YOUR MOTHER'S PRAYER
(Buck Owens - Eddie Miller)
« © '68 Tree Publishing, BMI »
You lived through the crash on the highway it's a miracle you're here today
You say Lady Luck was ridin' with you but it might be that your mother prayed
You were saved in the war over yonder
You say your good luck charm pulled you through
But the only reason that you might be living
Is your mother just might have been prayin' for you
Don't give Lady Luck all of the credit it might have been your mother's prayer
She holds the key to the powers in heaven and pleads with your Maker up there
Now you call yourself lucky and believe that it's true
But your mother just might have been prayin' for you
[ steel ]
Don't give Lady Luck...

WAIT A LITTLE LONGER PLEASE JESUS
(Hazel Houser - Chester Smith)
« © '54 Central Songs, BMI »
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 gettin' anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll reseive such peace and happiness
Wait a little longer please Jesus there are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus a few more days to get our loved ones in
[ steel ]
We may look into the skies and tears may fill our eyes
For our burdened heart grows heavier with each day
First we cry oh Lord please come come take your children home
But then we look around us and we say
Wait a little longer...

GREAT JUDGEMENT DAY
(Buck Owens)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
The judgement day dawn then with trumpets had blown
The nations had gathered the portal white throne
The rich man was there with his silver and gold
But all of his money could not buy his soul
Let the world have its riches its silver and gold
I'd rather have Jesus than any of those
Make peace with your Saviour don't turn him away
And seek your reward on that great judgenment day
[ dobro ]
So many around us are trying to win a place in this world that forever will stand
For soon God will come and he'll take all control
And all your possessions won't save your poor soul
Let the world have its riches...
And seek your reward on that great judgenment day

IN GOD I TRUST
(Buck Owens - Bob Morris)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
In God I trust to always give me faith in God I trust to drive away my hate
To fill my heart with his forgiven love yes I believe in him In God I trust
In God I trust to make me understand in God I trust to always hold my hand
To lead me on and take me when he must yes I believe in him In God I trust
That he'll be there when darkness falls over me
To give me light and guide me through life's raging sea
And when this world becomes a worthless dust I'll be with him above in God I trust
I'll be with him above in God I trust

WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER
(James M. Black - Gene Clark)
« © '56 Good News Broadcasting, BMI »
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair
When the saved word shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder when the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder when the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
[ piano + steel ]
Let us lay before the Master from the dawn till setting sun
Let us talk of all his wonderous love and care
Then when all of life is over and our work on earth is done
And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
When the roll is called up yonder...
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there

LONESOME VALLEY
(A.P. Carter)
« © '58 Peer International, BMI »
You gotta walk that lonesome valley you gotta go there by yourself
There's no one else gonna go there for you you gotta go there by yourself
Now my mama said when she was dying son oh son you've left alone
Yes put your trust alone in Jesus and he will lead you safely home
You gotta walk...
[ fiddle ]
Some folks say John was the baptist others say it wasn't true
But the Holy Bible tells us that he was a preacher too
You gotta walk...

THAT SUNDAY FEELING
(Buck Owens - Faye Butler)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
When I go to church on Sunday I'm so satisfied
Lost in love and sweet contentment soon is high in sight
The frangnance of this holy place to him so sweet and dear
I can feel God's spirit workin' everywhere
I get that Sunday feeling all week long
And you'll find that nothing can go wrong
If you will pray a lot sing a lot read his word each day
You'll get that Sunday feeling everyday
[ guitar - steel ]
Sometimes ol' Satan makes my life so miserable
My burdens grow so heavy and unbearable
Then I bow my head in prayer and sing a hymn or two
And get that Sunday feeling Wednesday too
I get that Sunday feeling...
You'll get that Sunday feeling everyday

MY SAVIOUR LEADS THE WAY
(Buck Owens)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
I have a safe and sure retreat where I'm alone with God
A perfect peace and happiness where sorrow never trod
Oh praise his name his holy name salvation full and free
Ol' glory to the blessed lamb my Saviour leads the way
My Saviour leads the way my Saviour leads the way
My soul was lost in deep despair till Jesus came to me
But now I'm safe thank God I'm safe because of calvary
I'm following his footsteps my Saviour leads the way
[ steel ]
My burdens all seem lighter when I steal away and pray
I feel his presence and I know he's with me all the way
Alone with him I'll watch and wait I know it won't be long
Till I shall stand before my Lord and sing a happy song
My Saviour leads the way...

JUST A FEW MORE DAYS
(Buck Owens)
« © '70 Tree Publishing, BMI »
What a joy to meet my Saviour to wear a rose in a crown
To live with him forever in glory to lay my burdens down
Just a few more days to stay in soon I'll join the angel band
Friends and loved ones all will greet me there in the promised land
[ piano - dobro ]
A few more days and I shall see him sitting on a great white throne
In the presence of the angels Christ will crown his own
Just a few more days...
There in the promised land
