Old Time Religion Medley
arranged by Larry Mayfield (1983)

Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
And it’s good enough for me.
(Repeat)

It was good for my Mother,
It was good for my Father,
It was good for my Brother,
And it’s good enough for me.

Makes me love everybody,
Makes me love everybody,
Makes me love everybody,
And it’s good enough for me.

Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
And it’s good enough for me.

[I've Got That Old Time Religion in My Heart]
[Words and Music by Hurdist Milsap (1941)]

I’ve got that old time religion in my heart,
Away down inside;
I’ve got a new kind of feeling in my heart,
True joys abide.
Nobody knows what it means to me,
Nobody knows but my Lord and me.
I’ve got that old time religion in my heart,
Away down inside.

I’m glad Jesus came, glory to His name,
O, what a friend is He;
He so freely gave His own life to save,
From bonds of sin set free.

I’ve got that old time religion in my heart,
(I’ve got that pure love in my heart,)
Away down inside.
(It is now way down inside.)
I’ve got a new kind of feeling in my heart,
(I’ve got that new peace in my heart,)
True joys abide.
(Where true joys will e’er abide.)
Nobody knows what it means to me,
Nobody knows but my Lord and me.
I’ve got that old time religion in my heart,
(I’ve got that pure love in my heart,)
Away down inside.
(Way down inside.)

Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
Give me that old time religion,
And it’s good enough for me.
(Repeat)

Give me that old time religion,
And it’s good enough for me!

The Love of God
words and music by F.M. Lehman (1917)
arranged by Don Marsh (1945)

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell.

The guilty pair bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child he reconciled
And pardoned from his sin.

O love of God, how rich and pure,
How makes measureless and strong;
It shall forever more endure
The saints and angel’s song.

Could we with ink the fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,

To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry,
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

O love of God, how rich and pure,
How measureless and strong;
It shall forever more endure
The saints and angel’s song.

O love of God, enduring love of God,
O love of God, O love of God!

Praise the Lord with Music
words and music by Jay Althouse (2002)

We praise the Lord with sounds of music,
We praise the Lord with joyful song,
We praise the Lord with voice and trumpet;
For the Lord of all creation
Is the Lord of our salvation,
Let us sing with voices pure and strong.

O, hear the sound of every nation,
O, hear the voices everywhere;
In hymns of praise and adoration
We will tell the wondrous story
Of the Lord who came in glory,
And the Christian love that we all share.

Sing alleluia to the heavens,
Sing alleluia to the sky;
We sing to our creator,
We sing in one great voice;
Sing alleluia, sing alleluia,
Rejoice, rejoice!

We praise the Lord with sounds of music,
We praise the Lord with joyful song,
We praise the Lord with voice and trumpet;
For the Lord of all creation
Is the Lord of our salvation,
Let us sing with voices pure and strong.

We praise the Lord with music,
Sing praise to the Lord with music.

Just A Closer Walk With Thee
arranged by Joe E. Parks (1979)

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.

I am weak but Thou art strong,
Jesus, keep me from all wrong.
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, blessed Lord, close to Thee.

Through this world of toils and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

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.
Just a closer walk with Thee!

Almighty Lord of earth and heaven,
Your hands created all we see.

So great a love, how can it be?
How can it be?

Celebrate Jesus
Words and Music by Gary Oliver (1988)

Celebrate Jesus, celebrate,
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate!
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate,
Celebrate Jesus, celebrate!

He is risen, He is risen,
And He lives forever more;
He is risen, He is risen.
Come on and celebrate
The resurrection of our Lord.

Love Faced A Cross
Words and Music by Michael E. Parks (1989)

The Love of God was sent from heaven
As part of His redemptive plan;
And on a wind-swept hill called Calvary,
God’s love was plainly shown to man.
For, hanging there between two robbers,
Was His precious, holy Son,
Who would give His life a ransom
For the deeds mankind had done.

Chorus:
Love faced a cross for you and me,
And Love would pay the price to set us free.
He bore the punishment for our iniquity;
Love faced a cruel cross there on Calvary.

No greater love can we imagine
Than the love that was displayed
When Jesus walked the road to Calvary
And for us His life He gave.
And through the power of His atonement,
Death became an open door
That would lead us to the Father,
There to live forever more.

Chorus (x2)

Sing Alleluia
Words by Charles Wesley (1739), Music Susan Naylor Callaway

Christ the Lord is risen today,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!

Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!

Love’s redeeming work is done,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!

Death in vain forbids him rise,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise,
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led,
Alleluia, sing Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head,
Alleluia, sing Alleluia!

Made like him, like him we rise,
Alleluia, sing Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies,
Sing Alleluia, Alleluia!
Sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia, sing Alleluia!
