Sing Me To Heaven Lyrics

Sing me to heaven

When it comes my time to go

Gather round me, friends

And sing me home

I don′t need no sad faces

Just all my favourite song

Sing me to heaven when I’m gone

We′re all just ticking time bombs

Walking round on borrowed time

Tomorrow may or may not

Be yours or mine

So let me let the record show

That i have lived today

May the song my life has been

Not fade away

Sing me to heaven

When it comes my time to go

Gather round me, friends

And sing me home

Don’t need no sad faces

Just all my favourite song

Sing me to heaven when I’m gone

Sing me to heaven

When it comes my time to go

Gather round me, friends

And sing me home

I don′t need no sad faces

Just all my favourite song

Sing me to heaven when I′m gone

Sing me to heaven when I’m gone

I’d rather have Jesus Lyrics

1 I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands.
I’d rather be led by His nail pierced hand

Chorus:
Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin’s dread sway.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

2 I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame.
I’d rather be true to His holy name [Chorus]

3 He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs.
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead [Chorus]

When it comes to uplifting music that speaks to the soul, few events capture the essence quite like the Gaither Homecoming concerts. One such gem in their lineup is “Leaning On the Everlasting Arms,” featuring beloved artists Buddy Greene, Jeff & Sheri Easter, and Charlotte Ritchie. This event is more than just a concert; it’s a heartfelt celebration of faith, community, and the timeless messages found in gospel music.

When performed by seasoned artists like Buddy Greene—who not only sings but also plays his signature harmonica—the message resonates even more deeply. Greene’s heartfelt performance adds a unique touch that makes you feel like you’re right there with him, singing along in your living room. Now let’s talk about Jeff & Sheri Easter and Charlotte Ritchie. Each brings their own style and flair to this musical gathering, blending harmonies that are simply out of this world. Jeff & Sheri Easter have been beloved figures in gospel music for years. Their chemistry as a duo is palpable, and when they sing together, it’s as if they’re weaving a tapestry of sound that envelops listeners in warmth.

The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms Lyrics

What a fellowship, what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

What have I to dread? What have I to fear?
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

PEACE IN THE VALLEY Lyrics

Oh well, I’m tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning’s so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

[Chorus]
There will be peace in the valley for me, someday
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

[Verse 2]
Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I’ll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

[Chorus]
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Softly and Tenderly Lyrics

Merle Haggard

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 oh sinners come home

Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading
He’s pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercy
Mercy for you and for me
Thought of the wonderful love He has promised Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinn’d 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 oh sinners come home
