The Judgment

All is still, Heaven is silent
As the Mighty Judge ascends the throne
The Book of Life is opened as countless souls begin to moan
From the throne comes a voice like thunder
"Depart, I know ye not"
"For the names written in this book are the very souls my blood has bought"

Faces turn as into the courtroom comes the very seed of sin
He who was the saint's accuser must face the charges against him
With the fury of all the ages that demon voice begins to cry
"It's not fair, I almost had you...on Golgotha I watched you die"
Then Satan begins to tremble as his fate to him was known
From the throne came the verdict
The Lake of Fire will be your home

And I see every knee is bowing, every hand in honor is raised
Every voice to Him is lifted, "thou art worthy, the Lamb be praised"
Angels standing at attention as the redeemed begin to sing
Heaven's courts resound their anthem
"You are our Savior, Lord and King"
Heaven's courts resound their anthem
"You are our Savior, Lord and King!
Thou art worthy, thou art worthy, the Lamb be praised!"

My favorite versions of this song are done by The Hooker Sisters on their album The Value of One and David Owen on his album Are You Ready

Somebody Loves Me

I'm in love with my savior andhe's in love with me
He is with me from day to day what a friend is he
Watches over me while I sleep, hears me when I pray
I'm happy as I can be and I now can say

Chorus:
Somebody loves me answers my prayers
I love Somebody I know he cares
Somebody tells me not to repine
That Somebody is Jesus and I know He's mine

And at last when our work is done, He will call us home
To a mansion He has prepared, nevermore to roam
We'll sit down by the riverside, cares all cast away
And with never a pain to bear what a happy day!

Chorus

Chorus

Chorus

That somebody is Jesus and I know He's mine
He's mine, yes He's mine!!

People Need the Lord

Everyday they passed me by, I can see it in their eyes
Empty people filled with fear headed who knows where
On they go through private pain, living fear to fear
laughter hides the silent cries only Jesus hears

Chorus:
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams he's the open door
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will we realize people need the Lord

We are called to take His light to a world where wrong is right
What could be too great a cost for sharing life with one who's lost
Through His love our hearts can feel all the grief they brear
They must hear the words of life only we can share

People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams He's the open door
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will we realize that we must give our lives
For people need the Lord
People need the Lord!

God Saves Old Sinners

The man of the street, the rich in their palaces
The poor and unlearned, and the man of degrees
They all have a soul in need of salvation
They all have to come to Calvary

Chorus:
And I am so glad God saves old sinners
I'm thrilled and amazed that He sets them free
But the biggest surprise in redeeming old sinners
Is that He would save an old sinner like me

Was I so bad, that I needed forgiveness?
Was I so wrong, that I could not be free?
I wasn't a thief but I lived in sin's prison
And I was as lost as a sinner could be

Chorus

God's Word Changes Lives

Those who know the Savior will gladly testify
How God's Word brought conviction the hour they met Christ
It may have been a still small voice but they heard the Master's call
Learning in that moment when they surrendered all

Chorus:
God's Word changes lives
Its power cannot be denied
The lost find salvation, the foolish become wise
God's Word changes lives

The essence of its message, the truth has never changed
God so loved He gave his Son that sinners could be saved
And whether read or preached or sung, once it has been heard
The authority of Scripture will leave no heart unstirred

Chorus

So changed of God proclaim His truth till every soul has heard
The power of the Gospel in God's unchanging Word,
Unchanging Word

Chorus

God's Word changes lives
God's Word changes lives
God's Word changes lives!

Go Reach the World

It all starts with just one voice
That takes a stand that makes the choice
To live for God and not hesitate
To tell the world about Amazing Grace

One day that seed somehow breaks through
Where there was one, there now stands two
And soon another takes His hand
a ray of hope has spread across the land

Across the mountains across the seas
soon others join in harmony
they found the cross still standing strong
and soon a mighty chorus sings along

Chorus:
Go reach the world touch one more soul
Bring one more lamb back to the fold
Each soul another flag unfurled
Each voice another chance to reach the world

Don't let me pray Lord for wealth or fame
A spark that sends the world aflame
But help me reach the lost and alone
To tell of joy and hope where hiope is gone

Chorus

Each voice another chance to reach the world

The Longer I Serve Him

Since I started for the kingdom, since my life He controls
Since I gave my heart to Jesus,
the longer I serve Him the sweeter he grows

Chorus:
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows
The more that I love Him more love He bestows
Each day is like Heaven my heart overflows
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows

Every need he is supplying precious grace he bestows
Everyday my way gets brighter
the longer I serve Him the sweeter he grows

Chorus

Each day is like Heaven my heart overflows
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows
