Lyrics


1. His Hand In Mine
(Mosie Lister)

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You may ask me how I know my Lord is real (my Lord is real)
You may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel (the way I feel)
But I know He's real today He'll always be (He'll always be)
I can feel His hand in mine and that's enough for me

I will never walk alone He holds my hand (He holds my hand)
He will guide each step I take
And if I fall I know He'll understand
Till the day He tells me why He loves me so (He loves me so)
(I can feel His hand in mine
That's all I need to know)

I can feel His hand in mine
That's all I need to know



2. I'm Gonna Walk Dem Golden Stairs
(Cully Holt)

I'm gonna walk, walk dem golden stairs
'Cause I know my Jesus answers all my prayers
Well, well I know when He calls me to my home on high
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die, when I die

Oh lord you know I can hardly wait
To reach that sweet by and by by and by
But now I see those per, per, pearly gates
I'm gonna walk dem golden stairs when I die, when I die
Well, well, well

When Jesus says to me "Well done"
And all my cares are laid by, by and by
I'll lay down my soul, my battles are won
I'll walk dem golden stairs when I die when I die

Well, well, well



3. In My Father's House
(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)

In my father's house are many mansions
If it were not true he would have told me so
He has gone away to live in that bright city
He's preparing me a mansion there I know

Jesus died upon the cross to bear my sorrow
Freely died that souls like you might have new life
But I know that soon there'll come a bright tomorrow
When the world will all be free from sin and strife

(Do not shun the saviors love, from up in glory)

(Or you won't be there to sing the gospel story)
In my father's house are many mansions
If you're true then to this land you'll surely go



4. Milky White Way
(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)

Yes I'm gonna walk on that milky white way
Oh Lord some of these days
Well I'm gonna walk that milky white way
Some of these days well well well well
I'm gonna walk up and take my stand
Gonna join that Christian band
I'm gonna walk on that milky white way
Oh Lord, some of these days

I'm gonna tell my mother howdy, howdy,
Howdy when I get home
Yes, I'm gonna tell my mother howdy,
When I get home well well well well
I'm gonna shake my mother's hand
I will shake her hands that day
That's when we walk on that milky white way
On some of these days

I'm gonna meet God the Father and God the Son
Yes, I'm gonna meet God the Father and God the Son
Well well well well
I'm gonna sit down and tell Him my troubles
About the world that I just came from
That's when we walk on the milky white way
Oh Lord, on some of these days



5. Known Only To Him
(Stuart Hamblen)

Known only to Him are the great hidden secrets
I'll fear not the darkness when my flame shall dim
I know not what the future holds
But I know who holds the future
It's a secret known only to Him

In this world of fear and doubt
On my knees I ask the question
Why a lonely, heavy cross I must bear
Then He tells me in my prayer
It's because I am trustworthy
He gives me strength far more than my share



6. I Believe In The Man In The Sky
(Richard Howard)

(The steps that lead to any church
Form a stairway to a star
They're part of God and should be trod
More often than they are)

I believe in the man in the sky
I believe with His help I'll get by
My footsteps may falter
My eyes may grow dim
But He's my Gibralter
I'm trusting in Him

Though a sparrow is all I may be
On me He will still keep an eye
Yes I'm singing His praise
Till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky

(Though a) sparrow (is all I may be) sparrow am I
(On me He will still keep an eye) Keep an eye
Yes I'm singing His praise
Till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky



7. Joshua Fit The Battle
(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)

Joshua fit the battle 'round Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle 'round Jericho
And the walls come tumblin' down

God knows it

Good mornin' sister Mary
Good mornin' brother John
Well I wanna stop and talk with you
And tell you how I come along

I know you've heard about Joshua
He was the son of Nun
He never stopped his work until
Until the work was done

God knows it

You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your men of Saul
There's none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

Up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand
Go blow them ram horns, Joshua cried
'Cause the battle is in my hands

God knows it

You may talk about your men of Gideon
You may brag about your king of Saul
There's none like Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

They tell me, great God that Joshua's spear
Was well nigh twelve feet long
And upon his hip was a double edged sword
And his mouth was a gospel horn

Yet bold and brave he stood
Salvation in his hand
"Go blow them ram horns" Joshua cried
"'Cause the devil can't do you no harm"

God knows it

Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blow
The trumpets began to sound
Old Joshua shouted "Glory"
And the walls come tumblin' down

God knows it

(Down, down, down, down) down
Tumblin' down



8. He Knows Just What I Need
(Mosie Lister)

My Jesus knows when I am lonely
He knows each pain, He sees each tear
He understands each lonely heartache
He understands because He cares

My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes! He knows just what I need
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just what I need

My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes! He knows just what I need
Yes, He knows just what I need



9. Swing Down Sweet Chariot
(Arranged and adapted by Elvis Presley)

Why don't you swing down sweet chariot
Stop and let me ride
Swing down chariot
Stop and let me ride
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
Well I got a home on the other side

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well

Ezekiel went down in the middle of a field
He saw an angel workin' on a chariot wheel
Wasn't so particular 'bout the chariot wheel
Just wanted to see how a chariot feel

Well, well, well Ezekiel went down and got on board
Chariot went a bumpin' on down the road
Zeke wasn't so particular 'bout the bumpin' on the road
Just wanted to lay down his heavy load

Well I got a Father in the Promised Land
Ain't gonna stop until I shake His hand
Rock me lord, rock me lord
Calm and easy
I got a home on the other side



10. Mansion Over The Hilltop
(Ira Stamphill)

I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of a city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown



11. If We Never Meet Again
(Albert E. Brumley)

Soon we'll come to the end of life's journey
And perhaps never meet anymore
Till we gather in heaven's bright city
Far away on that beautiful shore

If we never meet again this side of heaven
As we struggle through this world and its strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in heaven
By the side of the river of life

Where the charming roses bloom forever
And where separations come no more
If we never meet again this side of heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore



12. Working On The Building
(Hoyle / Boulas)

Well I'm a-working on the building
It's a true foundation
I'm a-holdin' up the blood-stained
Banner for my lord
Well I never get tired, tired, tired of working on the building
I'm going up to heaven oh oh yeh to get my reward, my reward

Well I'm a-working on the building
It's a true foundation
I'm a-holdin' up the blood-stained
Banner for my lord
Well I never get tired, tired, tired of working on the building
I'm a-goin' up to heaven oh oh yeh, to get my reward, my reward



13. It is no secret
(Stuart Hamblin)

The chimes of time ring out the news,
Another day is through.
Someone slipped and fell.
Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength,
Your courage to renew.
Do not be disheartened,
For I have news for you.

It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

There is no night for in His light
You never walk alone.
Always feel at home,
Wherever you may roam.

There is no power can conquer you
While God is on your side.
Take Him at His promise,
Don't run away and hide.



14. You'll never walk alone
(Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II)
(Music by Richard Rogers)

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.



15. Who Am I?
(R. Goodman)

When I think of how He came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?

Who am I that a King would bleed and die for?
Who am I that He would pray "not my will, thine Lord"
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
Ah to that old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?

When I'm reminded of His words
"I'll leave you never
If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever"
Oh I wonder what I could have done
To deserve God's only Son
To fight my battles until they're won
For who am I?

Ah to an old rugged cross He'd go for, who am I?
