Saved

I was blinded by the devil,
Born already ruined,
Stone-cold dead
As i stepped out of the womb.
By his grace i have been touched,
By his word i have been healed,
By his hand i've been delivered,
By his spirit i've been sealed.

I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb,
Saved
By the blood of the lamb,
Saved,
Saved,
And i'm so glad.
Yes, i'm so glad,
I'm so glad,
So glad,
I want to thank you, lord,
I just want to thank you, lord,
Thank you, lord.

By his truth i can be upright,
By his strength i do endure,
By his power i've been lifted,
In his love i am secure.
He bought me with a price,
Freed me from the pit,
Full of emptiness and wrath
And the fire that burns in it.

I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb,
Saved
By the blood of the lamb,
Saved,
Saved,
And i'm so glad.
Yes, i'm so glad,
I'm so glad,
So glad,
I want to thank you, lord,
I just want to thank you, lord,
Thank you, lord.

Nobody to rescue me,
Nobody would dare,
I was going down for the last time,
But by his mercy i've been spared.
Not by works,
But by faith in him who called,
For so long i've been hindered,
For so long i've been stalled.

I've been saved
By the blood of the lamb,
Saved
By the blood of the lamb,
Saved,
Saved,
And i'm so glad.
Yes, i'm so glad, i'm so glad,
So glad, i want to thank you, lord,
I just want to thank you, lord,
Thank you, lord.

A satisfied mind
Written by j. h. "red" hayes & jack rhodes

How many times have you heard someone say,
"if i had his money, i could do things my way."
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Once i was winning in fortune and fame;
Everything that i dreamed of to get a start in lifes game.
But suddenly it happened, i lost every dime,
But i'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonesome or a love that's grown cold;
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When life is over, my time has run out,
My friends and my loved ones i'll leave, there's no doubt.
But one thing for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.

Well, i'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And i won't let go, and i can't let go, won't let go
And i can't let go, won't let go, and i can't let go no more.

For me he was chastised, for me he was hated,
For me he was rejected by a world that he created.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,
People are expecting a false peace to come.

Well, i'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And i won't let go, and i can't let go, won't let go
And i can't let go, won't let go, and i can't let go no more.

It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit
Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it
Using all the devices under the sun.
And he never give up 'til the battle's lost or won.

Well, i'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Made before the foundation of the world
And i won't let go, and i can't let go, won't let go
And i can't let go, won't let go, and i can't let go no more.

Well i'm pressing on
Yes, i'm pressing on
Well i'm pressing on
To the higher calling of my lord.

Many try to stop me, shake me up in my mind,
Say, "prove to me that he is lord, show me a sign."
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within,
When what's lost has been found, what's to come has already been?

Well i'm pressing on
Yes, i'm pressing on
Well i'm pressing on
To the higher calling of my lord.

Shake the dust off of your feet, don't look back.
Nothing now can hold you down, nothing that you lack.
Temptation's not an easy thing, adam given the devil reign
Because he sinned i got no choice, it run in my vein.

Well i'm pressing on
Yes, i'm pressing on
Well i'm pressing on
To the higher calling of my lord.

You have given everything to me.
What can i do for you?
You have given me eyes to see.
What can i do for you?

Pulled me out of bondage and you made me renewed inside,
Filled up a hunger that had always been denied,
Opened up a door no man can shut and you opened it up so wide
And you've chosen me to be among the few.
What can i do for you?

You have laid down your life for me.
What can i do for you?
You have explained every mystery.
What can i do for you?

Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly,
He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
Who would deliver him from the death he's bound to die?
Well, you've done it all and there's no more anyone can pretend to do.
What can i do for you?

You have given all there is to give.
What can i do for you?
You have given me life to live.
How can i live for you?

I know all about poison, i know all about fiery darts,
I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,
Whatever pleases you, tell it to my heart.
Well, i don't deserve it but i sure did make it through.
What can i do for you?
