The River of Jordan sung by the Louvin Brothers

                                                          FOR DON





To the River Of Jordan our Savior went one day
And we read that John The Baptist met Him there
And when John baptized Jesus in Jordan's rushing waters
The mighty power of God filled the air

I'm on my way to the River Of Jordan
Gonna wade right in to the rushing waters
I'm going down, I'm going down to the River Of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul

King Naaman was stricken with dreaded leprosy
And he sent for the man of God to pray
But Elisha said to Naaman "go dip yourself in Jordan"
And let the cool waters wash your spots away

So he went right down to the River Of Jordan
He waded right in the rushing waters
He dipped himself, he dipped himself in the River Of Jordan
And the cool waters made him whole


The River Of Jordan is many miles away
And this mighty river I may never see
But I'll find myself an altar in an old-fashioned church
And my River of Jordan, that will be

Well, I'm on my way to the River Of Jordan
Gonna wade right in to the rushing waters
I'm going down, I'm going down to the River Of Jordan
And let the cool waters cleanse my soul........

Kneel At the Cross sung by the Louvin Brothers

                                                February 11, 2017 RIP






Kneel at the Cross, Christ will meet you there
Come while He waits for you
Listen to His voice, leave with Him your cares
And begin life anew

Kneel at the Cross, kneel at the Cross
Leave every care, leave every care
Kneel at the Cross, kneel at the Cross
Jesus will meet you there

Kneel at the Cross, there is room for all
Who would His Glory share
Bliss there awaits, harm can ne'er befall
Those who are anchored there

Kneel at the Cross, kneel at the Cross
Leave every care, leave every care
Kneel at the Cross, kneel at the Cross
Jesus will meet you there

Kneel at the Cross, give your idols up
Look unto realms above
Turn not away to life's sparkling cup
Trust only in His love

Kneel at the Cross, kneel at the Cross
Leave every care, leave every care
Kneel at the Cross, kneel at the Cross
Jesus will meet you there.........

Broadminded sung by the Louvin Brothers

That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n
I read in my Bible, they shall not enter in
For Jesus will answer, "depart, I never knew you"
That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n

Some people say they gamble now and then for pleasure
And drink a little whiskey just to please a friend
They say it's really nothing, you've got to be broadminded
That word in my Bible is spelled s-i-n

That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n
I read in my Bible, they shall not enter in
For Jesus will answer, Depart, I never knew you
That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n

That broadminded mother goes out and joins a party
There's nothing wrong in drinking and dancing with a friend
And then on Sunday morning, she'll say she loves her savior
She should be begging God to forgive her of her sin

That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n
I read in my Bible, they shall not enter in
For Jesus will answer, Depart, I never knew you
That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n

For to be carnally minded is death
But to be spiritually minded is life and peace
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God
For it is not subject to the law of God
Neither, indeed, can be
You'll find your word "broadminded" means sin if you'll read

That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n
I read in my Bible, they shall not enter in
For Jesus will answer, Depart, I never knew you
That word broadminded is spelled s-i-n

Satan Is Real, sung by the Louvin Brothers

Satan is real, working in spirit
You can see him and hear him in this world every day
Satan is real, working with power
He can tempt you and lead you astray

I attended service at a little church in the country not long ago
A prayer was led by an old country preacher
Who then raised his hands as everyone stood and sang
"My God is Real"
A warm breeze through the open windows
Brought in the smell of new mown hay in a nearby field
And the singing of birds could be heard in the moment of silence
As the preacher opened the bible to read
And then a little old man stood up, bent with age
His hair thin and white
And said, "Preacher, tell them that Satan is real too"
You can hear him in songs that give praise to idols
And sinful things of this world
You can see him in the destruction of homes torn apart
I know that Satan is real
For once I had a happy home
I was loved and respected by my family
I was looked upon as a leader in my community
And then Satan came into my life
I grew selfish and un-neighborly
My friends turned against me
And finally, my home was broken apart
My children took their paths into a world of sin
Yes preacher, it's sweet to know that God is real
And to know that in Him all things are possible
And we know that Heaven is a real place
Where joy shall never end
But sinner friend, if you're here today
Satan is real too
And hell is a real place
A place of everlasting punishment"

Satan is real, working in spirit
You can see him and hear him in this world every day
Satan is real, working with power
He can tempt you and lead you astray.......

The Weapon of Prayer sung by the Louvin Brothers

In that land across the sea,
There’s a job for you and me
Though our presence there may not be found
We must stay each night and day
On the battle line and pray
We must never lay our weapons down.

We don’t have to be a soldier in a uniform
To be of service over there
While the boys so bravely stand
With the weapons made by hand
Let us trust and use the weapon of prayer.

Many thousand miles away
Someone shed their blood today
With a heart so true and brave they’ve gone
To a war that’s yours and mine,
Let us join the battle line
With a weapon that will save our home.

When the planes and tanks and guns
Have done all that they can do
And the mighty bombs have rained and fell
Still the helpful Hand above
Holds a weapon made of love
And against Him none on Earth prevail.

If We Forget God

Sung by the Louvin Brothers, Ira and Charlie




If we forget God, Satan will rule
If we forget God, our nation is doomed

The stories and pictures in most magazines
now feature new stylings unfit to be seen
They're placed on the news stand where children can buy
when they go wrong do we wonder why.

If we forget God, his mercy will flee
and sin will cover the land and the sea
If we forget God, Satan will rule
If we forget God our nation is doomed.

So many are climbing fame's golden hill
by singing of evil that gives this world a thrill
But I'll sing of Jesus and though they won't hear
God will bless me for doing his will.

If we forget God, his mercy will flee
and sin will cover the land and the sea
If we forget God, Satan will rule
If we forget God, our nation is doomed.

The Family Who Prays Written and sung by Charles and Ira Louvin, The Louvin Brothers  Dedicated to the Bonee family reunion taking place today in Terre Haute, Indiana

The Family Who Prays
The family who prays
Will never be parted
Their circle in heaven unbroken shall stand
God will say "enter, my good faithful servants"
The family who prays
Never shall part

Satan has parted Fathers and Mothers
Filling their hearts with his envy and hate
Heading their pathways down to destruction
Leaving their children like orphans to stray

The family who prays
Will never be parted
Their circle in heaven unbroken shall stand
God will say "enter, my good faithful servants"
The family who prays
Never shall part

Wars and tornadoes are taking our loved ones
Leaving us tearful with sad aching hearts
But we shall join them over the river
For the family who prays
Never shall part

The family who prays
Will never be parted
Their circle in heaven unbroken shall stand
God will say "enter, my good faithful servants"
The family who prays
Never shall part

Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus
Sung by the Louvin Brothers, Ira and Charlie Louvin
In memory of  Oakie 'Jack' Collins

  Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus   Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive some peace and happiness.

   But wait a little longer, please, Jesus
   There's so many still a-wandering out in sin
   Just a little longer, please, Jesus
  A few more days to get our loved ones in.

We may look into the skies and tears will fill our eyes
For our burdened hearts grow heavy with each day
First we cry oh Lord please come, come and take your children home
But then we look around us and we say:

   Wait a little longer, please, Jesus
   There's so many still a-wandering out in sin
   Just a little longer, please, Jesus
  A few more days to get our loved ones in.

The family's scattered here and there, but Lord we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find their way
Then if waiting is the cause that they might not be lost
Lord that's the only reason why we say:

   Wait a little longer, please, Jesus
   There's so many still a-wandering out in sin
   Just a little longer, please, Jesus
   A few more days to get our loved ones in.

Lord, I'm Ready to Go Home
Sung by the The Louvin Brothers , Ira & Charlie Loudermilk
In memory of Robby Erik Smiddy  6/11/1982 - 4/5/2015



  Lord, I'm Ready to Go Home
Through the valleys of this life I have wandered
And I've worked for Jesus all along the way
But now I see the sun for me is setting
I have reached the ending of my way

Lord, I've been faithful in the service You have given
And the harvest of the fields, Lord, I have done
But now my steps are growing weary
Lord, I'm waiting, I'm ready to go home

Looking back upon the life I've lived for Jesus
I can see how He has helped me all the way
And the tears I've shed just helped to keep me humble
And each burden only taught me how to pray

Lord, I've been faithful in the service You have given
And the harvest of the fields, Lord, I have done
But now my steps are growing weary
Lord, I'm waiting, I'm ready to go home

Though I hate to leave so many friends behind me
And the parting of our ways will touch my heart
But I'll wait for them inside the gates of heaven
Where the children of God will never part

Lord, I've been faithful in the service You have given
And the harvest of the fields, Lord, I have done
But now my steps are growing weary
Lord, I'm waiting, I'm ready to go home

Don't Let Them Take the Bible Out Of Our School Rooms

The Louvin Brothers

 
"Look at the sorry state of our country today. I hope those who wanted the Bible out of our schools are enjoying all the consequences now..."


        Don't Let Them Take the Bible Out Of Our School Rooms

They're trying to take the Bible out of our schoolrooms
They say our children can't give thanks with prayer
But if they take our Bible out of our school rooms
Then how can this old world get anywhere

Don't let them take the Bible out of our school rooms
Don't let them close the door of your child's heart
Don't let them rob our children of salvation
If you do we're going to lose them from the start

Our leaders had a meeting up in Washington
They write that laws that keep our country free
If we cease to teach our children about Jesus
No school room could teach them what they need

Don't let them take the Bible out of our school rooms
Don't let them close the door of your child's heart
Don't let them rob our children of salvation
If you do we're going to lose them from the start

If it's right to allow liquor in most counties
On the news stand see the sinful pictures there
If it's right for moving pictures of corruption
Dear God how can we say it's wrong for prayer

Don't let them take the Bible out of our school rooms
Don't let them close the door of your child's heart
Don't let them rob our children of salvation
If you do we're going to lose them from the start
