He’s All I Need
(Words & Music - Bobbie Shoemake)
When I need a friend
He’s a friend above others
And when I need joy
He sends peace like a river
When I’m in trouble,
His love o’er me flows
When I need anything, yes
He’s all I need
Sometimes life’s sorrows
Darken my day
Tears fall like raindrops
Can’t see my way
Then I call on Jesus
He steps right in
When I need anything, yes
He’s all I need
All that I need
He will my friend be
All that I need
He is my anchor
When trials o’ertake me
Close friends forsake me
One friend is true
When I need anything, yes
He’s all I need
All that I need
He will my friend be
All that I need
He is my anchor
When trials o’ertake me
Close friends forsake me
One friend is true
When I need anything, yes
He’s all I need

His Hand In Mine
(Mosie Lister)
You may ask me how I know my Lord is real
You may doubt the things I say, and doubt the way I feel
But I know He's real today, He'll always be
I can feel His hand in mine and that's enough for me
CHORUS
I will never walk alone, He holds my hand
He will guide each step I take and if I fall
I know He understands
Til the day He tells me why He loved me so
I will walk that lonesome road with His hand in mine
Til the day He tells me why He loved me so
I will walk this lonesome road with His hand in mine

I Just Came To Talk With You Lord
(Dottie Rambo)
I didn't come here to ask You for anything
I just came to talk with you Lord
You've answered a million prayers
That I forgot to thank You for
I just came to talk with You Lord
Maybe tomorrow there'll be trouble and sorrow
And a thousand teardrops may fall
But until I face tomorrows task
I have no special favour to ask
I just came to talk with you Lord
How many times Lord
Have troubles brought me down to my knees
Oh but this time I just came to talk with you Lord
You see I really have no selfish motive in mind
I just came to thank you Lord for all the other times
Maybe tomorrow there'll be troubles and sorrow
And a thousand teardrops may fall
But until I face tomorrows task
I have no special favor to ask
I just came to talk with you Lord
I just came to talk with you Lord

I Found Something
(Doris Akers; Arr. Nanci Shoemake-Holston)
I found something
That has given me new peace
I found something
That has set my mind at ease
I found something
That I know will take me through
When my burdens get heavy
And my heart’s feeling sad
I go to Jesus
And he makes my heart glad
I found something
That I know will take me through
Have you ever been touched
By this Jesus I love so much
Did he touch your weary soul
And has he made your spirit whole
Have you found in him
A deliverer of sin
Then open up your heart
And let him come in
I found something
That I know will take me through

I JUST LEAN ON JESUS
(Words & Music - Bobbie Shoemake)
When I need something to hold onto
When I need a friend that I can talk to
When I’ve gone as far as I can go
When all around is doubt and fear
All hope is gone to just endure
And I don’t know just
Which way to go
I just lean on Jesus
I lean upon the Lord
I just lean on Jesus
He’ll take me through
Anything I go through
So I’ll lean on the Lord
When your night’s so dark
You can’t find your way
No hope is in sight
No light in your day
And you don’t know
Just which way to go
You can trust in Him
He’ll see you through
No road’s too rough
That He can’t walk you through
And no weapon formed against
You will ever stand
So just lean on Jesus
I lean upon the Lord
I just lean on Jesus
He’ll take you through
Anything you go through
So I’ll lean on the Lord
He’ll take me through
Anything I go through
So I’ll lean on the Lord

Worship Medley
(arr. Bobbie Shoemake)
I Will Worship/All Heaven Declares/I Bowed On My Knees and Cried Holy
(Renetha Macklin; Noel & Tricia Richards; Nettie Dudley Washington; Dudley Cantwell)
I will worship, I will worship, I will worship and bow down
Giving glory, giving honor to the Lamb who sits upon the throne
I, I will worship, I will worship, I will worship and bow down
I wanna give, give Him glory, giving honor to the Lamb who sits up on the throne
And forever He will be the Lamb upon the throne
And I'll gladly bend my knee to worship Him alone
Forever He will be the Lamb upon the throne
I'll gladly bend my knee to worship Him alone
And I'll gladly bend my knee to worship Him alone
I dreamed I went to that city so bright and so fair
When I entered the gates I cried Holy
The angels met me there
They carried me from mansion to mansion
And oh the sights I saw but I said I want to see Jesus
The One who died for all
Then I bowed on my knees and cried Holy, cried Holy, cried Holy
I clapped my hands and sang Glory, oh Glory to the Son of God
I thought when I saw my Savior, Oh Glory to God
I just fell right down before Him and I worshiped the name of the Lord
I bowed down and worshiped Jehovah my friend of Calvary
For I wanted to give praise to Jesus for saving a sinner like me
TAG
Oh glory to the Son of God

JESUS MY ROCK
(Words & Music - Bobbie Shoemake)
In the midnight hour, or the brightest day
I call on Him, and He knows the way
Down every road
He’s been that way before
When I’m down, or on the mountain high
I call on Him, and He is nigh
I finally found a friend who really cares
Jesus, what a lovely, lovely name
Jesus, every day he’s the same
He’s a light in the night
To guide my way
A cleft in the rock
For my soul to stay
Jesus my rock
Some believe He was just a man
Who didn’t die, and He never rose again
Who didn’t heal the sick or raise the dead
Good news I bring about a King
Who freely died for all men
And who gladly wears those nail prints
In His hands
Jesus, what a lovely, lovely name
Jesus, every day he’s the same
He’s a light in the night
To guide my way
A cleft in the rock
For my soul to stay
Jesus my rock
Jesus my rock
Jesus my rock

MYSTERY TRACK
The Race
(Words & Music - Bobbie Shoemake)
I started one day to follow Jesus
Not caring for worldly gain
Though sometimes it seemed
that I couldn’t make it
My head hung down in shame
The world around me was
offering its glitter
Trying to dim my view
But I started out and I’m going to finish
This race I have begun
Though rough the road,
though steep the climb
Still I’m going right on
Though the rivers I cross may be so deep
Til it seems all hope is gone
Though the clouds hang low, thunder may roll
Still I’m pressing on
For I started out and I’m gonna finish
This race I have begun
As it is written, surely I’ve found
The strength to carry on
And just when I’ve needed
a friend to guide
I’ve felt his hand holding mine
No river’s too deep,
not a mountain too high
That I can’t overcome
For I’ve started out,
and I’m gonna finish
This race I have begun
Though the clouds hang low, thunder may roll
Still I’m pressing on
For I’ve started out and I’m gonna finish
This race I have begun

The Real Me
(Words & Music - Bobbie Shoemake)
When I come into your presence
You see me Lord
When I open up my spirit
You hear me Lord
Nothing is hidden from you
When I kneel before your throne
Nothing is between us
We’re all alone
It’s not a pretty picture that I bring to you
And I don’t deserve all the love you freely give
But here I am before you
Not much for you to see
But I’ve heard You’re the healer,
Lord, heal me
They say You can make a brand new heart
You can take a life that’s been torn apart
And repair all the brokenness in me
Now maybe I don’t deserve all I ask of You
Please accept my offering
It’s the real me
They say you can make a brand new heart
You can take a life that’s been torn apart
And repair all the brokenness in me
Now maybe I don’t deserve all I ask of you
So please take my offering
Please accept my offering
It’s the real me

IN FRONT OF THE THRONE
(Words & Music - Bobbie Shoemake)
Down here we’re often faced with disappointments
And so many times we are made to weep
But each time God brings new assurance
He makes life’s journey seem so sweet
When we step inside the shining gates of splendor
Where toiling ends and our tears are ever gone
Among that crowd, for you I’ll be watching
So look for me in front of the throne
We’re often tossed about in troubled waters
And at times it seems that we will surely sink
But when we kneel in sweet communion
He shows us His way is so complete
When we step inside the shining gates of splendor
Where toiling ends and our tears are ever gone
Among that crowd, for you I’ll be watching
So look for me in front of the throne
Among that crowd, for you I’ll be watching
So look for me in front of the throne
Just look for me in front of the throne

IS THAT THE LIGHTS OF HOME
(Dottie Rambo)
My soul cries out
Oh Lord How long
Til my toiling ends
And you call me home
Since I caught a glimpse
Of my home in the sky
Nothing in this old world
Keeps me satisfied
Seems I can hear
The angels sing
With their harps of gold
And a thousand strings
Earth holds no charm
When I can hear that song
Sweet Beulah Land
It's my home sweet home
Is that the lights of home I see?
And do I feel a breeze from the crystal sea?
Is that the Lord standing high on Heaven's balcony?
If that's the lights of home
It's a welcome sight to see
Do I feel a breeze from the crystal sea?
Is that the Lord standing high on Heaven's balcony?
If that's the lights of home
It's a welcome sight to see
If that's the lights of home
It's a good sight to see

My Prayer Medley
(My Prayer - Words & Music by Bobbie Shoemake; Daystar - Steve Richardson)
Let me be a light in the darkness
Let me be an anchor in the storm
Let me be a friend to the friendless
And let me still love when no love’s returned
Let me be hope to the hopeless
Let me be healing to the sad
Let me be sunlight in the darkest night
Let me be life in a song
Let me love when no one’s loving
Let me hear when nobody’s listening
Whatever you need, Lord
Wherever you lead me
When you need someone
Let it be me
Let it be me when you need someone to just be You
Faithful and true
Wherever I go, let Your love flow
And when you need someone, use me
Let me love when no one’s loving
Let me hear when nobody’s listening
Whatever you need, Lord
Wherever you lead me
When you need someone
Let it be me
Lead me Lord, I’ll follow
Anywhere you open up the door
Let me know your wisdom
Show me things I’ve never seen before
Lord I want to be a witness
You can take what’s wrong and make it right
Daystar shine down on me
Let your love shine through me in the night
Jesus shine down on me
Let your love shine through in the night
This is my prayer

If Everybody Knew Jesus
(Public Domain, Arr. Bobbie Shoemake)
If every, everybody knew Jesus
What a wonderful world it would be
And if every, everybody knew my Savior
What a wonderful world it would be
Just to know Him is to love Him
Just to know His power so divine
Just to know that He’s the good shepherd
What a wonderful world this would be
If everybody knew Jesus
What a wonderful world this would be
And if every, everybody knew Jesus
What a wonderful world this would be
Just to know Him is to really love Him
And just to know His redeeming power
Just to know that He’s the good shepherd
What a wonderful world this would be
If everybody knew Jesus
What a wonderful, wonderful world this would be
And if everybody knew my Savior
What a wonderful world this would be
And if every, everybody knew my Savior
What a wonderful world this would be

It Won't Be Long
(Words & Music - Bobbie Shoemake)
It won't be long now til we see Jesus
It won't be long until He appears
The lights of glory are shining brighter
And I just feel it won't be long
Since a child I have heard about a man called Jesus
And how that He so loved the world He gave His life for me
And someday soon He'll come again to claim His chosen few
And I just feel it won't be long
The signs of time daily tell of His soon returning
And in my heart I humbly pray Lord help me faithful be
To place my fate within your hands ever trusting in your mercy
Cuz I just feel it won't be long
It won't be long now til we see Jesus
It won't be long until He appears
The lights of glory are shining brighter
And I just feel it won't be long
The lights of glory are shining brighter
And I just feel it won't be long
