"Altar of Peace" By Mahalia Jackson

Everyone should pray for an altar of peace

Don't let nothing stand in your way

Pray that love and joy in this world will never cease

And the good Lord will guide you everyday

I pray every night for an altar of peace

Candles glow so bright with every prayer

And I feel heaven near and the angel release

Messages from the Lord, way up there

When you kneel to pray for an altar of peace

Ask the world to join you and pray

Then you'll feel God's love

And your heart will increase

And His blessing, you know, is everywhere

I Am On the Battlefield for my LORD - In loving memory of Marie Williams

I am on the battlefield for my Lord.
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord,
and I promised Him that I
would serve Him 'til I die;
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord.

Verse 1
I was alone and idle, I was a sinner too.
I heard a voice from heaven say there is work to do.
I took the Master's hand, and I joined the Christian band;
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord.

Chorus

Verse 2
I left my friends and kindred bound for the Promised Land,
the grace of God upon me, the Bible in my hands.
In distant lands I trod, crying sinner come to God;
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord.

Chorus

Verse 3
Now when I met my Savior, I met Him with a smile,
He healed my wounded spirit, and owned me as Hs child.
Around the throne of grace, He appoints my soul a place;
I'm on the battlefield for my Lord.

Chorus

It Is Well by Horatio G. Spafford, 1873

It Is Well

---

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

Refrain

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Refrain

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

Refrain

But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul!

Refrain

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

You Are Loved by Rebecca St. James

We were younger then, you and me, full of dreams, weren’t we?
I went my way, you went yours, where did you go, dear?
Someone said you had left the life we lived together then
This is my way of reaching out cause I remember

This is what I want to say to you
If I had one chance to speak to your heart
You are loved
More than you could ever know

This is what I want to say to you
If I had one chance to tell you something
You are loved
More than you can imagine

Imagine
If I told you would you believe, the narrow road, I did not leave
If I told you would you understand that Love found truth
Are you jaded? Are you hurting now? How I wish that I could tell
Where your heart’s at can you see? Mine has found home

Not sure if Love, made it clear enough
It’s not my love I sing about
Everybody asks, Is God good?
I believe, He is
In fact I know, He is

"In My Home Over There"

When my work on earth is done
At the setting of life's sun

I am going to my home over there
And I shall walk the golden stairs

And I'll be free from every care
I'll be happy in my home over there

In my home over there
That the Lord did prepare

There's gonna be peace there's gonna be joy everywhere
And I shall see His face so fair

And a starry crown I'm going to wear
I'll be happy in my home over there

"The Man Beyond The Clouds"

There's a man waiting way beyond the clouds He's waiting there for you and for me
There's a man waiting way beyond the clouds
He's waiting there to set our spirits free

Oh, why don't you come
And trust this friend of mine
He's proven himself
To me from time to time

Oh, there's a man waiting way beyond the clouds
He's waiting there for you and for me
(Mahalia hums)
He's proven himself
To me from time to time

Oh, there's a man waiting way beyond the cloud
He's waiting there for you and for me

"He Wants It That Way"

Let it rain, rain, rain
He wants it that way

Let it pour, pour pour
He knows what it's for

When it lightens and it thunders
Do you ever stop and wonder
Why he said he wants it that way

Some may smile
While others may cry
All the while

He's watching on high
Count your blessings every hour
God is strong, and He's got power
Everyday, he wants it that way

He made the moon and stars
To lighten the darkest of night
Made the mighty sun and said
Let there be light

Never doubt him for one minute
Read the Good Book
Learn what's in it
And you'll say he wants it that way

(repeat)

"He's Sweet I Know" by Mahalia Jackson

He's sweet I know
He's sweet I know
Dark clouds may rise
And strong winds may blow
But, I can the world
Wherever I may go
That I have found a Savior
And He's sweet I know

(repeat)

I can't forget
When I was sad
Head hanging down
And my soul feeling bad
But, all I could say
Was "Lord, take my heart"
You know, Jesus heard me praying
And He gave me a song

(chorus)

Sometimes I'm tried
By Satan's snares
And my burdens seem
So hard to bear
And I'm talked about, Lord
In whatever I do
But, I know a Savior
And He'll take me on through

"These Are They"

It was on a Lord's day morning
Out on a lonely isle
In the beauty of the dawning, oh yes
As John was in exile

He heard a voice resounding
Across the rolling sky, yeah, the rolling sky
Oh, like mighty, yes, like mighty billows bounding
Oh, John fell down on, yes, his knees

Well, these are they
From every, Lord, every na-nation
Who have washed, washed their gar-garments
Washed, washed them white

Oh, we coming on up
Coming on up through great tribulations
Oh, as they march, march all around
By God's throne

"I Thought Of You & Said A Little Prayer" by Mahalia Jackson

This morning when I woke up
And saw the sun above
I softly said "Good morning, Lord"
"Bless everyone I love"

Then right away, I thought of you
And I said a little prayer
That he would bless us especially
And keep us free from care

I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store
I wished it all for you
Because no one deserved it more

I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow
I know God hears my prayer for you
He hears them all, you know

I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store
I wished it all for you
Because no one deserved it more

I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow
I know God hears my prayer for you
He hears them all, you know

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, oh God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

HE lives! Song by Alfred Ackley

I serve a risen Savior,
He's in the world today;
I know that He is living
whatever men may say;

I see His hand of mercy,
I hear His voice of cheer,
And just the time I need Him,
He's always near.

Refrain:He lives, He lives,
Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way.

He lives, He lives,
Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?

He lives within my heart.

In all the world around me
I see His loving care,
And tho' my heart grows weary
I never will despair;

I know that He is leading
thro' all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing
will come at last.

Refrain

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
to Jesus Christ the King!

The hope of all who seek Him,
the help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
so good and kind.

Praise the LORD by the Imperials

When you're up against a struggle
That shatters all your dreams
And your hope's been cruelly crushed
By Satan's manifested scheme

And you feel the urge within you
To submit to earthly fears
Don't let the faith your standing in
Seem to disappear

CHORUS:Praise the Lord
He can work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord

For the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
That they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him

Now Satan is a liar
And he wants to make us think
That we are paupers
When he knows himself
We're children of the King

So lift up the mighty shield of faith
For the battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ is risen
So the works already done
