ABIDE IN ME (John 15) Copyright ©2004 by Dale Mayer All Rights Reserved Chorus If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, You’ll ask what you will, it will be done for you.

Apart from Me, you can do nothing;… You must abide in the Truth. Chorus If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, You’ll ask what you will, it will be done for you. Herein is my Father glorified, That you should bear much fruit.

Chorus If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, You’ll ask what you will, it will be done for you. Herein is my Father glorified, That you should bear much fruit. Verse 3 Now I have called you my friends… and you obey My command, To love one another as I have loved you… and laid down my life for your sins. But I have not left you alone;… Your heart has become my new home. Because I live,… you also shall live;… My Father has made you His own. Chorus 2 So you abide in me, and I abide in you, And you ask what you will and it is done for you.

2.	You Are There 05:26	lyrics
You Are There Copyright ©2004 by Dale Mayer All Rights Reserved Verse 1 The sun is shining brightly today. It warms the earth. It lights our way; It’s radiance is evident to see. It shines on you. It shines on me. But there’s a place inside of me where even it can’t shine; The coldness of my heart and the darkness of my mind. Yet, there is a greater Light to penetrate my soul; The Light Of The World will make me whole. Chorus 1 Je-sus, You are the light I need. In Your pre-sence the darkness leaves. Shine Your light now into my heart; Ev-en in-to the darkest part. Bridge 1 When the night closes in… In this world filled with sin, You are there when I call You,… at the sound of Your Name You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there. Chorus 2 Je-sus, You are the light we need. In Your pre-sence the darkness leaves. Shine Your light now into our hearts; Ev-en in-to the darkest parts. Bridge 2 When the night closes in… In this world filled with sin, You are there when we call You,… at the sound of Your Name You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there,… You are there. Verse 2 The Son is shining brightly today. He warms our hearts. He lights our way; His radiance is evident to see. He shines in you. He shines in me. There’s no place in this whole world where Jesus light can’t shine; He’ll warm the coldest heart and he’ll heal the darkest mind. The brilliance of His countenance will melt the hardest soul; Jesus, Light Of The World, You make us whole… Jesus, Light Of The World, make us whole.
3.	You're Valuable To Me 05:42	lyrics
YOU'RE VALUABLE TO ME Copyright ©2004 by Dale Mayer, All Rights Reserved Verse 1 I look at all the messes that I’ve made; And consider all the bad seed that I’ve laid. I’m a hopeless disaster, Lord, it’s clear to see… that I’m worthless,… please, just let me be. Verse 2 I tried so hard to live my life for You, But I’ve done so many things I didn’t want to do. How could You ever forgive me, Lord? It’s impossible for me to see; I’m so worthless, Jesus,… just go away from me. Chorus My son, I know you feel that way; But there’s just one thing I want to say… You’re worth every drop of blood I paid for you; And there’s nothing else I’d rather do Than spend every night and day with you. You’re valuable to Me. And even if you’d been the only one To ever put his faith in My dear Son, There’s nothing different that I would have done. You’re valuable to Me. Verse 3 But Lord,I still struggle everyday; And so often I still go my own way. I’m just the same old mess inside, Lord, surely You can see… that I’m still worthless, don’t waste Your time on me. Chorus My son, I know it may seem that way; But listen now to what I say… You’re worth every drop of blood I paid for you; And there’s nothing else I’d rather do Than spend every night and day with you. You’re valuable to Me. And even if you’d been the only one To ever put his faith in Jesus, My Son, There’s nothing different that I would have done. You’re valuable to Me. You’re not worthless, child,… you’re valuable to Me.
4.	Free Indeed! 04:19	lyrics
FREE INDEED! Copyright ©2004 by Dale Mayer All Rights Reserved Verse 1 If the Son shall make you free, you are free indeed; Sin has lost its hold on you. The Lord Himself will see you through; So when it rears its ugly head, just say what Jesus said, The Son has made me free and I’m free indeed. The children of this world are slaves in the devil’s game; If they could only see their lives full of guilt and shame. And so we used to be, ‘til Jesus set us free; Though we once were blind, yet now we see… that If the Son shall make you free, you are free indeed; Sin has lost its hold on you. The Lord Himself will see you through; So when it rears its ugly head, just say what Jesus said, The Son has made me free and I’m free indeed. Chorus Hallelujah, to God be all the glory; Hallelujah, for great things He has done. Hallelu - jah, we’ll sing redemption’s story; Hallelu - jah, He’s given us His Son. Though we should all be dead, Jesus died instead; Now, the Son has made us free and we’re free indeed. Verse 2 The children of this world live in fear of their final fate; If they would only turn to the Lord before it’s too late. And so we used to be, ‘til Jesus set us free; Though we once were blind, yet now we see… that If the Son shall make you free, you are free indeed; Death has lost it’s victory, now we have life eternally; The sting of death is sin, but we’ve been born again. The Son has made us free and we’re free indeed. Repeat Chorus Fin Though we should all be dead, Jesus died instead; Now, the Son has made us free,… the Son has made us free,… Yes, the Son has made us free and we’re free indeed.

THE SHEPHERD'S SONG Copyright ©2004 by Dale J. Mayer, All Rights Reserved “They made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child” Lk2:17 NKJV Verse 1 I’m a simple man,... only a shepherd; And there’s a god in heaven,... at least that’s what I’ve heard. I lead a simple life,... a wife and children; They look to me… for their every need. I watch over my sheep. They are safe in my keep. But who’s watching me?… I really don’t see. What’s it all about? Where am I going? I’m still in the dark when I should be knowing. I look up and stare. Is anyone there? Or doesn’t he care? Why’s there so much pain, heartache and sorrow? How can I go on? I can’t face tomorrow. I turn to the sky. I want to know why. Do you hear my cry? Then the angel said... Chorus Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. You don’t have to be afraid anymore. For unto you is born this day in the city of the king, A Savior, Christ the Lord. Refrain Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Again, I say… Rejoice! The God you’ve only heard about has come to you today... Jesus, Christ the Lord! Verse 2 He’s a simple man,... now He’s my shepherd; Sent from God in heaven,... His Word to be heard. He gives my life… purpose and meaning; In Him I see… everything that I need. Now I’m one of His sheep and I’m safe in His keep… He’s watching me. I just want you to see... What it’s all about. But, where are you going? You’re still in the dark when you could be knowing. Don’t give up in despair. God really is there. And He really does care. You have so much pain, heartache and sorrow. You just can’t go on. You can’t face tomorrow. Let me show you the way. You can trust Him today. Please hear what I say… The angel said... Repeat Chorus Repeat Refrain 2x And you shall call His name Emmanuel… God is with us.

WHAT WILL YOU DO TODAY? Copyright ©2004 by Dale J. Mayer, All Rights Reserved Chorus Choose ye this day, tell me whom will you serve? As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. It doesn’t matter where you have been, What you have done, the size of your sin. God doesn’t look at your ability, that’s not important at all. What matters to Him is your availability; When will you answer His call? The past is behind you, the future ahead; but, what will you do today? As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Now I say… Repeat Chorus Verse 2 I was frozen by a future of problems and trials; I couldn’t see past my fears. Then I sat at the feet of the Prince of all Peace, And let His words sink into my ears... Sink into my ears… Bridge The past is behind me, the future ahead; The past is behind me, the future ahead; The past is behind me, the future ahead; But… what will I do today? Repeat Chorus Fin As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. We will serve the Lord.
