Hold the Fort

 

Hold the Fort

There are physical wars, mental wars and spiritual wars. All of them are led by satan. Who better to turn to than Jesus Christ, Himself. God is the conqueror of all wars. We may have battles today that seem unending, but we know who wins the battles. Let God fight your fights for you. Don’t give in to satan for that is what he is here for. He is here to kill, steal and destroy. God is here to offer peace, Love and security.

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

“Ho, my comrades! See the signal wavering in the sky! Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.

See the mighty host advancing, satan leading on; Mighty men around us falling. Courage almost gone!

See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow! In our Leader’s name we triumph over every foe.

Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near; Onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades cheer!

“Hold the fort, for I am coming.” Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven. “By Thy grace we will.”

My Faith Looks Up to Thee

 

My Faith Looks Up to Thee

Faith is complete trust or confidence in someone or something. The faith God requires of us for salvation is belief in what the Bible says about who Jesus is and what He has done for us. Faith is trusting in His grace, and forgiveness of our sins. Faith is believing God will guide, guard and direct us. Faith is trusting that He will never leave us and He will always have our best interest at heart.

Lyrics by Ray Palmer, arranged by Lowell Mason

“My faith looks up to Thee, Thou lamb of Calvary, Savior divine! Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away, O let me from this day be wholly Thine!

May Thy rich grace impart strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire; As Thou has died for me, O may my love to Thee pure, warm, and changeless be, a living Fire!

While life’s dark maze I tread, and griefs around me spread, be Thou my guide; Bid darkness turn today, Wipe sorrow’s tears away, nor let me ever stray from Thee aside.

When ends life’s transient dream, when death’s cold, sullen stream shall over me roll; Blest Savior, then, in love, fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul!

Jesus Calls Us

 

Jesus Calls Us

In this world we will have struggles and will get weary. Jesus calls us to look to Him when times are hard. It’s not bad to ask others for advice but Jesus wants us to search Him and His words, to put away the things and worldly suggestions that we adore more than Him. He wants us to lean on Him so that in our joys and sorrows, we will know that He cares for us and will grant us His mercy. Jesus calls us to follow Him and to love Him more than anything else.

Lyrics by Cecil F. Alexander, arranged by William H. Jude

“Jesus calls us; over the tumult of our life’s wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice sounds, saying “Christian follow me.”

Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world’s golden store, from each idol that would keep us, saying, Christian, “love me more.”

In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still He calls, in cares and pleasures, “Christian, love me more than these.”

Jesus calls us; by thy mercies, Savior, may we hear Thy call, give our hearts to Thy obedience, serve and love Thee best of all.”
