Start the New Year Today
03:49

Simple Intro.
1. Each year when the old year has ended
Before a new one's begun,
We'll make so many resolutions
Before the old year is done.
We'll wait 'til the end of December,
But by then it's already too late.
So don't wait 'til the new year's completed;
Go ahead and start the new year today.
Cho.
Don't wait 'til the trumpet has sounded
And He calls His faithful away.
For today is the day of salvation,
And tomorrow it may be too late.
Why put off today for tomorrow?
For tomorrow you may be in the grave.
So don't wait til the end of the old year.
Tag Oh, my friend, start the new year today.
Guitar Solo
2. Resolutions come and go with the passing of time
And more often than not they don't last.
People try to lose weight; go out on more dates,
But the end of the year comes so fast.
Still there's one thing, my friend, that you can depend on;
It's eternal, and it won't fade away.
That's God's love for you; salvation so true,
Oh, my friend, start the new year today.

Intro: Em, D, G (Melody to last line of “Amazing Grace”)
Verse 1
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
To die on an old rugged cross.
But who am I that a friend such as He
Would pay such an awful cost?
Cho.
And that’s why I sing “Amazing Grace”,
To me it means everything.
His life for mine, His love for me;
Tag Amazing grace is why I sing.
Split Solo to “Amazing Grace”
Verse 2
There have been so many times where I could not see
How His grace could pull me through.
But God’s “Amazing Grace” was sufficient for me,
And ‘twill be enough for you.

Revival in the Air

Intro.
Verse 1
It’s springtime once again here in the country.
The flowers, they are blooming everywhere.
I can see creation waking, a brand new breath of life we’re taking,
But most of all, I feel revival in the air.
Cho.
Those old-time Gospel songs get sweeter ev’ry year.
And there’s people on the altar, crying to the Father
As He wipes away their tears.
And we’d praise the power down; feel the Spirit all around,
It’s so mighty that it even lifts my hair.
Oh, there ain’t no doubt about it; I’ve just got to sing and shout it,
Yes, I love to feel revival in the air.
Turnaround Solo
Verse 2
The fog lies on the ground ‘neath the old brush arbor,
As the preacher starts his sermon with loving care.
I can hear his voice get higher as he preaches down the fire,
Yes, I love to feel revival in the air.
R/C
Tag: Let the Hallelujahs ring: I just can’t wait until next spring,
Yes, I love to feel revival in the air—Yes, in the air.
Well, it’s springtime once again here in the country.

Dear Preacher Man

Intro.
1. Dear preacher man, would you care to pray for me?
I've got so many troubles on my mind.
I know you've got more important things to do,
But I need a little help from up on high.
2. And dear preacher man, would you tell me 'bout God's plan?
Would you speak a word of comfort to my heart?
I need someone to tell me 'bout the Saviour's love
And how He can give my life a brand new start.
Cho. Preacher, tell me 'bout this man called Jesus;
And tell me 'bout His mercy and His grace.
Preacher, preach it strong, preach it loud, and preach it long
So that when I die (1. and) (2. I'll) see Him face to face,
(1. I can say, “Praise God, King Jesus took my place.”)
(2. And in Heaven there will be no more sad partings.
No more sin to try men's souls.
No more goodbyes; no more tears to dim the eyes,
And up there our feet will walk on streets of gold.
Oh, the half of Heaven hasn't yet been told;
I can't wait to see just what the future holds;
Preacher man, remember, God...cares...for...your...soul.)
Solo
3. Dear preacher man, have you read His Word today?
Have you spent a little time today in prayer?
Please don't forget that I'm counting on your help
To remind me when I'm down that He still cares.
4. And dear preacher man, if you're faithful to His plan,
You'll receive a crown for your reward.
Keep pressing on, for I know it won't be long
'Til you claim the prize man never could afford.
R/C with number 2 lyrics

Fill My Cup, Lord
©1999 Eric Beaty
Cho. Fill my cup, Lord, whenever it runs dry;
Whenever I am thirsty and I've lost the tears to cry.
Help me follow in the footsteps of the One who lifts me up.
Lead my soul beside still waters;
Oh, Lord, please fill my cup.
1. There are times, Lord, when I forget whose child I am;
When I forget that there are others who can lend a helping hand.
So please help me to remember and forget again no more.
And remind me when I'm weak, Lord, what it is I'm fighting for.
R/C
2. Give me strength, Lord, when my strength is almost gone;
When I'm in the lowest valley and I've none left to carry on.
When I'm in the darkest darkness, it is then I need the sun.
Send the light to stir my memory of where it was you brought me
from.
(Key change: Whole step up)
3. Take my hand, Lord, and lead me to that shore
Where cool water flows forever and my soul shall thirst no more.
Where I'll gather with the millions for the crowning of the King.
And the angels watch in silence just to hear the song we sing.
R/C
Tag: I'm trusting in you, Jesus;
Oh, Lord, please fill my cup.

Seven Good Days a Year

John Cordy's use of melody is uncanny and appealing to the ear. His tones are second to none with the use of his many Line 6 Helix products. One of my favorite YouTube guitarists for sure.

Jack Gardiner and Owane are a perfect match for each other musically, as this album attests. Tasteful virtuoso guitar playing mixed with 80's style synths and effects will have your ears wanting more.

Plini's sense of melody and song structure astound me. He can take the simplest lines and send your soul soaring. Ambient textures, flawless playing, and tight band nuances will leave you breathless.
