Jesus is All the World to Me

 

Jesus is All the World to Me.

I love this song because it speaks my heart. Jesus is all the world to me. I know I can trust Him with everything I have, everything I do and any place I go. He watches over me and He never leaves me. He knows my every thought and every care. He listens to me and He answers my prayers. What more can anyone ask for in someone who Loves us so much!

Lyrics by Will H. Thompson, arranged by Will L. Thompson

“Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go, No other one can cheer me so; When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s, my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, my friend in trials sore; I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them o’er and o’er. He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest’s golden grain; Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, He’s, my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, and true to Him I’ll be Oh, how could I this friend deny, when He’s so true to me?  Following Him I know I’m right, He watches over me day and night; following Him, by day and night, He’s, my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend; I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when life’s fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a friend; Beautiful life that has no end; Eternal life, eternal joy, He’s, my friend.”

He Leadeth Me

 

He Leadeth Me

It is a blessed thought to know wherever we are, whatever we are doing. God is always there to lead us. Even in our deepest despair, in our gloomiest thoughts, Jesus is there to lead us through our sufferings. Take the hand of God and allow Him to lead you wherever you may go. Have faith and trust that He knows what is best for you and will lead you down the path to salvation.

Lyrics by Joseph H. Gilmore, arranged by William B. Bradbury

“He leadeth, me O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught! What’re I do, where’re I be, still tis God’s hand that leadeth me.

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom, sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom, by waters still, o’er troubled sea, still tis His hand that leadeth me.

Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, nor ever murmur nor repine, content, whatever lot I see, since tis my God that leadeth me.

And when my task on earth is done, when, by Thy grace, the victory’s won, even death’s cold wave I will not flee, since God through Jordan leadeth me,

He leadeth me, He leadeth me! By His own hand He leadeth me! His faithful follower I would be, for by His had He leadeth me.”

Jesus Has Lifted Me

 

            Jesus Has Lifted Me

Have you ever been spiritually moved? If you have, you know it exhilarates you and you feel like Jesus has lifted you up in His glory. Nothing you have experienced here on earth is going to compare to the feelings you have when Jesus lifts you up to His glory above. It is because He loves us so much that He wants to lift us all up to be with Him in heaven. Give up your life to self and live your life in service to Him and He will lift you up.

Lyrics by Avis B. Christensen, arranged by Haldor Lillenas

“Out of the depths to the glory above, I have been lifted in wonderful love; From every fetter my spirit is free, for Jesus has lifted me!

Out of the world in the heavenly rest, into the land of the ransomed and blessed; there in the glory with Him I shall be, for Jesus has lifted me!

Out of myself into Him I adore, there to a bide in His love evermore; Through endless ages His glory to see, My Jesus has lifted me!

Jesus has lifted me! Jesus has lifted me! Out of the night into glorious light, Yes, Jesus has lifted me!”

I Love to Tell the Story

 

I love to Tell the Story

Put a group of bible Trivia players together and you will find various levels of knowledge. Some know the Bible well enough to get most of the answers right, others can remember some of the stories and others may not know the story at all. Bible Trivia is a great place to learn, but an even greater place, besides studying the Bible yourself is by word of mouth. I love to tell the story of Jesus. It’s the only story that rings true in every sense. It’s the only story that can truly encourage a person and offers peace.

Lyrics A. Catherine Hankey, arranged by William G. Fischer

“I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love, I love to tell the story, because I know tis true; it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.

I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams. I love to tell the story; it did so much for me; and that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.

I love to tell the story, tis pleasant to repeat what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet. I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God’s own holy word.

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear if like the rest. And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song, “Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.”

I love to tell the story, “Twill be my theme in glory to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.”

I Love Him Because He First Loved Me

 

I love Him Because He First Loved Me

Not only did Jesus die on the cross for you and I, but He has also consistently throughout our lifetime done so much to show His love for us. I Love Him because He first Loved Me and He Loves you and I still and always will forever and ever. Just contemplate How He shows His love for you daily. He is always with us, always listening to and tending to our needs. He bids us to come to Him and He will lift our burdens. Pray your prayers and see for yourself His answers.

Lyrics by Frank E. Roush, arranged by J.E. Sturgis

“Christ Jesus my Lord from heaven came, to save me from guilt and sin and shame; His death on the cross of Calvary brought pardon and gave me liberty.

He sweat drops of blood in prayer for me, heart-broken in dark Gethsemane, while angels from blessed realms of light gave strength to His aching heart that night.

Up Calvary’s hill the cross He bore, and for me a crown of thorns He wore; They nailed Him upon the tree to die, then darkness came over the earth and sky.

My Lord who was slain by sinful man, a wonderful friend to me has been; He rose from the tomb with victory, and now I love Him who first loved me.

I love Him because He first loved me, He first loved me, He first loved me; I love Him because He first loved me and died on the cross of Calvary.”

I Know Whom I have Believed

 

I Know Whom I have Believed

If you ever looked back over your life and recognized the sins you have committed, you might be like David and ask “What is man that you are mindful of him?” We are all sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God. So, what makes us worthy of God’s love and compassion? Why does He consider us special in His eyes? God’s grace is overflowing even to you and I and for me I am thankful for it.

Lyrics by Daniel W. Whittle, arranged by James McGranahan

“I know not why God’s wondrous grace to me He hath made known, nor why unworthy, Christ in love redeemed me for His own.

I know not how this saving faith to me He did impart, nor how believing in His word wrought peace within my heart.

I know not how the Spirit moves, convincing men of sin, revealing Jesus through the Word, creating faith in Him.

I know not what of good or ill may be reserved for me, of weary ways or golden days, before His face I see.

I know not when my Lord may come, at night or noonday fair, nor if I walk the vale with Him, or “meet Him in the air.”

But “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that day.”

I Belong to the King

 

                                    I Belong to the King

“But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven.” Hebrews 12:22-23. O How wonderful it is to belong to the King and be accepted into this glorious city!

Lyrics by Ida L. Reed, arranged by Maurice A. Clifton

“I belong to the King, I’m a child of His love, I shall dwell in His palace so fair; For He tells of its bliss in yon heaven above, And His children in splendor shall share.

I belong to the King, and He loves me I know, For His mercy and kindness, so free, are unceasingly mine, wheresoever I go, and my refuge unfailing is He.

I belong to the King, and His promise is sure that we all shall be gathered at last in His kingdom above, by life’s waters so pure, when this life with its trials is past.

I belong to the King, I’m a child of His love, and He never forsakes His own; He will call me someday to His palace above, I shall dwell by His glorious throne.
