JUST REMEMBER

                                                     JUST REMEMBER

                                         When your days appear the darkest
                                         And your fortunes continue to fall
                                         When your valleys seem immeasurable
                                         And your mountains seem too tall
                                         Just remember, just remember
                                         God is there
  
                                         When your hopes have turned to ashes
                                         And your dreams have turned to dust
                                         When your granaries are empty
                                         And your silver's turned to rust
                                         Just remember, just remember
                                         God is there
                                                    
                                         When your back is up against the wall
                                         And you've lost your will to strive
                                         When the night has hidden your sunlight
                                         And you've lost your zip and drive,
                                         Just remember, just remember
                                         God is there
                                         
                                         When your friends politely leave you
                                         And you don't know where to turn
                                         When your world has stopped its caring
                                         And has forsaken its concern
                                         Just remember, just remember 
                                         God is there

PLAY BALL!

                                                           PLAY BALL!

                                            From out of the closets once again

                                            Come a bat, a ball, a glove
                                            As youngsters from both far and wide
                                            Warm up for the game I love

                                            Practice is about to begin
                                            For those who like to score
                                            And if you judge by anxiousness
                                            A great season is in store

                                            They're cracking bats and chewing gum
                                            My sons of the sultry swat
                                            They're
eager boys who've left their toys
                                            To show us what they've got

                                            It'll be a strikeout here, a homerun there
                                            Lots of cheers and heartaches too
                                            But they will've grown into little men
                                            Before the season's through

                                            For baseball's quite a game, you see
                                            It's life before your eyes
                                            It teaches those who raise their gloves
                                            To reach gamely for the prize


                                            Around the bases they will run
                                            Footloose and fancy free
                                            And I have yet but one regret
                                            It's them instead of me

                                                 JUST ONE MORE TIME 
                                                                        
                                              Let us feel the gentle breeze 
                                              That cools the summer air 
                                              Let us open up the book of life 
                                              And read the wisdom there 
                                              Let us scatter love thoughts freely 
                                              And show each other that we care, 
                                              Just one more time, just one more time 
    
                                              Let us wander near the quiet brook 
                                              In our youth, it was so clear 
                                              Let us see those smiling faces 
                                              Of our little ones so dear 
                                              Let us roam through field and flower 
                                              Feel the sunlight's golden power 
                                              Just one more time, just one more time  
    
                                              Let our friendship ne'er cease growing
 
                                                                            Have no thorns infest our way 
                                              Let our words be kind and tender 
                                              And show our love by what we say 
                                              Let our winged souls within us soar 
                                              And see life as an open door 
                                              Just one more time, just one more time

                                         CHRIST IS MY SHIELD AND AMOUR

                                             Christ is my shield and armour
                                             He is my trumpet call
                                             He helps me fight my battles
                                             And be victor over all
                                             Christ is my pride and power
                                             He is my liberty
                                             He overcame the chains of sin
                                             And gave new life to me
                                             Christ marches on before me
                                             And this I surely know
                                             Where 'ere he cares to lead me
                                             Most gladly will I go
                                             Through trials and temptations
                                             I dare not shun the fight
                                             For the Lord doth lead me onward
                                             With his sword of truth and right

                                                EASTER (1977)

                                                    Come to the tomb that is empty
                                      Come to the sepulcher bare
                                      Come to the garden rejoicing
                                      Praising our Savior so fair

                                                               Come to the tomb in the morning
                                      Come with your heads held high
                                      Come with hearts that will listen
                                      Listen as Christ draweth nigh

                                      Come to the tomb that is open
                                      Come see the stone rolled away
                                      Come to the tomb and witness
                                      The dawn of a joyous new day

                                      Come to the tomb and meet Jesus
                                      Come with your burdens and sins
                                      Come meet the one that loved you
                                      He gave up his life for his friends

                                      Come to the tomb triuphant
                                      Come meet Jesus, God's son
                                      Come to the tomb that is empty
                                      Come see the victory won

                                                             NO APRIL FOOL

                                                       Help us O Lord
                                                       To draw nigh unto thee
                                                       That our direction may be clear
                                                       That our hearts may be clean
                                                       That we may bless all
                                                        Whom we touch

                                                        Help us to remember
                                                        Thy promises made to us
                                                        And the commitments
                                                        We have made unto thee
                                                        O Lord of our responsibility
                                                        Set us free

                                                        Let there grow
                                                        Between us Lord
                                                        A mutual trust and confidence
                                                        That we may walk hand in hand
                                                        With thee, and be found to be
                                                        No April fool
