Y Camp Choruses
John 3.16
For God so loved the world,
He gave His only Son;
To die on Calvary’s tree,
from sin to set me free;
Some day He’s coming back,
what glory that will be;
Wonderful His love to me!
At the Cross
At the cross, at the cross,
where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away.
It was there by faith, I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day.
Sunshine Mountain
Climb, climb up Sunshine Mountain, heavenly breezes blow;
Climb, climb up Sunshine Mountain, faces all aglow.
Turn, turn from sin and doubting, looking to the sky;
Climb, climb up Sunshine Mountain, you and I.
You Can Smile

When it’s cloudy or fair,
you can smile any time anywhere.
One, Two, Three
One, two, three, the devil’s after me.Four, five, six, he’s always playing tricks;

Hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen.
Nine, eight, seven, we’re on our way to heaven.
Six, five, four, to live forever more;
Three, two one, the devil’s on the run;
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Amen.
Every Day With Jesus
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before;
Every day with Jesus, I love Him more and more;
Jesus saves and keeps me and He’s the one I’m waiting for;
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.
Every Day With Jesus II
Every day with Jesus, I’ll be walking down the King’s highway,
Tell me the old, old story; I love it better every day;
I love Him; I will make you fishers of men,
If you’ll only follow Me!
Hallelujah what a Savior;
I’m from sin set, you’re from sin set,
We’re all from sin set free.
It Isn’t Any Trouble
It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E;
It isn’t any trouble just to S-M-I-L-E;
So smile when you’re in trouble; it will vanish like a bubble;
If you’ll only take the trouble just to S-M-I-L-E!
Then L-A-U-G-H…
Then G-R-I-N-Grin…
Then Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha…
Jacob’s Ladder
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder,
we are climbing Jacob’s ladder,
We are climbing Jacob’s ladder,

Every rung goes higher, higher… (3X)
Sinners do you love my Jesus…(3X)
If you love Him, why not serve Him… (3-X)
Soldiers of the cross.
Wide as the Ocean
Wide, wide as the ocean, high as the heavens above;
Deep, deep as the deepest sea, is my Savior’s love.

For His word teaches me, that His love reaches me, everywhere!
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Jesus Christ the way,

Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning, burning, burning;

If I Had…
If I had a little white box to put my Jesus in,

I’d take him out and smash his face
and put him back again.

The Wise Man
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
the wise man built his house upon the rock,
the wise man built his house upon the rock,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up;
The rains came down and the floods came up;
The rains came down and the floods came up;
And the wise man’s house stood firm.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
the foolish man built his house upon the sand,
the foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the foolish man’s house went splat…
So, build your house on the Lord, Jesus Christ.
My Lord Knows the Way

Cheer, Cheer for Old Athens Y
Cheer, cheer for old Athens Y,
We’re going back and we’ll tell you why.
It’s the greatest camp we know,
So pack up your ‘grips’ and let us go!
Back to the mountains, back to the lakes,
Back to the friends we’re so glad to make.
Start that train (plane) and let ‘er fly,
We’re headed for Athens Y.

There’s a Cabin on the Hill
There’s a cabin on the hill, on the hille!
and there my heart is lingering still, lingering still!
And I’ll raise my voice to the cabin on the hill,
And make the wood and welkin ring.
And until the day I’m leaving you will find me still believing,
That the Y Camp beats them all so let us laugh and sing…
There’s a cabin on the hill, on the hill!
and there my heart is lingering still, lingering still!
And I’ll hang my hat in the cabin on the hill,
Athens Y, Athens Y, Athens Y.
When the Mists Have Rolled Away
When the mists have rolled in splendor from the beauty of the hills,
And the sunlight falls in gladness on the river and the rills
We recall our Father’s promise in the rainbow of the spray.
We shall know each other better when the mists have rolled away.
We shall know, as we are known.
We shall know, as we are known.
In the dawning of the morning of that bright and happy day,
We shall know each other better when the mists have rolled away.
Oft we tread the path before us,
With a weary burdened heart.
Oft we toil amid the shadows and our fields are far apart.
But the Savior’s ‘Come ye blessed.’
All our labors will repay,
When we gather in the morning where the mists have rolled away.
Chorus
We shall come with joy and gladness,
We shall gather ‘round the throne;
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known.
And the sound of our redemption shall resound through endless day,
When the shadows have departed and the mists have rolled away.
Chorus
