Walkin' Wise
How can a young man stay on the highway
The right way, the pure way
The way that leads home?
There is a way that seems right in a man's eyes
But too often, too late he finds he was wrong
So remember your Creator while life lies before you
And remember His only Son who gave His life for you
And think on His law and see life through His eyes
And then you'll know you're walkin' wise
How can a young girl
Live in a wild world
A world that will leave you to die in it's maze?
Charm will deceive you and beauty will leave you
But God sees your heart and examines your ways
So remember your Creator while life lies before you
And remember His only Son who gave His life for you
And think on His law and see life through His eyes
And then you'll know you're walkin' wise
So remember your Creator while life lies before you
And remember His only Son who gave His life for you
And think on His law and see life through His eyes
And then you'll know you're walkin' wise

How Blessed is the Man
How blessed is the man who does not listen to advice from the wicked or walk in his ways
But in God's law is his delight and day and night he will meditate in it
And he shall be like a tree, planted by rivers of water
And he shall be like a tree, and everything he does shall prosper
How blessed is the man who does not listen to advice from the wicked or walk in his ways
But in God's law is his delight and day and night he will meditate in it
And he shall be like a tree, planted by rivers of water
And he shall be like a tree, and everything he does shall prosper
How blessed is the man who does not listen to advice from the wicked or walk in his ways
But in God's law is his delight, and day and night he will meditate in it
Oh the Lord knows all His righteous ones, and the way of the righteous will flourish
Yes, the Lord knows all His godly ones, but the way of the wicked will perish
Yes, the way of the wicked will perish
How blessed is the man who does not listen to advice from the wicked or walk in his ways
But in God's law is his delight, and day and night he will meditate in it
And he shall be like a tree, planted by rivers of water
And he shall be like a tree, and everything he does shall prosper!!

Be Like Him!

Be Like Him (Be Holy for I am Holy)
I was asked to hang around with some friends after church
And I reluctantly sat in the crowd
And soon I heard above the noise
The youth director's voice
Callin' my name clear and loud
He said, "We want to get a good discussion goin' tonight
To see if everybody understands
So Jenny - can you tells us what God requires
If we belong to Him?"
And I said, "I try to be good
I go to church - when I feel like it
Remember - nobody's perfect
And I'm as good as the next man
And it's good to know that God's gonna take me to heaven if I, if I do the best that I can."
My knees grew weak and my eyes began to blur as everybody sat and stared
And then a young man with compassion in his eyes
Read from Psalm 50 and I knew he was wise when he said, "You know a lot of people have their own ideas of what God is like and how we should live
But our authority is God's word alone.
If we want to know what to believe
You see, you thought God was just like you willing to wink at sin but He tells us plainly in His word that we must be like Him.
For He says,
'Be holy for I am holy
Pursue holiness and peace or you won't see the Lord.'
'Be holy for I am holy
Pursue holiness and peace or you won't see the Lord.'
It's not by our own righteousness but by grace through faith we are saved
But if you love the Lord you're gonna keep His commands
and He'll give you the strength to obey."
I walked away that night a different girl for I finally realized
that all my attitudes and my ideas were nothing but self made lies
So if you find that you're a lot like me you'd better take this advice my friend
You'll lose your soul with your imaginary god
Find out how to be like Him
For He says,
'Be holy for I am holy
Pursue holiness and peace or you won't see the Lord.'
'Be holy for I am holy
Pursue holiness and peace or you won't see the Lord.'
It's not by our own righteousness but by grace through faith we are saved
But if you love the Lord you're gonna keep His commands
and He'll give you the strength to obey."
'Be holy for I am holy
Pursue holiness and peace or you won't see the Lord.'
'Be holy for I am holy
Pursue holiness and peace or you won't see the Lord.
Or you won't see the Lord.
Or you won't see the Lord.'

My Heritage
Your statutes are my heritage forever they are the joy of my heart
Your statutes are my heritage forever they are the joy of my heart
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the end
To the very end
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the end
To the very end
When trouble and distress have come upon me Lord, your commands are my delight
When trouble and distress have come upon me Lord, your commands are my delight
Direct my footsteps according to your law may no sin rule over me
Direct my footsteps according to your law let no sin rule over me
Oh, make your face to shine upon your servant and teach me all your decrees
Oh, make your face to shine upon your servant and teach me all your decrees
Oh, streams of tears flow down from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed
Oh, streams of tears flow down from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed
How great, Oh, Lord, are all your tender mercies preserve my life according to your love
How great, Oh, Lord,
How great, Oh, Lord, are all your tender mercies preserve my life according to your love
How great, Oh, Lord,
Because I love your commands more than gold, I hate every evil way
Because I love your commands more than gold, I hate every evil way
Your statutes are my heritage forever they are the joy of my heart
Your statutes are my heritage forever they are the joy of my heart
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the end
To the very end
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the end
To the very end

City Streets

City Streets
I walked the city streets last night
Cold and lonely under the neon lights
And a lady followed close behind me
Tracing every step as I moved on blindly
And as I made my way into a devil's den
This lady called my name and cried out, "Don't go in!"
And she said, "Wisdom is my name and I bring you this warning: If you don't follow me tonight, you may not live to see the morning light."
And she said, "How long, Oh you who are so naive
How long will you turn from me?
For I will keep you from wicked men and from the wayward woman's path
For all the roads that take you to them lead you down to death!
Oh, they lead you down to death."
And suddenly I recognized her
She kept me in my childhood, how could I despise her?
And then my foolish eyes were opened
And everything was clear when the truth was spoken
And wisdom is far better than the purest gold
For she will guard your life and she'll protect you soul
And she keeps callin' out, "Oh, you are so naive,
How long will you turn away from me?
How long, Oh you who are so naive.
How long will you turn away from me?
Don't turn away…Don't…, don't turn away…turn…
Don't turn away from me…away…
Don't turn away…Don't…, don't turn away…turn…
Don't turn away from me…away…
Don't turn away.

The Sun Rises
The sun rises everyday
And in the evening it goes down, goes down
There's nothing new in it's way
It's just the same old world spinnin' round, spinnin' round
But I was looking for change in my life
Some new color for the shades of gray
I wanted pleasure for my body and mind
Anything to gratify, satisfy, satisfy
So I tried silver, I tried gold
I tried wine, women and song
Anything my eyes desired
But it didn't take me long to see that everything was meaningless
Chasing after wind
For Jesus is all in all
Life is empty without Him!
The sun rises everyday
And in the evenin' it goes down, goes down
There's nothing new in it's way
It's just the same old world spinnin' round, spinnin' round
Too many years I've wandered day after day
Looking vainly for some lasting pleasure
Then God had mercy and He gave me new life
Now I know real love and joy without measure!
But I tried silver, I tried gold
I tried wine, women and song
Anything my eyes desired
But it didn't take me long to see that everything is meaningless
Chasing after wind~
But Jesus is all in all
Life is empty without Him!
The sun rises everyday
And in the evening it goes down, goes down.

The King's Daughter
I was talkin' to my brother just the other day
And he said, "Sis, I've got somethin' to say
I guess I've learned a lot in sixteen years
And one thing lately is really clear
You know some of those girls that go to my school?
Well, they must take me for a fool
And if you've got just a little time
I'll tell you what's on my mind."
And he said, "I know a lot of pretty girls
Flirtin' around in this old world
They always wear the latest styles
And fill your eyes with shallow smiles
But I've been tryin' to find her
The way that God designed her
A lady with beauty that won't fade
Oh, the King's daughter is all glorious within
Her clothing is of the finest gold
She has a loveliness inside of her that shines from in her heart
A beauty of the spirit and the soul!
I met a girl that I adore
I don't remember what she wore
But in her spirit she was clothed in her Father's finest robes
She spoke about her Saviour
And servin' Him forever
And as we talked I could plainly see
She was the King's daughter
And she was glorious within
Her clothing was of the finest gold
She had a loveliness inside of her that shone from in her heart
A beauty of the spirit and the soul.
I wouldn't trade this friend of mine
For all the riches you could find
For glamor queens will soon grow old
And all that glitters is not gold
And I thank my Creator
That in His plan He made her
A lady with a beauty that won't fade!
Oh, the King's daughter is all glorious within
Her clothing is of the finest gold
She has a loveliness inside of her that shines from in her heart
A beauty of the spirit and the soul.
King's daughters are hard to find
Keep your eye on her!

My Life Is Flying By Me
03:22
|

My Life is Flyin' by Me
My life is flyin' by me
Like a jet plane through the sky
I never knew what life will hand me
What's the plan; what will the plan be?
My mind was goin' crazy
Spinnin' in a whirlwind maze
I didn't know which way to turn
Or if there's any truth to learn
But God - shattered the darkness
And shone His bright light
Into my heart and soul
And God - broke off the slavish chains of fear
Gave me a new hope and made me bold
Gone are the fears, and gone the tears
And all the years of spinnin' wheels
And getting nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Is your life flyin' by you
Like a jet plane through the sky
You never know what life will hand you
What's the plan; what will the plan be?
Is your mind goin' crazy
Spinnin' in a whirlwind maze?
You do not know which way to turn
Or is there any truth to learn?
May God - shatter your darkness
And shine His bright light
Into your heart and soul
May God - break off your slavish chains of fear
Give you a new hope, and make you bold
Today's the day, don't turn away
God will forgive your sin
And take away your sorrow
Don't hesitate, it's not too late
You have no promise you will ever see
Tomorrow, tomorrow,
May God - shatter your darkness
And shine His bright light
Into your heart and soul
May God - break off your slavish chains of fear
Give you a new hope, and make you bold

The Time of My Life
Time, from the beginning
Filling the moments and days
I have a lifetime before me
And I will take the time that remains
And I will praise the God of all the ages
For giving the meaning to life
And by God's grace, my moment in history
Will help to build the kingdom of Christ
And I'm havin' the time of my life
Making the most of every moment
Knowing the future lies before me
Living today to give God glory
And I'm havin' the time of my life
Knowing my times are in His hands
And with the saints who've gone before me
On His word I stand
For from Him, and through Him
And to Him, are all things
To Him be the glory forever and ever
For from Him, and through Him
And to Him, are all things
To Him be the glory forever
Amen, Amen
