His Eye is on The Sparrow

 

His Eye is on The Sparrow

When we have a relationship with Jesus, we know that He watches over us. In fact, He watches over all His creation, and He provides for all of it. There is no reason to be discouraged or fearful when we know that God is watching over us. We can rest in His goodness and draw closer to Him by reading His Word and getting to know Him. It is great to know that someone with higher power has us in His sight.

Lyrics by Civilla D. Martin, arranged by Charles H. Gabriel

“Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home, when Jesus is my portion? His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear, and resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path He leads but one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, when songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me, I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, for His ey is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.”

He Hideth My Soul

 

He Hideth My Soul

We have a wonderful Savior that blesses us every day of our lives. He showers us with His love and kindness and fights our fights for us. He eases our burdens and turns them into blessings. He’s our great Redeemer and we should be looking forward to being with Him in heaven. God is good all the time and all the time He is good.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, a wonderful Savior to me, He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, where rivers of pleasure I see.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, He taketh my burden away, He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved, He giveth me strength as my day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns, and filled with His fullness divine, I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God for such a Redeemer is mine!

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise to meet Him in clouds of the sky, His perfect salvation, His wonderful love, I’ll shout with the millions on high.

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock that shadows a dry, thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, and covers me there with His hand, and covers me there with His hand.”

Trust in The Lord

 

Trust in The Lord

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all  your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6. God doesn’t look at things as we see them. He sees things as they are. He looks at our hearts while we tend to look on the outside appearance, and our judgments are based on the physical. God looks at things from a spiritual perspective. If we trust in God, there is no reason to be afraid. He will guide and direct us. He will protect us.

Lyrics by Thomas O. Chisholm, arranged by Wendell P. Loveless

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart,” This is God’s gracious command; “in all thy ways acknowledge Him, so shalt thou dwell in the land.”

“Trust in the Lord” who rules all, see all things as they are, be it a birdling in its nest, or yonder the uttermost star.

“Trust in the Lord” and peaceful be, fret not thy spirit in vain, what though the answer tarries long, still shall thou praise Him again.

“Trust in the Lord” His eye will guide all through the pathway ahead, He has redeemed and He will keep, Trust Him and be not afraid.

“Trust in the Lord,” O troubled soul, rest in the arms of His care; Whatever thy lot, it matters not, for nothing can trouble thee there; “Trust in the Lord,” O troubled soul, nothing can trouble thee there.

Trusting Jesus

 

Trusting Jesus

What does it mean to trust in God? It means believing that God Loves us and He wants the very best for us. It means that whether we are in the midst of a storm, or in the process of falling away from our relationship with Jesus, that God is still there, always will be and is waiting for us to come back to Him and trust Him that the storm will soon pass and He is with you in it. It means He will guide and direct us through our paths of life. Trusting that all things work out for the good for those who trust Him.

Lyrics by Edgar P. Stites, arranged by Ira D. Sankey

“Simply trusting every day, trusting through a stormy way; Even when my faith is small, trusting Jesus, that is all.

Brightly does His Spirit shine into this pour heart of mine; While He leads I cannot fail, trusting Jesus, that is all.

Singing if my way is clear; Praying if the path be drear; If in danger, for Him call; Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting Him while life shall last, trusting Him till earth be past; Till within the jasper wall, trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting as the moments fly, trusting as the days go by; Trusting Him whatever befall, trusting Jesus, that is all.”

Rock of Ages

 

Rock of Ages

Jesus is our rock; He alone can hide us and keep us safe. He alone can cleanse us with His blood. There is nothing He needs, nothing we can do that will keep Him from loving us and He alone can give us grace. We must give ourselves to Him so that we can reach His throne. He alone can save us from our guilt and shame.

Lyrics by Augustus M. Toplady, arranged by Thomas Hastings

“Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee; let the water and the blood, from Thy riven side which flowed. Be of sin the double cure, save me from its guilt and power.

Not the labors of my hands can fulfill Thy law’s demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly, wash me, Savior or I die!

While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see Thee on Thy judgment throne. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.

I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus

 

I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus

We don’t know why bad things happen in this world, but we can trust that Jesus will make it good. Sin came into this world with Adam and Eve, and it is here to stay until Jesus comes again to make it right. He died on the cross taking away our sins. Some, however, don’t recognize His sacrifice and go on doing horrible things. God allows awful things to happen so that we might turn to Him and accept His mercy and grace. Mankind lives upon their own understanding, but God says “not to lean upon your own understanding”. God’s ways are not man’s ways, but you can trust Him that He has a good plan for all of us and those plans are for our best interest. Don’t judge Him by what happens in the world but judge Him by all the good He has done for you. We may be in the world, but we don’t have to be of the world. Turn to God, and He will turn to you.

Lyrics by Frances R. Havergal, arranged by Ethelbert W. Bullinger

“I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus! Trusting only Thee! Trusting Thee for full salvation, Great and free.

I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus! At Thy feet I bow, For Thy grace and tender mercy, Trusting now!

I am trusting Thee to guide me; Thou alone shalt lead, every day and hour, supplying all I need.

I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus! Never let me fall! I am trusting Thee forever, and for all.”

'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

 

‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

It is not reality to believe that you can take everyone at their word. It’s not reality to believe that everyone keeps their promises. But there is one person that you can believe His words are truth and factual. That He keeps all His promises. Jesus alone can be trusted as your Savior and friend. He alone can give you peace that passes understanding. He alone can heal you of all your sicknesses, struggles and worries. Jesus will never leave you. He is always present and He loves you.

Lyrics by Louis M.R. Stead, arranged by William J. Kirkpatrick

“’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His Word; just to rest upon His promise; Just to know, “Thou saith the Lord.”

O how sweet to trust in Jesus, just to trust His cleansing blood; Just in simple faith to plunge me ‘neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ‘tis sweet to trust in Jesus, just from sin and self to cease; Just from Jesus simply taking life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that Thou art with me, will be with me to the end.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him over and over! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!
