Every Child https://t.co/iR6j1FsTsP via @YouTube Every Child

Verse 1 Not every child has a mom
Not every child has a dad
Not every child has heard the story of Jesus
Verse 2 Not every child has been told
Not every child has been shown
That while they sometimes feel alone
They are more valuable than gold
Chorus Every now and then someone comes a long

Guitar in their hand, lifting praises with a song
The story the world leaves behind
Of the love of Jesus Christ
Verse 3 Every child needs to hear

Every child needs to see
The story of God’s plan
To give us eternity
Chorus Every now and then someone comes a long
Guitar in their hand, lifting praises with a song
The story the world leaves behind

Of the love of Jesus Christ
Bridge While the world worships the beauty of gold
They teach of God’s love for every boy and girl
Chorus Every now and then someone comes a long

Guitar in their hand, lifting praises with a song
The story the world leaves behind

Of the love of Jesus Christ
[Guitar and string fill]
The love of Jesus Christ

Jesus Loves the Unborn Children https://t.co/VGOVvODY13 via @YouTube Jesus Loves the Unborn Children

Intro Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the unborn children [pause] of the world

Verse 1 St Peter sent a memo to God
Saying I don’t know what to do
This modern generation is doing something odd
Sending unborn children back to soon

Verse 2 God sent a message back to the Pearly Gates
I’ve seen this coming on
When you see these precious babies coming back too soon
Send them all straight to my Son

Chorus Because Jesus loves the unborn children
All the unborn children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the unborn children of the world
[Lead,Country electric guitar and strings]
Bridge God sent an urgent message to the nursery in the sky
To the kids in line to go below
When you choose your earthly parents and don’t want to come right back
If you pick a Democrat, you’ll have a fifty-fifty chance

But if you do, I’ve got your back

Chorus Jesus loves the unborn children
All the unborn children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the unborn children of the world
Jesus love the children of the world

Big White House https://t.co/7CVNz1H9u7 via @YouTube Big White House
Verse 1 In sixty-three I watched that black limousine,
Drive through Dallas into history.
And through the years the story has only gotten worse.
There was more than a dead man in that hearse.
Chorus There’s a new sheriff in town in a big white house.
Some things can’t be stolen; you’ll soon find out.
Vengeance and pay-back will have their day.
This sheriff is ready to play.
Verse 2 For sixty-two years you thought you got away.
With wars and plagues and lies hid till today.
The tables have turned, have no doubt,
The reckoning is here, there’s no gettin’ out.
Chorus There’s a new sheriff in town in a big white house.
Some things can’t be stolen; you’ll soon find out.
Vengeance and pay-back will have their day.
This sheriff is ready to play.
Lead
Bridge No more hiding behind your chairs in Washington DC.
He’s on your trail and one day soon you will see.
[Spoken] Hell has steel bars and there’s no key.
Chorus There’s a new sheriff in town in a big white house.
Some things can’t be stolen; you’ll soon find out.
Vengeance and pay-back will have their day.
This sheriff is ready to pay.

Live Forever https://t.co/hmUTBMG4qq via @YouTube Live Forever

Verse 1 I was sitting by a stream in Tennessee
When the good Lord walked up to me
I asked Him why the world is full of suffering and pain
He said it’s the everyday choices people make
Verse 2 Everyone is born with a choice of good and bad
You are free to choose wrong and right
The secrets to life and eternity
Are the choices we make, and the reasons why
Chorus He said: I want you [pause] to walk with Me
I want you to talk with Me
I want you to share each day with me
I want you [pause] to live forever
Lead
Bridge Say a simple prayer
Raise your arms to the air
And live every day
Like you’re already there
Because with me by your side [pause] you’re already there
End Chorus [Acapella four-part harmony]
I want you [pause] to walk with Me
I want you to talk with Me
I want you to share each day with Me
I want you [pause] to live forever
To live forever
To live forever

He Never Goes Away https://t.co/4aVrWWxIYB via @YouTube He Never Goes Away

Verse 1 I was talking with my preacher about how we’re supposed to pray
And where God goes until we call His name
Is He waiting round the corner or in a room up in the sky
He said he’s here day and night, right by your side
Chorus He doesn’t come when you call Him or wait to hear His name
He doesn’t listen for you to say amen, then fade way
He’s not waiting at the alter for you to pray
He doesn’t come when you call Him
He never goes away
Verse 2 He doesn’t hang out in your closet with your Sunday best
Or in the drawer with your Bible hiding in the dust
He’s not waiting at the church for you to go
He’s by your side day and night and wants you to know
Chorus He doesn’t come when you call Him or wait to hear His name
He doesn’t listen for you to say amen, then fade way
He’s not waiting at the alter for you to pray
He doesn’t come when you call Him
He never goes away
Lead
Bridge There’s no switch on your knee that turns Him on
Waiting for amen, then He’s gone
Chorus He doesn’t come when you call Him or wait to hear His name
He doesn’t listen for you to say amen, then fade way
He’s not waiting at the alter for you to pray
He doesn’t come when you call Him
He never goes away
Outro He’s not the kind [pause]
You have to wind [pause]

Such is the Kingdom of God https://t.co/O2sKBnd34X via @YouTube Such is the Kingdom of God

Verse 1 As I set by the lake in the hills of Tennessee
An angel of the Lord walked up to me
I asked him to show me the Kingdom of God
He said it’s all right here for you to see

Chorus No suits, no ties, no little lies,
No hats, robes or traditions of old
It’s walks along the shore everyday with our Lord
Such is The Kingdom of God

Verse 2 I asked about the towers that reach to the sky
With their crosses shining on high
And all the pretty clothes and fancy robes
He said that’s all for show

Chorus 2 No suits, no ties, no little lies,
No hats, no robes or traditions of old
It’s walks in the forest everyday with our Lord
Such is The Kingdom of God
Lead
Bridge He bid good day and went along his way
Leaving me in God’s kingdom [pause]
by the lake

Chorus No suits, no ties, no little lies,
No hats, no robes or traditions of old
It’s walks along life’s roads everyday with the Lord
Such is The Kingdom of God
Such is The Kingdom of God
