“Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”
Joachim Neander, translated by Catherine Winkworth, arr. Mark Knox
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration.
(Praise to the Lord, the Almighty for things that He has done)
Praise to the Lord, Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
If with His love He befriend thee.
(Praise to the Lord, the Almighty for things He has done)
Praise to the Lord, oh let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath come now with praises before Him.
Let the Amen sound from His people again,
Gladly for aye we adore Him. Amen.
“How Great Thou Art”
Stuart K. Hine, Manna Music, Inc., ASCAP, arr. Mark Knox
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
(Chorus)
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!
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And there proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
(Chorus)
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

“Holy, Holy, Holy”
Reginald Heber, John B. Dykes, arr. Mark Knox
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, Holy, Holy
“He Hideth My Soul”
Frances J. Crosby, arr. Mark Knox
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
(Chorus)
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away,
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength for each day.
(Chorus)
When clothed with His brightness transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.
(Chorus)
“It Is Well With My Soul”
Horatio Spafford, Philip Bliss, arr. Mark Knox
When peace, like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul”
Chorus
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
(Chorus)
My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(Chorus)
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel, Oh voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
(Chorus)
And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(Chorus)
“Were You There?”
H. T. Burleigh, Alfred Pub Co. OBO Belwin Music Publishing Corp.
arr. Mark Knox
Were you there when they crucified my Lord? (2 times)
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? (2 times)
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when He rose up from the grave? (2 times)
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when He rose up from the grave?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
“Ride On, King Jesus”
Hall Johnson, Shirmer, Inc., arr. Mark Knox
Additional words by Jesse Padgett
(Chorus)
Ride on, King Jesus, no man can a-hinder me
Ride on, King Jesus ride on, no man can a-hinder me.
King Jesus is the Prince of Peace, No man can a-hinder me
I’ll sing His praises without cease, No man can a-hinder me.
He calmed a stormy sea, King Jesus raised the dead,
He fed the multitudes with just five loaves of bread.
(Repeats)
(Chorus)
King Jesus is the Lord of Lords, No man can a-hinder me
With Him I’ll share in heavn’s rewards, No man can a-hinder me.
Ride on, Ride on, Ride on,
(Chorus)
He made the lame to walk, He made the blind to see
He conquered death by man and rose up on day three.
(Repeats)
(Chorus Repeats 3 times)
“Precious Lord, Take My Hand”
Thomas A. Dorsey, Warner-Tamerlane Pub Corp, arr. Mark Knox
Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn,
Thru the storm, thru the night, lead me on to the light
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near
When my life is almost gone,
Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
When the darkness appears and the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone,
At the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
“Reinvented”
Words and Music by Jesse Padgett, arr. Mark Knox
©2007 Jesse Padgett
All my life, I've searched for just one meaning
Making choices that I always hoped were right
Then I found myself confused, after facing life alone
I saw in you the purpose I had fought with all my might.
Through your words I gained the self-assurance
To believe that I had something more to give.
Even though the fears of doubt made me question who I am
You helped me see within myself I had much more life to live
(Chorus)
Through you I am reinvented
I'm not the man I used to be
I've been changed, my life I've rearranged
My soul has been set free.
Every day becomes another challenge
There are voices that share a point of view
Condemning those who make their world
The best that it can be
That's when I call upon your name
And I draw my strength from you
(Chorus)
Through your words I gain the self-assurance
To believe that I have something more to give
Even though the fears of doubt make me question who I am
You help me see within myself I have much more life to live
(Chorus)
I am reinvented through you.
