Songs:
Come let us worship the Lord
Hide behind that old mountain
It’s good to know Jesus
Twelve gates to the city
Walk in Jerusalem
Way down on the inside
Leaning on the everlasting arms
You got to move
By and by
The Lord will make a way
Running for my life
The Lord is blessing me right now
Give me the strength to do thy will
He’s an on time God
I shall not be moved
Gospel ship/Jesus will fix it/You can’t make me doubt him
Wade in the water
Pass me not, oh gentle savior
No hiding place
The old songs of Zion
Amen
