Have Mercy

Have mercy, Have mercy
I’ll hide my soul in you
In the shadow of your wings
Have mercy

I cry out to God most high
My life is in His hands
He sends down from heaven above
To save me from arrows
God sends his love and faithfulness

CHORUS 1

I lie in the midst of lions
Surrounded by beasts of prey -
These people have tongues like swords
And smiles hiding arrows
God sends his love and faithfulness

Be exalted, Be exalted
God in the heavens above
Let your glory shine on earth
Be exalted

My heart is like a rock
I’ll sing and make music
Awaken O harp and lyre
Awaken my soul
I’ll wake the dawn

He Turned The Water Into Wine

G             C          G     C
He turned the water into wine 
G             C          G     C

He turned the water into wine
       G            G7        C
In the little Canan town  the word went all
 Cm          G             C          G     C
Around that  He turned the water into wine

Well he walked upon the Sea of Galilee 
He walked upon the Sea of Galilee
Shouted far and wide, He calmed the raging tide
And walked upon the Sea of Galilee

He healed the leper and the lame 
He healed the leper and the lame 
He said go and tell no man 
But they shouted it though out the land
That He healed the leper and the lame 
He healed the leper and the lame 

He fed the hungry multitude 
He fed the hungry multitude
With a little bit of fish and bread
They said everyone was fed
He fed the hungry multitude

 He Ain't Never Done Me Nothing but Good

G
He ain’t never, done me nothin’,
done me nothin’ but good,
C           G
Nothin’ but good
G
Woah, oh oh, He ain’t never, done me nothin’,
done me nothin’ but good,
C           G
Nothin’ but good

Verse 1:
G
Well Job was a righteous man, the Devil couldn’t doubt it
He surely loved the Saviour there was no doubt about it
Satan cursed his body from his feet to his head
And he told him all his children and his cattle were dead
Then Job’s wife said why don’t you curse your God and die
G                       C                    G
But Job said woman, you speak like a foolish child

CHORUS

Verse 2:
I gave my heart to Jesus, and took Him as my Saviour
And cast my lot with the chosen ones, and started out for heaven
Soon I was forsaken, my friends left one by one
But The good Lord walked beside me, and never left me alone
He fed me when I was hungry, and cheered me when I was sad
And He has been the dearest friend this child has ever had

CHORUS

Verse 3:
History tells of Polycarp, a martyr for the gospel’s sake
They built a fire around his feet, and tied him to a stake
But the fire could not consume him,
so they pierced him with a sword
The blood ran down, put out the fire,
but still he praised The Lord
Now all these years I’ve served him,
He’s done me nothin’ but good
Well I won’t repent and I won’t recant, just tell me why I should

CHORUS

I Am A Pilgrim

       A               D
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
           G                      D    
Travelling through  this wearisome land
           D                    G         
I've got a home in  that yonder city, good Lord
         D        A           D         
And it's not      not made by hand


           A                        D
I've got a mother, got a sister and brother
         G               D    
Who have gone this way before
       D                  G   
I am determined to go and see them, good Lord
     D  A            D        
Over on   that other shore


Chorus


           A                    D
I'm going down to that river of Jordan
        G                 D    
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
                D                    G   
If I could just touch the hem of his garment, good Lord
       D    A             D        
Then I know he'll take me home


Chorus

I Know His Blood Can Make Me Whole

I know his blood can,

I just touched...(the) hem of his garment.

Blood of Jesus,

I just touched (the) hem of his garment.

Well his blood has,

I just touched (the) hem of his garment.

I was a gambler just like you,
I was a gambler..
I just touched (the) hem of his garment.

Oh his blood have,

I just touched (the) hem of his garment.

I was sick and I couldn't get well,
I was sick and I couldn't get well...
I just touched (the) hem of his garment.

Well his blood have,

I just touched (the) hem of his garment.

Jesus blood can...

I Saw The Light

A
I wandered so aimless my heart filled with sin
D                              A
I wouldn't let my dear Saviour in
                                       D
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
A                 E       A
Praise the Lord I saw the light


CHORUS
  A
  I saw the light I saw the light
  D                        A  
  No more darkness no more night
                                D   
  Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
  A                 E       A
  Praise the Lord I saw the light


Just like a blind man I wandered alone
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light


I was a fool to wander and astray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the lord I saw the light

And when I'm lost He'll come to find me

When I can't walk He's there to carry
                         A
When I speak He hears my words

When I wake and I have nothing
            A     G                Bm
He sends me gold, frankincense and myrrh


CHORUS

When I cry my tears of sorrow
When my heart will only ache
And if I'm troubled when I'm sleeping
He will hold me until I wake

Because He died to save my soul
Because He died to save my soul

I'll Fly Away

A                  A7
Some glad morning, when this life is over
D        A
I'll fly away
A
to my home on God's celestial shore
E         A
I'll fly away

  A              A7
  I'll fly away, oh, glory
  D        A
  I'll fly away
  A
  when I die, hallelujah, by and by
  A    E    A
  I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have grown
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away

I'm Bound For The Promised Land

A                  E       A
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
    A              E             
And cast a wishful eye
                     D     A
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
           E         A  
Where my possessions lie.

I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.

I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

No chilling winds or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.

I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.

When I shall reach that happy place,
I'll be forever blessed,
For I shall see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest.

I’ve Tasted You

The best part is that I’ll never have to kick
The thick veil away again
Never again
And I’m not brave but you taught me
You taught me how not to be a slave
Ever again

And genuine change is not so strange
And genuine love is not too late

Because I’ve tasted you oh my God
And I see that you are good (2x)
You are good
Yes you are good to me (2x)

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone! - who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This Gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid:
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!
