Living Water is an interesting concept. Jesus said, “Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." Jesus went on to explain that by this He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. What an awesome promise! That if we believe in Christ, the Holy Spirit will live inside us and flow out to others. (John 7:38-39)

LYRICS:
Come you who are thirsty, come you who are hungry • I will lead you to drink of the river of life • Be washed in the fountain, be cleansed in the water • That flows from My mountain and never runs dry

(Chorus)
Children of the Father • Do not be dismayed • I AM your Living Water • Do not cast me now away

Come you who are thirsty, come you who are hungry • I will lead you to eat of the bread of life • This bread is My body, for you it was broken • It was given, your hunger to satisfy

(Chorus)

Have you trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? • In My Arms I’ll take and shield you, you will find a solace there

Come you who are tired, come you who are weary • In the house of My Father, find safety and rest • My yoke, it is easy, My burden’s not heavy • If you walk in My footsteps your heart will be blessed

(Chorus)

“In My Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.” (John 14:2-4)

There’s a road straight ahead everyone must travel • I will not fear or dread, for I’m not alone • In God’s Word, words in red help me to unravel • matted knots, tangled threads, of my journey Home

Someday I’ll have a room; someday I’ll wear a crown • Someday I’ll hear my Savior say, “Lay all your burdens down” • Someday I’ll know sweet peace, peace that is only found when I behold my Savior’s face • Someday I’ll wear a crown

Never doubt, never fear, for the Lord is leading • Always strong, always near, He will be your guide • If you fall, shed a tear, when you’re torn and bleeding • Call His Name, He will hear, He is by your side

Someday you’ll have a room; someday you’ll wear a crown • Someday you’ll hear the Savior say, “Lay all your burdens down” • Someday you’ll know sweet peace, peace that is only found when you behold the Savior’s face • Someday you’ll wear a crown

I will cherish the old rugged cross • Til’ my trophies at last I lay down • I will cling to the old rugged cross • And exchange it someday for a crown

“The Old Rugged Cross” George Bennard, 1913

“In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.” (Hebrews 1:10)

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small • All things wise and wonderful: the Lord God made them all • Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings; God made their glowing colors, and made their tiny wings

All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small • All things wise and wonderful: the Lord God made them all • The purple-headed mountains, the river running by • The sunset and the morning that brightens up the sky.

This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears • All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres • This is my Father's world: I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His Hand the wonders wrought

This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise • The morning light, the lily white, declare their maker's praise • This is my Father's world: He shines in all that's fair; • In the rustling grass I hear Him pass; He speaks to me everywhere

For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies • for the love which from our birth, over and around us lies • Lord of all, to Thee we raise, this our grateful song of praise.

This is my Father's world. O let me ne'er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet • This is my Father's world: why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad!

IT WILL BE JESUS - 3:53

If somebody asked you why you want to go to Heaven, what would you say? Something about streets of gold, mansions, harps, and clouds? Or is it the avoidance of Hell you are looking for? For me, there is only one answer. I long to see my Savior, because… well… I miss Him so much. Wherever He is, that is where I want to be.

I can hardly wait to walk on shining streets of gold • I can hardly wait to watch eternity unfold • I can hardly wait to see a city made of light • where there is no more crying, no more pain, and no more night

I can hardly wait to talk with Adam and with Eve • with Abraham and Isaac, and with all those who believe • Though my heart will thrill to see the glories of that land • they all will pale to nothing in the shadow of the Lamb

(Chorus)
It will be Jesus, it will be Jesus • He spilled His precious blood so with Him I can be • It will be Jesus, it will be Jesus • His love will make it heaven for me

I can hardly wait to see the dead in Christ arise • when countless clouds of angels spread across the eastern skies • When the Lord Himself descends from heaven with a SHOUT! • that will be the day we will forever sing about ...

(Chorus)

ON A FAR OFF HILL - 2:46
Music and Lyrics by Donna Cunningham

This song started as a “crossover” kind of song; pleasant instrumental music that could appeal to a secular or Christian audience. But the Lord had other ideas! This song is now a testimony about the One who loved me so much He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

There on a far off hill • Where the Lord Jesus lay so still • He, He was the Lamb of sacrifice • None other could suffice nor could they ever put a price upon the blood • The blood He spilled ...

There on a broken tree • Where my Lord Jesus died for me • He, from heaven’s glory did descend my transgressions to defend • I have no way to comprehend this love He has • He has for me ...

If I could count the stars, the ocean’s every wave • And study Scripture from my cradle to my grave • I know I’d never understand the love He gave • Why He would die, give up His lifeblood for me ...

There on a far off hill • Where my Lord Jesus lay so still • He, He was my Lamb of sacrifice • None other could suffice nor could I ever put a price upon the blood • The blood He spilled for me • He gave His life for me, it was for me • For all eternity I will be free ...

Our Savior died in agony… but rose in victory! “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” Because He died, we have the promise of life eternal. (1 Corinthians 15:55)

Our Lord has suffered in sorrow, torment, and agony • His blood brings hope for tomorrow triumph and victory

Celebration, let earth rejoice and tell • All creation worship Emmanuel

(Repeat)

Mercy and comfort and freedom He gives • Total dominion of heaven and earth is His!

Our Lord has risen in glory • Let all the nations sing! • Go tell the wonderful story • The war’s been won and death has no sting!

Our Lord has risen in glory, Christian, behold your King • Go tell the wonderful story, lift up your voice, lift up your voice • Lift up your voice and sing! • Just sing • Just sing • Sing unto the Lord!

Jesus quoted “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” Yet He also tells us to baptize new believers “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” The Trinity is a mystery that only heaven really understands. There are Three… but they are One, all deserving of our worship and praise. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29, Matthew 28:19)

Jesus I will worship You • Bow my knee and homage do • Let me bring my love to You • And I will praise You

Holy Spirit, comfort bring • Touch me with Your Spirit’s wing • Let my mouth Your praises sing • I will adore You

Father God in awe I stand • As You stretch Your mighty hand • Glorious wonder, power grand • I will exalt You

Blessed Trinity above • Fill me with Your perfect love • Father, Son, and Spirit Dove • Now I will worship Yo u ...

1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to "Pray continually." What a wonderful concept! We have a DSL line to the God of the universe, who is just waiting to listen to us. Not only will He listen, but "Before they call, I will answer," says our Sovereign Lord. (Isaiah 65:24)

Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer • That calls me from a world of care • And bids me at my Father's throne • Make all my wants and wishes known

In seasons of distress and grief • My soul has often found relief • And oft escaped the tempter's snare • By thy return, sweet hour of prayer

Whisper a prayer in the morning, Whisper a prayer at noon • Whisper a prayer in the evening, To keep your heart in tune

God answers prayer in the morning, God answers prayer at noon • God answers prayer in the evening, So keep your heart in tune

Someone’s praying, Lord, Kum-ba-yah • Someone’s praying, Lord, Kum-ba-yah • Someone’s praying, Lord, Kum-ba-yah • Oh Lord, Kum-ba-yah.

Hear our prayer O Lord; hear our prayer O Lord • Incline Thine ear to us and grant us Thy peace. Amen.

My heart joins the psalmist in crying out to Yahweh, our Lord, “Do not cast me from Your presence or take Your Holy Spirit from me…” (Psalm 51:11) In HIS Presence there is peace, safety, and rest. All we need to do is draw near to Him.

Holy Spirit, live in my heart • Let Your presence never depart • Rain down Your glory, let it flood my soul • Spirit of God, I give you control ... Take control

Nearer to You • Draw me nearer to You • Won’t You hold me close, safe within Your Arms • Nearer Lord to You.

You are righteous in Your glory • Your promises are true • Lord I long to be made holy • Change my heart to be like You –

Nearer to You • Draw me nearer to You • Won’t You hold me close, safe within Your Arms • Nearer Lord to You.

Fold me, O fold me, close to Thy breast • Shelter me safe in that haven of rest
