HOUSE OF WORSHIP: SONGS IN SEASON... AND OUT LYRICS
Mary, Did You Know?
Words by Mark Lowry, Music by Buddy Greene
© 1991 Rufus Music/Word Music, LLC
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This child that you delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God
The blind will see, the deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
Is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great, I Am
A Child Was Born
Words & Music by Michael Gleason
© 1983 Sparrow
Silent, deep in the night
Half spent, one mother's child
Was sent, into a world that would know Him not
Dayspring, joy to the world
Would bring, angels and men
Still sing, the world that longed for His light to shine
He was born to bring new life to the sons of men
Even then was the treasure sold
Even then was the treasure sold
He came, making no earthly claim
Suffered the guilt and shame, He never knew
For me and you, still we knew Him not
Surely he bore all our sorrow and despair
This despised and forsaken man
A despised and forsaken man
Silent, deep in the night
Half spent, one mother's child
Was sent, into a world that would know Him not
A child was born, and we knew Him not
Jenny
Words & Music by Marty Goetz

I know a girl named Jenny, as many of you do
To me she is not like any other girl I ever knew
When we met I was beat and broken, yet, somehow, she let me in
Then I plopped myself down in her life, to make sure life could begin
I can remember Jenny, happy bright and free
Things that were threatened from the day that she bumped into me
Jenny and I were married, back in 1984
I knew then I had found a pretty bride, now I know she is so much more
See, Jenny understands
Jenny, she forgives
I’ll never doubt her, and without her, I just don’t know how I would live
I love a girl named Jenny, I have most of my life
The Lord showed He loved me when He gave me Jenny for a wife
Seems from the time I saw her, a story would be told
That God made us for each other, and with each other, we’d grow old
Jenny, she’s my joy
Jenny’s my best friend
We’re tested and tried, and so with my bride, we’ll walk side by side until the end
I know a girl named Jenny, soft as silk, sharp as a knife
And I couldn’t count the many ways that Jenny’s saved my life
Oh I know I owe all to Jesus, He’s the one who made me free
And I believed I would go to heaven, when to Him I bowed my knee
But when I met a girl named Jenny
That’s when heaven came to me
Oh yes, I love a girl named Jenny
And I’m happy she loves me
Over the Rainbow
Words by E.Y. Harburg, Music by Harold Arlen
© 1939 Leo Feist, Inc.
When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around
Heaven opens a glorious lane
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun
Just a step beyond the rain
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I?
Come, O Sabbath Day
Words by Gustav Gottheil - Public Domain
Original Bridge by Marty Goetz
© 2022 Singin' in the Reign Music
Come, O Sabbath day, and bring
Peace and healing on thy wing
And to every troubled breast
Speak of the divine behest
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest
Earthly longings bid retire
Quench the passion's hurtful fire
To the wayward, sin-oppressed
Bring thou thy divine behest
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest
Shabbath shalom, shabbat shalom
May the God of Israel give peace unto your home
Peace unto your home
Wipe from every cheek the tear
Banish care, and silence fear
All things working for the best,
Teach us the divine behest
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest
Thou shalt rest, thou shalt rest
Charity
Words & Music by Kenn Gulliksen
© 1974 Maranatha! Music
Although I speak with tongues of men and of angels
And though I prophesy and understand all
Although I have all faith, so mountains may be removed
And though I feed the poor and give up my life
If I have not charity
If love does not flow from me
I am nothing
Jesus reduce me to love
Love is patient and kind. Love is not envious
Not proud but gentle and meek, seeks not its own way
Love sings when Jesus prevails believes and endures all things
Love hopes and bears every wrong, and love never fails
If I have not charity
If love does not flow from me
I am nothing
Jesus reduce me to love
If I have not charity
If love does not flow from me
I am nothing
Jesus reduce me to love
One season I was a child. I spoke and I thought as a child
But when I turned to a man, such ways put aside
Though now we see through a glass
Yet then we shall see face to face
Though now abide faith and hope, the greatest is love
But if I have not charity
If love does not flow from me
I am nothing
Jesus reduce me to love
If I have not charity
If love does not flow from me
I am nothing
Jesus reduce me to love
Jesus reduce me to love
God Bless America
Words & Music by Irving Berlin
© 1939 Williamson Music Co.
While the storm clouds gather
Far across the sea
Let us swear allegiance
To a land that’s free
Let us all be grateful
For a land so fair
As we raise our voices
In a solemn prayer
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above
From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America
My home, sweet home
God bless America
My home, sweet home
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above
From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America
My home, sweet home
God bless America
My home, sweet home
From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America
My home, sweet home
God bless America
Our home, sweet home
Smile
Words by John Turner & Geoffrey Parsons, Music by Charlie Chaplin
© 1954 Bourne Music Publishers
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
Though there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
If you light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
No More Night
Words & Music by Walter S. Harrah
© 1984 Word Music, LLC
The timeless theme, Earth and Heaven will pass away
It's not a dream, God will make all things new that day
Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and fell
Evil is banished to eternal hell
No more night, no more pain
No more tears, never crying again
And praises to the great, "I am"
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb
See all around, now the nations bow down to sing
The only sound is the praises to Christ, our King
Slowly the names from the book are read
I know the King, so there's no need to dread
No more night, no more pain
No more tears, never crying again
And praises to the great, "I am"
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb
See over there, there's a mansion prepared for me
Where I will live with my Savior eternally
See over there, there's a place He's prepared just for me
Where I will live with my Savior eternally
No more night, no more pain
No more tears, never crying again
And praises to the great, "I am"
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb
Praises to the great, "I am"
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Words & Music by Hugh Martin & Ralph Blaine
© 1943 EMI Feist Catalog Inc.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles, will be miles away
Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
Should the Lord allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
Should the Lord allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Hang a shining star upon the highest bow
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Of Him, Through Him, and To Him (Romans 11)
Words & Music by Marty Goetz
© Singin' in the Reign Music
Oh how deep are the riches, of the wisdom and knowledge of God
And His ways, how unsearchable
And His judgments past finding out
For who has known His mind, who has been His counsel
From whom did He get all these things, they should be repaid
But of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things
Of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things
Oh what love has the Father, that He chose us to become like His son
Now behold, we are His children
Still not knowing just what we shall be
But when He appears, when He comes in glory
When He is revealed we know, we shall be like Him
For of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things
Of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things
To Him be the glory forever and ever
To him be the glory forever
But when He appears, when He comes in glory
When He is revealed we know that we shall be like Him
For of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things
Yes of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things
To Him be the glory forever and ever
To him be the glory forever, forever
Amen
We Will Never Forget (9/11 Tribute)
Words and Music by Marty Goetz and Mitch Glaser
© 2021 Singin’ in the Reign & Lillenas
20 years ago—20 years ago
Planes of terror brought down our gleaming towers
20 years ago
People covered in dust and ash
Cities smothered in smoke
20 years ago—and to this day we know
We will Never forget, We will always remember
Just where we were
When it all changed forever
We will never forget
That day in September
Watching in fear—through those desperate hours
That beautiful morning
Moments before
We knew a world—we know no more
We can never forget
We will never forget
‘Yitgadal, V’yitkadash’
The prayer for mourners we pray
Tears like rivers have washed the earth below
They’re still shed today
Our Messiah—He also wept
For those we loved, those we lost
20 years ago—He knows each name and so
We will Never forget, We will always remember
All the brave heroes who ran to the danger
We will never forget—that day in September
Some cried ‘Let’s Roll’—Others died saving strangers
Many would pay the ultimate price
What can we say of such sacrifice
We can never forget—We will never forget
The dust has cleared—the dawn has broken—raging fires gone at last
From the ash—hope has risen—clothed with steel and glass
A symbol for our children
Of liberty and strength
May each new generation
Look up and say—what we say today
We will Never forget—We will always remember
To hold loved ones near—for we’re not here forever
We will never forget—Every year in September
Freedom is dear—We must cherish it ever
So we have come—to this solemn day
Our hearts as one—We gather to say—We will never forget
We can never forget
Twenty years, now, and yet…
We will never forget
We will never forget!
For Such a Time as This (Esther's Song)
Music and Lyrics by Marty Goetz & Misha Goetz Hoyt
©2020 Singin’ in the Reign Music/Misha Goetz Music ASCAP
(Esther)
Who am I that I should find myself right here, right now?
Who am I to try to save these lives—someway, somehow?
Can it be that you chose me—a girl who no one knew?
So afraid, unsure, not knowing—what to say, what to do—
(Mordecai)
For such a time as this—For such a time as this
Are you our help—are you our hope?
At such a time as this?
Is there before you now—a chance you dare not miss?
Could it be, you have come to the kingdom—
For such a time as this?
(Mordecai) You and I know - you’re the one to go before the king
(Esther) How I fear- that He won’t hear - the message that I bring
(M) I see you there, so young, so scared—
not knowing what will be
(E) If I should go, please tell my people—I’ve one plea—
pray for me
(Esther)
For such a time as this—For such a time as this
Is there a help—Is there a hope—At such a time as this?
Is there before me now—a chance I dare not miss
Could it be—I have come to the kingdom
For such a time as this?
(M) Will you find mercy there?
(E) Or will I perish—who can say?
(M+E) Still at this time we cannot keep silent
We will stand—We will pray!
(M) For such a time as this
(E) (Who am I, How could it be?)
(M) For such a time as this
(E) (That you would choose someone like me)
(M) There is a help
(E) (I’ll go)
(M) There is a hope
(E) (And so)
(M) At such a time as this
(E) (I know I must be strong)
(M) There is before us now
(E) (Now that my purpose I can see)
(M) A chance we dare not miss
(E) (Nothing matters more to me)
(M) Could it be—
(M + E) We have come to the kingdom
For such a time as this?
There is before us now
A chance we dare not miss
Could it be, we have come to the kingdom
For such a time as this?
We have come to the kingdom
For such a time as this!
