A Churchless Faith: Valley Songs J-N

Jesus and Me

F Abdim Gm7

When I’m feeling frightened and small

C7 Am7 Gm7

I don’t have to worry at all

C7 Am7 D7(b13) Gm7

‘Cause He makes me feel strong and tall

Jesus and me

He loves boys and girls just like me

Even if they’re one, two or three

I’d like to ask Jesus for tea

Jesus and me

I just want to sing and shout

He loves me inside out

That’s what it’s all about

Jesus and me

He’ll stay with me till the end

He’s someone on whom I depend

He’s certainly my special friend

Jesus and me

Jesus on the Mainline Lyrics

Jesus on the mainline

Tell Him what you want

Jesus on the mainline

Tell Him what you want

Jesus on the mainline

Tell Him what you want

A E A

Jesus on the mainline now

If you want salvation

If you're feeling down and out

If you want the Holy Ghost

If you want eternal life

If you want forgiveness

Just A Little Talk With Jesus

G C G

I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in

And then a little light from heaven filled my soul

G C G

He bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above

D7 G

Just a little talk with Jesus made me whole

Now let us have a little talk with Jesus

Let us tell Him all about our troubles

D7 G G7

He will hear our faintest cry and He will answer by and by

Now when you feel a prayer wheel turning

Then you'll know a little fire is burning

Em D7 G

You will find a little talk with Jesus make it right

C G

I may have doubts and fears my eyes be filled with tears

But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night

G C G

I go to Him in prayer He knows my every care

Em D7 G

And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Some Traditional Lyrics

I know I got religion and I ain't ashamed, Angels in heaven gonna call my name

Oh, one of these days about twelve o'clock, No, this old world gonna reel and rock

Must Jesus bear this cross alone and all this world go free, and bear that cross for everyone and bear that cross for me

This little light of mine

(can be sung with Do Lord)

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine

A E

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

Early in the mornin', I'm gonna let it shine

Late in the evenin', I'm gonna let it shine

In that midnight hour, I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine!

Down in the depths of the city, I'm gonna let it shine

Out in the stately houses, I'm gonna let it shine

All around the countryside, I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine!

In that fiery furnace, I'm gonna let it shine

When they call me blessed, I'm gonna let it shine

Jesus be my witness, I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine!

LET JUSTICE ROLL

(Micah 5.24)

G Em

We’ve silenced our prophets,

C D

We’ve shot down our dreamers,

G Em C D

Our lifeblood is money, we’re exploiting the poor.

G C G C

Oh, the people of the West just love to invest

Em Am D7

In the system that keeps the poor world poor.

G Em C D

We have no compassion; our lifestyle is evil;

G Em C D

Higher living standard - the God we adore.

G C G C

Oh, the people of the West just love to invest

Em Am D7

In the system that keeps the poor world poor.

G C G

Let justice roll on like a river

D C G D

Truth like an never failing ever flowing stream,

G C G

Then tears of rage will turn to laughter

D C G

And people become what they should be.

G Em

We ignore the ways of justice

C D

Though we talk a lot about it;

G Em C D

We victimise the stranger seeking refuge in our land.

G C G C

Oh, the people of the West just love to invest

Em Am D7

In the system that keeps the poor world poor.

G Em C D

Greed is our mother, silence is our father,

G Em C D

Our epitaph is written in frustrated tears of rage.

G C G C

Oh, the people of the West just love to invest

Em Am D7

In the system that keeps the poor world poor.

CHORUS

Let it Rise

Let the glory of the Lord rise among us

Let the praises of the King rise among us

F (riff)

Let it rise

Let the songs of the Lord rise among us

Let the joy of the Lord rise among us

Let it rise

C F/A Bb F

Oh let it rise.

Mary* Don't You Weep

Em B

If I could I surely would

Stand on the rock where Moses stood.

Am Em

Pharaoh’s army got drownded

B Em

Oh Mary don't you weep.

Em B

Oh Mary, don't you weep, no more

Am Em

Pharaoh’s army got drownded

B Em

Oh Mary don't you weep.

Moses stood on the red sea shore

Smotin' the water with a two by four.

Pharaoh’s army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep.

God told Moses what to do

To lead the Hebrew children through.

Pharaoh’s army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep.

Brothers and Sisters don't you cry

There'll be good times by and by

Pharaoh’s army got drownded, Oh Mary don't you weep.

CHORUS

Oh Mary don't you weep.

One of these nights about 12 o' clock, This old worlds going to reel and rock.

Mary wore three links of chain, On every link was Jesus' name.

Brothers and Sisters don't you cry, There'll be good times by and by

Well God gave Noah the rainbow sign, Said no more water, but fire next time.

The very moment I thought I was lost, The dungeon shook and the chains fell off.

*Mary of Bethany John 11:32-33

To the moment I wake up

But until I do I’ll take off

All the weight that throws me off (2x)

But what's unbelievable now

I will see it unfold at the point

When I need it the most (2x)

Closer to your true face

With nothing in the way

No nothing
