We Gather Together

 

We Gather Together

Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather together in My name, there I am in the midst of them” NKJ. Whether you are in church, a Bible study, or among friends, Jesus is there with you. When we are worshiping Him, He is blessing us. He is making His will for us known and will direct us in His will. He will protect us from those who oppress us and He will fight the good fight for us. Let us gather and praise His name for He is an awesome God!

Lyrics by Theodore Baker, arranged by Edward Kremser

“We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing, He chastens and hastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing cease from distressing, sing praises to His name, He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine; So, from the beginning the fight we were winning, Thou, Lord, was at our side, the glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou leader in battle, and pray that Thou still our defender will be. Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy name be ever praised, O Lord, make us free!    Amen.

Whom Have I but Thee?

 

Whom Have I but Thee?

Jesus Christ, our Rock, our Redemer, Protector and comforter. He is all that we need. No one else can save our souls and give us eternal life. Let Him be our souls desire and let Him be your all in all.

Lyrics by Avis B. Christiansen, arranged by Rolf Jorgenson

“Whom have I on earth, Lord Jesus, whom in heaven above but Thee? Now and through eternal ages Thou are all in all to me!

Whom have I on earth, Lord Jesus, to sustain and comfort me? Thou, the Rock of my salvation, ever will my refuge be!

Whom have I in heaven, Lord Jesus, when life’s fleeting days are past? Whom but Thee, blest Lamb of Calvary, to receive my soul at last?

All in all! All in all! Thou are all in all to me, Thou are all my soul’s desire, now and through eternity!

Jesus Christ is Lord of All

 

Jesus Christ is Lord of All

Whether you are a follower of Christ or not, your outcome relies on Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all the earth, the people, all those who have gone before us and those who are in the upcoming generations. We can freely call Him King of Kings, Father of all. We can freely praise Him and adore Him. One might think they can run from Him or hide from Him, but Jesus knows all and sees all. He is here to stay. Trust in Him, let Him into your heart and believe that He is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Lyrics by Don Whitman, arranged by Don Whitman

“Heaven and earth proclaim Jesus Christ is Lord of all; King of Kings is He whom angel hosts adore! Let men and nations bring praises to Christ the King, who over all shall reign forevermore.

Glorious is His name given by God in heaven above, name above all names, and evermore shall be. Come every knee, and bow, come every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord eternally.

Sing, my heart, oh praise His name; Jesus Christ is Lord of all! Sing, ye saints, His grace proclaim; Jesus Christ is Lord of all! At His word the grave will open; at His feet death’s bond will fall. King of Kings, the mighty God, Jesus Christ is Lord of all! Jesus Christ is Lord of all!

Take the Name of Jesus with You

 

Take the Name of Jesus with You

How much of your time do you give to Jesus? Do you take Him with you everywhere you go. In the car, in the store, to your laying down and rising up? Do you only call on Him when you are in trouble or confused and lonely. Jesus is with you always, whether you feel His presence or not. Try focusing on Jesus every minute of the day. He will protect you, comfort you and give you great joy and in the end, He will take you home with Him.

Lyrics by Lydia Baxter, arranged by William H. Duane

“Take the name of Jesus with you, child of sorrow and of woe; It will joy and comfort give you, take it, then, wherever you go.

Take the name of Jesus ever, as a shield from every snare; If temptations round you gather, breathe that holy name in prayer.

O the precious name of Jesus! How it thrills our souls with joy, when His loving arms receive us, and His songs our tongues employ!

At the name of Jesus bowing, falling prostrate at His feet, King of kings in heaven will crown Him, when our journey is complete.

Precious name, O how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heaven; Precious name, o how sweet! Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

One Day!

 

One Day!

When we look around us and when we listen to the news, one cannot help but think that these dark days can’t get any worse. We expect any day now Jesus is going to come and take us home. Before Jesus came to earth as a baby, sin was rapid and the days were dark for everyone living in that time. The people heard of a baby born from a virgin to become mankind’s hope. People came from all around to praise and worship this child. He grew up being an example for all of us until one day those who opposed Him led Him up a hill to a cross where He was slain and died. Angels watched over His tomb until one day He arose from that grave and walked the earth once more. He finished His ministry on earth and ascended into heaven. This is our glorious Savior!

Lyrics by J. Wilbur chapman, arranged by Charles H. Marsh

“One day when heaven was filled with His praises, one day when sin was as black as could be, Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin. Dwelt among men, my example is He.

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain, one day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Suffering anguish, despised and reject; Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He.

One day they left Him alone in the garden, one day He rested, from suffering free; Angels came down over His tomb to keep vigil; Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He.

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, one day the stone rolled away from the door; Then He arose, over death He had conquered; Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, one day the skies with His glories will shine; Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing; Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me; Buried, He carried my sins far away; Rising, He justified freely forever; One day He’s coming oh, glorious day!

What a Wonderful Savior!

 

What a Wonderful Savior!

We do have a wonderful Savior! He’s done so much for us. He cares about every little thing we do or say and listens to our hearts when we are sad, angry, or happy. He wants us to know that He loves us so much that He was willing to send His one and only Son to die on the cross so that we can be washed in His blood and receive atonement for our sins. He gives us strength and power to overcome our weaknesses and invites us to give Him all our heart and praise Him in all things.

Lyrics by Elisha A. Hoffman, arranged by Elisha A. Hoffman

“Christ has for sin atonement made. What a wonderful Savior! We are redeemed! The price is paid! What a wonderful Savior!

I praise Him for the cleansing blood, what a wonderful Savior! That reconciled my soul to God; What a wonderful Savior!

He cleansed my heart from all its sin. What a wonderful Savior! And now He reigns and rules therein; What a wonderful Savior!

He gives me overcoming power, what a wonderful Savior! And triumph in each trying hour; What a wonderful Savior!

To Him I’ve given all my heart, what a wonderful Savior! The world shall never share a part; What a wonderful Savior!

What a wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Jesus! What a wonderful Savior is Jesus Lord!
