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

In Gospel Music, Headline

Be blessed with one of the best renditions of the classic gospel song “Sinner Saved By Grace.” Performed by The Cathedrals, it is such a very touching song that really bring tears in our eyes. Praise for the gift of music.

The Cathedrals began in 1963 as a trio consisting of former California based Weatherford Quartet lead singer Glen Payne, tenor Bobby Clark, and baritone Danny Koker. The group became a quartet by adding Blue Ridge Quartet bass singer George Younce in 1964, which caused the newly formed quartet became even more popular. Later joined by Danny Funderburk, and then Kirk Young who was replaced by Ernie Haase. They became one of the most popular southern gospel groups and their persistence was rewarded when they won their first Grammy in 1977 for Best Gospel Performance. They repeated the feat in 1978, 1979 and 1982, as well as drawing a clutch of Dove Awards from the Gospel Music Association. They also performed regularly at Bill Gaither’s Praise Gathering For Believers shows.

Sinner Saved by Grace Lyrics

Song by Gaither Vocal Band

If you could see
What I once was
If you could go with me
Back to where I started from
Then, I know you would see
A miracle of Love that put me
In it’s sweet embrace
And made me what I am today
Just an old sinner
Saved by grace

I’m just a sinner
Saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
Loved and forgiven
Backed with a living
I’m just a sinner
Saved by grace

How could I boast on anything
I’ve ever seen or done
How could I dare to claim as mine
The victories God has won
Where would I be
Had God not brought me
Gently to this place
I’m here to say I’m nothing but
A sinner saved by grace

I’m just a sinner
Saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I grow and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
I’m loved and forgiven
Backed with a living
I’m just a sinner
Saved by grace

Now I grow and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
I’m loved and forgiven
Backed with a living
I’m just a sinner
Saved by grace
Saved by grace

This beautiful song was written by Dottie Rambo. According to a St. Augustine newspaper article about the song, Dottie had just gone through a difficult time with a friend who had disappointed her. She decided to walk along the beach to clear her mind. “All of a sudden I thought, ‘Lord, this storm is so much like my life, and yet, in the midst of the storms of life, you have been a shelter to me. When I can’t take the storm, I run to you for that shelter and, suddenly, I feel secure.’” While pondering these thoughts she began to write Sheltered in the Arms of God.

WATCH The Gatlin Brothers, Duane Allen, Ben Speer awesome rendition of this song by Dottie Rambo gospel song “Sheltered In The Arms Of God.” Be blessed!

Sheltered in the Arms of God Lyrics

Song by Dottie Rambo

For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender
They’re leading me in paths that I must trod
I’ll have no fear ’cause Jesus walks beside me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They won’t worry me
For I’m sheltered safe within the arms of God
He walks with me
And naught of earth shall harm me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God

Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven’s portals
“Come home, My child, it’s the last mile you have trod.”
I’ll just fall asleep and wake up in God’s new heaven
Forever sheltered in the arms of God

So let the storms rage high
The dark clouds rise
They won’t worry me
For I’m sheltered safe within the arms of God

He walks with me
And naught of earth shall harm me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God
So let the cold winds blow
It’s so good to know
That I’m sheltered in the arms of God
Darling we have both been sheltered in the arms of God
The arms of God

We Shall See Jesus Lyrics

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Hoping to see Him as thousands were fed
He touched the blind eyes, healed broken spirits
He moved with compassion, and even raised up the dead

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
Watching as Jesus was crucified
No one showed mercy to one who had healed them
Yet Jesus loved them as He suffered and died

Once on a hillside, people were gathered
For Jesus had risen and soon would ascend
But then as He blessed them, He rose to the Heavens
And He gave them this promise: He’d come back again

We shall see Jesus just as they saw Him
There is no greater promise than this
When He returns in power and glory
We shall see Jesus
We shall see Jesus
We shall see Jesus just as He is
