The Light of the World is Jesus

 

The Light of the World is Jesus

When a person walks into a pitch-dark room, there is no light. When the world is filled with sinners, there is no light. There is hope though, when we have Jesus,  He is the light that fills the darkness. Light always banishes darkness and Jesus takes away our sins. Turn on the light in a dark room and you get clarity. Turn on the light of Jesus in our life and we see purpose. We live within His plan for us. He will guide us through the darkness and into the light.

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

“The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin; The light of the world is Jesus; Like sunshine at noonday His glory shone in.

No darkness have we who in Jesus abide, the light of the world is Jesus; We walk in the light when we follow our guide.

Ye dwellers in darkness with sin-blinded eyes, the light of the world is Jesus; Go. Wash at His bidding, and light will arise;

No need of the sunlight in heaven, we’re told, the light of the world is Jesus; The lamb is the light in the City of Gold.

The light of the world is Jesus, come to the light, tis shining for thee; Sweetly the light has dawned upon me; Once I was blind, but now I can see; The light of the world is Jesus.”

The Heavenly Vision

 

The Heavenly Vision

There was a time in my life that I worried about everything. Hearing that the U.S. is on high alert would send me into a panic attack. Now that I know Jesus and am confident in His power to control what goes on in the world and in my home, I don’t worry about things I have no control over. I trust that God is working for us and will someday send Jesus back to earth to retrieve His children and take us home with Him. This place is not our home; we are just passing through. Keeping our focus on Jesus will make troubles look smaller.

Lyrics by Helen H. Lemmel, arranged by Helen H. Lemmel

“O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you, see? There’s light for a look at the Savior, and life more abundant and free!

Through death into life everlasting He passed, and we follow Him there; Over us sin no more has dominion- for more than conquerors we are!

His word shall not fail you, He promised; Believe Him, and all will be well; Then go to a world that is dying, His perfect salvation to tell!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face.. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”

Our Great Savior

 

Our Great Savior

Who can you trust more than our Savior. He is so loving, compassionate and forgiving. There is no better friend on earth than Jesus Christ our Savior. Friends come and go, they leave when things get tough, they just pass by and never stay in one place. Jesus will never leave us and will always lift us up when we are down. If you are tired, sick, in need of direction, are mourning, then come to Jesus. He is a true friend.

Lyrics by J. Wilbur Chapman, arranged by Bowland W. Prichard

“Jesus! What a friend for Sinners! Jesus! Lover of my soul; Friends may fail me, foes assail me, He, my Savior, makes me whole.

Jesus! What a strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in Him; Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, He, my strength, my victory wins.

Jesus! What a help in sorrow! While the billows over me roll, even when my heart is breaking, He, my comfort, helps my soul.

Jesus! What a guide and keeper! While the tempest still is high, storms about me, night overtakes me, He, my pilot, hears my cry.

Jesus! I do now receive Him, more than all in Him I find, He has granted me forgiveness, I am His, and He is mine.

Hallelujah! What a Savior! Hallelujah! What a friend! Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end.”

Only Jesus

 

Only Jesus

If you’re a child of God, then you know that you belong to Jesus and He will care for you all the days of your life. He knows your deepest thoughts and knows what you long for. In the world there are many dark days and good reasons for depression. However, in Jesus, there is light and He will guide you in the darkest of day. There is no reason to fear what is happening on earth because we belong to Jesus and He is the one in control.

Lyrics by Avis B. Christiansen, arranged by Lance B. Latham

“I’ve found a refuge from life’s care in Jesus, I am hiding in His love divine; He fully understands my soul’s deep longing, and He whispers softly, “Thou are mine.”

I’ve found a precious joy in knowing Jesus, never dreamed of in this world of woe; No clouds, however dark, can dim the radiance of the heavenly light He doth bestow.

I’ve found a blessed hope divine in Jesus, Tis a Day Star ever shining bright; It fills my earthly way with heavenly glory, and it turns life’s darkness into light.

Only Jesus! Only Jesus! Only He can satisfy; Every burden becomes a blessing, when I know my Lord is nigh.

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

 

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Jesus is our refuge in time of troubles; He’s our protector through the storms. Jesus fights our battles for us and never leaves us to fight alone. Jesus is our Great Physician and all we need is faith and trust in Him. He is more than gracious and kind; He is our great Redeemer.

Lyrics by Charles Wesley, arranged by Simeon B. Marsh

“Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly. While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high;  Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last.

Other refuge have I none. Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone. Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing.

Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteous; Vile and full of sin I am, thou are full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Amen.”

He Took My Sins Away

 

He Took My Sins Away

When Jesus takes our sins away, He no longer remembers them, they are washed away. We, as humans, tend to look back at our sins and we relive the guilt and shame we once had. If we take that sin back to Jesus, He says, I don’t know what you are talking about. Didn’t I wash your sins away when I died on the cross? He doesn’t want us to look back. He wants us to look forward, take in His love and have peace in our heart. He will not condemn us for our past sins. If you come to Jesus today, He will wash your sins away and remember them no more.

Lyrics by Mrs. M. J. Harris, arranged by Mrs. M.J. Harris

“I came to Jesus, weary, worn, and sad. He took my sins away, He took my sins away, and now His love has made my heart so glad. He took my sins away.

The load of sin was more than I could bear, He took them all away, He took them all away, and now on Him I roll my every care. He took my sins away.

No condemnation have I in my heart. He took my sins away, He took my sins away, His perfect peace He did to me impart. He took my sins away.

If you will come to Jesus Christ today, He’ll take your sins away, He’ll take your sins away and keep you happy in His love each day. He’ll take your sins away.

He took my sins away, He took my sins away and keeps me singing every day! I’m so glad He took my sins away. He took my sins away.

Why Do I Sing About Jesus?

 

Why Do I Sing About Jesus?

When I am positive that God has answered my prayer, it thrills me. It thrills me so much that I sing about Jesus. One of the songs I enjoy singing when I know He has answered my prayers is “My God is an Awesome God.” It gladdens my heart when He shows me how kind He is to even listen to my prayers. He is so gracious. I feel blessed that He even thinks about me. I know I think about Him all the time. He makes me want to do better every day just because He shows me how much He loves me. Why wouldn’t I sing about Jesus? He is everything to me.

Lyrics by Albert A. Ketchum, arranged by Albert A. Ketchum

“Deep in my heart there’s a gladness, Jesus has saved me from sin! Praise to His name, what a Savior! Cleansing without and within.

Only a glimpse of His goodness, that was sufficient for me; Only one look at the Savior, then was my spirit set free.

He is the fairest of fair ones, He is the Lily, the Rose; Rivers of mercy surround Him, Grace, love and pity He shows.

Why do I sing about Jesus? Why is He precious to me? He is my Lord and my Savior, dying, He set me free.”
