Under The Blood 02:33
lyrics
buy track
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.

Worth Shouting About 02:24
lyrics

Oh, I'm the strong and silent type, Never been one for emotional hype, I sail my ship, with a steady hand. No you won't find me jumping pews, But someday if you see me sitting next to you, There's one thing, you need to understand. CHORUS I feel like shouting every time I read, God loved me so much that He died for me. My sins are forgiven and forgotten for good, And Jesus is returning like He said He would. My future is determined and it's guaranteed, His blood bought a mansion and it's just for me. I'm telling you without a doubt, that's worth shouting about. INSTRUMENTAL I don't wear my heart on my sleeve, So if you see me cry, and wonder what it could be. I'm not sad, these are tears of joy. Cause I know who and what I was, Till I gave my heart to the Lord of love, He gave me a victory, death cannot destroy. CHORUS I'm telling you without a doubt, that's worth shouting about, Shouting about.

Bobby Prays 04:11
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.

God Chooses Who He Uses 03:49
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.

He Did 04:08
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.

There In Your Heart 03:19
lyrics
buy track
David's son, Solomon, was known as a mighty wise man. To hear him talk, the people'd walk from all across the land. Old Sol'd complain, all is vain, no matter what you do, Through the years, the fact is clear, it's not what you know, it's who. CHORUS It's gotta be there in your heart, not just in your head, You've got to know the man and not just the words He said. Wise men lay up knowledge, but salvation can't be read, It's gotta be there in your heart, not just in your head. The Pharisees were bad, you see their hearts were made of stone, They read the laws and kept them all, And added in their own. But Jesus cried "You're dead inside, For you know nothing of, The God of perfect justice is the Lord of perfect love." CHORUS You can read the Bible from cover to cover, But it won't cover sin, If Jesus is knocking at your heart's door And you don't let Him in. CHORUS Wise men lay up knowledge, but salvation can't be read, It's gotta be there in your heart, not just in your head.

Martha 03:02
lyrics

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.

Laughing All The Way To The Bank 03:24
lyrics
buy track
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.

That's All 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Hello Lord, I know it's been a while, We haven't talked like this since I was just a child. My life's a mess, I'm reaping what I've sown, I'm always on the run, but I feel like coming home. Lord, I'm glad I've got you on the line, Cause lately I've had something on my mind. CHORUS I know that I'm not worthy, but I'm praying anyway, I know I don't deserve the blessings you have sent my way. There's so much I could ask for, but that's not why I called, I just had to say I love you, that's all. Lord it hurts, with every tear I've cried, I've come to know your love, When they pierced your hands and side. What a hole I've dug for me this time, I'm not asking for escape, just give me strength to climb. Even when I set out on my own, I see now that I've never walked alone. CHORUS I search for ways to praise you, But my words all seem so small, I'll just have to say I love you, that's all.

Same Old Story 04:02
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.
