Adam's Song 02:32
lyrics
buy track
I told Him I was troubled being all alone Left on my own What to do? I said I felt my flame was dying down inside And then I cried, "Please guide me through" Then I waited for a sign Something quietly Divine Now together let us drink this sacred wine! He answered me by sending you And now we have each other And the garden, too! Oh, thank you, Lord, Thank you, Lord, Thank you Lord, Your love is true The flowers and the trees were all a pleasant sight But black and white was all that i could see Until I turned around and found a rainbow bright Standing right in front of me! Now let's wait here for a sign Something quietly Divine And together we'll fulfill His grand design By sending you He answered me And now the garden's blooming, We're alive and free! Oh, thank you, Lord, Thank you, Lord, Thank you, Lord, Eternally

Let's Do it For Him! 02:15
lyrics
buy track
Holding a torch with an eye turned Heavenward Living the hope of the biblical dream Nobody said it would ever be blintzes and cream! Yes, there are times when life is distressing And yes, there are times when the light grows dim Still there's the blessing, the sacred blessing That everything we do is for Him We do it for Him LET'S DO IT FOR HIM! Trying to cope in a world of confusion But rising above by the power of prayer Sometimes feeling alone but always knowing He's there Now is the time when the Spirit calls Let the love in your heart overflow at the brim For there's the calling, the sacred calling That everything we do is for Him We do it for Him LET'S DO IT FOR HIM! Well on the way toward the Day of Reckoning Trying to heed every word of The Word Doing our reverent best to hear and be heard Just keep the faith, let your spirits rise Keep holding that torch with all your vigor and vim For there's the glory, the honor and glory That everything we do is for Him The message is clear Just listen and hear The moment is near We do it for Him LET'S DO IT FOR HIM!

My Beloved Jerusalem (Hebrew) 01:46
lyrics

Translation of the Hebrew lyrics: How good it is to be here Surrounded by holiness and by wonders In the Holy City, in Jerusalem Everybody is like family Carrying the same hope in the Holy City, in Jerusalem You live in my heart, my city, A place of wonder and dream, Every stone cries out from unto you In a thousand voices for Peace I gently glide upwards And return in a canopy of dew! In the Holy City, in Jerusalem Now and since always, my city, I've wanted to experience you And now I am no longer the same person For I have just fallen in love with you! My soul smiles again And my song resounds from the heights In the Holy City, in Jerusalem

Everywhere 02:13

O God of Love High up above To You I sing this prayer The world is bright And all is right For You are EVERYWHERE I turn my eyes Up to the skies And all I see is air But when I watch a flower grow I know You're hiding in there! Let me laugh and play This and every day Help me to be good and do What Mommy and Daddy say! Throughout the day In every way Let me reach for the sky And when I sleep O Lord, please keep me In Your watchful eye Give me a friend A loving friend When I'm all alone And let us be In harmony From now until we're grown Show me, please, the way Teach me how to pray Let me do my best to love You Each and every day O God of Love High up above To You I sing this prayer The world is bright And all is right For You are EVERYWHERE

Praise the Lord For He blesses all who believe Him In the morning, in the evening Praise the Lord May your heart forever receive Him Let Him hear it In the Spirit And at [Keswick Grove] there is a place of prayer And this I know, the Lord walks there Yes, at [Keswick] I can feel my soul set free For Jesus Christ abides in me REFRAIN: (from Deut. 31:8) And the Lord, it is He Who goeth before thee He will be with thee He will not fail thee Neither forsake thee Fear not, fear not, fear not Neither be dismayed.

A Place Called Keswick 03:56
lyrics
buy track
I went looking for a place that's safe and warm A place where I could grow Away from a world of woe I went searching for a way to be reborn To turn to God above And embrace Eternal love And I found it in A PLACE CALLED KESWICK By the Lord's good grace, at Keswick Yes, I found this place called Keswick Praise the Lord! It's a place of meditation On the roadway to salvation And now it's time for celebration Praise the Lord My weakness took its toll till I arrived And my world is bright today For at last I found the way If I hadn't come, I might have not survived Now Jesus is in control And it's Christmas in my soul! For His Word resounds at Keswick And His love abounds at Keswick And the trumpet sounds at Keswick Praise the Lord! It's a place of meditation On the roadway to salvation And now it's time for celebration Praise the Lord! I stumbled through my lonely years And finally came asunder Consumed by troubles, doubts and fears In dread of going under But now I see the Promised Land And Lord! It's such a wonder! Freed from Satan's chains For only Jesus reigns And His story is told at Keswick May His glory unfold at Keswick Evermore He's got a hold on Keswick, Praise the Lord! It's a place of meditation On the roadway to salvation And now it's time for celebration Praise the Lord!

It's time for BOBBY IN THE LOBBY When you're in the mood for a tune It's BOBBY IN THE LOBBY To smile away the afternoon So when you're feeling sad and sobby Come hear BOBBY IN THE LOBBY Just put on your music shoes I'll meet you there! Oh, BOBBY IN THE LOBBY Is the way to make your day With BOBBY IN THE LOBBY You'll sweetly swoon and sway And for jokes that are corn on the cobby Come hear BOBBY IN THE LOBBY Just click your heels three times And come on home! That's BOBBY IN THE LOBBY Or Bob in the Lob Or Robert in the Lobert Here we go!
