1.Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem
Oh beautiful star of bethlehem
Shinning far through shadows dimmed
Giving the life for those who long have gone on
Guiding the wise men on their way
Unto the place where jesus lay
Oh beautiful star of bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star the hope of light
Guiding the pilgrims through the night
Over the mountains 'till the break of dawn
Into the land of perfect day
It will give out a lovely ray
Oh beautiful star of bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star) of bethlehem
Star of bethlehem
Shine upon us until the glory dawn
Give us a lamp to light the way
Unto the land of perfect day
Oh beautiful star of bethlehem shine on
Oh beautiful star the hope, the grace
For the redeem of good and blessed
Yonder in glory when the crowd is one
Jesus is now the star divine
Brighter and brighter he will shine
Oh beautiful star of bethlehem shine on
(repeat chorus)
Oh beautiful star of bethlehem shine on

3.Grandpa(Tell Me bout The Good Old Days)
Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like this worlds gone crazy
Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy
(chorus)
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other, come what may
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away
Oh, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Grandpa, everything is changing fast
We call it progress, but i just don't know
And grandpa, let's wander back into the past
And paint me the picture of long ago
(repeat chorus)
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other come what may
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget
Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away
Oh, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Oh, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
4.Guardian Angels
A hundred year old photograph
Stares out from a frame
And if you look real close you'll see
Our eyes are just the same
I never met them face to face
But i still know them well
From the stories
My dear grandma would tell
Elijah was a farmer
He knew how to make things grow
Fannie vowed she'd follow him
Wherever he would go
As things turned out they never left
Their small kentucky farm
But he kept her fed
She kept him warm
(chorus)
They're my guardian angels
And i know they can see
Ev'ry step i take
They are watching over me
I might not know where i'm goin'
But i'm sure where i come from
They're my guardian angels
And i'm their special one
Sometimes when i'm tired
I feel elijah take my arm
He says, 'keep a-goin', hard work
Never did a body harm.'
And when i'm really troubled
And i don't know what to do
Fannie whispers, 'just do your best, we're awful proud of you!'
(chorus)
A hundred year old photograph
Stares out from a frame
And if you look real close you'll see
Our eyes are just the same
5.I Know Where I'm Going
I know where i'm goin'
Don't you want to come too?
I got my reservations
And i got one for you
The train's leavin' just after dark
There's always room for a lovin' heart
I know where i'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
I know my destination
It's a' waiting for you
I got no hesitation
That's where i want to be
And by the time that the sun comes up
I'll be drinkin' from a lovin' cup
I know where i'm goin'
Don't you want to come too?
(chorus)
Don't you wanna come?
Don't you wanna ride?
Don't you wanna be there by my side?
Hand in hand
Holding on to
The sweet salvation
That's waiting for me and you
I know why i'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too?
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'?
Let the spirit move you
Just close your eyes and let it flow
Lean your head back, let it go
I know where i'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
(repeat chorus)
I know where i'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
I got my reservations
And i got one for you
I know why i'm singin'
Don't you want to sing too?
Can't you hear the bells a ringin'?
Let the spirit move you
Spirit move you, yeah
I know where i'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
I know where i'm goin'
Don't you wanna come too?
6.Love Can Build A Bridge
I'd gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
Of bread i had to eat
I would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinkin'
Let me show you what love means
(chorus)
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?
I would whisper love so loudly
Every heart could understand
That love and only love
Can join the tribes of man
I would give my heart's desire
So that you might see
The first step is to realize
That it all begins with you and me
(repeat chorus)
When we stand together
It's our finest hour
We can do anything, anything
Keep believin' in the power
(repeat chorus)
Love and only love
Love and only love
7.River Of Time
I'm holding back a flood of tears
Just thinking 'bout those happy years
Like all the good times that are no more
My love is gone...gone...gone forever more
Silence so deep only my soul can hear
Says now the past is what i fear
The future isn't what it used to be
Only today is all that's promised me
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time
We're all driven by the winds of change
Seems like nothing ever stays the same
It's fate that guides me around the bend
Life's forever beginning, beginning again
Flow on, river of time
Wash away the pain and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away
And leave it all far behind
Flow on river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on, river of time
Flow on
Carry me away and heal my mind
Flow on river of time
Flow on
Flow on river of time
8.The Sweetest Gift
One day a mother
Come to a prison
To see an 'erring
But precious son
She told the warden
How much she loved him
It did not matter
What he had done
She did not bring to him
(bring to him)
Parole or pardon
(pardon free)
She brought no silver
(brought no gold)
No pomp nor style
(him to see)
It was a halo
(halo bright)
Sent down from heaven
(heaven's light)
The sweetest gift
(a mother's smile)
Her boy had wandered
Far from the far side
Though she had pleaded
With him each night
But not a word did
She ever utter
That told her heartaches
Her smile was bright
(repeat chorus)
She left a smile
You can remember
She's gone to heaven
From heartache's free
Them bars around you
Will never change her
He was her baby
An error will be
(repeat chorus)
It was a halo bright
Sent down from heaven's light
The sweetest gift
A mother's smile
9.When King Jesus Calls His Children Home
When they plant me like a seed in the ground
In silent sleep beneath some mossy mound
I'll be like a rose just waitin' for the spring
'cause i'm a gonna rise up, rise up, shout and sing
'cause there ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
When i hear, i hear that trumpet sound
I know i've been a dyin' since the day that i was born
But now i'm living for that resurrection morn'
(chorus)
When king jesus calls his children home
When king jesus calls his children home
I'm a gonna wear my snow white gown
I'm gonna put on a starry crown
When king jesus calls his children home
Like a bird in a cage that's been set free
My soul will sing throughout eternity
I'll shed this mortal shell, oh, let ol' satan stay in hell
I'll see glory that no human tongue can tell
(repeat chorus)
Ye know not the hour
Ye know not the day
So, be humble, my children
Hide and watch and pray
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
10.Who Is This Babe
Who is this baby
Where did he come from
He's the son of a carpenter
The chosen one
He's the hope of the angels
A gift of his love
Just a child in a manger
Gods only son
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Shepards were watching
Out under the sky
When the star over bethlehem
Lit up the night
He's the light in the darkness
A gift from above
He is held with the spirit
Of gods holy love
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Angels sing
Worship our king
