“Traveling on the Spiritual Highway” (Song)



“Traveling on the Spiritual Highway”

As I wander on this road of faith, I stumble and I fall
I travel fast ahead of you and often hit a wall
Please help me Lord to wait on you and to let you lead the way
I’ll reach my destination soon if I trust you Lord and pray

Chorus
Jesus come and pour your love upon my heart today
Flood my soul with all you have this dear Lord is what I pray
Fill me with your Spirit Lord and keep me close to thee
Lay your hand upon my life direct me Lord where I should be

I’m on a Spiritual highway Lord and I’m looking for a sign
To guide me on the road of life to do your will not mine
Sometimes, I take an exit Lord which leads me far away
I get involved in things I shouldn’t lost and led astray

Chorus
Jesus come and pour your love upon my heart today
Flood my soul with all you have this dear Lord is what I pray
Fill me with your Spirit Lord and keep me close to thee
Lay your hand upon my life direct me Lord where I should be
  

I’ve taken many roads in life got lost along the way
Especially when I’m in a rush and I forget to pray
I think it’s time that I slowed down and give you Lord my soul
I’ll let you have my life today take complete control

Chorus
Jesus come and pour your love upon my heart today
Flood my soul with all you have this dear Lord is what I pray
Fill me with your Spirit Lord and keep me close to thee
Lay your hand upon my life direct me Lord where I should be

“Would you take the nails into your hands” (Song)



“Would you take the nails into your hands”

O’ Jesus O’ Jesus you mean the world to me
You came to die on Calvary that I would be set free
God sent His precious Son to earth before it was too late
You came to shed your blood dear lord your love for us so great

Chorus
Would you put yourself upon that cross for all the world to see?
To take the pain for all their sin for all humanity
Would you take the nails into your hands?
A sword thrust in your side
And shed your blood on Calvary where the saviour bled and died


O’ Jesus O’ Jesus you left your Heavenly throne
You came as a stranger Lord and you were all alone
You were born of a virgin Lord and this we know is true
The one and only sacrifice He was sent for me and you

Chorus
Would I put myself upon that cross for all the world to see?
Would I take their pain and all their sin like Jesus did for me?
Would I take the nails into my hands a sword thrust in my side?
And shed my blood on Calvary where my saviour bled and died

(Main chorus)
Would you put yourself upon that cross for all the world to see?
To take the pain for all their sin for all humanity
Would you take the nails into your hands?
A sword thrust in your side
And shed your blood on Calvary where the saviour bled and died

"Tender Mercies" (Song)



"Tender Mercies"




Im a wanderer a transient, trying to find my way
Im going in the wrong direction; Im trying not to stray
You see dear Lord Im feelin lost got off the beatin track
Help me Lord and guide my feet help me Lord come back

Chorus


Tender mercies Tender mercies theyre flowing down to me
I feel your presence in my heart its evident to see
The loving warmth comes from your heart it dwells inside my soul
Take my life and use me Lord Take complete control


The anxious thoughts come through my mind I think theyre here to stay
Ive tried so hard to rid them all it helps me when I pray
The torment dwells to make me feel how low that I can be
Help me Lord please clean my mind please help to set me free

Chorus


Tender mercies Tender mercies theyre flowing down to me
I feel your presence in my heart its evident to see
The loving warmth comes from your heart it dwells inside my soul
Take my life and use me Lord Take complete control

"Sitting under the neon sign" (Song)



“Sitting under the neon sign”
Staying at home was all I had; I always thought that it stunk
So I thought I’d take a hike and leave, and I got really drunk
I was glad to get away from my old man; all he ever did was moan
I said I can’t handle it anymore; I’m going out on my own



I was sitting in the café all alone; wasn’t much of a thrill
I lifted my head and looked across, I saw a beautiful girl
She looked at me and gave a smile, and then a little wave
I was going to head over and talk to her, but I just wasn’t just that brave 

        
 
Chorus
Here I am in the big bright city under the neon sign
It tells me now what life’s about that everything will be just fine
It sends a message to my soul you have to keep pushing on
I’m sitting under the neon sign not knowing what’s going on

I’m sitting under the neon sign trying to snort some coke
Not the kind that you drink, but the one that makes you boke
I’m flyin’ high as a kite, my head’s just a spinnin’ round
I know that I’m not in control I’m gonna’ hit the ground



I thought that smoking, drink and drugs was the way to go
But when I’m finished and all shot up, I feel worse than before
 The neon sign told me so that life was so much fun
But ever since I’ve touched the stuff I’m always on the run

         


Chorus
Here I am in the big bright city under the neon sign
It tells me now what life’s about that everything will be just fine
It sends a message to my soul you have to keep pushing on
I’m sitting under the neon sign not knowing what’s going on

I’m lonely as can be you know, and I’m looking for a friend
I have to find one pretty soon, or I’m going round the bend
My heart you know is heavy and it’s feeling like a stone
I miss my mum and dad you know so I’m just a going home



I think I’ll bust that neon sign for all the bad advice
The things that I’ve been doin’ now, is of my own devise
I’m heading in the wrong direction all I ever do is roam
But I think I’ll call my mum and dad ‘cause I’m just a going home




Chorus
Here I am in the big bright city under the neon sign
It tells me now what life’s about that everything will be just fine
It sends a message to my soul you have to keep pushing on
I’m sitting under the neon sign not knowing what’s going on
I miss my mum and dad you know, so I’m just a going home
