"Jonah Was A Prophet"

When I was a boy I went to church back home in Arizona
And that is where I heard the tale of a man whose name was Jonah
now Jonah was a prophet, but that's not why he's remembered
They tell the tale, Cause in a whale he nearly was dismembered!

CHORUS
Jonah was a prophet
oo-ooh!
but he really never got it
sad but true!
and if you watch it you can spot it
a-doodley-doo!
he did not get the point!

Compassion and mercy from me to you and you to me
exactly what god wants to see and yes that is the point!

CHORUS

Now Jonah Set Sail On A Pirate ship
In a dreadful gale
Got eaten up by a giant whale
But then its not to be said
You think he would learn alot
From being saved from an awful spot
But the second chance that he had got
He didn't want to be spread
now poor old Jonah
and now he's all alone-ah
gotta use a megaphone-ah
to get it through to his head-HEY!

CHORUS

now during your life you prob'ly don't ride on a camel
and you prob'ly won't wake up inside a large aquatic mammal
but all the same like Jonah there is something you can do
everyone deserves to get a second chance from you!

Compassion and mercy from me to you and you to me
Exactly what god wants to see and yes that is the point!

"Somewhere In The World"

Somewhere in the world today
A little girl will go out to play
All dressed up in mama's clothes
At least the way that I suppose it goes
Somewhere in the world tonight
Before she reaches to turn out the light
She'll be prayin' from a tender heart
A simple prayer that's a work of art

Chorus
And I don't even know her name
But I'm prayin' for her just the same
That the Lord will write His name upon her heart
'Cause somewhere in the course of this life
A little boy will need a godly wife
So hold on to Jesus, baby, wherever you are

Somewhere in the world out there
That little girl's learnin' how to care
She's pickin' up her mamas charms
Or maybe, swingin' 'round in her daddy's arms
Somewhere in the world to be
Though the future's not real clear to me
Their's could be a tender love
Grounded in eternal love above

Repeat Chorus

O Captain! My Captain!

By: Walt Whitman

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done; The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won; The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:

But O heart! heart! heart!

O the bleeding drops of red,

Where on the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills; For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding; For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!

This arm beneath your head;

It is some dream that on the deck,

You've fallen cold and dead.

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still; My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;

Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!

But I, with mournful tread,

Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead.

"Song For Ireland"

Author: Phil and June Colclough

Walking all the day near tall towers where falcons build their nests
Silver-winged they fly they know the call of freedom in their breasts
Saw Black Head against the sky where twisted rocks they run to the sea

Chorus:
Living on your western shore
Saw summer sunsets, asked for more
I stood by your Atlantic Sea
And sang a song for Ireland

Drinking all the day in old pubs where fiddlers love to play
Saw one touch the bow he played a reel which seemed so grand and gay
Stood on Dingle Beach and cast in wild foam we found Atlantic bass

Chorus

Talking all the day wth true friends who try to make you stay
Telling jokes and news singing songs to pass the time away
Watched the Galway salmon run like silver dancing, darting in the sun

Chorus

Dreaming in the night I saw a land where no one had to fight
Waking in your dawn I saw you crying in the morning light
Sleeping where the falcons fly they twist and turn all in your air-blue sky

Chorus

"WHat Did He Die For?"

"What Did He Die For?"

Twila Paris

He was twenty-one in 1944
He was hope and he was courage on a lonely shore
Sent there by a mother with love beyond her tears
Just a young American who chose to rise above his fears
And as I watch him struggle up that hill
Without a thought of turning back
I cannot help but wonder 

What did he die for?
When he died for you and me
Made the sacrifice
So that we could all be free
I believe we will answer each to heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty
Look inside and ask the question

What did he die for?
When he died for me 

To the darkest day in A.D. 33
Came the mercy and compassion of eternity
Sent there by a Father with love beyond His tears
Blameless One, the only Son
to bear the guilt of all these years
And as I watch Him struggle up that hill
Without a thought of turning back
I cannot help but wonder

What did He die for? 

When He died for you and me
Made the sacrifice
So that we could all be free
I believe we will answer each to heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty
Look inside and ask the question

What did he die for?
He died for freedom
He died for love
And all the things we do not pay Him back
Could never be enough
What did He die for?
When He died for you and me
Made the sacrifice

So that we could all be free
I believe we will answer each to heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty
Look inside and ask the question
What did he die for?
When He died for me

"Great Is Thy Faithfullness"

"Great Is Thy Faithfullness"
Words: Thom­as O. Chis­holm
Music: William M. Run­yan

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Refrain

Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Refrain

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
