THE JESUS I ONCE KNEW

Lyrics by Stan C. Countz

V1
Whatever happened to the Jesus I once knew?
Have you heard Him in the pulpit or seen Him in the pews?
His Grace is all you need and He will see you through
He proved it when He died; He died for me and you____

V2
For those who chose to listen
He shared the plain and simple truth
When you’ve got nothin’, you’ve got nothin’ to lose
So call on Him and He’ll be, He’ll be there for you

A friend to the friendless
His love is truly endless
He proved it when He died
He died for me and you…

I’m still amazed by His amazing grace
One day we’re gonna see Him face to face
His Grace is all you need and He will see you through
He proved it when He died; He died for me and you

{Saxophone solo}

His Grace is all you need and He will see you through
So tell Him that you need Him and tell Him when you’re blue
You can call on Him and He’ll be there for you
He proved it when He died, He died for me and you

Whatever happened to the Jesus I once knew?
Have you seen Him in the papers or seen Him on the news?
A friend to the friendless; His love is truly endless
And He proved it when He died; He died for me and you

THE JESUS I ONCE KNEW

LIFE IS A VAPOR

Lyrics and Music by Stan C. Countz

CHORUS
Life is a vapor and it’s fadin’ fast
Like the morning paper, it ain’t gonna last
The flowers may wither like the morning grass
So savor it while it lasts; the future may soon be the past
So live each day as though it may be your last
‘Cuz it just may be and always remember
I know it’s never as easy as at first it seems
To keep the main thing, the main thing
So never let anyone steal your dream…

V1
I wasn’t watchin’ so I just missed it
I was too busy doin’ somethin’ else
I may have missed my chance
to make a difference
But I’m always harder on myself
Playin’ the martyr, prayin’ for deliverance
Hope He won’t put me back on the shelf
I need a hand and I need His help

V2
Workin’ hard to make a livin’
Spendin’ too much time apart it just ain’t right
Too busy takin’ to be givin’
Now it cuts my heart just like a knife
Hope this wasn’t my last chance
It was right before my eyes
Spent too much time tryin’ to make a livin’
to try to make a life

PRE-CHORUS
It’ll catch you nappin’ and, before you know it,
You’ve missed your chance to make your mark
Life just happens and, before you blow it,
You gotta do the dance and do your part
And live your life with all your heart

BRIDGE
Dance each dance; never sit ‘em out
Take a chance and don’t ever doubt
Follow your goal with your whole heart and soul
No one knows where the wind will blow
When it’s time to come or time to go
So take heart and take part in buildin’ the team
And don’t forget to remember that it’s never
Never as easy as at first it seems
To keep the main thing, the main thing
So never let anyone steal your dream

CHORUS
