Verse 1: There's a mansion on the hill They sing about streets of gold Pearly gates, and treasures untold Jesus said He would go "To prepare a place for you" "So where I am, you may be there too" Chorus: Oh, He made it for you He made it just for you Your eternal home, so divine He made it for you He made it just for you And He placed it, right next to mine Verse 2: He said, "When I go, I will come again" "And receive you unto myself" And on that wonderful day He will show the way And we'll spend eternity with Him [Repeat Chorus]

I'm Saved 02:35
Chorus: I'm saved, I'm saved, praise the Lord I'm saved Jesus washed my sins away, this wonderful day He took the burdens from my soul And placed sweet peace within I gave my heart to Jesus, He forgave me all my sins Verse: Many years of livin' in deep darkest night Seeking worldly pleasures Ignoring God's searchlight Lost and so unhappy, no peace, no joy, no love Then my life was changed By His spirit, from above And now... [Repeat Chorus] I'm saved, I'm saved, praise the Lord I'm saved Jesus washed my sins away, this wonderful day He took the burden from my soul And placed sweet peace within I'm on my way to heaven, He forgave me all my sins And now... [Repeat Chorus]

Chorus: Home, home, Jesus I'm home Thank you and praise you I'm home Home, home, Jesus I'm home Merciful savior I'm home Verse 1: Yes, I'll fly into heaven on a love beam from God He prepared it, and showed me the way The gates are wide open, Jesus gives me the nod In a twinkling, I'll just fly away [Repeat Chorus] Verse 2: When this body has done all it can do And my spirit returns to the throne There'll be loved ones waiting, with friends gathered too Arms open, to welcome me home [Repeat Chorus] Verse 3: God's tender mercy saw me through to the end Jesus washed me, whiter than snow Oh, it's wonderful seeing, my savior and friends Through eternity, heaven's my home [Repeat Chorus}

Verse 1: With the bush burnin' brightly, based on God's written word Moses stood on the mountain, it was God's voice he heard Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, and Moses looked down He was standing on holy ground Chorus: And we are... standing on holy ground (like Moses) Standing on holy ground Yes we are... standing on holy ground (sweet Jesus) No matter where your bound When you walk with the Lord, in all that you do You're standing on holy ground Verse 2: Placed in the fiery furnace, burnin' flames all around Shadrach, Meshach, Abednigo, all three stood their ground They would not bow to worship Nebuchadnessar's golden cow They stood with Jesus on holy ground [Repeat Chorus] Verse 3: Now when Jesus was born, one bright star in the night Led three wise men to the birth site They brought gifts for the child And is His presence they found They were standing on holy ground [Repeat Chorus] Verse 4: So many heroes in the Bible are found Some pleased God, some let Him down How grand it would be, when that final trumpet sounds To be standing on holy ground [Repeat Chorus]

Open up your heart, let the Lord come in Accept Him and believe, and healing will begin A sinner He will save, forgiving every sin So open up your heart, and let the Lord come in Jesus is the way, the truth and the life If you have gone astray, then He will make it right Just ask Him to forgive, and fill your soul with love Open up your heart, for blessings from above Just ask Him to forgive, and fill your soul with love Open up your heart, for blessings from above Open up your heart, and let the Lord come in

Chorus: Oh Lord, how I love you Jesus Show me every step each day Lead me ever in your footsteps Praising your name along the way Verse 1: Lord, when I needed you, you were there by my side Helping me all along the way You whispered, I love you and forgive you my child Yes, I know you've gone astray [Repeat Chorus] Verse 2: Grace is for everyone that opens up their heart Everyone who takes the time to pray He paid the price on the cross, believe Him today Heaven is just a prayer away [Repeat Chorus]

He died on the cross for our sins On the 3rd day he rose again He's coming to those who believe And I believe, I believe, I believe I believe in Jesus God’s only begotten son He came to save us To forgive us, everyone To make us whole To make us sure To make us holy before God To make us pure We are His, we are clean We can stand up and praise His holy name Cause I believe in Jesus I believe, I believe, I believe… He walked on the sea of Galilee He caused the blind man to see He suffered to save you and me And I believe, I believe, I believe
