"When Jesus Walks"

When Jesus walks in darkened lands
Atop charred soils and scorched sands
He leaves footprints outlined in light
And up spring flowers—a gardener's delight
He brings life, power, truth anew
To everyone—even me and you

"In My Father's Arms"

In my father's arms
I find great love so pure

In my father's arms
I find strength to endure

In my father's arms
I am free from harm

In my father's arms
I am totally secure

"To See The World Through The Eyes Of An Eagle"

High above the plains
Nothing seems quite the same
Learning to fly
Can't be afraid
Daddy's nearby
We whirl and dive
We spread our wings out wide
Soaring high up in the sky
Mountains shrink from sight
Clouds part, reveal the night
Can't be afraid
Daddy's nearby
Pushed out of the nest
Into His ultimate rest
Flying high
Flying higher
Staring at the sun
My flight's only just begun
Soaring with the Son

"Tis Of Thee"

My Savior, 'tis of thee,
Giver of liberty, of thee I sing;
Son of the Father's love,
Returning from above,
Let every tongue proclaim that you are King!


adapted from "My Country, 'Tis of Thee"
Samuel Francis Smith (1831)

"Banner"

Oh, say can you see by the Lord's holy light
Who so proudly we nailed to Golgotha's cursed tree?
Whose back stripes and white scars from betrayal's delight
Oh the pain he endured was for our hope and healing
Then the angels declared he was no longer there
The grave is empty now our Lord is risen
Oh, say that Jesus still reigns eternally
O'er the homes of the saved and the hearts of the free!

Praise God!


adapted from "The Star-Spangled Banner"
Francis Scott Key (1814)
(as sung at baseball games in the USA)
