IF JESUS IS THERE

VERSE 1
WHEN TO THE LORD I DID PRAY, HE TOOK MY BURDENS AWAY,

THOUGH SKIES ABOVE ME ARE GREY, HIS WORD I'LL EVER OBEY,
AT HIS DEAR SIDE I WILL STAY, TILL HEAVEN I WIN.

OVER YONDER, IT WILL BE HEAVEN FOR ME, IF JESUS IS THERE

I'LL BE OH SO HAPPY, JUST BEYOND THE RIVER
NO MATTER WHERE IT MAY BE, IF JESUS MY LORD IS THERE
IN THAT BRIGHT TOMORROW, THERE'LL BE NO MORE SORROW
IT WILL BE HEAVEN FOR ME, IF JESUS IS THERE
tenor & baritone parts
BE HAPPY, FOREVER, JUST OVER, THE RIVER
NO MATTER WHERE IT MAY BE, IF JESUS MY LORD IS THERE
IN HEAVEN, TOMORROW, THERE'LL BE NO MORE SORROW
IT WILL BE HEAVEN FOR ME, IF JESUS MY LORD IS THERE
VERSE 2
THERE IS A CITY ABOVE, WHERE WE SHALL LIVE IN HIS LOVE,
THERE WITH THE HEAVENLY DOVE, AND ANGELS SO FAIR.
IN THAT SWEET HOME OF THE SOUL, WE'LL LIVE WHILE AGES SHALL ROLL.
WHEN HEAVEN'S GATES SHALL UNFOLD, MY LORD WILL BE THERE.

SONG TWO:
UP TO THE HOUSE OF PRAYER
Key of: C
THERE'S AN OLD TIME GOSPEL MEETIN' GOIN ON FOR US ALL IN THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD.
WELL, COME ON, BROTHER COME ON, LET'S ALL GO UP TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
WELL, COME ON, BROTHER COME ON, LET'S ALL GO UP TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
WHERE MY FRIENDS ALL GET TOGETHER AND WE SHAKE EACH OTHERS HAND
AND WE LEARN THE WAYS OF THE DEVIL AS WELL AS THE WAYS OF THE RIGHTEOUS
MAN.
WELL, COME ON, BROTHER COME ON, LET'S ALL GO UP TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
WELL, COME ON, BROTHER COME ON, LET'S ALL GO UP TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
WHEN THE CHOIR BEGINS TO SING THE SWEETEST SONGS YOU'VE EVER HEARD
AND THE PREACHER OPENS UP THE BOOK AND STARTS READING FROM THE WORD
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF, THE GOOD BOOK DO DECLARE
SO, COME ON, COME ON, LET'S ALL UP UP TO THE HOUSE OF PRAYER.

SONG THREE:
PRAISE THE NAME OF GOD
Key of: Bb
EVERY WHERE YOU GO, TAKE THE NAME OF GOD
AND YOU'LL FIND YOUR WORRIES GROW LIGHTER EACH DAY.
LET HIS LOVE SHINE IN, TO YOUR SIN SICK HEART,
BURDENS WILL BE LIGHTER WHEN GOD IS NEAR.
ONCE I WAS ALONE, NO ONE TO CARE.
THEN JESUS CAME, AND ANSWERED MY PRAYER
HE GAVE ME STRENGTH, THE ROAD HERE TO TROD.
AND EVERYWHERE I GO, I'LL PRAISE THE NAME OF
GOD
SONG FOUR:
I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY
Key of: Eb

DOWN HERE THE BURDENS HEAVY, AND THE ROAD IS ROUGH AND LONG,
SOMETIMES MY FEET GROW WEARY AND SO SORE.
BUT A BRIGHTER DAY IS COMING, SOON I'LL STEP ON HEAVEN'S SHORE,
AND I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ANYMORE.
CHORUS
I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY, WHEN I REACH THE OTHER SHORE,
ALL MY TROUBLES WILL BE OVER, AND I'LL REST FOREVERMORE.
MY EYES WILL BE ON JESUS, AND MY HEART WILL BE AGLOW,
AND I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ANYMORE.
VERSE TWO
SOMEDAY WHEN LIFE IS OVER, AND I'VE SAID MY LAST GOODBYE,
I'LL SEE MY SAVIOR STANDING AT THE DOOR.
THEN I'LL HEAR HIM SAY YOU'RE WELCOME, ALL YOUR CARES ARE LEFT BEHIND,
AND I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ANYMORE.
REPEAT
CHORUS
SONG FIVE:
WELCOME HOME MY CHILD
Key of: D-G
VERSE ONE
I HAD TRAVELED OH SO LONG, WITH NO PLACE TO CALL MY HOME
AND I WONDERED IF I'D EVER FIND THE WAY.
BUT I'M LONGING FOR THE DAY, WHEN I HEAR MY FATHER SAY,
WELCOME HOME MY CHILD FROM ALL YOUR TOIL AND CARE.
CHORUS
WELCOME HOME MY CHILD, MY LORD WILL SAY
WELCOME HOME MY CHILD, WHAT BRIGHT ETERNAL DAY
I'LL PRAISE HIS NAME, THROUGH ETERNITY
WHEN HE SAYS TO ME, MY CHILD YOU'RE WELCOME HOME
VERSE TWO
WHEN AT LAST I END THIS LIFE, WITH ITS TROUBLES AND ITS STRIFE
AND MY FRIENDS ARE GATHERED ROUND TO SAY GOODBYE
NOW DON'T WEEP AND CRY FOR ME, SOON MY JESUS I WILL SEE
AND I'LL HEAR HIM SAY MY CHILD YOUR WELCOME HOME
REPEAT CHORUS
TWICE
SONG SIX:
NEW BORN FEELING
Key of: C
VERSE ONE
GOT A LOT TO TELL YOU BOUT THE LORD TODAY
HOW HE TOOK ME IN AND WASHED MY SINS AWAY
HE FILLED ME WITH THE SPIRIT AND AMAZING GRACE
PROMISED ME A MANSION AND A RESTING PLACE
TOLD ME HOW THE ANGEL BAND WILL SHOUT AND SING
HOW WE GONNA MAKE THE HILLS AND VALLEYS RING
MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON THAT I FEEL SO FINE
ALL MY WEARY TROUBLES HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND
I'VE GOT A NEW BORN FEELING DWELLING IN MY HEART TODAY
BECAUSE THE LOVE OF JESUS CAME INTO MY HEART TO STAY
I NEVER REALIZED THAT I HAD LOST MY WAY
UNTIL THE LOVE OF JESUS WASHED MY SINS AWAY
I'VE GOT A NEW BORN FEELING IN MY HEART
TODAY
SONG SEVEN:
THE LAST MILE OF THE WAY

IF I WALK IN THE PATHWAY OF DUTY, IF I WORK TILL THE CLOSE OF THE DAY,
I SHALL SEE THE GREAT KING IN HIS BEAUTY, WHEN I'VE GONE THE LAST MILE OF
THE WAY.

HERE THE DEAREST OF TIES WE MUST SEVER, TEARS OF SORROW ARE SEEN EVERY DAY,
BUT NO SICKNESS, NO SIGHING FOREVER, WHEN I'VE GONE THE LAST MILE OF THE
WAY.
CHORUS
WHEN I'VE GONE THE LAST MILE OF THE WAY, I WILL REST AT THE CLOSE OF THE
DAY,
AND I KNOW THERE ARE JOYS THAT AWAIT ME, WHEN I'VE GONE THE LAST MILE OF
THE
WAY.
SONG EIGHT:
OLE BROTHER NOAH
Key of: A-Bb
CHORUS
OLE BROTHER NOAH BUILT HIM AN ARK BEFORE THE RAIN STARTED COMIN' DOWN
OLE BROTHER NOAH BUILT HIM AN ARK SO THAT HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN WOULD NOT
DROWN
OLE BROTHER NOAH OBEYED THE LORD'S COMMAND
OLE BROTHER NOAH LIVED TO STAND ON DRY LAND
OLE BROTHER NOAH, A MAN OF GOD, BUILD HIM AN ARK, OH YES.
VERSE ONE
WELL NOW NOAH WENT TO WARN THE PEOPLE LIVIN' IN THE TOWN
HE TOLD THEM OF THE COMING FLOOD, THAT THEY'D SURELY DROWN
THEN THE PEOPLE LAUGHED AT BROTHER NOAH AND WENT THEIR MERRY WAY
AND THEN THE RAIN STARTED FALLING, WHAT AN AWFUL DAY
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE TWO
WELL NOW WHEN THE RAIN STARTED FALLING DOWN FROM THE SKY
THE PEOPLE THEY WERE SHOCKED AND THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THEIR EYES
AND AS THE RAIN STARTED FILLING UP THAT CANYON FLOOR
THE PEOPLE SCREAMED, HELP US NOAH. GOD HAD SHUT THE DOOR.
REPEAT
CHORUS
SONG NINE:
IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN
Key of: Eb-C-Db
VERSE ONE
SOON WE'LL COME TO THE END OF LIFE'S JOURNEY, AND PERHAPS WE'LL NEVER MEET
ANYMORE.
TILL WE GATHER IN HEAVEN'S BRIGHT CITY, FAR AWAY ON THAT BEAUTIFUL SHORE.
CHORUS
IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN, AS WE STRUGGLE THRU THIS WORLD
AND ITS STRIFE,
THERE'S ANOTHER MEETING PLACE SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN, BY THE SIDE OF THE RIVER
OF LIFE.
WHERE THE CHARMING ROSES BLOOM FOREVER, AND WHERE SEPARATIONS COME NO MORE,
IF WE NEVER MEET AGAIN THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN, I WILL MEET YOU ON THAT BEAUTIFUL
SHORE.
SONG TEN:
AFTER THE SUNRISE
Key of: F-Bb
VERSE ONE
SORROWS SURROUND US WHILE TREADING LIFE'S ROAD,
TROUBLES CONFOUND US MAKE HEAVY OUR LOAD.
FETTERS THAT BOUND US, NO LONGER WILL GOAD,
AFTER THE SUNRISE, HOW HAPPY WE'LL BE.
CHORUS
AFTER THE SUNRISE, HAPPY WE'LL BE
WE KNOW THAT AFTER THE SUNRISE, JESUS WE'LL SEE (IN HEAVEN)
ALL WILL BE GLORY, SINGING THE STORY
AFTER THE SUNRISE, HOW HAPPY WE'LL BE.
VERSE TWO
ANGELS ARE WAITING TO CARRY THE NEW,
WHY STAND DEBATING, WHY LONGER REFUSE?
CEASE ALL YOUR HATING, BE CHANGING YOUR VIEWS,
AFTER THE SUNRISE, HOW HAPPY WE'LL BE.
REPEAT CHORUS
