FILL ME UP AGAIN
         by Carl Evans 1978
    FILL ME UP AGAIN
     FILL ME UP TODAY
    I COMMITTED A SIN
     JUST THE OTHER DAY.
    NOW I WANT YOU TO WASH
     ALL MY SINS AWAY
    FILL ME UP DEAR LORD
     TODAY AND EVERY DAY.

    FILL ME UP AGAIN
     DEAR LORD I PRAY
    FOR WHEN I SIN
     POWER DRAINS AWAY
    FILL ME FULL OF POWER
     AND LIFT ME UP HIGHER
    FOR I DO KNOW
     WHO LOVES ME SO.

    FILL ME UP AGAIN
     AND POUR ME OUT
    JESUS IS THE SPRING
     I'M ONLY THE SPOUT
    SO HEAR ME LORD
     AND ANSWER MY PRAYER
    FILL ME UP DEAR LORD
     AND POUR ME OUT.

    FILL ME UP AGAIN
     AND MAKE ME FREE WITHIN
    FOR I'M A LONELY SHEEP
     WITH NO PLACE TO SLEEP
    WASH THE SIN AWAY
     AND HELP ME TO STAY
    CLOSE BY YOUR SIDE
     EACH AND EVERY DAY.

        INNOCENT
          by Carl Evans 1976
    WHILE I WAS WAITING IN THE COURTROOM ONE DAY,
     I HEARD THE JUDGE TO THE DEFENDANT SAY,
    GUILTY YOU ARE FOR THE CRIME YOU'VE DONE
     ONCE YOU WAS INNOCENT BUT NOW YOU HAVE NONE.

    THEN I REMEMBERED THE LORD SAYING THE SAME
     WHEN ONE DAY IN COURT HE CALLED MY NAME.
    GUILTY YOU ARE FOR THE SIN YOU'VE DONE
     BUT THE ONE WHO HAS FREED YOU IS MY ONLY SON.

    THEN I SANG GLORY WHILE I PASSED THROUGH
      FOR JESUS HAD CARRIED ME ALL THE WAY THROUGH
    AND I WILL CONTINUE TO SING OF HIS GLORY
     WHILE I TRAVEL TELLING THE STORY
    FOR INNOCENT I AM AND FOREVER I'LL BE
     FOR JESUS HAS ENTERED AND SET ME FREE.

        THE GREATEST STAR
        by Carl Evans 1979
    THE GREATEST STAR APPEARED TO THEM
     WHO WERE GATHERED NEAR BETHLEHEM
    AND THERE WAS BORN A CHILD OF WEE
     WHO WOULD FREE BOTH YOU AND ME.

    HIS PARENTS TOOK HIM TO EGYPT FREE
     FOR THE KING WAS AFTER THOSE UNDER THREE
    AND CAME AGAIN TO PALESTINE
     TO GROW IN THE STRENGTH OF THE DIVINE.

    IN HIS CHILDHOOD HE WAS OBEDIENT
     AND IN HIS WORK, HE WAS EXPEDIENT
    WORKING BY HIS FATHER WITH THE WOOD
     AND ALL HIS WORK WAS VERY GOOD.

    THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE HE MADE HIS WAY
     KNOWING BEFORE HIM THERE WAS A DAY
    WHEN NAILED TO A CROSS ON CALVARY
     HE'D LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR YOU AND ME.

    THEN FOLLOWED BY A BORROWED TOMB
     AND THE FEARFUL DISCIPLES IN AN UPPER ROOM
    HE PRESENTED HIS SCARS AS LIVING PROOF
     TO THOSE WHO STILL WERE QUITE ALOOF.

    THEN BY THE LAKE HE ISSUED HIS CALL
     FOR THE DISCIPLES TO SHARE THEIR ALL
    USING THE POWER THEY WOULD RECEIVE
     THAT MORE AND MORE MIGHT BELIEVE.

    THAT POWER CAME AT PENTECOST
     WHEN GOD SPOKE TO THE SAVED AND THE LOST
    YOU'LL BE MY WITNESSES THROUGHOUT THE DAYS
     AND ALL GOD DOES WILL BE PRAISED.
               AND SO IT EVER BE

         A STORY OF THE GOD-CHILD
        by Carl Evans 12/1986
    I HAD NO ROOM THE NIGHT THEY CAME
     BUT I GAVE THEM THE CAVE OUT OF MY SHAME.
    HE CAME TO US FROM HEAVENS' LAND
     TO REVEAL GODS' HOLY WONDERFUL PLAN.

    I WENT TO SEE THIS GLORIOUS BIRTH
     THE NEWS OF IT WOULD REACH THE WHOLE EARTH.
    STANDING THERE WITHIN THE MANGER
     I COULD SEE HE WAS IN NO DANGER.

    LOOKING INTO HIS WONDERFUL FACE
     I THOUGHT ABOUT GODS' AMAZING GRACE.
    HIS EYES WERE FILLED WITH WONDER AND MIRTH
     WHILE EVERYONE MARVELLED AT HIS GODLY BIRTH.

    THE SHEPHERDS WERE GATHERED ON THE HILLS AT NIGHT
     WHEN THE ANGEL SPOKE OF GREAT DELIGHT.
    THE GLORY LIGHT SHONE THROUGH THE DARKEST OF NIGHT
     AS HE TOLD THEM OF THE COMING OF LIGHT.

    HE HAS COME TO US FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
     TO REVEAL TO ALL THE FATHERS LOVE.
    THE ANGEL SAID, "ON THIS HOLY NIGHT
     IN THE CITY IS BORN THE CHILD OF LIGHT."

    HIS NAME IS JESUS, FOR HE WILL SAVE
     HIS FATHER'S PEOPLE FROM THE GRAVE.
    NOW LEAVE YOUR FLOCKS TO GO AND SEE
     THIS WONDERFUL CHILD FROM ETERNITY.

    THE ANGEL WAS BUSY ON THAT HOLY NIGHT
     TELLING OTHERS ABOUT THE LIGHT.
    THIS TOO SHOULD BE OUR STORY
     TELLING OTHERS ABOUT GODS' GLORY.

    FOR ONCE WE WERE LOST AND IN NEED OF A SAVIOR
     NOW THAT WE ARE SAVED, LET US NOT WAVER,
    BUT HOLD TRUE TO OUR HEAVENLY COURSE
     CALLING ON GODS' MIGHTY FORCE.
