Jesus, Savior

 

                                                            Jesus, Savior

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are saying that we surrender all that we have to Him. We don’t get to pick what part of our life we want to hand over to Jesus, He wants all of us, every single part of our life. When we do that, He guides us in making wise decisions, He lifts us up when we are down. He helps us in every aspect of our life. We become more like Christ when we surrender ourselves and our life to Him. We are loved by Him and want to hold us in His arms.

Lyrics by Herman Voss, arranged by Herman Voss

“Jesus, Savior, all I have is Thine, body, soul and will I now resign. Make me, keep me faithful unto Thee, Savior, through eternity.

Jesus, Savior, I would die to sin, come, oh come and live in me again. Mold me, fill me till the world shall see Jesus, Savior, living now in me.

Jesus, Savior, in this quiet hour, may I feel Thy Spirit’s strength and power; Take me, use me as Thou will each day, Savior, this I humbly pray.

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

 

                                    Tell Me the Stories of Jesus

So many questions we have that only God can answer. The answer can only come in the person of Jesus. Yet there are questions that are easily found in the book of God’s Word. There are many stories about Jesus; how He gathered all the children to Him, how He fed 5,000 people with only a few loaves of bread and some fish from a child’s basket. How He healed the sick and raised the dead. So many answers to our questions that can be found in the Bible. I encourage you to sit quietly with your Bible and get to know Jesus and all that He does for you. Build on a relationship that will take you to eternity with Him in heaven.

Lyrics by William H. Parker, arranged by Frederic A. Challenge

“Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; Things I would ask Him to tell me if He were here; Scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, stories of Jesus, tell them to me.

First let me hear how the children stood round His knee; And I shall fancy His blessing resting on me; Words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, all in the love-light of Jesus’ face.

Into the city I’d follow the children’s band, waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand; One of His heralds, Yes, I would sing loudest hosannas! Jesus is King.” Amen

Savior Breathe an Evening Blessing

 

                        Savior Breathe an Evening Blessing

Too often, we go to bed and our mind takes off like it never had thought before. Swirling, from one subject to another. We worry about things we have no control over and things that may or may not happen. We need a blessing from the Savior; we pray that it is so. The night becomes dark and dreary, but we must understand that God’s angels are watching over us. He can calm our thoughts and give us peace that passes all understanding. We just need to ask for it, and it is done. Let go, Let God. That is my mantra when I have trouble sleeping. And if I die before morning, then I will rejoice that I am in heaven worshiping God Almighty.

Lyrics by James Edmenton, Arranged by George C. Stebbins

“Savior, breathe an evening blessing ere repose our spirit’s seal; Sin and want we come confessing, Thou canst save and Thou canst heal.

Though destruction walk around us. Though the arrows past us fly; Angel guards from Thee surround us, we are safe if Thou are nigh.

Though the night be dark and dreary, darkness cannot hide from Thee; Thou are He who, never weary, watchest where Thy people be.

Should swift death this night overtake us, and our couch become our tomb, may the morn in heaven awake us, clad in bright and deathless bloom.” Amen

Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?

 

                        Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?

It was for our sins that Jesus died and what have we done about it? Has He died in vain or are we truly repentant of our sins? We must bear the burden of our sins and ask for forgiveness. Repentance means a change of heart. If we are going to ask, then we must repent. Let’s not let Jesus bear the cross alone, we have our own crosses to bear, and Jesus can help us overcome them and we need to do our part in allowing that to happen.

Lyrics by Thomas Shepherd, arranged by George N. Allen

“Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and all the world go free? No; there’s a cross for everyone, and there’s a cross for me.

The consecrated cross I’ll bear, till death shall set me free, and then go home my crown to wear, for there’s a crown for me.

Upon the crystal pavement, down at Jesus’ pierced feet, joyful, I’ll cast my golden crown, and His dear name repeat.

O precious cross! O glorious crown! O resurrection day! Ye angels, from the stars come down, and bear my soul away.

Glory to His Name

 

                        Glory to His Name

There is no other Name that we would glorify than the One who went to the cross and saved us from our sins. He is the precious fountain that fills our thirst and makes us complete. He can enter into your soul, all you have to do is accept Him as your Lord and Savior and be buried in the watery grave of baptism.

 Lyrics by Elisha A. Hoffman, arranged by John H. Stockton

“Down at the cross where my Savior died, down where the cleansing from sin I  cried, thee to my heart was the blood applied, Glory to His name.

I am so wondrously saved from sin, Jesus so sweetly abides within, there at the cross where He took me in, Glory to His name.

Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin, I am so glad I have entered in; There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean, Glory to His name.

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet; Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet; Plunge in today, and be made complete, Glory to His name.

Glory to His name, Glory to His name, there to my heart was the blood applied, Glory to His name.

Will Jesus Find Us Watching?

 

                        Will Jesus Find Us Watching?

We know that God watches over us day and night. But are we aware that Jesus is coming soon and we need to be watching for Him? We don’t know when He is coming so we need to prepare ourselves for this expected visitor. We need to live as if every day is the day He will come to take us home with Him. Our lives should be in a way that when He comes, He can truly say, “well done.” Whatever you do in your daily walk be sure it is God’s way so that He will find you watching for Him.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William H. Doane

“When Jesus comes to reward His servants, whether it be noon or night, faithful to Him will He find us watching, with our lamps all trimmed and bright?

If, at the dawn of the early morning, He shall call us one by one, when to the Lord we restore our talents, will He answer thee, “Well done”?

Have we been true to the trust He left us? Do we seek to do our best? If in our hearts there is naught condemns us, we shall have a glorious rest.

Blessed are those whom the Lord finds watching, in His glory they shall share; If He shall come at dawn or midnight, will He find us watching there?

Oh, can we say we are ready, brother? Ready for the soul’s bright home? Say, will He find you and me still watching, waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come.”

Make Me a Channel of Blessing

 

                        Make Me a Channel of Blessing

How is your walk with God? Does it show up in your character? Can the love of God be seen in you? If we are to become a channel of blessing to those around us, we must first have a relationship with God. The blessings He hands down to us will freely flow onto those around us. Our speech, our actions speak volumes about our relationship with Jesus. We inherit a passion for those who are lost and have no trouble sharing the plan of salvation. The reason others are presented to us is that we might lead them to eternal life and receive the blessings of God.

Lyrics by Harper G. Smyth, arranged by Harper G. Smyth

“Is your life a channel of blessing? Is the love of God flowing through you? Are you telling the lost of the Savior? Are you ready His service to do?

Is your life a channel of blessing? Are you burdened by those that are lost? Have you urged upon those who are straying, the Savior who died on the cross?

Is your life a channel of blessing? Is it daily telling for Him? Have you spoken the word of salvation to those who are dying in sin?

We cannot be channels of blessing if our lives are not free from known sin; We will barriers be and a hindrance to those who are trying to win.

Make me a channel of blessing today, Make me a channel of blessing, I pray; My life possessing my service blessing, make me a channel of blessing today.”

Others

 

                                                            Others

Growing up, our parents taught us to live by this motto: Jesus first, others second, yourself last. Take the first letter of each word and it makes JOY. It is a joy to think of others before us. The reward comes in the form of God’s blessings. Putting God first in our life is a blessing. He in turn blesses us, whereby we can bless others. Giving up our own selfish desires and needs helps us grow in a closer relationship to Jesus and to others. Think of the song, “I Surrender all” and then grow in it.

Lyrics by Charles D. Meigs, arranged by Roscoe S. Nickerson

“Lord help me live from day to day, in such a self-forgetful way. That even when I kneel to pray, my prayer shall be for others.

Help me in all the work I do, to ever be sincere and true, and know that all I’d do for you, must needs be done for others.

Let “self” be crucified and slain, and buried deep; and all in vain may efforts be to rise again, Unless to live for others.

And when on earth my work is done, and my new work in heavens begun, May I forget the crown I’ve won while thinking still of others.

Others, Lord, yes, others, let this my motto be. Help me to live for others, that I might live for Thee.”

Make Me a Blessing

 

                                    Make Me a blessing

I have a Ministry from the Lord that I consider a blessing to me and to all those to whom I pass the blessing. There are many people in need of the Word of God and in need of physical and spiritual wealth. There are also people who might have everything but need a smile or a hug. All of these are blessings from God, that we count as blessings to pass forward in other’ lives. Help us Lord Jesus to Love those as you Love us.

Lyrics by Ira B. Wilson, arranged by George S. Schuler

“Out in the highways and byways of life, many are weary and sad; Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife, making the sorrowing glad.

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love, tell of His power to forgive; Others will trust Him if only you prove true, every moment you live.

Give as was given to you in your need, Love as the Master loved you. Be to the helpless a helper indeed, unto your mission be true.

Make me a blessing, make me a blessing, out of my life may Jesus shine; Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray, make be a blessing to someone today.”

It Pays to Serve Jesus

 

                                    It Pays to Serve Jesus

Whether we are providing food for the hungry, clothes for the needy, or help for the helpless. Whatever we do to serve others, it must be done in the name of Jesus. All credit goes to God. He gave us the skills and compassion to do the things we do. It is God who blesses us in order that we might bless others. In all that we say and do, let us do it all to the glory of God, and in a manner pleasing to Him.

Lyrics by Frank C. Huston, arranged by Frank C. Huston

“The service of Jesus true pleasure it affords, in Him there is joy without an alloy; Tis heaven to trust Him and rest on His words; it pays to serve Jesus each day.

It pays to serve Jesus whatever may betide, it pays to be true whatever you may do; Tis riches of mercy in Him to abide; it pays to serve Jesus each day.

Though sometimes the shadows may hang over the way, and sorrows may come to beckon us home, our precious Redeemer each toil will repay; it pays to serve Jesus each day.

It pays to serve Jesus, it pays everyday, it pays every step of the way; Though the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear, you’ll be happy each step of the way.”

My Savior's Love

 

                                                My Savior’s Love

When Jesus went to the cross, He wasn’t forced to do it. He didn’t do it for Himself. Not His will but God’s will. He willingly went to the cross to save you and I for our sins. When He walked this earth, He saw sin in everyone. He saw the great need for His love and care. He loved us so much that He cried for us, He sweat-drops of blood for us. Have you loved anyone that deeply? So deeply that you would be willing to die for them?

Lyrics by Charles H. Gabriel, arranged by Charles H. Gabriel

“I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene, and wonder how He could love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean.

For me it was in the garden He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine,” He had no tears for His own griefs, but sweat-drops blood for mine.

In pity angels beheld Him and came from the world of light to comfort Him in the sorrows He bore for my soul that night.

He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own; He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered, and died alone.

When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, “Twill be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me.

How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be; How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!   Amen”

Let the Lower Lights be burning

 

                                    Let the Lower Lights Be Burning

I have never been to a lighthouse, but I understand how the concept could be compared to God’s mercy. His mercy is unending and it shines as far and as bright as a lighthouse. He wants us to share that mercy with Him and with others. Mercy means not getting what we deserve. None of us deserve God’s mercy but because He gives it as a gift, all we have to do is accept it and extend it to others that don’t deserve it either but need it. Let us be aware of the people God puts before us. It may be some poor struggling soul that needs saved.

Lyrics by Philip P. Bliss, arranged by Phillip P. Bliss

“Brightly beams our Father’s mercy from His lighthouse evermore, but to us He gives the keeping of the lighthouse along the shore.

Dark the night of sin has settled, loud the angry billows roar; Eager eyes are watching, longing, for the lights along the shore.

Trim your feeble lamp, my brother, some poor sailor tempest tossed, trying now to make the harbor, in the darkness may be lost.

Let the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across the wave! Some poor fainting, struggling seaman you may rescue, you may save.

God Be with You

 

                                                God Be with You

This is one of my favorite songs. It is a sentiment that can be used in different ways. It can be used as a parting remark to a friend or a loved one that you expect to see again, hoping for the very best for them while you are apart.

It can be parting words from a person who is dying and hopes to see you once again in heaven. It can also be a eulogy of a person who has already passed away. This would be an invitation for the ones at the funeral to follow God and allow Him to protect you until your dying day when you can meet that person once again in heaven.

Lyrics by Jeremiah E. Rankin, arranged by William G. Tomer

“God be with you till we meet again; By His counsels’ guide, uphold you, with His sheep securely fold you; God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again; Neath His wings protecting hide you, daily manna still provide you; God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again; When Life’s perils thick confound you, put His arms unfailing round you; God be with you till we meet again.

God be with you till we meet again; Keep love’s banner floating over you; Smite death’s threatening wave before you; God be with you till we meet again.

Till we meet, till we meet, till we meet at Jesus’ feet; Till we meet, till we meet, God be with you till we meet again.”

Savior, More Than Life to Me

 

                        Savior, More Than Life to Me

As this world changes, we need Jesus more than ever. To trust Him and know that He is always nearby. Trusting that He will guide us through this life and keep us from going astray. Striving always to Love Jesus more than ever and soak in His love for us.

Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William H. Doane

“Savior, more than life to me, I am clinging, clinging close to Thee; Let Thy precious blood applied, keep me ever, ever near Thy side.

Through this changing world below, lead me gently, gently as I go; Trusting Thee, I cannot stray, I can never, never lose my way.

Let me love Thee more and more, Till this fleeting, fleeting life is over; Till my soul is lost in love, in a brighter, brighter world above.

Every day, every hour, let me feel Thy cleansing power.

What if it Were Today?

 

                                                What if it Were Today?

What if Jesus were coming today, would you be ready? Are you ready to be taken up in the clouds or will you be left behind? Jesus is coming to raise the dead and to take His children home. He is looking for His faithful children that have surrendered to Him and have obeyed His commands. It is not enough to be good or a serving servant. He wants obedient servants. He wants us to shower Him with Love as He showers us with Love.

Lyrics by Leila N. Morris, arranged by Leila N. Morris

“Jesus is coming to earth again, what if it were today? Coming in power and love to reign, what if it were today? Coming to claim His chosen Bride, all the redeemed and purified, over this whole earth scattered wide, what if it were today?

Satan’s dominion will then be over, O that it were today! Sorrow and sighing shall be no more, O that it were today! Then shall the dead in Christ arise, caught up to meet Him in the skies, when shall these glories meet our eyes? What if it were today?

Faithful and true would He find us here if He should come today? Watching in gladness and not in fear, If He should come today? Signs of His coming multiply, morning light breaks in eastern sky, watch, for the time is drawing nigh, what if it were today?

Glory, glory! Joy to my heart  will bring; Glory, glory!  When we shall crown Him King; Glory, glory! Haste to prepare the way; Glory, glory! Jesus will come some day.

Have You Any Room for Jesus?

 

                                    Have You Any Room for Jesus?

What is it that you fill your waking hours with? Is there any room in your life for Jesus? Every minute of our life belongs to God. He gave us breath to live and the abilities we have to get through the day. As humans, we should be mindful of how much we give back to God? Is He welcome in our home, or do we have things we rather keep from Him? Do we spend any time talking to Him or are we too busy for Him? God knows all, sees all and wants to hear from us. He wants to be welcomed not only in your home, but also into your heart. Make God part of your life and He will guide you always.

Lyrics by source unknown, arranged by Daniel W. Whittle

“Have you any room for Jesus, He who bore your load of sin? As He knocks and asks admission, sinner, will you let Him in?

Room for pleasure, room for business, but for Christ the crucified, not a place that He can enter, in the heart for which He died?

Have you any room for Jesus, as in grace He calls again? O today is time accepted, tomorrow you may call in vain.

Room and time now give to Jesus, soon will pass God’s Day of grace; Soon thy heart left cold and silent, and thy Savior’s pleading cease.

Room for Jesus, King of Glory! Hasten now His word obey; Swing the heart’s door widely open, bid Him enter while you may.”

Is Thy Heart Right with God?

 

                                                Is thy Heart Right with God?

Where is your relationship with Jesus? Do you Love the Lord, your God with all your heart, soul and mind? Do you practice self-control? Is there sin still lingering in your life that you know you should give up and turn it over to Christ? Is your life in a place that you can purposely say, “I am going to go to heaven and be with Jesus”? Is your heart right with God?

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

“Have thy affections been nailed to the cross? Is thy heart right with God? Countest thou all things for Jesus but loss? Is thy heart right with God?

Hast thou dominion over self and over sin? Is thy heart right with God? Over all evil without and within? Is thy heart right with God?

Is there no more condemnation for sin? Is thy heart right with God? Does Jesus rule in the temple within? Is thy heart right with God?

Art thou now walking in heaven’s pure light? Is thy heart right with God? Is thy soul wearing the garment of white? Is thy heart right with God?

Is thy heart right with God, washed in the crimson flood, cleansed and made holy, humble and lowly, right in the sight of God?”

He is Coming Again

 

                                                He is Coming Again

Jesus is coming and there will be no more darkness, all our scars, aches and pains will go away. No more wheelchairs, false teeth or eyeglasses. We will be rejoicing so much that there will be no need for tears. Only happy tears. There will be no more sorrow, no more cloudy days. There we will be in the heavens rejoicing that Jesus has come for us. Oh, Happy days for that blessed assurance.  Come to Jesus today so that you can face this future with Him.

Lyrics by Mabel Johnston Camp, arranged by Mabel Johnston Camp

“Lift up your heads, pilgrims aweary, see day’s approach now crimson the sky; night shadows flee, and you beloved, awaited with longing, at last draws nigh.

Dark was the night, sin warred against us; Heavy the load of sorrow we bore; But now we see signs of His coming; Our hearts glow within us, Joy’s cup runneth over!

O blessed hope! O blissful promise! Filling  our hearts with rapture divine; O day of days! Hail Thy appearing! Thy transcendent glory forever shall shine.

Even so, come, Precious Lord Jesus; Creation waits redemption to see; Caught up in the clouds, soon we shall meet Thee; O blessed assurance, forever with Thee!

He is coming again, He is coming again, the very same Jesus, rejected of men; He is coming again, He is coming again with power and great glory, He is coming again!

Jesus Returneth

 

                                                Jesus Returneth

“But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” Matthew 24:36. No one knows when Jesus will appear. Many prophesy that they know but the Bible clearly states that no one knows, not even the angels. It could be when you’re sleeping, it could be in the middle of the day, it could be when and where you least expect it. So be ready because Christ will return soon.

Lyrics by H. L. Turner, arranged by James McGranahan

“It may be at morn, when the day is awaking, when sunlight through darkness and shadow is breaking, that Jesus will come in the fullness of glory, to receive from the world “His own”.

It may be at midday, it may be at twilight, it may be perchance, that the blackness of midnight will burst into light in the blaze of His glory, when Jesus receives “His own.”

While its hosts cry Hosanna, from heaven descending, with glorified saints and the angels attending, with grace on His brow, like a halo of glory, will Jesus receive “His own.”

Oh, joy! Oh, delight! Should we go without dying, no sickness, no sadness, no dread and no crying, caught up through the clouds with our Lord into glory, when Jesus receives “His own.”

O Lord Jesus, how long, how long ere we shout the glad song, Christ returneth! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen. Hallelujah! Amen.”

Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness

 

                                                Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness

Have you ever considered how far Jesus’ blood on the cross reached? It was not for just one person, or for those living in that day. His blood reached out to all of us. The song says there were sinners more than sands upon the shore. Consider, what a burden that was to bear upon Jesus’ shoulders. He not only bled for the people of the day but for generations after, even beyond us. Now He sits upon the throne waiting for whom He ransomed Himself for our sins.

Lyrics by Nicolaus L. Zinzendorf, arranged by William Gardener’s

“Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness my beauty are, my glorious dress; ‘Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, with joy shall I lift up my head.

Bold, shall I stand in Thy great day, for who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully absolved through these I am, from sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, which, at the mercy seat of God, forever doth for sinners plead, for me, even for my soul was shed.

Lord, I believe were sinners more than sands upon the ocean shore, thou has for all a ransom paid, for all a full atonement paid. Amen.”

Depth of Mercy! Can There Be

 

                                    Depth of Mercy! Can There Be

Justice means getting what we deserve. Mercy means not getting what we deserve. Grace means getting what we don’t deserve. Do we deserve mercy when we are such sinners? There are some who use His name in vain. Outright lie to another’s face. We do what we want to do and dismiss what God wants us to do. When our life centers around self and not God, do you think we deserve mercy? No, we don’t, but God hands it out anyway. His grace, His mercy are gifts given to us. When we repent of our sins, mercy abounds.

Lyrics by Charles Wesley, arranged by Willaim B. Bradberry

“Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear me, the chief of sinners spare?

I have long withstood His grace, long provoked Him to His face, would not hearken to His calls, grieved Him by a thousand falls.

Now incline me to repent; Let me now my sins lament; Now my foul revolt deplore, weep, believe, and sin no more.

There for me my Savior stands, holding forth His wounded hands; God is love I know, I feel, Jesus weeps and loves me still. Amen.”

I Long to Glorify Thee

 

                                    I Long to Glorify Thee

Once you become a child of God, He sends His Holy Spirit to dwell within you. It’s because Christ, died and rose again that we were made free from our sins. Now we can praise His name and live for Him and give our all to Him. Now we can look forward to the day He comes again to take us home with Him. We should be looking forward to the day that we can praise Him face to face. In all that we say and do, let us glorify His name.

Lyrics by Ralph Manchee, arranged by Herman Voss

“Christ my Lord gave all for me, that from sin I might be free, now in me He lives again, Glory to His precious name.

Christ my Lord arose and lives, over all the victory gives, now in Him I live anew, Praise His Name, I know it’s true.

Christ my Lord will come one day, take me home with Him to stay, then anew His praise I’ll sing: Reign with Him my Lord and King.

I long to glorify Thee, dear Lord, I long to glorify Thee. In all I do, in all I say, I long to glorify Thee.”

The Love of God

 

                                                The Love of God

No one could ever express enough the totality of God’s Love. There are no words that can describe it to the fullest. You can say it is brighter than the brightest star. It is higher than the highest mountain and deeper than the deepest sea. You cannot measure the time span of God’s Love. God’s love is everlasting and the most important aspect of God’s Love is the fact that God is Love. If you know God, you know Love. Every aspect of God is Love.

Lyrics by Frederick M. Lehman, arranged by Frederick M. Lehman

“The Love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell; The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from his sin.

When Hoary time shall pass away, and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When men who here refuse to pray, on rocks and hills and mountains call; God’s love, so sure, shall still endure, all measureless and strong; Redeeming race to Adam’s race -The saints and angels’ song.

Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made, were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man ascribe by trade; To write the love of God above would drain the oceans dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.

Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure; the saints and angel’s sung”

Jesus Never Fails

 

                                                Jesus Never Fails

Here on earth, we might have many friends. Some come; some go. True friends stick around when times get hard, others stay far away. Jesus, however, is always near and never leaves. He doesn’t fail us when things get tough. We can depend on him in the light of day and the darkness of night.

Lyrics by Arthur A. Luther, arranged by Arthur A. Luther

“Earthly friends my prove untrue, doubts and fears assail; One still loves and cares for you; Jesus never fails.

Though the sky be dark and drear, fierce and strong the gale, just remember He is near, and He will not fail.

In life’s dark and bitter hour love will still prevail; Trust His everlasting power, Jesus will not fail.

Jesus never fails, Jesus never fails; Heaven and earth may pass away but Jesus never fails.
