SONGS OF SORROW, SONGS OF HOPE Verse 1 My purpose here in this old world is to help the ones I love to carry on. In times of sorry and times of pain I need to help those I love to stay strong. And if that means I have to pour my heart out in to a sad sad song. Let us sing together and pray together and thank the Lord for the strength to move on. Chorus: These are my songs of sorrow, my songs of hope. The songs that will keep me from giving up hope. If I can help someone to understand the Lords purpose that’s what I’m going to do. And we’ll keep singing together and praying together and thanking the Lord for the strength to get us through. Verse 2 If dying gave you the answers I’d die a thousand deaths just for you. And if poetry was the answer, I’d rhyme a million words to get us through. But tomorrows not for certain and yesterday has already passed. So let us thank the Lord for what we have today and the Lords’ will to make it all last. Chorus: These are my songs of sorrow, my songs of hope. The songs that will keep me from giving up hope. If I can help someone to understand the Lords purpose that’s what I’m going to do. And we’ll keep singing together and praying together and thanking the Lord for the strength to get us through. And we’ll keep singing together and praying together and thanking the Lord for the strength to get us through.

GOD'S HELPING HANDS Verse 1: Back in nineteen and fifty-five, two young souls would start their new lives, and raise a loving family of five. And there’d be hard times that could take its toll, on any lesser family that you may know, but with God’s helping hands they’d weather all storms. Chorus: One beautiful lady, and one handsome man, united in marriage when she took his hand. A life made together, fed from the fruits of the land. A love that’s created through God’s helping hands. Verse 2: Fifty years has flown by fast, watching our children start their new lives, and being blessed with children of their own. And when one of us makes it to the other side, and see heavens glory for the very first time, smile down on me when greeted by God’s helping hands. Chorus: One beautiful lady, and one handsome man, united in marriage when she took his hand. A life made together, fed from the fruits of the land. A love that’s created through God’s helping hands. One beautiful lady, and one handsome man, and a love like no other, made by God’s helping hands. A love like no other, made by God’s loving hands. Back in nineteen and fifty-five….

REST IN PEACE, FOREVER SLEEP Verse 1 Rest your eyes and rest your feet, as you lie in eternal sleep. And when you wake, to Jesus face, you’ll be amazed by his own grace. Lie there in rest, a peaceful calm, never to see another dawn. Just trust in God, and you’ll be fine. For His great love will ever shine. Chorus Rest in peace, forever sleep. By God’s side, the goal we reap. But there’ll be those who surely weep. But one day soon, again we’ll meet. Rest in peace. Verse 2 You on this Earth no longer trod. But rather walk on greener sod. Amongst the Angels’ heavnly choir, along God’s side, what we desire. Once at the gate to let you in, ask at His feet, “forgive my sins”. Trust in the Lord, have faith in Him. And He will surely let you in. Chorus Rest in peace, forever sleep. By God’s side, the goal we reap. But there’ll be those who surely weep. But one day soon, again we’ll meet. Rest in peace. Rest in peace, forever sleep. Have no doubt again we’ll meet. And there’ll be those who surely weep. Trust in the Lord, again we’ll meet. Rest in peace, (Rest in peace), For-ever sleep, (Forever sleep), Again some-day, (Again someday), We all will meet, (We all will meet). Rest in peace.

WALTZING THROUGH LIFE Verse 1: You waltzed into my life, a long time ago. And asked for my hand, how was I to ever know. That the love that we shared, would stand the test of time. Waltzing through life, you’d forever be mine. Verse 2: We built a home together, and raised three loving kids. Watched them grow to be successful, and have kids of their own. We will always thank our God, for the many gifts that he has gave. Forever grateful we will be, for all the joys in our lives. Chorus: Waltzing through life with you by my side. Both good times and hard times you carried me through. For fifty-some years, you held me so tight. While waltzing through life with you. Verse 3: I know our time together on this earth may be short. As each year goes by our days become few. I will always remember, when I think of you. You’ll be waltzing through my memories. Chorus: Waltzing through life with you by my side. Both good times and hard times you carried me through. For fifty-some years, you held me so tight. While waltzing through life with you. Waltzing through life in my memories. Both good times and hard times you carried me through. For fifty-some years, you held me so tight. While waltzing through life with you. For fifty-some years, you held me so tight. While waltzing through life with you. While waltzing through life by my side.

Verse 3 Who will walk with me toward Heaven? Guided by the Lord each step the way. To pick me up in times when I may stumble. Keeping me on that straight and narrow path. Chorus I hope that He will be at the gate waiting. Standing with His arms opened wide. There will be no moments of hesitating. I’ve prepared myself to stand by His side. For I’ve prepared myself to stand by His side. Who will walk with me toward Heaven? And make the journey toward our eternal home. Please walk with me.
