Agape
Refrain:
God's grace abounding, good news astounding
Love, unconditionally
All that I cried for, what Jesus died for
That's Go d's agape to me
He loves little boys with toothless grins
He loves little girls with dimpled chins
He loves children in a special way
For every moment of the day
Refrain
He loves grandpa in his rocking chair
He loves grandma with her silver hair
He loves older folks and tiny tots
Oh, yes He loves us all and lots!
Refrain
He loves rich and poor and old and young
He loves every race and every tongue
He loves have I made it very clear?
That He loves every person here
Yes, He holds each person dear

Jesus Said
It's a cold, dark world and a narrow path
Every boy and girl feels the pain
When temptation comes, there's a hope I have
I remember One felt the same
Refrain:
And Jesus said, "No, no, no, no, no" to Satan and "Yes, yes,
yes," to God
Jesus said, "No, no, no," to all temptation as the narrow way He trod
But Jesus took my, my, my, my flesh upon Him and lived without a sin
So I could say "No, no, no, no, no," to the devil and "Yes, yes,
yes," to Him
Lift your weary eyes, oh you struggling child
For the God we serve was a man
There are stormy skies and the wind is wild
But if Jesus stood, then you can

The Sanctuary
Where does God live? In the sanctuary
What does He do? He forgives
Pouring His love on everyone who lives
Where does Jesus live? In the sanctuary
What does He do? He prays
Time and again for us in these final days
Refrain:
Oh, child of His do you care
To send your heart to Him there?
Where does Jesus live? In the sanctuary
What does He do? He prays
Time and again for us in these final days
Where does Jesus live? In the sanctuary
What does He do? Hears our cries
At our confessions His intercessions rise
Refrain
Where do I go when my heart needs cleansing?
Where does He meet all my needs?
Here by the side of the One who intercedes
Where can be found such love and mercy
Where I am perfectly free
Wings of prayer, take me there, the sanctuary

Count it All Joy
Refrain:
Count it all joy when those fiery trials beset you
Count it all joy we are told
To just count it all joy don't let anything upset you
Don't let anyone ever get you complaining
Just count it all joy
From the pen of the wise apostle
By the inspiration of God
From His own experience He wrote
There's a blessing wrapped in a hassle
Thought at first it strikes us as odd
We will find it easier to quote
When we turn up the corners of our lips and
Refrain
Paul and Silas singing in prison
Maybe two part harmony
Gave a good example of what to do
In a trial make a firm decision
Sing it out even if it's off key
It will be a sweet celestial tune if it comes from a deep desire to

The Moment I Believe
When the snow paints my window with lace
When a warm, furry dog licks my face
When the wind seems to sing of His grace
I believe
When I see someone do something kind
Every rainbow or flower I find
Gives me reason to make up my mind
I believe
Refrain:
All the devil's temptations seem strange
All my feelings and thoughts rearrange
For Jesus lives so deep within and causes the change
The moment I believe
All around me are loved ones and friends
Through their kindness my heart comprehends
I'm so glad that true love never ends
I believe
When I think of what Jesus has done
When I see how God gave us His Son
Then my whole heart is finally won
I believe

Walking
in the Light
Every day the sun comes up
Giving light to every creature
Every precious sparkling drop
Keeps the world alive
Like the earth that needs the sun
We need sunshine for the spirit
Jesus shines for everyone
In His light we thrive
Refrain:
Walking in the light God gave us
Keeping Him in sight
He saves us!
We have copyright
We're made like Him as we behold
Walking in the light it is the way to go
Walking in the light it is the way to go
Light that lights up every man
Shines the brightest in the Bible
Heed the message, yes you can
Waiting for the day
When He shall appear we're told
We shall be like Him, the Savior
Day by day His love behold
Then His love display
Refrain
Bridge:
This is what I'm recommending
Take a little time your spending
Soaking up the rays His sending
To your weary soul
Walking in the light it is the way to go

Mary
There is a story that sets my heart free
It really happened to someone like me
Her name was Mary and she ran away
Jesus the Shepherd found His little stray
Mary took money she saved all her life
Spent it on perfume to honor the Christ
Then when she found Him she worshipped Him there
Washing His feet with her tears and her hair
All of the people who followed God's Son
Did not love Jesus as much as this one
Why did she love Him much more than the rest?
Who is forgiven the most loves Him best

The Strangest Dream
Last night, I had the strangest dream
An angel carried me to heaven's gate
Glory poured out a golden stream
The angel said, "Go right in, celebrate."
But then the angel asked me,
"What if Jesus wasn't there?
What if He was still out on the cross somewhere?"
Refrain:
What would you say? What would you do?
Go in and wait for Him in heaven
Or is Jesus heaven to you?
I woke, my pillow wet with tears
Oh, so happy that it wasn't real
Still how that dream so filled with fears
Changed the way I think and feel
All of us should ask, what we're really longing for
Pretty things for us or the honor of the Lord?

The Bright Home
of Tomorrow
I want to see the children fed, I want to see the devil dead
I want to see that sacred head without a thorny crown
I want to see the saints dance in, I want to see my dad again
And I will see it all when it all comes down
Refrain:
In the bright home of tomorrow, in the bright home of tomorrow
In the bright home of tomorrow, in the bright home of tomorrow
Dogs and kids in happy chase, a friendly and familiar face
Riding in on waves of grace to the shores of golden love
Grassy waves of silver-green, rainbow colors every scene
Wondering "Could this be a dream?" but never waking up
Refrain
And if you think that God loves children, let me hear you clap
When I close my eyes I see them sitting on God's lap
Those cute little chubby-cheeked girls and boys in a field of real-live animal
toys
On a planet of feignless, painless joys where the littlest ones can fly
And the ones who never had a home at all have a home with the name written right
on the wall
And a dog in a yard with a big, red ball
And you never do hear them cry
Refrain
And if you think that God loves adults, let me hear you yell
When I close my eyes I see them doing very well
With those cute little chubby-cheeked girls and boys. . .

Songs of Good News
There are things that bring happiness to every heart
Things that make all of us smile
Kittens that mew, skies so blue
Ponies 'round the ring
Chipmunks chattering
Refrain:
And the voices of children all over the world
Singing songs that are full of good news
There are sounds, oh so beautiful, heavenly sweet
Sounds that bring angels to mind
Symphonies, wind through the trees
Choruses of birds, harmony in thirds
