EVERLASTING
WAY
Bible Lesson:
ÒProbation After DeathÓ from April 26, 2009
(presented to Nashville church)
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man
A foolish, a
foolish way
A way which leadeth not to understand
A foolish, a
foolish way
Wandering in
the congregation of the dead
Corruptible
this mortal is
Whose way is
not His way
Whose way is
not His way
Whose way but
seemeth right but is not His way
But if there
be any wicked way in us
Thou wilt
show us the path of life
Where the
footsteps of Truth slip not
We turn not
to the left, nor to the right
But in thy
everlasting way
An
everlasting way,
Death is
swallowed up in victory
Everlasting
way
Understanding
way
Let us walk
in His ways
In His ways
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man
A foolish, a
foolish way
There is a way which leadeth right up to the Lord
Established
, established way
On the path
of righteousness is life itself
At His right
hand, are pleasures, evermore
When we walk
in His ways
When we walk
in His ways
Established
are we on His everlasting ways
Oh death,
where is thy sting?

THEE AND THY
SOUL
Bible lesson:
ÒGod the Preserver of ManÓ from June 14, 2009
(presented to Nashville church – also first day of CS
Class)
Let your
heart, let your heart not be troubled nor fear
Exhort thee
to be of good cheer
For there
shall be no loss of life here
The Lord, the
Lord is thy keeper and shade
The sun shall
not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night
For He shall
preserve thee and thy soul
The Lord
shall preserve thee from evil
From all evil
shall thee be preserved
What shall
separate us from the love of Christ
Neither
famine, nor peril, nor sword
Neither
death, nor life, nor angels
For thou
compass us about
With songs of
deliverance
We remain
whole and blameless
The Lord, the
Lord is my hiding place
And the very
God of peace
Preserves my
whole spirit and soul
The Lord
shall preserve thee from evil
From all evil
shall thee be preserved
What shall
separate us from the love of Christ
Neither
powers, things present, nor things to come,
For thou
compass us about
With songs of
deliverance
Sung to the
prisoners, who heard them
And suddenly
there came a great earthquake,
The
foundations of the prison were shaken:
And
immediately the doors were all opened,
And every
one's bands were loosed.
The Lord, the
Lord is thy keeper and shade
The sun shall
not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night
For He shall
preserve thee and thy soul
Let your
heart, let your heart not be troubled nor fear
Exhort thee
to be of good cheer
For there
shall be no loss of life here

EVERY GOOD
GIFT
Bible lesson:
ÒRealityÓ from March 29, 2009
(first original solo presented to Nashville church)
Behold, a man
beholds his natural face in a glass
Behold, a man
beholds his natural face in a glass
His eyes
behold his vanity
For his eyes
have not yet seen
The things which God hath prepared
Behold the darkness
hides his natural face in the glass
Behold the
darkness covers the Earth, covers the glass
But the Lord
shall arise upon thee
And his glory
shall be seen
Lift thine
eyes, thine eyes, round about and see
From above
comes every good gift
Cometh down
from the Father of Lights
Turn thine
eyes to every good gift
God the Lord
has shown us the light
Turn thine
eyes away from vanity
To the only
true reality
Lift thine
eyes, thine eyes, round about and see
An angel in a
certain season descends to a pool
The pool is
still, untroubled, natural, as a glass
The man
beholds his vanity
Thirty-eight
years his infirmity
Until Christ,
the Truth
Suffers the
man to see
From above
comes every good gift
Cometh down
from the Father of Lights
Turn thine
eyes to every good gift
God the Lord
has shown us the light
Be ye
therefore perfect -- and see
As your
father in heaven – and see
Behold,
behold, behold reality
From above

TURN AGAIN
UNTO THE LORD
Bible lesson:
ÒEverlasting PunishmentÓ from May 3, 2009
(presented to Murfreesboro church)
No one is
tempted of God
Tempted of
God, no one is tempted of God
He tempteth
none, for evil tempt not Him
No one is
tempted of God
Tempted of
God, no one is tempted of God
He tempteth none,
for evil tempt not Him
For evil
tempt not Him
But every man
is tempted
When he is
drawn away of his own desires
And every man
is tempted
But by the
lordÕs mercies
Are we not consumed.
We wrestle
with the man until the break of the day
We struggle
in the dark to see God face to face
Thy name is
no more Jacob, for thou indeed prevail
If you should
know thy name it would be surely Israel
We search and
try our ways -- and turn again unto the Lord (x2)
For no one is
tempted of God
Tempted of
God, no one is tempted of God
For the grace
of God that bringeth salvation, that bringeth salvation
Hath appeared
to all
Hath appeared
to all

GREAT ARE THE
WORKS OF THE LORD
Bible lesson:
ÒGod the Only Cause and CreatorÓ from Dec 7, 2008
(first original solo ever written/presented)(presented to Murfreesboro church)
Great are the
works of the Lord
All the
things that He hath willed
Great are the
works of the Lord
All the
things that He hath willed, that He hath willed
Honor and
glory to all His works,
His
righteousness liveth forever
his wonderful works were made to be
remembered
Great are the
works of the Lord
All the
things that He hath willed
Great are the
works of the Lord
All the
things that He hath willed, that He hath willed
Thou art
worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour
For thou hast
created all things
For thou hast
created all things
All things
hath he created
Thou sendest
forth thy spirit
They are
created
The First,
the Last
Beside You there is no God
Great are the
works of the Lord
All the
things that He hath willed
Great are the
works of the Lord
All the
things that He hath willed, that He hath willed
The First,
the Last
Created
Forever
