Three Angels Broadcasting Network is proud to present an evening with the Heritage Singers.
I'll fly away to a land where joy shall never end.
I'll fly away, I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away.
When I die, hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away. I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away.
When I die, hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away. I'll fly away.
He washed my eyes with tears that I might see.
The broken heart I had was good for me.
He tore it all apart and looked inside. He found it full of fear and foolish pride.
He swept away the things that made me blind.
And then I saw the clouds were silver lined. And now I understand it was best for me.
He washed my eyes with tears that I might see.
I saw the marks of shame and wept and cried. He was my substitute. For me he died.
And now I'm glad he came so tenderly.
He washed my eyes with tears that I might see.
When I turned to you, you were always waiting.
With a heart that understands before I speak.
And I learned from you all that really matters. Though a million years go by, you'll still love me.
I no longer look for a place to hide, cause I know where I belong.
When I turn to you, when I turn to you, when I turn to you dear lord, I know that I love you.
When I turn to you, you were watching over me.
Through the eyes that looked beyond the faults I see.
And I learned from you, you were always merciful.
Though I remember all that you've forgiven me.
I no longer look for a place to hide, cause I know where I belong.
When I turn to you, when I turn to you, when I turn to you dear lord, I know that I love you.
I no longer look for a place to hide, cause I know where I belong.
When I turn to you, when I turn to you, when I turn to you dear lord, I know that I love you.
When I turn to you dear lord, I know that I love you.

We're going to sing some of the old songs of the 70s.
See if you remember this.
This could happen any day.
When God's people humble themselves and call on Jesus.
And they look to heaven expecting as they pray.
I just feel like something good is about to happen.
And brother this could be. My brother. Brother this could be. My sister.
This could be that very day.
Let's just praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Let's just lift our hearts toward heaven and praise the Lord.
Let's just praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Let's just lift our hearts toward heaven and praise the Lord.
Something beautiful. Something good.
Oh my confusion. He understood.
All I had to offer him was brokenness and strife.
But he made something beautiful of my life.
Yes he made something beautiful of my life.
I've been a lot of places and I've seen a lot of faces.
And there were times I felt so all alone.
But in those lonely hours, yes those precious lonely hours.
Jesus told me that I still was one of his own.
So do it all. Do it all.
Oh I learned to trust in Jesus. Learned to trust in God.
Do it all. Do it all.
Oh I learned to depend upon his word.
I'm rich. I'm free. I want to tell the world that I'm happy I got Jesus right here in my heart.
I'm alive and living all because I'm forgiven. I got Jesus right here in my heart.
I love the thrill that I feel when I get together with God's wonderful people.
What a sight just to see all the happy faces. Praising God in heavenly places. What a thrill and a feel when I get together with God's wonderful people.
Plenty of room in the family. Room for the young and the old.
Plenty of happiness. Plenty of love. Plenty of room in the fold. Plenty of room in the family. Room for the young and the old.
Plenty of happiness. Plenty of love. Plenty of room in the fold.
I'm so glad I'm a part of the family of God. I've been washed in the fountain cleansed by his blood.
Join us with Jesus as we travel this sun for I'm part of the family, the family of God.
You will notice we say brothers and sisters around here, well it's because we're a family and these folks are so near.
When one has a heartache we all shed a tear and rejoice in his victory with this family so dear.
I'm so glad I'm a part of the family of God. I've been washed in the fountain cleansed by his blood.
Join us with Jesus as we travel this sun for I'm part of the family, the family of God.
We have been given such a precious gift in salvation. You know so many times we feel as though we have to act a certain way or walk a certain way or talk a certain way before we can come to the Lord.
But you know that's not what it's about. Jesus Christ came so that we could have life in him.
He asked us to come to him exactly as we are with all of our ugliness, all of our problems, all of our fears.
He asked us to just lay those at his feet and allow him to walk with us through life.
I accepted the Lord into my life when I was four years old and you know I accepted it with the innocence of a child.
I knew that Jesus Christ was real and I knew I wanted him to be my friend.
And as I've grown up through life I've learned more about him but I realize there is so much more to learn.
Christ has given me joy. He's given me peace that passes all understanding in the midst of situations where humanly I should have fallen apart.
My prayer for you is that you know my Savior, that you meet him and that you build a relationship with him.
He is such an awesome God and he has so much for you and he wants you exactly as you are.
I promise you that in the strength of Jesus Christ you can do anything.
And at the moment when you are the very weakest, that's when Christ is the strongest.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
In midst a hustling, clamoring world, sometimes hard to hear the voice of God speaking to my soul.
But in my quiet time alone when I approach his holy throne, his tender words fall gently on my ears.
He still speaks.
I know his voice.
Sweeter sounds never heard by mortal ear.
And to think that God by his own choice would speak to me, it makes me rejoice.
He still speaks.
I know his voice.
There are so many who still doubt that God can speak today.
They laugh and mock when we say we've heard from God.
Yet the still small voice of God is heard above the doubters of this world.
His timeless words ring out with hope today.
He still speaks.
I know his voice.
Sweeter sounds never heard by mortal ear.
And to think that God by his own choice would speak to me, it makes me rejoice.
He still speaks.
I know his voice.
I will never be the same again.
I can never return.
I close the door.
I will walk the path.
I'll run the race.
And I will never be the same again.
I will never be the same again.
I can never return.
I close the door.
I will walk the path.
I'll run the race.
And I will never be the same again.
Fall like fire, soak like rain.
Flow like mighty waters, again and again.
Sweep away the darkness.
Burn away the chaff and let a flavor to glorify your name.
Their high and highs, their deep and sweet.
Whatever you need to do, Lord, do with me.
The glory of God fills my life.
And I will never be the same again.
Fall like fire, soak like rain.
Flow like mighty waters, again and again.
Sweep away the darkness.
Burn away the chaff and let a flavor to glorify your name.
Fall like fire, soak like rain.
Flow like mighty waters, again and again.
Sweep away the darkness.
Burn away the chaff and let a flavor to glorify your name.
Fall like fire, soak like rain.
Flow like mighty waters, again and again.
Sweep away the darkness.
Burn away the chaff and let a flavor to glorify your name.
I will never be the same again.
I can never return.
I have closed the door.
I will walk the path.
I'll run the race.
And I will never be the same again.
Now when the rich and the poor get together with the low,
when they all get together, get together with the Lord,
they will treat each other like sister and brother,
when they all get together with the Lord.
When they all get together, when they all get together with the Lord.
They will treat each other like sister and brother,
when they all get together with the Lord.
Now when the tall and the small get together with the Lord,
get together, get together with the Lord.
Well the weak are no longer afraid of the stronger,
when they all get together with the Lord.
Well when we all get together, when we all get together with the Lord.
Well we will treat each other like sister and brother,
when we all get together with the Lord.
God has no favorites, he just loves us all the same.
His son died to save us and to keep us in his name.
And soon we'll rise to meet him and forever we will reign and we will sing,
sing, sing, sing, sing.
Now when we all get together, when we all get together with the Lord.
Well we will treat each other like sister and brother,
when we all get together with the Lord, with the Lord.
Learning to lean, learning to lean.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Learning to lean, learning to lean.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Said, brokenhearted, at an altar I knelt.
I found peace that was so serene.
And all that he asks is a childlike trust and a heart that is learning to lean.
Learning to lean, learning to lean.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Learning to lean, learning to lean.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Finding more power than I've ever dreamed.
I'm learning to lean on Jesus.
Shackled by a heavy burden,
Knee the load of guilt and shame.
Then the hand of Jesus touched me.
And now I am no longer the same.
He touched me, oh, He touched me.
And all the joy that floods my soul.
Something happened, and now I know.
He touched me, and made me whole.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
There's just something about that name.
Master, Savior, Jesus.
Like a fragrance after the rain.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
Let all hurt and life proclaim.
Dreams and kingdoms shall all pass away.
But there's something about that name.
I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender.
They're leading me in paths that I must run.
I have no fear when Jesus walks beside me.
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.
So let the storm drain time, the dark clouds rise.
They don't worry me, for I'm sheltered safe
within the arms of God. He walks with me, and none of Earth shall harm me.
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.
Oh yes, I'm sheltered in the arms of God.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know, He holds a future.
And life is worth a living just because He lives.
My Jesus lives.
There is coming a day when no heartache shall come.
No more clouds in the sky. No more tears to dim the eye.
All is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore.
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see.
When I look upon His face, the one who saved me by His grace.
When He takes me by the hand and leads me to the promised land.
What a day, glorious day that will be.
There'll be no sorrows there. No more burdens to bear.
No more sickness and no more pain. No more hurting over there.
Then forever I will be with the one who died for me.
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see.
When I look upon His face, the one who saved me by His grace.
When He takes me by the hand and leads me to the promised land.
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see.
When I look upon His face, the one who saved me by His grace.
When He takes me by the hand and leads me to the promised land.
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day that will be.
All to Jesus I surrender all. To Him my freely give.
I will ever love and trust Him in His presence daily in.
I surrender all. I surrender all.
All to Thee my blessed Savior I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender.
Come, we at the sea, I bow. Worldly pleasures all forsaken. Take me, Jesus, take me now.
I surrender all. I surrender all.
All to Thee my blessed Savior I surrender all.
I surrender all.
You know, friends, when you think of the word surrender, in battle it seems like the thing that a coward would do.
But in the Christian walk it's the best thing that anyone can do. I know that personally.
Living in New York City, being raised where I thought I was making choices that would benefit my own life.
But what I came to discover is that every choice I made pushed me further and further away from the Lord.
Yet when I thought about giving my heart to Jesus Christ, I thought I was giving up everything that was good.
To do something that would be boring. To do something that would take away what I thought was joy.
But I never forget the day that Jesus broke through that barrier that I put up and came into my heart and came into my life.
And I finally understood what Jesus meant when he said, not my will, but Thine be done.
And so, friends, if you are struggling today to give up and surrender, you're not giving up anything good.
But by surrendering to Jesus, you're gaining everything good.
No one would have told me then that I would be preaching the Gospel now.
But it all began when I surrendered my life to Christ.
And so right there as you listen to the words of the songs that we sang today,
maybe you're thinking about where to draw the line between your life and the life that Jesus has for you.
The best decision you can make is to surrender it all to Jesus Christ.
Why don't you do that today and make the best decision of your life?
Christ is waiting there for you to come in.
I dream of a city called glory.
It was so bright and so fair.
As I entered the gates, I cried, Holy, Holy,
The angels all met me there.
Then they carried me from mansion to mansion and always all the sights that I saw.
But then I said, I want to see my Jesus.
For he's the one who died for us all.
I bowed on my knees and cried, Holy, Holy, Holy.
I clapped my hands and said, Glory, Glory to the Son of God.
Glory to the Son of God.
As I entered the gates of that city, my loved ones, they all knew me so well.
They took me down the streets of heaven.
I say the sights there, there too many, too many to tell.
And I saw Abraham, I saw Isaac, I spotted Jacob, had a talk with Martha,
Then with Timothy, then I said, Timothy, I want to see Jesus,
The one who died for me.
I bowed on my knees and cried, Holy, Holy, I cried, Holy, Holy,
I clapped my hands and said, Glory, Glory, Glory,
I clapped my hands and said, Glory, Glory, I clapped my hands and said, Glory,
I clapped my hands and said, Glory, Glory, Glory to the Son of God.
Glory to the Son of God.
I bowed on my knees and cried, Holy, Holy, I clapped my hands and said,
Glory, Glory, Glory to the Son of God.
I bowed on my knees and cried, Holy, Glory, Glory, Glory to the Son of God.
