Put On the New
For the Bible Lesson from November 9-15, 2020 "Mortals and Immortals"
Ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place
Acquaint thyself with Him now, and ye shall be at peace.
The former conversation, was darkened by ignorance
But this chosen generation, can use its members as instruments
Put on the new now, Be catchers of men
Let your nets down, And hope to the end
For the grace given, before the world began
Put on the new now, be born again
By the word of God, and hope to the end
For the grace brought, unto you of revelation!
Put on the new, Put on the new
Ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place
If only as a mustard seed, is your share of faith
Then the mountain will move, the mountain will move
And nothing shall be impossible to you
If you
CHORUS
The old is gone
The new has come
Are you ready to be revealed?
Put on the new
And Thy Sleep Shall Be Sweet
Nov 23–29, 2020 Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced
Fear not, little flock;
for it is your Father's good pleasure
to give you the kingdom
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Peace, be still
Be still and know, that I am God. God is I am. God is. I am.
God is not the author of confusion, but o-of peace,
Whom shall we fear?
The Lord is the strength of life; of whom shall we be afraid?
Acquaint (now) thyself with him, and be at peace
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down,
And thy sleep shall be sweet.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
And thy sleep shall be sweet.
The wind has ceased, there is a great calm
Then are we glad, because we are quiet;
The God of peace be with us all.
CHORUS
…be still

From my prison cell have I been loosed
Walking free, just as He declared to me

Happy are we, our mind in one accord
Standing fast in liberty, wherewith Truth hath made us free

Everyone that loveth, is born of God, everyone that loveth knows
That God is Love. Can we ask Him to be more?
That ye, may be the children, of your Father, up above
Do good to them, that hate you, your enemies, you must love
Love one another! say it again
Love one another, don’t pretend
Love one another, Yes you will
As much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all
Then the Father’s love will be bestowed, children of God shall we be called
Love one another!
Let us not, love in word, neither shall we, love in tongue;
But in deed and in truth, my little children,
Them that curse you shall you bless, Your enemies shall you love
If you love one another
Love one another!
For By One Spirit

For by one Spirit, we are all baptized into,
One body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
Whether we be bond or free;
And have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Thy spirit is good;
It is the Spirit, that beareth witness,
Because the Spirit is truth.
The spirit hath made me,
And the breath of the Almighty, hath given me life.
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit
For by one Spirit, we are all baptized into,
One body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
Whether we be bond or free;
And have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Where Your Treasure Is
For the Bible Lesson from March 14, 2021 “Substance”
In the morning ye shall be filled with bread
and ye shall know that, I am, the Lord your God
And then it came to pass,
the dew lay round the host
And when the dew was gone, behold, A small round thing like frost
when the children of Israel saw
They called it manna, for they wist not what it was
For forty years it rained, this bread
Not one of them was killed
They hungered after righteousness, and their treasures were filled
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be
Where your treasure is, you will be fed
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be
That thee might know that man doth not live just by bread
But by every treasured word, doth man live
Lay up your treasures, not here upon earth
Corrupt shall they become, by rust and by moth
But lay your treasures up
Where no thief comes to steal
And when the dew is gone, behold, thou art healed
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be
Where your treasure is, you will be fed
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be
That thee might know, there isn’t only bread
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be
Where your treasure is, you will be fed
Where your treasure is, there will your heart be
That thee might know that man doth not live just by bread
But by every treasured word, doth man live
Things Not Seen
For the Bible Lesson from March 15–21, 2021 “Matter”
Love not the world, neither things that are in the world.

the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passeth away,
And the world passeth away,
And the world passeth away,
But faith, faith is the substance
Faith is the evidence
Through faith we understand
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,
Faith is the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is the evidence of things not seen.
Things not seen,
Things not seen,
Love not the world
Love not the world
Love not the world, as it passeth away
Have faith, in things not seen
Things not seen
Things not seen

Whatsoever things are pure,
Whatsoever things are lovely,
Whatsoever things are of good report;

Thoughts not of evil, but of peace

No Darkness at All
John Jones and Jan Lehner
For the Bible Lesson from April 4, 2021 “Unreality”
He commanded the light to shine
And it shined in our hearts, the blind were given sight.
The glory of God shone, in the face of Christ.
Enter thy closet, shut thy door,
Pray to thy Father, He shall reward
He will openly show you, a new day star
Let it arise within your heart!
A light that shineth in a dark place,
Until the day dawn, from his face.
Children no longer of the night.
We who sat in darkness saw great light
As it shone from His face,
And in that same hour,
He cured their infirmities and plagues
A light that shineth in a dark place,
Until the day dawn, from his face.
Children no longer of the night.
We who sat in darkness saw great light
Let your light so shine
Let your light so shine
God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
No Man Hath Condemned Thee
For the Bible Lesson. April 11, 2021 “Are Sin, Disease, and Death Real?”
Hath no man condemned thee?
No man, Lord
Hath no man condemned thee?
No man, no man.
This woman was taken in the very act they said
The law commands that she be stoned
What sayest thou,
What sayest thou
Then he stooped down,
And with his finger wrote, on the ground.
What sayest thou
What sayest thou
And then he said the one without sin
Shall cast the very first stone
But convicted by their conscience,
They went out one by one, left him alone
Hath no man condemned thee?
No man, Lord
Hath no man condemned thee?
No man, no man.
There is therefore now no condemnation
To them which walk in Christ, not after flesh
For the law of Spirit hath made us free
From any law of sin or death.
No man hath condemned thee,
No man, Lord,
No man hath condemned thee,
No man.
No man hath condemned thee,
No man
No condemnation
No man.

And giveth life to the sincerely unleavened
I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger;
I am the bread of life: he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

And curing every sickness and disease

I am the bread of life: he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will
But the will of Him that sent me

But now My father giveth you true bread

And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door
upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out
into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside

The wise ones opened their treasures
Gold, frankincense and myrrh proved their love
And though they traveled far through the night
They knew that every perfect gift is from above, like
The bright and morning star
Who shines from Heaven
If ye believeth
In the bright and morning star
They that overcometh
Shall have the power
Of the bright and morning star
The bright and morning star
It shineth from afar
It shines in darkness
But the darkness cannot comprehend it
Shine, for thy light is come
And the glory of love, has risen on thee
From the bright and morning star
They that overcometh
Have the power
Of the bright and morning star
The bright and morning star

EVERLASTING WAY
Bible Lesson: “Probation After Death” from April 26, 2009
(presented to Nashville church)
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man
A foolish, a foolish way
A way which leadeth not to understand
A foolish, a foolish way
Wandering in the congregation of the dead
Corruptible this mortal is
Whose way is not His way
Whose way is not His way
Whose way but seemeth right but is not His way
But if there be any wicked way in us
Thou wilt show us the path of life
Where the footsteps of Truth slip not
We turn not to the left, nor to the right
But in thy everlasting way
An everlasting way,
Death is swallowed up in victory
Everlasting way
Understanding way
Let us walk in His ways
In His ways
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man
A foolish, a foolish way
There is a way which leadeth right up to the Lord
Established , established way
On the path of righteousness is life itself
At His right hand, are pleasures, evermore
When we walk in His ways
When we walk in His ways
Established are we on His everlasting ways
Oh death, where is thy sting?
THEE AND THY SOUL
Bible lesson: “God the Preserver of Man” from June 14, 2009
(presented to Nashville church – also first day of CS Class)
Let your heart, let your heart not be troubled nor fear
Exhort thee to be of good cheer
For there shall be no loss of life here
The Lord, the Lord is thy keeper and shade
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night
For He shall preserve thee and thy soul
The Lord shall preserve thee from evil
From all evil shall thee be preserved
What shall separate us from the love of Christ
Neither famine, nor peril, nor sword
Neither death, nor life, nor angels
For thou compass us about
With songs of deliverance
We remain whole and blameless
The Lord, the Lord is my hiding place
And the very God of peace
Preserves my whole spirit and soul
The Lord shall preserve thee from evil
From all evil shall thee be preserved
What shall separate us from the love of Christ
Neither powers, things present, nor things to come,
For thou compass us about
With songs of deliverance
Sung to the prisoners, who heard them
And suddenly there came a great earthquake,
The foundations of the prison were shaken:
And immediately the doors were all opened,
And every one's bands were loosed.
The Lord, the Lord is thy keeper and shade
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night
For He shall preserve thee and thy soul
Let your heart, let your heart not be troubled nor fear
Exhort thee to be of good cheer
For there shall be no loss of life here
EVERY GOOD GIFT
Bible lesson: “Reality” from March 29, 2009
(first original solo presented to Nashville church)
Behold, a man beholds his natural face in a glass
Behold, a man beholds his natural face in a glass
His eyes behold his vanity
For his eyes have not yet seen
The things which God hath prepared
Behold the darkness hides his natural face in the glass
Behold the darkness covers the Earth, covers the glass
But the Lord shall arise upon thee
And his glory shall be seen
Lift thine eyes, thine eyes, round about and see
From above comes every good gift
Cometh down from the Father of Lights
Turn thine eyes to every good gift
God the Lord has shown us the light
Turn thine eyes away from vanity
To the only true reality
Lift thine eyes, thine eyes, round about and see
An angel in a certain season descends to a pool
The pool is still, untroubled, natural, as a glass
The man beholds his vanity
Thirty-eight years his infirmity
Until Christ, the Truth
Suffers the man to see
From above comes every good gift
Cometh down from the Father of Lights
Turn thine eyes to every good gift
God the Lord has shown us the light
Be ye therefore perfect -- and see
As your father in heaven – and see
Behold, behold, behold reality
From above
TURN AGAIN UNTO THE LORD
Bible lesson: “Everlasting Punishment” from May 3, 2009
(presented to Murfreesboro church)
No one is tempted of God
Tempted of God, no one is tempted of God
He tempteth none, for evil tempt not Him
No one is tempted of God
Tempted of God, no one is tempted of God
He tempteth none, for evil tempt not Him
For evil tempt not Him
But every man is tempted
When he is drawn away of his own desires
And every man is tempted
But by the lord’s mercies
Are we not consumed.
We wrestle with the man until the break of the day
We struggle in the dark to see God face to face
Thy name is no more Jacob, for thou indeed prevail
If you should know thy name it would be surely Israel
We search and try our ways -- and turn again unto the Lord (x2)
For no one is tempted of God
Tempted of God, no one is tempted of God
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation, that bringeth salvation
Hath appeared to all
Hath appeared to all
GREAT ARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD
Bible lesson: “God the Only Cause and Creator” from Dec 7, 2008
(first original solo ever written/presented)(presented to Murfreesboro church)
Great are the works of the Lord
All the things that He hath willed
Great are the works of the Lord
All the things that He hath willed, that He hath willed
Honor and glory to all His works,
His righteousness liveth forever
his wonderful works were made to be remembered
Great are the works of the Lord
All the things that He hath willed
Great are the works of the Lord
All the things that He hath willed, that He hath willed
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour
For thou hast created all things
For thou hast created all things
All things hath he created
Thou sendest forth thy spirit
They are created
The First, the Last
Beside You there is no God
Great are the works of the Lord
All the things that He hath willed
Great are the works of the Lord
All the things that He hath willed, that He hath willed
The First, the Last
Created
Forever
