A LITTLE TASTE OF HEAVEN
Chorus
Heaven, I've had a little taste of heaven,
I've had a little touch of heaven,
I've had a little glimpse of heaven want to go where the milk and honey flow
No more sorrow pain or woe,
I've had a little taste of heaven and I want to go there, I want to go there.
Verse 1
My treasure was in earthly things until one night in prayer
I caught a glimpse of heaven and now my heart is there.

Verse 2
Now when I feel discouraged and my burdens get me down,
I pray till I touch heaven and now my feet are on higher ground.
Well, I've had my share of trouble, and I've had my share of woe,
But I forget about them when I feel the heavenly breezes blow.

FEELIN' FINE
VS1
Well, I woke up this morning feelin’ fine,
I woke up with heaven on my mind,
I woke up with joy in my soul for I knew my Lord had control.
Well I knew I was walking in the light 'cause I'd been on my knees in the night
And I prayed ‘til the Lord gave us sight and now I'm feelin’ mighty fine.
Chorus
Well, I'm feelin’, feelin’ mighty fine, I've got heaven, on my mind
Don't you know I want to go where the milk and honey flow

I've got heaven, heaven on my mind and now I'm feeling mighty fine.
VS 2
I've been walking with Jesus all the time, we're walking and talking as we climb
We're traveling the road to the sky where I know I’ll live when I die
He's been telling me all about that land and He tells me that everything is grand
And He says that a home will be mine and now I'm feelin’ mighty fine.

Oh I’m feelin’ fine, oh I’m feelin’ yes I’m feelin’, feelin’ mighty fine.
THAT'S WHEN THE ANGELS REJOICE
Verse 1
At the completion of the Golden Gate, no the angels did not celebrate
And when the Wright boys flew their bird, no angelic shouts were heard.
Chorus
There's only one thing that we're sure about that will make those angels jump and shout
It's when a sinner makes the Lord his choice -- that's when the angels rejoice.
Verse 2
Now when the light bulb first lit up the town, no the angels did not dance around
And when the man stepped on the moon they didn’t sing a victory tune.
Chorus
Channel
Now heaven doesn't strike up a band for any old occasion at hand.
It's gotta be a special thing to make those angels sing.
Verse 3
Now when the Model T first hit the street, it didn’t bring all heaven to it's feet
And when the first computer was born, they didn't blow Gabriel's horn.
Chorus

When the United States became a nation, there was no angelic celebration
But when one lost sinner comes back home, they jump for joy around the throne.

HE'S JUST A WHISPER AWAY
CHORUS
He's just a whisper away, at His feet your burdens lay (burdens lay)
If you'll reach out to Him in prayer, He will meet you there any time night or day.
He's just a whisper away, call His name this very day (very day)
Alone or in a crowd you don't have to say it loud, He's just a whisper away

All along the pilgrim road that leads to heaven’s fair abode,
You might stumble on your way from time to time
Underneath the toil and strain falling down on you like rain, this world can seem so unkind
But there's an answer for it all, a name on which you then can call when troubles of the world make you repine,
If you'll only kneel and ask, Christ will help you meet the task,
Yeah, it’s such a joy to know you’ll find,

He's just a whisper away, at His feet your burdens lay (burdens lay)

Alone or in a crowd you don't have to say it loud,
He's just a whisper away
All alone or in a crowd, you don't have to say it loud,

YESTERDAY'S PREACHER
VS1
It doesn’t seem like so long ago a gentleman of God that I used to know,
Doing what he could to make the kingdom grow
He touched my very soul.
I still recall him standing by the old brown door, shaking hands and saying “welcome back once more”
The warmth in his smile you could not ignore; that’s what they came there for.
CHORUS
This is for yesterday’s preacher who gave his life paving the way.
He was doing his part by giving his heart.
That’s why I’m singing today.
That’s why I’m singing today.
VS2
He was jack of all trades – he had to do it all – from shoveling snow to playing basketball.
Late in the night he was the one they’d call because he always made trouble seem small.
VS3
He never had a life of his own, living week to week was all he’d ever known.
He never reaped the harvest for the seeds he’d sown but look how much we’ve grown.
CHORUS
This is for yesterday’s preacher who gave his life paving the way.
He was doing his part by giving his heart.
That’s why I’m singing today.
That’s why I’m singing today.
VS4
Then one winter day that preacher died;
the only time I ever saw that undertaker cry.
His loving wife bent down and kissed him goodbye and everybody cried.
Oh but up in heaven now an angel band plays all his favorite hymns at his command
He and Jesus now walking hand in hand -- Oh what a happy man!.
CHORUS
This is for yesterday’s preacher who gave his life paving the way.
He was doing his part by giving his heart.
That’s why I’m singing today.
That’s why I’m singing today.
I CAN BE GLAD

I can be glad for my hope is in the Lord ‘cause He gives me confidence
that this world doesn't know

Right from the beginning God made me for His own and He replaced my weak foundation and made Himself the cornerstone,
When all was ready and in order, He promised every day and hour
He’d be faithful to sustain me by His mighty power.
(chorus)
VS2
If I landed in prison for calling on God's name, He would cause the walls to crumble
Under the fervor of my praise,
If for the cause of Christ I’m chosen to suffer death to prove my stand,
I'll be ushered into glory led by God's own hand
BRIDGE
Every mountain, every fortress, every work that is not His will pass away.CHORUS
So I can be glad for my hope is in the Lord cause He gives me confidence that this world doesn't know,
He is the Lord of all creation and whatever the situation I'm glad for my hope is in the Lord.

My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and his righteousness
He's the lord of all creation and whatever the situation I'm glad for my hope is in the Lord.
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Oh say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched we watched were so gallantly streaming,
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
Of the brave..
SHOUT ALL OVER HEAVEN
VS1
When I get excited and my heart's delighted and the spirit comes over me
I know there is no doubt you’re gonna hear me shout I’m feeling the victory
And if it bothers you that what I say is true, you better cancel your plans for heaven
‘ Cause I’ll be there shoutin’ everywhere my sins have been forgiven.
CHORUS
I'm gonna shout all over heaven, what a day that's gonna be,
I'm gonna sing (sing sing) I’ll sing the bass, we'll sing the harmony
I'll dance right down the streets of gold on glory avenue
And I’ll clap my hands and praise the Lord and shout all over heaven.
VS2
When I hear the word and my heart is stirred a tear of joy comes to my eyes
It doesn't bother if the tears you see, a happy man am I
I know the Lord above is looking down with love,
He's watching everything I do
And some sweet day I'll be shouting everyday while sailing thru the blue.
CHORUS
I'm gonna shout all over heaven, what a day that's gonna be,
I'm gonna sing (sing sing) I’ll sing the bass, we'll sing the harmony
I'll dance right down the streets of gold on glory avenue
And I’ll clap my hands and praise the Lord and shout all over heaven.
(chorus repeat)
MEETING IN THE AIR
VS1
You have heard of little Moses in the bulrush
You have heard of fearless David and his sling
You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph
And of Jonah and the whale you often sing
There are many, many others in the Bible
I should like to meet them all I do declare
By and by the Lord will surely let us meet them at that meeting in the air.
CHORUS
There is going to be a meeting in the air in the sweet, sweet by and by I am going to meet you, meet you over there in that home beyond the sky.
Such singin’ you will hear never heard by mortal ear
‘ Twill be glorious I do declare,
And God's own Son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air.
VS2
Many things will there be missin’ at that meeting
For the mourners bench will have no place at all
There will never be a sermon preached to sinners for the sinner had refused to heed the call
There will be no mourning over wayward loved ones
There will be no lonely nights of pleading prayer.
All our burdens and our anguish will be lifted at that meeting in the air.
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
TAG
And God's own Son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air.
WONDERFUL GRACE OF JESUS
