Christian Song Lyrics
Foot Washing Time
Woodrow Nichols’ Song
Verse 1
When you get down in the valley and you don’t know what to do
You feel this world’s against you but you know that you’ve been true
Put your trust in Jesus safely he will keep you
Get you a pan of water and wash your brother’s feet.
Chorus
Just go down to the old church house and get down on your knees
Get you a pan of water and wash your brother’s feet
It will make you humble, it will make you cry
Before you leave the old church house you will want to testify.
Verse 2
Some people just won’t do it they’ve got so much pride
But what did Jesus tell Peter when he looked him in the eye
Jesus told Peter and he told him from the heart
Peter if I wash thee not with me you’ll have no part.
Chorus
Just go down to the old church house and get down on your knees
Get you a pan of water and wash your brother’s feet
It will make you humble, it will make you cry
Before you leave the old church house you will want to testify.
Verse 3
The Lord told Nicodemus you must be born again
And if you don’t believe it you’ll never enter in
We’ve got to believe Jesus says if we are his sheep
And happy are we if we do it and we wash our brother’s feet.
Chorus
Just go down to the old church house and get down on your knees
Get you a pan of water and wash your brother’s feet
It will make you humble, it will make you cry
Before you leave the old church house you will want to testify.
The Old Ship Of Zion
I was standing on the banks of the river
Looking out over life’s troubled sea
When I saw that ole ship that was sailing
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see.
Its hull was bent and battered
From the storms of life I could see
Waves were rough but that ole ship kept sailing
Is that the ole ship of Zion I see.
At the stern of the ship stood the captain
I could hear as he called out my name
Get on board it’s the ole ship of Zion
It will never pass this way again
As I step on board I’ll be leaving
All my sorrows and heartaches behind
I’ll be safe with Jesus the captain
Sailing out on the ole ship of Zion.
God Leads Us Along
Verse 1
In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,
God leads His dear children along;
Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,
God leads His dear children along.
Chorus:
Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.
Verse 2
Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,
God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,
God leads His dear children along.
Chorus:
Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.
Verse 3
Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,
God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,
God leads His dear children along.
Chorus:
Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.
Verse 4
Away from the mire, and away from the clay,
God leads His dear children along;
Away up in glory, eternity’s day,
God leads His dear children along.
Chorus:
Some through the waters, some through the flood,
Some through the fire, but all through the blood;
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long.
So Much To Thank Him For
Verse 1
When I look around and see the good things He’s done for me
I know I’m unworthy of them all
For His blessings He freely gives, I owe my life to Him
I’ve got so much to thank Him for
Chorus:
We’ll I’ve got so much to thank Him for, so much to praise Him for,
You see, He has been so good to me
And when I think of what He’s done, and where He’s has brought me from
I’ve got so much to thank Him for
Verse 2
Sometimes, while on this Way, I stop to kneel and say,
“Thank you Lord for all you’ve done for me”
And when I reach sweet Heaven’s shore oh please let me kneel once more
Cause I’ve got so much to thank Him for
Chorus:
We’ll I’ve got so much to thank Him for, so much to praise Him for,
You see, He has been so good to me
And when I think of what He’s done, and where He’s has brought me from
I’ve got so much to thank Him for

A country where no twilight shadows deepen,
Unending day where night shall never be.
A city where no storm clouds ever gather,
Now this is just what Heaven means to me.

And join the throng upon the glassy sea?
To greet our loved ones and crown Christ forever,
Oh, this is just what Heaven means to me.

Before whose image other loves all flee.
And when they crown him Lord of all I’ll be there,

And join the throng upon the glassy sea?
To greet our loved ones and crown Christ forever,

And join the throng upon the glassy sea?
To greet our loved ones and crown Christ forever,
Oh, this is just what Heaven means to me.
I WANT TO STROLL OVER HEAVEN WITH YOU
Verse 1
If I survey all the good things that come to me from above
If I count all the blessings from the storehouse of love
I’d simply ask for the favor of him beyond mortal kin
And I’m sure he would grant it again
CHORUS:
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
Verse 2
So many places of beauty we long to see here below
But time and treasures have kept us from making plans as you know
But come the morning of the rapture together together we’ll be
While I stroll over Heaven with you
CHORUS:
I want to stroll over Heaven with you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches are vanished away
Then we’ll enjoy the beauty where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
What a day that will be
Verse 1:
There is coming a day
When no heartache shall come
No more clouds in the sky
No more tears to dim the eye
All is peace forever more
On that happy golden shore
What a day, glorious day that will be.
CHORUS:
What a day that will be
When my Jesus I shall see
And I look upon His face
The One who saved my by His grace
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land
What a day, glorious day that will be.
Verse 2:
There’ll be no sorrow there
No more burdens to bear
No more sickness, no pain
No more parting over there
And forever I will be
With the One who died for me
What a day, glorious day that will be.
CHORUS:
What a day that will be
When my Jesus I shall see
And I look upon His face
The One who saved my by His grace
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land
What a day, glorious day that will be.
