Give it all to Jesus


Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows?
Are you tired of spinning round and round?
Wrap up all your shattered dreams of your life
And at the feet of Jesus lay them down.

CHORUS:
Give it all, give it all, give it all to Jesus
Shattered dreams and wounded hearts, broken souls.
Give it all, give it all, give it all to Jesus
Only he will turn your sorrows into joy.

He never said they'll only be sunshine (sunshine)
He never said they'll be no rain (He never said they'll be no rain)
He only promised a heart full of singing
About the very thing that once brought pain.

Chorus...
And he will turn your sorrows, and he will turn your sorrows
Yes, he will turn your sorrows into joy.

JUST OVER THE MOUNTAINS

Just over the mountains in the Promised Land,
Lies the holy city built by God's own hand;
As our weary footsteps gain the mountain's crest,
We can view our homeland of eternal rest.

We are nearing home! We are nearing home!
See the splendor gleaming from the domes afar!
See the glory streaming from the gates ajar!
There we soon will enter, nevermore to roam,
Hear the angels singing! We are nearing home!
We are nearing home!

Cool. We are Nearing Home. I like that one.
I pray that we are.
Thanks for stopping by.

Dare to Be A Daniel

Dedicated to Suzanne Sutton

Words & Music: Phil­ip P. Bliss, 1873 (MI­DI, score). Bliss wrote the song for his Sun­day school class at the First Con­gre­ga­tion­al Church of Chi­ca­go, Il­li­nois.

This hymn and “Hold the Fort” were pro­hib­it­ed by the Sul­tan from use in Tur­key.

Standing by a purpose true,
Heeding God’s command,
Honor them, the faithful few!
All hail to Daniel’s band!

Refrain

Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known.

Many mighty men are lost
Daring not to stand,
Who for God had been a host
By joining Daniel’s band.

Refrain

Many giants, great and tall,
Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel’s band.

Refrain

Hold the Gospel banner high!
On to vict’ry grand!
Satan and his hosts defy,
And shout for Daniel’s band.

Refrain

WERE YOU THERE?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble,
Tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

* Were you there when they nailed Him
to the tree?

* Were you there when they laid Him in
the tomb?

2nd verse of It Is Well With My Soul:

My sin - O the joy 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!

How COOL !

How many times do we just sing or listen and not really HEAR the words. But some are SO powerful.

True. I've been known to sit down and *read* a hymnal just for that reason.

OK, here's the entire plan of salvation in one verse:

Reconciled by His death for my sin,
Justified by His life pure and clean,
Sanctified by obeying His word,
Glorified when returneth my Lord.

Isn't that great?! It's the last verse from "Cover With His Life."

That really is good. Do you happen to have the rest of the verses?
