The Call mp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
I don't have to
look hard for a problem
there's always one at hand
I don't go out of
my way to find trouble
it shoots me right where I stand.
But when the
going's going wrong,
His grace will keep me strong
I'll rise and rise
again, with Jesus at the end.
I'm in for the
long ride, I'm here for the haul
I'm safe with my Lord beside.
He'll
catch me when I fall,
and keep me faithful to the Call.
I don't try to
find comfort on TV
by calling numbers on the screen
and no
eyewitness news is ever good news
there's no salvation on that
scene
You can watch the world go wrong,
or you can help to make it
strong
you say, "repent the end is near!"
well I don't believe in
fear
I'm in for the
long ride
I'm here for the haul
I'm safe with my Lord beside.
He'll catch me when I fall,
and keep me faithful to the Call.

Guardian Angel
Blues mp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
Cruisin' round
the world with you know who,
I see what you see and what you do.
I do
my best, sometimes it ain't no use
I'm right beside you when you have to
choose.
I think you
know just what I'm talkin' about;
I'm someone that you can't live
without.
What fix you're in to me is never news--
I got the guardian
angel blues.
I got the
guardian angel blues, I got the guardian angel blues
Protecting trouble
in athletic shoes, I got the guardian angel blues.
I'm not
complaining, Lord, but why must it be
Five billion people, why'd you
choose him for me?
I guess I'll just have to pay my dues,
I got the
guardian angel blues.
When you're not
careful and you're close to sin
and all your sense stops cold, my job
begins.
So listen up, our souls are both on the line;
Keep yours
clean cause it might mean my behind.

Blessing mp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
May the road
rise to meet you everywhere you go
and may strangers always greet you as
someone that they know
May the heavenly hosts watch over every place you
stay
May the Good Lord bless and keep you close to Him along your
way.
May your future
be as crystal, your fortune be as gold
and may the fire of the Spirit
never leave you cold
May your mind be ever mindful, and never want for
more
May your children's children love you and be always at your
door.
I wish you
blessings. I wish you joy and peace
I wish you life and love, I wish you
mercy
and if you make it first to heaven
I wish you would pray for me
I wish you blessings
May the Lord
Himself defend you and keep you from all shame
May your lips be quick to
praise Him and sing "holy is His Name!"
May the workers at the harvest
always reap what you have sown
and because of you may millions come to
worship at His Throne
I wish you
blessings. I wish you joy and peace
I wish you life and love, I wish you
mercy
and if you make it first to heaven
I wish you would pray for me
I wish you blessings.

Praise God mp3

Praise God from
whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him
above ye heavenly host
Praise the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
You say,
"Jesus, I'm tired and failing.
My hope is derailing. I can't take
anymore!"
Hold on! Just a little bit longer, He's making you stronger,
and there's a blessing in store if you just...
Praise God from

Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him

Praise the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
You've been put
down, and you ask the Lord Jesus.
You say,"please help me Jesus! I'm cut
to the core!"
Hold on! And don't you get too demanding, 'cause as sure
as I'm standing,
there's a blessing in store, if you just....
Praise God from
whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him

Praise the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
And while you
carry a cumbersome burden
and your shoulders are hurtin'
and your

Hold on... the more weight that is pressing,
the
bigger the blessing, for those who endure so just...
Praise God from
whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise
Him above ye heavenly host
Praise the One who always gives you the most
Praise the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

All I Can
Do mp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
Nothing I can
do about the end of the world or a war in a far away land.
Nothing I can
do about arms in wrong arms or a handgun in all the wrong hands.
Nothing
I can do about the men on the moon or the people on earth out in space.
All I can do is make the best of my world and thank God I'm here in this
place.
Nothing I can
do about people with not enough sense to come out of the rain,
Or those
who have none whether common or moral inside of their God-given
brain.
Nothing I can do about a world all consumed by a paper with a
president's face.
All I can do is make the best of my life and thank God
I'm here in this place.
It seems just
as easy to help someone rather than hurt them, but I must be wrong.
The
world doesn't turn on the kindness cause ratings show it just don't sell
that strong.
Nothing I can
do about the poison that young people take to make pain go away
I won't
be much help if they don't want the help; it's a choice that they make
everyday. Nothing I can do about the dealers who deal, they just kill those
who slow down their pace.
All I can do is make the best of my world and
thank God I'm here in this place.

Wash My Sins
Awaymp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
It's gonna take
faith,
It's gonna take raw, raw courage
It's gonna be a long, long,
long way
before I reach my Calvary.
It'll take more faith
It's
gonna take a heart like a lion
But I won't give in until my sin is washed
away.
Take my heart,
Lord Jesus Take my heart today
Take my heart, Lord Jesus and wash my
sins away.
I gotta see the
Word,
I gotta read Matt, Mark, Luke and John
I gotta spend time with
Him everyday
before I reach my Calvary.
Lord knows I need His word
to guide me through this crazy world
and as long as I am living I'll
be giving
all the love He's given me.
But He has
risen, I'm forgiven
He has washed my sins away.
I'll be givin' Him
the praise (hallelujah)
Let me hear you say Jesus (Christ the King)
I
give You my life, all my love (it's yours, Lord)
Forever I will
sing.
Take my heart,
Lord Jesus Take my heart today
Take my heart, Lord Jesus and wash my
sins away.

No More Memp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
I can't run
from what I'm feeling
but how much more can I take?
every waking
moment crying, trying, dealing
how many happy faces can one fake?
There's not much hope for the world I can see
I wonder how far it can
get with no more me.
don't tell me
that it's nothing
I only want to have my say
I feel like I am
nothing and
there's not a person on this earth
who cares to look at
things my way
There's not much hope for the world I can see
I wonder
how far it can get with no more me.
Then He spoke
to me just as the blade was descending
He said," there's more for you to
be, before your days will be ending"
It took too long to see, my life my
Lord was defending
I will not take my leave, my will to live slowly
mending...
I won't run
from all my feelings
I won't let the evil seep into my soul
It'll take
some time, but I'm dealing
I know the Lord of Life is in control
And
there's hope for the world I can see
And it's not my time to join the
stars
I don't know if time can heal my scars
but the world won't get
too far with no more me.

Put My Old
Man Down mp3
Words and music by Michael Splain
e ©1994 McHand Publishing BMI
One of these
mornings I'm gonna wake up, Lord,
with a smile on my face like a newborn
child
And when the mornin' comes I'm gonna get it together
and stake
my claim on a mountainside.
I'm gonna put
my old man down
I gotta change the way I feel and let my new man live.
Way back in
time before the flood
a-Noah built an ark to save the world
from its
sin and shame
but the people refused to believe a
nd when the rain
came a-pourin' down
ol' Noah fell on his knees
I can hear him say,
I gotta put my
old man down
I gotta change the way I feel and let my new man
live.
One of these
days, Lord,
you're gonna show to the people
all the wrong they do
and they will be ashamed
and when that day goes down
they're gonna
get it together and
put to rest all their foolish pride.
I gotta put my
old man down
I gotta change the way I feel
and let my new man
live.
Let him live!

Go Into the
World mp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
Go into the
world and proclaim the good news
Go into the world and profess His holy
name
Those who believe His hand will save
for He has risen from the
grave
And the world you know will never be the same.
He never said
it would be easy
He never said it would come free
The road that leads
to Heaven
climbs a hill called Calvary.
Go into the
world and remember what He said
Never forget He has risen from the dead
For the Lord will live in you
only if you ask Him to
Come to
know Him in the breaking of the bread.
Do not give in
to doubt or be deceived
away from the love that He wants us to
receive
Decide to follow the Lord's way
You are born again that day
the Heaven's will rejoice the hour that you believe.
Never said it
would be easy
Never said it would come free
"If you want to get to
heaven
take your cross and follow me."

For His Sake
mp3
Words & music by Joe Hand
For your sake,
I will not be silent
For your sake, I will not lie still
until every
man and woman on the earth
stops to listen for a moment
For your
sake, I will not be silent anymore
For their sake,
I will not be silent
For their sake, I will not go away
'til you
reach to them with all your might
to bring them back home to the Lord of
Love
For their sake, I will not be silent anymore
"Do you love
me? then feed my sheep
Do you love me? then feed my lambs.
Do you
love me?"
Lord you know I love you,
why do you ask again and again
and again?
For His sake I
will not be silent
For His sake, I will not fade away
until I call to
every sheep that's
wandered far from His fold He longs to hold
For
His sake I will not be silent
For Their sake I will not be silent
For
Your sake I will not be silent....
