    Walking in Jerusalem (Just Like John)

    Oh, John, oh John, oh what did you say
    Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
    I'll meet you there on the crowning day
    Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready, Lord
    To walk into Jerusalem, just like John

    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready, Lord
    To walk into Jerusalem, just like John

    Oh, some comes cripple and some comes lame
    Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
    Some comes walking in Jesus' name
    Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready, Lord
    To walk into Jerusalem, just like John

    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready, Lord
    To walk into Jerusalem, just like John

    Old Judas rested upon his shoulder
    Walking in Jerusalem, just like John
    I'll meet you there at the first crossover
    Walking in Jerusalem, just like John

    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready, Lord
    To walk into Jerusalem, just like John

    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready
    I want to be ready, Lord
    To walk into Jerusalem, just like John

    Preaching', Prayin', Singin'

    I was a stranger there intent upon my way
    But when I saw the crowd, I had the urge to stay
    I heard a welcome voice biddin' me to come and share
    Their preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square
     
    Preachin', prayin', singin' everywhere
    Shouting the praises of His loving care
    All of God's children seem to gather there
    Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square
     
    I felt so much at home amid the happy throng
    That came from far and near to praise His name in song
    To lay their burdens down, forget their every care
    And have an old time meeting down on the public square
     
    Preachin', prayin', singin' everywhere
    Shouting the praises of His loving care
    All of God's children seem to gather there
    Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square
     
    Now as I journey on, think back on the day
    I am convinced within, these folks have found the way
    To put their hearts in song, just pray an earnest prayer
    And leave the door bells ringin' down on the public square
     
    Preachin', prayin', singin' everywhere
    Shouting the praises of His loving care
    All of God's children seem to gather there
    Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square
    Preachin', prayin', singin' down on the public square

    I've Found a Hiding Place

    High on that lonesome road to heaven's blessed abode
    For many years I was burdened with care
    So often lightening flashed and raging billows dashed
    My sorrow then was so heavy to bear

    But since my Jesus came I praise his holy name
    He sheds the light of his wonderful grace
    And every night and day to him I steal away
    I found a blessed hiding place

    I found a hiding place a blessed hiding place
    I said a hiding a blessed hiding place
    There's glory in my soul my hallelujah rolls
    But since my Jesus came I'm under his control

    He keeps me night and day He answers when I pray
    And from the raging storm to Him I steal away
    I hear those temptors knock I feel no temply shock
    Oh in the solid rock I found a hiding place

    Just like a wandering Jew that had no place to choose
    Each day I had to keep travelin' on
    But now I've found the way that leads to endless days
    No more in darkness I wander alone

    When Satan would alarm I climb in God's strong arm
    And hide away in his loving embrace
    For in the solid rock the blessed solid rock
    I found a blessed hiding place

    I'm Working On a Building

    I'm a working on building
    I'm a working on building
    I'm a working on building
    For my lord for my lord
       
    It's a holy ghost building
    It's a holy ghost building
    It's a holy ghost building
    For my lord for my lord

    If I was a liar I tell you what I would do
    I'd quit my lying and work on a building too

    If I was a drunkard I tell you what I would do
    I'd quit my drinking and work on a building too

    If I was a gambler I tell you what I would do
    I'd quit my gambling and work on a building too

    If I was a preacher I tell you what I would do
    I would keep on preaching and work on a building too

    The 91st Psalm (Recitation)

    He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

    I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

    Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

    He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

    Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

    Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

    A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

    Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

    Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

    There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

    For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

    They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

    Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

    Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

    He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

    With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

    Keep on the Sunny Side

    Well there's a dark and a troubled side of life
    There's a bright and a sunny side too
    But if you meet with the darkness and strife
    The sunny side we also may view
    Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
    Keep on the sunny side of life
    It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
    If we keep on the sunny side of life
    Oh, the storm and its fury broke today
    Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
    Clouds and storms will in time pass away
    The sun again will shine bright and clear
    Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
    Keep on the sunny side of life
    It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
    If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
    Let us greet with a song of hope each day
    Though the moments be cloudy or fair
    Let us trust in our Savior always
    To keep us, every one, in His care
    Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
    Keep on the sunny side of life
    It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
    If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
    If we'll keep on the sunny side of life​

    Softly and Tenderly

    Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
    Calling for you and for me.
    See, on the portals, He's waiting and watching;
    Watching for you and for me.

    Come home, come home,
    Ye who are weary come home;
    Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;
    Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

    O for the wonderful love He has promised,
    Promised for you and for me.
    Though we have sinned He has mercy and pardon;
    Pardon for you and for me.

    Come home, come home,
    Ye who are weary come home;
    Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;
    Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

    Come home, come home,
    Ye who are weary come home;
    Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling;
    Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

    The Old Account

    There was a time on Earth when in the books of Heaven
    That an Old Account was standin' for sins yet unforgiven
    My name was at the top there was many things below
    But I went unto the keeper and I settled it long ago

    Long ago, yes long ago I said the Old Account was settled long ago
    And my record's clear today 'cause he washed my sins away
    And the Old Account was settled long ago

    Well the Old Account was large and growin' everyday
    I was always sinnin' and I never tried to pray
    But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
    Well I thought I'd better get it settled, so I settled it long ago

    Long ago, long ago Yes the Old Account was settled long ago
    And my record's clear today 'cause he washed my sins away
    And The Old Account was settled long ago

    Now sinner seek the Lord, and repent of all your sins
    'Cause this He commanded if you should enter in
    And then if you should live a hundred years below
    Well you know you got it settled 'cause you settled it long ago

    Long ago, long ago Yes the Old Account was settled long ago
    And my record's clear today 'cause he washed my sins away
    And The Old Account was settled long ago

    How Great Thou Art

    O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
    Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
    I see the sun, I hear the rolling thunder,
    Thy power throughout the universe displayed

    When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
    And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
    Then I shall bow with humble adoration,
    And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

    Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
    How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
    Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
    How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

    The 23rd Psalm (Recitation)

    The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

    He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

    He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

    Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

    What Would You Give (In Exchange For Your Soul)

    Brother how far, from the saviour today
    Risking your soul, for the things that he gave
    Oh if today, God should call you away
    What would you give, in exchange for your soul

    What would you give, in exchange, what would you give, in exhange
    What would you give, in exhange for your soul
    Oh if today, God should call you away
    What would you give, in exchange for your soul

    Mercy is callin, ' you won't you give in
    Must the dear saviour, still tenderly plead
    This night your soul, it is precious indeed
    What would you give, in exchange for your soul

    What would you give, in exchange, what would you give, in exhange
    What would you give, in exhange for your soul
    Oh if today, God should call you away
    What would you give, in exchange for your, soul

    This Old Crossroads

    Oh my brother take this warning
    Don't let ol Satan take your hand
    You'll be lost in sin forever
    You'll never reach the promised land

    The old crossroads now is waiting
    Which one are you going to take
    One leads down to destruction
    The other to the pearly gate

    One road leads up to heaven
    The other goes down below
    Jesus our savior will protect you
    He'll guide you through the old crossroads

    Soon your life will be over
    You'll have to face the old crossroads
    Will you be ready then my brother
    To shun the one down below
