I wrote this song to be performed at a fund raiser for a little boy who had many problems. My quartet (minus one) sang it. Would you believe after all these years, I found out that little boy, who is now a man of course, lives in my neighborhood. Small world isn't it?

A new commandment I give unto to you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34,35

ISN'T IT GREAT

(intro) Oh, praise God, isn't it great?..........

Isn't it great to be with friends?
To say "How are you? Good to see you again.
Why don't we sit right down, have a chat.
Tell each other just where it's at."
Oh praise God, isn't it great?.......

Isn't it great that God above
Showers us with blessings so we'll know of his love?
He gave his son to die in our stead,
For our sins His blood was shed.
Oh praise God, isn't it great?......

Isn't it great that we are one
With God the Father and His only Son?
We are a family, so we care.
Joys and heartaches we do share.
Oh praise God, isn't it great?
Oh praise God, isn't it great?




I wrote this song at the request of one of the elders at church. He was putting together a song book, so I wrote two songs. This is one of them.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

BECAUSE OF THIS ONE MAN

We know you know the things we've done, the sins that we've committed.
We know that Jesus died for us, and that we've been acquited.
But sometimes God, it's just so hard for us to understand,
That we don't have to pay our debts, because of this one man.

We do believe with all our hearts, and yet these doubts creep in.
We can't resist, we start to yield. How do you fight this man of sin?
Oh, sometimes God, it's just so hard for us to understand,
That we don't have to pay our debts, because of this one man.

And so it goes from day to day, the trials and the sorrows,
But keep the faith and soon you'll have forever bright tomorrows.
And then, oh God, we'll see his face, and we will understand,
The debt was paid, we are set free, because of this one man.

BECAUSE OF THIS ONE MAN.
