Teach Me, Lord

Teach me to love and teach me to live
And teach me to see and yield and forgive
Father, we need You at work and play
So teach me to follow You day by day

Teach me to know Your voice and Your will
And help me to climb my own special hill
You have the plan, so help me to see
The plan You have for me, Lord
Teach me today, I pray

Teach me to love and give and live today

Look How Far You've Come

So you’ve lost your will to live
Seems you’re down to your last friend
And the weight of the world
Keeps tryin’ to pull you in

Don’t give up, don’t give in, give it all to Him
‘Cause He cares so much more than you know
When it seems who you really want to be
Is someone you’ll never become just look how far you’ve come

Though you’ve failed at plans you’ve laid
Don’t forget the steps you’ve made
He has brought you this far
He can take you the rest of the way

Don’t give up, don’t give in, give it all to Him
‘Cause He cares so much more than you know
When it seems who you really want to be
Is someone you’ll never become just look how far you’ve come

I know it’s not all easy easy
But don’t you throw it all away, no
You’ve come to far to turn back now
You’re headed home, you’re not alone

Don’t give up, don’t give in, give it all to Him
‘Cause He cares so much more than you know
When it seems who you really want to be
Is someone you’ll never become just look how far you’ve come

Don’t give up, don’t give in, give it all to Him
‘Cause He cares so much more than you know
When it seems who you really want to be
Is someone you’ll never become just look how far

Don’t forget how far
Just look how far you’ve come

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Well, you know, I took a look over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home, ride the chariot

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

I’m sometimes up, I’m sometimes down
Coming for to carry me home
But still my soul is glory bound
Coming for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I’m coming too
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Well, swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

Eagle Song

I stood and watched an eagle glide
Spread his wings and soar across the sky, so gracefully he flew
Rising effortlessly
I wanted to know just how to be free

Tiny fingers curled ’round mine
Perfectly formed, new born, the image of two
Infinite mystery
I wanted to know where life comes from

What human intellect can’t sway must be explained the way
Earth wisdom, religions of men
Search without end to fill the spirit house within
Simplicity of God somehow escapes man

I reach for the eternal one creation
He was waiting to reveal His purpose in me
He said “This is where life begins
I made your spirit to light on the wind”

Come let’s fly on the wind
Come on let’s fly on the wind
On the wind, on the wind, on the wind

If People

If people would care about people
Jesus would be seen
And if people would help other people
Jesus would be seen

If people would love one another
They would learn what happiness means
And Jesus would be seen

Not in a stained glass window
Not in embracing a tree
Not in some complex philosophy
Nor the doing of religious deeds

But if people would learn to love people
Caring for each other’s needs
Then God will be someone the world can know
And Jesus will be seen

But if people would love one another
They would learn what happiness means
And Jesus would be seen
