Gideon's Songbook



One Tin Soldier.


Listen children to a story,
That was written long ago,
About a kingdom on a mountain
And a valley folk below,
On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath a stone,
And the valley people swore
They'd have it for their very own.
Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend
Do it in the name of heaven,
You'll be justified in the end
There won't be any trumpets playing
Come the Judgement Day,
On the bloody morning after,
One tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill,
Came a message from the mountain,"With our brothers
We will share,
All the secrets of the mountain,
All the treasure buried there.
(Chorus)
So the valley cried in anger,"Mount your horses,
Draw your swords," and they killed the mountain people
And they claimed their just reward,
Now they stood next to the treasure,
On a mountain,dark and red,
Turned the stone and looked beneath it,
"Peace on earth" is all it said.
(Chorus)


Secret Ambition


By Michael W.Smith
Young man up on the hillside
Teaching new ways
Each word winning them over
Each heart a kindled flame
Old men watch from the outside
Guarding their prey
Threatened by the voice of the paragon
Leading their lambs away
Leading them far away
Chorus:
Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the Holy Veil away
Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
(But) Nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away
His rage shaking the temple
His word to the wise
His hand healing on the seventh day
His love wearing no disguise
Some say "Death to the radical
He's way out of line"
Some say "Praise be the miracle
God sends a blessed sign
A blessed sign for troubled times"
Chorus

Grace, grace
To all who love the Lord Jesus Christ
With an undieing love
Grace, grace
To all who love the Lord Jesus Christ
With an undieing love
Give me an undieing love for you
Lord, please set my heart aflame
With passion for your name
Lord I count it all as loss
Please burn away the dross
So that nothing else remains
But an undieing love for you

I got my hopes set high
That's why I came tonight
I came to see the truth,
I came to see the light;
I got my hopes set high
That's why I came tonight
I came to see the truth,
I came to see the light;
And pray to the father but the one thing that I ought to know by
now
If there's anything good that can happen in life,
It's from Jesus

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see alleluia,
Alleilu,Alleluia,Alleilu,Alleluia
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see alleluia,
Alleilu,Alleluia,Alleilu,Alleluia
Jesus loves me this I know
For the bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong alleiluia

Jesus said,
Go and feed the hungry
Jesus said
Give shelter to the poor
Jesus said
Love one another
And he will say well done
My good and faithful one
Well done

Blind man sit by the road and he cry
Blind man sit by the road and he cry
Blind man sit by the road and he cry
He cried oooh
Show me the way
Show me the way
Show me the way
The way to go home
Jesus stood by the road and replied
Jesus stood by the road and replied
Jesus stood by the road and replied
He said oooh

I am the way to go home
Jesus (clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap)
Jesus (clap,clap,clap,clap,clap,clap)

Oooh

He is the way to go home

I am the way and the truth and the life
That's what Jesus said
I am the way and the truth and the life
That's what Jesus said
Without the way there is no going
Without the truth there is no knowing, duh
Without the life there is no growing
I am the way and the truth and the life
That's what Jesus said

Come and go with me to my Father's house
Come and go with me to my Father's house
It's a big, big house
With lots and lots of room
A big, big table
With lots and lots of food
A big, big yard
Where we can play football
It's a big, big house
It's my father's house

I pledge allegiance to the lamb
With all my strength
With all I am
I seek to honor his command
I pledge allegiance to the lamb

Will you be the one
To answer to his call
Will you stand
While those around you fall
Will you be the one
To take His light into a darkened world?
Tell me will you be the one?
In this world full of broken dreams
Where the truth is hard to find
There's a difference you can make
And it all depends on you
Will you be the one
To answer to his call
Will you stand
While those around you fall
Will you be the one
To take His light into a darkened world?
Tell me will you be the one?

There were four men fishing by the sea
There were four men fishing by the sea
When along came a man
When along came a man
Who called out to the men,
Follow me
Oh come
Oh come
And I will make you fishers of men
Leave your fish, leave your nets
For my way, it is best
Leave your boats, leave the sea
Follow me

Oh God
You are my God
And I will ever praise you
Oh God
You are my God
And I will ever praise you
And I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step you lead me
And I will follow you all of my days
Oh God
You are my God
And I will ever praise you
Oh God
You are my God
And I will ever praise you
And I will seek you in the morning
And I will learn to walk in your ways
And step by step you lead me
And I will follow you all of my days
And I will follow you all of my days
And step by step you lead me
And I will follow you all of my days

He lifts me up to the heavenly places and his banner over me is
love
He lifts me up to the heavenly places and his banner over me is
love
He lifts me up to the heavenly places and his banner over me is
love
His banner, over me, is love

Oh let my light shine bright through the night and through the
day all the way for you-yee ha!
Oh let my light shine bright through the night and through the
day all the way for you-yee ha!

This is holy time
We're gathered together
To worship you
To love one another
And as we pray
And as we sing
And as we dance
And as we praise
Oh Lord I beg of you
Just this one thing
Won't you dance with me
Throughout the heavens
And below the sea
And up on a mountain top
Ride with the breeze
Come carry me
Oh Lord I beg of you
Just this one thing
Won't you dance with me

That rolled on his belly like marmelaide jelly
What will people think when they find out I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find out it's true?
What will people think when they find out I'm a Jesus freak?
There ain't no denying the truth

Shine, and shine here for all men
And say it once again
And glorify the Lord
Shine, and make `em wonder what you've got
Make them wish that they were not
On the outside looking for

Go for the gold,
When the race has been abandoned..

The following song is Copyright 1999 by Tyler and The Band.
You'll never be the same
Just let go
And let God
You will see the change
He will make a difference in your life
So just let go
And let God
You've got to let go
Of your life
Praise God on high Jesus Christ

Blessed be the Lord thy God of Israel
From everlasting
To everlasting
Blessed be the Lord thy God of Israel
From everlasting
To everlasting
And let all God's people say Amen(Amen!)
And let all God's people say Amen(Amen!)
And let all God's people say Amen(Amen!)
Now praise the lord!(Make noises)
Yeah!

To the tune of Oh Baby That's the One I Like
(Needs group participation)
I got a friend inside named Jesus Christ
He lives in me constantly
He makes me want to sing
Makes me want to shout
He really knocks me out
Aint nothing in this world makes me feel this way
That's why I act so funny
And it costs no money
Oh baby, that's the one I like!
(Knee,knee,clap,clap,together,cross over)
(Faster)(Knee,knee,clap,clap,together,cross over)


Well you know he's a radical God
Well you know he's a radical God
His name is peace
His name is love
And he left his heaven above
So in case you haven't heard the word
He's a radical God
(knee,knee,clap,clap,roll)

Take me over the shallow water
Where I can stand on my own
Take me over the deepest part
Where I trust in you alone
If holding you is a weakness
Don't let me be so strong
Take me over the shallow water
In your arms
Is where I belong

When he rolls up his sleeves,
He ain't just puttin on the ritz
Our God is an awesome God
There is thunder in his footsteps and lightning in his fists
Our God is an awesome God
Lord he wasn't joking when he kicked `em outta eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed his blood
His return is very clear
So we'd better be believing
That our God is an awesome God
Our God
Is an awesome God
He reigns
From heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God
When the sky was darkness in the void of the night
Our God is an awesome God
Spoke into the darkness and created all the light
Our God is an awesome God
The judgement and wrath he poured out on Sodom,
The mercy and grace he gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten
That our God is an awesome God
Our God
Is an awesome God
He reigns
From heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God
