BONDS OF EARTH Many years we were as one Walking hand in hand Now I must leave you here I go to the Promised Land Soon our Lord will come for you We'll not be apart for long On the Streets of Gold we'll meet And together we'll sing God's song A mansion for us Christ has prepared I know His promise is true Soon He'll come for you and me But still, we've His work to do And then in the Sweet By and By Where the Jordan meets the Crystal Sea Christ waits with open arms The bonds of earth to free So my love, grieve not for me For together we have Eternity Christ paid the price, you see And together forever we'll be Grandville (Bud) Kelley copyright 2001	ONE SOUL MISSING As the years slip away In this sin filled earth Are there those I did not tell Of the Savior's birth? Did I deny You Lord When I could have said "Let me tell you of Jesus" Are there those I could have led? I ask of You dear Lord The words that I might say To those who know You not That they might find the Way Did I turn my back, O Lord On someone seeking Thee? Send them back dear Savior That I might tell them of Thee And when in Heaven I stand Let it not be asked of me "There's one soul missing here" "Was it because of thee"?

BOUNDLESS LOVE "Father forgive them They know not what they do" This was our Lord's cry that day As He made the Scriptures ring true The crown of thorns He wore Our Jesus the Nazarene As He gave His life's blood To cleanse and make us clean As the spear pierced His side Soldiers cast lots for His robe They did not know as yet Our Savior's glory to unfold Oh Precious Savior, Redeemer Divine You took the blame You bore the shame Of this sin filled life of mine Your forgiveness is forever Your love is not bound In you, O Lamb of God Eternal peace I have found Copyright Granville (Bud) Kelley 2001	THE REUNION Someday my soul will soar Upward to realms unknown O wondrous and glorious day When Christ will claim His own All sickness and pain will flee The Savior will take my hand As He leads me Home Home to the Promised Land Blessed Savior, Redeemer Divine Soon I'll leave this earthly clime Lifted upward by Your grace And I shall see You face to face And where the River Jordan Flows to the Crystal Sea I will meet the Savior As He takes me to Eternity And so my dear friends For loved ones you have lost Rejoice, soon you'll be together For Christ has paid the cost Copyright Granville (Bud) Kelley 2002
GOD'S FORGIVENESS When the world is pressing in And you feel there is no way Place your hand in Jesus' hand He will guide you through the day Christ will give to you A joy you've never known A peace that passes all understanding A love which never leaves you alone I see a Stream of Grace Which flows from Calvary I feel Christ's forgiveness Freely given for you and me The grave could not hold Him Nor can it hold you If in Christ you put your trust Your life will begin anew He could have called ten thousand angels From the cross to set Him free But He chose to die alone Chose to die for you and me Granville (Bud) Kelley © 2002	THE RISEN LAMB We live in the light of the Risen Lamb Protected and loved by The Great I Am No more night, only day Sing praises aloud, He is coming again Our Lord and Savior has promised He will never leave us alone We are His dear children And soon He will take us Home What blessed assurance we have From Jesus Christ our King To know He loves and forgives us To Him, all adoration we bring We are His, bought and paid for By His death at Calvary Walking with Him day by day We walk on to Eternity Lord, grant us boldness To tell the world of Thee Open all their eyes dear Lord That Your love they might see Granville Kelley © 2002
THROUGH HIS EYES I have been asked oft times Where is the Crystal Sea? It can be anywhere my friend Wherever you want it to be It can be at Calvary Where the Savior died for you and me Or it can be in your heart As Christ from your sins, sets you free It can flow from the River Jordan Where the Savior was baptized Or it can be God's beauty As you view it through His eyes It may be the sea we sail When Christ takes us by the hand As we go to realms unknown On our way to the Promised Land So my loved ones No matter where the Crystal Sea It always flows with God's love Bringing salvation to you and me Granville (Bud) Kelley copyright 2001	WHISPER OF THE WIND Come with me to the garden Where He knelt and prayed As the hours of His life Slowly slipped away Kneel at the cross on that day Where the Lamb of God did die Nailed to the cross by human sin And belief in Satan's great lie Now come with me to the tomb Where the stone is rolled away He's gone, Praise God, It's empty Our Lord they could not slay Hear the whisper of the wind As His presence passes by Jesus Christ, Son of God Ruler of Earth and Sky Now He ascends into Heaven >From the shore of the Crystal Sea But soon he's coming back Coming back for you and me Granville (Bud) Kelley Copyright 2001
OUR EVERLASTING LIGHT In the midst of the storm He will bring you peace In the time of strife He will calm your life And when the night is long And you wait for the morning light In your heart, sing His song Of the Everlasting Light When at last comes the dawn And you begin your day Seek God's face and honor Him Go on your knees and pray Jesus Savior, Lord, and King My all in all to You I bring Knowing what You did for me When You died at Calvary Lord, let me live my life That others might see My Lord and Savior Living in me Granville (Bud)Kelley (Copyright 2001)	COMING AGAIN Christ is coming again Although we know not when Jesus Christ, our Savior Redeemer of all men It may be in the Winter It may be in the Fall It may be in the Springtime That we'll hear the Savior's call We must be ready And forgiven of all sin We must open our hearts And invite the Lord in We will rise upon His wings As we lift to realms unknown We will hear the angels sing And see the Lord upon His throne O blessed day of His coming When we will see Him face to face The Victor over sin and death The One who took our place.

HEAVEN'S GLORY If the Lord should come today And take me to my Home Would I want to go away? Oh yes, no more to roam If He said "It's time My child" And took me by the hand Would I want to go with Him Oh yes, to the Promised Land And then I'd go to realms unknown Beyond the Crystal Sea To a place with Streets of Gold A place prepared for me So let God's trumpets sound Let Heaven's gates open wide I'll start my beautiful journey With my Savior at my side So come Lord Jesus, even so come now Your throne at last I see And the cross in all its' glory Brings Eternal Peace to me Granville (Bud) Kelley copyright 2001	CROWN OF THORNS O Christ, the pain your bore The shame that You did bear As into Your innocent hands The spikes of Satan did tear The circle of thorns You wore With hate, they called it Your crown The thorns imbedded in Your brow The blood from Your side flowing down And how the skies wept that day For the Lamb of God was slain Alone and dying on the cross Forgiveness of sin was man's gain The story did not end that day Upon the cruel cross The resurrection of our Lord The burden of sin our loss Anxiously now, we await the day When Christ will claim His own As He offers His nail scarred hand And comes to take us Home Granville (Bud) Kelley copyright 2002
Faith In God In this day and age Of terror and dismay We place our faith in God We know He'll show the way The young will go to fight The old stay home and pray Would God I were young again That I might join the fray Yet my day has come and gone That I might fight the foe Send me Lord where you will And I will surely go But if by Your will,dear Lord My travels might be oer Then I obey your will Till we meet at Heaven's door So stay at home I will And pray for those who fight For soon we'll sing God's victory song Giving thanks to His righteous might Copyright Granville (Bud) Kelley 2002	FOOTSTEPS OF THE LORD When we say We're to tired to pray Was Christ to tired To bear the cross that day? When we say To church we can not go Did Christ say the same When at Calvary His blood did flow? When the sick we do not visit And our love does not seem real Did Jesus the leper pass by The day He stopped to heal? And do we mourn with those Whose loved ones they have lost And do we try to comfort them No matter what the cost? Yes my friends, we must walk In the footsteps of our Lord Loving and forgiving others In the way of the Savior we adore Copyright 2001 Granville Kelley
CHIMES OF HEAVEN When we get to Heaven What a day that will be When with our loved ones Our Savior we shall see That I will see His radiant face Tis always a wonder to me That I am worthy to be with Him This Jesus of Galilee We'll walk the Streets of Gold As we hear the angels sing We'll visit with friends of long ago While the Chimes of Heaven ring We'll sit on the shores of the Crystal Sea A place God has prepared for you and me We'll sing of Christ and His glory As He tells us the old, old story Come and share Heaven with me Reach out and take Christ's hand Open your heart to Him And together, we'll share Eternity Copyright Granville Kelley 2002
