I Will Follow Thee

 

                                                I Will Follow Thee

If you have ever been blindfolded and told to follow the sound of someone’s voice, you know that it takes trust, even when you don’t know where they are taking you. Our Savior will lead us in places where we have no idea where we will end up, it may be a long road, filled with challenges, maybe even heartaches. But knowing the destination is salvation in heaven, we are more willing to trust Him and let Him lead us.    

Lyrics by Johnson Oatman, Jr, arranged by Edwin O. Excell

“Savior, I will follow Thee, Thou are all the world to me; Though the way I cannot see, Savior, I will follow Thee.

Savior, I will follow Thee, though it lead me to the cross; counting all things here but dross, Savior, I will follow Thee.

Savior, I will follow Thee, though it lead through toil and tears; Through the long and weary years, Savior, I will follow Thee.

Savior, I will follow Thee till the toils of life are over; Till I reach the Golden Shore, Savior, I will follow Thee.

Follow Thee, I will follow Thee, Follow Thee, I will follow Thee, follow till the day is done, Follow till the crown is won, Savior, I will follow Thee.”

All For Jesus

 

                                                    All For Jesus

Everything we say and do must be done with Jesus on our mind. He is not a now and then thought; He is a minute-to-minute thought. He knows us and loves us and we should always be mindful of His presence in our lives. We are to praise Him through all that we say and do. Get to know Jesus, let Him enter your life and say and do all for Jesus. You can’t go wrong!

Lyrics by Mary D. James, arranged by source unknown

“All for Jesus, all for Jesus! All my being’s ransomed powers; All my thoughts and words and doings, all my days and all my hours, all for Jesus! All for Jesus! All my days and all my hours.

Let my hands perform His bidding, let my feet run in His ways; Let my eyes see Jesus only, let my lips speak forth His praise, All for Jesus! All for Jesus! Let my lips speak forth His praise.

Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside; So enchained my spirit’s vision, looking at the crucified. All for Jesus! All for Jesus! Looking at the crucified.

Oh, what wonder! How amazing! Jesus, glorious King of kings, deigns to call me His beloved, lets me rest beneath His wings. All for Jesus! All for Jesus! Resting now beneath His wings.

Where He Leads Me

 

                                                    Where He Leads Me

Are you allowing God to lead you, or are you trying to lead Him? If we try to do things our way, then we are trying to lead God as we don’t trust Him to lead us. While God is leading us, He is granting us grace and mercy and forgiving us when we sin. He will go with us through the good times and the bad times. He proves over and over that His way is the best way. Follow Him and He will lead you home. Your place in heaven is being prepared just for you.

Lyrics by E.W. Blandy, arranged by John S. Norris

“I can hear my Savior calling, I can hear my Savior calling, I can hear my Savior calling, “Take thy cross and follow, follow M.”

I’ll go with Him through the garden, I’ll go with Him through the garden, I'll go with through the garden, I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I’ll go with Him through the judgment, I’ll go with Him through the judgment, I'll go with Him through the judgment, I'll go with Him, with Him all the way.

He will give me grace and glory, He will give me grace and glory, He will give me grace and glory, And go with me, with me all the way.

Where He leads me I will follow, Where He leads me I will follow, Where He leads me I will follow. I’ll go with Him, with Him all the way.

I Surrender All

 

I Surrender All

When we come to Jesus, we surrender all we have. We live our daily lives for Him and give up our worldly pleasures. In turn, He sends His Holy Spirit to dwell within us, complete with His love and power. He blesses us in all our needs and through our struggles. His Love for us is that strong.

Lyrics by Judson W. Van DeVenter, arranged by Winfield S. Werden

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

All to Jesus I surrender, humbly at His feet I bow, worldly pleasures all forsaken, take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender, make me, Savior, wholly Thine; Let me feel the Holy Spirit, truly know that Thou are mine.

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

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

Is Your All on the Altar?

 

Is Your All on the Altar?

Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God. There are moments in life when we feel our faith is weak and our prayers are not heard. God, of course knows our weaknesses and He is willing to strengthen us, if only we ask. God will always give us free will to make our choices, but His greatest desire is for us to give our all to Him. All of things, all of self, so that He can bless us and keep us under His wings. Let’s not hold anything back but let go and grow closer to God.

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

“You have longed for sweet peace, and for faith to increase, and have earnestly fervently prayed; But you cannot have rest or be perfectly blest until all on the alter on the altar is laid.

Would you walk with the Lord, in the light of His word and have peace and contentment always, you must do His sweet will, to be free from all ill, on the altar your all you must lay.

Oh, we never can know what the Lord will bestow of the blessings for which we have prayed, till our body and soul He does fully control, and our all on the altar is laid.

Who can tell all the love He will send from above, and how happy our hearts will be made, of the fellowship sweet we shall share at His feet, when our all on the altar is laid.

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid? Your heart, does the Spirit control? You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest, as you yield Him your body and soul.”

Hiding in Thee

 

Hiding in Thee

Jesus is my Rock; He is higher than I. He knows the struggles I am going through. He promises peace and protection, so when life seems to come heavy upon us, remember to Hide in the rock of ages. He will give us strength and courage to overcome whatever may come about. Our struggles may seem like a little matter to others but God takes all our problems on as if they were His own. Rest in the arms of Jesus, He is here for us.

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

“O safe to the rock that is higher I. My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly; So sinful, so weary Thine; Thine would I be; Thou blest “Rock of ages.” I’m hiding in Thee.

In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow’s lone hour, in times when temptation cast over me its power; In the tempests of life, on its wide, weaving sea, Thou blest “Rock of Ages” I’m hiding in Thee.

How often in the conflict, when pressed by the foe, I have fled to my refuge and breathed out my woe; How often, when trials like sea billows roll, Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou rock of my soul.

Hiding in Thee, Hiding in Thee, Thou blest “Rock of Ages.” I’m hiding in Thee.”

Take My Life, and Let It Be

 

Take My Life, and Let It Be

To be consecrated  means to be set apart or devoted to someone special. We, as Christians are to be set apart from the world. We are to devote our hands, feet, mouth and love to the service of the Lord. We are to be willing to put ourselves in God’s hands.

Lyrics by Frances R. Havergal, arranged by H. A. Cesar Malan

“Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee; Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love, at the impulse of Thy Love.

Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee; Take my voice, and let me sing always, only for my King, always, only for my King.

Take my lips and let them be filled with messages for Thee; Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold, not a mite would I withhold.

Take my Love, my God, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store; Take myself and I will be ever only all for Thee, ever only all for Thee.
