Romans
Paul wrote to Rome to establish
Believers to walk in the way.
Walking by faith as their habit,
To strengthen each other and pray.

Jesus shared his heart with thoseWho traveled with him day by day.
When his life was soon to end,
He told them what he had to say.
You healed me O Lord, and I am healed.You saved me, and I am saved.
To You alone we gladly yield,
For Your only Son You gave.
Believers Go Singing Along
[Sung to the tune of “The Caissons Go Rolling Along”]
With our thoughts, up above,
Walking in our Father’s love,
And believers, go singing along.
In and out, up and down,
Speaking truth, all over town,
And believers, go singing along.
Let’s Open Our Hearts to the Father
Let’s open our hearts to the Father,
Let’s sing with a fervor and love,
Let’s put aside each fear and bother,
Let’s bask in His grace from above.

Fishers of Men
Not catching with hook and a spindle,
Nor netting with taught, woven twine.
But lighting a fire to kindle,
Deep love that will bring life divine.

Rise Up O Blessed Children
“Let not your heart be troubled,”His words ring in my ear,
And finding peace in Jesus,
I lose all doubt and fear.
My shepherd and my Savior,
My brother, Lord, and friend,
I trust my life to Jesus.
He’s faithful to the end.

Sounding Out
Way down deep in Ozark land, in hills so rich and green,There lives a treetop hollow-dweller, that is rarely seen.
You can hear him daily, with his rat-a-tat-a-tat,
And there is just no question, where old “redhead’s” really at!

Moving Ahead
Why do I remember, the past and my mistakes?Why do I keep running back, where fear and worry takes
Me to where I don’t want, to go or ever live?
Now’s the time to take a stand, accepting all God gives!
