LIVING WATER JOURNAL

VERSE 1
Life is a ball game being played each day.
Life is a ball game everybody can play.
Jesus standing at the home plate.
He's a waiting for you there.
Life is a ball game,
but you've got to play it fair.

CHORUS
The first base is temptation.
You know the second base is sin.
The third base, tribulation.
If you can pass, you can slide on in!
Old man Solomon is the um- pire
and Satan's pitching the game.
He'll do his best to strike you out
You keep playing just the same!

VERSE 2
You know Daniel's up to bat first,
You know he prayed three times a day.
Satan pitched him a fast ball,
but he hit it any- way.
Yes, you know Job is up to bat next.
Satan struck him in every way,
But Job hit him a home run
and he came on in that day.

VERSE 3
Yes, you know prayer is our strong bat
to hit at Satan's ball.
And when you start to swing it,
you got to give it your all in all.
You know faith's gonna be your catcher
and on him you can depend.
Jesus is standing at the home plate
and he's waiting for you to come in.

VERSE 4
Yes, you know that Moses is on the sidelines
He's Waiting to be called
The day he parted the Red Sea
He knew Christ all in all
And John came in the ninth inning
When the game was almost done
Then God gave John a vision
And he knew we'd already won.

CHORUS

REPEAT VERSE 1

VERSE 1
I'm so glad salvation is free.
I'm so glad salvation is free.
I'm glad salvation is free.
For you and for me
I'm so glad salvation,
salvation is free.

VERSE 2
Can't you see how they done our Lord.
Can't you see how they hung Him on Calva- ry.
They whipped Him all night long
For you and for me
And He never spoke
a mumblin' word.

VERSE 3
And the sun, it refused to shine.
And the blood ran down, down his side.
And the dead, they got up
from their tombs.
And they walked all round
that dark, dark day

VERSE 1
Nobody's fault but mine.
Nobody's fault but mine.
And If I die and my soul be lost,
It ain't nobody's fault but mine.

VERSE 2
Well, My daddy, he took me to church
Yeah, Daddy, he took me to church
And If I die and my soul be lost,
It ain't nobody's fault but mine.

VERSE 5
Sister taught me how to read
Sister taught me how to read
And If I die with my Bible unread.
It ain't nobody's fault but mine.

BRIDGE
Jesus was asked a question one day.
What are the rules we should obey?
You love the Lord with your whole
Body, strength, mind and soul.
Then love your neighbor as yourself.
Beyond these two, there ain't much else.
In light of what Christ had to say,
The Father is asking you today...
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

CHORUS
Somebody gonna wish they had religion.
Somebody gonna wish they knew how to pray
Somebody gonna be sorry that they laughed at me
You better get ready for that day

VERSE 1
I said blessed,
blessed be the land of Beulah,
Blessed land, blessed land of light
Where the flowers bloom forever
And the sun is always bright.

VERSE 2
Brother, you better go down in the valley.
And you fall, fall right on your knees
Pray to the Good Lord in the Heaven,
Save me, Jesus, if you please.

VERSE 1
Mama, take this badge off of me.
I can't use it anymore.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
I feel I'm knockin' on Heaven's door.

CHORUS 4X
Knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's door

VERSE 2
Mama, put my guns in the ground.
I can't shoot them anymore.
A long black cloud, I see it coming down.
Feel like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door.

VERSE 3
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy Cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;

VERSE 4
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne.
Rock of Ages cleft for me;
Let me hide myself in thee;

CHORUS
Tell me, who`s that writing?
John the Revelator
Tell me, who`s that writing,
John the Revelator
Now tell me, who`s that writing,
John the Revelator
Wrote the book of the seven seals

VERSE 1
God walked down in the cool of the day
Called Adam by his name
Adam refused to answer
Cause he`s naked and ashamed

VERSE 2
You know, Christ had 12 apostles
And three He led away
He said "Watch with Me one hour
While I go yonder and pray."

VERSE 3
Christ rose on Easter morning!
Mary and Martha came down to see
He said, `Go tell my disciples
To meet Me in Galilee.
