Lyrics: Songs That Begin With "S"
-S-
Sheltered in the Arms of God - Dottie Rambo
I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender
Show Me Thy Way, O Lord - Elvis
CHORUS:
When the storms of life are raging
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand By Me - The FULL VERSION
(Note: The version Elvis sang was a sort of composite of several of the verses - this is the original, full, verson.)
When the storms of life are raging, stand by me, (stand by me)
Stand By The River - Dottie Rambo
(Note: This was the last Grammy Award that Dottie won. It was a duet with Dolly Parton. It's a fast, uptempo, "fun" type song.)
*****************************************
Standing Room Only - Loretta Lynn
Standing room only, not even room to kneel and pray
Last night I had an awful dream
People filled each church and churchyard
The earth was burning all around
Standing room only on God's great Judgment Day
Revelation 19:9
When I was just a boy in days of childhood,
They're leading me in paths that I must trod
I have no fear when Jesus walks beside me
For I’m sheltered in the arms of God
*****************************************
CHORUS
So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise
They won't worry me
For I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God
He walks with me
And naught of earth shall harm me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God
*****************************************
Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals
"Come home my child
It's the last mile you must trod"
I’ll fall asleep, and wake in God's new Heaven
Sheltered safe within the arms of God
*****************************************
CHORUS
TAG
Let the cold winds blow, it's so good to know
That I'm sheltered in the Arms of God
Yes, I'm sheltered in the Arms of God
Show me thy way, O Lord
Show me thy way, O Lord
Help me love when I'm hated
Spread joy unabated
Show me thy way, O Lord
******************************
Jesus was more than just a man from Galilee
Christ, the Son of God He died for you and me
They scourged him, they mocked him,
Upon Him they lied
Still Jesus loved them
"Forgive them", he cried
******************************
CHORUS (Twice):
Stand By Me - Elvis
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship out on the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water
Stand by me
Stand by me
When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging, stand by me,
When the storms of life are raging, stand by me,
When the world is tossing me, like a ship upon the sea,
Thou who rulest wind and water, stand by me (stand by me).
*****************************
In the midst of tribulations, stand by me, (stand by me)
In the midst of tribulations, stand by me,
When the hosts of hell assail, And my strength begins to fail,
Thou who never lost a battle, stand by me, (stand by me).
*****************************
In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me, (stand by me)
In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me,
When I do the best I can, and my friends misunderstand
Thou who knowest all about me, stand by me, (stand by me).
*****************************
In the midst of persecution, stand by me, (stand by me)
In the midst of persecution, stand by me,
When my foes in battle array, undertake to stop my way,
Thou who saved Paul and Silas, stand by me, (stand by me).
*****************************
When I'm growing old and feeble, stand by me, (stand by me)
When I'm growing old and feeble, stand by me,
When my life becomes a burden, and I'm nearing chilly Jordan,
O thou "Lily of the Valley", stand by me, (stand by me)
The road's been long, I'm a little bit weary
Lotta miles behind me, but home's a lot nearer
I got one more crossing, it's a long way over
Won't you stand by the river wait for me
*****************************************
CHORUS:
Won't you stand by the river Lord and hold my shivering hand
Cradle me sweet Jesus from the cold dark sinking sand
This is one trip I can't face alone
I'm kinda anxious to get on home
So Stand by the river
Wait for me
*******************************************
You paved the road through the hills and the mountains
In the middle of the desert you gave us a fountain
Now stand by me Jesus
Through the cold deep water
Won't you stand by me Jesus wait for me.
*****************************************
CHORUS:
**************************************
modulate up one key
repeat Chorus twice,
then tag:
Stand by the river
Stand by the river
Stand by the river
Wait for me
Standing room only, on the Judgment Day.
That the end of time had come
The trumpets had been sounded
And life on earth has done
An angel stood one foot on land
The other foot on sea
And as I tried to kneel and pray
A voice said unto me
There's standing room only
It's too late now to pray
There's standing room only
This is the Judgment Day
Just as far as I could see
I heard the pityful cry for mercy
And then I realized it was me
I saw the Saviour did appear
As He split the eastern sky
I saw tears of joy on a Christian's face
And then I heard the sinners cry
And as I tried to touch his hand
With one last feeble plea
I cried again have mercy,
Gave mercy Lord on me
I saw a tear come to his eye,
As he turned my soul away
I didn't know him yesterday,
And he knew me not today
The world went up in smoke
And as the flames engulfed me
Thank God I awoke
Then I got out of bed and got down on my knees
And you should've heard me pray
For in my dream I witnessed
God's great Judgment Day
"And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb ... "
I used to play till evening shadows come.
Then winding down an old familiar pathway,
I heard my mother call at set of sun:
*************************************
Chorus:
Come home, come home, it's supper time,
The shadows lengthen fast.
Come home, come home, it's supper time,
We're going home at last.
*************************************
One day beside her bedside I was kneeling,
And angel wings were winnowing the air.
She heard the call for supper time in heaven,
And I know she's waiting for me there.
*************************************
Chorus:
*************************************
In visions now I see her standing yonder,
And her familiar voice I hear once more.
The banquet table's ready up in heaven,
It's supper time upon the golden shore.
*************************************
Chorus (Twice):
