Church Bus Songs

By David J. Stewart

Here are some great Christian songs to teach the children and adults on your Sunday bus route.  Some children live in hell at home, all adults carry burdens, and everyone has a need to belong--there's no better way to encourage others than to teach them to sing melodies in their heart to the Lord. 


GET THE NEW LOOK FROM THE OLD BOOK

Get the new look, from the old Book
Get the new look from the Bible
Get the new look, from the old Book
Get the new look from God's Word

The inward look, the outward look
The upward look from the old, old Book
Get the new look, from the old Book
Get the new look from God's Word


WON'T IT BE WONDERFUL THERE

Won't it be wonderful there, having no burdens to bare
Joyously singing, with heart bell all ringing
Won't it be wonderful there
 

SING AS YOU RIDE

Sing as you ride, through the roundup of life
Sing as you ride, through the roundup of life
Sing as you ride, for with Christ by your side
He will never once fail, to the end of the trail
So just sing as you ride


I WILL SING OF THE MERCIES OF THE LORD FOREVER

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever
I will sing (echo), I will sing (echo)
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord

With my mouth, will I make known
Thy faithfulness, thy faithfulness
With my mouth, will I make known
They faithfulness to all generations

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever
I will sing (echo), I will sing (echo)
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
 

THE LORD KNOWS THE WAY THROUGH THE WILDERNESS

The Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow
The Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow

Strength for the day, is mine all the way
And all that I need for tomorrow
The Lord knows the way through the wilderness
All I have to do is follow
 

I'VE GOT A MANSION

'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold
But in that city where the ransomed will shine
I want a gold one that's silver lined

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Though often tempted, tormented, and tested
And like the prophet my pillow's a stone
And though I find here no permanent dwelling
I know He'll give me a mansion my own

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold

Don't think me poor or deserted or lonely
I'm not discouraged I'm heaven bound
I'm but a pilgrim in search of the city
I want a mansion, a harp and a crown

I've got a mansion just over the hilltop
In that bright land where we'll never grow old
And some day yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold
 

DO LORD

I've got a home in Gloryland that outshines the sun
I've got a home in Gloryland that outshines the sun
I've got a home in Gloryland that outshines the sun
Look way beyond the blue

Do Lord, or do Lord, or do remember me
Do Lord, or do Lord, or do remember me
Do Lord, or do Lord, or do remember me
Way beyond the blue

(I took Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too)
 

SEEK YE FIRST

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you, Allelu, Alleluia

Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and ye shall find
Knock and it shall be opened unto you, Allelu, Alleluia

Men shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word
That proceedeth out of the mouth of God, Allelu, Alleluia
 

I'M SO HAPPY

I'm so happy, and here's the reason why
Jesus took my burdens all away
Now I'm singing as the days go by
Jesus took my burdens all away

Once my heart was heavy with a load of sin
Jesus took my load and gave me peace within
Now I'm singing as the days go by
Jesus took my burdens all away

No turning back, no turning back

ROLLED AWAY

Rolled away, rolled away, rolled away

Every burden of my heart rolled away

Tis the old-time Gospel, Tis the old-time Gospel

(It will take us all to Heaven)

THANK GOD I AM FREE

For a long time I traveled, down a long lonely road
My heart was so heavy, in sin I sank low
Then I heard about Jesus, what a wonderful hour.
I'm so glad that I found out, He would bring me out through His saving power

Like a bird out of prison, that's taking it's flight
Like a blind man that God, gave back his sight
Like the poor wretched beggar, That's found fortune and fame
I'm so glad that I found out, He would bring me our through his holy name

CHORUS

Thank God I am free, free, free
From this world of sin
Been washed in the blood of Jesus
Been born again
Hallelujah I'm saved, saved, saved
By His wonderful grace
I'm so glad that I found out, He would bring me out and show me the way
 

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD

For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son
To die on Calvary's tree, from sin to set Me free
Some day He's coming back, what glory that will be!
Wonderful His love to Me.

Once in the stillness, of that great midnight hour
I felt the presence of the Lord's saving power
Well I fell on my knees and, I cried to Him there
Oh merciful Savior, here this lost sinner's prayer
 

FATHER ABRAHAM

Father Abraham, had many sons
Many sons had father Abraham
You are one of them, and so am I
So let's just praise the Lord
Right hand, left hand (have kids twirl their hands in the air, right hand first, then left)

Father Abraham, had many sons
Many sons had father Abraham
You are one of them, and so am I
So let's just praise the Lord
