October '07 Hymn

The Lord’s My Shepherd

The Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still, still waters
His goodness restores my soul

Refrain

And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home

He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup, it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights

Refrain

And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the Evil One
For You are with me and Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know

Refrain

September '07 Hymn

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Refrain

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When thro’ the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze

Refrain

And when I think that God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin

Refrain

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me him, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God how great thou art!

Refrain
 

August '07 Hymn

I'd Rather Have Jesus

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands
I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hand

Refrain:

Than to be a king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than world-wide fame
I'd rather be true to His holy name

Refrain

He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
He's sweeter than honey from out of the comb
He's all that my hungering spirit needs
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead

 

July '07 Hymn

Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole

Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole
I want thee forever to ransom my soul
Break down every idol, cast out every foe
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow

Refrain:

Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow

Lord Jesus, for this I most humbly entreat
I wait, blessed Lord, at thy crucified feet
By faith, for my cleansing I see thy blood flow
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow

Refrain

Lord Jesus, thou knowest I patiently wait
Come now, and within me a new heart create
To those who have sought thee, thou never saidst No
Now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow

Refrain
 

June '07 Hymn

Search Me O God

Search me, O God and know my heart today
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts I pray
See if there be some wicked way in me
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free

I praise thee, Lord, for cleansing me from sin
Fulfill thy Word and make me pure within
Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame
Grant my desire to magnify thy name

Lord, take my life and make it wholly thine
Fill my poor heart with thy great love divine
Take all my will, my passion, self, and pride
I now surrender - Lord in me abide

 

May '07 Hymn

Fairest Lord Jesus

Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O You of God and man the Son;
You will I cherish, you will I honor,
You, my soul's glory, joy and crown.

Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling, starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav'n can boast

Beautiful savior,
Lord of all nations,
Son of God and Son of man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be yours!

April '07 Hymn

Jesus Loves Me

Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.

Chorus

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven's gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.

Chorus

Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
If I love Him when I die
He will take me home on high

Chorus
