The Country Porch

 I DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN

        THAT ROAD AGAIN

 Chorus:
I don’t want to go
down that road again.
Where the nights
are long and lonely
And the walls keep closing in.
I called on His Name
to see me through
To be made whole
and totally brand new
So I won’t want to go back
down that road again.

Verse:
I don’t want to remember
those dark years
Before I found Jesus
through my tears.
He reminds me every day ..
By His Blood He
washed all my sins away
Now I won’t go back down
that long, dark road again.

Chorus:
I don’t want to go
down that road again.
Where the nights
are long and lonely
And the walls keep closing in.
I called on His Name
to see me through
To be made whole
and totally brand new
So I won’t want to go back
down that road again.

I called on His Name
to see me through.
To be made whole
and totally brand new.
Now I won’t go back down
that long dark road again.

JESUS IS EVERYTHING

Verse:
Look into your heart
And tell me what you’d do.
Look into His Word
Cause all His Words are true.
He’s our Redeemer
Savior and Friend.

Verse:
Look into my eyes
And tell me what you see.
He is everything,
That makes me want to be
With Him in Heaven
For Eternity.

Chorus:
Why don’t you take a look around you
At all the beauty that surrounds you
Then take a look into the mirror
Are you liken’ what you see…
Your light shines brighter
Than the brightest star
He made no mistakes,
He loves you as you are
He’s our Creator
Maker of everything.

Verse:
Have you ever watched a small child
As he bows his head
And begins to say his prayers
Kneeling beside his bed
This is one of the reasons
God sent His only Son…

Verse:
Look again into your heart
Is He abiding there
Have you invited Him to come
Into your life and share
The Good News of your Salvation
It’s there for everyone.

Chorus:

Golden teardrops

Falling on this heart of mine

It’s been shattered

But it’s stood the test of time.

Since you left me

There is nothing more to do

But let those golden teardrops fall

For me and you.

Verse:

I know you’re up there with the Lord,

And you was ready to go, I know.

But how do I live my life, without you now.

I have cried and I have laughed,

Hoping those memories could bring you back,

But those are just wishful dreams

That need to stop somehow.

Chorus:

Golden teardrops

Falling on this heart of mine

It’s been shattered

But it’s stood the test of time.

Since you left me

There is nothing more to do

But let those golden teardrops fall

For me and you.

When your heart is shattered

Lying in pieces on the floor

It really doesn’t matter if anyone else knows ..

Jesus knows.

When you’re face down at the alter

Hurting deep down to your core

There’s One who knows that kind of sorrow ..

Jesus knows.

Jesus knows when your are weary

Jesus knows the load you bear

He wants to be the One you lean on

When life seems unjust, unfair.

He’ll give you hope for a bright tomorrow

And see you through those highs and lows

If you’ll just put your trust in Jesus

Cause Jesus knows.

Jesus knows when your are weary

Jesus knows the load you bear

He wants to be the One you lean on

When life seems unjust, unfair.

He’ll give you hope for a bright tomorrow

And see you through those highs and lows

If you’ll just put your trust in Jesus

Cause Jesus knows.

If you’ll just put your faith and trust in Jesus,

Cause Jesus knows!

Verse:

When it’s time for me to go
Take my hand so I will know
You are there Lord,
Right by my side.

If You’ll whisper in my ear
All the things I long to hear
I’ll have Peace Lord,
Knowing You heard my heart cry.

Chorus:

Take me home, take me home
To Your glorious throne
Lead me there, leave me there
Forever more.

Verse:

When I see Your Holy face
I’ll know I got there by Your Grace
Thank you Jesus
At last I’ve come Home.

When I see Your Holy face
I’ll know I got there by Your Grace
Thank you Jesus
I’m Home … at last I’ve come Home.

Oh let's walk down
Those streets of gold all together
Hand in Hand
Just the way that He planned.
Straight to His throne
Where we will worship Him forever.
Alleluia, let's all praise His Holy Name.

Hear the trumpets sound
Hear the Angels sing,
In sweet harmony
they lift their voices to our King.
He's the Lamb of God,
He's the Lord of Lords,
Alleluia, let's praise Jesus Christ our King.

So let's walk down
Those streets of gold all together
Hand in Hand
Just the way that He planned.
Straight to His throne
Where we will worship Him forever.
Alleluia, let's all praise His Holy Name.

Oh let's walk down
Those streets of gold all together
Hand in Hand
Just the way that He planned.
Straight to His throne
Where we will worship Him forever.
Alleluia, let's all praise His Holy Name.


Alleluia
Let's all praise His Holy Name.

Chorus:

There is a mountain

Not far away that I can see

And on that mountain

Lies the answers for you and me.

We need to be there

When He appears from high above

Cause on that mountain

There is a fountain

Overflowing with God’s Pure Love.

Verse:

Some believe .. some are afraid

They just don’t get the sacrifice He made.

But you and I … we understand

If you’ll just reach out

He’ll take your hand.

Chorus:

Verse:

If you get lost … can’t find your way

Afraid to face Jesus on Judgement Day

Call out His Name … He’s always there

Carrying the burdens that you can’t bare.

Chorus:

Yes on that mountain

There is a fountain

Overflowing with God’s Pure Love.

You took him home gently

Released from all pain

Guiding him along that narrow path

That leads to Your throne.

He told us he'd be in Heaven

With Jesus real soon.

He was not alone .... we all were there

When You took him gently home.

Verse:

There's a time to be born and a time to die

Letting go is the hardest thing that we will ever do.

We know he's hurting no more

He's with Jesus on that Golden Shore

And he is not alone .... they all were waiting there

The night you took him gently home.

Chorus: 

You took him home gently

Released from all pain

Guiding him along that narrow path

That leads to Your throne.

He told us he'd be in Heaven

With Jesus real soon.

He was not alone .... we all were there

When You gently took him home.

Chorus:

You took him home gently

Released from all pain

Guiding him along that narrow path

That leads to Your throne.

He told us he'd be in Heaven

With Jesus real soon.

He was not alone .... we all were there

When You took him gently home.

No, he was not alone

We all were there

The night You took him gently home.
