Lyrics: Songs That Begin With "T"
-T-
Ten Thousand Angels - Loretta Lynn
He could have called 10,000 angels
That's All - Tennessee Ernie Ford
Some people go to school to try to learn how to teach
That's All That Matters To Me - Isaacs
I believe there are streets of gold but it's all right with me
That Lonesome Valley - Woody Guthrie
(Words and Music by Woody Guthrie - This is the original version)
You gotta walk that lonesome valley,
Some people say that John was a Baptist,
Daniel was a Bible hero,
There's a road that leads to glory
Mamma and daddy loves you dearly,
I'm gonna walk that lonesome valley,
The Book of Life - Hank Williams, Sr
In life's many battles that you will have to fight
When the seals are broken and names are read aloud
All your dreams of heaven will come true on that day
What a happy feelin' to know you're always there
He was born in Bethlehem they say
For them there were no presents
Is this road you're trav'ling dark; deserted or dim,
I can see Him on His throne.
I'm too near to turn back now
Oh praise the Lord I'm heaven bound 2)
****************************************
I was in the crowd the day that Jesus died,
My mind was filled with anger, my heart was filled with shame.
And I cried:

The Holy Hills of Heaven Call Me - Dottie Rambo
The Holy hills of Heaven call me
The Master's Hand - Bill Anderson
It was battered and scarred,
"What am I offered good folks", he cried.
"Three dollars once, three dollars twice, going for three?"
(instrumental bridge)
"A thousand dollars, who'll make it two?
The people cheered
By the touch of the Master's hand.
The Old Gospel Ship - Jimmy Rodgers/Maebelle Carter
Chorus:
(Recorded 5/7/35 New York, NY. This is the only recording the two ever made together.)
The Old Account (Was Settled Long Ago) - Johnny Cash
There was a time on earth when in the books of Heaven
An old account was standing for sins yet unforgiven
My name was at the top, and many things below
But I went unto the keeper, and settled long ago.
************************************************
Chorus:
The Reach of His Hand - Isaacs
Like the prodigal son I went my own way
Lost in the darkness I knelt down to pray
The Ten Commandments - Statlers
While they were traveling in the wilderness on their way to Cana'an
Then one day he looked away and thereby laid a stone
Honor thy father and thy mother and thy shall not kill
(My Completely Unauthorized Changes)
When no one else can understand me
There's a Man in Here - Statlers
(Spoken)What is a miracle? A miracle is a extraordinary event showing evidence of the supernatural work of God.
There's No Other Word For Grace (But Amazing) - Kyle Family
(Key of G)
Red can't describe the beauty of a rose
This world is not my home, I'm just passing through
Too Much To Gain To Lose - Dottie Rambo
Too many miles behind me
Too Unworthy To Come To You - The Crabb Family
Lord I know that I'm not worthy
But I heard that you would listen
And He changed my life forever
Tramp On The Street - Hank Williams, Sr
1. Only a tramp was Lazarus sad fate
2. Jesus, He died on Calvary's tree
If Jesus should come and knock on your door
**********************************************
They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where He prayed;
They led Him thro' the streets in shame.
They spat upon the Savior so pure and free from sin;
They said, "Crucify Him; He's to blame."
**********************************************
CHORUS:
He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.
**********************************************
Upon His precious head they placed a crown of thorns;
They laughed and said, "Behold the King!"
They struck Him and they cursed Him and mocked His holy name
All alone He suffered everything.
**********************************************
CHORUS:
**********************************************
When they nailed Him to the cross, His mother stood nearby,
He said, "Woman, behold thy son!"
He cried, "I thirst for water," but they gave Him none to drink.
Then the sinful work of man was done.
**********************************************
CHORUS:
**********************************************
To the howling mob He yielded; He did not for mercy cry.
The cross of shame He took alone.
And when He cried, "It's finished," He gave Himself to die;
Salvation's wondrous plan was done.
**********************************************
CHORUS:
**********************************************
Some people go to school to try to learn how to preach
But if you preach, after going to school,
Be sure you preach and teach the Golden Rule.
**************************************
Chorus:
And that's all, that's all
You'd better change your way of living
Before the Good Book says "That's all!"
**************************************
A feller I know, in the mind of man
He tried to save all the money he can
But when that undertaker lets him down
Where's he gonna spend that money, down there in the ground.
**************************************
Chorus:
**************************************
Now man came from monkeys, some folks say
But the Good Book, brother, don't tell it that way
If you believe that monkey tale, like some folks do
I'd rather be that monkey than you!
**************************************
Chorus:
**************************************
My little song is finished, my little song is through,
And I didn't necessarily mean the song for you
But if you don't like the way the little song goes
That's a mighty good sign that I've been trampin' on your toes!
**************************************
Chorus:
**************************************
If there's nothing more than worn old gravel roads
And I know a mansion's waiting, but a cabin suits me fine
Just a place where I can rest my heavy load
*******************************************************
Well they say there is a river that flows beneath the throne
And the surface there reflects His Holy face
Oh I'm sure that all those splendors will be so grand to see
But what I long to see the most is Jesus' face
*******************************************************
Chorus:
'Cause that's all that matters to me
To bow my head and thank my Blessed Saviour on my knees
On those big old Hills of Glory in His presence I will be
To know I'm home - that's all that matters to me.
*******************************************************
Oh the lights of that fair city will never fade away
It's a perfect land where night will never come
But all the beauty I'll be holding can't compare to how I'll feel
When I hear my precious Lord say "Well done"
*****************************************************
Chorus
You gotta walk it by yourself,
Nobody here can walk it for you,
You gotta walk it by yourself.
Some folks say he was a Jew,
But your holy scripture tells you
That he was a preacher too.
Was a prophet brave and true,
In a den of hungry lions
Proved what faith can do for you.
Through a valley far away,
Nobody else can walk it for you,
They can only point the way.
Sister does and brother, too,
They may beg you to go with them,
But they cannot go for you.
I'm gonna walk it by myself,
Don't want to nobody to walk it for me,
I'm gonna walk it by myself.
Just stay close to Jesus and journey in His light
And on that judgment morning when all pain has fled
You'll stand in God's kingdom when the Book of Life is read
You'll see many loved ones standin' in the crowd
So brother keep on prayin' and follow where you're led
You'll stand in God's kingdom when the Book of Life is read
When the sky shall open and this earth melts away
Then all God's faithful children will rise up from the dead
United in God's kingdom when the book of life is read
And when our work is over, heaven with Him we'll share
There'll be no pain or sorrow no tears will e'er be shed
We'll stand there in God's kingdom, when the book of life is read
There was a star to light the path to where He lay
Rich or poor they came from far and near
Cause they'd all heard the reason he was Here
******************************
Chorus:
He was the Son God sent to one and all
Put on this earth to hang there on that wall
Born to die so we could live
He had the birthday
We got the gift
******************************
They wrapped Him up with gentle hands
God hoped the world would understand
Eternal life we shall receive
And all that He asked in return
Was that we just believe
******************************
Chorus:
******************************
No way in this world we could repay
The miracle he gave us all that day
Chorus:
******************************
Chorus:
Tag: On our Savior's birthday
We got the gift
Around the Christmas tree
No flashing lights unless you count
The lamp across the street
A fire in a barrel
No chimney and no roof
To most of them Santa Claus
Was the man who made the soup
**********************************
In an alley was a mother
Two children by her side
Trying hard to keep the spark
Of true Christmas alive
She said we may not have some things
That other people do
But Christmas is for everyone
And we're Gods children too
**********************************
CHORUS:
And Jesus loves you
And, oh, so do I
Think about the baby
And the star up in the sky
I don't think Santa's comin'
Cause he don't know where we live
But who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
****************************
Well early Christmas morning
While they were still asleep
I packed a box of food and clothes
And walked back to their street
Imagine my surprise
When I saw presents all around
Blankets, toys and winter coats
Beside them on the ground
And the card I read, though unsigned said
Inside the three of you
The real heart of Christmas
Is still beating strong and true
**********************************
Jesus loves you
And, oh, so do I
Think about the baby
And the star up in the sky
Jesus Christ is coming
'Cause He knows where real faith lives
But who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
**********************************
Who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
Is there hope for tomorrow? Put your trust in Him.
On this glory road I'm trav'ling, many times I strumble on my way;
but praise the Lord I'll soon be leaving
To that land of perfect peace and endless day.
****************************************
Chorus)
I can see the lights of home
(I can see) the lights of home
I can see Him on His throne.
I'm too near to turn back now
praise the Lord I'm heaven bound
When my journey here shall end,
I'll say goodbye to a world of sin.
In that fair land (in that fair land)
I'll take my stand (I'll take my stand),
It's good to be on this road for glory land.
As He hung upon the cross, His mother cried.
I saw the crown of thorns he wore, the stripes upon his back,
The water and the blood ran out, and then the sky turned black.
This man brought only healing; who could bring him pain?
Why does it seem the strong always victimize the weak?
Suddenly I found myself, standing to my feet.
***********************************
Chorus:
"Who nailed him there? This child of peace and mercy?"
"Who nailed him there? Come and face me like a man."
"Who nailed him there?" Then the crowd began to mock me.
I cried "Oh my God, I just don't understand!"
Then I turned and saw the hammer in my hand.
I am just a Roman soldier, an ordinary man.
I love my wife and children, I do the best I can.
How could I have killed him? There must be someone else.
There's got to be an answer. I just can't blame myself.
***********************************
Chorus:
***********************************
"I nailed him there! This child of peace and mercy!"
"I nailed him there! I am the guilty man!"
"I nailed him there, with my sins and my transgressions!"
I cried "O my God, now I understand!'
When I turned and saw the hammer in my hand.
***********************************
(Spoken softly:) "Surely this man was the Son of God!"
*******************************************
To Mansion's bright, across that sea
Where loved ones wait and crowns are given
The hills of home keep calling me
*********************************
Chorus:
This house of flesh is but a prison
Bars of bones hold my Soul
But the doors of flesh
Are gonna burst wide open
When the angels set my spirit free
I'll take my place like the mighty eagles
When the hills of home start calling me
*********************************
I see loved ones over yonder
Tears are gone and hearts are free
And from the throne my savior beckons
And the hills of home keep calling me
*********************************
Chorus:
*********************************
Tag: They keep calling me
the auctioneer thought it hardly worth his while -
to waste much time on the old violin
but he held it up with a smile.
"Who'll start the bidding for me?
A dollar? One dollar? Two, only two?
Two dollars, who'll make it three?"
But no - from the back of the room
A gray-haired man came forward
And gently picked up the bow,
And then wiping the dust from the old violin
and tuning up the loose strings
He played a melody as pure and sweet
As the carolling angels sing.
The music stopped and the auctioneer,
With a voice quiet and low said:
"Now what am I bid for the old vioin"
And he held it up with the bow.
Two thousand - who'll make it three?
Three thousand once, three thousand twice,
And going, and gone" said he.
but some of them cried,
"We don't understand -
What changed it's worth?"
Then someone replied
The touch of a master's hand
****************************************
So many a man his life out of tune
Much like the old violin
But the Master comes
And a change is wrought
By the touch of the Master's hand.
I'm gonna take a trip in that old Gospel Ship
I'm going far beyond the sky
I'm gonna shout and sing
Until Heaven rings
When I'm bidding this world goodbye
**********************************************
I have good news to bring and that is why I sing
All my joys with you I'll share
And when my ship comes in
I'll leave this world again
And go sailing through the air
**********************************************
Chorus:
**********************************************
Oh I can scarcely wait,
I know I'll not be late.
For I'll spend all my time in prayer
And when my ship comes in,
I will leave this world of sin
And go sailing through the air.
**********************************************
Chorus:
**********************************************
If you are ashamed of me, you ought not to be
Yes, you'd better have a care
If too much fault you find, you'll sure be left behind
When I'm sailing through the air
:
Long ago, long ago,
Yes the old account was settled long ago
And the record's clear today
'Cause He washed my sins away.
And the old account was settled long ago.
************************************************
The old account was large, and growing every day
And I was always sinning, and never tried to pray
But when I looked ahead and saw such pain and woe
Well I went unto the Keeper and settled it long ago.
**********************************************
Chorus:
**********************************************
(Can Omit)
When at the judgment bar I stand before my King
And He the book will open, He cannot find a thing
Then will my heart be glad, while tears of joy will flow
Because I had it settled and settled long ago
**********************************************
Chorus:
**********************************************
Now sinner, seek the Lord, repent of all your sins
Cause this He has commanded if you would enter in
And then if you should live a hundred years below
Well you know you got it settled, 'cause you settled it long ago.
**********************************************
Chorus:
**********************************************
And followed the broad road of sin
I didn't see the danger that waited ahead
And I couldn't see where it would end
Would my Father forgive me this time
And with my heart surrendered I reached up to Him
And I felt His hand touching mine
**********************************************
Chorus:
He never left me, I chose to walk alone
But his arms were always open to welcome me back home
No matter how far I wandered away from His plan
I've never been farther than the reach of His hand
I've never been farther than the reach of His hand
**********************************************
*Instrumental break*
And though I couldn't see Him, He was there all along
I found in my weakness that He is made strong
**********************************************
Chorus:
**********************************************
No matter how far you've wandered
Away from His plan
You'll never be farther than the reach of His hand
You'll never be farther than the reach of His hand
there was a need for law and order among the people who were getting more restless every day.
Moses set up the courts and God laid down the law.
*******************************************
Moses led Gods' children
Out to find the promised land
And on the way he'd stop each day and look on every hand
Asked God for help as he could not withstand the task alone
God said write upon this stone these words I'll say to you
And if you all obey my rules I'll see you safely through
God opened every door and then he guided Moses hand
And said Go and tell my children
These are my commands
****************************************
BRIDGE:
Go and climb that mountain Moses
climb that mountain now and pray
Climb that mountain now and tell us what Our lord has had to say
****************************************
Thou shall have no gods before me is my first command
Thou shall not make any graven image by thy hand
Thou shall not take my name in vain if thou would give me peace
Remember thou to keep they sabbath day alone for me
thou shall not commit adultery and thou shall not steal
love they neighbor as thy self and show they neighbor peace
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
**************************************
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
**************************************
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your (gift - my addition) kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
**************************************
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
While he was on earth he performed a lot of miracles.
And he performs a lot of miracles today!
(Optional - My way: And He's still doin' 'em today!)
**************************************
There's a man in here who turns water to wine
and He walks on the water and gives sight to the blind
And He gives back life to the ones that's dead
And He fed four thousand with seven loaves of bread
**************************************
Chorus:
There's a man in here who makes demons flee
Who makes cripples walk
And he's chosen even me
Oh he lives in my heart and I have no fear
I'm a better man
'Cause theres' a man in here
**************************************
Theres a man in here that I'm looking for
Said a man who could find no room at the door
So they lowered him down on a stretcher bed
And Jesus looked at him and said
All your sins are all now gone this day
Pick up your bed and go your way
As he walked through the crowd
They heard him declare
I can tell you all there's a man in here
**************************************
There's a Man in here the disciples cried
When the ship was tossed from side to side
So they woke him up as th3e waves blew high
And said don't you care that we're about to die
And he said peace be still and when the wind had laid
Where's your faith? Why were you so afraid?
When they saw that the sea was smooth and clear
Thank you God that the Mans in here
**************************************
Chorus:
**************************************
Tag: I'm a better man, cause there's a man in here
White can't tell the magic in the air, when it snows.
Marvelous can't quite convey the glory of the King
The only word for grace is amazing.
*******************************
CHORUS:
There's no other word for grace but amazing,
No other explanation will do.
Unmerited favor, a song that I sing,
There's no other word for grace, but amazing.
*******************************
Now our Father, He looked beyond the failures I have made
I've asked and He's forgiven, all those times I disobeyed.
He has healed all the scars of sin I had in me,
And the grace that He bestowed still amazes me.
*******************************
CHORUS:
*******************************
Tag: There's no other word for grace, but amazing.
No, there's no other word for grace, but amazing.
My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue
Angels beckon me, from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world any more.
********************************
Chorus:
Oh, Lord, You know I have no friend like You
If Heaven's not my home, then, Lord, what will I do?
The angels beckon me, from heaven's open door,
And I can't feel at home in this world any more.
********************************
They're all expecting me, that's one thing that i know
My savior pardoned me, and now onward I go,
I know He'll take me through, although I'm weak and low
And I can't feel at home in this world any more.
********************************
Chorus:
********************************
Just up in Glory-Land, we'll live eternally,
The saints on every hand are shouting "Victory"!
Their song of sweetest praise drifts back from Heaven's shore,
And I can't feel at home in this world any more.
********************************
Chorus:
********************************
Too many trails are through
Too many tears help me remember
There's too much to gain to lose..
*****************************
Chorus:
Too many sunsets lie behind the mountain
Too many rivers my feet have walked through
Too many treasures are waiting over yonder
And there's too much to gain to lose..
*****************************
I've crossed the hot burning desert
I was struggling the right road to choose,
But somewhere up ahead there's cool clear water
And defeat is one word I'll never use.
********************************
Chorus:
********************************
TAG:
Oh, Too many treasures are waiting over yonder
And there's too much to gain to lose..
To call upon Your name
All my life I've been a sinner
And for that I am to blame
To a lonely sinner's plea
(I'm) Too unworthy, Lord, to come to you
Would you come down to me?
********************************
Chorus:
I know that there others
Who can offer more than I
and I promise that I'll understand
If for me you have no time
I'll just get down my old Bible
That I'm not worthy, Lord, to read
I'm too unworthy Lord to come to you
But would you come down to me
********************************
I know that I've been reaping
From the seeds that I have sown
And Lord you owe me nothing
We haven't spoken for so long
But if You could send some better seeds
Lord, I'd love to give them a try
I'm too unworthy Lord to come to you
But would you come down to me
********************************
Chorus:
********************************
Just a broken down musician
I play and sing just what I feel
I sing songs about my Saviour
'Cause I know that He is real
When He saved me from my sin
I was too unworthy, Lord, to come to you
So you came down and brought me in.
********************************
I'm still reading my old Bible
That I'm not good enough to read
And I promised you I'd understand
If for me you had no need
I was too unworthy, Lord to come to you
But - thank you Jesus (spoken) -
you came down and took me in.
He who lay down at the rich man's gate
He begged for the crumbs from the rich man to eat
He was only a tramp found dead on the street.
He was some mother's darlin', he was some mother's son
Once he was fair and once he was young
And some mother rocked him, her darlin' to sleep
But they left him to die like a tramp on the street.
He shed His life's blood for you and for me
They pierced His side and then His feet
And they left Him to die like a tramp on the street.
He was Mary's own darlin', he was God's chosen Son
Once He was fair and once He was young
Mary, she rocked Him, her darlin' to sleep
But they left Him to die like a tramp on the street.
For a place to come in, or bread from your store
Would you welcome Him in, or turn Him away
Then the God's would deny you on the Great Judgment Day.
