Where I Met Jesus
Words by Ray Boltz
Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
Bessie can still remember like it was yesterday
She watched her husband, Oliver, kneel in the church and pray
That was what she had been praying for
Still she was so surprised
Was that a glow upon his face or just the tears in her eyes
He'd always been a quiet man, everyone saw the change
Reaching to take a strangers hand asking to know their name
Sunday mornings they'd be in church
And after the pastor prayed
Year after year with a voice so dear
Bessie would hear him say
This is where I met Jesus
I heard Him calling my name
I was so glad to meet Him
He was so glad I came
Oh, how she misses Oliver now that she lives alone
One night while they were sound asleep
The angels took her love home
Oh, how she cried, there were no goodbyes
It seemed he was gone so soon
Then one night she heard his voice
When she walked into their room
Chorus (repeat)
Bessie...one day you'll do the same

What Are We Doing Here?
Music by Steve Millikan and Ray Boltz
Last days, big city
What a place to live
High rise accommodations are so executive
Real life, just around the corner
Take a walk around the block
Pass by a family in the alley
Sleeping in a paper box
What are we doing here
Do we spend our time waiting on Heaven
Should we pack our bags the moment were forgiven
Oh, there's a world that needs to know
Jesus loves them so
His commission seems quite clear
They say we are pilgrims
Just passing through
Strangers, in a strange land
That's me and you
One day we'll be up in Glory
Walking on streets of gold
But right now my feet are on the pavement
And I just want to know
Chorus 2X
Somebody tell me, somebody tell me now
I see a starving brother in a foreign land
I see a homeless child reaching out his hand
I see a world so angry I can feel the rage
I see city dying, filled with crack cocaine
I hear the lions roar, the tires squeal
A generation saying, What is real
If we know the truth, if we know the way
There ought to be something we can do or say
We need to make a stand, take a walk
Win this city, do it block by block
Stand up tall and preach it without fear
If we wont do it
What are we doing here?
