Come to the Feast

 

Come to the Feast

John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” Christ has invited us into His home, and He has a table spread like none other. All who are hungry and thirsty for His word are welcome. There is a place for you beside the Master. If you wait too long, you will miss out. Leave all your worries behind and soak up His love. He offers a door wide open to everlasting life.

Lyrics by Charles H. Gabriel, arranged by William A. Ogden

“All things are ready,” come to the feast! Come for the table now is spread; Ye famishing, ye weary come, and thou shall be richly fed.

“All things are ready,” come to the feast! Come for the door is open wide; A place of honor is reserved for you at the Master’s side.

“All things are ready,” come to the feast! Come, while He waits to welcome you; Delay not while the day is thine, tomorrow may never be.

“All things are ready,” come to the feast! Leave every care and worldly strife; Come, feast upon the Love of God, and drink everlasting life.

Hear the invitation, come whosoever will; praise God for full salvation, for “whosoever will.”

What Will You do with Jesus?

 

What Will You do With Jesus?

If you had been at Jesus’ trial, what would you have done? Would you have denied Him like Peter, would you have mocked Him and said He must be guilty since He is on trial? Would you have stood by His side to the bitter end like Mary. What would you do with Jesus? Jesus was perfect, there was no sin in Him. His trial was so that He could be condemned so that He would take away our sins. Would you deny Him or would you praise Him for loving you so much?

Lyrics by Author Unknown, arranged by M. L. Stocks

“Jesus is standing in Pilate’s hall, friendless, forsaken, betrayed by all; Hearken! What means the sudden call! What will you do with Jesus?

Jesus is standing on trial still, you can be false to Him if you will, you can be faithful through good or ill; What will you do with Jesus?

Will you evade Him as Pilate tried? Or will you choose Him, whatever betide? Vainly you struggle from Him to hide; What will you do with Jesus?

Will you like Peter, your Lord deny? Or will you scorn from His foes to fly. Daring for Jesus to live or die? What will you do with Jesus?”

“Jesus, I give Thee my heart today! Jesus, I’ll follow Thee all the way, Gladly obeying Thee!” will you say; “This will I do with Jesus!”

What will you do with Jesus? Neutral you cannot be; Some day your heart will be asking, “What will He do with me?”

Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling

 

Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling

Jesus is not going to force us to do anything. He has always given us a choice. He stands willing and ready to accept you as one of His own. He calls us softly and tenderly. He does not demand us to follow Him. Time is getting short though and we must decide now and forever if we are going to serve Him or serve our self. The choice is ours. He is pleading with you that you don’t wait too long.

Lyrics by Will L. Thompson, arranged by Will L. Thompson

“Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me; See, on the portals He’s watching and waiting, watching for you and for me.

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, pleading for you and for me? Why should we linger and heed not His mercies, mercies for you and for me?

Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, passing from you and from me; Shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, coming for you and for me.

Oh! 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.

Come home, come home, you who are weary, come home; Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, calling, O sinner, come home!

"Whosoever Will"

 

“Whosoever Will”

Whoever hears the Word of God may be inclined to share it with others. Who wouldn’t want to spread the good news? It is for everyone and it is the road to salvation. Whoever comes to God, must not delay for Jesus is the only way to reach God. It means an eternity in heaven with our Heavenly Father.

Lyrics by Philip P. Bliss, arranged by Philip P. Bliss

“Whosoever hears,” shout, shout the sound! Spread the blessed tidings all the world around; Tell the joyful news wherever man is found.

Whosoever comes, need not delay, now the door is open, enter while you may; Jesus is the true, the only Living Way.

“Whosoever will,” the promise is secure; “Whosoever will,” forever must endure; “Whosoever will,” tis life for evermore;

“Whosoever will may come,” “Whosoever will, whosoever will!” send the proclamation over vale and hill’ Tis a loving Father calls the wanderer home; “Whosoever will may come.”

Why Not Now?

 

                                                Why Not Now?

Today is your last day. You haven’t accepted God’s grace yet. You have wandered so far away from God, you may be thinking there is no hope left. What a troubled mind you have, and there is no peace in it. Why risk your last minutes when God is offering to pardon you of all your sins. Trust in Him, He offers peace and joy and a heavenly home to spend eternity in. Why not now? Come to Jesus now. Confess your sins and give yourself to Him. Receive Him now.

Lyrics by Daniel W. Whittle, arranged by Charles C. Case

“While we pray and while we plead, while you see your soul’s deep need, while our Father calls you home, will you not, my brother come?

You have wandered far away; Do not risk another day; Do not turn from God thy face but today accept His grace.

In this world you failed to find aught of peace for troubled mind; Come to Christ, on Him believe, peace and joy you shall receive.

Come to Christ, confession make; come to Christ, and pardon take; Trust in Him from day to day, He will keep you all the way.

Why not now? Why not now? Why not come to Jesus now? Why not now? Why not now? Why not come to Jesus now?

Give Me Thy Heart

 

                                                Give Me Thy Heart

God says, “Give me your heart.” God gave us His heart when He gave us His Son. In return, He wants us to give Him our heart. Our heart is where love resides. When we give love to God, we surrender all our past sins and desires to Him. He gave us everything that we have and He wants us to give our all to Him. Our gracious, merciful God is wanting your love. He doesn’t need it, but He freely gives us His love, so shall we freely give our love to Him.

Lyrics by Eliza E. Hewitt, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“Give my thy heart, “says the Father above, no gift so precious to Him as our love, softly He whispers wherever thou are, “gratefully trust me, and give me thy heart.”

“Give me thy heart, “says the Savior of men, calling in mercy again and again; “turn now from sin, and from evil depart, have I not died for thee? Give me thy heart.

“Give me thy heart, “says the Spirit divine, “all that thou hast, to my keeping resign; Grace more abounding is mine to impart, make full surrender and give me thy heart.”

“Give me thy heart, give me thy heart,” Hear the soft whisper, wherever thou are; from this dark world He would draw thee apart, speaking so tenderly, “Give me thy heart.”

Almost Persuaded

 

                                                Almost Persuaded

Why aren’t you persuaded to follow Jesus? Don’t wait for your life to get better, make it better now. God will forgive your sins so don’t wait until you can conquer them on your own. It can’t be done. God is your helper and will conquer your struggles if only you let go and let Him. There is no time like the present, waiting may cost you your eternity in Heaven. Arms open wide, Jesus beckons you to come to Him and accept Him. Believe in Him, He will set you free.

Lyrics by Philip P. Bliss, arranged by Philip P. Bliss

“Almost persuaded” now to believe; “Almost persuaded,” Christ to receive; Seems now some soul to say, “Go, Spirit, go Thy way, some more convenient day on Thee I’ll call.

“Almost persuaded” come, come today; “Almost persuaded,” turn not away; Jesus invites you here, Angels are lingering near, prayers rise from hearts so dear, O wanderer come.

“Almost persuaded,” harvest is past! “Almost persuaded,” doom comes at last! “Almost” cannot avail; “Almost” is but to fail! Sad, Sad that bitter wail, “Almost,” but lost.”
