Dedication

This book is dedicated to four different people...

First and always Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior who is actually the true author of all my works, for it is he who gives me the talent, knowledge, and all ability I possess. So therefore I dedicate this book to him first.

Secondly I dedicate this book to my dad, Dan. Who I love with all my heart. A man who I never really knew until I left home and found out just how much he loves me.

Thirdly I dedicate this book to my mom, Carol. Who has put up with me through it all, and loved me anyway. Never gave up on me, and even when I didn't deserve it, appreciated my efforts of music (in her own words, "yep, pretty good").

Last, but most definitely not least, I dedicate this book to my loving wife, Sherri. One who tries to understand me. Puts up with my attitudes, frustrations, anticipation's, and failures; and occasionally her understanding pays off. In times like these (as well as all the other times) when she is espically proud of me.

THANK YOU

Danny

Introduction

 This is a compiled group of original works written by Rev. Daniel A. Brown III.

We have arranged these works in semi-chronological order, according to the date each was written, (some are in order as to when they were completed as a musical composition, so the dates may not always be exactly in order). Placing them in semi-chronological order will allow you the reader to follow along with the life and experiences of the author. Through reading this book the authors life will unfold before your eyes. You will see first hand the personal joy’s and pains, strengths and weaknesses, struggles, failures and victories.

Although the details of Danny's life are not a part of this book, you will readily see and understand his feelings, convictions, and attitudes as they are reflected through his songs.

Danny started writing when he was 19 years old, and had been playing in Gospel singing groups since he was 13. He has gone through many changes; from musician, to singer, to evangelist, to youth pastor, to husband, to dad, to pastor, all during the course of the writings contained in this book. Thus these writings will allow you to appreciate the way in which Jesus, our LORD, who lives in Danny, flows out to others through his pen.

We personally want to thank you for choosing this publication, and taking the time to sit down and read it. We sincerely hope that this will be an encouragement and a source of strength, as you read and enjoy this collection.

Legion Of Angels 1

 I know there are times

when Satan is tempting you

and you feel you just can't win

Oh but in your darkest hour

just pray for God's power

He'll send a legion of angels

then you can win

He'll send a legion of angels

to watch over you

A legion of angels

to carry you through

When earth’s seas are raging

you need help there's no doubt

He'll send a legion of angels

to pull you out

God’s word says were not fighting

against flesh and blood

but principalities and powers of this world

Oh so without one doubt

in ourselves there's no power

But when we call

on his wonderful name

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

March 10, 1986

When I wrote "Legion of Angels" I was following the hearse, from Caledonia Assembly of God Church to the Lost Creek Cemetery near Berryman MO, to bury my Grandma Brown. She had been very Ill with cancer for quite some time, so her death came as no surprise. But I, having been so close to her, was taking it rather hard. She was the first person close to me to die. However while driving to the committal service, God gave me a personal promise in the words of this song, "I’ll send a legion of angels, to carry you through".

I believe God had his hand on me and on everything surrounding me on this very special day. Oh, it was a difficult day to get through indeed. But on the other hand, this was a colossal turning point in my life. For with one moment of inspiration, through my own weakness, I found purpose. If I would not have been so distraught emotionally and only about half thinking, I would have never picked up a pen and started writing down the words that were coming to me. Most of the songs I’ve written were written when I was either to tired to think, or at my wits end emotionally. This first one was not only no exception, it was the example. God always brings out his best, in our worst.

This one experience changed my life more than any other thing I can think of. Through writing "Legion of Angels" God showed me a great part of the call he had placed on my life.

Knowing my Grandma Brown, I’m sure she would have wanted nothing more, than for her grandson to find a key to his spiritual calling through the time of her passing.

 Grandma "I LOVE YOU".

Tell Him How Much You Love Him 2

Why don't you give a little blessing to the Lord today

Let him know how much you love him

He understands every trial we face

leads us through them hand in hand

Though we face a little trial every now and then

he loves us through every one of them

So give a little blessing to the Lord today

let him know how much you love him

Come on now pick up your head / stand to your feet

Raise up your hands and start to speak

Thank the Lord for everything he's done

for making you his son

When the praise starts coming from your lips

you'll see how light your burden gets

Then your trial will grow so dim

just tell him how much you love him

Sometimes we refer to God as love

or as our burden bearer

But in deed we deny his grace and love

for we never kneel in prayer

Whether you stand or sit or jump or crawl

just thank him now for being God

Let him know you know he's the Lord of all

Tell him how much you love him

I'm Yours Now 3

Lord here I am

not much to human eyes

But I know with your touch

you'll take away my pride

And make me a vessel

that can be used by you

Take my hands to do your will

that your plan I may fulfill

Just take my life and use it

for I'm yours now

I'm yours now

my heart my soul my everything

I'm yours now

for me I want nothing

Lord please take away those stains of sin

and let me be your child again

Just take my life and use it

for I'm yours now

Lord I know you hear my plea

and all I wish is to be like thee

Just take this clay and mold it

to the image of your face

And if through my life as I walk this road

you can touch one more hungry soul

My labor is not in vain

for I'm yours now

I've Been Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb 4

Now some folks say

I shouldn't talk of blood this way

Now that's bad manners

you just don't talk about those things

But once you've tasted

of that precious crimson flow

You just can't help it

gotta tell it everywhere you go

I've been washed in the blood of the lamb

I've been saved, filled with the Holy Ghost I am

I am an heir to the God of Abraham

I've been washed in the blood of the lamb

Oh if your sin sick soul

is aching my dear friend

Just turn to Jesus

tell him all the pain there is

He will wash you

then you to will understand

The blessing there is

in the blood of the lamb

As Long As I Know Jesus 5

Some may think I am a pauper

some may think I am a king

Some may praise the ground on which I walk

while others mock my name

But whatever mans opinion is

doesn't matter after all

Just as long as I know Jesus

and he knows me at judgment call

As long as I know Jesus

every things all right with me

There is a crown up there for me

beyond the glassy sea

As long as I know Jesus

every things all right with me

And though I'm poor, I've got much more

I'm joint heirs with Christ the King

Many a rich man and many a pauper

I may meet from day to day

But if I show them God is love

then maybe they to will say

Come in Lord Jesus and sup with me

just fill my cup I pray

For as long as I know Jesus

everything will be okay

The Songwriters Song 6

Well I've sat down on the back porch

many times to write a song

I'd write down all my feelings

but they always came out wrong

I'd tell the folks about Jesus

about the father and the son

I'd write about his promises

and all he's ever done

Then one day I was praying

on my knees before the Lord

I realized that his songs

are anointed by his word

So I read the word and wrote this song

to tell you that he came

He lived and died, was crucified

that you might be redeemed

So if you hear my message

fall on your knees and pray

He'll save your soul, and cleanse your heart

he'll give you peace today

But please don't wait to long

for he is surely calling now

His voice is soft and tender

listen to him please somehow

For friend the wages of sin are death

but the gift of God is eternal life

Chose this day whom you will serve

make Jesus the Lord of your life

He came he died upon the cross

to save your soul from all it's loss

If you will ask, he'll set you free

and you will live eternally

In your heart just believe

and he will set you free

Rolling Down Old Forty 7

I was rolling down old Forty

listening to the radio

Didn't know where I was headed

had no place to go

But as I listened to the words

of a radio song I realized

They were singing about Jesus

and how for me he died

Didn't know the words to the song

so I didn't sing along

I just kept on driving nowhere

as I listened to the songs

There was something about the message

of the tunes that I recall

Jesus blood can heal my body

and his love would save us all

(Power in the blood Chorus)

So I gave my life to Jesus

now I know those songs are true

Jesus saved my soul, and made me whole

turned gray skies into blue

Now I'm singing for the master

as on down life's road I go

And if you'll give him your life

he'll wash you white as snow

(I believe Jesus saves, and His blood washes whiter than snow)

I'm So Excited 8

Do you remember old Daniel

when he was thrown in the lions den

He just kept on a praying

and the lions could not hurt him

For God had shut the mouths of the lions

and they couldn't even roar

And Daniel went on praying

even more than he did before

I'm so excited, I'm excited

I feel like singing

I'm so excited, I'm excited

I've just got to praise the Lord

And when we praise him, we start rejoicing

we'll have that victory

Go get excited, get excited

come and see

When the day of Pentecost had fully come

and they were all with one accord

They just kept on a praying

and praising the Lord

There came a sound from Heaven

as a rushing mighty wind

And he filled their utmost being

yes every one of them

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

8/28/1986

This song was written while I was playing bass guitar for a gospel singing group in St. Louis MO. The only problem was I had to stand still, not move at all, and play simple base patterns, I was even instructed not to move my lips along with the singers. Well to say the least, my feelings spilled out, and we wound up with, "I’m So Excited".

I Can't Wait 9

Well when I was but a child

we would sing them good old songs

About Jesus coming back

to take his children home

Now the signs are oh so clear

that that time is drawing near

Soon that day will be here

and I can't wait

I can't wait,

till I get to the other side

I can't wait,

in his love I'll ever abide

When he takes me by the hand

I will join that angel band

To sing praises to the lamb

and I can't wait

Well as Jesus was ascending

up into the clouds of glory

He said comfort one another

with this simple little story

If he went away, he'd come again

and would receive us unto him

I can't wait till that day

I can't wait

An Overcomer's Standing Here 10

You say you just don't know how hard it is

to meet the Devil eye to eye

Don't you know that he's defeated

when in Christ's love ye abide

Though many tears many times

you may have seen me cry

I conquered every trial

when I stood at Jesus side

I know I know I surely know

it makes my joy bells ring

No trial can overcome me

when in God's word I'm standing

So when I feel persuaded

to yield to earthly fears

I confess to everyone around

an Overcomer's standing here

If we ask of the father

for a little piece of bread

Do you think he would give us

a stone instead

Remember Paul and Silas

and I think that you will find

All of Jesus' answers

keep coming right on time

But Jesus 11

Bill collector called today

nothing new he had to say

Except my payments overdue

but that I already knew

It seems my road is full of bends

there's always something to attend

it seems my trials never end

But Jesus, is the answer

when all of mine have failed

And Jesus, is the sea calmer

when my ship has failed to sail

When the mountains to high

or the rivers to wide

it seems I've reached the bitter end

Well I don't know how but Jesus

helps me through it once again

Trials surround me on all sides

there are tears in my eyes

On this one thing I can depend

that he is coming back again

And when I think of him returning

then my soul begins to yearning

I see these trials are little things

I Just Must Live For Jesus 12

Just why I live for Jesus

some folks just can't understand

They just don't know the peace there is

when holding to his hand

They never knelt and prayed at an altar

the way that I once did

They don't realize that Jesus died

for them that they might live

(But) I saw the tree where Jesus bled

and died for all my sins

On that cruel tree he paid the price

now I can have sweet peace within

And if that's not enough he has promised us

he'd give us everlasting life

I just must live for Jesus

every day of my life

As Jesus rose up through the clouds

he said comfort one another with these words

If I go away I will come again

and the story we've often heard

But if you fail to heed the masters call

and kneel at an altar of prayer

He'll come and take his bride away

and you'll be left in your despair

Lead Me On 13

Sometimes I'm low in spirit

sometimes I feel all alone

But when I turn to Jesus he's always

there to help me through the storm

Though sometimes I can't see the light of day

He's there beside me all the way

He meets my need and then he

gently leads me on

Lead me on, precious Jesus

Lead me on though the way is rough

For whatever comes my way I know

that you can lead me on

Lead me on, through the midnight

Lead me on, though tears hide the light

Lead me on, Blessed Savior

Lead me on

Lord there are things in my life I don't understand

Things in this life, I can't comprehend

But by your grace, you'll see me through

till that day I reign with you

So whether darkness of night, or light of day

I know that you are going to make a way

So answer Lord, please when I pray

for you to lead me on

Let's Keep Singing 14

Some folks just don't understand

the change that's been in me

But though they don't believe it

it don't change the facts you see

Christ died upon Mt. Calvary

on the third day rose again

He set me free and I'm gonna sing

and bless his name again

I'm so glad that, Jesus found me

I'm so happy, because I'm free

He sent his spirit, it's dwelling in me

and now I'm shouting victory

Let's keep singing, keep on shouting

have a little heaven, while were down here

And the road is so much brighter

and our path is full of cheer

Now you may think I'm crazy

or maybe just insane

But that really doesn't matter though

there's power in Jesus name

And if you don't receive it

surely death will be your goal

But as for those who still receive

let's sing before we go

He set me free so I can sing

his praises unto him

When I sing his praises

his power comes again

So I'll sing until old Gabriel

blows his trumpet loud and strong

& When he blows that trumpet lord

the saints are going home

The Fences Are Falling 15

Satan has some strong holds

holding these people down

If they refuse to praise the lord

let the stones make a joyful sound

Jesus is a sure foundation

he's the rock that won't roll away

Just turn your eyes to Jesus

say old devil get out of the way

You can't ride on the fences

You can't ride on the wall

You can't ride on the fences

for the fence is fixing to fall

Jesus said your either cold or hot

better make your choice today

Better make your choice to serve the Lord

or brother your fixing to pay

You've been living compromise

exceptions to the rules

Peer pressure all around you

and you don't know which to choose

Either get right or get left my friend

you've got everything to lose

Because if you miss that rapture

you'll soon be singing the blues

Remember Christ the savior

when he cursed that old fig tree

He said if you don't bare no fruit

you ain't no good to me

So if that flesh your living in

is just an empty shell

You better get your house in order

so you'll save your soul from hell

Touch Some Soul Through Me Today 16

Headlines read disaster

the world is falling apart

A child far away is dying

and sometimes just of a broken heart

The anchor man says there is no hope

for survivors lost at sea

Our evening news is so depressing

it seems it's killing you and me

Lord please give me eyes to see

me fellow man who's crying desperately

Let me show their aching wasting soul

you can wash him make him white as snow

Help me not to see his filthy rags

just let me see the pain he has

Just let me be your vessel lord

to touch that soul through me today

While there is just no place like home

in this beautiful land of the free

We seem to be so blinded

living in our luxury

Every where it's all around us

the end times are here right now

How can we justify our blinded eyes

our friends are headed straight for hell

Lord You Are So Loving 17

When people don't understand me

Lord sometimes they take me wrong

His love will always pull me through

He holds my hand and makes me strong

Though Satan come against me

Like a mighty roaring lion

I know from whenst cometh my help

there's power in Jesus name

Lord you are so loving

no man can be so kind

I love you Lord with all my heart

my body soul and mind

Very soon your coming for your bride

with robes of spotless white

And on that white cloud in the sky

to heaven we will fly

When Jesus was down here on earth

he went through trials, tribulation, and pain

But his father up in heaven above

gave him all power through his name

Now he's sitting at his fathers side

at the right hand of the King

Interceding for you and I

He gives us strength when we call his name

PRAISE THE LORD THROUGH THE VALLEYS 18

Way down somewhere in my soul there's a longing

To see Jesus have his way in my life

With every trail that comes my way

He will give me when I pray

The answer to all this worlds pain and strife

Prince of peace, God of plenty

From whom all blessings flow

Jehovah God, Lord God almighty

I want the whole wide world to know

Though there (are) mountains, in the way

He will move them when you pray

And praise the Lord, through the valleys

Praise the Lord

Oh the friends I meet along this road I'm walking

May not understand, the way I feel inside

and though the road is dark and drear

I've a friend who's always near

He is my closest friend, in him I can abide

If ye abide in me, and I in thee

You have never need to fear

For when the trials come, and the pressure's on

You will find I'm always near

So keep on walking, down that road,

Until you reach that final goal

And you will find, every time,

On every mountain, you must climb

That I am there, to give you cheer

And blessed strength, in your despair

So just trust in me, Just trust in me

And I'll be there

And Abraham believed it, what the Lord said it would be done

Sarah laughed when she heard the news, she said this could not be true

She was at the age of 90, her womb was barren since her youth

But what the Lord said he completed, Sarah's miracle was done

Abraham fathered many nations, Just as the Lord said would be done

Well God knows the miracle, Your looking for today

Turn to him for the answer, he will not turn you away

Don't speak defeat or faithlessness, believe the word he says and

He will perform your miracle, Just put your trust in Jesus hands

Well I was once in bondage, to every person place and thing

I was lost in the dark of night, could not see the light of day

Then I heard Jesus calling me, from the bondage's of sin

And I gave it all to Jesus, and he gave me peace within

He will perform your miracle

He will he said he would

He will perform your miracle

He will don't ya know he could

If you'll just ask him believing

It's already on the way

He will perform your miracle

Just believe him when you pray

One More Time Lord 20

Do you recall in

John the twentieth chapter

When the Lord, came unto them

And when they saw him

there in their presence

He spoke peace, peace unto them

One more time lord

let us feel your presence

One more time

like you did back then

Just let us feel your

precious Holy Spirit

Moving through our

lives once again

If we but get our hearts

in the attitude of worship

and we begin to praise the lord

He'll send his spirit

into our presence

just like he did on that day before

Written at Bob & Ida Lawson’s at the old upright piano I had put in their living room. We would often have singings and prayer meetings in her living room or out on the porch. What wonderful memories of the power of God saturating the room with his presence. That was truly our prayer, every time we came together, "One More Time LORD"

God Still Saves 21

Today I started down

a street I used to trod

I saw that same old crowd

I used to be a part of

I saw their disappointment

their gloom and deep despair

And I prayed to God in heaven

help me to make them aware

God still saves, he saves

no matter where you've been

He'll change your life completely

and give you peace within

He'll take you off that road your walking

with such a heavy load

And put you on the straight and narrow

that will lead to streets of gold

Now my friend if your the one

this song was written for

Please listen to it's message

for it's meaning is much more

You see streets with signs and pot holes

need repair from day to day

But the message in this song is love

that will never fade away

Let's Stop ... And Thank The Lord 22

When lightning strikes, and thunder rolls

it seems this world is growing cold

And when you stop and look around

there's not a friend that can be found

And when you can't tell night from day

your answer seems so far away

Just take the time to look up now

cause Jesus is reaching down

So let's STOP! and thank the Lord

for the valleys along the road

And when we thank him, through the testing

he starts to pouring, another blessing

You say you don't quite understand

just how he reaches down his hand

How by giving thanks through trials you face

he gives you this unseeming grace

But just you try it and you'll find

that it will work time after time

Just take the time to look up now

for Jesus is reaching down

The Captain Is Leading Me Home 23

Down Here we go through tribulation

just why we don't understand

But I know God's there beside me

for I feel him holding my hand

When it seems I've reached the end of my rope

he reaches down and puts me back in the boat

And soon I'll sail to the other shore

and I'll praise his name ever more

I'm going home some happy day

I will reach that heavenly shore

I'll have no more pain all sunshine no rain

and I'll see those who've gone on before

And though I've been through some rough seas down here

and though I've seen the billows grow fierce

My captain has guided my vessel so well

soon I'm gonna' stand and tell

Hey everybody listen to me now

I've got somethin' that I wanna' tell you about

I've come cross the rivers and the seas and oceans

but Jesus helped me keep my ship in motion

No stormy gale no wind to rough

that Jesus couldn't make a way out for us

Now we've nearly made it to that heavenly shore

Let's praise his name ever more

If you see my burdens heavy

I'm cumbered with a load of care

Don't worry about my burden

my father dries every tear

Just whisper a word of prayer for me

and the master will calm the raging sea

And although the ways been rough and long

I'll still be singing my song

He's There 24

Where will you go

when the party's over

To who will you turn

when friends are gone

And loneliness has hovered

all around you

Just call on Jesus

for the strength to carry on

He's there in lonely times

He's there when you need him

He's there when all the worlds against you

or you just might need a friend

He's there through every disappointment

though you stumbled and you fell

He'll pick you up and start you singing

put a rainbow through your cloud as well

So many people in this world

have so much heartache

They just can't seem to find

which way to go

But if they could only

turn to Jesus

He'd be there friend as on down

life's road they go

He Has Called Us To His Kingdom 25

Some he made apostles

to preach his holy word

Some he made evangelists

to sing and preach from church to church

But to us yes every one and all

he gave a ministry

He has called us to his kingdom

so that men may be set free

Now Jesus came from heaven

and he walked among men

He came for our redemption

to fulfill salvation's plan

He died upon Mt. Calvary

on the third day rose again

He has called us to his kingdom

to win lost souls to him

He said, Friends I must go away

to set at my fathers side

He's up there in that land so fair

my pilot and my guide

He is building me a mansion fair

next to his fathers throne

He has called us to his kingdom

and very soon he'll take us home

Sinner Please Listen 26

We talk down here about troubles

about sins and the things of this life

We see all the heartache and struggle

and we say lord why must we cry

He says there's a soul out there crying

please give me peace within

So we go on a singing, a teaching, and preaching

so another can make him their friend

Oh sinner please listen

if there's something you're missing

my Lord has the key for you today

He said he would be there

to answer your prayer

just fall on your knees and pray

If you'll just ask believing

in your heart you'll receive him

he'll come in and make your heart right

He'll walk there beside you

his big hand to guide you

and give you eternal life

We talk down here about mansions

about gold and the things of this life

But there's only one true satisfaction

that makes you feel good down inside

It's not found in a bottle, in a pill-box, or wallet

or smoking something just to get high

The only real satisfaction, comes from the action

of making Jesus the Lord of your life

The Painting 27

My friend let me paint a picture

of a man who's race is run

A warning is in order

if you, know not, God's son

For the scene upon my canvas

is not pretty to the eye

But if you will heed it's warning

your soul will never die

You see a man called Christ descended

a long long time ago

He spoke of love and mercy

and of how to free the soul

But they tried and convicted him

they mocked him to shame

He died upon a rugged tree

loving you through all his pain

Now it's been many years since he was here

and the story is often told

Many won't receive it

say it happened so long ago

But if you'll heed this warning

he will save your soul from sin

And when you start believing

you will find true peace within

Now friend you can see the picture

unveiled before your eyes

It has no fancy border

but it brings a soft surprise

If you'll believe the story

your eyes see, your soul will tell

Though the painting's rather simple

the message saves your soul from hell

He's My Friend 28

You say it's hard, to find a real friend

one who'll stick through thick and thin

When trials come, it seems their all gone

there's no one to lend a hand

I know a friend who is that real friend

on him you can depend

If you'll put your trust in this friend

he'll go with you through the end

He's my friend

when ever I need him

He's my friend

and he holds my hand

He's my friend

through the darkness of midnight

He is my closest friend

like no other has ever been

In Psalms, the 37th chapter

King David, of old once said

"I have never, seen the righteous forsaken

or their seed, out begging for bread"

So when friends down here they leave you

they may leave you, all alone

Simply put your trust in Jesus

he will never, leave you on your own

Help Me Keep My Eyes Upon You 29

Lord you know I have some faults

and oft times they get me down

But as long as I stand beside you

I'm heading for that Higher Ground

I speak your name and your there again

even in my lowest hour

Guiding me so I can see

I'm learning overcoming power

Oh Lord I need to feel your touch

the double portion of your grace

I need to feel your nail scarred hands

see the image of your face

Let my soul be endued with power

that comes from God on high

Help me keep my eyes upon you

for you may come back tonight

Yes now I can see the answer

to every trial I go through

I just keep my eyes upon his face

his nail scarred hand will lead me through

So Lord take my hand, my heart and soul

until we stroll that golden strand

And when I finally reach that city

I will join that angel band

Never Despair, Jesus Is There 30

Are the winds a little gusty

are the waves a little rough

Do you say when your tossed about

There's not a man in all this world

So quit looking for a hero

and let Jesus have control

Never despair

Jesus is there

When no one cares

he'll care for you

Never despair

Jesus is there

When your load's to hard to bear

he will share it with you

There's no valley that's to big

there's no mountain that's to high

There's no ocean that's to far across

God Will Part The Water 31

Does Satan come against you

he surround you like a flood

When your trying to walk forward

do you bog down in the mud

Remember that old story

in the Bible it was told

'Bout Moses and old Israel

and how God let them go

Well Pharaoh had God's children

in bondage unto him

He would not let them go

so God sent plagues throughout the land

Israel came down to the Red Sea

and they walked right on across

But Pharaoh's army drowned

for our God let down the walls

God will part the water

Satan's rolling in on you

He'll dry up all the mud

so that you can walk on through

When you've done all that you can to stand

then he will stand for you

And when you and Jesus stand

old Satan he is through

Well victory can be sung now

by anyone that's true

Because Satan was defeated

when Christ Jesus died for you

So when that toothless lion

starts roaring, say hey look

Satan your defeated

See here it's written in the book

There are things which I have done before

things of which I am not proud

When I think of them at night

Then I remember how Jesus bled and died

to take away my sin

Those sins are gone, they're all washed away

he made me a brand new man

Lord I want to be a witness

for you, and show your glory

I want to tell the world

just what you've done for me

Let some hurting soul hear what I have to say

as I lift up your holy name

Lord I want to be a witness for you

and help my brother through

Now when I see someone in sin

I see the load their bearing

And I wish that they could feel the love

with Jesus I am sharing

But can they hear without a preacher

how will they know without they're told

If we don't share the love of Jesus

they'll never walk on streets of gold

Seek out the old paths

Pray again and again

Let's seek out the old paths

And walk therein

Let go and let God

Let go and let God

GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS 36

We come to church on Sunday morning

kneel to pray, and stand and sing

Listen to a fifteen minute sermon

then we hear that dinner bell ring

We bow our heads, and fold our hands

God is great, God is good Amen

Then it's back next Sunday morning

to go through the same old thing

Well were going through the motions

we've got all the right moves

We know where to sit, and where to stand

but it seems were warming the pews

We've lost the desire to intercede

and spend time with the Lord down on our knees

While we're going through the motions

our first love we failed to keep

Well we're proud to claim the Christian name

to friends we meet and see

But our actions speak louder than our words

when you're out upon the street

We don't go to movies or worldly places

that would be a sin

But a love for a lost and dying world

we've failed to keep within

They that wait upon the Lord

So I'm waiting on the Lord

On wings as eagles

I'm learning how to fly

ON wings as eagles

sailing to lofty heights

While the storms, are a raging

I'm waiting on the Lord

Upon wings as an eagle

I'm safely above the storm

Their are times I feel lonely

sometimes I'm tossed about

When I see the situation

Then I'm reminded about waiting

and I know it comes to pass

and we become so confused

When someone is aching

we somehow fail to be used

Why can't we just turn to Jesus

Why can't we love one another

Why can't we love one another

learn to make each other strong

While each one prays for the other

become the way we belong

When in accord we're together

we know the spirit is near

Why can't we love one another

and fill our hearts with cheer

At times it seems I'm self centered

with the love of God Jehovah

Said rise take up thy bed ad walk

and it was done immediately

Well their is not a man

who can put you in the water

Their is not a man

who can set your spirit free

But I know the son of man

and he has walked upon the water

And He sacrificed his life

so that we could be set free

Some folks may think they need a man

someone who'll help them when they're weaker

how Jesus blood could set them free

that works for every believer

Out of this word

He Will Always Be My Lord 46

They say that all good things must end

and that a loser cannot win

A man that's hurting deep within

is never truly freed from sin

But there is one who's always been

he's the son of the God of Abraham

Though the dark of night once reigned within

I'm abiding in the light of the son of man

I know that I have been washed clean

with the blood of Calvary

My song of praise will always be

to the one who died for me

My heart once battered scarred and torn

can sing a song of praise once more

Yes Jesus has my soul reborn

and he will always be my lord

Some say we're the victim of destiny

some say what will be will be

A blinded man can never see

the futures bleak for you and me

But I know one who calmed the sea

and that same one now lives in me

If his child you will be

Well Done 48

Well I'm reminded of two cities so evil and bad

their sins were second to none

Homosexuals and Prostitutes everywhere they had

but a righteous man there was none

God rained down fire from heaven

he destroyed their filthy land

With fire and brimstone, he burnt them to a crisp

when he simply said well done

Well done, Well done

your reward you will receive

Well done, Well done

you could have just believed

Whether well done faithful servant

enter thou into the joys of the Lord

Or well done burn forever

We will all receive our reward

Well remember in the Bible, a story that was told

about people and their love for gold

Ananias and Saphira lied to the Lord

they didn't think he'd keep his word

Well God said your gonna pay for this evil deed

your justice you will receive

So he struck them dead right there on the spot

when he simply said well done

When I complete my journey, and I stand before God

with a list of all the deeds that I've done

I wanna hear him tell'em spare the chastening rod

his names here, he's my son

Every sin that I've committed is under the blood

and now I'm glory bound

My eternal reward is over on the other shore

where I'll hear God say well done

Daddy Knows 49

Some Christians think they're pulling the wool

right down over daddy's eyes

They think what's done in secret

will never come to light

They think their secret sins

have really been disguised

And no one knows, just them alone

Daddy knows the number

of each hair upon my head

He knows where ere I wonder

he knows when I go to bed

His eyes see every sparrow fall

he hears each baby cry

Whether big or small, he loves us all

yes, daddy knows

Now when I get discouraged

when these knees, have failed to stand

When it seems that no one cares for me

there's no one to lend a hand

When it seems I'm at my lowest

It's then that I'm reminded

yes, Daddy knows

Jesus Is All To Me 50

If today I lost all I own

my possessions in this world

And I had to start all over again

to make it the best I could

Well I know if I had Jesus

everything would be okay

For as long as I have Jesus

I have everything I need

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

He's the breath of life, when I am weak

he gives me strength when I call his name

He's the one, who's made, the flowers grow

he's made mine eyes to see

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

Before I have taken for granted

all my blessings from the Lord

I didn't realize he cared for me

and he'd be with me where I'd go

But now he lifts me up above the clouds

when I meet him on bended knee

And through the storm, I'm not alone

he is everything I need

Tag

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

He's the light at the end of the darkness

that light I now can see

Although, I'm looking, through a smoky glass

very soon his face I'll see

Jesus is all to me, he's everything I need

I Will Sing 51

He told me, child your chosen

He told me, child your loved

He called me to his kingdom

I'm royalty now through his blood

He's given me the power

to reign victorious over sin

I've traded guilt and such confusion

for this peace I have within

So I will sing

and praise his holy name

I will sing a song of worship

I will sing a song of praise

I'll gladly stand up for the Savior

just as he stood for me

I'll praise his name for the redemption

he bought for me on Calvary

When the road ahead gets long and dark

with burdens and with cares

I call his name, and he's there again

in the hour of my despair

So why should I go to another

when perfect peace I've found

It seems like I'm in heaven

although my feet are on the ground

Jesus Cares For Me 52

Many times I feel unworthy

I feel oh so small

When Satan starts to whisper

those lies that once made me fall

I feel the hand of Jesus

and I know he's always there

He walks beside me all the while

I know my Jesus cares

Jesus cares for me

Oh yes he cares for me

He sends his angels

to watch over me

He walks right by my side

and the evil he betides

He meets my every need

yes Jesus cares for me

Now when Satan starts to whisper

I say get thee behind

Jesus gave me authority

old slew-foot which to bind

With the tempter far behind me

I shall live in victory

Shouting glory hallelujah

Jesus cares for me

His Hands 53

Did you ever hear someone say

look at that mans hands

You can tell he's had a hard life

he must have lived from off the land

But the greatest story ever told

by the hands of any man

Was the story that the nail prints showed

when Jesus died to cleanse my sin

His hands showed suffering

his hands knew pain

His hands healed sick bodies

with just one touch their whole again

His hands bore my cross

on the way to Calvary

And his hands still showed such love

as soldiers nailed them to the tree

As a child I thought my mothers hands

were the best I'd ever view

Her hands were always gentle

she always knew just what to do

They pointed right to Jesus

and every time he was there

With his hands outstretched he'd whisper

Peace, my child I care

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

November 24, 1986

Even though this song mentions my Mothers hands, it was actually my Daddy’s hands that inspired this song. He, being an auto body repair man, always had callused, cracked, and dirty looking (stained) hands. I remember many times seeing his hands and thinking to myself, I’ll never let my hands look like that. But one day it suddenly dawned on me, that each of those scars, scrapes, scratches, and stains were made trying to support me and our family. Then suddenly those same hands went from ugly to precious in my eyes. And I could see Jesus hands, though scarred, precious also.

Calvary 54

There's a place I hold so dear to my heart

it's a place I often go

So many have found this peace I have now

it's beauty so often has been told

To the human eye it's attraction is so small

it's there my Savior gave his all

And all who go there, can have peace within

and find strength within to be strong

Oh Calvary is my refuge

when I'm troubled and my light grown dim

And at Calvary, I find strength to be

triumphant over sin

Oh my friend just look to Jesus

for your strength in the time of storm

And you will find, a hand so kind

waiting there at Calvary

Now at Calvary, so long ago

a man named Jesus, he died

And on a cruel cross, for all my sin

the son of God was crucified

But on the third day, he rose up from the grave

over sin and death victorious

He reigns today and he sent me to say

he loves you just as much

Why Must We Bury Our Wounded Soldier 55

There are often warriors

wounded in battle

At the face of the enemy

It seems their strength is gone

But with some prayer and assistance

Dr. Jesus can heal them

And when that warrior returns to war

He'll learn to fight and be strong

Why must we bury

our wounded soldier

When we could pray for them

and make them strong

We could make them whole again

with the love of our father

Oh we must try and make

that weak soldier strong

Now there are many

who sometimes stumble

And through there own weaknesses

submit to sin

But when we see them stumble

we should learn to be humble

Kneel and help them before they crumble

instead of walking over them

There Ain't No-body, Gonna Hold My Body Down 56

Jesus is coming soon

this I surely know

Without a doubt I know it's true

the Bible tells me so

And it also says to comfort

one another with these words

So I'm singing shouting happy

for the good news I have heard

There ain't nobody

Gonna' hold my body down

There ain't nobody

Gonna' keep me on the ground

When Jesus calls me to the sky

That very moment I'm gonna' fly

There ain't nobody

Gonna' hold my body down

Now when you feel disheartened

Getting lower by the hour

Your looking all around you

for some kind of peace or power

Just take a look toward heaven

and then on to the throne

You'll have peace like a river

for your God's still on the throne

Jesus said in the last days

he would pour out of his spirit

He'd give of peace and power

to everyone who'd hear it

So when I'm feeling lowly

cares of life are weighing down

I put my faith in Jesus

and my mind is glory bound

Just Tell It To Jesus 57

Well you can talk to your neighbor, you can talk to the wall

you can talk to the man on the radio

You can talk until, you are blue in the face

and still not make your feelings known

But when you get your mind on Jesus, and you talk to the Lord

he hears every single word

Their is no misunderstanding, no request is to demanding

when you speak to him you know your always heard

So just tell it to Jesus

whenever you may have a problem

No matter what the situation

you know that he will always solve them

Just start to praying in the spirit

you know that he will always hear it

And he will answer when you speak it

he is the only one who can

Now when you discover, the power in prayer

and you see what simple faith can do

You'll see he's one true friend, whenever you call on him

no matter where, he comes through

When you speak to him in secret, and with faith you believe it

no telling what you can do

You will always receive, what you need when you ask him

so talk to him and he will bring you through

Lord Please Help Me 59

I'm so lonely now, my skies are gray

and no one's around to talk to

Seems my friends have all gone away

Though I'm blue inside, my tears I hide

I don't let them see me cry

Without a doubt I know that I

need Jesus in my heart

Oh Jesus come meet me

I need you to talk to

And I need to feel your hand

along life’s' narrow way

With just one touch you'll meet my need

I ask you right here on my knees

Jesus please please please

Lord please help me

Now as I walk life’s' road each day

fulfilling that days tasks

I know a hand is leading me

and I'm safe from Satan's blasts

Though the tempter throw his darts at me

sometimes makes me fall

Jesus I Love You 60

I had a dream the other night

it was a sad sad dream

I dreamed I walked away

and the lord he said to me

Child, where you going

child, child, child

I said Lord I'm gone

long, long gone, ...then I realized

Jesus, I love you

Jesus, I really do

Jesus, I love you, Lord, Lord

I really do

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

I know I love you

Jesus

Lord, I really do love you

A man in this world, is no place at all

a man without the lord, is bound to fall

I know without a doubt at all

Jesus is my life

Without the lord, I'm bound to lose

Without your love, I'm paying the dues

The Lord shows mercy on me

And I love him truly

I've Never Been To Heaven 61

One day while driving home

and listening to the radio

I fell asleep and drifted off the road

headed for a concrete pole

Then so suddenly awakened

as I hit a small chug-hole

I said Lord I've never been to heaven

but I just came mighty close

I've never been to heaven

but I once came mighty close

If Jesus hand had not been on me

my life would have been over

But his angels were watching over me

and his hand still leads the way

So Lord please keep your hand on me

For I need you more today

Now through the daily struggle

that life may send our way

We've all encountered situations when

we nearly entered heavens gates

Oh the lesson this could teach us now

just how urgent is the hour

We would all become bold witnesses

to God's awesome saving power

The Steps Of A Good Man Are Ordered By The Lord 62

Some men see the Bible

as a little promise book

And it's sure full of promises

but ya' better take a second look

For seeing is believing

when your face to face with sin

And if there's rebellion in your heart

you'll never have true peace within

The steps of a good man

are ordered by the Lord

And the fruit of his labor

is a flourishing reward

Though he be criticized, false accused,

and mocked among men

The savior walks before him

and his heart is free from sin

God's orders are always given

just to whom they may concern

Concerned enough to walk the walk

or they won't go when he returns

And his orders are not always

the way of least resistance

But when your stepping in the steps of Jesus

You will have his sweet assistance

Come On Home 63

I don't need, any wishing wells

I don't need any time to cry

All I need, is my savior there

walking right by my side

Then at night when I'm troubled

I can sing a lullaby

And when I run to him

I have a quiet place to hide

When the talk of the town, starts to get me down

and it's more than I can bear

All I have to do, is look around

and I find that he is there

Waiting right there patiently

for me to call his name

And when I call on him

his words are still the same

Child, your heart is in my hand

Child, my love for you will never end

Though you may run away and hide

I'll be right by your side

to pick you up, when you are all alone

When your heart is in despair

you will know I'm always there

so child, come on home

When my hope has all gone, with my strength to go on

and I don't know what to do

I call out on him, and he shows me again

his love is always true

And though I often stumble

life's trials may bring me low

I know he'll always have for me

a place that I can go

All Rights Reserved 64

One day I heard Satan whisper

God never hears you pray

He'll never hear or understand

a single word you say

Then I heard God's gentle voice saying

child never fear

And as he turned to Satan

these words I heard so clear

All rights reserved

this child is mine

Nothing can take him

when his hearts in tune with mine

All rights reserved

for me alone

And I'm watching over him

till the day he makes it home

Now as I heard God's words

as he spoke them to Satan

A heavenly peace had settled there

where fear had just been

And I recall I'll never leave you

I'll be with you till the end

And I know that he is keeping me

he's near and he's my friend

Written By: Daniel A. Brown III

January 29, 1986

This song was written because someone I trusted with my life was trying to get me to trust them again, even though they had given me reason not to. Our conversation got pretty intense, and they said to me "All Rights Are Reserved For You". Then they really hurt me. But through it God let me know that he had stamped, sealed, and reserved me unto himself. Glory!

People Need Jesus 65

Friend I know sometimes it's hard to find

any kind of peace of mind

The road is dark, the way is rough

at times you feel like giving up

Although you may not understand

we're still in the palm of his hand

So don't give up, we're at the end

and people need Jesus

People need Jesus

They need to know God loves them

He will understand their hurt

When there seems no way, he'll make it work

People need Jesus

They need to know he's always there

With every burden that we bear

People need Jesus

People can be so blind

through all their searching never find

The peace their heart is seeking for

and yet they keep on reaching more

They have music and movies

they have race-cars and baseball

And no fulfillment is found at all

for people need Jesus

Listen As He Whispers 66

So you've slipped and stumbled

you've fallen once again

And this is not the first time

Satan tricked you into sin

But the Holy Spirit's wooing

he whispers "peace be still"

If you'll listen as he whispers

you will hear I love you still

Listen as he whispers

he's speaking to you now

Though his voice is soft, it's clear to hear

I love you still somehow

And though you've slipped and stumbled

Don't lay there in the mud

Listen as he whispers

for he whispers "child your loved"

Sometimes we get discouraged

it seems the roads to rough

That hill up ahead Lord it's a big one

to climb it's just to tough

But with the Lord's hand guiding

his spirit leads the way

If we'll listen as he whispers

we're safe in his arms to stay
