Jesus Is A River Of Love
By Dallas Holm
Chorus:
Well, my Jesus is a river of love
And He flows from Heaven above
He'll take every sin you have
And He'll wash it away
You just jump in the water today
You won't drown if you learn to pray
Well, my Jesus is a river of love
And He's flowing your way
There's a river flowing
Out from Heaven's sea
There's a river reachin'
Out for you and me
Streams of living water
Clear as they can be
So come on in, the water's fine
And it will set you free
If you need a cleansing
Children don't delay
There's a mighty river
Flowin' here today
It can wash and make you
Clean as you can be
So come on in the water's fine
And it will set you free

That’s Why I Pray
Man on the TV’s gone insane, everybody’s just laughing…
People ’cross the world holding on
The earth caved in, the ocean came down crashing
My neighbor lost his house ’cause he can’t find a job.
Don’t you dare pledge allegiance, don’t you dare speak of God “Speak of God”
Chorus:
Now I’m begging for forgiveness
I wanna make a difference even in the smallest way
I’m only one person, but I can feel it working
I believe in better days
That’s why I pray
Some stupid video posted as a joke, somebody’s life gets ruined
Out of everything we can create
Where is the cure to keep the sick from losing
Babies having babies ’cause their parents are always gone
The Healing Hands of God
I have seen the many faces, Of fear and of pain.
I have watched the tears fall plenty, from heart ache and strength.
So if life's journey, Has you weary and afraid.
There's rest in the shadow of his wings.
I have walked through the valleys, the mountains and plains.
I have held the hand of freedom that washes all my stains.
If you feel the weight of many trials, and burdens from this world.
There's freedom in the shelter of the Lord.
Chorus:
I have seen, the healing hand of God,
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of His peace,
And hold on to what's being held out.
The healing hand of God.
I have touched the scars upon His hands, to see if they were real.
He has walked the road before me, He knows just how I feel.
When you feel there is not anyone, who understands your pain,
Just remember all of Jesus' suffering.
Chorus
Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.
He's near to the broken and confused.
By His stripes, our spirit is renewed.
So enter in the joy prepared for you.
Chorus
The healing hand of God (x2)
And hold on to what's being held out (x2)
The healing hand of God / Prayer Warriors
By Dallas Holm
Most will never see their faces
Never know their names
What they do they do alone,
They dont need no fame.
On their knees they touch the Lord,
Knowing He will care
And change the things that man can't change
With a simple prayer.
Chorus:
They are) prayer warriors fighting on their knees
True soldiers in the Lord's army.
Front liners ready every hour
Doing battle constantly with supernatural power.
In the solitude of prayer
Victories are won,
With the help of Heaven's power
They will overcome.
As one chorus fighting now
Warriors press on,
Bringing strongholds to the ground
With a prayerful song.
Repeat Chorus Twice
That’s Why I Pray Con’t
Somehow we have forgotten how to make a house a home
How to make a house a home
Oh! Oh! Yeah! Yeah!
I’m begging for forgiveness,
I wanna make a difference even in the smallest way
I’m only one person, but I can feel it working
I believe in better days
That’s why I pray, yeah
That’s why I pray, yeah
These demons from my past haunt me every night
And I just can’t get through it
If I could forget them on my own, I’ll let go and just move on
But heaven knows I am only human
Repeat Chorus
Wolves
January's always bitter
But Lord this one beats all
The wind ain't quit for weeks now
And the drifts are ten feet tall
I been all night drivin' heifers
Closer in to lower ground
Then I spent the mornin' thinkin'
'Bout the ones the wolves pulled down
Charlie Barton and his family
Stopped today to say goodbye
He said the bank was takin' over
The last few years were just too dry
And I promised that I'd visit
When they found a place in town
Then I spent a long time thinkin'
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down
Lord please shine a light of hope
On those of us who fall behind
And when we stumble in the snow
Could you help us up while there's still time
Well I don't mean to be complainin' Lord
You've always seen me through
And I know you got your reasons
For each and every thing you do
But tonight outside my window
There's a lonesome mournful sound
And I just can't keep from thinkin'
'Bout the ones the wolves pull down
Lord Jesus keep me from bein'
The one the wolves pull down
I'll Fly Away
Some glad morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah, by and by I’ll Fly Away / When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end, I'll fly away
