Psalm
Music by Peter Link
Lyrics by King DavidHow Precious are your thoughts oh God
How great is the sum of them how grand
If I could count them all oh God
They are more in number than the sandWhither shall I go from thy spirit
Or whither shall I flee from thy care
If I ascend up into heaven
You are there
You are there
And if I make my bed with the devil
Behold
You are there
In the halls of heaven
You are there
Watching over meIf I take the wings of the morning
And I dwell
In the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there your left hand shall lead me
And your right shall always hold to me
For you are there
You are there
On the wings of morning
You are there
Always holding meIf I say surely the darkness
Shall cover me
Even the night shall light my way
Yea the darkness cannot hide from thee
But with you the night shines as the day
And I will praise thee
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made
Yes I will praise thee
For I am fearfully and wonderfully madeHow marvelous are thy works oh God
And that my soul knows right wellHow precious are your thoughts oh God
How great is the sum of them how grand
If I could count them all oh God
They are more in number than the sand
They are more in number than the sand
They are more in number than the sand
They are more in number than the sand
They are more in number than the sand
They are more in number than the sandCopyright 2004 Westrax Music Publishing

Revelation
Music by Peter Link
Lyrics by Saint JohnI was in the spirit on the Lord's day
And I heard behind me a great voice
As of a trumpetOh yes and I was in the spirit
On the Lord's day
And I heard behind me a great voice
As of a trumpetSaying I am alpha and omega
The beginning and the end
I am alpha and omega
The beginning and the endAnd I turned to see the voice
That spake unto me
And I saw seven golden candlesticks
And seven heavenly stars
And one like unto the son of man
The son of manAnd his eyes were as a flame of fire
And his eyes were as a flame of fire
And his eyes were as a flame of fire
And his voice was as the sound of many waters
Was as the sound of many waters
Was as the sound of many watersSaying I am he that liveth
And I am he that died
And now behold I am alive forevermore
I am he that liveth
And I am he that died
And now behold I am alive forevermoreWrite the things which thou hast seen
And the things which are
And the things to be hereafter
Write the things which thou hast seen
And the things which are
And the things to be hereafterWrite the things which thou hast seen
(I am he that liveth)
And the things which are
(And I am he that died)
And the things to be hereafter
(And now behold I am alive forevermore)And I saw as it were a sea of glass
Mingled with fire
And I saw the dead
Small and great
Stand before GodAnd the dead were judged
From the book of life
According to their works
Yes the dead were judged
Every man
According to their worksAnd whatsoever was not found written
In the book of life
Was cast into the sea of fire
And whosoever was not found written
In the book of life
Was cast into the sea of fireAnd the devil went down in the sea of fire
Into the sea of glass into the sea of fire
The devil went down in the sea of fire
As the flames rose higher
In the sea of glass
And the flames rose higher
In the sea of fireAnd there was no more sea
And heaven and earth were passed away
And there was no more seaAnd I saw a new heaven and a new earth
And the holy city New Jerusalem
And a great voice out of heaven said
Behold God is with menAnd they shall be His people
And He shall dwell with them
Yes they shall be His people
And He shall dwell with themAnd God shall wipe away all tears
And death shall be no more
Neither shall there be the pain
And sorrow from beforeBehold He shall make all things new
Write these words
For these words are true
These words are trueWrite the things which thou hast seen
And the things which are
And the things that be hereafter
Write the things which thou hast seen
And the things which are
And the things that be hereafterFor I am alpha and omega
The beginning and the end
I am alpha and omega
The beginning and the endAnd he that overcometh
Shall inherit all things
And I will be his God
And he shall be my sonAnd he showed me a pure river
Of the water of life
And I sang hallelu
And he showed me a pure river
Of the water of life
And I sang halleluia
And he showed me a pure river
Of the water of life
And I sang halleluia
Clear as crystal
Coming from the throne of God
Clear as crystal
Coming from the throne of GodAnd he showed me a pure river
Of the water of life
And I sang hallelu
And he showed me a pure river
Of the water of life
And I sang halleluia
And he showed me a pure river
Of the water of life
And I sang halleluia
Clear as crystal
Coming from the throne of God
Clear as crystal
Coming from the throne of GodHalleluia (x9)

The Christ Lives On
Music and lyrics by Peter LinkIf you want his body
Take it down
I can't bear to watch
Hold his head be gentle
Don't let what went on beforeIf you want his body
Take it away
Do the things you do
But close his eyes be gentle
I just can't take anymoreI will not watch
I will not weep
But I'll not ever let him go
For in the way he lived his life
He taught me all I know
Now the man is gone
Yet in me the Christ lives onSo if you want his body
Do what you will
Lay him in his grave
But let me wash his feet first
Then you may take him awayAnd through the darkness of these hours
I must not let my weakness show
For as he lived so then shall I
And that is all I know
Now the man is gone
Yet in me the Christ lives onAnd in the years that lie ahead
The world will learn to love this man
The way He lived
The things He said
The way it all began
Now the body's gone
But through it all
The Christ lives on© Westrax Music Publishing

I Was There
Music and Lyrics by Peter LinkI was there on that morning by the sea
As the sun broke purple through the haze
I was there as they cast their nets in sorrow
And the waters yeilded nothing
As the sky was all ablazeI was there as he stood upon the shoreline
Watching those he loved struggle on
I was there as he whispered 'cross the waters
"cast your nets now on the right side
For the night is surely gone"Yes I was there with the master
In the purple light of dawn
I was there as we all went struggling onI was there
And the catch that day was a billion souls
And it's happening again
He's teaching us to pray
He's teaching us to heal
And then we too can be
Fishers of menI was there when he told them how he loved them
And his words burned a purpose in their hearts
As the fire turned to ashes then he left them
But the gift of god stayed with them
In the inward partsI was there

There Is A Balm In Gilead
Lyrics: Traditional based on Jeremiah 8:22
Additional Lyrics by Peter Link & Clara M. Brooks
Arranged by Peter Link and Margaret Dorn
Background Vocals Written, Arranged and Produced by John Danny MaddenSometimes I feel discouraged
And think my work's in vain
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul againThere is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soulThey came in search of healing
They came in such despair
With lame and halt and withered
With more than life could bearHe healed the leper and the sinner
And he chased the clouds away
He healed the deaf the dumb the blind
Christ's with us here todayThere is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soulThe heav'nly touch of spirit
Has wondrous healing power
To banish your diseases
Be healed this very hourThere is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
To heal the soul
There is a balm in GileadHe raised the dead he freed us
He holds us in his care
He is the balm of Gilead
Yet Christ is everywhereThere is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
