Son Of A Preacher Man
(Soloist) Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise
(Soloist) The only one who could ever reach me
(All) Was the son of a preacher man
(Soloist) The only boy who could ever teach me
(All) Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
(Soloist) Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?
(Soloist) The only one who could ever reach me
(All) Was the son of a preacher man
(Soloist) The only boy who could ever teach me
(All) Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)
(Soloist) How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
(Sopranos) Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
(Soloist) The only one who could ever reach me
(All) Was the son of a preacher man
(Soloist) The only boy who could ever teach me
(All) Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever reach me)
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man

I want to be ready when Jesus comes.
Blessing In The Storm
Oh aye, oh aye, oh aye
oh aye, oh aye, oh aye
Oh aye, oh aye, oh aye
oh aye, oh aye, oh aye

When I cannot hear the sparrow sing
And I cannot feel the melody
There's a secret place that's full of grace
There's a blessing in the storm,
Help me sing it
There's a blessing in the storm.
Verse 2:
When the sickness won't leave my body
And the pain just won't leave my soul
I get on my knees and say "Jesus please"
There's a blessing in the storm,
Help me sing it
There's a blessing in the storm.
Verse 3:
When I cannot seem to love again
And the raindrops won't ever end
If you just hold on
Those clouds will soon be gone
There's a blessing in the storm
Help me sing it
There's a blessing in the storm.
Sweet sweet, the storm, sweet
(repeat verse 3)

Every Time I Feel The Spirit
Every time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart I will pray
Every time I feel the spirit
Moving in my heart I will pray
Upon a mountain my Lord spoke
Out of his mouth came fire and smoke
Down in the valley on my knees
I asked the Lord have mercy please
Every time I feel the spirit…
Jordan river chilly and cold
Took my body but not my soul
All around me looking so fine
I ask the Lord and know it is mine
Every time I feel the spirit….
Ain't but one train runs this track
Runs to heaven runs right back
St Peter waiting at the gate
Saying come on sinner, don't be late
Every time I feel the spirit…
Sinner, don't be late
Sinner, don't be late
Sinner, don't be late
Sinner, don't be late
Every time I feel the spirit…
Put Your Hands Together
Chorus:
Everybody put your hands together
And let’s praise the Lord.
Everybody put your hands together
And let’s praise the Lord.
Everybody put your hands together
And let’s praise the Lord.
The earth is His, the seas are His,
The lands are His, our hands are His,
Put your hands together and let’s praise the Lord!
Verse 1:
(Men) Clap your hands all ye people,
Sing praise to the Lord.
Shout unto God with shouts of joy
For He is the Lord.
Verse 2:
Clap your hands all ye people,
Sing praises to the Lord.
Shout unto God with shouts of joy
For He is the Lord, He is the Lord, oh yes He is.
(All)For God is King of heaven and earth
And He shall reign forevermore.
Mourning Into Dancing
Chorus:
He's turned my mourning into dancing again,
he's lifted my sorrows
I can't stay silent,
I must sing for his joy has come.
Verse (men only):
Where there once was only hurt, he gave his healing hand
Where there once was only pain, he brought comfort like a friend
I feel the sweetness of his love piercing my darkness
I see the bright and morning sun, as it ushers in his joyful gladness
Bridge (sopranos + altos only):
His anger lasts for a moment in time
But his favour is here and will be on me for all my lifetime.
Can’t Give Up Now
Verse 1:
(Hmmm)
There will be mountains that I will have to climb
And there will be battles that I will have to fight
But victory or defeat, it’s up to me to decide
But how can I expect to win if I never try
Chorus:
I just can’t give up now
I’ve come too far from where I’ve started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
And I don’t believe He’s brought me this far to leave me
Verse 2:
Never said there wouldn’t be trials, never said I wouldn’t fall
Never said that everything would go the way I want it to go
But when my back is against the wall and I feel all hope is gone
I just lift my head up to the sky and say help me to be strong
Oh I just can't…
Chorus:
I just can't give up now...
Verse 3:
I know You didn’t bring me
Out here to leave me lonely
Even when I can't see clearly
I know that You are with me so I can’t…
Chorus:
I just can't give up now...
Something Inside So Strong
Verse 1:
The higher you build your barriers
The taller I become
The further you take my rights away
The faster I will run
You can deny me
You can decide to turn your face away
No matter 'cause there's
Chorus:
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone... oh no
There's something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Verse 2:
The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
Your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time
You squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly it will blind you
Because there's
Something inside so strong…
(Sopranos) Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
Well, we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
because there's
Something inside so strong…
We Come To You
We come to You with a heart of thanks

We come to you with a song of praise
For your love
With sounds of joy and gratefulness

All creation looks to you
All provision comes from You
In every rhythm we thank you

All creation looks to you
All provision comes from you
In every season we thank you
For your love
All creation looks to you…
Things Can Only Get Better
You can walk my path
You can wear my shoes
Let her talk like me
And be an angel too
But maybe
You ain't never gonna feel this way
You ain't never gonna know me
But I know you...
Teach you now that
Things can only get better
Can only get, can only get
They get on from here
You know, I know that
Things can only get better
I sometimes lose myself in me
I lose track of time
And I can't see the world's formed trees
You set them alight, burning the bridges as you go
I'm too weak to fight you
I got my personal health to deal with
And you say
Walk my path
Wear my shoes
Talk like me
I'll be an angel and
(Chorus)
Things can only get better
Can only get better
Now I've found you
(That means me)
(Will you teach me now)
Things can only get better
Can only get better
Now I've found you
And you and you...
You... show me prejudice and greed
You show me how
I must learn to deal with this disease
I look at things now
In a different light than I did before
I found the cause
And I think that you could be my cure
And you say
Walk your path
Wear your shoes
Talk like that
I'll be an angel too
(chorus)
Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, can only get
Things can only get, can only get
(chorus)

Lying in a manger, away from harm and danger

More precious than silver or gold

Oh-joy, joy in my soul
Oh-joy, joy in my soul
Go tell it on the mountain, shout it in the valley
Oh tell them of the baby, its swaddling clothes
Sing to every nation, join the celebration
Oh-joy, joy in my soul
Oh-joy, joy in my soul
Oh-joy, joy in my soul
Oh-joy, joy in my soul
Oh said there's way down deep joy,
Joy joy joy joy joy

Unspeakable joy
Joy, joy, God's great joy…

Higher Than Heaven
You take me higher
You take me higher
You take me higher than I've ever been before
When I was down (down)
You always gave me the faith
You stuck around (round)
Gave me the strength to move on
I have no doubt
I'm gonna hold my head high
This time around
I'll keep my feet on the ground
With you I'm complete
Feels so right don't ask me why
(Feels so right don't ask me why)
No one can change me
You're the one that takes me higher (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Give me love
Get me up
Give me all that I need
You're taking me higher than heaven
Bring me joy to my life
With sweet harmony
You're taking me higher than heaven
Now I'm no fool and everyone don't play by the rules
I've learned to fight for what I want out of life
