Heaven's 9-1-1
Eddie Degarmo - Feels Good To Be Forgiven - © 1988
I was feelin' wired
I was downright tired
When I was only seventeen
I thought this whole world
Was made of cars and girls
I was a victim of that scene
Knew I had to change
Had to rearrange
Or I would see an early grave
Then a friend of mine
Sat and took the time
He said the Lord could make the save
I called Emergency
And He answered me
On Heaven's 9*1*1
Just about to drop
Knew I had to stop
When I got down on my knees
Like a lightning bolt
A two-twenty jolt
I could feel the electricity
And at once I knew
That my call gone through
I didn't even use the phone
And ther I heard the voice
With a thunderous noice
Say it's good that you phoned home
I called Emergency
And He answered me
On Heaven's 9*1*1
Stayin' On The High Road
Eddie Degarmo - Feels Good To Be Forgiven - © 1988
There's a high road I follow
It goes for miles and miles
Made for weary pilgrims
Who stay on earth a while
I don't care what I leave behind
On this kind of highway
There ain't no slow-down sign
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
This old world's never gonna hold me down
Like a weight in my pocket
A millstone round my neck
The worries of a lifetime
Can cause a man to wreck
And if I stall on a steep incline
I can call on to Jesus
To help me make the climb
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
This old world's never gonna hold me down
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
This old world's never gonna hold me down
Sometimes a misty rain
Falls through the night
The Lord can always help you
Find the center line
On the high road
And I don't care what I leave behind
On this kind of highway
There ain't no slow-down sign
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
There ain't nothing gonna hold me down
Stayin' on the high road
On a road that's glory bound
Stayin' on the high road
This old world's never gonna hold me
This old world's never gonna hold me down down
Stayin' on the high road
Stayin' on the high road
Stayin' on the high road
Feels Good To Be Forgiven

Sunday morning in my neighborhood
No matter where you look
People gather while the church bell rings
Listen and hear' em sing
Oh feels good
This whole world they just look and laugh
They don't know where it's at
There's a party like they've never seen
In Heaven for you and me
Oh feels good to be forgiven
Oh feels good to be forgiven
If you ain't sure you can sing along
Look down deep 'cause
Something's very wrong Oh feels good to be forgiven
We got laundry like all the rest
But we're forgiven, we're so blessed
Jesus proved it and I have found
You can't keep a good man down
Oh feels good to be forgiven
Oh feels good to be forgiven
If you ain't sure you can sing along
Look down deep 'cause
Something's very wrong Oh feels good to be forgiven
Oh feels good to be forgiven
Pickin' Up The Pieces
Eddie Degarmo - Feels Good To Be Forgiven - © 1988
There's a man on the edge of town
Who runs a salvage yard
He will take what nobody wants
He knows there's nothing too far gone
He can't make like new
Seems to me the Lord above
Deals in salvage too
He's pickin' up the pieces
There's a time in everybody's life
They feel they stand alone
Everyday there's another storm
That chills them to the bone
When this world is through with you
It'll leave you torn apart
I know that Jesus' specialty
Is fixing broken hearts
He's pickin' up the pieces
He's pickin' up the pieces
Pickin' up the pieces of a brokenhearted world
He knows there's nothing too far gone
He can't make like new
Seems to me the Lord above
Deals in salvage too
He's pickin' up the pieces
He's pickin' up the pieces
Pickin' up the pieces of a brokenhearted world
Turn On Heaven's Power
Eddie Degarmo - Feels Good To Be Forgiven - © 1988
I confess it
I am guilty
No better that the rest
I admit it
I got problems
And sometimes I'm depressed
I got a ticket out of here
I know just what to do
Jesus said on days like this
You gotta pray it through
You gotta
Turn on heaven's power
Turn on that guiding light
Turn on heaven's power
It will be alright
Hard to see it
All the reasons
When thunder knocks at my door
I remember
All the heartache
He has felt before
He understands when I'm hurtin'
'Cause He has been there too
Like Jesus in the Garden
You gotta pray through
You gotta
Turn on heaven's power
Turn on that guiding light
Turn on heaven's power
It will be alright
'Cause I got a ticket out of here
I know just what to do
Jesus said on days like this
You gotta pray it through
You gotta
Turn on heaven's power
Turn on that guiding light
Turn on heaven's power
It will be alright
Turn on heaven's power
Turn on that guiding light
Turn on heaven's power
It will be al - It will be al- It will be alright
Turn on heaven's power
Turn on that guiding light
Turn on heaven's power
It will be alright
Goodbye Mr. Heartache
Eddie Degarmo - Feels Good To Be Forgiven - © 1988
There's a new day that's coming
And all God's people know
Soon the Lord's gonna carry us away
Even though I struggle through it
I can have it good down here
'Cause I can touch His kingdom everyday
So goodbye Mr. Heartache
Goodbye, Mr. Blue
I've got no time to worry
I've got no time for you
Goodbye
When a sick man sees a doctor
When he's feelin' down
He's got to take the medecine prescribed
Like a doctor heals the body
The Lord can heal the soul
He can turn the agony aside
Yes, He can
So goodbye Mr. Heartache
Goodbye, Mr. Blue
I've got no time to worry
I've got no time for you
Goodbye
Goodbye
I don't want to sound too trite
When heartache wants to box with you
The Lord will knock out his lights
So goodbye Mr. Heartache
Goodbye, Mr. Blue
I've got no time to worry
I've got no time for you
Goodbye Mr. Heartache
Goodbye, Mr. Blue
I've got no time to worry
I've got other things to do
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Thank you

Lord can you help me
The alarm has made its sound
Lord can you help me
The morning has come around
I don't pray for tomorrow
All I see is now
Lord can you show me
To learn to love somehow
What I need you've promised me
So all I want to say
Thank you, thank you
Thank you for another day
Thank you, thank you

Lord it's so easy to face the world asleep
Lord it's so easy to stay in bed a week
When I face the mirror
Can you see it too
I said, Lord, you've got true love
To love me through and through
What I need you've promised me
So all I want to say
Thank you, thank you
Thank you for another day

I Believe
Eddie Degarmo - Feels Good To Be Forgiven - © 1988
On the eve on creation
Before the first second of time
The Father, Son and the Spirit
Decided they would make mankind
And God knew 'fore He started
Man would need a helping hand
They paved a way for salvation
Jesus made the perfect plan
I believe (Oh I believe)
Oh, I believe
I believe (Oh I believe)
Oh, I believe
It's simple as that
Some put their faith in Jesus
They're heade for a place on high
Some don't want a savior
But no one really wants to die (no, no, no)
And I can't imagine
My condition without the cross
And I can't imagine
Without Jesus we would all be lost
I believe
Oh, I believe (Oh I believe)
I believe
Oh, I believe (I do believe)
I believe
Oh, I believe (Oh I believe)
I believe
Oh, I believe (I do believe)
It's simple as that
I said, it's simple as that
I believe
I believe
I believe
It's simple as that
I believe it's true...
Faith Like A Rock
Eddie Degarmo - Feels Good To Be Forgiven - © 1988
Abraham was a man of principle
He had faith to do what he was told
When the Lord said kill your son
Like a rock he wavered none
He knew God wouldn't leave him in the cold
With faith like a rock
The mountains fall in the sea
With faith like a rock
We can change the course of history, whooa yeah !
Samson was a problem child we know
He found trouble everywhere he'd go
When his life was almost through
He had a change in attitude
And those temple walls fell like dominoes
With faith like a rock
The mountains fall all in the sea
With faith like a rock
We can change the course of
We can change the course of history
Now, listen friend to every word I say
You can make a difference if you pray
If we have faith, if we have love
The Lord will always fill your cup
'cause miracles still happen everyday
With faith like a rock
The mountains fall in the sea
With faith like a rock
You can change history
With faith like a rock
The mountains fall in the sea
With faith like a rock
We can change the course of
We can change the course of
We can change the course of history
Whooa yeah !
like a rock
like a rock
Faith like a rock...
I Ain't Gonna Lose
It's a never ending battle
On this planet we call home
Fighting to stay holy
Reaping what we've sown
Waiting on the promise
Of a kingdom we can't see
These chains they won't hold me
When my Jesus sets me free
I ain't gonna lose
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose
This life has got its problems
It's full of compromise
Decisions fight the conscious
The soul is victimised
And godly ones may suffer
When we're livin' for the Lord
But when this life is over
I know Heaven's our reward
I ain't gonna lose
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose
I said I ain't gonna lose
I ain't gonna lose
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose, oh no
I ain't gonna lose
I ain't gonna lose
I Wanna Praise You
I wanna praise You Lord
For what You did for me
I wanna praise You Lord
For what You did for me
'Cause you delivered me
From mediocrity
I had been going down
Just like a submarine
I had been going down
Just like a submarine
I couldn't get no air
Until You rescue me
Things are getting better everyday
Heartache's just a memory
I can face whatever the future may bring
Since Jesus took a hold of me

I can face whatever the future may bring
Since Jesus took a hold of me
