Mother's Day 2024 (Songs by my Mama, R. Payne)

"It Wasn't The Nails"
(Words and Music by R. Payne)
Verse One
It wasn’t the nails that held Jesus to the Cross
That He died on Calvary’s tree, for even me, yes sinful me;
But as He prayed to God above, not my will, but Thine be done
So not the nails held Him there, but His Prayer.

Chorus
Thy Will be done! Thy Will be done!
Held Jesus to the Cross.
Not the nails held His hands and His feet to that old cross,
But Thy Will be done.

Verse Two
It wasn’t the nails, that held Jesus to the Cross,
When He hung there in shame, a crown of thorns upon His head;
But as He prayed to God above, not my will, but Thine be done
So not the nails held Him there, but His Prayer.

Verse Three
It wasn’t the nails, that held Jesus to the Cross,
When He took my hell for me, as His blood was shed for me;
But as He prayed to God above, not my will, but Thine be done
So not the nails held Him there, but His Prayer.

2:56 "Greater Love" (11/1982)
(Words and Music by R. Payne)
Verse One
Greater Love hath no man than this
That a man lay down His life for His friends
Jesus was The One, The Spotless Lamb of God
Who laid down His life for His friends.

Chorus
Greater love made Him bleed
Greater loved made Him die
Greater love saved my soul from Hell
Greater love hath no man than this.

Verse Two
A greater love awaits you, my friend
A greater love than all the world can give
Once you accept my Saviour, Lord, and King
Who laid down His life for His friends.

5:29 "Born to Die" (03/1982)

Verse One
Jesus left Heaven above, came to this earth out of love
Was born a little baby grew up and died
For He was born to die.

Chorus
Born, born to die; Jesus was born to die.
Left all the love in Heaven above
And He was born to die.

Verse Two
Jesus died on the cross, suffered a terrible loss
Gave all His precious Blood just for you and me
For He was born to die.

Verse Three
Jesus – He loves you so, wants you to Heaven to go
Will you accept Him now as your Saviour
For He was born to die.

Chorus2
Born, born to die; Jesus was born to die.
Died that we – might live
For He was born to die.

7:29 "I'm Going Home"
(Words and Music by R. Payne
Verse One
Life is short, and time is running out,
But I’m going Home, where time shall never end.
There’s only One Way – the straight and narrow way,
And I’m going Home that Way!

Chorus
I’m going Home to met my Lord and King
I’m going Home some day.
I’ll know no more night, for Christ will be my light,
And I’m going Home to stay.

Verse Two
O, my friend, I want to meet you there
So be preparing now, confess Him as Lord
He died on the Cross, to save all the lost
O please, come and go with me!
