Here I am Lord

...

I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.

I who made the stars of night
I will make the darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them
Whom shall I send?

Chorus: Here I am Lord
Is it I Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go Lord
If you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart.

I the Lord of snow and rain
I have borne my people's pain
I have wept for love of them
They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone
Fill their hearts with love alone
I will speak my word to them
Whom shall I send?

Come Ye Sinners. Listen online...

...

• Come ye sinners, poor and needy,
  Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
  Jesus ready stands to save you,
  Full of pity, love, and pow'r.
  
  
• I will arise and go to Jesus,
  He will embrace me in His arms;
  In the arms of my dear Savior,
  O there are ten thousand charms.
  
  
• Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome,
  God's free bounty glorify;
  True belief and true repentance,
  Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh.
  
  
• Come ye weary, heavy laden,
  Lost and ruined by the fall;
  If you tarry till you're better,
  You will never come at all.
  
  
• Let not conscience make you linger,
  Nor of fitness fondly dream;
  All the fitness He requireth
  Is to feel your need of Him.
  
  
• I will arise and go to Jesus
  He will embrace me in His arms
  In the arms of my dear Savior
  Oh, there are ten thousand charms
  
  
• Feel Him Prostate in the garden
  On the ground your Maker lies
  On the bloody tree, behold him
  Sinner, will this not suffice?
  
  
• Lo, the incarnate God ascended
  Pleads the merit of his blood
  Venture on him, venture wholly
  Let no other trust intrude
  
  
• I will arise and go to Jesus
  He will embrace me in His arms
  In the arms of my dear Savior
  Oh, there are ten thousand charms

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted. Listen online...

...

 

• Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
  See Him dying on the tree!
  'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
  Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He!
  'Tis the long-expected Prophet,
  David's Son, yet David's Lord;
  Proofs I see sufficient of it:
  'Tis the true and faithful Word.
  
  

• Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
  Was there ever grief like His?
  Friends through fear His cause disowning,
  Foes insulting His distress;
  Many hands were raised to wound Him,
  None would interpose to save;
  But the deepest stroke that pierced Him
  Was the stroke that Justice gave.
  
  

• Ye who think of sin but lightly
  Nor suppose the evil great
  Here may view its nature rightly,
  Here its guilt may estimate.
  Mark the sacrifice appointed,
  See who bears the awful load;
  'Tis the Word, the Lord's anointed,
  Son of Man and Son of God.
  
  

• Here we have a firm foundation;
  Here the refuge of the lost;
  Christ, the Rock of our salvation,
  His the name of which we boast.
  Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,
  Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
  None shall ever be confounded
  Who on Him their hope have built.
  
  

Come, thou long expected Jesus. Listen online...

• Come, thou long expected Jesus,
  born to set thy people free;
  from our fears and sins release us,
  let us find our rest in thee.
  

• Israel's strength and consolation,
  hope of all the earth thou art;
  dear desire of every nation,
  joy of every longing heart.
  

• Born thy people to deliver,
  born a child and yet a King,
  born to reign in us forever,
  now thy gracious kingdom bring.
  

• By thine own eternal spirit
  rule in all our hearts alone;
  by thine all sufficient merit,
  raise us to thy glorious throne.
  

- Charles Wesley, United Methodist Hymnal, 1744

Create in Me a Clean Heart. Listen online...

...

• Create in me a clean heart, O God
  A clean heart O God, create in me.

• O God, in your goodness
  Have mercy on me.
  In your compassion
  Wipe out my offense.
  Thoroughly wash me from my guilt,
  And cleanse me from my sins.

• For I acknowledge my offense
  And my sin is always before me;
  Against only you have I sinned,
  And done what is evil in your eyes.

• A clean heart create for me, O God,
  A steadfast spirit renew in me.
  Cast me not out
  From your presence, O God.
  Take not your Holy Spirit from me.

• Give us back the joy of our salvation,
  And renew in us a willing spirit.
  O God, open my lips,
  Lord, open my lips.
  And we will sing your praise. 

Jesus, Savior, pilot me. Listen online...

...

• Jesus, Savior, pilot me
  Over life’s tempestuous sea;
  Unknown waves before me roll,
  Hiding rock and treacherous shoal.
  Chart and compass come from Thee;
  Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
  

• While th’Apostles’ fragile bark
  Struggled with the billows dark,
  On the stormy Galilee,
  Thou didst walk upon the sea;
  And when they beheld Thy form,
  Safe they glided through the storm.
  

• Though the sea be smooth and bright,
  Sparkling with the stars of night,
  And my ship’s path be ablaze
  With the light of halcyon days,
  Still I know my need of Thee;
  Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
  

• When the darkling heavens frown,
  And the wrathful winds come down,
  And the fierce waves, tossed on high,
  Lash themselves against the sky,
  Jesus, Savior, pilot me,
  Over life’s tempestuous sea.
  

• As a mother stills her child,
  Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
  Boisterous waves obey Thy will,
  When Thou sayest to them, “Be still!”
  Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
  Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
  

• When at last I near the shore,
  And the fearful breakers roar
  ’Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
  Then, while leaning on Thy breast,
  May I hear Thee say to me,
  “Fear not, I will pilot thee.”
  

He Chose Me. Listen online...

...

• He chose me
  Before the world was known
  He chose me
  To be His very own, He made me
  Then let me choose my way
  I chose to move away
  He loved me
  When hope had taken wing
  He loved me
  When I lost ev'rything
  He brought me
  Redemption's work was done
  Through Jesus Christ His Son

• Who shall separate me
  From the love of God
  Shall dreams of tomorrow
  Pain or sorrow
  Can the need of food
  Of earthly possessions
  The threat of war or man's oppression
  In all these things
  Vict'ry is our reward
  Vict'ry is our reward
  Through Jesus Christ our Lord

• Of this I am sure
  That neither death nor life
  Nor angels, nor principalities
  Nor powers
  Nor things present, nor things to come
  Nor height nor depth nor any creature
  Shall separate me
  From the love of God
  Through Jesus Christ our Lord
  

I stand amazed. Listen online...

...

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

• How marvelous! How wonderful!
  And my song shall ever be:
  How marvelous! How wonderful
  is my Savior's love for me!

• 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 of 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.

  Metuselah was a witness for my Lord

• You read in the Bible and you understand
  Samson was the strongest man
  Samson went out at-a one time
  And he killed about a thousand of the Philistine
  Delilah fooled Samson, this-a we know
  For the Holy Bible tells us so
  She saved off his head just as clean as your hand
  And his strength became the same as any natural man
  

• O, Samson was a witness for my Lord
  Samson was a witness for my Lord
  Samson was a witness for my Lord
  Samson was a witness for my Lord
  

• Daniel was a Hebrew child
  He went to pray his God a-while
  The king at once for Daniel did send
  And he put him right down in the lion's den

• Now, Daniel was a witness for my Lord
  Daniel was a witness for my Lord
  Daniel was a witness for my Lord
  Daniel was a witness for my Lord
  

• O, who'll be a witness for my Lord
  Who'll be a witness for my Lord

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. Listen online...

...

• O sacred Head, now wounded,
  With grief and shame weighed down,
  Now scornfully surrounded
  With thorns, Thine only crown;
  O sacred Head, what glory,
  What bliss, till now was Thine!
  Yet, though despised and gory,
  I joy to call Thee mine.

• Men mock and taunt and jeer Thee,
  Thou noble countenance,
  Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee
  And flee before Thy glance.
  How art thou pale with anguish,
  With sore abuse and scorn!
  How doth Thy visage languish
  That once was bright as morn!

• My burden in Thy Passion,
  What [Lord], Thou hast borne for me,
  For it was my transgression
  Which brought this woe on Thee.
  I cast me down before Thee,
  Wrath were my rightful lot;
  Have mercy, I implore Thee;
  Redeemer, spurn me not!

• What language shall I borrow
  To thank Thee, dearest friend,
  For this Thy dying sorrow,
  Thy pity without end?
  O make me Thine forever,
  And should I fainting be,
  Lord, let me never, never
  Outlive my love for Thee.

• What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,
  Was all for sinners’ gain;
  Mine, mine was the transgression,
  But Thine the deadly pain.
  Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
  ’Tis I deserve Thy place;
  Look on me with Thy favor,
  Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

• Now from Thy cheeks has vanished
  Their color once so fair;
  From Thy red lips is banished
  The splendor that was there.
  Grim death, with cruel rigor,
  Hath robbed Thee of Thy life;
  Thus Thou hast lost Thy vigor,
  Thy strength in this sad strife.

• My Shepherd, now receive me;
  My Guardian, own me Thine.
  Great blessings Thou didst give me,
  O source of gifts divine.
  Thy lips have often fed me
  With words of truth and love;
  Thy Spirit oft hath led me
  To heavenly joys above.

• Here I will stand beside Thee,
  From Thee I will not part;
  O Savior, do not chide me!
  When breaks Thy loving heart,
  When soul and body languish
  In death’s cold, cruel grasp,
  Then, in Thy deepest anguish,
  Thee in mine arms I’ll clasp.

• The joy can never be spoken,
  Above all joys beside,
  When in Thy body broken
  I thus with safety hide.
  O Lord of Life, desiring
  Thy glory now to see,
  1Beside Thy cross expiring,
  I’d breathe my soul to Thee.

• My Savior, be Thou near me
  When death is at my door;
  Then let Thy presence cheer me,
  Forsake me nevermore!
  When soul and body languish,
  Oh, leave me not alone,
  But take away mine anguish
  By virtue of Thine own!

• Be Thou my consolation,
  My shield when I must die;
  Remind me of Thy passion
  When my last hour draws nigh.
  Mine eyes shall then behold Thee,
  Upon Thy cross shall dwell,
  My heart by faith enfolds Thee.
  Who dieth thus dies well.

• Break Thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me, As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea; Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord; My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word!

Matt 14:13-21 “When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. 15And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18He said, Bring them hither to me. 19And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.”

And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. 35And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. 36And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 37And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. 38And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.”

Luke 24:15-17,25,30 “And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.”

He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.”

And ye are witnesses of these things.”

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. Listen online...

 

...

 

• When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died; my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride.

Php 2:5-8 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

Php 3:3-8 “... touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,”

Heb 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

• Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.

Jer 9:23-24 “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.”

Gal 6:14 “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”

Ecc 1:2,14 “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. 14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.”

Matt 16:26 “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

Luke 9:23-25 “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?”

Matt 10:37-39 “He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.”

• See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown.

Isa 53:1-12 “Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore , and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Php 2:5-11 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

• Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Rom 8:32 “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”

John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Rom 8:35-40 “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Rom 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

Luke 17:10 “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.”

• Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, And His righteousness, And all these things shall be added unto you, Hallelu, Hallelujah!

Matt 6:25-33 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

• Man shall not live by bread alone, But by every word That proceeds from the mouth of God, Hallelu, Hallelujah!

Deu 8:3 “And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.”

Matt 4:1-4 “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

John 6:31-35,48-51 “Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. 32Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. 35And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 48I am that bread of life. 49Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

• Ask and it shall be given unto you, Seek and ye shall find, Knock and the door shall be opened unto you, Hallelu, Hallelujah!

Luke 11:9-13 “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit [indwelling Holy Spirit given through Salvation] to them that ask him?”

1 John 5:14 “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:”

Rom 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”

Deu 4:29 “But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.”

Deu 30:6 “And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.”

• If the Son shall set you free, Ye shall be free indeed, Ye shall know the truth, and it shall set you free, Hallelu, Hallelujah!

John 6:63,68 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.”

John 1:1,14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

John 8:31-36 “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

• Let your light so shine before men that they may see, Your good works and glorify Your Father in heaven, Hallelu, Hallelujah!

John 1:4-9 “In him [Lord Jesus] was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8He [John] was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.”

John 8:12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

1 John 2:8-11 “Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”

1 John 1:5-7 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

1 Pet 2:9-11 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;”

Php 2:15-16 “That ye may be blameless and harmless

, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.”
Matt 5:14-16 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

• Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, He shall direct thy paths, In all thy ways acknowledge Him, Hallelu, Hallelujah!

Jer 17:5 “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.”

Pro 3:5-8 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.”

Psa 28:7 “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.”

• When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Matt 8:23-26 “And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.”

Matt 6:30-33 “Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Psa 103:2-5 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.”

• Count your blessings, name them one by one, Count your blessings, see what God hath done! Count your blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Eph 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

• You are chosen

Eph 1:4 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:”

• You are adopted as a son of God

Eph 1:5-6 “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”

• You are redeemed and forgiven of your sins

Eph 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”

• You are made know the mystery of His Will

Eph 1:8-9 “Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:”

• You are joined to the body of Christ

Eph 1:10 “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”

• You obtained an eternal inheritance according to His Grace and His Will.

Eph 1:11-12 “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.”

• You are given and sealed with Holy Spirit as the down payment for your inheritance

Eph 1:13-14 “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.”

• Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear? Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly, And you will keep singing as the days go by.

Matt 11:28-30 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Luke 14:27 “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”

Rom 8:31-39 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. 34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

• When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold; Count your many blessings—wealth can never buy Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Psa 73:3,5-7,13-14,17-18,24 “3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 5They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. 6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 7Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 14For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.”

Eph 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

John 10:9-10 “I [Jesus Christ is our only door and only way into heaven] am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it [Eternal Life in Heaven] more abundantly.”

Gen 15:1 “After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.”

Rev 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

1 Cor 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

• So, amid the conflict whether great or small, Do not be discouraged, God is over all; Count your many blessings, angels will attend, Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Phil 4:6-7 “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Heb 1:13-14 “But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”

1 Pet 1:3-7 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:”

Rom 8:16-17 “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”

Rom 15:4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.”

Tit 3:7 “That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”
