Every Sunday my wife goes to church

Where every Sunday I go on a search

At the First Holiness Flea Market Church

Her pastor he looks down on me

As I seek out souls for eternity

At the First Holiness Flea Market Church

On Sunday’s I kind of hold service there

Walking around tellin’ folks that Jesus cares

At the First Holiness Flea Market Church

And well, that’s just how I roll

Saving bargain shoppers souls

At the First Holiness Flea Market Church

Chorus

(Singer): At the First Holiness Flea Market Church

(Note: Orchestra and choir begins preforming Handel’s Messiah here, alternating with the First Holiness Flea Market Church tune)

(Choir): Hallelujah

(Singer): At the First Holiness Flea Market Church

(Choir): Hallelujah, Hallelujah

(Singer): First Holiness Flea Market Church

In my desire to spread the truth

Sometimes I even rent a booth

At the First Holiness Flea Market Church

Oh yes, I’ve been so blessed

To be a wandering evangelist

Down at the First Holiness Flea Market Church

Jesus was in the markets and streets

Sharing God’s love with those He meets

Like at the First Holiness Flea Market Church

Bridge

People I meet in my market search
They wouldn’t set foot in a church

But are regulars at

The First Holiness Flea Market Church

(With sincere apologies to George Frideric Handel)

If you find yourself lost

After you’ve gone astray

To find your way home

Is just one prayer away

Chorus

There is always hope

For I know of a way

As you have the answer

Just one prayer away

I felt lost and abandoned 

When my life went array

It turned out my anchor

Was just one prayer away

Chorus

There is always hope

For I know of a way

As you have the answer

Just one prayer away

Devils in the doorway

And your life’s in decay

You can find freedom

Just one prayer away

Chorus

There is always hope

For I know of a way

As you have the answer

Just one prayer away

Sun’s hiding behind the mist

Although I know it’s there

He won’t come out and shine

Like he doesn’t even care

When you can’t walk no further

Or you run out of gas

Is when you dig in

And let the storm pass

The sky grows angry

And clouds start to swarm

I hope to find shelter

To ride out the storm

Chorus

Saddle up your faith

As trouble starts to form

Perseverance will prevail

As you ride out the storm

Clouds start looking dark

A tornado not the norm

I need to seek shelter

And ride out the storm

The weathers moving in

With rain pouring down

And soaking wet I come

To the very edge of town

As the lighting dances 

I slowly make my way

Replying thunder growls

When I enter a small café

Chorus

Saddle up your faith

As trouble starts to form

Perseverance will prevail

As you ride out the storm

The power’s gone out

Coffee’s barely warm

At least I’m out of the rain

As I ride out the storm

With our eyes on the skies

Lightning takes its jagged path

Watching the wicked storm

Delivering fury and its wrath

Now hiding out in safety 

Rescued from any harm

Happy to harbor securely

While I ride out the storm

Chorus

Saddle up your faith

As trouble starts to form

Perseverance will prevail

As you ride out the storm

Love should be given away generously

And not rationed out carefully

Honesty, loyalty can be learned

But only trust is something earned

Chorus

No matter the need

No matter the task

If you want me there

All you have to do, is ask

There is no place so very deep

That God’s saving grace can’t reach

No darkness His love won’t glow

No place His forgiveness doesn’t flow

Chorus

No matter the need

No matter the task

If you want me there

All you have to do, is ask

Bridge

As truth hits a target,

Beyond you and me,

Your faith hits a target,

That others cannot see

Love should be given away generously

And not rationed out carefully

Honesty, loyalty can be learned

But only trust must be earned

Chorus

No matter the need

No matter the task

If you want me there

All you have to do, is ask

(Theme song for: Buddy’s Guardian Angel)

Would you consider

A child born in danger

Would you consider a baby

As a king in a humble manger

Would you consider

The man who walked on water

Would you consider a Messiah

Too save His sons and daughters

Would you consider

That we are but a squatter

With heaven as our home

And we are made by God our potter

Chorus

Would you consider

Glory to God the angles sing

Would you consider a baby

The Messiah born to be our king

Would you consider

Freedom from the grave

Would you consider a Savior

Who gave His life to save

Would you consider

Gifts and decoration are hollow

Would you consider that we 

Need something more to follow

Would you consider

God was delivered Christmas night

Would you consider we are now

All delivered by His love and light

Chorus

Would you consider

Glory to God the angles sing

Would you consider a baby

The Messiah born to be our king 

He didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

Part of the way up to Calvary

Jesus carried my cross for me

The weight brought Him to His knees

Joseph of Arimathea drafted randomly

Chorus

He didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

Jesus didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

Are you the Son of God, was Pilates plea

Roman governor demanded, answer me

Jesus answered, Yes, I am, and you shall see

Me coming in on clouds of power and glory

Chorus

He didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

Jesus didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

Nail to a cross, with hate and brutally

Sins of the world poured out on thee

He bore them all for you and me

His saving grace for all eternity

Chorus

He didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

Jesus didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

He didn’t just carry the cross

He carried me

To set me Free

He carried me 

Was so excited as my family and I came

So many cherished memories still remain

Find a pew and my family stake our claims

Sanctuary dark except for glowing flames

Christmas morning made me nervous

But not Candlelight Christmas Eve Service

Basking in the radiance of candlelight

In church on a cold Christmas Eve night

Chorus

As hymns and candlelight weave

So beautiful I never want to leave

It is my favorite service I believe

Candlelight Service on Christmas Eve

The sanctuary lit up as candles glow

All the favorite Christmas songs I know

Celebrating the faith in our Savior grows

As Candlelight Christmas Eve Service flows

And everything with my soul is right

Infant son of God born with all His might

All’s right in church on this O’ Holy night

Bathed in the glimmering of candlelight

Chorus

As hymns and candlelight weave

So beautiful I never want to leave

It is my favorite service I believe

Candlelight Service on Christmas Eve

What if I wrote 

A song that was a hit

But was never played

And nobody ever heard it

Would I be a songwriter

Or would I be a poet

Maybe be neither

If I never showed it

What if I wrote a lyric

That didn’t have a rhyme

Would I have a song

Or just a waste of time

What if with just one song

If I could be so clever

That could make people 

Fall in love forever

I would write it today

And sing it only to you

I would write that song

That’s what I would do

To be in love with you

For forever and a day

If I could only find the music

And the right words to say

Is this the right song

It’s a chance I’ll take

I’m betting my future

Everything’s at stake

What if I wrote a love song 

That you always heard

Saying that I love you

With every single word 

Got a fleet of luxury exotic cars

And I hang out with movie stars

Limousines and private planes

Traveling in life’s fast lanes

I’ve done won the rat race

But one thing looks out of place

Chorus

With my personalize alligator boots

And custom-made tailored suits

Makin money like heaven’s manna

My breast pocket has an old red bandanna

The dirty rag looks out of place

But I keep of a reminder of God’s grace

The old bandanna which I always wear

It comforts me like a daily prayer

Working from morning to night

Only son of a poor farmer’s plight

He gave me a red bandanna one hot day

In the field when we were bundling hay

Chorus

With my personalize alligator boots

And custom-made tailored suits

Makin money like heaven’s manna

My breast pocket has an old red bandanna

The dirty rag looks out of place

But I keep of a reminder of God’s grace

The bandana is now faded and stained

From years of sweat when I was drained

Milking cows and pulling a rusty plow

Wiping gallons of perspiration from my brow

Among all the hard work and strife

My parents gave me love and life

Chorus

With my personalize alligator boots

And custom-made tailored suits

Makin money like heaven’s manna

My breast pocket has an old red bandanna

The dirty rag looks out of place

But I keep of a reminder of God’s grace

  Angel Wings (A true story)

The girls were five, four, and three

And a joy for their grandma and me

One day shopping Grandma found 

On a table of the clearance things

Sat several sets of angel wings

Chorus

Cheesecloth around metal frames

Shaped like wings for playing games

Elastic loops so kids could put them on

They were angel wings for the girls to try

So, they didn’t have to pretend to fly

Reading stories and learning to spell

Watching Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle

Everyone flying in pretending land

Fairy tales and life would weave

Reality fading into make believe

Angel wings, girls were delighted

They put them on, and fun ignited

All around the house they danced

They could fly like queens and kings 

As they all were wearing angel wings

Watching them play without cares

The three-year-old at the top stairs

With tears flooding down her eyes

I asked what’s wrong why do you cry

She looked at me and said “I can’t fly”

I held her close and held her tight

Told her everything would be all right

Was so relieved that she didn't jump

You see grandma can do magic things

And brought to her these angel wings

Chorus

Cheesecloth around metal frames

Shaped like wings for playing games

Elastic loops so kids could put them on

They were angel wings for the girls to try

So, they didn’t have to pretend to fly

Are there any Christians in California?

I hear about all the problems there

I asked the Lord and He answered me

He said Yes, my children are everywhere

Are there any Christians in New York?

The city is so big and awfully loud

Could I find even one in that crowd

Of course, He replied from His cloud

Are there any Christians in Chicago?

I hear about all the shootings there

Innocent people being gunned down

Yes, He said, there all over that town

Are there any Christians in Washington?

Everyone is on the take and full of greed

Where congress tax us all until we bleed

He replied only in the truth you’ll be freed

Are there any Christians in Atlanta?

I see so much crime in the Bible belt

Is there anywhere your love can be felt?

He said, my love will make your heart melt

Are there Christians in my hometown?

I keep hearing about all the troubles here

The Lord told me; you know what to do

How many Christians there are, is up to you

Are you going to light a match?

When life is hard to handle

And give light to others

By holding up a candle

Chorus

Will you stand up for truth?

And join freedoms choir

Are you going to light a match?

Or start a blazing fire?

Shout for love and joy

Be the one to inspire

Bring forth words of peace

As truth’s town crier

Be honest and true

Someone others admire

Bring light to the world

And be a loving live wire

Chorus

Will you stand up for truth?

And join freedoms choir

Are you going to light a match?

Or start a blazing fire?

Stand up for the unborn

Don’t join the heartless

For even a small flame

Will cut through the darkness

Don’t turn your back on hate

Thinking that its harmless

Always be the light of love

Even when the night is starless

Chorus

Will you stand up for truth?

And join freedoms choir

Are you going to light a match?

Or start a blazing fire? 

Chorus

It’s me again God

Here with another prayer

The third time today

So glad that you care

A friend is in the hospital

My neighbor lost their Dad

Bless them with the memories

Of all the good times they had

Praying for the unchurched 

And all those who are lost

That they find their way to heaven

As Christ already paid the cost

Chorus

It’s me again God

Here with another prayer

The fourth time today

So glad that you care

For all my family and friends

Who are going through trials

I pray so often I should earn

Some frequent flyers miles

Bridge

Your love is so great

You never tire of hearing from me

And only your truth

Will set us all free

Chorus

It’s me again God

Here with another prayer

The fifth time today

So glad that you care

Everything about Christmas 

How I treasured it as a boy

Those candlelight services

And all the Christmas joy

Snow, presents and Santa

With lights on every limb

Toys and choirs singing

My favorite carols and hymns

But when I was a teen

Christmas lost its light

I lost my Christmas joy

Traded silent for a lonely night

Chorus

It took a baby to remind me

And remove my fear and doubt

It took a baby to remind me

What Christmas is all about

I met the Christ child again

As my faith grows strong

And he brought me back

Back to where I belong

I fell in love and married

Then when my newborn smiled

All my glorious joy returned 

For the holy Christmas child

With children of my own

Reading the Christmas story

And choirs of angels singing 

Of Prince of Peace and glory

Chorus

It took a baby to remind me

And remove my fear and doubt

It took a baby to remind me

What Christmas is all about
