   Words and Music by:
   Lari Goss

   Chorus:

   Shout Brother Shout

   Shout Brother Shout

   And when you get that feeling

   Shout Brother Shout

2. 2. Trying To Get A GlimpseListen

   Words and Music by:
   James Weatherington, Suzanne Jennings
   
   

   "Jim “Big Chief” Weatherington of the legendary Statesmen wrote this song, but Suzanne Jennings, Bill and Gloria Gaither’s daughter, wrote a new bridge.  The Cathedrals recorded the song on our last CD, Faithful, but Bill Gaither told me we didn’t get enough mileage out of it since the group retired shortly after its release.  We brought it back with our Sig Sound touch, and Bill was right…there is a bunch of juice left in this puppy." - (Ernie Haase)

   
   Chorus:
   Standing by the river, Gazing cross the raging tide
   Standing by the river, trying to get a glimpse
   of whats over on the other side, other side.
   
   Verse:
   Standing on the banks of the river
   Looking beyond, looking beyond (The river, Ooh)
   Standing on the banks of the river
   Looking for a home, Looking for a home (To Heaven, Ahh)
   Just to get a glimpse of my Jesus
   And that home up there on high
   Looking for the light of my Savior
   Up in the sky
   
   (Repeat Chorus)
   
   Verse:
   Standing there waiting for the boat man
   Ready to go, ready to go (To heaven , Ooh)
   Standing there waiting for the boatman
   On that shore, On that shore (Of Jordan, Ahh)
   Just to get a glimpse of that city
   And behold my Savior there
   Then I"ll know forever I'll be In my Saviors care.
   
   Bridge:
   Well I was standing on the banks
   When I saw that ol ship take my momma home
   I was standing on the banks when daddy
   Crossed the river and left me all alone
   Now I'm standing on the banks
   Just waiting for my ride to heavens golden shore
   And I'm, trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side
   
   (Repeat Chorus)

3. 3. GodspeedListen

   Words and Music by:
   Joel Lindsey, Sue Smith
   
   

   "We love this song!   We added a number of different languages and I think that really set us apart.  We will always try something new and push our creativity on each project, and this is the one.  The message is universal…let’s love each other like it’s the last time." - (Ernie Haase)

   
   Verse:

   I've been dreaming dreams of a Heavenly place

   Cause this world is not my home

   So I'm traveling light on my journey here

   Making plans for the day I go

   If this is the last time we have down here together

   I promise you I'll see you in forever

    

   Chorus:

   Godspeed

   Bon Voyage

   Until we meet again

   Farewell

   Go with God

   See you soon my friend

   If I go before you do

   Or you're the first to fly

   Godspeed, adios, for now goodbye

    

   Verse:

   There may be some tears when we're saying so long

   But our parting will be sweet

   Cause my heart is sure that the time will come

   I will meet you on golden streets

   So lets make some memories to treasurer for a lifetime

   And love each other like it's the last time...

    

   (Repeat Chorus)

    

   Tag:

   Aloha, arrivederci, sayonara, ciao

   bona suerta, auf wiedersehn for now

   Godspeed, adios, shalom, goodbye

4. 4. Then Came The MorningListen

   Words and Music by:
   Gloria Gaither, William J. Gaither, Chris Christian
   
   

   "Bill Gaither told me that he was going to record this on the Vocal Band if we didn’t record it, and that’s all the incentive I needed.  This Gaither song is indeed timeless.  When we sing it live, it shuts the show down…praise and worship breaks out!  The response is like nothing I’ve ever seen in our concerts." - (Ernie Haase)

   
   

   Verse:

   They all walked away

   Nothing to say

   They just lost their dearest friend

   All that they said

   Now he was dead

   So this was the way it would end

    

   The dreams the had dreamed

   Were not what they seemed

   Now he was dead and gone

   The garden, the jail,

   The hammer, the nail

   How could a night be so long.

    

   Verse:

   The angel the star

   The kings from afar

   The wedding, the water, the wine

   Now it was done, they taken her son

   Wasted before His time

    

   They knew it was true

   They watched him die too

   They heard them call Him just a man

   But deep in her heart

   She knew from the start

   Somehow her son would live again

    

   Chorus:

   Then came the morning

   Night turned into day

   The stone was rolled away

   Hope rose with the dawn

   Then came the morning

   Shadows vanished before the sun

   Death had lost and life had won

   For morning had come

    

   (Morning has broken, like the first morning)

5. 5. Do You Want To Be ForgivenListen

   Words and Music by:
   Rodney Griffin
   
   

   "This will be our first single from the new CD.  It sounds like the old Imperials of the ‘70s and ‘80s.  It’s fun and retro, and we love the message and the feel of the song." - (Ernie Haase)

   
   

   Verse:

   Phillip heard the Spirit saying, "There's a blessing up ahead"

   "Walk this road and I will lead the way"

   He saw the Eunoch reading, but he didn't know what he had read

   Phillip climbed aboard the chariot, He knew just what to say!

    

   Chorus:

   Do you want to be forgiven?

   Do you want to go to heaven?

   Freedom from your sin

   Peace and joy within

   Only life worth living!

   Do you want to live forever?

   In a place where sorrow comes no never

   Come and go with me all the way to Calvary

   If you want to be forgiven!

    

   Verse:

   This notion of new life may be a mystery to you

   "How could a Holy God reach down to me?" You say.

   My friend, I'm here to tell you that the Word of God is true

   Eternal life is waiting, if you'll just believe!

6. 6. This Old PlaceListen

   Words and Music by:
   Dianne Wilkinson
   
   

   "Another show stopper, but of a different kind.  Tender and passionate, this song reminds everyone that this world is not our home, and we should never forget that no matter how many great times we have down here, Heaven holds so much more than “this old place.” " - (Ernie Haase)

   
   

   Verse:

   Cleaning up at this old place, everything inside is gone

   We sold the house to a stranger here, my family's moved on

   The cedar chest, the rocking chair, the old piano too

   They've moved on to another place, so here's what I must do.

    

   Chorus:

   Remember this is not my home, I just lived here for awhile

   A place to live and laugh and love, making memories as a child

   My real home waits on the other side where my treasures lie in store

   I know I'll grieve for this old place...but Heaven holds much more

    

   Verse:

   This old place reminds me of this earthly house of clay

   We'll trade for one that's Glorified when the Lord returns one day

   In our Fathers house above, there's a mansion bright and fair

   And the ones we loved in this old place are waiting for us there.

    

   Chorus:

   Remember this is not our home, we just lived here for awhile

   A place to live and laugh and love making memories as a child

   Our real home waits on the other side where our treasures lie in store

   No need to grieve for this old place...for Heaven holds much more.

7. 7. If This Is What God WantsListen

   Words and Music by:
   Rodney Griffin
   
   

   "Our little bass singer, Tim Duncan, gives this, what I feel, is his best effort yet.  It’s a great message paired with great music.  I may not understand what God wants, but we can always trust and lean on what God says.  God’s got our back!" - (Ernie Haase)

   
   

   Verse:

   God told Abraham to rise, and take his little boy

   To a lonely place they called Moriah's hill

   God said, "There you'll sacrifice your precious pride and joy"

   "But you'll be blessed in ways I cannot tell

   He said, "Lord I trust Your perfectness as You rule from up on high"

   "And though this trial is pressing us, this is how I will reply"

    

   Chorus:

   If this is what God wants

   If this is what God says

   Then who I am to doubt

   Or try to figure out this circumstance?

   If this is what God chose for me

   In all His majesty

   Then surely I can trust and lean

   On what God says

    

   Verse:

   Sometimes the storms we face in life are not what we would chose

   If we have the power to choose them for ourselves

   We would take the easy road thinking there's no way to lose

   But we would miss the blessing of the Father's will

   So we must trust His perfectness as He rules from up on high

   And when those trials are pressing us this is how we should reply

8. 8. Pray For MeListen

   Words and Music by:
   Dianne Wilkinson
   
   

   "This is young Ryan Seaton’s coming out song!  For the last two years, Ryan has been working his way into his new role.  We’ve taken our time with this gifted young man and given him room to grow and gain confidence.  When we first heard this song, Ryan asked to sing it.  I raised my eyebrows, because it did not sound like a song that Ryan, with his laid-back demeanor, could deliver.  Boy, was I wrong!  You will understand when you hear it…Ryan really stepped up to the plate." - (Ernie Haase)

   
   

   Verse:
   Pray for me when I'm lonely; pray for me when I'm blue

   Ask God to send down a blessing

   And I'll do the same when I'm praying for you

   We all need loving care and our names just mentioned in prayer

   When the storms trouble life's raging sea

   Whether it's morning, noon-time or night time, pray for me

    

   Pray for me, that I'll be faithful; pray for me that I'll be true

   Ask God to lead me, ask Him to guide me

   And I'll do the same when I'm praying for you

   We all need lifting up when the road we're walking gets rough

   When only trouble is all we can see

   Yes, in the bad times, good times and sad times, pray for me

    

   Chorus:

   I need the prayers of those I love

   You pray for me, and I'll pray for you

   We have a Heavenly Father above

   Who still hears His children and carries them through

    

   Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong

   Crying the blues or singing a song

   When you're interceeding, remember my plea, Pray for me

9. 9. Goodbye Egypt (Hello Canaan Land)Listen

   Words and Music by:
   Marty Funderburk, Jerry Kelso
   
   

   "This was the first tenor-bass duet I have heard in a very long time.  Tim and I go nose-to-nose on this fun, jazzy tune.  What a great time we have!" - (Ernie Haase)

   
   

   Verse:

   I was born in Egypt's bondage

   I was bound by sin and strife

   I was sure that I would wander

   In the wilderness for all my life

    

   But then I heard God's Spirit say

   This desert's not where you should be

   There's a land that flows with milk and honey

   So pack your bags and follow me (I said..)

    

   Chorus:

   Goodbye Egypt

   I'm leaving and I'm never coming back again

   Goodbye Egypt

   Hello Canaanland

    

   Verse:

   So listen, friend, if you're a prisoner

   Tired of chains that bind your soul

   Believe the Lord will break the fetters

   He wants you to be happy and whole

    

   Just call on Him and He will lead you

   Out of your captivity

   Into that promised land of plenty

   Get up, get going if you want to be free (and say..)

    

   (Repeat Chorus)

    

   Bridge:

   Goodbye old way of living

   Hello loved and forgiven

   Goodbye death and the grave

   Hello heaven thank God I'm saved

10. 10. Forgiven AgainListen

    Words and Music by:
    Gloria Gaither, Benjamin Gaither
    
    

    "Doug steps out on lead on this new song written by Gloria Gaither and her son Benjy, and he sings it with great emotion and passion.  We all need to be reminded that God has forgiven us in full.  When we get down on ourselves, it’s good to know that God does not forgive us as a one time act, but has forgiven us again and again, not because he should, but because forgiveness is what He IS." - (Ernie Haase)

    
    Verse:
    I left my family the love I had known
    Couldn’t believe how calloused I’d grown
    Then I woke up one morning in cold freezing rain
    And I said I’ll go back were I caused so much pain
    
    Chorus:
    Just in sight of the place where the lane meets the road
    The Father was waiting to carry my load
    His big arms were open to draw me to Him
    Forgiven, Forgiven, Forgiven again
    
    Verse:
    If you broken the trust and betrayed your best friend
    If your lost and confused wondering where it will end
    There’s a way you can know that wherever you’ve been
    You can make your way home and be forgiven again
    
    Chorus:
    Just in sight of the place where the path meets the road
    The Father is waiting to carry your load
    His big arms are longing to draw you to Him
    Forgiven, Forgiven, Forgiven again.
