Adult Choir Autumn / Winter 2015
Superstition
Very superstitious, writings on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then we suffer,
Superstition ain't the way.
I can only imagine when that day comes And I find myself standing in the
Son
I can only imagine when all I will do is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine x2
I can only imagine when all I will do is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine
Choir backing lyrics:
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problems, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't want to save me, sad is my song.
Oooh, ahh
When you believe …
Oooh ahh
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past.
Holy is the Lamb, Praise the Great I Am
When you believe …
I Can Only Imagine
I can only imagine what it will be like When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me I can only imagine x2
Surrounded by your glory What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus, Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence, Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah, Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine,
I can only imagine
Worthy is the Lamb, Hallelujah to the great I Am (Repeat)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah! (Repeat)

Coming Soon
Hold On
Hold on, hold on. God will see you through.
God will see you through.
I Smile
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today's a new day, where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it's alright
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I've been here for a while
I smile, smile
It's so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you (repeat)
Lean on Me
1. Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long 'Til I'm gonna need Somebody to lean on
2. Please swallow your pride
If I have faith you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
3. If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load

Angels We Have Heard on High
1. Angels we have on heard high
Sweetly singing ore the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
2. Shepherds why this Jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What that gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly son
3. Come to Bethlehem to see
him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
4. See him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
O Holy Night
O Holy Night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees O hear the angels voices.
O night divine O night when Christ was born
O night divine, O night, O night divine.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
O night divine, O night, O night divine
Christmas Hallelujah
1. I've heard about this baby boy
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
2. A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon
There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
O Come All Ye Faithful
Oh come, all ye faithful Joyful and Triumphant
Come ye, oh come ye, to Bethlehem.
3.The shepherds left their flocks by night
To see this baby wrapped in light
Come and adore him
Born the King of angels
A host of angels led them all to You
It was just as the angels said
You'll find Him in a manger bed
Immanuel and Savior, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Oh come let us adore him x 3
4. A star shown bright up in the east
In the sky last night I saw a star.
To Bethlehem, the wisemen three
Came many miles and journeyed long for You
And to the place at which You were
Their frankincense and gold and myrrh
They gave to You and cried out Hallelujah
Hallelujah
5. I know You came to rescue me
This baby boy would grow to be
A man and one day die for me and you
My sins would drive the nails in You
That rugged cross was my cross, too
Christ the Lord.
I Saw a Star
1. Oh in the sky last night I saw a star x2
It was shining so bright with a heavenly light
2. And in a manger bed I saw a child (oo hallulu)x2
He was shining so bright with a heavenly light
In a manger bed I saw a child
Chorus
Sing hallelujah x2 A tiny child is born
3. I saw the wise men travelling from afar x2
They were shining so bright in the heavenly light
Saw the wise men travelling from afar.
Bridge
Who’s that lying in a manger
Who’s that baby boy?
