LIGHTHOUSE - Lyrics and music by Joel Smoker

V1. The road is rough and rocky,

And it’s hard to find my way.

I need a light to light my footsteps,

Turn my night into day.

CH. Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me, shine on me.

Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me.

Let it shine, Oh let it shine, so I can see.

V2. The pathways are many,

Leading down to the sea.

I need to make the right connection,

If I want to be free.

CH. Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me, shine on me.

Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me.

Let it shine, Oh let it shine, so I can see.

V3. Time is running short,

And there’s much for me to do.

I don’t need no one’s deception,

I need to know what is true.

CH. Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me, shine on me.

Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me.

Let it shine, Oh let it shine, so I can see.

V4. The universe is vast,

And I feel so small.

I need to make sense of the journey,

To make sure I don’t fall.

CH. Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me, shine on me.

Let the light from your lighthouse shine on me.

Let it shine, Oh let it shine, so I can see.

REDEMPTION TRAIN - Lyrics and music by Joel Smoker

CH. I’m gonna ride, ride, ride the Redemption Train,

I’m gonna leave behind all the trouble and pain.

I don’t care what people may say,

It doesn’t matter any-way.

When you riding, riding the Redemption Train.

V1. I climbed on board this train,

One dark and lonely night,

I was reaching, reaching for the light.

I got down on my knees,

And I confessed my sins,

It was just like being born a-gain.

CH. Now I’m riding, riding the Redemption Train,

I’m leaving behind all the trouble and pain.

I don’t care what people may say,

It doesn’t matter any-way.

‘Cause I’m riding, riding the Redemption Train.

V2. If you climb aboard this train,

It ain’t no easy ride,

You’ve got your brothers and sisters riding at your side.

The people on this train,

They’re the people of the book.

To know the mind of God that’s where you must look.

CH. When you’re riding, riding the Redemption Train,

You can leave behind all the trouble and pain.

Don’t worry what people may say,

It doesn’t matter any-way.

When you’re riding, riding the Redemption Train.

V3. The driver on this train,

He’ll forget your past.

He’ll just say, “The first shall be last”.

On this train that’ll take you on,

Up around the bend,

On a ride, a ride that will never end.

CH. So ride, ride, ride the Redemption Train,

Leave behind all the trouble and pain.

Don’t worry what people may say,

It doesn’t matter any-way.

When you riding, riding the Redemption Train.

WASH EACH OTHER’S FEET - Lyrics and music by Joel Smoker (Copyright: Joel Smoker)

V1. The day was long and hot and they’d walked many a mile

Talking to the crowds who’d followed for a while,

When Jesus and his friends made camp for the night,

And found some time to have themselves a meal.

CH. Then he took a bowl of water and began to wash their feet,

He washed them one by one.

Then taking the towel that was wrapped around his waist,

He wiped a way the dirt from their feet.

V2. He came to Simon Peter and Peter said, “Not me”.

Jesus said, “You do not under-stand,

If I cannot wash your feet, you can’t be part of me”.

Simon said, “Lord wash all of me”.

CH. Take your bowl of water, wash my head, my hands, my feet,

Lord wash all of me,

And take that towel you have wrapped around your waist,

And wipe the dirt away from my life.

V3. When he has washed their feet and taken his place,

Jesus said, “Do you know what I have done?

If I your Lord and teacher have washed your feet,

You also should wash each other’s too”.

V4. “A new command I give unto you,

That you love one an-other, as I have loved you.

By this shall all men know that you are my disciples,

If you have love for each other.”

CH. So take a bowl of water and wash each other’s feet,

Wash them one by one.

Then take that towel that you have hanging behind your door,

And wipe the dirt away from your feet.

CH. Yeah take a bowl of water. Wash your head, your hands, your feet,

Wash them one by one.

Then take that towel that you have hanging behind your door,

And wipe away the dirt from your life.

IN EXILE FROM THE KINGDOM - Words and music by Joel Smoker

V1. I’m in exile from the Kingdom; I’m a stranger in the land

These are not my people, I hope you under-stand.

My home is far a-way, up-on another strand.

But this is where I choose to stay, where I make my stand

CH. And I’m standing on the Rock, and not upon the sand.

Though storm clouds gather round, by faith I can with-stand,

Every trial and tribulation, every sorrow in this land,

Cause my name’s written down in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

V2. There’s a call going out, to all the folks a-bout

A call to walk the straight path, the Truth you can-not doubt

For the wages of sin, will surely lead to death

I’m gonna stand with the righteous while I draw breath.

CH. Yeah I’m standing on the Rock, and not upon the sand.

Though storm clouds gather round, by faith I can with-stand,

Every trial and tribulation, every sorrow in this land,

Cause my name’s written down in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

V3. There’s a new day a comin’, and they say it won’t be long,

When the people of the world can sing the same song.

A song of peace and joy, a song of harm-on-y.

If we want that day to dawn, then it’s up to you and me.

CH. So stand on the Rock, and not upon the sand.

Though storm clouds gather round, by faith you can with-stand,

Every trial and tribulation, every sorrow in this land,

If your name’s written down in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

CH. Yeah stand on the Rock, and not upon the sand.

Though storm clouds gather round, by faith you can with-stand,

Every trial and tribulation, every sorrow in this land,

If your name’s written down in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

HEAVEN - Lyrics and music by Joel Smoker

V1. I’ve been told man-y things,

Been told there are angles that fly with wings.

Been told of a place be-yond the sky,

Where I’ll go when I die.

Ch. Heaven, Heaven,

Is it a place on high or somewhere else?

Heaven, Heaven,

Is it where I’ll go when I die?

V2. I’ don’t know but I’ve been told,

The streets of Heaven are paved with gold.

If I get there and it’s not the case,

You’ll know someone lied to my face.

Ch. Heaven, Heaven,

Is it a place on high or somewhere else?

Heaven, Heaven,

Are the streets of Heaven paved with gold?

V3. I’ve been told there’s a place called hell,

A place so bad no tongue can tell.

Where sinners go who don’t con-fess,

Where it is I can only guess.

Ch. Hell, Hell,

Is it a place be-low or somewhere else?

Hell, Hell,

Where it is I can only guess.

V4. When I look in-to my true love’s eyes,

I seem very close to paradise

She pick’s me up when I’m feeling down,

Makes me think I’m Heaven bound.

Ch. Heaven, Heaven,

Is it a place be-low or somewhere else?

Heaven, Heaven,

I’d like to think I’m heaven bound

V5. There’s places I’ve been that seem like hell,

Where people scream and people yell.

There are places I know where I love to go

That seem like Heaven here be-low.

Ch. Heaven, Heaven,

Is it a place on high or somewhere else?

Heaven, Heaven,

Is it a place below or somewhere else?

V6. I’ve been told man-y things,

Been told there are angles that fly with wings.

Been told of a place be-yond the sky,

Where I’ll go when I die.

SING PRAISE TO THE LORD - Words and music by Joel Smoker

V1. We are gathered here together, to sing praise to the Lord.

We are gathered here together, to hear his Holy Word.

Though He may convict of sin and His truth cut like a sword,

We are gathered here together, to worship the Lord.

CH. Sing praise to His name, sing praise to His name.
