"Gospel Lyrics"

What You Took From Me Lord I come today to thank you But not for things I've ever mentioned here before Not for blessings you have given or the Joys you promised are in store So As I bow before you Give me the words to express my deepest thanks Not for what You've given But Lord, for what You took away Chorus You took my guilt and shame and all my sinful blame became as yours You opened wide your hands as a guilty man you wore my crown of thorns You took the dept I'd earned and all that I deserved on Calvary Lord thanks for what You've given but most of all thanks for what you took from me Father Please Forgive me for all the times I failed to mention this before I've been so concerned with treasures Went so far as to even ask for more But you've shown me lord what's precious are not the things you've given me today For their worth to me is nothing when compared to what you took away Repeat Chorus You took the dept I'd earned and all that I deserved on calvary Lord Thanks for what you've given but most of all thanks for what you took from me When My Knees Touch Gold Someday soon I'll hear a voice saying Child UR race is run Then I'll lend to heavens splender for beyond the setting sun And as I approach the shining throne where mercys child was born I shall bow like I've never bowed before Chorus As my knees touch gold at the foot of God's throne all his power and glory will be shown there on bended knee in his pressence I shall be Love will flow when my knees touch gold As I humbly bow before the Lord His eyes will meet with mine and he'll take his nail scarred hand and wipe the tears from my eyes No sorrow there No cross to bear No pain will ever be Just a precious lamb worth Praising throughout eternity Repeat Chorus Without a Valley I've been walking through a valley it was dark and it was drear yet in the middle of my sorrow I heard Jesus say Child I'm still here But without a valley How will I ever know that his strong and gentle hand would never let me go How would I know for sure That I'm secure and safe where ere I go Without a Valley How would I know So I thank you Lord for each trial How your teaching me Your perfect Love For You have shown that I can still have joy inside even though the road seems long and rough Knowing You'll Be There The other day I passed a place You Always liked to go And I picked up the phone to call I thought You'd want to know But I forgot you weren't there I miss you more these days And I'm reminded of your smile And the funny things you'd say Second Verse I see you most at Christmas You were like a little kid You always loved a good surprise And now I must admit That I long more for heaven Than I ever did before You give me one more reason And each day I want it more Chorus Knowing we can spend a lifetime Reminiscing all the past Knowing I can see your face again Where tender moments last It makes me want to go there Knowing I won't be alone Knowing you'll be there Makes it easy to go home Third Verse You left a group of fishermen And somehow You left me too Though I have felt you many times And though You saw me through I've always longed to feel your arms And Look into your eyes And talk forever, Me and You Somewhere in Paradise Repeat Chorus Home Where I Belong They say that Heaven's Pretty And living here is too But if they said that I would have to choose between the two I'd go home Going Home Where I belong Sometimes When I'm dreaming It comes as no surprise That if you'll look you'll see That homesick feeling in my eyes I'm going home, I'm going home Where I belong While I'm here I'll server him gladly And sing him all these songs I'm here, But not for long One day I'll be sleeping When death knocks on my door Then I'll awake to find that I'm not homesick anymore Cause I'll be home, I'll be home When I'm feeling lonely When I'm feeling blue It's such a joy to know that I am only passing through I'm heading home, I'm going home Where I Belong When He was On the Cross I'm not on an ego trip, I'm nothing on my own I make mistakes and often slip Just common Flesh and Bone But I'll prove someday just why I say I'm of a special Kind For when he was on the Cross I was on his mind The Look of Love was on his face Thorns were on his head Blood was on his scarlet robe Stained a crimson red Though his eyes were on the crowd that day He looked ahead in time And when he was on the cross I was on his mind He knew me, Yet he loved me He whose Glory makes The heavens shine So unworthy, of such mercy Yet when he was on the cross I was on his mind When he was on the Cross, I was on his mind
