Old Country Faith: Beautiful Bluegrass & Mountain GospelAdded:
[music] [music] [music] [music] >> The spirit led me down [music] to the bottom of the deep where the forgotten generations lay in heavy sleep. [music] I looked across the valley.
It was barren, dry, and white [music] without a single spark of hope without [music] a real light.
Just the dust of broken promises [music and singing] scattered on the ground.
>> [music] >> The Maker asked me, "Can these weary, broken [music] bones awake?"
I SAID, "LORD, only you know [music and singing] the power you can make."
HE SAID, "STAND UPON the rock and prophesy unto the wind. [music and singing] Tell the four corners of the earth to [music] blow it back again [singing] and breathe a fire of the living [singing] into the silent mound."
>> [music] >> Oh, [singing] let the breath come blowing through the valley [music] today.
Let the heavy stone of sorrow >> [music] >> be rolled [singing] away. Hear the rattling in the shadows.
See the army rise >> [music] >> and stand. We awaken from the slumber.
>> [music] >> We are marching [singing] through the land. Yes, let the breath come [music and singing] blowing through the valley today.
>> [music] >> I spoke the holy word >> [music] >> and the earth began to shake.

>> [music] >> BONE CAME together to its BONE AND FLESH UPON THE SKIN.
>> [music] >> BUT THERE WAS NO BREATH OF HEAVEN blowing deep within.
>> [music] >> So I called upon the spirit to come and make them whole.
Then a mighty rushing wind came down from the mountain high.
IT SWEPT ACROSS THE valley under the open sky.
THE FALLEN ONES stood up upon their feet, a mighty host filled with the POWER [screaming] OF THE FATHER and the Holy Ghost.
With a song of resurrection [singing] burning in their soul.
Oh, let the breath come blowing [music and singing] on through the valley today.
Let the heavy stone of sorrow >> [music] >> be rolled [singing] away. Hear the rattling in the shadows. [music] See the army rise and stand. We awaken from the slumber.
We [music] are marching [singing] through the land. Yes, let the breath >> [music] >> through the valley today.
Breathe on me >> [music] >> wind of the Lord. [singing] RISE UP AND stand by the power of the word.
>> [music] >> From the dust to [singing] the glory from the dark to the light >> [music] >> the army is ready walking [singing] into the fight.
Oh, let the breath come blowing [music and singing] on through the valley Through the VALLEY TODAY.

[music] We are marching [singing] through the land. Yes, let the breath come blowing through the valley [music] today.
THE ARMY [screaming] RISE and stand marching through [music and singing] the land.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> There's a dark cloud gathering heavy overneath the mountain crest and the cold [singing] wind through the valley puts this weary [singing] soul to test.
I [music] have stumbled [singing] in the shadows.
I have walked [music and singing] the jagged line.
When the thunder rolls like iron and the rain [singing] begins to pour [music] I will look unto [singing] the heavens like the faithful [music and singing] ones before.
For the Lord has [singing] made a promise to this fragile [singing] heart of mine.
Oh, I find my shelter in the pines where [singing and music] the love of Jesus always shines.
Though the [singing] angry storm is raging he will hold [music and singing] me through the night >> [music] >> safe and peaceful in his holy [singing] light.
>> [singing] [music] [music] >> Let the world spin in its worry.
Let the mighty rivers rise.
I have built my firm foundation [music] where the quiet [singing] valley lies.
And when morning breaks the darkness >> [music] >> I will leave the night behind.
Oh, I find my shelter in the pines >> [music] >> where [singing] the love of Jesus always shines.
Though the angry storm is raging [music] he will [singing] hold me through the night >> [music] >> safe and peaceful in his holy light.
>> [music] [music] >> Safe [music] and peaceful in his light.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> I remember [singing] the days of the bitter and the dry, dusty bread, when I wondered [singing] if the spirit of the faithful [music] would ever be fed. [singing] I wandered through the barren [singing] hills [music] with a hunger in my bones, feeling like a stranger [music] in a world [singing] that wasn't my home.
>> [music] >> But now the master has called me to come >> [music] >> and take a seat.
He has spread a wide linen over the mountains' key.
With a word of comfort [music] for the humble >> [singing] >> and the weak.
There is no more searching [music and singing] for a drop of water in the sand.
For the cup is overflowing in the hollow of His hand.
And the fruit of [music and singing] the Spirit is tasting so miraculously sweet. Oh, come [music and singing] and gather 'round the table of plenty today. [singing and music] The hungry and the thirsty [music] have finally passed away.
We are feasting [music and singing] on the mercy. We are drinking of the grace in the light and the beauty >> [music] >> of the master's holy face. [singing] Yes, come and gather 'round [music] the table [singing] of plenty today.
>> [music] [music] >> The enemies who chased me are now standing far outside, >> [music] >> while I'm resting in the safety where the holy ones [music and singing] abide.
He has poured the oil of gladness on my tired and weary head >> [singing] >> and given me the portion [music] of the everlasting bread [singing] until the [music] satisfaction of my spirit is [music] completely complete.
So, let the brothers and the sisters join their voices in a song. [music] For the family of the righteous is where we [music] all belong. There is room for every wanderer.
There is room for every soul [music] in the kingdom of the mercy that has made the broken [singing] whole and the celebration [music] of the ages is sounding in the street.

But I am standing [music] steady in the middle of the fight.
For I have found a [music and singing] dwelling place where the wicked cannot [music] trade.
I don't feel the terror creeping >> [music] >> in the middle of the night.
I don't feel the pestilence that withers all the light. For I have made THE MOST [music] HIGH MY refuge and my stay. He has sent His holy fire [music] to clear my lonely [singing] way and place the crown of mercy on this [music] weary, weathered head.
Oh, I am [music] resting in the shadow of the almighty King.

Let the thunder roll like iron. Let the heavy waters [music] rise.
I am looking at the glory with these tired and hopeful eyes. Yes, I am resting in the shadow [music] of the almighty King.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> He has given angels charge to keep me in my path, to lift me from the valley and the harvest of the [music and singing] wrath. I will tread upon the lion.
I will walk upon the snake with a faith that's built on water [music] that the world can never break. For I have set my love [singing] on Him [music] and my spirit has been filled.
>> [music] >> Oh, >> [singing] >> I can hear the trumpet sounding.
I can feel the holy wind blowing through the branches, [music] washing every trace of sin. I am calling on the name and the name is answering [music] me, setting every captive of the dark and dusty [music and singing] prison free.
And leading me to Zion [music and singing] where the living word is bread.

>> [music] >> Hidden in the shadow, [music and singing] safe within the wings.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> I have sailed across [singing] the waters of the bitter raging [music] sea.
I have felt the heavy tempest try to take the life from [music and singing] me.
I was battered by the hurricane, broken [singing] by the gale. [music] With a shattered piece of timber and a torn [music] and heavy sail.
But the maker pulled me safely to the everlasting [music and singing] shore.
Now I'm standing on [singing] the edges of a pure [music] and holy deep.
Where the water is a mirror and the heavy waters sleep.
Not a [music] single [singing] wave of sorrow, not a ripple of the past.
[singing] Just a perfect peace [music] of heaven that is finally going to last.
[music] And the glory [singing] of the Father is reflected in [music] the floor.
I'm walking on the sea of glass >> [music] >> today.
Every heavy wave of sorrow has been smoothed [music] and washed away.
There's a fire mingled [singing] in [music] it, but it doesn't burn my feet.
For the victory [singing] of the maker [music] is completely now complete. Yes, I am walking [music] on the sea [singing] of glass today.
>> [music] [music] >> I can look into [music] the crystal and I see the scars I [singing] bore, but they don't contain the stinging or the hurting anymore.
They are painted in the beauty of the sacrificial lamb [singing] who has held me in the hollow of the great [singing] and great I Am.
>> [music] >> And the choir of >> [singing] >> the ages is assembling [music] on the tide.
I can see [singing] the faithful [music] standing with the harps of solid gold, singing out the song of Moses that the prophets had foretold.
They have overcome the dragon. They have overcome [music and singing] the beast.
And they're walking across [music and singing] the water to the everlasting feast.
With the king of all [music and singing] creation walking right beside.
Oh, I am walking [music and singing] on the sea of glass today.

>> [music] >> I left the valley [singing] of the shadows >> [music] >> and the heavy clouded mind. I left the vanity [singing] and silver [music] of the world so far behind.
I put my hand upon the plow and I started up the hill trying to [music] find [singing] the quiet center of my Father's holy [music and singing] will.
And the Lord is my companion on this dusty [singing] mountain road.
>> [music] >> The path is thin and [singing] narrow and the rocks are sharp and gray.
[music] And I know the worldly travelers [music] would never [singing] choose this way.
But I can hear a distant ringing of a golden holy bell.
And it's telling [music] me [singing] story that my spirit knows so well. How the almighty [singing and music] hand is helping me to carry every load.
[music] Oh, Jesus is the rock where I plant my [music and singing] weary feet.
Through the winter wind of sorrow [music] and the summer's heavy [singing] heat.
My Savior is the lantern [singing] when the mountain trail is dim. [music] And every breath inside [singing] my body is a mountain hymn to Him.
>> [music] >> Yes, I'm walking with my [singing] Redeemer on the narrow, holy trail.
>> [music] [music] >> I remember when I stumbled [music] and I fell into [singing] the deep.
When the promises I made were just too [music] hard for me to keep.
But the Lord reached down His hand [music] through the laurel and the pine.
And He whispered, "Child, remember [singing] that [music] your spirit still is mine."
And He washed away the starlight and He gave [music and singing] me back the sun.
So, let the thunder [music and singing] roll across the peaks of Tennessee. [music] For the King of all the heavens is [music and singing] a walking next to me. No more looking at the shadows.

[music] Now my hands are getting calloused [music] and my hair is turning [singing] gray.
>> [music] >> And I know I'm getting closer to the ending of [music and singing] the day.
But I have a little [music and singing] work before the setting of >> [music] >> the sun.
I am kneeling in the dirt and I am digging [singing] in the clay [music] to plant a holy promise that will never fade [music] away.
[singing] For the ones who follow after >> [music] >> for the ones I may not see. [singing] >> [music] >> I am burying a TREASURE AT THE BOTTOM >> [singing] >> of the [music] tree.
So, the harvest will be [singing] ready when the [music] wintertime is done.
Oh, we are planting the seeds >> [music] >> for the children to [singing] grow.
In the heat of the summer >> [music] >> and the bitter winter's snow.

And a holy quiet presence came [music and singing] walking down the hill.
Speaking [music] [singing] peace into the sorrow of a weary troubled mind.
The world [singing] is always shouting [music] with a heavy bitter noise.
But the lord of all creation has a gentle [music and singing] saving voice. It's a melody of mercy [music] that the broken [singing] understand.
When the king of every nation [singing] reaches [music] out a healing hand. And the savior [singing] leaves the 99 [music] to go and find the blind.
Oh, hear the gospel whisper [singing] blowing through the Appalachian [music] pine.
Where the love of Jesus [singing] makes the darkest valley shine.

When the savior took the burden on [music] the rugged [singing] wooden tree.
So, let the valleys all listen.
And let the mountains be at peace.
When the lord begins to whisper, all the heavy trouble cease. I will follow my [singing] redeemer [music] where the living waters flow.

But the lord [music] is standing in the midst upon the other [music and singing] side.
With a hand of mercy reaching out across the [music] rising [singing] tide.
And a covenant of glory that the almighty's going [singing and music] to keep.

>> [music] >> They tried to build their kingdoms [music] in the mud and [singing] in the clay.

And he built [singing] a holy [music] fortress that is bathed in golden light.
>> [music] >> A sanctuary shining for the blind to find their [singing and music] sight.
Oh, we are marching >> [music] >> to the city on a hill where the wind is quiet and the [music] water is still.

I can see the pilgrims coming >> [music] >> from the east and from the west laying down their heavy burdens to enter into rest.
The lantern of the spirit [music] is burning [singing] pure and bright chasing out the final heavy [singing] remnants of the [music] night.
And [singing] the joy of the righteous is raining gently down.

The gathering of the blessed.
>> [music] [music] >> No more tares among the [music] wheat.
No more briars in the field.
Every [singing] promise [music] that was spoken has finally been [singing] revealed.
I will lay my heavy basket [music] at the feet of Zion's king while the angels [music] and the elders [singing] and the mountain spirits sing.
Where the water's [music] always a living [singing] and the spirit is unseen.
I can hear the wagons rolling.
I can feel the holy wind blowing [music] through the valley washing every [singing] trace of sin.
