A Churchless Faith: Valley Songs D-G

Didn't my Lord Deliver Daniel

4-5----4--0----0-4-5---7---7-

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel

0-4-5---5--5----0-4-5---7---7-

Deliver Daniel, deliver Daniel

4-5----4--0----0-4-5---7---7-

Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel?

----7---5---4-5-4-0-

And why not every man?

-4-7-10--7---10--7---4---7---10-7---10-

He delivered Daniel from the lion's den

----10-10-7----7---5-5---4--0---4-

And Jonah from the belly of the whale

-4--7---10--7--10--7----4----7---10-----7-10-

And the Hebrew children from the fiery furnace

7---5---4-5-4-0-

Why not every man?

The moon runs down in a purple stream

And the sun refuse to shine

And every star did disappear

Yes, freedom shall be mine!

Dig it Up

Dust and mud comin' thru my pores.

You Can't find God in the department stores

So I hit the road with a shovel and a song,

See if I can dig it up before I'm gone

Dig it up...keep on movin'

Here comes Jesus comin' down to free us.

Hear poor wall street, crashin' at His feet.

Here comes Jesus comin' down to free us.

Hear poor wall street, crashin’ at His feet.

Dig it up...walk on

Wearing right through this old pair of shoes

Kind of seems the Lord keeps wanting me to move

Marching on below no water no pay

that long hard walk on the lost highway

CHORUS

Can only take fence sittin’ for so long

Circulation loss says my heart was wrong

I one was lost, but now I'm found

And everything meaningful is underground

CHORUS

Big shiny advertisements all around my eyes

Can't wait to see my Lord tear a hole in the skies

All their wealthy gods promised me freedom

But a middle-eastern hobo is the one who made it come.

CHORUS

Their big glass, towers giving the finger to God

Makes him think it's time to pull out that punishing rod

Destruction or deliverance, how's it gonna end?

Sometimes you gotta knock it down,

so it can be born again

Do Lord

(Can be sung with This little light of mine)

I've got a home in glory land that out-shines the sun.

A E

I've got a home in glory land that out-shines the sun.

E A

I've got a home in glory land that out-shines the sun.

E B E

Way beyond the blue.

Chorus:

Do Lord, O, Do Lord, O do remember me,

A E

Do Lord, O, Do Lord, O do remember me,

E A

Do Lord, O, Do Lord, O do remember me,

E B E

Way beyond the blue.

I took Jesus as my Saviour, You take Him too.

Way beyond the blue.

Chorus:

Do Lord, O, Do Lord, O do remember me,

Way beyond the blue.

Do Unto Others (Prayer)

Oh lord must I do unto others,

before they do unto me

Must I arm myself to protect myself,

from pain and misery

oh no that is not the lesson i learnt,

upon my mothers knee

When she told me to do unto others,

only as I would have them do unto me

Down By the Riverside

I feel so bad in the morning,

I feel so bad in the middle of the day

D G

That's why I'm going to the river to wash my sins away

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I'm gonna lay down my worried mind, down by the riverside

I'm gonna study war no more

(chorus)

I ain't a gonna study war no more, study war no more

study war no m ore, study war no more

study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more

(verse 3)

Well, I'm gonna heal my broken heart, (Where?) down by the riverside

Down by the riverside, down by the riverside

I'm gonna lay down my broken heart, (A-ha) down by the riverside

I'm gonna study war no more

(chorus)

I ain't a gonna study war no more, study war no more

study war no more, study war no more

study war no more, I ain't a gonna study war no more

Come now and join the feast

From the greatest to the very least

Come now and join the feast

Just lay down your guns and come through

Rich people get rid of your stuff

Poor people there will be enough

Mighty ones come down from your thrones

Little ones you won't be alone

Lazy man come to the table

Make some food for those who ain't able

Pretty winner swallow your pride

Drink the outcast* who for all died

make sure everyone gets some

Then we'll see the kingdom

Face Of The Humbled Poor

Mat. 25:31-46

Behold the Son of Man

With all His angels gathered ‘round Him

Em D C G D C

Behold the host of nations ‘round his burning throne

Em D G

The King will reign with might

Am Em F C

And He will shake their souls from left to right

Em D C G D

The King will choose them one by one and then they’ll cry

Am C G D

When did we see you a broken man

Am C G

Lying beside a cell door?

When did we meet your eyes

And not recognise

Cmaj7 D Em D Em D

The Saviour’s face in the humbled poor?

I pace from wall to wall with a broken heart help me.

And there will come a time when my Kingdom comes to you

From This Valley

        G      C           G
Oh, the desert dreams of a river
          D               C
that will run down to the sea
G                   C      G
like my heart longs for an ocean
    D             G
to wash down over me.

C                       G
Oh, won't you take me from this valley
C                     D
to that mountain high above?
       G           D
I will pray, pray, pray
        Em               C
until I see your smiling face.
       G           D
I will pray, pray, pray
             G
to the one I love.

Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance,
just to find pure love's embrace
like an orphan longs for his mother.
May you hold me in your grace.

Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
that will flow 'neath her wings.
Like a voice longs for a melody,
oh, Jesus carry me.

I will pray, pray, pray
until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
to the one I love.

Jesus was a man, he was a man like any man
Sure he was the Son of God, but still he was just a man
Like any man I’ve ever seen,
sometimes he likes to blow off a little steam
Shake up a temple disrupt a wedding,
I think you know what I mean

Get out of my way (Get out of my way)
Get out of my way (Get out of my way)
Get out of my way (Get out of my way)
I’ve got to praise my lord today

You remember old Job,
Job he had it pretty bad
Lost his wife and his family,
lost everything that he had
Then three friends came and made it worse,
with their so called theology
Job said man I’ve had enough of this,
why won’t you let me be
Sat alone and ate, not a friend in sight
till the Love of God came down like a dove,
everything’s gonna be alright

Moses had a problem,
his people were enslaved
Worked all day in the hot damn sun,
and never once got paid
This got the Lord mighty mighty mighty pissed,
sent down some plagues
Sent some locusts, killed some cows,
then came the fiery rain
Pharaoh said you got to get out of here,
Moses said I don’t mind if we do
The Lord opened up the big red sea,
and the people walked right through

It was early in the morning,
and the church was hanging out
Celebrating the love of God,
no fear no doubt
Religious authorities came up to them,
“look at these fools they’re drunk”
“It’s 10 o’clock in the morning,
these fools are already drunk”
The apostles said man it’s not wine that makes me feel this way
It’s the love of god that’s set us free,
if I were you I’d get out of my way.

Get Right With God

I would risk the serpent's bite

I would dance around with seven

I would kiss the diamond back

If I knew it would get me to heaven

C G

'Cause I want to get right with God

C G

Yes, you know you got to get right with God

I would burn the soles of my feet

Burn the palms of both my hands

If I could learn and be complete

If I could walk righteously again

I would sleep on a bed of nails

'Till my back was torn and bleeding

In the deep darkness of Hell

The Damascus of my meeting

I asked God about his plan

To save us all from Satan's slaughter

If I give up one of my lambs

Will you take me as one of your daughters?

For the soul of every man…”

CHORUS

(instrumental)

God loves old bartenders
The preachers the whores and fools
And that karaoke singer
Just a-ruinin’ “Don’t be cruel”

The winners and the losers
The prisoners and the free
All the saints and all the sinners
Even you an’ even me

CHORUS

God loves everybody But we all give God the blues
Yeah we all give God the blues
Yeah we all give God the blues

Glory Glory Hallelujah
(Since I Laid My Burdens Down)

Glory glory, hallelujah,

Since I laid my burden down.

Glory glory, hallelujah,

Since I laid my burden down.

All my sickness will be over,

When I lay my burden down.

All my sickness will be over,

When I lay my burden down.

All my troubles will be over,

When I lay my burden down.

All my troubles will be over,

When I lay my burden down.

Lord, I'm feeling so much better,

Since I lay (laid) my burden down.

Lord, I'm feeling so much better,

Since I lay (laid) my burden down.

The Son of God by Name.

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem

Where our dear Saviour lay,

They found Him in a manger,

Where oxen feed on hay;

His Mother Mary kneeling down,

Unto the Lord did pray.

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace;

This holy time of Christmas

God's great gift of grace.

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy

Yes, you'd better have a care

If too much fault you find,

you will sure be left behind

While I'm sailing through the air

When I bid this world goodbye
