Amazing grace

Consider the lilies. The old rugged cross

The Old Rugged Cross: On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suffering and shame; And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above To bear it to dark Calvary. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see, For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, Where His glory forever I'll share. So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown.

*Ahem* There once was a man from Enus... nah, you don't want to hear that one. ;)

"Blessed Assurance" Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of his Spirit, washed in his blood. [Refrain:] This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]

My Savior Lives Worthy is the Lamb and my favorite... Holy, Holy Holy

It Is Well with My Soul Text: Horatio G. Spafford Music: Philip P. Bliss Tune: VILLE DU HAVRE, Meter: 11 8.11 9 with Refrain When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. Refrain: It is well with my soul, it is well, it is well with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, Though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed his own blood for my soul. (Refrain) My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! (Refrain) And, Lord, haste the day When my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, And the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul.

All my life, neverknowing what a was searching for, never could I find any reason for, always feeling somehow there must be more.... Then there came a light, searching out my heart in the blackest night, filling me with love that I knew was right, Lord of all filling all my life...all my life.. Lookin' back, Jesus thru my life you were everywhere, picking up the pieces I'd scattered there..filling me with love til my heart repaired. You gave me life, you made my spirit new, now I give all my life to you.

This song helped me get through a most discouraging time in my life. I hope it helps to encourage you. Mark Schultz He Will Carry Me I call, You hear me I’ve lost it all And it’s more than I can bear I feel so empty You’re strong I’m weary I’m holdin’ on But I feel like givin’ in But still You’re with me chorus: And even though I’m walkin’ through The valley of the shadow I will hold tight to the hand of Him Whose love will comfort me And when all hope is gone And I’ve been wounded in the battle He is all the strength that I will Ever need And He will carry me I know I’m broken But You alone Can mend this heart of mine You’re always with me chorus And even though I feel so lonely Like I’ve never been before You never said it would be easy But You said you’d see me through The storm chorus

Not a hymn but Kris Kristofferson wrote a song called "help me" that is one of my inspirations!

Styx - Show Me the Way Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven And every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay And I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my faith Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the river And wash my illusions away Show me the way And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred I close my eyes and know there's peace, in a world so filled with hatred That I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to go And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the mountain And take my confusion away And if I see a light, should I believe Tell me how will I know Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the river And wash my illusions away Show me the way, show me the way Give me the strength and the courage To believe that I'll get there someday Show me the way Every night I say a prayer In the hope that there's a heaven...

1. And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me who caused His pain! For me who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me? Chorus: Amazing love! How can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me! Amazing love! How can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me! 2. He left His Father's throne above, So free, so infinite His grace! Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O my God, it found out me! 3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. 4. No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own Charles Wesley <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< 1. Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish, Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel. Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrows that heav'n cannot heal. 2. Joy of the comfortless, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying, "Earth has no sorrows that heav'n cannot cure." 3. Here see the Bread of Life, see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above. Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrows but heav'n can remove. Thomas Moore <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< <>< 1. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free! Rolling as a mighty ocean In its fullness over me! Underneath me, all around me, Is the current of Thy love Leading onward, leading homeward To Thy glorious rest above! 2. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Spread His praise from shore to shore! How He loveth, ever loveth, Changeth never, nevermore! How He watches o’er His loved ones, Died to call them all His own; How for them He intercedeth, Watcheth o’er them from the throne! 3. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, Love of every love the best! ’Tis an ocean vast of blessing, ’Tis a haven sweet of rest! O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ’Tis a heaven of heavens to me; And it lifts me up to glory, For it lifts me up to Thee! Samuel Trevor Francis

okay! i got it figured out. here's a live version of the DM's good rats & amazing grace. i'll forewarn you that in between the two songs, they drop the f-bomb. anyhow, i like it.

&#039;TIL THE STORM PASSES BY by Mosie Lister (Both words and music) Verse 1 In the dark of the midnight Have I oft hid my face, While the storm howls above me, And there's no hiding place. 'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord hear my cry, "Keep me safe 'til the storm passes by". Chorus: 'Til the storm passes over, 'Til the thunder sounds no more, 'Til the clouds roll forever from the sky, Hold me fast, let me stand In the hollow of Thy hand: Keep me safe 'til the sorm passes by. Verse 2 Many times Satan whispered, "There is no need to try, For there's no end of sorrow; There's no hope by and by." But I know Thou art with me, And tomorrow I'll rise Where the storm never darkens the skies. Chorus Verse 3 When the long night has ended, And the storms come no more, Let me stand in Thy presence On that bright peaceful shore. In that land where the tempest Never comes, Lord may I Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by. Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ His Eye Is On the Sparrow Words by Civilla D. Martin, 1905 Music by Charles H. Gabriel, 1905 Lyrics Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. Chorus: I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free, For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. "Let not your heart be troubled," His tender word I hear, And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. Chorus Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. Chorus

Artist: al green Album: greatest hits Title: belle Belle... The Lord and I have been friends for a mighty long time Belle... Leaving him has never ever really crossed my mind Let me say just one thing... I'd never go so far cause it's Him no matter who you are Belle... oh it's you that I want, but it's Him that I need (I'd like to take a minute) just to say now... Belle... Belle... the laughter of the sound has quieted down Belle... The best thing we could do is have Him around Let me say this one thing... I think if love could've found my heart was lost but now it's found Belle... Let's you and I let the love come down I'm so happy... let me say this... It seems so easy to me I've tried to act naturally Let's not waste each other's time Belle... Lord, He's my surprisin', my pride and my joy, Belle... I know that you can understand This little country boy (I'm just a country boy) Belle... He brought me safe thus far... (Let me say this to you lady...) through many drunken country bars Oh, let me say, He's my bright morning star Belle.. He's my bright morning... My everything... Belle... Belle... Belle... I know you're all of these things girl ya, but He's such a brighter joy... He's! He's! He's! Jesus is my! My everything! My everything! In the morning (time) In the evening (time) In the daytime In the nighttime... He's my everything, yeah! Belle... Belle..

He Leadeth Me He leadeth me, O blessed thought. O words with heavenly comfort fraught. Whatever I do, wherever I be, still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. Chorus He leadeth me, He leadeth me. By His own hand He leadeth me. His faithful follower I would be, for by His hand He 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. Chorus 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. Chorus And when my task on earth is done, when, by The grace, the victory's won. Even death's cold wave I will not flee, since God through Jordan leadeth me. Chorus <>< The third verse never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Since we are human beings as well as Christians, we tend to complain when things aren't going our way or our prayers aren't getting answered in the way we want or as quickly as we want. I'm trying not to cry right now because I have to constantly remind myself that God Himself is leading me through this life and He is taking me where He wants me to go. It's like the southern gospel song "Ahead" says: Though so often this road gets rough and rocky, still I know what lies ahead.

Where Else Could I Go and Oh, They Tell Me Of A Home and I Know Whom I Have Believed...a few of my favorites..
