The Ballad of Arlis Richards

The Ballad of Arlis Richards

[capo on 3rd fret]

G Am G
Arlis Richards was a man who lived among the blacks.
Am G
He was a crosstie walker with guitar on his back
Am G
Barely educated, couldn't write his name.
Am G
When he played his guitar, this is what he sang;

CHORUS

G B7 Em C G D C
I have been set free, pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!

Am G
Just outside of Memphis back in '52
Am G
Arlis was a ramblin the way that he would do.
Am G
Playing on his guitar sitting in the shade,
Am G
people came to listen to the music that he made;

CHORUS

G B7 Em C G D C
I have been set free, pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!

(Unable to figure out the bridge)

Some folks walked on by, when they saw the color of his skin.

Others stayed and cried, when they saw the man within.

CHORUS

G B7 Em C G D C
I have been set free, pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus!
G B7 Em C G D C
I have been set free, pain and misery no longer follow me I know Jesus
G
and he knows me!!

F#m
Oh when He rolls up his sleeves he ain't just puttin' on the ritz,

And when the sky was starless in the void of the night,
Our God is an awesome God.
He spoke into the darkness and created the light,
Our God is an awesome God.

And judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom.
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross.
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God

Years I spent in vanity and pride,
D7 G C G
Caring not my Lord was crucified;

Knowing not it was for me He died
D7 G G7
On Calvary.

Chorus:

C G
Mercy there was great and grace was free;
D7 G C G
Pardon there was multiplied to me.
C G C G
There my burdened soul found liberty
D7 G
At Calvary.

By God's Word at last my sin I learned.
Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.

Now I've giv'n to Jesus ev'rything.
Now I gladly own Him as my King.
Now my ruptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary.

Oh, the love that drew salvation's plan!
Oh! The grace that brought it down to man!
Oh! The mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!

Are you afraid to die?

Are Ye Able

Are Ye Able

A D
“Are ye able,” said the Master,
E7 A
“To be crucified with Me?”
D
“Yea,” the sturdy dreamers answered,
B7 E7
“To the death we follow Thee.”

Chorus:
A C# F#m D A
Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine.
E A B7 E
Remould them, make us, like Thee, divine.
A C# F#m D C#
Thy guiding radiance above us shall be
D A E7 A
A beacon to God, to love and loyalty.

Are you able to relinquish
Purple dreams of power and fame,
To go down into the Garden,
Or to die a death of shame?

Chorus

Are ye able, when the anguish
Racks your mind and heart with pain,
To forgive the souls who wrong you,
Who would make your striving vain?

Chorus

Are ye able to remember,
When a thief lifts up his eyes,
That his pardoned soul is worthy
Of a place in paradise?

Chorus

Are ye able when the shadows
Close around you with the sod,
To believe that spirit triumphs,
To commend your soul to God?

Chorus

Are ye able? Still the Master
Whispers down eternity,
And heroic spirits answer,
Now as then in Galilee.

Chorus

Anywhere with Jesus

Anywhere He leads me in this world below.

Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade;

Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid.

Chorus:

Anywhere, anywhere!
Bm E7 A7
Fear I cannot know;
C F
Anywhere with Jesus
C G7 C
I can safely go.

Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone;
Other friends may fail me, He is still my own.
Though His hand may lead me over dreary ways,
Anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise.

Chorus

Anywhere with Jesus, over land and sea,
Telling souls in darkness of salvation free.
Ready as He summons me to go or stay;
Anywhere with Jesus when He points the way.

Chorus

Anywhere with Jesus, I can go to sleep
When the dark'ning shadows 'round about me creep.
Knowing I shall waken never more to roam;
Anywhere with Jesus will be home, sweet home.

Chorus

And Can It Be

And Can It Be

G D G Am D7 G
And can it be, that I should gain
C D G D A D
An int'rest in the Saviour's blood?
G/D D G D
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
C G G/D D7 G
For me, who Him to death pursued?
D G C A7 D
Amazing love! How can it be,
G C D G
That thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
G D D7 G
Amazing love! How can it be,
C G/B Am G/D D7 G
That thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

'Tis mystery all! Th' immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries,
To sound the depth of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father's throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace.
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me!
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me!

Long my imprison'd spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed with righteousness divine.
Bold I approach th'eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ, my own.
Bold I approach th'eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ, my own.

A Mighty Fortress

A Mighty Fortress

C G Em Am D7 G
A mighty fortress is our God,
Am Em F C Am Dm7 G C
A bulwark never failing.
C G Em Am D7 G
Our helper He amid the flood
Am Em F C Am Dm7 G C
Of mortal ills prevailing.
D7 G C G C F E7 Am
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
E7 Am D7 G
His craft and power are great
F C F E
And armed with cruel hate
Am Em F C Am Dm7 G C
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God’s own choosing;
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Saboath is His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo! His doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow’rs
No thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also:
The body they may kill;
God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

Amen

Amen

Chorus:
C
Amen, amen
Dm Am G9 C
Amen, amen, amen.
C
See the little baby
Amen
Lying in the manager
Amen
On Christmas morning,
Dm Am G9 C
Amen, amen, amen.

See Him in the temple
Talking to the elders.
How they all marvelled.

See Him at the seashore
Preaching to the people;
Healing all the sick ones.

See Him in the garden
Prayin' to the Father
In deepest sorrow!

See Him on the cross
Bearing all my sins
In bitter agony.

Yes He died to save us
And He rose on Easter.
Now He lives forever!

A Long Time Ago

A Long Time Ago

Into: E A E A

E
A long time ago, there was a man
A E
Who laid his life on the line

He claimed he could make the lame walk again
B7 C#m B7
And give back the sight to the blind
E
Now some people loved him
G# A E
Some people wanted to take him and put him away
G
Well I wasn't there to see what he did
A B7
But if he was right here today...

Chorus:
E A
I would crawl all the way to the river
E A
I would crawl all the way to the sea
E C#m
Just to watch him walk on the water
E B7 E
And lay his loving hands on me.

(Optional guitar solo: A7 E A7)

A carpenter by trade, but the kingdom that he made
Was built without hammer and nail
It stands like a rock though the ages of time
It was built with a love that never fails
I read in the good book that some day he's coming
And some say it ain't far away
On the day that he stands on the banks of the Jordan
I know I will be on my way

Almost Persuaded

Almost Persuaded

E A E C#m B7 E
"Almost persuaded" now to believe;
A E B7 E
"Almost persuaded" Christ to receive;
A E
Seems now some soul to say,
B7 E
"Go, Spirit, go Thy way,
A E
Some more convenient day
B7 E
On Thee I’ll call."

"Almost persuaded," come, come today;
"Almost persuaded," turn not away;
Jesus invites you here,
Angels are lingering near
Prayers rise from hearts so dear;
O wanderer, come!

"Almost persuaded," harvest is past!
"Almost persuaded," doom comes at last!
"Almost" cannot avail;
"Almost" is but to fail!
Sad, sad, that bitter wail
"Almost," but lost!

Almighty

Almighty

G G/B D G
Almighty, most Holy God

Faithful through the ages

Almighty, most Holy God
C Em D G
Glorious, Almighty God

D G D G
The beasts of the field, the birds of the air
G/D D
Are silent to call out Your Name
D G D G
The earth has no voice and I have no choice
G/D D
But to magnify God unashamed
Am D G G/B C
Let the rocks be kept silent for one more day
Am D G G/B D
Let the whole world sing out, let the people say

Well time marches on, with the innocence gone,
And a darkness has covered the earth
But His Spirit dwells, He speaks, "it is well,"
And the hopeless still offered new birth
He will break the leash of death, it will have no sting
Let the prisoner go free, join the dance and sing
