God Trains Our Hands for War
As Christians, we know we’re in a war. Sometimes, though, it can seem like the battle is between us and the clock. We’re busy. We’re tired, and it feels like we just don’t have enough time or energy to get things done in a day — much less in the week, month, or year we have before we look up and realize that another one of those is gone as well. We tell ourselves that something’s got to give, so we look at our schedules and start to prioritize. Unfortunately, for many Christians, the first things we start to cut when things get tough are the very things God uses when He trains our hands for war.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus (Hymn)
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

The Hallelujah Side
The Hallelujah Side
1. Once a sinner far from Jesus,
I was perishing with cold,
But the blessèd Savior heard me when I cried;
Then He threw His robe around me,
And He led me to His fold,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.
Refrain
Oh, glory be to Jesus, let the hallelujahs roll;
Help me ring the Savior’s praises far and wide,
For I’ve opened up tow’rd heaven
All the windows of my soul,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side.
2. Tho’ the world may sweep around me
With her dazzle and her dreams,
Yet I envy not her vanities and pride,
For my soul looks up to heaven,
Where the golden sunlight gleams,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side. [Refrain]
3. Not for all earth’s golden millions
Would I leave this precious place,
Tho’ the tempter to persuade me oft has tried,
For I’m safe in God’s pavilion,
Happy in His love and grace,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side. [Refrain]
4. Here the sun is always shining,
Here the sky is always bright;
’Tis no place for gloomy Christians to abide,
For my soul is filled with music
And my heart with great delight,
And I’m living on the hallelujah side. [Refrain]
5. And upon the streets of glory,
When we reach the other shore,
And have safely crossed the Jordan’s rolling tide,
You will find me shouting Glory
Just outside my mansion door
Where I’m living on the hallelujah side. [Refrain]

Two Winning Hands
Some lawyers can win
And some doctors can heal
Your ole banker can lend
Til all your pockets are filled
But if yours is the case
Of the sin stricken soul
For the problem you face
There's only one place to go
Just climb up that mountain
Where still springs the fountain
That sparkeling crimson
Called Calvary's flood
That same Jesus you've heard of
Can take a black heart without love
Wash it in red blood
And make it whiter than snow
Don't gamble on life
With all your luck and your skills
Cause ya can't play the cards
Ole man death's gonna deal
The bible has said
Who the loser's gonna be
There's only two winning hands
And they were nailed to a tree

The Son Hath Made Me Free
I was once in Egypt’s bondage,
But deliverance came to me,
And I’m living now in Canaan,
For the Son hath made me free.
Refrain
I am dwelling now in Canaan,
Jesus’ blood avails for me;
I am free from condemnation,
For the Son hath made me free.
I was once a slave to Satan,
And he worked his will in me,
But I’m bound by sin no longer,
For the Son hath made me free.
Refrain
Ere I entered into Canaan,
Inbred sin remained in me;
But from it I’ve found a cleansing,
For the Son hath made me free.
Refrain
All my fear, all condemnation,
All that stood ’twixt God and me,
Praise His name! are left behind me
For the Son hath made me free.
Refrain

I Want to Know How It Feels
My momma and daddy talked about going home
Since I was just a babe on their knees
They said that nothing compared to what was waiting up
There how one day we would finally be free
Well, I've never seen it but I keep on believing it
Will be a place like I've never known
I keep my eyes on the sky 'cause my soul wants to fly
Lord, my heart is ready to go
Chorus
I want to know how it feels
To make my way down the streets of gold
I want to know how it feels
To have a talk with the saints of old
I want to know what it's like
To rest my feet by the River of Life
I've heard of heaven and I know that it's real
I want to know how it feels
Sometimes I get weary from this life that I live
It seems that peace is something I'll never find
I try to lighten my load when all that I've got to show
Is seven hundred things on my mind
Well, I'm seeing visions of a crystal clear river
Where sin's forgotten without a trace
More than I've ever dreamed my eyes long to see the
Look of love on my Savior's face

This Is Just What Heaven Means to Me
This Is Just What Heaven Means to Me
This Is Just What Heaven Means To Me
A country where no twilight shadows deepen
Unending days where night will never be
A city where no storms will ever gather
Ohh, this is just what Heaven means to me
What will it be when we get over yonder
And join the throng upon the glassy sea?
Will join our loved ones and crown Christ forever
Oh, this is just what Heaven means to me
See, it's a place where there is no misunderstanding
Out there from all enmity and strife we'll be free
There no unkind words that wound the heart are spoken
And this is just what Heaven means to me
What will it be when we get over yonder
When we'll join the throng upon the glassy sea
We'll join our loved ones and crown Christ forever
Oh, this is just what Heaven means to me
Oh, this is just what Heaven means to me

I'm Going That Way
I'm Going That Way
I’ve heard of a land of joy and peace and wonderful light,
A beautiful place of mansions fair and skies ever bright,
Where all who believe the Savior dear, forever shall stay,
And having been saved by grace divine, I’m going that way.
Refrain:
I’m going that way, I’m going that way,
And Jesus the Savior I adore is with me each day;
I’m clinging to Him, and never to stray,
Yes, singing His praises all day long,
I’m going that way.
The glorious news I tell and sing, as onward I go,
That those who are still astray in sin my Savior may know,
I want them to sing His praise above, some beautiful day,
For glory to Him who died for me, I’m going that way. [Refrain]
I know I shall meet Him at the gate, when trials are past,
I know I shall meet Him face to face in glory at last,
And oh, I believe that when we meet “well done” He will say,
For trusting His soul-redeeming love, I’m going that way. [Refrain]

As Soon As I Touch Calvary
I'll Be Alright As Soon As I Touch Calvary
Friend don't worry about this heavy load I carry
Don't be concerned if it sends me to my knees
For I know a place where all my load will lighten
I'll be alright as soon as I touch Calvary
Chorus
If my feeble hands of faith could only reach out
Through the dark and dreary storm of unbelief
If he'll slip his nail scarred hand into my hand
I'll be alright as soon as I touch Calvary
Very soon now I'll reach the hill of Golgotha
I'll touch the cross that was fashioned from a tree
And if one precious drop of his blood touches me
I'll be alright because now I've reached Calvary

He Keeps Me Singing (Hymn Jesus, Jesus, Jesus)
He Keeps Me Singing
There's within my heart a melody;
Jesus whispers sweet and low,
"Fear not, I am with you, peace, be still,"
in all of life's ebb and flow.
Refrain:
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
sweetest name I know,
fills my every longing,
keeps me singing as I go.
All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
stirred the slumbering chords again. [Refrain]
Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,
trials fall across the way;
though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
see His footprints all the way. [Refrain]
Feasting on the riches of His grace,
resting 'neath His sheltering wing,
always looking on His smiling face,
that is why I shout and sing. [Refrain]
Soon He's coming back to welcome me
far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall reign with Him on high. [Refrain]
