The Law – Exodus 20 G-d spoke all these words, saying:
"I am the L-RD your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of
the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me.
"You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is
in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve
them, for I, the L-RD your G-d, am a jealous G-d, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of
those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who
love me and keep my mitzvot.
"You shall not take the name of the L-RD your G-d in vain, for the L-RD will
not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
"Remember the day of Shabbat, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and
do all your work, but the seventh day is a Shabbat to the L-RD your G-d.
You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your
male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your
stranger who is within your gates; for in six days the L-RD made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day;
therefore the L-RD blessed the day of Shabbat, and made it holy.
"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land
which the L-RD your G-d gives you.
"You shall not murder.
"You shall not commit adultery.
"You shall not steal.
"You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
"You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your
neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor
his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

HOLY HOLY HOLY Words: Reginald Heber, 1826. Heber wrote this hymn for Trinity Sunday while he was
Vicar of Hodnet, Shropshire, England.
Music: Nicaea, John B. Dykes, in Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861.
Holy, holy, holy, L-rd G-d Almighty,
Early in the morning our songs shall rise to Thee.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty.
G-d in three Persons, blessed trinity.
Holy, holy, holy, all the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea.
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who wert and art and evermore shall be.
Holy, holy, holy, though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see.
Only Thou are holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity.
Holy, holy, holy, L-rd G-d Almighty,
All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
G-d in three Persons, blessed trinity.

I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever by Martin Smith
Over the mountains and the seas
Your river runs with love for me
And I will open up my heart
And let the Healer set me free
I’m happy to be in the truth
And I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing
Of when Your love came down
I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever
Everywhere I go I’m singing
Every breath of air I’m breathing
Everywhere I go I’ll sing of
When Your love came down
Oh I feel like dancing; it’s foolishness I know
But when the world has seen the light
They will dance with joy like we’re dancing now

I will worship You until the very end

I will clap my hands and sing
Before the King of kings.

We will make a joyful sound,
Before the Kings of kings.
As Joshua did at Jericho,
We will shout and defeat the foe
Before the King of kings.

The Heart of Worship (When the Music Fades)
by Matt Redman
When the music fades, all is stripped away,
And I simply come; longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth that will bless Your heart.
I’ll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself Is not what You have required.
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear;
You’re looking into my heart.
I’m coming back to the heart of worship,
And it’s all about You, all about You, Jesus.
I’m sorry, L-rd, for the thing I’ve made it,
When it’s all about You, all about You, Jesus.
King of endless worth, no one could express
How much You deserve. Though I’m weak and poor,
All I have is Yours, ev’ry single breath.
23
Sanctuary by John W. Thompson & Randy Scruggs
L-rd, prepare me to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true.
With thanksgiving, I'll be a living
Sanctuary for You.
It was You, L-rd, who gave the Savior,
Heart and soul, L-rd, to ev'ry man.
It is You, L-rd, who knows my weakness,
You refine me with Thine own hand.
Lead me O L-rd, through temptation,
You refine me from within.
Fill our hearts with Your Holy Spirit,
And take all our sins away.

The Solid Rock By Edward Mote & William B. Bradbury
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Chorus:
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found,
Dress in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

Awesome G-d by Rich Mullins
When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just puttin' on the ritz
Our G-d is an awesome G-d
There is thunder in His footsteps and lightning in His fist
Our G-d is an awesome G-d
The L-rd wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very close and so you better be believing
That our G-d is an awesome G-d
Our G-d is an awesome G-d, He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power and love, our G-d is an awesome G-d
When the sky was starless in the void of the night
Our G-d is an awesome G-d
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
Our G-d is an awesome G-d
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 G-d is an awesome G-d

They'll Know We Are Christians by Peter Scholtes
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the L-rd
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the L-rd
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored
Chorus:
And they'll know we are Christians by our love,
by our love Yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in
hand.
We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in
hand.
And together we'll spread the news that G-d is in our
land
We will work with each other, we will work side by side.
We will work with each other, we will work side by side.
And we'll guard each man's dignity and save each
man's pride.
All praise to the Father from whom all things come.
And all praise to Christ Jesus, His only Son.
And all praise to the Spirit who makes us one.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed? by Isaac Watts & Hugh Wilson
The message of the cross…is the power of G-d. 1 Cor. 1:18
Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred Head
For sinners such as I?
Was it for sins that I have done
He suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut His glories in,
When Christ, the great Redeemer, died
For man the creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, L-rd, I give myself away –
‘Tis all that I can do.
29
To G-d Be the Glory by Fanny J. Crosby & William H. Doane
The L-rd has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. Ps. 126:3
To G-d be the glory, great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the Life-gate that all may go in.
Chorus:
Praise the L-rd, praise the L-rd, let the earth hear His
voice!
Praise the L-rd, praise the L-rd, let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He hath done!
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To ev’ry believer the promise of G-d;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
(Chorus)
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath
done,
And great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
(Chorus)

Awesome in This Place by Dave Billington
As I come into Your presence Past the gates of praise into Your sanctuary ‘Til we’re standing face to face I look upon Your countenance I see the fullness of Your grace And I can only bow down and say:
You are awesome in this place, mighty G-d. You are awesome in this place, Abba Father. You are worthy of all praise To You our lives we raise You are awesome in this place, mighty G-d.

In the Garden In the Garden (I Come to the Garden Alone)
Words and music by C. Austin Mles. Public Domain.
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear falling on my ear,
The Son of G-d discloses.
Chorus:
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing. (Chorus)
I'd stay in the garden with Him,
Though the night around me be falling
But He bids me go; thru the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling. (Chorus)

Oh Lamb of G-d I come, I come!
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of G-d I come, I come!

Nothing But the Blood by Robert Lowry
The blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Chorus:
Oh! Precious is the flow that makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing, this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Because He Lives by Gloria Gaither & William J. Gaither
G-d sent His Son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died, to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives
Chorus:
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know who holds the future
My life is worth the living just because He lives
How sweet to hold A new born baby,
And feel the pride, And joy he gives;
But greater still The calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days Because He lives.
(Chorus)
And then one day I’ll cross the river; I’ll fight life’s
Final war with pain, And then as death Gives way to
vict’ry, I’ll see the lights of glory And I’ll know He lives.
(Chorus)

When the trumpet of the L-rd shall sound and time shall be
no more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.
Chorus:
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in
Christ shall rise
And the glory of his resurrection share
When his chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the
skies
And the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there. (Chorus)
Let us labor for the master from the dawn to setting sun
Let us talk of all his wondrous love and care
Then when all of life is over and our work on earth is done
And the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there. (Chorus)

Here I Am to Worship by Tim Hughes
Light of the World, You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore You,
Hope of a life spent with You.
So, here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You’re my G-d.
And You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
King of all days, oh so highly exalted,
Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly You came to the Earth You created,
All for love’s sake became poor.
And I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross. (Repeat)

One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose You now

Mary, Did You Know? By Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene
Mary did you know, that your baby boy would someday
walk on water?
Mary did you know, that your baby boy would save our
sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you
new?
This child that you’ve delivered will soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to
a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a
storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where
angels trod?
When you’ve kissed your little baby then you’ve kissed
the face of G-d.
The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live
again,
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak the praises of
the Lamb.
Mary did you know that your baby boy is L-rd of all
creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day
rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy was Heaven’s perfect
lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding is the great “I AM.”

If We never Meet Again By: Albert E. Brumley
Soon we’ll come to the end of life’s journey
And perhaps we’ll never meet anymore,
Til we gather in Heaven’s bright city,
Far away on that beautiful shore.
If we never meet again this side of Heaven,
As we struggle through this world and it’s strife,
There’s another meeting place somewhere in Heaven,
By the side of the river of life.
Where the charming roses bloom forever
And where separations come no more.
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
I will meet you on that beautiful shore.

Just a Closer Walk With Thee An American traditional spiritual, 19th century
I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long,
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Chorus:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear L-rd, let it be.
Through this world of toils and snares,
If I falter, L-rd, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear L-rd, none but Thee. (Chorus)
When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er,
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy kingdom shore. (Chorus)

Watching for you and for me.
Chorus:
Come home, come home,
You who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, O sinner, come home!
O for the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me.
(Chorus)

The Church in the Wildwood William S. Pitts, 1857
There’s a church in the valley by the wildwood,
No lovelier place in the dale,
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the dale.
Chorus:
Oh, come, come, come, come,
Come to the church in the wildwood,
Oh, come to the church in the dale.
No spot is so dear to my childhood,
As the little brown church in the dale.
How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bell,
Its tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the dale.
(Chorus)
There, close by the side of a loved one,
’Neath the trees where the wild flowers bloom
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, ‘neath the willow,
Disturb not her rest in the tomb.
(Chorus twice)

Pressing onward, pushing every hindrance aside
Out of my way

And Jesus will see me safely through.

There'll be no detours in Heaven
No rough roads along the way

They crossed the Red Sea of Destruction
For G-d was there to see them through.

And I find myself standing in the Son

Is forever, forever worship You

Crafted into Your perfect plan

Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me

And by Your might, You set the captives free (Chorus)
Through the years You made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be
Though Your Word contained the plan
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of Your Son (Chorus)

Message of the Cross By Delirious
This is the message of the cross, that we can be free
To live in the victory and turn from our sin.
My precious L-rd Jesus
With sinners you died.
For there you revealed your love and you laid down
your life.
This is the message of the cross, that we can be free.
To lay all our burdens here at the foot of the tree.
The cross was the shame of the world
But the glory of G-d
For Jesus, You conquered sin and You gave us new life.
You set me free when I came to the cross,
Poured out your blood for I was broken and lost.
There I was healed and you covered my sin
It's there you saved me
This is the message of the cross
This is the message of the cross, that we can be free.
To hunger for heaven, L-rd, to hunger for Thee.
"The cross is such foolishness to the perishing,
But to us who are being saved, it is the power of G-d."
You set us free when we come to the cross.
You pour out your blood for we are broken and lost.
Here we are healed and you cover our sin.
It's here you save us.
You set me free when I come to the cross.
Pour out your blood for I am broken and lost.
Here I am healed and you cover my sin.
It's here you save me.
This is the message of the cross.
Let us rejoice at the foot of the cross
We can be free, glory to G-d
Thank you, L-rd, Thank you, L-rd
You set us free, glory to G-d

TAKE ME IN Dave Browning
Take me past the outer courts
And through the holy place,
Past the brazen altar;
L-rd, I want to see Your face.
Pass me by the crowds of people,
And the priests who sing their praise;
I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness
But it’s only found one place.
So take me in to the Holy of Holies,
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb;
So take me in to the Holy of Holies,
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am.

WINGS OF A DOVE Recorded by: Ferlin Husky
Written by: Bob Ferguson
CHORUS:
On the wings of a snow white dove
He sent His pure sweet love
A sign from above…
On the wings of a dove.
When trouble surrounds us; and evil comes
The body grows weak; the spirit grows numb
When these things be-set us; He doesn't for-get us
He sends down His love; On the wings of a dove.
(Chorus)
When Noah had drifted; on the flood many days
He searched for land; in various ways
Troubles he had some; but wasn't forgotten
G-d sent him His love; on the wings of a dove.

And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

I wouldn’t ask my dear saviour in.
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night;
Praise the L-rd, I saw the light!
Chorus:
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight.

Then like the blind man that Jesus gave back his sight;
Praise the L-rd, I saw the light!

For straight is the gate and narrow is the way.
Now I have traded the wrong for the right;

The Lighthouse A traditional gospel song
There’s a lighthouse on the hillside; that overlooks life’s
sea
When I’m tossed it sends out a light, that I might see
And the light that shines in darkness now will safely
lead us o’er
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse, my ship would be no
more.
Chorus:
And I thank G-d for the lighthouse, I owe my life to
Him
For Jesus is the lighthouse, and from the rocks of sins
He has shone a light around me, that I could clearly see.
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse, tell me where would my
ship be?
Everybody that lives about us, says tear that lighthouse
down
The big ships don’t sail this way anymore, there’s no
use in it standing round.
Then my mind goes back that stormy night when just in
time I saw the light;
Yes the light from that old lighthouse that stands up
there on the hill.
(Chorus)

And as we worship, build Your throne
And as we worship, build Your throne
And as we worship, build Your throne
Come L-rd Jesus, and take Your place

Life’s Railway to Heaven Eliza R. Snow
Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that’s brave.
We must make the run successful,
From the cradle to the grave.
Heed the curves, the hills, the tunnels,
Never falter, never fail.
Keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail.
Chorus:
Blessed Savior Thou wilt guide us,
‘Til we reach that blissful shore.
Where the angels wait to join us,
In G-d’s great forevermore.
As we roll along the mainline
There’ll be storms and there’ll be night.
There’ll be sidetracks unexpected
On the left and on the right.
But with the straight always before us
And our hearts upon the prize,
There’ll be no disembarkation
Until we reach paradise.
(Chorus)

The L-rd Reigns by Dan Stradwick
Chorus:
The L-rd reigns, the L-rd reigns, the L-rd reigns
Let the earth rejoice, let the earth rejoice, let the earth
rejoice
And the people be glad, that our G-d reigns
A fire goes before Him, and burns up all His enemies
The hills melt like wax at the presence of the L-rd
At the presence of the L-rd (Chorus)
The heavens declare His righteousness, the people see
His glory
For You, O L-rd, are exalted over all the earth
Over all the earth (Chorus)

He is the way (truth… life)

Jesus Is Coming Soon R. E. Winsett, 1942
Verse 1:
Troublesome times are here, filling men's hearts with
fear,
Freedom we all hold dear now is at stake;
Humbling your heart to G-d saves from chast'ning rod,
Seek the way pilgrims trod, Christians, awake.
Verse 2:
Love of so many cold, losing their home of gold,
This in G-d's Word is told, evils abound;
When these signs come to pass, nearing the end at last,
It will come ver-y fast, trumpets will sound.
Verse 3:
Troubles will soon be o'er, happy for evermore,
When we meet on that shore, free from all care;
Rising up in the sky, telling this world good-bye,
Homeward we then will fly, glory to share.
Chorus:
Jesus is coming soon, morning or night or noon,
Many will meet their doom, trumpets will sound;
All of the dead shall rise, Righteous meet in the skies,
Going where no one dies, heavenward bound.

WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE Lyrics and Composer: Jim Hill
There is coming a day
When no heartache shall come
No more clouds in the sky
No more tears to dim the eye
All is peace forever more
On that happy golden shore
What a day, glorious day that will be
Chorus:
What a day that will be
When my Jesus I shall see
And I look upon His face
The One who saved my by His grace
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land
What a day, glorious day that will be
There'll be no sorrow there
No more burdens to bear
No more sickness, no pain
No more parting over there
And forever I will be
With the One who died for me
What a day, glorious day that will be (Chorus)

Draw Me Close by Kelly Carpenter
Draw me close to You. Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I'm Your friend
You are my desire. No one else will do
'Cause nothing else could take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way, bring me back to You
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near

Days Of Elijah Donnie McClurkin
These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the L-rd,
And these are the days of Your servant, Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are the days of great trials,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying,
"Prepare ye the way of the L-rd!"
CHORUS:
Behold he comes, riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call.
So lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion's hill, salvation comes.
And these are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh.
And these are the days of Your servant, David,
Rebuilding the temple of praise.
And these are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in the world.
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the L-rd! (Chorus)
There's no G-d like Jehovah, there's no G-d like Jehovah,
There's no G-d like Jehovah, there's no G-d like Jehovah.

More Precious Than Silver by Lynn DeShazo
L-rd, You are more precious than silver
L-rd, You are more costly than gold
L-rd, You are more beautiful than diamonds
And nothing I desire compares with You
L-rd, You are as free as the eagle
L-rd, You are more swift than the brook
L-rd, You are more radiant than sunshine
And nothing I can see compares with You
L-rd, Your love is higher than the mountains
L-rd, Your love is deeper than the sea
L-rd, Your love is wider than the heavens
And all because of this, You died for me

Psalm 23
The L-rd is my shepherd I shall not want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul
Yea, though I walk through
The valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil
For thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff
They comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil,
My cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
All the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the L-rd forever.

The River is Here Vineyard Music
Down the mountain the river flows
And it brings refreshing wherever it goes
Through the valleys and over the fields
The river is rushing and the river is here.
Chorus:
The river of G-d sets our feet a-dancing
The river of G-d fills our hearts with cheer
The river of G-d fills our mouths with laughter
And we rejoice for the river is here.
The river of G-d is teeming with life
And all who touch it can be revived
And those who linger on this river’s shore
Will come back thirsting for more of the L-rd.
(Chorus)
Up to the mountain we love to go
To find the presence of the L-rd
Along the banks of the river we run
We dance with laughter giving praise to the Son.
(Chorus)

One Day at a Time Marijohn Wilkin
I’m only human, I’m just a man.

Show me the stairway I have to climb.
L-rd for my sake, help me to take one day at a time.
Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus. That’s all I’m asking
from You.
Just give me the strength to do ev’ryday what I have to
do.
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus. And tomorrow may
never be mine.
L-rd help me today, show me the way. One day at a
time.
Do you remember when you walked among men?
Well, Jesus you know if you’re looking below It’s worse
now than then.
Pushin’ and shovin’, crowding my mind.
So for my sake, teach me to take one day at a time.

Say to the Mountain Paul Wilbur
Chorus:
I will say to the mountain that stands in my way, “Be removed now and cast in the sea”;
I believe that these things which I say
Come to pass and have whatsoever I say,
Yes I have what so ever I say.
I will walk by what G-d says
And not by what I see;
For those things are temporal
And they’re subject to be changed.
(Chorus – So I’ll…)
I hold fast to my confession
I won’t change my mind;
G-d has promised He will do it
He’s faithful all the time.
(Chorus – So I’ll…)

For in His heart there is room for me and I run with
arms opened wide.

In Christ Alone Stuart Townend and Keith Getty
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of G-d in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of G-d was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

This World is not My Home Jim Reeves
This world is not my home, I’m just a-passing through;
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue.
The angels beckon me from Heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
Chorus:
Oh, L-rd you know I have no friend like You,
If Heaven’s not my home, then L-rd what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
They’re all expecting me, and that’s one thing I know.
My Savior’s pardoned me, and now I onward go.
I know He’ll take me through, though I am weak and poor,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
(Chorus)
I have a loving mother up in glory land,
And I don’t expect to stop until I shake her hand.
She’s waiting now for me in Heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
(Chorus)
Just up in glory land we’ll live eternally;
The saints on every hand are shouting victory.
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from Heaven’s shore,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.
(Chorus)

Do L-rd, O do L-rd, O do remember me (remember)
Do L-rd, O do L-rd, O do remember me (remember)

I took Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too
I took Jesus as my Savior, you take Him too
Way beyond the blue. (Chorus)

Ah L-rd G-d, Thou hast made the heavens

Nothing is too difficult for Thee
Great and mighty G-d
Great in counsel and mighty in deed
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing
Nothing is too difficult for Thee.

All I Know Larry Petree
Though I feel afraid of territory unknown,
I know that I can say that I do not stand alone.
For Jesus you have promised your presence in my
heart;
I cannot see the ending, but it’s here that I must start.
Chorus:
And all I know is you have called me,
And that I will follow is all I can say.
I will go where you will send me
And your fire lights my way.
What lies across the waves may cause my heart to fear;
Will I survive the day, must I leave what’s known and
dear?
A ship that’s in the harbor is still safe from harm
But it was not built to be there, it was made for wind
and storm.
(Chorus)
114

Set us free by the truth You now bring us!
Shine on me, Shine on me!
Chorus:
Shine, Jesus shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze spirit blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word, L-rd, and let there be light.
L-rd I come to Your awesome presence,
From the shadows into your radiance;
By the blood I may enter Your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness,
Shone on me, Shine on me!
(Chorus)
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness,
So our faces display Your likeness;
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirror’d here may our lives tell Your story,
Shine on me, Shine on me!
(Chorus)

In Christ Alone Stuart Townend
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease!
My Comforter my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of G-d in helpless babe!
This Gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of G-d was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid:
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

My Redeemer Lives (By: Nicole C. Mullins)
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
Who told the ocean you can only come this far?
Who showed the moon where to hide ‘til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Chorus:
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testify
His life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives
The every same G-d that spins things in orbit
He runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m
broken
They conquered death to bring me victory. (Chorus –
Now…)
To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I’ll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He’s alive and
There’s an empty grave! (Chorus – Now…)

The Unclouded Day Josiah K. Alwood, circa 1880
O they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
O they tell me of a home far away
O they tell me of a place where no storm clouds rise
O they tell me of an uncloudy day.
Chorus:
O the land of cloudless day
O the land of an uncloudy sky
O they tell me of a place where no storm clouds rise
O they tell me of an uncloudy day.
O they tell me of a place where my friends have gone
O they tell me of that land far away
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance on an uncloudy day.
(Chorus)
O they tell me that he smiles on his children there
And his smile drives their sorrows away
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of uncloudy day.
(Chorus)

Peace in the Valley Thomas A. Dorsey, 1937
Well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go along
Till the lord will come and call, call me away, oh yeah
Well the morning's so bright
And the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes
Chorus:
There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh L-rd I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, I see
There will be peace in the valley for me
Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down, down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I
am
(Chorus)

Daddy Sang Bass (Carl Perkins, 1968)
I remember when I was a lad
Times were hard and things were bad
But there's a silver linin' behind ev'ry cloud
Just four people that 's all we were
Tryin' to make a livin' out of black-land dirt
But we'd get together in a family circle singin' loud
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
Singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
Though the circle won't be broken
By and by, L-rd, by and by
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, L-rd, in the sky
Now I remember after work mama would call in all of
us
You could hear us singin' for a country mile
Now little brother has done gone on
But I'll rejoin him in a song
We'll be together again up yonder in a little while
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
'cause singin' seems to help a troubled soul
One of these days and it won't be long
I'll rejoin them in a song
I'm gonna join the family circle at the throne
Oh no the circle won't be broken
By and by, L-rd, by and by
Daddy sang bass (mama sang tenor)
Me and little brother would join right in there
In the sky, L-rd, in the sky
In the sky, L-rd, in the sky

He Set Me Free Lyrics and Melody: Albert E. Brumley
Once like a bird in prison I dwelt,
no freedom from my sorrow I felt
But Jesus came and listened to me,
glory to G-d, He set me free!
Chorus:
He set me free, yes, He set me free,
He broke the bonds of prison for me
I'm glory bound my Jesus to see,
glory to G-d, He set me free!
Good bye to sin and the things that confound,
naught of this world shall turn me around
Daily I'm working, I'm praying too,
glory to G-d I'm going through!
Chorus 2X

He Turned the Water Into Wine Johnny Cash
He turned the water into wine,
He turned the water into wine.
In the little Canaan town,
The word went all around, that
He turned the water into wine.
Well, He fed the hungry multitude.
He fed the hungry multitude.
With a little bit of fish and bread,
They say everyone was fed.
He fed the hungry multitude.
He walked upon the sea of Galilee.
He walked upon the sea of Galilee.
He shouted far and wide,
He calmed the raging tide.
And walked upon the sea of Galiee.
He healed the leper and the lame.
He healed the leper and the lame.
He said, "Go and tell no man,"
But they shouted it through the land, that
He healed the leper and the lame.

Precious Memories (J. B. F. Wright)
Precious mem'ries, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
And the sacred past unfold.
CHORUS:
Precious mem'ries, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.
In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere.
I remember mother praying
Father, too, on bended knee
Sun is sinking, shadows falling
But their pray'rs still follow me.
As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious mem'ries flood my soul.

You Can't Be A Beacon
(If Your Light Don't Shine) Words and music: Martin Cooper
Chorus:
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
There's a little light in all of us by G-d's design,
And you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
How can you ask for truth when you do not truthful
live?
How can you ask forgiveness when you don't forgive?
I don't mean to bring you down or speak to you unkind.
But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
Chorus
How can you ask a child to be honest and true,
When he can only judge what's right by what he sees in
you?
How can you offer vision yet walk around blind?
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
Chorus
May G-d's love surround you, may you find a brighter
day.
May He grant you the peace you seek in every way.
G-d's light burns in every life, yours and mine,
And you can be a beacon if you let it shine.
You can be a beacon if you let it shine,
You can be a beacon if you let it shine.
There's a little light in all of us by G-d's design,
And you can be a beacon if you let it shine.

Wayfaring Stranger
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
A travel'n through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go.
Refrain:
I'm goin' there to see my father
I'm goin' there no more to roam;
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home.
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep;
But golden fields lay just before me
Where G-d's redeemed no more shall weep.
Refrain:
I'm goin' there to see my mother
I'm goin' there no more to roam;
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home.
I want to sing salvation's story
In concert with the blood-washed band;
I want to wear a crown of glory
When I get home to that good land.
Refrain:
I'm goin' there to see my Savior
I'm goin' there no more to roam;
I'm just a-goin' over Jordan
I'm just a-goin' over home.
I'm goin' home.

Whatsoever You Do Willard F. Jabusch
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you do
unto me
When I was hungry, you gave me to eat
When I was thirsty, you gave me to drink
Now enter into the home of my father
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you do
unto me
When I was homeless, you opened your door
When I was naked, you gave me your coat
Now enter into the home of my father
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you do
unto me
When I was weary, you helped me find rest
When I was anxious, you calmed all my fears
Now enter into the home of my father
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you do
unto me
When in a prison, you came to my cell
When on a sick-bed, you cared for my needs
Now enter into the home of my father
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you do
unto me
When I was laughed at, you stood by my side
When I was happy you shared in my joy
Now enter into the home of my father
Whatsoever you do to the least of my people that you do
unto me

Travelling through this wearisome land
I’ve got a home in that yonder city, good lord
And it’s not, not made by hand
I’ve got a mother, sister and a brother
Who have gone this way before
I am determined to go and see them, good lord
For they’re on that other shore
I’m goin’ down to the river of jordan
Just to bathe my wearisome soul
If I can just touch the hem of his garment, good lord
Then I know he’d take me home
I am a pilgrim and a stranger
Travelling through this wearisome land
I’ve got a home in that yonder city, good lord
And it’s not, not made by hand

Blessed Be Your Name Matt Redman
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, L-rd
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the L-rd
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the L-rd
Blessed be Your glorious name
[ Lyrics from:

+your+name_20155081.html ]
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, L-rd
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the L-rd
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the L-rd
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be the name of the L-rd
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the L-rd
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
L-rd, blessed be Your name

I'll Fly Away Albert E. Brumley
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away.
To a home on G-d's celestial shore,
I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, O Glory, I'll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have flown,
I'll fly away.
Like a bird thrown, driven by the storm,
I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, O Glory, I'll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away.
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away.

Down To The River To Pray
(19th
century American gospel song.)
As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that
good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown, good L-rd, show
me the way
Oh sisters let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Oh sisters let’s go down, down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that
good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown, good L-rd,
show me the way
Oh brothers let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Come on brothers let’s go down, down in the river to
pray
As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that
good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown, good L-rd, show
me the way
Oh fathers let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Oh fathers let’s go down, down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that
good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown, good L-rd,
show me the way
Oh mothers let’s go down, come on down, don’t you
wanna go down
Come on mothers let’s go down, down in the river to
pray
Down in the river to pray, studying about that good old
way
And who shall wear the starry crown, good L-rd, show
me the way
Oh sinners let’s go down, let’s go down, come on down
Oh sinners let’s go down, down in the river to pray
As I went down in the river to pray, studying about that
good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown, good L-rd,
show me the way

Daddy Was an Old Time Preacher Man Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, 1970
Daddy was an old time preacher man
He preacher the word of G-d throughout the land
He preached so plain a child could understand
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
He told the people of he need to pray
He talked about G-d's wrath and judgement day
He preached about the great eternity
He preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Aunt Leanona would get up to testify
And we'd sing "In The Sweet By And By"
The we'd sing "I'm On My Way To Canaan Land"
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Revivals and camp meetings went for weeks
Folks came from all around to hear him preach
Daddy said if one is saved it's worth it all
But the aisles were always filled at altar calls
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
Daddy worked for G-d but asked for no pay
For he believed that G-d provides a way
We never had a lot but we got by
Guess it's 'cause the L-rd was on Daddy's side
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man

He Sent a Carpenter Sawyer Brown
In a manger filled with hay
The Virgin Mother's baby lay
While shepherds stood trembling at the site
This child was the King of Kings
But G-d who knows and sees all things
Sent a simple man to show the world the light
Chorus
He sent a carpenter
A carpenter to build His kingdom here
A carpenter
He sent a carpenter
To build on faith not fear
The proof lay in those nail scarred hands
So every heart could understand
He sent a carpenter to
Build His kingdom here
His father's house here on earth
Was built on faith and by His works
Grew strong just like the rock it stood upon
Then G-d spoke to His only Son
And told him that his job was done
When that last nail was finally driven home
Chorus
The proof lay in those nail scarred hands
So every heart could understand
He sent a carpenter to
Build His kingdom here
He sent a carpenter to
Build His kingdom here

Farther Along (There are several contradictory claims for the authorship of this song. The words and
music are frequently attributed to W. B. Stevens, although others have attributed the words
to W. A. Fletcher.)
Tempted and tried, we’re oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long;
While there are others living about us,
Never molested, though in the wrong.
Refrain:
Farther along we’ll know more about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We’ll understand it all by and by.
Sometimes I wonder why I must suffer,
Go in the rain, the cold, and the snow,
When there are many living in comfort,
Giving no heed to all I can do.
Tempted and tried, how often we question
Why we must suffer year after year,
Being accused by those of our loved ones,
E’en though we’ve walked in G-d’s holy fear.
Often when death has taken our loved ones,
Leaving our home so lone and so drear,
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year.
“Faithful till death,” saith our loving Master;
Short is our time to labor and wait;
Then will our toiling seem to be nothing,
When we shall pass the heavenly gate.
Soon we will see our dear, loving Savior,
Hear the last trumpet sound through the sky;
Then we will meet those gone on before us,
Then we shall know and understand why.

Nefesh Yehudi homiyah
Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l'tzion tzofiyah.

To be a free people in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

Some May Trust in Chariots
Chorus:
Some may trust in horses
Some may trust in chariots
But we will trust
In the name of our G-d

He will hear from heaven
To answer every cry

Sins are washed away
We sing for joy to G-d our King
His banner we wave
(Repeat chorus 4 times)

The Man Comes Around Johnny Cash
"And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder. One of
the four beasts saying, 'Come and see.' and I saw, and
behold a white horse"
There's a man goin' 'round takin' names,
And he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won't be treated all the same,
There'll be a golden ladder reachin' down.
When the man comes around.
The hairs on your arm will stand up,
At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
Will you partake of that last offered cup,
Or disappear into the potter's ground?
When the man comes around.
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin'.
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum.
Voices callin', voices cryin'.
Some are born and some are dyin'.
It's alpha and omega's kingdom come,
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks,
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks,
Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom.
Then the father hen will call his chickens home,
The wise man will bow down before the throne.
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns,
When the man comes around.
Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down,
When the man comes around.
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin'.
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettledrum.
Voices callin', voices cryin'.
Some are born and some are dyin'.
It's alpha and omega's kingdom come,
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks,
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees.
It's hard for thee to kick against the prick,
In measured hundredweight and penny pound,
When the man comes around.
"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse, and his name
that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him."

Enemy Camp Medley
Well I went to the enemy's camp and I
Took back what he stole from me
Took back what he stole from me
Took back what he stole from me
Well I went to the enemy's camp and I
Took back what he stole from me
He's under my feet
He's under my feet
He's under my feet
He's under my feet
He's under my feet
He's under my feet
Satan is under my feet.
(repeat 2x)
Look what the L-rd has done
Look what the L-rd has done
He healed my body
He cleansed my mind
He saved me just in time
Oh I'm gonna praise His Name
Each day is just the same
Come on and praise Him
Look what the L-rd has done.

Amazing Grace by John Newton
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The L-rd has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing G-d’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Blessed Assurance by Fanny J. Crosby
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of G-d
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
Chorus:
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love

Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name! Chorus:
Glory to His Name,
Glory to His Name:
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to His Name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within,
There at the cross where He took me in;
Glory to His Name! (Chorus)
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to His Name! (Chorus)
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to His Name! (Chorus)

Jesus Loves Me by Anna B. Warner & William B. Bradbury
Jesus loves me! This I know, for the Bible tells me so:
Little ones to Him belong; they are weak but He is
strong.
Chorus:
Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! Loves me still, tho' I'm very weak and
ill;
That I might from sin be free, bled and died upon the
tree.
(Chorus)
Jesus loves me! He who died, heaven's gate to open
wide;
He will wash away my sin, let His little child come in.
(Chorus)
Jesus loves me! He will stay close beside me all the way;
Thou hast bled and died for me, I will henceforth live
for Thee.

Just As I Am Just As I Am
Words by Charlotte Elliot and
Henry Smart. Public Domain.
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of G-d I come, I come!
Just as I am, and waiting not,
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of G-d I come, I come!
Just as I am, tho' tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within, and fears without,
O Lamb of G-d I come, I come!
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of G-d I come, I come!

O for a Thousand Tongues by Carl G. Glaser & Charles Wesley
My tongue will speak…of Your praises all day long. Psalm 35:28
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my G-d and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
Jesus! The name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life and health and peace.
He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come;
And leap, ye lame for joy.
My gracious Master and my G-d,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread thro’ all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy name. Public Domain

Old Rugged Cross George Bennard
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Chorus:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of G-d left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary. (Chorus)
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me. (Chorus)
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share. (Chorus)

We Gather Together Dutch hymn written in 1626 by Adrianus Valerius
Translation by Theodore Baker in 1894
We gather together to ask the L-rd's blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing,
Sing praises to His name: He forgets not his own.
Beside us to guide us, our G-d with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, L-rd, wast at our side, All glory be thine!
We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,
And pray that thou still our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O L-rd, make us free!
