomb in Jerusalem, still empty and bare, God's everywhere, cause He's not there. God's everywhere, cause He's not there.

God Gave Grace 03:59
lyrics
buy track
I grew up believing in a God who answers prayer, Anyone can call on Him, anytime or anywhere. So when I hit bottom, and fell down on my knees, I couldn't understand why God wouldn't listen to me. CHORUS I prayed for healing, Lord, take this pain away, I prayed for riches, look at these bills I've got to pay. I prayed for mercy, I can't take this pace, He heard my prayer, then God gave grace. I've learned my lesson, God hears every prayer, But He may not answer in a way I think is fair. He sees the picture, I could never see, He'll always gives all the strength that I need. CHORUS His grace is sufficient, I've heard that before, It was spoken to Paul, from the heart of the Lord. Now I've discovered, that promise is true, Every day that I live, only grace gets me thru. CHORUS God heard my prayer, then He gave... Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I'm found, Blind but now I see. God heard my prayer, then He gave, God gave grace.

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine; For Thee all the follies of sin I resign; My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now. I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me, And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree; I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow; If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

Martha 03:01

CHORUS Martha, Martha, you worry 'bout many things, Did the bread get made, the table get laid, And are those dishes clean. Martha, Martha, sometimes you've got to let it go, Just take a little lesson from Mary, child, She knows what matters most. Jesus came by to sit a spell and have a little bite to eat, He was speaking His mind to the fellas around, With Mary sitting at His feet. Martha's in the kitchen banging pots and pans, just about ready to blow, She's grumbling where is Mary now, just when I need her most. Meanwhile back in the other room, Mary liked what she heard, She loved the way this preacher talked, and hung on every word. Martha comes storming in the room, says "Lord, I need some help, Mary's just sitting here wasting time, while I'm slaving all by myself." And Jesus said... CHORUS I'd like to say there's not a day, that I fill Martha's shoes, In the up and down of day to day, sometimes I get confused. I'd love to sit by Mary's side, kneeling at Jesus' feet. But the words He said to Martha, are hitting home to me. Jesus said... CHORUS Just take a little lesson from Mary, child, She knows what matters most.

The Only Hope I Need 03:42
lyrics

My life was like a ship upon the ocean, The wind would blow and my sail was torn and tossed. I didn't know if I would make it, I wasn't sure that I could take it, And it seemed at times that all my hope was lost. Then I recalled a lesson from my childhood, About a man who gave His life for me, And I heard Him beckon to me, I felt His love flow through me, My blinded eyes were opened and I could finally see, that ... CHORUS The only hope I have, is the hope that lives in me, I've got Jesus in my heart and I can claim the victory. Oh, when troubles come and knock me to my knees, Oh, the only hope I have, is the only hope I need. It's been so long since I gave my life to Him, My future's in a hand that's scarred by nails. And I know that I'm not worthy, to ever see His glory If I had to earn my way to heaven, I would surely fail, So ... CHORUS Oh, when troubles come and knock me to my knees, Oh, the only hope I have, is the only hope I need.

In His Name 03:54
lyrics

John came to Jesus one day. He said, "Teacher, today we saw a man. He was casting out demons in Your name, The blasphemy was more than we could stand." "We told him that what he did was wrong, 'Cause he was not a part of your plan." Then Jesus sadly shook His head, He said, "How long until you understand." "Don't forbid the man to do the good, If the two of you don't look at things the same. If he is not against us he's our friend, And the mighty works he does are in my name." CHORUS In my name, you will see miracles, In my name, there's power to claim. I came to save the world, and all sinners are the same. So now together you can stand, united in my name. You'd think in all this time that we'd agree, The glory goes to God and not to man, The differences between us fade away, When we reach out to touch His holy hand. CHORUS 2 In His name, we will see miracles, In His name, there's power to claim. He came to save the world, and all sinners are the same. So now together we can stand, united in His name. CHORUS 2 In His Name.

The Day I'll Sin No More 03:31
lyrics
I start each day out with the same old dream, Lord, to be the man you'd have me be. I hear your voice when I read your word, And it's the sweetest sound I've ever heard. I strive to do your will as day goes on, But I guess my convictions aren't that strong. Oh Lord, I long for right, I long for you. But I see so much wrong in the things I do. CHORUS Oh, for the day when I will sin no more, To stand by Jesus on heaven's shore. I'll finally be the man I've never been before, Oh for the day, the day I'll sin no more. This world is not my home, I can't forget. But I fit in better than I like to admit. I feel your hand on me, Lord have your way Cause only you can see what I'm gonna be someday. CHORUS Oh for the day, the day I'll sin no more.

Laughing All The Way To The Bank 03:24
lyrics
People down here just laugh and call me crazy, They say I'm a fool and my feet don't touch the ground. But they won't be laughing when they see the Lord returning, And when the trumpet's blowing they're gonna hear another sound. CHORUS They'll hear me laughing all the way to the bank of the river Jordan. I won't need a slip to deposit my soul on the other shore. If you hear something funny on Judgement Day, Don't give a second look my way, It'll be me, laughing all the way to the bank. Everybody says I could make a lot more money, If I didn't let the truth get in my way. But they don't see I'm storing up my treasure, In a bank where moth don't eat and it won't decay. CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS If you hear something funny on Judgement Day, Don't give a second look my way, It'll be me, laughing all the way to the bank.

Hold Me 03:09
lyrics
I remember as a child, how I feared the stormy nights, The wind would pound upon my window pane. I'd jump out of bed, run to mom and daddy's room, With a quiver in my voice I would say... CHORUS Hold me, oh I need you, Wrap your arms around me, hold me tight. I won't ask you, to make the hard times go away, Just hold me, till this storm passes by. Now I'm not a child, but my fears are still the same, Though the storms I face are of a different kind. I still need to feel, a loving father's touch, So Lord please hear my heart's humble cry... CHORUS I won't ask You, to make the hard times go away, Just hold me, till this storm passes by, Jesus hold me, till this storm passes by.
