I HAD A DREAM

_{Lyrics and music written and composed 1969 by Jason Lawrence Pizzuto all rights reserved1993©Aurora Productions}

Well, I had a dream, just the other night,
I saw my Lord Jesus, what a heart-breaking sight,
You know He suffered and bled, for you and me,
Reaching out His hand, He showed it to me
Where the nails had punctured, the smooth skin of His palm,
Sweetly saying He loved me, so clearly and calm.
He said I am the way, the truth and the life
No man will see Heaven, except by my light

Now go and tell others, to come unto me,
That I am the door in which, salvation is free,
So here I am now, I’m just pleading with you,
To take my precious Jesus, so alive and so true,
That He may take you, and mold you to be,
A strong striving branch on, God’s living tree

 

CREATION SINGS

_{^{Author and Composer Jason Lawrence
Lead vocal Jason Lawrence/Female vocal Theresa Martin/Slide Guitar Jeremy Spencer}}

Verse 1 Creation sings, my heart brings
Salvation, joy, thanksgiving
Summer winds, return again
And I know I’m alive and breathing

Chorus: And we’ve got to return to the garden of Eden
To the lost paradise of God’s will
To the pure gentle loving of each man and each woman
By the streams of the rivers of the hills

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oo-oh-oh
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo

Verse 2 The birds sing praise, His song is raised
Creations groans to be delivered
The flower is crushed, the perfume is pressed
The secret of its sweetness is discovered

Chorus X 2 And we’ve got to return to the garden of Eden
To the lost paradise of God’s will
To the pure gentle loving of each man and each woman
By the streams of the rivers of the hills

Coda: Fadeout end_ Oh-oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oo-oh-oh, Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo, Oo-oo-oo-oo

ON HEAVEN’S SHORE

Verse 1:  One day I’ll walk, hand in hand with Jesus,

One day I’ll walk, on Heaven’s shore,  

One day with Jesus, He’ll wipe away all tears,  

One day when Jesus, in His glory appears.  

Chorus 1: All earthly treasures, will disappear,

And Heaven’s plea sures, will destroy all fears,

One day I’ll walk with… Angels inglory,

The streets of gold, on Heaven’s shore  

Verse 2:  One day we’ll be with, all of our loved ones,  

Those wehave left, on distant shores,

And reunited, with those we’ve won to Him,  

Arm in arm together, we’ll sing a Heavenly hymn.  

Chorus 2: All earthly treasures, will disappear,

And Heaven’s pleasures, will destroy all fears,

One day I’ll walk with… Angels inglory,

The streets of gold, on Heaven’s shore…

And we’ll sing the story, of the crowns wewear

And live in bright mansions…  Forever more  

Verse 3:  But until that day, we still have a job to do,  

Daily giving, sacrificing more,

Others will know Him, through the special love we share,  

Gates of Pearl willopen, when we get there.  

Chorus 2: – connecting with the following ending

Coda:   Forevermore…         (Ad-libs)

  On Heaven’s shore… hand in hand with Jesus!

  Forever more… walk the streets of gold!

  On Heaven’s shore… havin’ such a good time!

  Forever more… seein’ all our loved ones!

  On Heaven’s shore… flyin’ in the clouds!

  Forever more… And live in bright mansions…   On Heaven’s shore!
