Selah Album

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were just northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is coming true

Every long lost dream, lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were just northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into your loving arms
This much I know, is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you
Yes, God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you

The gentle healer came into our town today
He touched blind and the darkness left to stay
But more than the blindness
He took their sins away
The gentle healer came into our town today

The gentle healer came into our town today
He spoke one word that was all he had to say
And one who had died just rose up straight away
The gentle healer came into our town today

Oh he seems like just an ordinary man
With dirty feet and rough but gentle hands
But the words he says are hard to understand
Yet he seems like just an ordinary man

The gentle healer He left our town today
I just looked around and found he'd gone away
Some folks from town who followed him they say
The gentle healer is the truth, the life, the way
The gentle healer it the truth, the life, the way

One day eyes that are blind will see you clearly
And one day all who deny will finally believe
One day hearts made of stone will break in pieces
And one day chains once unbroken will fall down at your feet

So we wait
For that one day
Come quickly, we want to see Your…

[Chorus:]
Glory
Every knee falls down before thee
Every tongue offers you praise, with
every hand raised
Singing Glory
To you and unto you only
We'll sing Glory to Your name

One day voices that lie will all be silenced
One day all that's divided will be whole again
One day death will retreat and wave it's white flag
One day love will defeat the strongest enemy 
So we wait

For that one day
Come quickly, we want to see your….

[Chorus:]
Glory
Every knee falls down before thee
Every tongue offers you praise, with
every hand raised
Singing Glory
To you and unto you only
We'll sing Glory to Your name

We know not the day or the hour
Or the moments in between
But we know the end of the story…
When we'll see your…

[Chorus:]
Glory
Every knee falls down before thee
Every tongue offers you praise,
every hand raised
Singing Glory
To you and unto you only
We'll sing Glory to Your name

I will sing of my Redeemer
He who took the nails for me
I've been purchased, I've been pardoned
Bound to Him I'm truly free

I will sing of my Redeemer
How He sought me while a slave
Loosed me from the curse of sin and
From the power of the grave

[Chorus:]
I will sing of my Redeemer
Lift my voice to praise my Lord
Ransomed by His blood and mercy
I am His forevermore

I will sing of my Redeemer
He who bore my cross, my curse
Came a servant, chose to suffer
Lifted up and cast from earth

I will sing of my Redeemer
Lift my voice to praise my Lord
Ransomed by His blood and mercy
I am His forevermore

I will sing
I will sing

I will sing of my Redeemer
Tell about the grace I've known
Here on earth with those forgiven
And one day around His throne

[Chorus:]
I will sing of my Redeemer
Lift my voice to praise my Lord Ransomed by His blood and mercy
I am His forevermore

Mary, sweet Mary, your heart overflows
Deep in the night, child, a babe is born.
Sacred and holy, blameless and pure,
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your child is born.

Mary, sweet Mary, so strong, yet so frail
Carried a baby sent to save the world.
Wise men still seek Him and find in Him 
peace.
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your King is born.

All of the angels danced as heaven sang
All of the earth stood so still and so peacefully.

Mary, sweet Mary, God's precious child
Blessed redemption is found in His eyes.
All creatures great and small,
He came for all.
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight your Savior's born...
Mary, sweet Mary, tonight our Savior is born...

When I die don't cry for me
In my father's arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole

Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches light
Come and eat from Heavens store
Come and drink, and thirst no more

So weep not for me my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to Him
Who will raise the dead again

It don't matter, where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter, where I lay
All my tears be washed away

It don't matter, they're washed away
It don't matter, they're washed away
It don't matter, they're washed away

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It don't matter where you bury me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They're washed away
They're washed away

Well there ain't no grave
gonna hold this body down
well there ain't no grave
gonna hold this body down

When I hear that trumpet sound
gonna get up out of the ground
cause there ain't no grave
gonna hold this body down

Go down yonder Gabriel
Place your foot on the land and the sea
But don't you blow that trumpet now
until you hear from me

Well there ain't no grave
gonna hold this body down
well there ain't no grave
gonna hold this body down

I said look way over Jordan
what do you think I'd see
I saw a body of holy angels
and they're coming after me
I cried….

Meet me Jesus
meet me in the middle of the air
I'm gonna rise to meet my Lord
and say good bye down here

Well there ain't no grave
gonna hold this body down
well there ain't no grave
gonna hold this body down

One day they'll carry me out of the graveyard
like my grandma and my grandpa
but don't cry for me, don't cry for me
cause on the resurrection morning
we'll all get up out of the ground

Oh Lord I come with heart here open,
For in my hour of darkness I'm in need.
Seeking the joy of love unspoken
Oh Lord be Thou near to me.

And the holy voices "Hallelu!"
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.

Though In this burden of my making
Yet in the shadows still a light I see
Maker whose love is not forsaking
Oh lord be thou near to me

And the holy voices “Halleluja!”
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.

And the holy voices "Hallelu!"
Ever will Thy reign be.
As I wander through this life,
Oh Lord, be Thou near to me.

Oh Lord
Be thou near
To me.

I find no hope within to call my own
For I am frail of heart, my strength is gone
But deep within my soul is rising up a song
Here in the comfort of the faithful one

I walk a narrow road through valleys deep
In search of higher ground, on mountains steep
And though with feet unsure, I still keep pressing on.
For I am guided by the faithful one.

Faithful, faithful to the end,
My true and precious friend,
You have been faithful,
Faithful, so faithful to me

I see your wounded hands, I touch your side
With thorns upon your brow you bled and died
But there's an empty tomb, a love for all who come
And give their hearts to you, the faithful one.

Faithful, faithful to the end,
My true and precious friend,
You have been faithful,
Faithful, so faithful to me

And when the day is dawned and when the race is run
I will bow down before God's only Son
And I will lift my hands in praise for all you've done
And I will worship you, my faithful one

Sweet Jesus, my Savior,
you are my faithful friend
You made me, you know me
You see my every sin
And my soul is amazed
by this gift of your grace
And these arms that take me in

Sweet Jesus, my Savior,
You are my faithful friend
Sweet Jesus, my shelter,
you are my faithful friend
The refuge that I run to
when my world comes closing in
Why should I be afraid when
I know I am saved
By the arms that take me in
Sweet Jesus, my shelter,
you are my faithful friend

Sweet Jesus, my shepherd,
you are my faithful friend
You hold me, you lead me,
I'll follow til the end
And once more I will say
on that beautiful day
When your arms take me in
Sweet Jesus, my shepherd,
you are my faithful friend

Sweet Jesus my Savior you are my faithful friend.

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals He's waiting
and watching
Watching for you and for me

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals He's waiting
and watching
Watching for you and for me

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner, come home

Why should we tarry when
Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and
head not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me

Oh! for the wonderful love He
has promised
Promised for you and for me
Tho' we have sinned He has mercy
and pardon
Pardon for you and for me

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary, come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, oh sinner, come home

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
