There is Joy in the Lord

There is joy in the Lord.  There is love in His Spirit.  There is hope in the knowledge of Him. 

There's a fountain that flows like a river from heaven, abounding in love to my soul.

All blessing and honor are His.  All glory and power are His. 

Let all wisdom and strength be the Lord’s in this place.  Let all glory be given to Him.

There is joy in the Lord.  There is love in His Spirit.  There is hope in the knowledge of Him. 

There's a fountain I know, every time I am near it, my heart overflows to the Lord.

All blessing and honor are His.  All glory and power are His. 

Let all wisdom and strength be the Lord’s in this place.  Let all glory be given to Him.

At the Cross ~ Hymn #188

Alas! And did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov'reign die?

Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?

Chorus:        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.

Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! ~ chorus

Well might the sun in darkenss hide and shut its glories in,

When Christ, the mighty Maker, died for man the creature's sin. ~ chorus

Thus might I hide my blushing face while His dear cross appears;

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. ~ chorus

But drops of grief can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe:

Here, Lord, I give myself away - 'tis all that I can do! ~ chorus

Isaac Watts

Psalm 25:8-10, 4-5 ~ Good and Upright

Good and upright is the Lord, therefore will He teach sinners in the way. 

The meek will He guide in judgment, the meek will He teach His way. 

All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth,

Unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. 

Show me Thy ways O Lord and teach me Thy paths. 

Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, for Thou art the God of my salvation,

And on Thee do I wait all the day.

~ repeat song; then ending:  Yes on Thee do I wait all the day.

I Surrender All ~ Hymn #366

All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live.

Refrain: I surrender all, I surrender all. All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken, Take me, Jesus, take me now.  [Refrain]

All to Jesus I surrender, Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
May Thy Holy Spirit fill me, May I know Thy pow'r divine.  [Refrain]

All to Jesus I surrender, Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing fall on me.  [Refrain]

Sanctify my eyes, O Lord, that I might see as You see. 

Sanctify my ears, O Lord, that I might hear as You hear.

Sanctify my lips, O Lord, that I might speak as You speak.

Make me like You, Lord, make me like You.

Sanctify my hands, O Lord, that I might touch as You touch. 

Sanctify my feet, O Lord, that I might walk where You walk.

As people look at me, O Lord, I pray that they might see You.  ~ (chorus)

Sanctify my mind O Lord, that I might think as You think. 

Sanctify my heart O Lord, that I might love as You love,

Help me to forgive, O Lord, that You might so forgive me.  ~ (chorus)

I Am Thine O Lord ~ Hymn #358

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith, and be closer drawn to Thee.

Refrain:       Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, by the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will be lost in Thine.  ~ refrain

Oh, the pure delight of a single hour that before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend!  ~ refrain

There are depths of love that I cannot know till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach till I rest in peace with Thee.  ~ refrain

Fanny Crosby – 1875

I Love to Tell the Story ~ Hymn #297

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love;
I love to tell the story, because I know its true,
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.

Refrain:       I love to tell the story! 'Twill be my theme in glory -
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story - 'tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it more wonderfully sweet;
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God's own holy Word.  ~ refrain

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest,
And when in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story, that I have loved so long.  ~ refrain
