I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

 

I love Thy Kingdom, Lord

If you are a Christian, and you go to church where you sing praises to God. Where you speak to Him in prayer and you study His words under a Minister, then you have had a taste of God’s Kingdom. A taste is something that if you really like it, then you want more of it. I want to see God’s Heavenly kingdom; it will be a joyous thing to behold. I want more than a taste of God’s kingdom; I want to experience it in person. Not here on earth, but at the throne of God.

Lyrics by Timothy Dwight, arranged by Aaron Williams

“I love Thy kingdom, Lord, the house of Thine abode, the church our blest Redeemer saved with His own precious blood.

I love Thy church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, dear as the apple of Thine eye, and graven on Thy hand.

For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; to her my cares and toils be given, till toils and cares shall end.

Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, her sweet communion, solemn vows, her hymns of love and praise.

Sure, as Thy truth shall last, to Zion shall be given the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heaven. Amen.

Under His Wings

 

Under His Wings

When we have Jesus, we can safely rest under His wings. He will shelter us from the storms. We need not be afraid when we put our trust in Jesus. He will calm our fears and comfort us in our sorrows. He will shelter us and keep us safe forevermore.

Lyrics by William O. Cushing, arranged by Ira D. Sankey

“Under His wings I am safely abiding; Though the night deepens and tempests are wild, still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me; He has redeemed me, and I am His child.

Under His wings, what a refuge in sorrow! How the heart yearningly turns to His rest! Often when earth has no balm for my healing, There I find comfort, and there I am blest.

Under His wings, O what precious enjoyment! There will I hide till life’s trials are over; Sheltered, protected, no evil can harm me; Resting in Jesus I’m safe evermore.

Under His wings, under His wings, who from His love can sever? Under His wings my soul shall abide, safely abide forever.”

The Solid Rock

 

The Solid Rock

Christ is the only solid rock you can stand on without sinking in the mire of your sin. His grace is everlasting and never changes. He is the One who can change your darkness into light and support you in your overwhelming moments. He keeps His promise to never leave you or forsake you, He is your hope and your invitation to answer Him when the trumpet sounds to find His children faultless before the throne.

Lyrics by Edward Mote, arranged by 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.

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, oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand.

Don't Turn the Savior Away

 

Don’t Turn the Savior Away

Why would you turn away someone so loving and kind that can offer you comfort and protection? The only alternative is to live for satan, which also means living for self. Your life might seem good with all your habits, but those are fleeting and they will not save you for eternal life. The choice is always yours but if you decide now to keep on living with your worldly values, it may be too late, later to turn to your Savior. Please don’t turn the Savior away.

Lyrics by Harry D. Clarke, arranged by Harry D. Clarke

“The Savior is calling, is calling for you, in accents so tender, so loving and true, how can you refuse Him? O heed His sweet call! O don’t turn the Savior away.

The savior is calling, why turn Him away? Sin’s burden is heavy, why longer delay? O heart full of sorrow, there’s comfort today; O, don’t turn the Savior away.

The Savior is calling, O, can it be true that life everlasting is waiting for you? Come now and receive Him to satan say nay, O, don’t turn the Savior away.

The Savior is calling from Calvary’s cross, where He died to save you at infinite cost, His heart there was broken for you and for me; O, don’t turn the Savior away.

Don’t turn the Savior away from your heart, don’t turn the Savior away from your heart; O hear Him pleading, O listen to His call, O, don’t turn the Savior away.

Saving the Lost

 

Saving the Lost

“Mark 16:15 “Go you therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” We are told to seek the lost and bring them to Jesus. There are still many people in this world, whether in your homeland or across the nation, that don’t know Jesus. It is God’s plan and our opportunity to show them who Jesus is and teach them His ways.

Lyrics by William A. Ogden, arranged by William A. Ogden

“Seeking the lost, yes, kindly entreating wanderers on the mountain astray; “Come unto Me,” His message repeating, words of the Master speaking today.

Seeking the lost and pointing to Jesus souls that are weak and hearts that are sore, leading them forth in ways of salvation, showing the path to life evermore.

Thus, I would go on missions of mercy, following Christ from day unto day, cheering the faint and raising the fallen, pointing the lost to Jesus the Way.

Going afar upon the mountain, bringing the wanderer back again, back again. Into the fold of my Redeemer, into the fold of My redeemer, Jesus, the Lamb for sinners slain, for sinners slain.

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?”
