Father
by Alvin Kelly

Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
He walks with me through prison
And brightens up my way
He showed me of my many wrongs
He forgave me of my sins
Thank you Lord Jesus
For being my friend

Thank you Lord, Jesus Christ
For coming into my life
Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord
For Calvary
Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord
Because you died for me
And I thank you, Lord jesus
For remembering me

As I walk through this world
I have a different attitude
I reflect Jesus Christ
In everything that I do
Oh I want everyone
To share what I feel
Thank you Lord, Thank you Lord
For Calvary 

Oh rock me so gentle Lord
In the palms of your hands
Don't let me confuse Lord
With the common man
Help remind me each day Lord
That I'm surrounded with love
Oh walk with me
Oh show me the way
Don't let me fall down

Oh rock me so gentle Lord
In the palms of your hands
Help keep me secure Lord
For I'm just a man
Well life is so tempting
Give me strength to survive
Oh rock me so gentle Lord
In the palms of your hands

Oh rock me so gentle Lord
In the palms of your hands
Well hear my confession
Forgive me my sins
I thank you Lord Jesus
For being my friend
And rock me so gentle
In the palms of your hands 

As my Savior walks with me
He guides me through
Each trying day
He has changed
Everything about me
Brought me back to reality
He took away
All the pain, hostility
Replaced it with
Peace and charity

How precious was
The day I believed
That Jesus Christ
Died for me
He gave his life
His love, His precious blood
To cleanse the sins
Of all of us

I lift up His Holy name
To my God above
How wonderful is
His precious love
On bended knees I give thanks
For all He's done
For God sent to us
His only Son

When you're walking the world
On an every day basis
You got to be careful
With the choices that you're making

The Devil is waiting
Just around the bend
He would like nothing better
Than to drag you into sin

THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Right or wrong
Be careful what you choose
Before you move on

A lot of people think
That it's cool to get high
On drugs
And alcohol too
But they're not thinking
Or using their brain because
That old high
Is a temporary thing

THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Right or wrong
Be careful what you choose
Before you move on

Now Jesus came down
And walked among men
He freed us all
From the bondage of sin
He gave the will
To choose as we may
But you better be careful
With the choices you make

THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Right or wrong
Be careful what you choose
Before you move on

Now Jesus came down
and walked among men
He freed us all
from the bondage of sin.
He gave the will
to choose as we may
But you better be careful
with the choices you make.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS
right or wrong
Be careful what you choose
before you move on.

God grant me freedom
On this very day
Give me the understanding
Of all that I read
Show me the peace of mind
That only you can
God grant me the freedom
For I'm just a man

Now freedom doesn't
Necessarily mean
Outside walking
Amongst all the trees
There's freedom from bondage
And iniquity
Well have faith in Jesus
Is all that you need

They locked me in solitary
They took away all my rights
But they can not take away
My Jesus Christ
For He lives inside of me
And guides me each day
God grant me freedom
On this very day

Satan we're going to tear your kingdom down
I said
Satan we're going to tear your kingdom down
Yes Lord
We're going to walk through this world
Praising Jesus Christ
I said
Satan we're going to tear your kingdom down

Well old Satan he likes to rule this Earth
He likes to take control of us
We'll put on the armor of our Jesus Christ
And old Satan has got to find a place to hide

Shod your feet with the preparation of peace
And gird your loins with the truth
Put on the breast plate of righteousness
And take up the shield of faith

Put on the helmet of salvation
And take up the sword in your hand
Now the sword is The Word of Almighty God
And preach it through out all the land

For God has not given us
The spirit of fear
But the power of love
And a sound mind

When you're walking through the valleys
And there's trouble everywhere
And you do not know
Which way you ought to turn
Well just get down on your knees
And take it up in prayer
Yes, take it up unto the Lord in prayer

As you're facing each new trial
And temptation every day
Always keep your eyes upon the Lord
For God is always faithful
Not to suffer you
To be tempted more than
He knows you can bear

But with every temptation
He will also make
A way for you to know
That He is there
And through the precious name
Of our Jesus Christ
There is nothing that
You can not bear

For through the grace
From God above
We have all
Learned how to love
Through His mercy
We draw strength
Throughout each day
From His blessings
Which He bestows
We all reap
Just what we sow
If we plant
A tree of peace
Love and kindness
Is what we reap
All we have
All we are
Comes from the way
We praise the Lord
I thank you Lord
For loving me
I praise you God
For eternity)

Lord strengthen me
Throughout each day
To face the trials
That come my way
To stand up tall
Grant me wisdom
Not to fall
Bless me with
The Holy Spirit
To guide and teach me
Your all true meaning
Of every word
To which I read
To every want
And all my needs
Whatever I face
And what I do
I pray Dear Lord
Will glorify you 

The windows of heaven
Are opened
The blessings are
Falling tonight

There's Joy, Joy, Joy
In my heart
Since Jesus made
Everything right

I gave him my old
Tattered garments
He gave me a robe
Of pure white

I'm feeding on Manna
From heaven
And that's why I'm
Happy tonight 

If you live the life
Of a bad man
That's the way
You die

Some men ride a Harley
Some men drive a car
Some men carry 45's
Some don't get that far

Life is one big circle
It only has one end
How you live, what you do
Makes you who you are

Society is cutting back
On that old cocaine
They're trying to put a stop
To methamphedimine

As I close my eyes and think
I praise God for His loving grace
For through His grace
I have found
The peace, the joy
To love out loud
For now when I have
Something to say
It's because of God's
Sweet loving grace
I thank you God
For creating me
I pray that I
May someday be
The man that you
Intended me to be 

Lord, give me courage to be true
To you in all I say and do.
Give me your love to keep me sweet
To everyone I chance to meet.
Give me your power to keep me strong;
Grant me your presence all day long.
Give me the faith that all may see
How very real you are to me.
Give me wisdom to choose the best,
Help me perform each task with zest.
Give me vision to see your plan,
Use me, Lord, wherever you can.

As we pass along life's
Rocky road
We seemt o notice the
Things that are the
Brightest
The shiny cars
The fancy clothes
But most of all
The riches
I myself am guilty
Of these shameful things
Only caring for my wishes
But as I grew
And began to pay
For the wrongs
In which I'd committed
I realized that I had
Lived of this world
And not from within
As I began to search
And look at myself
I somehow found the peace
For it was then I came to know
My Precious Savior and Lord
The only good that really
Exists is in Christ Jesus 

Dear Heavenly Father,
I come to you
In the name of Jesus Christ.
I know that I am a sinner
And have been for some while.
I ask for forgiveness and understanding
And you, Jesus, to come into my life.
It wasn't until I became a man
And ended up in jail, that
I asked You into my life. I
was 34, a captain for Satan,
I thought I was King of the Road.
I wound up locked in jail
And found out no one really cares.
So as I was locked in my single cell
With nothing but me and a Bible,
I started to read, I started to pray,
"God please give me understanding".
And as I read, and God touched my heart,
I became aware of an important thing.
That Jesus Christ died for me,
So that I, too, can be free.
He gave his life for all our sins,
All we have to do is believe
That Jesus is risen
And waiting in heaven
For both you and me. 

Chorus:
Well I'm walking with Jesus
My Lord and Savior
Well I'm walking with Jesus
My Lord and King
As He gently
Guides me onward
Down the pathway
Of righteousness

Now we're all human
But mere men
Easily tempted
To the bondage of sin
It's only through
The blood of Jesus
That we can be cleansed
From all our sins

(Chorus)

When I wake up in the morning
To face each day
I let the light of Jesus
Guide my way
For the light of Jesus
Is even shinning
And can shine through
Your darkest day

(Chorus)

When troubles are many
And answers are few
And you do not
Know what to do
Well just get down
Upon your knees
And cry Dear Jesus
Deliver me
