Don’t Be Talkin’ ‘Bout Friends – Platinum Accapella

Lyrics:

Of all the things to do to a friend
You hurt them by your tongue.
Relationships will fatally end
Without a knife or gun.

Waitin’ till you ‘re back behind them,
Then you put them down
How could you be talkin’ ’bout them
When they’re not around?

Chorus:
Don’t be talkin’ ’bout friends when they’re not around
Don’t be cuttin’ their hearts and puttin’ them down.
Don’t be temptin’ the Lord and makin’ Him frown,
Don’t be talkin’ ’bout your friends when they’re not around.

How all the gossip falls on our ears
It doesn’t make much sense,
How we can cause the innocent tears,
Not helping their defense.

Listening, we all should fear it,
Listening is wrong.
If there were no one to hear it
It could not go on.

Repeat Chorus

Too many friendships have been broken
By just a simple, careless word spoken.

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Don’t be talkin’ down, throwin’ down, cuttin’ down friends
Why not treat them more like friends (when they’re not around)?
Don’t be saying lots of things, overlook the hurt it brings
Don’t be talkin’ bout your friends (when they’re not around).

I Can Walk

Lyrics:

I can walk! I can walk!
Since the day that I was born I had been lame.
I can walk! I can walk!
I’ve been healed by the powr’ of His precious holy name.

I can see! I can see!
When the Savior touched my heart He lifted me.
I can see! My eyes can see!
I’ve been changed by His powr’ to be all that I can be.

In the grave. In the grave.
I was bounded by the shackles of the grave.
In the grave, In the grave.
I was dead in sin without his hand to save.

I’m alive! I’m alive!
When He spoke my name from death I came alive
I’m alive! I’m alive!
With His healing hand I know I will survive

I never thought that such a brighter day could ever be.
My eyes were blinded with darkness but right now I can see!
To know that the Father could care for me the way that He does.
The world can’t conceive (though how hard it tries) The way that He loves

Repeat 1st and 2nd verses

Piper Song – Platinum Acappella

From the insert:

“Piper Song was written for Piper Northen, a girl who was desperately in need of a liver transplant. Many people lovingly responded to this urgent need and helped to raise the necessary funding for the expensive, live-saving operation. Consequently, a foundation was established through which other children can be helped as Piper was blessed. You can help by giving to the American Childrens’s Transplant Foundation, 2810 Meadowlark, Ft. Collins, Colorado 80526.”

Lyrics:

I have a daughter who’s five years old,
She’s got a lot of energy.
We have some dreams for her you see.
She’s puttin’ on Momma’s shoes ’cause she wants to be a lady
And that’s just what we want for her to be.

Chorus:
I wanna grow older, I wanna feel the rays of the morning light.
I wanna grow older, I wanna see the shades of the evening light.

Piper’s a girl who’s five years old,
She’s a joy to her family.
They have some dreams for her you see.
She’s puttin’ on Momma’s shoes ’cause she wants to be a lady
And that’s just what we want for her to be.

Repeat Chorus

Why not be part of this prayer too?
You can help Piper’s dream come true

I wanna grow older, I wanna feel the rays of the morning light
I wanna grow older, I wanna feel the light
I wanna grow older

From the albums “Growing up in the Lord” and ” Platinum”.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord
Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord
And he will lift you up
And he will lift you up

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now I’m found
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
Was blind but now I see

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
Bright shining as the sun

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun
Than when we first begun

Repeat Chorus

He will lift you up
He will lift you up

He Leadeth Me – Acapella Platinum

Lyrics:

He, he leads me (He leadeth me)
He, he leads me

He leadeth me, O blessed thought
O words with heavenly comfort fraught
What e’er I do, where e’re I be
Still tis God’s hand that leadeth me

Chorus:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me
By His own hand, He leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
For by His hand He leadeth me

Sometimes ‘mid scenes of deepest gloom
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom
By waters still, o’er troubled sea
Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me

Repeat Chorus

And when my task on earth Is done
When by Thy grace the victory’s won
E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee
Since God through Jordan leadeth me

Repeat Chorus

He leads me, He leads me
By His own hand, He leads me
His faithful follower I would be
For by His hand He leadeth me

He, he leads me (He leadeth me)
He, he leads me
He, he leads me (He leadeth me)
He, he leads me

Growin’ Up in the Lord

From the albums “Growing up in the Lord” and ” Platinum”.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
I’m growin’ up in the Lord.
Oh I’m gettin’ stronger; turnin’ back no longer:
I’m growin’ up in the Lord.
I’m growin’ up in the Lord.

I make mistakes but that’s part of growin’ up.
Part of growin’ up in the Lord.
His understanding is what I need the most,
I am staying close to His word.

Sheltered from harm when I am safe in his arms
And I am learning to do His will.
Hearing his call although I stumble and fall.
I can get up and keep growing still.

Repeat Chorus

Now as I’m growin’ I’m learning what to say,
Learning how to walk in the light.
I’m made aware of the devil every day
Learning how to handle the fight.

Tempted by wrong, He keeps me ready and strong
So I can handle the Tempter’s snare.
Jesus is mine and since he’s there all the time
I am protected within His care

Repeat Chorus (x2)

I’m growin’ up in the, growin’ up in the, I’m growin’ up in the Lord.

Water From The Well – Platinum Acappella

From the albums “Growing Up In The Lord” and “Platinum”.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Give me water from the well that never runs dry
Give me water from the well that gives me hope when I die.
Give me water from the well that never runs dry.
And I will thirst no more.

Living water flowing from above
Through the Spirit of never ending love.
And I’m the first to declare my longing thirst
For the water that comes from above.

Repeat Chorus

Living water leads me to my goal.
Now refreshing and cleansing to my soul.
Truly I’m alive, and I know I can’t survive
Without it, the pure waters flow.

Repeat Chorus

And I will thirst no more

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Share what we’ve got ’cause we’ve all got a lot
Of things to share together
Share what we’ve got ’cause we’ve all got a lot
Of love to last forever

When you are asked to be of service
Not just a mile go with them two
When they are hundgry and are needing special care
Deep in your heart you know exactly what to do

Repeat Chorus

Jesus can now be shown to others
They cannot see until we care
It is not Jesus when we keep it to ourselves
You can be sure it is not love until we share

Since he came into my heart to dwell,
Everybody can tell.

Can’t improve on my destiny (echo)
Spirit’s livin’ inside of me (echo)

Blessed Spirit I am now His home
In His comfort not to be alone.
Here to guide me and to intercede;
He’s providing all I need

Can’t improve on my fam’ly tree (echo)
Spirit’s livin’ inside of me (echo)

Hear his voice peace be still
