I'm plantin' a seed, way down deep in the earth
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
Chorus:
Maybe in a week, maybe in a year
My little seedling will appear
Spreadin' out it's branches, sinkin' down it's roots
Bearing lots of healthy fruit.
I'm waterin' my seed, that's way down deep in the earth
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow (chorus)
I'm prayin' for my seed, that's way down deep in the earth
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow
When's it gonna come up? I don't know.
Only the Lord can make it grow (chorus)

God Made You
words by Sandra Methe and Ralph Merrifield
Music by Ralph Merrifield
God made you, God made me
To work together in harmony
Some parts are big, others small
But to the Lord it doesn't matter at all
But to the Lord it doesn't matter at all
We're different colors, different shapes
Different years, models and makes
Different gifts, talents and strengths
But serving the Lord as one,
Building His body in love (yes!)
(repeat to the beginning)
You are precious, you are special
you are wonderful
You're so lovely, so important to me
But more than anything
I want you to know
I love you with all my heart
You are precious, you are special
you are wonderful
You're so lovely, so important to me
As the years go by
may you always remember
I love you with all my heart
More than anything
I want you to know
I love you with all my heart
I Am The Vine
(from John 15)
I am the vine, you are the branches
He who abides in Me and I in him
He it is that bears much fruit
For apart from Me you can do nothing
If you abide in Me and My words abide in you
Ask what you will and it shall be given to you
I am the vine, you are the branches
He who abides in Me and I in him
He it is that bears much fruit
For apart from Me you can do nothing

How
Blessed Is The Man
(a sanctified blues rendition of Psalm 1)
Don't walk with the wicked, don't sit with the
scoffer
Don't stand with the sinner, they've nothin' to offer
How blessed is the man,
how blessed is the man
Who puts his trust in
the Law of the Lord
He is like a tree planted by water
Bears fruit in it's season, it's leaf never withers (chorus)
In all that he does the righteous will prosper
Not so for the wicked, they're headin' for disaster (chorus)
How Beautiful You
Are
(From Song Of Solomon)
I will rejoice in you and be glad, oh so glad
I will delight in your presence, how beautiful you are
With such great excitement my spirit arises
To hear Your sweet voice
I belong to You beloved,
and You are mine
How beautiful you are I just can't get enough
Day after day and moment by moment
I desire more of your love (repeat to beginning)
Faithful Is The
Lord
Two part round
Faithful is the Lord
Faithful is the Lord
More faithful than the rising sun
In the morning, in the morning
Great is Your love
Steadfast Your love
Grateful are we
Your servants, Your servants
God will take care of you,
God will take care of me
God will take care of those we love,
for now and eternity.
How great is the Lord,
worthy of our trust
I love Him so much,
I'll follow Him
for now and eternity (repeat)
He Has Shown
He has shown you what is good
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
to walk humbly with your God
Like a Shepherd He will tend his flock
In His arms He will gather the Lambs
And carry them in His bosom
He shall gently lead those with young
Such great love He has for us
Such great love He has for us
Such great love He has for us
His strength is our joy and rest
Like a Shepherd You will tend Your flock
In Your arms You will gather the Lambs
And carry them in Your bosom
You shall gently lead those with young
Such great love You have for us
Such great love You have for us
Such great love You have for us
Your strength is our joy and rest
Your strength is our joy and rest
In my heart rule as Lord
In my heart do Your good work
Cleanse me from all impurity
In my heart

Not by might nor by power
But by My Spirit says the Lord
Not by might nor by power
But by my Spirit says the Lord
Nothing is impossible with the Word of God
Mighty mountains shall be moved
Vict'ries shall be won !
Not by might nor by power
But by My Spirit says the Lord
Not by might nor by power
But by my Spirit says the Lord
Mighty and awesome,

Gracious, compassionate,

So slow to anger,
abounding in love
You're such a great
and forgiving God
