These Are They Lyrics

Song by Gaither Vocal Band

The oceans give up
All the dead that are in them,
The graves open wide
To set captives free
And those who are roaming the earth
Rise to meet them,
Abraham’s seed as the sands of the sea

These are they who have come
Out of great tribulation
They have washed their robes
In the blood of the Lamb,
They have gone through much sorrow
Into great jubilation,
They’re redeemed by the blood of the Lamb

Like a strong, mighty army
Their voices are ringing
The great cloud of witnesses
Sings freedom’s song
As they enter the country
Built by their own Father,
The promised homeland
They’ve looked for so long

And all the pilgrims and all the strangers
Will be no longer strangers
All the tired and the weary wanderers,
They will wander no more
The table is spread for the great celebration,
And the “Welcome Home” banner
Flies over the door

I Bowed on My Knees Lyrics

I dreamed of a city called Glory,
So bright and so fair.
When I entered the gates I cried, “Holy”
The angels all met me there:
They carried me from mansion to mansion,
And oh the sights I saw,
But I said, “I want to see Jesus,
The One who died for all.”

Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
“Holy, Holy, Holy.”
I clapped my hands and sang, “Glory,
Glory to the Son of God.”
I bowed on my knees and cried,
“Holy, Holy, Holy.”
Then I clapped my hands and sang, “Glory,
Glory to the Son of God.”

As I entered the gates of that city,
My loved ones all knew me well.
They took me down the streets of Heaven;
Such scenes were too many to tell;
I saw Abraham, Jacob and Isaac
Talked with Mark, and Timothy
But I said, “I want to see Jesus,
‘Cause He’s the One who died for me.”

Then I bowed on my knees and cried,
“Holy, Holy, Holy.”
I clapped my hands and sang, “Glory,
Glory, Glory.”
I clapped my hands and sang, “Glory”
I clapped my hands and sang, “Glory”
I clapped my hands and sang, “Glory”
“Glory to the Son of God”
I sang, “Glory to the Son of God.”

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see

Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with 10, 000 beside

Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness

Because He Lives Lyrics

Song by Bill & Gloria Gaither

God sent His son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He bled and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave
Is there to prove
My savior lives

And because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

And then one day
I’ll cross the river
And I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then
As death gives way to victory
I’ll see the lights of glory
And I’ll know He reigns

Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives (He lives)

Hallelujah
He lives

Satisfied (Hymn) Lyrics

  1. All my life I had a longing
    For a drink from some clear spring,
    That I hoped would quench the burning
    Of the thirst I felt within.
    • Refrain:
      Hallelujah! I have found Him
      Whom my soul so long has craved!
      Jesus satisfies my longings,
      Through His blood I now am saved.
  2. Feeding on the husks around me,
    Till my strength was almost gone,
    Longed my soul for something better,
    Only still to hunger on.
  3. Poor I was, and sought for riches,
    Something that would satisfy,
    But the dust I gathered round me
    Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.
  4. Well of water, ever springing,
    Bread of life so rich and free,
    Untold wealth that never faileth,
    My Redeemer is to me.

Ivan Parker – Thank You Lyrics

Artist: Ivan Parker

Album: How Great Thou Art

I dreamed I went to heaven,
and you were there with me.
We walked upon the streets of gold,
beside the crystal sea.
We heard the angels singing,
as someone called your name.
We turned and saw this young man,
he was smiling as he came.

(And he said)
Friend you may not know me now.
(Then he said)
But wait,
you used to teach my Sunday school,
when I was only eight.
Every week you would say a prayer,
before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart.

Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you.
(He said)
Remember the time,
a missionary came to your church.
His pictures made you cry,
you didnt have much money but you gave it anyway.
Jesus took the gift you gave,
thats why Im here today.

Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.

One by one they came,
for as the eye could see.
Each life somehow touched,
by your generosity.
Little things that you had done,
sacrifices made.
Unnoticed here on earth,
in heaven now proclaimed.

(Listen now) I know up in heaven,
youre not suppose to cry.
But I am almost sure,
I saw tears in your eyes.
When Jesus took your hand,
and you stood before the Lord.
(He said) My child look around you,
for great is your reward.

Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.
Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am a life that was changed.
Thank You for giving to the Lord,
I am so glad you gave.

Jesus Paid It All Lyrics

Song by Ivan Parker

I hear the Savior say,
Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
Jesus died my soul to save,
My lips shall still repeat

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow

O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow
He washed it white as snow

You Are My All in All Lyrics

Song by Gaither Vocal Band

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all

I’m seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool
You are my all in all

Worthy is Your name

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
Raising again I bless Your name
You are my all in all

When I fall down You pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name

Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God

Only Jesus Lyrics

Song by Gaither Vocal Band

Take the things I once called treasures
Take my castles in the sand
Take my shallow store of knowledge
And the future I once planned
Take all vain accumulations
All awards and claims to fame
Take my hard-earned reputation
Trade it all for His dear name

Give me Jesus, only Jesus
My heart can’t resist His call
For the joy of His sweet sorrow
At His feet I lay it all
Take the friends that I once courted
What I hoped they’d think of me
Please restore Your wealth I
Squandered chasing phantoms foolishly

Give me Jesus, only Jesus
My heart can’t resist His call
For the joy of His sweet sorrow
At His feet I lay it all
Give me Jesus, only Jesus
My heart can’t resist His call
For the joy of His sweet sorrow
At His feet I lay it all
At His feet I lay it all

The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference Lyrics

Song by Gaither Vocal Band

‘Twas a life filled with aimless desperation
Without hope walked the shell of a man;
Then a hand with a nailprint stretched downward,
Just one touch then a new life began.

And the old rugged cross made the difference
In a life bound for heartache and defeat;
I will praise Him forever and ever
For the cross made the difference for me.

Barren walls echoed harshness and anger
Little feet run in terror to hide;
Now those walls ring with love, warmth and laughter,
Since the giver of life moved inside.

Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom;
But at the side of a saint there’s rejoicing,
For life can’t be sealed in a tomb.

Without hope death has wrapped them in gloom;
But at the side of a saint there’s rejoicing,
For life can’t be sealed in a tomb.
