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. |
