I'm looking and desperately seeking the lyrics to these two songs

The Letter

it starts :
last night i dreamt i got a letter; from someone who's been gone so long. it had a heavenly address

Barabas

they can be found in an old song book called the Sweet Songster but I am having no luck at finding any of these books. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you

Could this be Barabbas? God Bless

Barabbas

My name they call Barabbas and for murder they hold me
my sentence has been rendered, today I'll die nailed to a tree
I denyed that I was guilty tho I knew I was the man
how I dread those rusty nails, they'll soon drive in my hands
they'll soon drive in my hands.

as I lay here in my prison, I'm living my last days
the soldiers will be coming to carry me away
my soul is lost forever, in the flames down below
I knew the law but I didn't keep it
and i'm not prepared to go... I'm not prepared to go

the soldiers now are coming, i hear the shuffle of their feet
the angry mob is yelling, nail that trader to the tree
but they marched on by my prison, then the street grew very quiet
I just don't understand it but they left me here alive
yes they left me here alive

then the prison doors swung open, I saw a roman soldiers face
he said fear not barabbas, there was a man just died in your place
my heart begin to tremble , I said describe this man to me
he said his name was jesus, he was a jew from galilee, he was a jew
from Galilee

2x
he said on the 3 day... he'll arise and live again
the tomb will no longer hold him
God's plan can now began, well it was not just for old barabbas
Jesus put his life on the line
soon he'll return for his faithful. he's taking us with him this time

we're going with him this time.... are you going with us... this time

The Letter - Roger Hicks

Last night in a dream I got a letter
from someone who'd been gone so long
It had a heavenly address
It'd been mailed from that heavenly home
It said dear children I wanted to write you
and tell you I'm doing just fine
That I live in a beautiful city
where life had no measure of time
I just wanted to write and tell you
how peaceful it is where I am
not a tear have I seen since I've been here
not one broken heart have I found
not a call have I got since I've been here
telling me that someone has died.
not even a call for ?
In this city everybody's alright
Oh yes today I talked with Jesus
? so much Love to give
I felt Him so easy to talk to
He seemed so willing to forgive
Oh by the way, He's been trying to call you
He said you'd been so busy down there below
but He promised He'd keep trying
He was so concerned for your soul
I've got to go now. It's such a beautiful country
there's so much more for me to see
I've never seen so many children
and you know what little children mean to me
Oh one more thing I wanted to tell you
there's plenty room in this city for you
Please listen to the voice of Jesus
signed with Love, I'll be looking for you
