On the other side the sun always shines
No minutes, no hour, there's no such thing as time
Where the streets are paved with gold
And you never grow old on the other side
On the other side everybody sings
There's miles and miles of flowers and lots of pretty things
Where the sky's pearly blue and everything looks brand new
On the other side
Well I've never been to heaven
I didn't know what it was like
But God let me have a glimpse
In my dream last night
And I could see you smiling
You were looking right at me
For the first time in a long time
On your face I saw some peace
I knew everything
Was going to be all right
On the other side
On the other side
On the other side, do you ever see me cry?
Do you know how much I miss you?
Wish I could have said goodbye
Just one more I love you
Oh, am I really getting through on the other side?
Well I've never been to heaven
I didn't know what it was like
But God let me have a glimpse
In my dream last night
And I could hear you laughing
You were looking right at me
For the first time in a long time
On your face I saw some peace
I knew everything was going to be all right
No more tears and no more sad good byes
On the other side
On the other side
For the pretty sunsets and each peaceful stream
For every little songbird you send my way to sing
and in my barren desert where nothing else grows
even in the valley you still give me a rose
you still give me a rose
Chorus
Lord, thank you for the roses you've placed in my life
for the old fashioned preacher who carried the light
for peace and contentment in a world so filled with strife
Lord thank you for the roses you've placed in my life
You've Placed in My life.
For the freshness of the morning and the cool of the day
For the place in my memory you washed my sins away
and for your precious holy spirit that I feel down in my soul
and that's worth more to me than any other rose
than any other rose.
From a distance He'd be watching me,
And I guess somehow He knew,
That in my heart I longed to be like Him.
In time the closer we became,
The more it seemed I grew;
I'd fall, He'd pick me up, and I'd try again.
He loves me even when I do
The things I shouldn't do
And when I fail to do the things I should.
I've heard it said that love is blind,
And I guess I know it's true:
He forgets the bad, and remembers all the good.
In my Father's eyes, there's no wrong I've done,
In my Father's eyes, I am the perfect son.
He must see Someone I can't see,
And it makes me want to try
To be like the Son that's in my Father's eyes.
And when this life is over,
My last trial I've gone through,
T'will be worth it all just to hear Him say "Well done."
And maybe then I'll understand
Just what He saw in me,
But I'm sure I'll find that He was blinded by the Son.
In my Father's eyes, there's no wrong I've done,
In my Father's eyes, I am the perfect son.
He must see Someone I can't see,
And it makes me want to try
To be like the Son that's in my Father's eyes.
I've missed out on heartaches this world feels everyday And I've missed out on a broken home that would steal my joy away I've missed out on all the things they said I'd miss out on Oh, but somehow I have a heart of peace while thier good times are gone
Cuz I've been sheltered by his grace Kept in a safe place Protected by the prayers of thse who've always sought his face And in a world of shifting sand I can hold onto their hand For they've guided me in how to run this race And as the years go on I'm sheltered by his grace
Grace can take the sin away that stained a soul for years Grace can keep a life that's pure from sheading bitter tears And the grace that's brought me safe this far will safely lead me home For the truth that they've instilled in me will last when they are gone.
Cuz I've been sheltered by his grace
Kept in a safe place
Protected by the prayers of thse who've always sought his face
And in a world of shifting sand I can hols onto their hand
Chorus I've just started living I found me a brand new life it changed my direction and washed away all my strife I'm a new born believer it's a holy new feeling my loads getting lighter days getting brighter I just started living
Verse 1 If I had hope only in this world below I'd be covered with trouble there'd be no place to go but when I met jesus and I started believing
I got cleansed by his blood filled with his love and I just started living
repeat chorus
Verse 2 Now don't you look at me funny you ol' prophet of doom you see I'm not discouraged and I'm feelin' no gloom cause I have got spirit and it's a holy thrilling I give up on pouting got no time for doubting I just started living
repeat chorus
Tag my loads getting lighter my days getting brighter I just started living
Down in the land of Galilee, Down by the sea thats so deep,
My Lord said Simon if you love me, than go and feed my sheep
(Chorus)
Don't you wanna be a servant for the good God all mighty,
For the good God all mighty, for the good God all mighty,
Don't you wanna be a servant for the good God all mighty,
Don't you wanna go to Heaven when you die.
Don't you wanna be a servant for the good God all mighty,
For the good God all mighty, for the good God all mighty,
Don't you wanna be a servant for the good God all mighty,
Don't you wanna go to Heaven when you die.
Now Jesus was the son of God, He died up on that cruel cross
He died for you and he died for me, That we might not be lost.
