Lyrics: Songs That Begin With "W-Z"
-W-
Wayfaring Stranger - J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet
NOTE: The way I play this song is very much like "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, chord-wise.
What I do is start the song in A-minor at the fifth fret, then lower the root note (A) a half step every time, so
that by the end of the line I am playing a D9th chord. Then I do exactly the same thing with the D minor chord,
lowering the "D" note a half step at a time, until I wind up with a G9th chord, then going back to the A minor
for line 3. On the fourth line I add the F Major 7th, then the E7 turnaround chord, then back to A minor.
I also modulate up one tone, starting the second verse in B minor, using the same type chord
progressions, then, for the third verse, I move to D minor, and still keep the same chord progressions.
Instead of ending the song with a "D minor" chord, though, I use a D minor+2 chord. (A very easy chord
to make, just make "Open D" chord, but don't note anything on the little E string, let the open E "ring".)
Sounds much more dramatic, and a little "haunting"in my opinion.

There was darkness all around me, when my Savior found me
But when I told him all my troubles, my joys and he doubled

If it don't watch old Satan, he'll get you in the valley
But he will stay behind you, and he will never find you

We call on Him
Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way
We call on Him when no one else will answer

Yet beauteous fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed their vigils keep

They've gone before me, one by one
I'm only going over Jordan

My body rest, in the old church-yard
I'll love this cross of self denial
And go (winging) singing home to my Lord

He said He'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going to my home

I'm way up on the mountain rejoicing in his care

And hide you from the Saviour's guiding light
Way up on the mountain if you fight the good fight

Chorus: (Twice - fade the second time)
*****************************
Whenever storm clouds gather
We call on Him to light our darkest day
Why must it be that only when we're lonely
And hopes are dim, we call on Him
To count our blessings and thank Him while we may
We ask of Him a reason to go on
When our cup of joy becomes a cup of sorrow
Filled to the brim, we call on Him
To count our blessings and thank Him while we may
Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul
Thank you, Lord, for making me whole,
Thank you, Lord, for giving to me
Thy great salvation, so full and free....
The stars shall applaud Him with thunders of praise.
The sweet light in His eyes shall enhance those awaiting,
and we shall behold Him, face to face.
*****************************
Chorus:
We shall behold Him.
Yes, we shall behold Him,
face to face in all of His glory.
We shall behold Him,
Yes, we shall behold Him,
Face to face, our Savior and Lord.
*****************************
The angels shall sound the shout of His coming,
the sleeping shall rise from their slumbering place.
And those who remain shall be changed in a moment,
and we shall behold Him then face to face.

Chorus:
Well it's all right it's all right long as I've got my Lord beside me well it's all right
Long as I've got his hand to hold long as he's a watchin' to warm my soul
Long as everything's in his control well it's all right

Well to see divided in two Moses and the children walk right through
Through of wall of water on their left and on their right

Then David said it's all right
When the life marked them many challenged them to a fight
Little David said a prayer and then slunk a little stone and done 'em in
And the people say they may embrace the Almighty's might

[ Connie ]
Daniel said it's all right when they threw him in the lion's den that awful night
While the hungry lion's walked about Daniel said Lord please help me out
And the Lord has shut the lion's mouth and he shut it tight
**************************
Chorus:
**************************
I just couldn't stand my sins, so I gave them all away
But I still can't forget it, the memories won't go away
So I say Lord watch my sins, but this is all He'll say
********************************
CHORUS:
What sins, what sins?
That's how far away the east is from the west
What sins, what sins?
They were gone the very minute you confessed
Buried in a sea of forgetfulness
********************************
Hardest thing you'll ever carry, is a load of guilt and shame
You were never meant to bear it, let it go in Jesus name
Our God is slow to anger, quick to forgive our sins
He's put them under His blood, so don't bring them up again
'Cause he'll just say...
********************************
CHORUS:
********************************
And He writes my soul a message He wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills a sinful soul of mine
When God dips His love in my heart
********************************
CHORUS:
Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
Well He made me laugh and He made me cry, He set my (sinful) soul on fire
When God dips His love in my heart
********************************
Well sometimes though the way is dreary, dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to God in prayer, I can always find Him there
To whisper sweet peace to my soul
********************************
CHORUS:
********************************
He walked up every step of Calvary's rugged way
And gave His life completely to bring a better day
My life was steeped in sin but in love He took me in
His blood washed away every stain
********************************
CHORUS:
********************************
TAG:
When God dips His love in my heart
Hallelujah
When God dips His love - His sweet love, in my heart
The disciples met a storm on the boat that night
E G A E
We're going down they cried.
E
But they had forgotten that Jesus said
F#7 B7
"We're going to the other side."
E
The Master arose and spoke to the wind
E G A E
And they saw the storm obey
E B7 E
Jesus said "It's enough" and it went away.
********************************
CHORUS:
A7 (backbeat)
When Jesus speaks peace to my situation
E7 (backbeat)
All my sorrows have to flee
A7 (backbeat)
I know He is aware and He really cares
F#7 (stop backbeat) B7
About all that pertains to me.
E
I've had my share of troubles and trials
A7
Sometimes the going gets rough.
E B7 E
But when Jesus says "It's enough", it'll be enough.
****************************************
The lame man lay by the pool of Bethesda
With no one to help him in.
So when Jesus came along, how could that man know
He'd met life's truest friend.
The Master said "Son, would you be made whole?"
And it wasn't just idle talk
Jesus said "It's enoughj" and he leaped and walked.
********************************
CHORUS:(Twice)
********************************
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Come here to the great unknown
Where no one stands alone
Where no one stands alone
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who Am I
********************************
CHORUS:(Twice)
Who am I that the King would live and die for
Who am I that He would pray "Not my will, Thine, Lord"
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
That to an old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?
********************************
When I'm reminded of His words, "I'll leave you never
If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever
Oh I wonder what I could have done
To deserve God's only Son
To fight my battles until they're won
For who am I?
********************************
CHORUS:(Twice)
********************************
I shall reach when the sun goeth down
When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand
Will there be any stars in my crown
********************************
CHORUS:(Twice)
Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down
When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown
********************************
In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray
Let me watch as a winner of souls
That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day
When His praise like the sea billow rolls
********************************
CHORUS:(Twice)
********************************
O what joy it will be when His face I behold
Living gems at His feet to lay down
It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold
Should there be any stars in my crown
********************************
CHORUS:
********************************
They said I would not last
They said I'd never get away
From all the sin in my past
They said I would not last a day
They said I'd be right back
But here I am still with you Lord
And I wonder where they're at!
**************************
CHORUS:
You and me Jesus
We sure fooled them all
They just thought they knew for sure
That I was gonna fall
I'm sure far from perfect
As you can plainly see
But after all these years, Oh Lord
It's still you and me
**************************
My friends they all did leave me
They hung me out to dry
Sometimes I get so lonesome, Lord
I just hang my head and cry
I guess they thought they'd show me
And I guess they've had their fun
But it really doesn't matter much
'Cause you're still number one
********************************
CHORUS:(Twice)
********************************
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
There's a little light in all of us by God's design
But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
*******************************
How can you ask for truth when you do not truthful live
How can you ask forgiveness when you don't forgive
I don't mean to bring you down or speak to you unkind
But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine
*******************************
CHORUS:
*******************************
How can you ask a child to be honest and true
When he can only judge what's right by what he sees in you
How can you offer vision yet walk around blind
No you can't see a beacon if it's light don't shine
*******************************
CHORUS:
*******************************
May God's love surround you, may you find a brighter day
May He grant you the peace you seek in every way
God's light burns in each life, in yours and mine
And you can be a beacon if you just let it shine
*******************************
You can be a beacon if you let it shine
You can be a beacon if you let it shine
There's a little light in all of us by God's design
And you can be a beacon if you'll just let it shine
(Times Three)
A baby born in a stable, became the light of this world
The shepherds came to see him, and at his feet they did bow
Well, they ought to see that baby from Bethlehem now
For he could raise the dead with just one touch from his hand
But he gave no thanks to a crowd, and so they nailed Jesus down
Well they ought to see that baby from Bethlehem now
***************************
CHORUS:
You ought to see that baby from Bethlehem now
Soon He'll be coming back riding on a cloud
Once wrapped in swaddling clothes - now dressed in a kingly robe
You ought to see that baby from Bethlehem now
***************************
From Bethlehem to Calvary from Calvary to the throne
Jesus came to pay our sin debt, then He went back home
Before His throne in heaven every knee shall bow
For He's no longer that baby from Bethlehem now
***************************
CHORUS:
(Music and Lyrics by Rogers and HammersteinP
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
