Practise Being Godly

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 1997 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. Have you seen those fit and healthy guys
Always doin’ their exercise?
Well it’s better to work for a heavenly prize
So practise being godly

CHORUS
Never give up, make it your aim
Practise being godly
If you’ve been forgiven in Jesus’ name
Practise being godly
He paid the price for all our sin
His Holy Spirit dwells within
So centre all you do on him...
Practise being godly

2. You can lift big weights, you can swim or run
Train everyday to be number one
But it’s better to train for the life to come
Practise being godly

3. Well, walk with the Lord wherever you go
Whatever you’re doing, he will know
Say, ‘Yes! God’
To sin say, ‘No!’
Practise being godly

And you heard me
Oh Lord, my God,
You rescued me from the grave

And you are mighty
The Lord is mighty

And you heal me
Oh Lord, my God
You wash me whiter than snow

He turned my mourning to dancing
Sorrow to joy
Silence to singing
And I will praise his name for evermore

The Greatest Treasure

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 1997 Rondor Music (Aust)

Well the greatest treasure
in the whole wide world is
Peace with God.
Yeah, the greatest treasure
in the whole wide world is
Peace with God.

It’s the only treasure that will never fade
Even death can’t take it away.
Yeah, the greatest treasure
in the whole wide world is
Peace with God.

1. You can live for happiness, or live for stuff
But it’s all going to fade away
But you’ll never, ever feel like you’ve got
enough
Because it’s all going to fade away
The trickiest toys that money can buy
Are all going to fade away
Because the greatest treasure...

2. What if the world makes you a star!
It’s all going to fade away
The biggest house and the flashiest car!
They’re all going to fade away
Earthly treasure’s like the morning mist
Are all going to fade away.

Because the greatest treasure
in the whole wide world is
Peace with God.
Yeah, the greatest treasure
in the whole wide world is
Peace with God.

It’s the only treasure that will never fade
Even death can’t take it away.
Yeah, the greatest treasure
in the whole wide world is
Peace with God.

I Can’t Save Myself

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 1997 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. I can’t drink all the water in the Tasman Sea
I’ll never be as tall as an old gum tree
I can’t count all the yabbies in Cooper’s Creek
And I can’t save myself

CHORUS
Just when I was powerless
Helpless in my sin
Jesus won forgiveness
So I could be born again
I had no choice, I came to him
‘Cause I can’t save myself.

2. I can’t stop all the sunshine
on the Nullarbor Plain
I can’t stand in Cairns and stop the rain
I can’t catch all the mullet in the River MacLean
And I can’t save myself.

3. I’ll never catch all the bunnies
on the Darling Downs
I’ll never move the Olgas into town
Can’t make a flock of Cockies
keep the noise down
And I can’t save myself.

Don’t Be Ashamed Of The Lord

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 1997 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. I can make you feel like a loony-tune,
Like a total goose, like a big baboon.
One day they will change their tune
So don’t be ashamed of the Lord

CHORUS
Nothing anyone can say or do
Will change who God is
And what he’s done for you
What’s right is right,
What’s true is true
So don’t be ashamed of the Lord, no, no, no
Don’t be ashamed of the Lord.

2. I might say you’re a few cents short of a
quid,
You’ve lost you’re marbles,
That you’ve flipped your lid
But that won’t change what Jesus did
So don’t be ashamed of the Lord

3. I might say your sick,
And you’re looking pale,
That your God, well he’s surely failed
Like Paul, you might end up in jail, hey
Don’t be afraid of the Lord

Let Your Light Shine

CHORUS
Let your light shine, let it be seen
Let everybody see your love.
Let you light shine, let it be seen
To the praise of the mighty God above.

When you’re feeling sad,
When things go well or when things go bad...

CHORUS

2. In the way you speak
And in what you do
Others might see the Lord in you...

Don’t Bop ‘Em On The Head

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 1997 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. I know that there’s a golden rule
Don’t get back and don’t be cruel
Use self control and keep your cool
I learnt it all in Grundy school
It goes like this ...

CHORUS
Don’t bop ‘em on the head
Don’t kick ‘em and yank their hair
Don’t punch and bite and scratch and call them
names.
‘Cause if you go the dummy-spit
The Lord will not be pleased with it.
It’s not so weak to turn the other cheek.

2. But you-know-who, he stands in line
And pushes in every time
I get so mad, ‘cause I was first
And once or twice, I’ve yelled and cursed...

3. But one day, I had chockie cake
For little lunch at morning break
Any you-know-who, he punched it hurt
And all my cake plopped in the dirt...

4. I think that I begin to see
No matter what is done to me
I’ve got to think and make my goal
To STOP!
And show some self control...

AAAAAANNNNNNDDDDDD...

CHORUS
Don’t bop ‘em on the head
Don’t kick ‘em and yank their hair
Don’t punch and bite and scratch and call them
names.
‘Cause if you go the dummy-spit
The Lord will not be pleased with it.
It’s not so weak to turn the other cheek.

Little By Little

Traditional. Arranged by Colin Buchanan © 1997 Rondor Music (Aust)

Little by little everyday
Little by little in every way
Jesus is changing me
Since I’ve made that turn-about-face
I’ve been growing in his grace
Jesus is changing me.

He’s changing me
My precious Saviour
I’m not the same person that I used to be
Well, its been slow going
But there’s a knowing
That someday, perfect I will
Someday, perfect I will
Someday perfect I will be.

Build Your Life On The Rock

Words and Music by Colin Buchanan © 1997 Rondor Music (Aust)

1. Well two men, were their houses a-building
One on rock, and one built on the sand
When the floods washed around
One just fell to the ground
But that house on the rock, it did stand.

CHORUS
Build you life on the rock, and it’s Jesus
Put your hope on the Lord’s living word
It’s the only solid ground
That will not let you down
Build your life, put your hope on the rock.

2. If you’re living for fame and for money
Well you’re digging yourself one big hole
‘Cause treasure on earth
Has no lasting worth
There’s no gain in losing your soul.

3. Trust in Jesus and seek first his kingdom
Seek his honour and strive to obey
Give your heart and your soul
To your heavenly goal
That won’t perish, that won’t fade away.
