I Gave My Life for Thee

 

I Gave My Life for Thee

Jesus, our precious Savior gave up His place in heaven to come down to earth. He left it all behind to be with mankind. He blessed the world with His presence and showed us how to live. He suffered with mankind to the very end of His life. His precious blood He shed for us so that our sins could be forgiven and so that we might have salvation with Him in heaven. What have you given in return? What have you left for Him? And how much do you suffer in the name of Jesus? Have you brought your all to Him?

Lyrics by Frances R. Havergal, arranged by Philip P. Bliss

“I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, that thou might ransomed be, and quickened from the dead; I gave, I gave My life for thee, What has thou given for Me?

My Father’s house of light, My glory circled throne I left for earthly night, for wanderings sad and lone; I left, I left if all for thee, has thou left aught for Me?

I suffered much for thee, more than thy tongue can tell, of bitterest agony, to rescue thee from hell; I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee, what has thou borne for Me?

And I have brought to thee, down from My home above, salvation full and free, my pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, what has thou brought to Me?

Let Jesus Come into Your Heart

 

Let Jesus Come into Your Heart

If you are sinning and you know it is a sin. If you are tired of this sin and need help in releasing it, then let Jesus come into your heart. He alone can help you when nothing else can do it. If you give up trying to release it yourself, ask God for forgiveness and put your trust in Him. Surrender all your efforts to Him and Let Jesus come into your heart.

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

“If you are tired of the load of your sin, Let Jesus come into your heart; If you desire a new life to begin, Let Jesus come into your heart.

If tis for purity now that you sigh, Let Jesus come into your heart; fountains for cleansing are flowing nearby, Let Jesus come into your heart.

If there’s a tempest your voice cannot still, Let Jesus come into your heart; If there’s a void this world never can fill, Let Jesus come into your heart.

If you would join the glad songs of the blest, Let Jesus come into your heart; If you would enter the mansions of rest, Let Jesus come into your heart.

Just now, your doubting give o’er; just now, reject Him no more; Just now, throw open the door; Let Jesus come into your heart.

Look to the Lamb of God

 

Look to the Lamb of God

When you are feeling trapped in sin. When you are feeling lonely. When you have doubts and fears. When you are tired and weak. Whether you are happy or sad, Look to the Lamb of God. He will free you from sin. He will be with you night and day. He will give you strength and comfort you in all your doubts and fears.

Lyrics by H. G. Jackson, arranged by James M. Black

“If you from sin are longing to be free, Look to the Lamb of God; He to redeem you, died on Calvary, Look to the Lamb of God.

When Satan tempts, and doubts and fears assail, Look to the Lamb of God; You in His strength, shall over all prevail, Look to the Lamb of God.

Are you aweary, does the way seem Long? Look to the Lamb of God; His love will cheer and fill your heart with song, Look to the Lamb of God.

Fear not when shadows on your pathway fall, Look to the Lamb of God; In joy or sorrow Christ is all in all, Look to the Lamb of God.

Look to the Lamb of God, Look to the Lamb of God, For He alone is able to save you. Look to the Lamb of God.”

I Am Coming, Lord

 

                                        I Am Coming, Lord

There is not one person on earth that God doesn’t think is worth saving. Jesus forgives you no matter what you have done. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life,” John 3:16. “The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not willing that any should perish, but that all shall reach repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9. Hear His welcome voice. Come to Him and be cleansed.

Lyrics by Lewis Hartsough, arranged by Lewis Hartsough.

“I hear Thy welcome voice, that calls me, Lord, to Thee for cleansing in Thy precious blood that flowed on Calvary.

Tho’ coming weak and vile, Thou dose my strength assure; Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse, till spotless and pure.

Tis Jesus calls me on to perfect faith and love, to perfect hope, and peace and trust, for earth and heaven above,

I am coming, Lord! Coming now to Thee! Wash me, cleanse me in the blood that flowed from Calvary!

Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior

 

Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior

When and if we are raptured up, the last thing we want is to be left behind. We sometimes wonder if God is too busy for us. It is a comfort to know that God knows everything about us and hears every word we think. He will not pass us by unless we don’t have a relationship with His Son, Jesus. If we pass Him by in denying Him, then He will surely pass us by. Being a child of God means we will meet Him at the throne of mercy, saved by His grace.

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

“Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry; while on others Thou are calling, do not pass me by.

Let me at a throne of mercy find a sweet relief, Kneeling there in deep contrition. Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in Thy merit, would I seek Thy face; heal my wounded, broken spirit. Save me by Thy grace.

Thou the spring of all my comfort, more than life to me, whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heaven but Thee?

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry; while on others Thou are calling, do not pass me by.”

Fill Me Now

 

Fill Me Now

There are times when we find that we learn one lesson in multiple ways. It is amazing how the Holy Spirit works in us to teach us what we need to know. You may be studying God’s Word and receive a similar lesson from the preacher the same morning or it may come up in a discussion you are having. When we are struggling to get an answer over a dilemma or need clarification, then when we ask God to send His Holy Spirit to teach us, He will gather all the data He needs and present it to us many times over until we learn what He wants us to know.

Lyrics by Elwood H. Stokes, arranged by John R. Sweney

“Hover o’er me, Holy Spirit, bathe my trembling heart and brow; Fill me with Thy hallowed presence, come, o come and fill me now.

Thou canst fill me, gracious Spirit, though I cannot tell Thee how; But I need Thee, greatly need Thee, come, o come and fill me now.

I am weakness, full of weakness, at Thy sacred feet I bow; Blest, divine, eternal Spirit, fill with power and fill me now.

Cleanse and comfort, bless and save me, bathe, O bathe my heart and brow; Thou are comforting and saving, thou are sweetly fill me now.

Fill me now, fill me now, Jesus, come and fill me now; fill me with Thy hallowed presence, come, O come and fill me now.”

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

 

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

When Jesus brings the New Jerusalem down to earth, we will see the place He prepared for us and will receive our crown for faithfulness. Jesus is all Mercy, Compassion and Love. He will take away our need to sin and we will enter His temple and serve Him as His hosts above. We will want to praise Him without ceasing and be glorified in His Love. We will be pure and spotless and see our great salvation restored in Jesus. We will gladly throw our crowns before the throne of God.

Lyrics by Charles Wesley, arranged by John Zundel

“Love, divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down. Fix in us Thy humble dwelling; all Thy faithful mercies crown, Jesus, Thou are all compassion, Pure, unbounded love Thou are; Visit us with Thy salvation; enter every trembling heart.

Breathe, o breathe Thy loving spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all Thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore Thy temples leave; Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish then Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee; Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
