Loaves and Fishes: Songs From The Scriptures
Vol. I
All words & music (c)1979 by Jean J. Pederson
1.) Stand Still ( Ex.14:13 )
Stand still / praise the Lord / See the salvation of our God!
Stand still / praise the Lord / See the salvation of our God!
Keep calm, trust His Word,
If you holler, you will be heard.
Stand still / praise the Lord!
Down by the Red Sea, runnin' for cover,
People in a tight spot, just like you.
Pharoah on the one side, water on the other, well,
God told Moses what to do,
( He said) "Stand still..."
Everybody's got a Red Sea,
Everybody's got a Jericho town.
Do you want to see the waters parted?
Do you want to see the walls fall down?
(You just ) stand still...
You don't have to work for your salvation,
You don't have to sweat to get yourself free.
Jesus understands your situation,
God will fight your enemy!
(You just ) stand still...
Listen, child, He is not sleeping.
God's been keeping you in sight.
Stand up straight, and stop your weeping;
Everything is gonna be all right!
(You just ) stand still...
2.) I Will Be Your God ( Jer. 31:33-34)
There will come a time / when I will make a new covenant
With the house of Israel / and with the house of Judah.
(La, la, la la la , la la...)
Not like the covenant which I spoke
When I took your fathers by the hand.
Not like the covenant which they broke
When I led them out of Egypt's land.
Although I cared for them, I cared for them,
They did not care for me.
Now, I will make all things new:
I will put my law within your mind,
And I will write my law upon your heart.
I will be your God / and you shall be My people.
There shall be no further need
For neighbor to try to teach neighbor
Or brother to say to brother;
"Learn to know the Lord."
No, you will all know Me;
The least no less than the greatest.
It is the Lord who speaks.
Since I will forgive your iniquities,
And never call your sin to mind.
I will be your God,
And you shall be my people!
3.) Joshua (Josh. 1:4-9)
Haven't I been looking out for you?
Don't I always show you what to do?
Be strong, be brave, and never be afraid'
For the Lord your God is with you
Everywhere you go, everywhere you go.
It's all yours--from the desert to the mountain,
from the river to the sea.
It's all yours-- it all belongs to you because
It all belongs to Me.
All your life-- no one will be able to
Stand up to you.
All your life-- I will never fail you and I
Will not forsake you.
Haven't I been looking out for you?...
Just be strong--and you will see that
All of My promises come true.
Just be strong--and you will be surprised at
What I have planned for you.
Just be brave--and do exactly every last
Thing you hear Me say.
Just be brave-- and you will be alright if you
Follow all the way.
Havent I been looking out for you?...
4.) The Rising Of The Sun (Ps. 113:3-5)
From the rising of the sun
Unto the going down of the same,
The Lord's Name is to be praised, praised, praised.
The Lord is high above all nations,
And His glory above the heavens.
From the rising of the sun...
Who is like unto the Lord
Our God, Who dwelleth on high?
From the rising of the sun...
