Somebody Saved Me

Written by Roebuck Staples

Some, somebody saw me
When, when I was wanderin'
Out, in the desert
All laden, with sin

Some, somebody saw me
And, and with compassion
Called, to me gently
Sayin', sayin' come in

Some, somebody saved me
When, when I was sinkin'
Some, somebody rescued
My soul from the grave

Some, (somebody, somebody) somebody pulled me
Close, close to his bosom
Ah, it was Jesus
Mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty, mighty King, Jesus


Lord Give Me Just A Little More Time

Written by Albert E. Brumley

I'm busy every day as I travel on my way
to that city far beyond the sky
And there is not a doubt,
that time is running out
As harvest time is drawing nigh
Lord I need a little time
To gather in the grain>
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Lord, give me just a little more time
Give me just a little more time
So many precious souls are lost in sin
So many may be left behind
I gotta lot of things that I, I need to do
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Well I need a little time to labor for my Lord
Before the final judgment day
And I need a little time, to preach the Holy Word
To the sinner man along life's way
Every moment that I have to tarry here below
I'll try to make my lamp to shine
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Well, give me just a little more time
Give me just a little more time
So many precious souls are lost in sin
So many may be left behind
I gotta lot of things that I, I need to do
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Lord, give me just a little more time
Give me just a little more time
So many precious souls are lost in sin
So many may be left behind
I gotta lot of things that I, I need to do
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
Give me just a little more time
I'm ready when you call me, but give me just a little more time


Way Down

Written by Marty Stuart and Harry Stinson

While on this Earth, Jesus did a lot of talking
He proved it in his words and in his walking
Well he was not a man of this world's design
I'm here to tell you friends, he was one of a kind
He gave us many gifts, gifts from above
But the greatest of these don't you know is love

Way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
You can find the love of Jesus
In the bottom of your heart

Well ain't it easy every day to get discouraged
Sometimes we want to turn and run, hide and worry
But don't be like the man who ran all his life
He never let the love of Heaven's light shine down around him
And show him the key to Peace, Joy and Eternity

Ah way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
You can find the love of Jesus
In the bottom of your heart

When on that final judgment day
When I'm called up from out of the grave
And I'm standing with the Angels up in the sky
With Jesus and my Father side by side
I want to hear him say, "Joe well done.
Welcome home my child, you're race is run."
"You did some things to be proud of
But the greatest of these was when you showed love."

Way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
You can find the love of Jesus
In the bottom of your heart

Way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
Way down (way down in the bottom)
You can find the love of Jesus
In the bottom of your heart

In the bottom of your heart
In the bottom of your heart


Come Into The House Of The Lord

Written by Marty Stuart and Kenny Vaughan

Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
There's love overflowing
A joy that you'd be knowing
When you come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord

I got a friend named Jesus
He's everything, yes indeed
In your darkest hour
You can call upon his power
'Cause he knows everything you need
Every little thing you need

You don't have to preach like John the Baptist
Prophesied like Apostle Paul
If you just step inside, Jesus will provide
Love and salvation for us all
Love and salvation for us all

Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
There's love overflowing
A joy that you'd be knowing
When you come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord

I was adrift out in a desert
I led a shameful life of sin
But in my dissipation, I had a revelation
A Deacon took my hand and led me in
That's when my redemption did begin

Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
No one will be denied, no prayer will be ignored
When you come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord

Come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord
I laid my burden down, put on my robe and crown
When I come into the house of the Lord
Come into the house of the Lord


The Gospel Story Of Noah's Ark

Written by Marty Stuart and Jerry Sullivan

Here comes the Gospel Story of Noah's Ark

When God looked down on this ole world
His heart was heavy and sad
The world he'd made and the man he'd loved
Had all turned wicked and bad
As he looked over his creation
He was grieved by his own plan
But just before he destroyed everything he loved
He found him a righteous man

Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah was a righteous man
He walked with his God a-day by day
Holding to his hand
He worked without ceasin', preached without preachin'
That's a truth that shall ever stand
Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah was a righteous man

Well God said to Noah
"Build a boat and we'll call it an ark
Build it long, deep and wide
I'm gonna tell you before it starts
I'm gonna send to you, a two by two
Every good and living thing
But gather up your family and shut the door
'Cause, Brother, it's gonna rain."

For forty days and forty nights
The water came a-pourin' down
The tears from God Almighty's eyes
Covered everything on the ground
Men were screamin', women were cryin'
Noah heard it day and night
But everything on the other side of that door
Disappeared clean out of sight

Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah was a righteous man
He walked with his God a-day by day
Holding to his hand
He worked without ceasin', preached without preachin'
That's a truth that shall ever stand
Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah was a righteous man

Alright

And then one day the rain stopped fallin'
And the ark came to a rest
High and dry was ole Brother Noah
On the top of Mount Ararat
Well they opened up the window
And sent the Lord a dove
Well the dove brought back an olive branch
And we all got a bowl of love

Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah was a righteous man
He walked with his God a-day by day
Holding to his hand
He worked without ceasin', preached without preachin'
That's a truth that shall ever stand
Brother Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord
Noah was a righteous man
Well, Noah was a righteous man
Hey Noah was a righteous man


I Can't Even Walk (Without You Holding My Hand)

Written by Colbert and Joyce Croft
I thought, that number one, would always be me
I thought, I would be, what I wanted to be
I thought, that I could build, on life's sinking sand
But I can't even walk, without you holding my hand

I thought, that I could do, a lot on my own
I thought, I could make it, all alone
I thought of myself as a mighty big man
But I can't even walk, without you holding my hand

No, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand
The mountain's too high, and the valley's too wide
Down on my knees, I've learned to stand
Lord, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand

I think, that I'll make Jesus, my all-in-all
When I'm in trouble, on his name I'll call
If I don't trust in him, I'd be less than a man
Lord, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand

No, I can't even walk, without you holding my hand
The mountain's too high, and the valley's too wide
Down on my knees, I've learned to stand
And I can't even walk, without you holding my hand


It's Time To Go Home

Written by Marty Stuart

Well let me tell you what the Bible says
In First Thessalonians it is read
The 16th verse in Chapter Four
Now listen friend, let me tell you more

It says the Lord himself is gonna shout
And Gabriel will bring his trumpet out
He's gonna blow it loud from the Easter sky
And then the Saints and Christ shall rise

They'll be dancing on the clouds
They're gonna go first, to show us how
I'm talkin' about the child that's left behind
It will only be for a moment's time, then

Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Oh child it's time to go home

Meanwhile back in the gospel way
Servin' Jesus day by day
Sometimes I drift and dream at night
The the heavenly world, such a precious sight

I wonder how long will it take
'Til Jesus steps out from those gates
And says, "Come on. Now's the time
Friend don't you get left behind."

Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Oh child it's time to go home

Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Get up out of that ground (get up out of that ground)
Oh child it's time to go home
Go home


The Unseen Hand

Written by A. J. Simms

There's an unseen hand to me
That leads through ways, I cannot see
While going through, this world of woe
This hand still leads, me as I go

I'm rusting to, the unseen hand
That guides me through, this weary land
And some sweet day, I'll reach that strand
Still guided by, the unseen hand

I long to see, my Savior's face
And sing the story, of his grace
And there upon, that golden strand
I'll praise him for, his guiding hand

I'm trusting to, the unseen hand
That guides me through, this weary land
And some sweet day, I'll reach that strand
Still guided by, the unseen hand
Still guided by, the unseen hand


There's A Rainbow (At The End Of Every Storm)

Written by Marty Stuart and Harry Stinson

Well there's a rainbow at the end of every storm, oooh

When trouble and trials, stand in your way
When you get weary, too weary to pray
Look to the sky, and reach for his arm
There's a rainbow at the end, of every storm, oooh

Whether it's sickness, whether it's death
When your heart gets heavy, can't find peace or rest
When clouds of doubt, all around you form
There's a rainbow at the end, of every storm

And his name is Jesus (wonderful Savior, wonderful friend)
His name is Jesus (in the beginning, the middle, the end)
He'll be there (to help), he'll be there (to save)
To keep you from every harm
He is the rainbow at the end of every storm

Well his name is Jesus (wonderful Savior, wonderful friend)
His name is Jesus (in the beginning, the middle, the end)
He'll be there (to help), he'll be there (to save)
Keep you from every harm
He is the rainbow at the end of every storm
Well, he is the rainbow at the end of every storm, oooh


Slow Train

Written by Steve Cropper and William Bell

It's a slow, slow train, but it's moving on

Well I've got my ticket, so don't, pass me by
'Cause if I don't get on board, I just might, break down and cry
'Cause I've just got one life, to live, on this earth
Oh, get me there, won't you please, conductor sir

'Cause it's a slow, slow train, but it's moving on

Well everybody gets a ticket, you, you and me
But it's up to you to catch a ride, now that's how it's got to be
And if you want to ride that train to that peaceful, promised land
Oh, you've got to give your heart to Jesus, and put your ticket in his hand

'Cause it's a slow, slow train, but it's moving on
Oh it's a slow, slow train, but it's moving on


Move Along Train

Written by Roebuck Staples

Well move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Because my Lord's comin' and-a, he won't be long
He's gonna, take me safely home

I hear that, train a-comin'
You know it's comin' around the curve
I can hear that whistle blowin'
You know she's strainin' every nerve

Well move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Because my Lord's comin' and-a, he won't be long

Well tell that, bar room lady

'Cause the gospel train is comin'
You know it may be here tonight

Well move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Because my Lord's comin' and-a, he won't be long

Well hear that, voice a-callin'
Deep down in your bones
Well there's God's dear boy a-callin'
He's sayin' "please child come on home"

Well move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Move along train, you've got your, heavy load
Because my Lord's comin' and-a, he won't be long
He's gonna, take me safely home
