Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior (Live) - Gaither

I listen for your footsteps Coming up the drive Listen for your footsteps But they don't arrive Waiting for your knock dear On my old front door I don't hear it Does it mean you don't love me any more I hear the clock a'ticking On the mantel shelf See the hands a'moving But I'm by myself I wonder where you are tonight And why I'm by myself I don't see you Does it mean you don't love me any more Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue 'Cause you know darling I love only you You'll never know it hurt me so How I hate to see you go Don't pass me by Don't make me cry Don't make me blue I'm sorry that I doubted you I was so unfair You were in a car crash And you lost your hair You said you would be late About an hour or two I said that's alright I'm waiting here Just waiting to hear from you Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue 'Cause you know darling I love only you You'll never know it hurt me so How I hate to see you go Don't pass me by Don't make me cry Don't make me blue Don't pass me by don't make me cry don't make me blue 'Cause you know darling I love only you You'll never know it hurt me so How I hate to see you go Don't pass me by Don't make me cry Don't make me blue

I didn't come here to ask You for anything I just came to talk with you Lord You've answered a million prayers or more That I forgot to thank You for I just came to talk with You Lord Maybe tomorrow there'll be trouble and sorrow And a thousand teardrops may fall But until I face tomorrows task I have no special favour to ask I just came to talk with you Lord How many times Lord Have troubles brought me down to my knees But I just came to talk with you Lord I have no selfish motive in mind Just want to thank you for all the other times I just came to talk with you Lord Maybe tomorrow there'll be trouble and sorrow And a thousand teardrops may fall But until I face tomorrows task I have no special favour to ask I just came to talk with you Lord I just came to talk with you Lord

The holy hills of Heaven call me To mansions bright across the sea Where loved ones wait and crowns are given When the hills of home keep calling me This house of flesh is but a prison Bars of bone hold my soul But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open When the angel sets my spirit free I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle When the hills of home start calling me I see loved ones over yonder Tears are gone and hearts are free And from the throne king Jesus beckons Oh the hills of home are calling me This house of flesh is but a prison Bars of bone hold my soul But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open When the angel sets my spirit free and I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle When the hills of home start calling me When the hills of home start calling me This house of flesh is but a prison Bars of bone hold my soul But the doors of clay are gonna burst wide open When the angel sets my spirit free and I'll take my flight like a mighty eagle When the hills of home start calling me When the hills of home start calling me

Just as I am without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come The service is nearing an end The choir is singing, 'Just As I Am', And now as the old song is played People at the altar Are kneeling down to pray Some are finding mercy Forgiveness for their sin Some are fighting battles And they're struggling to win The time has come To give them to the Lord That's what the altar is for "That's what this altar is for You don't have to carry Those burdens anymore There's a light in the darkness There's a love that's true And Jesus is waiting He is waiting here for you Go quickly now Before they close the door That's what the altar is for" A father is praying with his son A mother kneels beside them Thanking God they've come An old man Is standing there in tears Giving up a part of him That he's held back for years Hearts are being broken Lives are being changed And those who call upon Him Will never be the same The time has come To give in to the Lord That's what this altar is for "That's what this altar is for You don't have to carry Those burdens anymore There's a light in the darkness There's a love that's true And Jesus is waiting He is waiting here for you Go quickly now Before they close the door That's what this altar is for" "That's what this altar is for You don't have to carry Those burdens anymore There's a light in the darkness There's a love that's true And Jesus is waiting He is waiting here for you Go quickly now Before they close the door And you can give your burdens to the Lord, That's what this altar is for"

Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out, to bring us in All those years longing for a land We were starved, much too weak to stand And they took their toil, tyrants of the soul With no place we could call our own With no song, Lord, you heard our groan And you made a way where there was no way Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind, to a better place You brought us out to bring us in Out of chains and the bonds of man Out of death and the curse of sin Through the desert sand to the promise land Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out Oh Lord, you brought us from a mighty long way A mighty long stay in the wilderness Oh Lord, you brought us through the thick and thin Through the fire and wind to a better place You brought us out to bring us in
