The McGruders - Warming Up





VS : 1 
I went to visit a church, and it was as quiet as it could be. There was no body praising the Lord, no body but me. Well,,, they said I was emotional, you know I kinda felt out of place. Cause when I go to church, I don't just go to take up space. 

CHO 
I'm just warming up! I'm just warming up! I'm just warming up! For that meeting in the sky. So if you think I'm a little strange, don't you sit around and wait for me to change! I'm just warming up for that meeting sky! 

VS: 2 
When I reach those pearly gates, and they swing open wide, I'm gonna leap for joy, cause I've reached the other side. All my pain and sorrow, up there I will forget, and if you think I shout down here, well you ain't seen nothing yet! 

Repeat CHO 

Alan Jackson - In The Garden









Words and music by C. Austin Miles. 

1. 
I come to the garden alone 
While the dew is still on the roses 
And the voice I hear falling on my ear 
The Son of God discloses. 

Chorus 
And He walks with me, and He talks with me, 
And He tells me I am His own; 
And the joy we share as we tarry there, 
None other has ever known. 

2. 
He speaks, and the sound of His voice, 
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, 
And the melody that He gave to me 
Within my heart is ringing. 

Chorus 

3. 
I’d stay in the garden with Him 
Though the night around me be falling, 
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe 
His voice to me is calling. 

Chorus

The McGruders - I'm Going Home With Jesus

                                      



Words and music--Carroll McGruder 

(Chorus) 
I’m going home with Jesus in the twinkling of an eye, 
I’ve made my reservations for a mansion in the sky; 
I may not know the moment, or I may not know the day, 
But I know that I’ll be leaving when He calls His Church away! 

I’m list’ning for the trumpet to sound most any time, 
And a crown of life that’s waiting, thank God will soon be mine! 
I got my invitation thru a place called Calvary, 
By the precious blood of Jesus, the trip’s been paid for me. 

(Chorus) 

The Captain of the vessel is calling get on board, 
And the destination’s Heaven, safe on that crystal shore; 
Where we’ll meet again the Savior and our loved ones who have gone, 
There to live for all eternity, oh, yes, we’re going home! 

(Chorus)

The McGruders - "Saved by Grace"




The McGruders - "Saved by Grace" - From the video "Come Fly with the McGruders" - 1990 - Carroll McGruder, Priscilla McGruder, and Stan Cook. Feat.Larry Carter

I was alone in the darkness
I could not find my way
But then Jesus shined His light on me
and turned all my night to day

Cho.
Saved by grace
I've been saved by grace
My name is in the Book of Life
and my sins are washed away
Saved by grace
I've been saved by grace
It's not what I deserve
but I'm saved by grace
And when I reach that city
and the gates swing open wide
I'm gonna sing redemption story
of how He brought me from the other side

MercyMe - Just Like Your Father






From the first album, Pleased to Meet You (1995), by MercyMe.




Believe me when I say
You look familiar in a certain way
Believe me when I say
I think I met you some other day
There's something about you that I can see
An it shines right through you an approaches me

Oh but now I know
Oh yes I know
You're just like your father
You got your daddy's ways
You walk so close to him picked up his traits
You're just like your father
Got your daddy's ways
You're just like the man I met when I was saved
You look like your father
You got your daddy's eyes
You got your daddy's hands
You got your daddy's smile
You got your daddy's plans
Before you speak, people know who you belong to
It's how much it shows
I can see the love of God from the start
First thing I noticed he's got your heart
You have got something, a satisfying peace
He dwells within you, so many long to see
