Bread of Heaven

 

Bread Of Heaven

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:9. Our daily bread is the Word of God. When we feast on the Word of God, we are soaking everything up in our Love for the Lord. We learn so much from His word and we learn to praise and worship Him in honor and truth.

Lyrics by Joseph Conder, arranged by Xavier Schnyder

“Bread of heaven, on Thee we feed, for Thy flesh is meat indeed; Ever let our souls be fed with this true and living bread.

Vine of heaven, Thy blood supplies this blest cup of sacrifice; Lord, Thy wounds our healing give, to Thy cross we look and live.

Day by Day, with strength supplied through the life of Him who died, Lord of life, O let us be rooted, grafted, built on Thee!”

According to Thy Gracious Word

 

According to Thy Gracious Word

In everything we say and do we must remember Jesus and His great sacrifice for us. When we take of the communion, we remember that He died not just for one but for all. He took on the sins of the whole world. No one other than Jesus could have done that, so we remember that all the pain He suffered, He did for you and me.

Lyrics by James Montgomery, arranged by Henry W. Greatorex’s Collection

“According to Thy gracious word, in meek humility, this will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee.

Thy body, broken for my sake, my bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, and thus remember Thee.

When to the cross I turn my eyes, and rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee

Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, and all Thy love to me; Yea, while I breathe, a pulse remains will I remember Thee.

And when these failing lips grow dumb, and mind and memory flee, when Thou shall in Thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.”

Follow On

 

Follow On

When you put your faith and trust in Jesus you will have no fears. You will follow Him wherever He leads you and all will turn out for the good because you know you have been called according to His purpose. It is good to remember that Christ is always near and will never leave you or forsake you.

Lyrics by W.O. Cushing, arranged by Robert Lowry

“Down in the valley with my Savior I would go, where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow; Everywhere He leads me I would follow on, follow on. Walking in His footsteps till the crown be won.

Down in the valley with my Savior I would go, where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow; With His hand to lead me I will never, never fear, danger cannot fright me if my Lord is near.

Down in the valley, or upon the mountain steep, close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep; He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod, up to where they gather on the hills of God.

Follow! Follow! I would follow Jesus! Anywhere, everywhere, I would follow on! Follow! Follow! I would follow Jesus! Everywhere He leads me I would follow on!

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

 

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

If you are part of a church family, then you know how important fellowship is. We all come together to worship the same God in Spirit and in truth. We praise Him together with one heart and we bear each other’s burdens. Our prayers go up in unison for those we love so much. If you are not part of a church family, I encourage you to listen to God’s leading and go where He sends you. There are many church buildings out there, but only one family and that is the family that believes in Jesus Christ and is building a relationship with Him to receive eternal life.

Lyrics by John Fawcett, arranged by Lowell Mason

“Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.

Before our Father’s throne, we pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares.

We share our mutual woes, our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. Amen”

O, Master Let Me Walk with Thee

 

O, Master, Let Me Walk with Thee

In today’s world there are many people who need help. Having worked in an office where we house people, we hear of many people that are homeless, distressed and no where to go. There is a great need for people who need to be fed, clothed and sheltered. Even though we cannot help everyone, there is always a way to volunteer our time and wealth with others.  In so doing, we can help them get to know Christ who works within us while helping them.

Lyrics by Washington Gladden, arranged by H. Percy Smith

“O Master, let me walk with Thee in lowly paths of service free; Tell me Thy secret; help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move by some clear, winning word of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay and guide them in the homeward way.

Teach me Thy patience! Still with Thee in closer, dearer company, in work that keeps faith sweet and strong, in trust that triumphs over wrong.

In hope that sends a shining ray far down the future’s broadening way, in peace that only Thou can give, with Thee, O Master, let me live.”

In The Garden

 

In The Garden

This is my favorite song. When I sing this song, I picture myself walking in God’s garden and Jesus coming along side me to hold my hand and tell me I am His own. I don’t believe any of us will understand true happiness until we are in the presence of Jesus Christ our Savior. Can you see yourself walking and talking with Jesus? I hope you can.

Lyrics by C. Austin Miles, arranged by C. Austin Miles

“I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses, and the voice I hear, falling on  my ear, the Son of God discloses.

He speaks and the sound of His voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing, and the melody that He gave to me within my heart is ringing.

I’d stay in the garden with Him though the night around me be falling But He bids me go; Through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own, and the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known.

The Touch of His Hand on MIne

 

The Touch of His Hand on Mine

When my husband was living his last days, the only way I could sleep was while I had my hands clasped together, I felt God’s presence in that hand. He held my hand every night and since then. I cannot have a peaceful night if God’s hands aren’t clasped with mine. Even better when I hug myself it is God’s arms that surround me.

Lyrics by Jessie B. Pounds, arranged by Henry P. Morton

“There are days so dark that I seek in vain for the face of my Friend Divine; But though darkness hide He is there to guide by the touch of His hand on mine.

There are times, when tired of the toilsome road, that for ways of the world I pine; But He draws me back to the upward track by the touch of His hand on mine.

When the way is dim, I cannot see through the mist of His wise design, how my glad heart yearns and my faith returns by the touch of His hand on mine.

In the last sad hour, as I stand alone where the powers of death combine, while the dark waves roll, He will guide my soul by the touch of His hand on mine.

Oh, the touch of His hand on mine! Oh, the touch of His hand on mine! There is grace and power in the trying hour, in the touch of His hand on mine. Amen”
