"Souls Hang In The Balance"
Based on John 5:24

1.
See the young man walkin' down the street.
He's shufflin' along, starin' at his feet.
If only someone told him, if he only knew.
"Son, Jesus Christ gave His life for you.
Yes He did." And now . . .

Refrain:

Souls hang in the balance. Souls hang in the balance.
Souls hang in the balance. Do I care? Oh, do I care?

2.
Well, maybe it's your parents, yeah, your mom and dad.
They don't know the Lord and it makes you sad.
And when you look back at all they've done for you.
Do you love them enough to tell them the truth? Do ya now?

Because . . .

REFRAIN INSTRUMENTAL

3.
When I was still in sin Jesus died for me.
He paid the price, yeah, my penalty.
He died on the cross, then He rose again.
And all He wants now is for us to be in Him. Yeah, be found in Him

Because . . .

"The Lord Will Watch Over You"
Psalm 121

1.
I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He watches over you and won't slumber; He watches over you and won't sleep.
The Lord is the shade at your right hand. He makes level paths for your feet.

Refrain:

The Lord will watch over you, your coming and your going.
The Lord will watch over you, both now and forever more.
The Lord will watch over you, your coming and your going.
The Lord will watch over you, both now and forever more.

2.
The sun will not harm you by day. The Moon will not harm you by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm; He will watch over your life.
I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

"An Ordinary Hero"

1.
He's just an ordinary hero, he works from eight to five;
He goes to church on Sunday, to keep it all alive.
His family, they go with him, you know he leads them by and by,
Oh, they love him and respect him and this often makes him cry.

Refrain:

You know an ordinary hero can get to work on time
Build a table, chair or cabinet, push a broom or make a sign.
It's not the thing he does that makes this man to shine,
But the courage of a humble heart and a will to draw the line.

2.
I've often marveled at him as he goes about his life.
The father of his children and the husband of his wife.
And he always has the time to share when his work is done,
His door is always open when his little boy cries out "Son!"

REFRAIN

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

3.
He can work well with hand hands and tools, therein his skill does lie
He's always willing to help a friend, always willing to give it a try.
And if you ask him how's he doin'? He'll tell you that he's blessed
And that the Lord has given him all the very best.

REFRAIN

It's not the thing he does that makes this man to shi-i-hi-ne.
But the courage of a humble heart and a will to draw the line.

"(You Make) A Road In The Wilderness"
Isaiah 43:19

1.
I am lost and I am dry
And I feel like I won't get by
Though Your mercies everyday are new
There's still something I can't get through.

Refrain:

You make a road in the wilderness
For those like me who cannot see
You make a road in the wilderness
For those like me who cannot see

Seeing only what You've not done yet

Help me Lord it all depends on You.

Keep me as the apple of Your eye
Hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

"I've Got Joy In The Morning"

1.
I've got joy in the morning when I open my eyes; I've got love comin' at me every way.
My wife and my children oh, the twins are wide awake, sayin',
"Come on Dad, it's a brand new day!"

Refrain:

But it wasn't long ago this joy I could not know.
This peace I could not even conceive.
When I was lyin' on the floor, not carin' to live no more,
That's when He finally broke through-- in His timing!
Now I am happy in the Lord. That's the way I know it should be.
And Lord, I pray, if You took it all away I'd still find my joy in You.
I've got joy in the mornin'. Oh, Yes I do. I've got joy in the mornin'.

But it wasn't long ago this joy I could not know.

Teach me to love like You do
So that Your light comes shining through;

And Jesus You know that I'm counting on You.

Thinking I knew what I did not.

Yes, we're gonna go high than the Saddleback Mountain
Gonna fly away on a swing up in the air.
Imagine for a moment this precious time you spend
Has been suspended and this moment may never end.

The time goes tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick
Time goes so fast some times it makes me sick.
I want to hold you I want to hold you I want to hold on to you.

Gonna fly away on a swing up in the air.

I want to make every moment last.

"How Could You Die For Me?"

1.
On nights when I feel all alone Mornings that seem blue
Your Word comes in a time of prayer Brings me back to You.
Sometimes when I feel unsure Don't know what to do
Your smiling face comes gently here Your love pulls me through.

Refrain:

And I'll lean, yes, I'll lean, hard on You Lord
I'll never think of leaving I never could afford
To lose the life You've given me. The gift that came for free
But paid for in a Savior's blood How could You die for me?

2.
When I feel it's not enough When feelings start to rule
You gently help me then to see It all depends on You.
For my mind plays tricks and turns around To thinking that it's me.
But every time I start to fall It's Your face I see.

REFRAIN
BREAK (VERSE)

3.
So now my Lord I won't complain And tell You life's not fair.
The only life I want to live Is one where You are there.
Troubled times will come and go These times that make me strong
In the weakness of a broken man Who sings this hopeful song.

END TAG: How could You die for me?

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Praising my Savior all the day long;

Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
