What the world needs to hear
Copyright Joe Beeler, 2014

  
Why must you sing about blood?  You know that’s not what people want to hear.
Why not just sing about love?  Don’t confuse the point.  Keep the issue clear.
Yes, Jesus is love - The greatest love this world will ever know.
But without the blood, there’d be no way for that love to flow
to you and me to cover up the sin that keeps us from being free
and walking in the cool evening with our God.
 
Why must you sing about the cross? An open mind is what the church needs today.
Why tell people they’re lost when you know it only drives them away.
But without the cross they’ll never know that a Savior came and died
to pay the cost for all the sin that we have inside
that weights us down like a ball and chain that we all have to drag around
instead of walking in the cool evening with our God.
 
The blood, the blood, the blood is what the world needs to hear.
The cross, the cross, the cross is what the world needs to hear.
Jesus, Jesus - what the world needs to hear.



Thanksgiving
Copyright Joe Beeler, 2014

 
Forty years we wondered in the desert of our sins.
Promised land was waiting but we would not enter in.
Complaints and accusations are all we offered God.
We got manna from the sky and water from the Rock.
 
And oh what love God has shared with each of us when we didn’t even care.
And oh what Grace we have seen. We thank you Lord. We fall down on our knees.
 
Long before He made us God knew each of us by name. 
Knew every time we’d hurt Him, but He loves us just the same.
A love enough to come to earth and pay every debt we owe,
Seal us in His perfection; call us children of His own.
 
And oh what love God has shared with each of us when we didn’t even care.
And oh what Grace we have seen. We thank you Lord. We fall down on our knees.
 
For far too long we wondered in the desert of our sin,
With Jesus gently calling, but we would not answer Him,
But to tell Him we don’t need Him and please kindly go away.
If He gave us what we wanted where would we be today?
 
And oh what love God has shared with each of us when we didn’t even care.
And oh what Grace we have seen. We thank you Lord. We fall down on our knees.



Starlight, Star bright

On a dark and quiet field overlooking Bethlehem
Shepherds tend to their flock unaware of what’s at hand.
Then angels came to them and with Hosannas sing
Praises to Christ the Lord our Savior new born King.
 
Said follow the…
Starlight star bright to the one who make all things right.
No more darkness, now there is light.
Starlight, star bright, starlight, star bright.
 
Jesus was fully man and He was fully God.
On the streets of Galilee and heaven both he trod.
Made all there ever was and all they’ll ever be.
Then he came and died for the sins of you and me.
 
Starlight star bright.  For our sins He gave His life.
That kind of love how can you deny.
Starlight, star bright, starlight, star bright.
 
So don’t ever let them tell you that Jesus was just a man.
He is the God of heaven, the son, the great I AM.
 
On a dark and desperate hill called the place of skull and bones
There we nailed Him to a cross where He bore our sins alone.
Every sin there ever was and all they’ll ever be
For those who take His gift for those who do believe.
 
He’s our…
Starlight star bright.  In our love He does delight.
Knows we’re weak so He seals us tight.
Starlight, star bright, starlight, star bright.
 
Starlight
Star bright



The cross by the road

Get right with God the cross by the road proclaimed.
Get right with God ‘fore you meet Him at the judgment day.
Get right with God - the cross by the road is true.
Get right with God or you’ll get what your due.
 
Man is born a slave to sin so the Bible says. 
And we prove it ever day by the way we live.
With our deeds and in our thoughts we reject God’s way.
Demanding instead what we want and having our say.
 
Get right with God the cross by the road proclaimed.
Get right with God ‘fore you meet Him at the judgment day.
Get right with God - the cross by the road is true.
Get right with God or you’ll get what your due.
 
Henry Mayes was born to die like every mortal man,
but by the grace of Jesus Christ he was born again.
He loved the Lord with all his heart and with his two hands.
Put signs along the roadside all across this land.
 
Get right with God the cross by the road proclaimed.
Get right with God ‘fore you meet Him at the judgment day.
Get right with God - the cross by the road is true.
Get right with God or you’ll get what your due.
 
Based upon the way live no one can complain
if hell awaits us after death.  We’re the ones to blame.
We hide our sin from everyone, but God, He knows our ways.
Jesus is our only hope as Henry Mayes would say.
 
We should…Get right with God - the cross by the road is true.
Get right with God or you’ll get what your due.
Get right with God the cross by the road proclaimed.
Get right with God ‘fore you meet Him at the judgment day.
Get right with God through Jesus’ holy name.



My song
Copyright Joe Beeler, 2014

 
Before I was born, You knew me and loved me.
You drew me to you.  You allowed me to see.
Now I am yours though I’ll never be worthy,
Worthy enough for the price paid for me.
 
So this is my song to God my king,
Creator and master of everything.
And for his great love I let my voice ring.
This is my song to God my king.
 
My mountain of sin was piled heavy upon me.
I’m so ashamed of the choices I make.
But my sin and my shame were tossed in the ocean
The Jesus died and rose from the grave.
 
Grace is thing that cannot be fathomed.
Its height and its depth are above human thought.
Grace is a gift that is given not taken.
But when it’s received it will never be lost.
 
So this is my song to God my king,
Creator and master of everything.
And for his great love I let my voice ring.
This is my song to God my king.
 
Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I am found.  Was blind but now I see.
 
So this is my song to God my king,
Creator and master of everything.
And for his great love I let my voice ring.
This is my song to God my king.
Yes this is my song to God my king.



Lullaby of Grace
Copyright Joe Beeler, 2014

 
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I know the Lord my soul will keep.
And if I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul will take.
And it’s all because of Jesus.
It’s all because of Jesus.
 
In the morning it won’t take long,
Until I say or do something wrong.
But God still claims me as his child
Even when I run wild.
And it’s all because of Jesus.
It’s all because of Jesus.
 
God is great.
And God is good.
And even when I don’t do like I should
He loves me just same
Because someone else took the blame.
And it’s all because of Jesus.
It’s all because of Jesus.



I know who
Copyright Joe Beeler , 2014

  
Your life has not been perfect.  You’ve made your mistakes.
Now you’re searching for some answers to take your doubts away.
May I offer you some wisdom cause I’ve been in your shoes.
All those places that you’re searching, none of them will ever do.
There’s no power on this earth can bring that kind of peace to you,
But I know, I know, I know who.
 
His name is Jesus. His name is Jesus.  His name is Jesus.
And He is all you’ll ever need.  All you’ll need to see you through.
 
You say let’s not talk about religion cause you got wounds that haven’t healed. 
I’m not talking about religion.  See I’ve got some scars myself.
No I’m talking about my Savior who loves me more than words.
And I’ll have faith in His promises, and I will rest upon His word.
I know your burdens are so heavy and you need someone to give them to.
Well I know, I know, I know who.
 
His name is Jesus. His name is Jesus.  His name is Jesus.
And He is God who came to earth born of a virgin.
Lived a perfect life for the sins of every person.
Died upon the cross and rose again the third day.
Ascended into heaven where he rules today.
Jesus is the answer if only you will believe.
 
And He lives in the hearts of those who believe.
Jesus lives in the hearts of those who believe.
Let Him in your heart - simply believe.
