I Can't Wait 02:57
Our preacher told a story about heaven so sweet, It brought a tear to my eye. He talked about the mansions and the golden streets, That we're gonna see when we die. He said that we can join in with that angel band, singing unending praise. I got so excited, that I jumped to my feet, And everyone around heard me say... CHORUS I can't wait 'til heaven to be happy, Now seems like the perfect time to praise the Lord. There's no time to waste, I wish I'd started yesterday, Cause I've got so much I want to thank Him for. Ever since I felt His touch of blessing, There's overflowing joy down in my soul. Heaven is my goal, but while I'm here below, I'll have to praise His name, I can't wait. I see a lot of Christians just looking so sad, Their chins are dragging the ground. They know the Lord is good, but their times are bad, And day to day life's got them down. Now don't misunderstand me, cause I'm not blind To the problems here below, When I get discouraged I just pray to the Lord, And think about my heavenly home. CHORUS The devil comes to me and tries to steal my joy away, The Bible tells me that the battle's been won, and the victory is mine to claim. CHORUS My name is on the roll, but while I'm here below, I'll have to praise His name, I can't wait.

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.
3.
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.
4.
Well you may say I'm old-fashioned, and you might call me a fool, Cause I still believe the Bible is God's word, and it's all true. The way my parents raised me, has kept me away from harm, Cause mama stood on the rock of ages as she held me in her arms. CHORUS I was raised on the rock, didn't set my feet on shifting sand. Mama taught me right and wrong from the Bible in her hand. Now I'm part of the flock, and we're following Jesus to gloryland, Ain't no stumbling stone to me, I was raised on the rock. Now my mom's a grandma, I've got children of my own, But her old familiar teachings, are still studied in our home. When I need assistance, I still use mama's way, I just open up the Bible and see what Jesus has to say. CHORUS 2X Ain't no stumbling stone to me, I was raised on the rock. Ain't no stumbling stone to me, I was raised on the rock.

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.
6.
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
7.
I don't know the hour, I don't know the day, When the Lord's returning, to take me away. Well I know some people who doubt what they can't see, But I read it in the Bible and that's good enough for me. CHORUS God's holy scriptures, have always been true, And Jesus did just what the prophets said He would do. When Gabriel's blowing, all the doubters will believe, But I read it in the Bible and that's good enough for me. Some folks, they tell me, they think that I'm naive, Cause the Holy Bible, is what I believe. Well I've had some hard times, too many to forget, But I put my faith in Jesus and He's never failed me yet. CHORUS When Gabriel's blowing all the doubters will believe, But I read it in the Bible and that's good enough for me. I read it in the Bible and that's good enough, I read it in the Bible and that's good enough, I read it in the Bible and that's good enough for me.

I've got a friend who is closer than a brother, He's there for me anytime day or night. And when I'm hurting, He lets me cry on His shoulder, In His arms I know I'm gonna be all right. I've talked to Him, sometimes it's been for hours, But He never grows too tired to hear my heart. And I've known Him for as long as I can remember, And He promised we will never be apart. CHORUS Oh I love Him, and He loves me, We've walked side by side, though we've never met. And I know that I will be with Him forever, Yes, I know Him, I just haven't seen Him yet. Someday my days on earth will all be over, And I'll close my eyes one final time to sleep. But when I open them on the other side of Jordan, His face will be the first sight that I see. CHORUS Yes, I know Him, I just haven't seen Him yet.

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."
10.
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.
11.
CHORUS He's my light, and my salvation, I've got nothing to fear, Though the devil comes roaring like a lion to devour me, I know that God is always near. When I give Him control of my heart and mind and soul, My darkest days start to clear. He's my light, and my salvation, I know that God is always near. In the lion's den, it was looking like the end, Old Daniel prayed, "Lord, what now?" Because he stood his ground, God sent an angel down, And shut those lion's mouths. CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL Things weren't going well, in the prison cell, Where Peter awaited trial. Then light shone all about, an angel led him out, And God came through in style. CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS I know that God is always near. I know that God is always near.
