Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
This is my heart-cry day unto day;
I long to know Thy will and Thy way;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray
CHORUS:
Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me;
Constant abiding, this is my plea;
Grant me Thy power, boundless and free:
Power with men and power with Thee.
Power in prayer, Lord, power in prayer,
Here 'mid earth's sin and sorrow and care;
Men lost and dying, souls in despair;
O give me power, power in prayer!
(chorus)
My weakened will, Lord, Thou canst renew;
My sinful nature Thou canst subdue;
Fill me just now with power anew,
Power to pray and power to do!
(chorus)
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
Thou art my pattern, day unto day;
Thou art my surety, now and for aye;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.
(chorus)
Just suppose God searched thru Heaven,
And couldn't find one willing to be-
The Supreme-Sacrifice that was needed
To buy eternal life for you and me.
CHORUS:
Oh, had it not been for a place called Mt. Calvary,
Had it not been for the old rugged cross;
Had it not been for a man called Jesus,
Then forever my soul would be lost.
But, I'm so glad He was willing to drink His bitter cup,
Although He prayed, "Father, let it pass from me;"
Oh, I'm so glad He didn't call Heaven's angels,
"From my hand pull these nails that torment me."
(chorus)
I care not today what the morrow may bring,
If shadows or sunshine or rain.
The Lord I know ruleth o'er everything,
And all of my worry is vain.
CHORUS:
Living by faith (yes, living by faith),
In Jesus above (in Jesus above),
Trusting confiding in His great love (yes, in His great love);
From all harm safe (safe from all harm)
In His sheltering arm (His sheltering arm),
I'm living by faith (I'm living by faith)
and feel no alarm (feel no alarm).
Though tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise,
Obscuring the brightness of life,
I'm never alarmed at the overcast skies,
The Master looks on at the strife.
(chorus)
I know that He safely will carry me through,
No matter what evils betide,
Why should I then care, Though the tempest may blow,
If Jesus walks close to my side.
(chorus)
Our Lord will return to this earth some sweet day,
Our troubles will then all be o'er,
The master so gently will lead us away,
Beyond that blest heavenly shore.
(chorus)
Angels never knew the joy that is mine,
For the blood has never washed their sins away;
Thought they sing in Heaven there will come a time
When silently they listen to me sing "Amazing Grace".
CHORUS:
It's a song holy angels cannot sing--
Amazing grace (Amazing grace),
How sweet the sound (how sweet the sound),
It's a song holy angels cannot sing:
"I once was lost (I once was lost),
But now I'm found (but now I'm found)."
"Holy is the Lord," the angels sing,
All around the throne of God continually,
And for me to join would be a natural thing:
But they just don't know the words
To "Love Lifted Me".
(chorus)
How Beautiful the feet that walked,
the long dusty roads and the hill to the cross.
How Beautiful the hands that served,
the wine and the bread to the sons of earth.
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
Is the body of Christ....
How Beautiful the heart that bled,
that took all my sins and bore them instead.
How Beautiful, the tender eyes,
that chose to forgive, and never despise.
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
Is the body of Christ....
And as He lay down His life,
We offer this sacrifice,
That we will live...
Just as He died!
Willing to pay the price!
Willing to pay the price......
How Beautiful, the radiant Bride,
as she waits for her Groom with His light in her eyes.
How Beautiful, when humble hearts give,
the fruit of pure lives, so that others may live!
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
Is the body of Christ....
How Beautiful! The feet that bring,
the sound of good news and the love of the King!
How Beautiful, the hands that serve,
the wine and the bread to the sons of earth.
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
How Beautiful.........
Is the body.........Of Christ.
When my soul was disturbed with sorrow,
And my heart was burdened with sin,
Jesus opened His arms of mercy
And tenderly took me in.
CHORUS:
There is peace in the time of trouble;
There is peace in the midst of the storm;
Oh, there is peace though the world be raging
In the shelter of His arms.
Though the world around be raging,
And is filled with many alarms,
Trust in Jesus and He will keep you
In the shelter of His arms.
(chorus)
The blessed Savior wrote my name when I was born again,
He wrote it when He saved my soul,
He wrote that I had made aright my every single wrong.
He wrote my name on Heaven's roll.
CHORUS:
He wrote my name (my name), way up (way up)
in glory (up in glory land).
He saved my soul (Jesus saved my soul)
From sin and shame (from sin and shame).
I never shall (I never shall) forget the day (forget the day)
The blessed Savior wrote my name (He wrote my name).
I'll be no stranger when I reach my home in glory land.
My name is in the Book of Life.
The blessed Savior wrote it when He saved my soul from sin.
He saved my soul from sin and strife.
(chorus)
If I should live a thousand years upon this earth below,
I never could forget the day
That Jesus wrote my name within the blessed Book of Life
And took my many sins away.
(chorus)
Today you walked another mile
Down the pathway that's leading you home.
And you met many travelers along the way,
Both strangers and friends that you've known.
And after you stopped to talk for a while
With those you met on the way,
But friend did you mention the name of the Lord
To someone today?
Some travelers you may meet today
May walk down this pathway no more.
For this could be the final mile,
Before he journeys on.
How great it would be to meet him again
In Heaven some glad day.
My friend, you'll be sure to meet him up there,
If you lead him to Jesus today.
(chorus)
Somewhere just across the Jordan River
Is a place of everlasting joy and peace;
And the tree of life is blooming there forever,
And a crown of life is waiting there for me.
CHORUS:
And that sounds like home to me
Right where I want to be.
There'll be no tears to fill our eyes again.
The hills will echo with the story
As we sing of His grace in glory.
Where the saints of God will be,
That sounds like home to me.
They say there are mansions there inside that city,
A crystal river flowing by the tree of life.
No pain and disappointment there to hurt us,
And Jesus Christ Himself will be the light.
(chorus)
I set the boundries of the ocean vast,
Carved out the mountains from the distant past,
Moulded a man from the miry clay,
Breathed in him life, but he went astray.
CHORUS:
I own the cattle on a thousand hills,
I write the music for the whippoorwills,
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,
But give you freedom to use your own will.
And if you want Me to, I'll make you whole,
I'll only do it tho' if you say so.
I'll never force you, for I love you so,
I give you freedom - Is it "yes" or "no"?
I hold the waters in My mighty hand
Spread out the heavens with a single span,
Make all creation tremble at My voice,
But My own children come to Me by choice.
(chorus)
Even the oxen knows the master's stall,
And sheep will recognize the shepherd's call
I could demand your love - I own you twice,
But only willing love is worth the price!
(chorus)
My holy word now I give to you,
As a shining lamp to guide you through,
My yoke is easy and My burden is light,
Keep looking up, your Heavenly home's in sight.
(chorus)
