I Saw The Light Lyrics

G C G 1. I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin, I wouldn't let my dear savior in. 2. Just like a blind man I wandered a long, Worries and fears I claimed for my own. 3. I was a fool to wander and stray, Straight is the gate and narrow the way. G D7 G 1. Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night. Praise the Lord, I saw the light. 2. Then like the blind man God gave back my sight. Praise the Lord, I saw the light. 3. Now I have traded the wrong for the right, Praise the Lord, I saw the light. Chorus: G C G I saw the light, I saw the light, No more in darkness no more in night. G D7 G Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight, Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

Mansion Over The Hill Top

Lyrics

G C G 1. I’m satisfied with, just a cottage be - low, 2. Though often tempted, tormented, and tested, 3. Don’t think me poor or, deserted or lonely; D7 G 1. A little silver and a little gold; 2. And like the prophet my pillow’s a stone; 3. I’m not discouraged, I’m heaven bound. C G 1. But in that city where the ransomed will shine, 2. And though I find here no permanent dwelling, 3. I’m just a pilgrim in search of a city, D7 G 1. I want a gold one that’s silver lined. 2. I know He’ll give me a mansion of my own. 3. I want a mansion, a harp, and a crown. Chorus: C G I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop, D7 G In that bright land where we’ll never grow old; C G And someday yonder we will never more wander, D7 G But walk the streets that are purest gold.

This Great Caravan Lyrics

G B7 C We are headed for that great wonderful country, --- (We’ve told the) There are many trails going other directions, --- (to danger) Dangers all along, lurking in the dark shadows, --- (around us) G D A7 D7 Land of sin, “We’re through,” going to our new home, --- (up yonder) But our Savior, Guide, knows the one that leads home, --- (to Heaven) We will never fear, Christ is always along --- (protecting) G B7 C God’s Word is the map and we treasure it fondly, --- (we travel) We are following, never voicing objection, --- (we’re going) He will never refuse to captain our battles, --- (He’s with us) G D7 G C G This great caravan keeps on rolling along. --- (we’re happy) This great caravan keeps on rolling along. --- (we’re happy) While this caravan keeps on rolling along. --- (we’re happy) Chorus: C G We are traveling o’er the trail that is winding, --- (it’s winding) G D A7 D7 Over mountains and through the valleys below, --- (to Heaven) G B7 C Bubbling springs of pure living waters we’re finding, --- (to strengthen) G D7 G C G This great caravan keeps on rolling along.

Precious Memories Lyrics

G C G A7 D 1. Precious memories, unseen angels, Sent from somewhere to my soul; 2. Precious father loving mother, Fly across the lonely years, 3. In the stillness of the midnight, Echos from the past I hear. 4. As I travel down life's pathway, Know not what the years may hold. G C G D7 G 1. How they linger, ever near me, And the sacred past unfold. 2. And old home scenes of my childhood, In fond memories appears 3. Old time singing, gladness bringing, From that lovely land somewhere. 4. As I ponder, hopes grow fonder, Precious memories flood my soul. Chorus: G C G Precious memories how they linger, How they ever flood my soul. C G D G C G In the stillness of the midnight, Precious sacred scenes unfold.
