INTO THE FIRE
by Lisa Fuglie
Three men don't know what to do
How can they turn their back on God
King Nebuchadnezzar said, Your God is not the truth
Renounce, or you must go
Into the fire
Go into the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
And they went into the Fire
They went into the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
How can this be? There are not three
but four, standing in the flames
This king will concede, bring them to me
Their God is the One who saves
From the fire
They went into the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Not alone in the fire
There were four in the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
When those who wield the power say you must do
That which goes against our God
Don't be afraid, you are not alone
Have faith, even as you go
Into the fire
Go into the fire
like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
They went into the fire
They went into the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Feed the hungry, clothe the poor
When they knock, open up your door
God is seen in everyone
Let us pray His kingdom comes
Love your brother as yourself
Love defies the fires of Hell
Illuminate the false command
Take a step for God and man
Step into the fire
Step into the fire
like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
They went into the fire
They went into the fire
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego

THE TOUCH OF GOD’S HAND
by Vern Williams & Ray Park
When my burdens grow heavy (heavy, heavy)
and it seems there’s no way
I kneel by my bedside
and the Lord’s Prayer I’ll pray
God lifts me right up (right up, right up)
and He makes me to stand
Because when I’m troubled
I’ll wait for the touch of God’s hand
I once had a vision (vision, vision)
as I knelt to pray
I saw Jesus coming
and the world pass away
And then I was troubled (troubled, troubled)
but He makes me to stand
Because when I’m troubled
I’ll wait for the touch of God’s hand
Thank God for a mother (mother, mother)
who taught me to pray
So I can be ready
on the great judgement day
When problems arise (arise, arise)
that I don’t understand
I’ll kneel down and wait–yes, I’ll wait
I’ll wait for the touch of God’s hand

JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE
Traditional
I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
CHORUS:
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
Through this world of toil and snares
If I falter, Lord, who cares
Who with me my burden shares
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee
CHORUS
When my feeble life is o’er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore
CHORUS

ONE LIFE
by David Via & Ronnie Bowman
Never claimed to have much money
no mansions do I own
There are those who criticize me
but at least I’m not alone
‘Cause I got friends and all my family
and they love me for who I am, not what I’ll be
There are those who curse the losers, even the winners
but they can’t see
CHORUS:
We only have one life, let someone live it
Why don’t we give up intolerant ways
We only have one world and others live in it
Why don’t we give love instead of hate
No one knows all the answers
We’re still searching to find the way
I’m not worried about tomorrow
I got all I can handle today
I don’t want to judge my brothers or my sisters
let’s just love them for who they are or let them be
I know some despise the weaker and hate the stronger
but as for me
CHORUS
CHORUS
Instead of hate, why don’t we give love

A MOTHER'S LAST WORDS TO HER DAUGHTER
Traditional
A mother called her daughter to her dying bed
and laid her hands gently on her daughter's head
And grabbed her up tightly in her arms
Said, I will not be with you very long
Oh daughter, God is soon gonna carry me home
but you must remember when I'm dead and gone
Oh, I must leave you in this old world alone
but you know God will take you safely home
CHORUS:
Bye and bye, I'm going to see the king
Bye and bye, I'm going to see the king
Bye and bye, I'm going to see the king
Lord, I don't mind dyin', I'm a child of God
Now, you might do things you don't consider no harm
but God in heaven, He knows that you've done wrong
So, you better let dancing, an' card parties all go by
so that you can reach your heavenly home on high
CHORUS

THE OLD CROSS ROAD
by Bill Monroe
Oh, my brother take this warning
Don't let old Satan hold your hand
You'll be lost in sin forever
You'll never reach the promised land
CHORUS:
The old crossroad now is waiting
Which one are you gonna take
One leads down to destruction
the other to the Pearly Gate
One road leads up to Heaven
The other goes down below
Jesus, our Savior will protect you
He'll guide you by the old crossroad
CHORUS
Soon, your life will be over
You'll have to face the old crossroad
Will you be ready then, my brother
to shun the one who's down below
CHORUS

OAK GROVE CHURCH
by Don Reno
There's an old church so dear, standing lonesome and still
and in memory it's still to me
A place still so sweet where I heard as a boy
the old hymn Nearer My God To Thee
CHORUS:
Oh the mem.........ories untold
Oh the wonderful, beautiful memories untold
Oak grove.......................of old
In that old precious oak grove of old
*Will live on till the end of time
For the Sav.................ior was there
For the wonderful, heavenly Savior was there
Each time........................the bells tolled
Yes, each time that old church bell would toll
*Looking for His lost sheep to find
There I heard mother sing and I heard daddy pray
with the tears running down their face
Many now have passed on whose souls there were saved
while we all sang Amazing Grace
CHORUS
There's still an oak grove where I played as a boy
and I'm sure there is still a well
And I know every spring sweeter still the birds sing
Some will nest in the old church bell
CHORUS

HE DID RISE
by Mark Anderson
Early on a Sunday, the women at the tomb
found the rock was rolled away, His body had left the room
An angel said to them while clad in glowing white
Do not look among the dead for the One who is alive
CHORUS:
He did rise (Jesus is risen, cleared a path to glory)
He did rise (Jesus is risen, cleared a path to glory)
He did rise (Jesus is risen, cleared a path to glory)
and the way (the way is) written in the book of our Lord
He is not here, He has been freed
Remember what He said to you in Galilee
The Son of Man must die by sinners crucified
that He may lead us all to grace when in triumph He will rise
CHORUS
Do not be afraid, Jesus said to the three
Go and tell my brothers, Meet in Galilee
He said, Tell all the people everywhere
that the Son of Man did rise and He truly is the Way
CHORUS

ORPHAN GIRL
by Gillian Welch
I am an orphan on God's highway
but I'll share my troubles if you'll go my way
I have no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
I have had friendships pure and golden
but the ties of kinship, I have not known them
I know no mother, no father, no sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
But when He calls me, I will be able
to meet my family at God's table
I'll meet my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
No more an orphan girl
Blessed Savior make me willing
and walk beside me until I'm with them
Be my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
I am an orphan girl
I am an orphan girl

SATAN’S JEWELED CROWN
by The Louvin Brothers
CHORUS:
Satan's jeweled crown I've worn it so long
but God for my soul has reached down
His love set me free, He made me His own
And He helped me cast off Satan's jeweled crown
If I could be king or ruler of nations
where jewels and diamonds abound
I'd rather
know that I have salvation
then to know my reward was Satan's jeweled crown
CHORUS
When I lived my life so reckless and evil
drinking and runnin’ around
The things I would do, they were the will of the devil
I would give him my soul for Satan's jeweled crown

WHO'S THAT KNOCKIN' AT MY DOOR
by Pat Enright
CHORUS:
Who's that knockin' at my door, have I heard that knock before
Is it evil tryin' to get into my room
Who's that tappin' at my window, who's callin' me to go
to a place that is filled with dark and gloom
Oh this life that I'm livin’, it seems so unforgivin'
I find trouble everywhere that I go
I always seek it first just to quench my burnin' thirst
in waters that are cool as fallin' snow
CHORUS
But the waters are also deep, what you sow you must reap
Now, I hear a knocking at my door
It's evil standing outside, there's no place to run an' hide
Bless my soul, it pressed me to the floor
CHORUS
Oh, I've been down that pathway, it always leads the wrong way
But this time, I don't think I'll be back
It's like a freight train pullin’ me, there's a dark tunnel ahead I see
This train's goin' down a one-way track
CHORUS

STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER

Not my father, not my mother, but it’s me, oh Lord
Standin’ in the need of prayer
CHORUS:
It’s me (it’s me) it’s me, oh Lord
Standin’ in the need of prayer
It’s me (it’s me) it’s me, oh Lord
Standin’ in the need of prayer
Not the preacher, not the deacon, it’s me, oh Lord
Standin’ in the need of prayer
Not the preacher, not the deacon, it’s me, oh Lord
Standin’ in the need of prayer

Not my brother, not my sister, it’s me, oh Lord
Standin’ in the need of prayer

Standin’ in the need of prayer

THE FAR SIDE BANKS OF JORDAN
by Terry Smith
I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a journey on my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me want to stay
and my one regret is leaving you behind
If it proves to be His will that I am first to go
and somehow I’ve a feeling it will be
When it comes your turn to travel likewise don’t you feel lost
for I will be the first one that you see
CHORUS:
And I’ll be waiting on the far side banks of Jordan
I’ll be waiting drawing pictures in the sand
And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout
and come running through the shallow waters reaching for your hand
Through this life we’ve labored long to earn our meager fare
It’s brought us trembling hands and failing eyes
I’ll just rest here on the shore and turn my eyes away
until you come then we'll see paradise
CHORUS

SHUT UP IN THE MINES AT COAL CREEK
Traditional
The birds are sweetly singing
and the sun is shining bright
But in our place of toiling
It is as dark as night
CHORUS:
Shut up in the mines at coal creek
I know we're bound to die
But if we'll trust in Jesus
our souls to heaven will fly
Oh, I see my loved one
My wife is in distress
She does not know that her husband
is going home to rest
CHORUS
The sky is falling, my darling
and death is right at hand
I'm going home to heaven
to live in a better land
CHORUS

GET THEE BEHIND ME
by Mary Henderson
Mean old Satan, wanting to find you
Waiting to catch you, wanting to keep you
Round every corner, around every bend
He wants to take you in
You got to hide, oh, you got to run
or Satan will get you, your soul he’ll win
Where will you run to, where will you go
Oh, who will protect you and keep you from sin
Get thee behind me, mean old Satan
You’ll never find me, you’ll never find me
Mean old Satan, get thee behind me
You’ll never find me here
Behind the rock, the solid rock
Oh, that’s where I’ll hide, oh, that’s where I’ll stay
Behind the rock where Moses stood
Behind that rock I’ll find a hiding place
Mean old Satan, knows what he’s after
Hush, here he comes now, he’ll steal your soul
He’ll take it away and he’ll be your master
He wants you for his own
Don’t let him find you, don’t let him catch you
You’ve got to hide, oh, you’ve got to pray
Behind the rock where Moses stood
Behind that rock you’ll find a hiding place
