BECAUSE HE LIVES
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus, He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon, An empty grave is there to prove My Savior lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone,
Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feels he pride and joy he gives,
But greater still the calm assurance, This child can face uncertain days Because He lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone,
Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living just because He lives.
And then one day I’ll cross that river, I’ll fight life’s final war with pain, And then as death gives way to vict’ry, I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone,
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS/MY CHAINS ARE GONE
Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon His throne,
Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but it’s own.
Awake my soul and sing of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless king through all eternity.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
My God, my Savior, has ransomed me,
And like a flood His mercy reigns. Unending love! Amazing grace!
Crown Him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring and lives that death may die.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
My God, my Savior, has ransomed me, And like a flood His mercy reigns. Unending love! Amazing grace!
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free,
My God, my Savior, has ransomed me, And like a flood His mercy reigns. Unending love! Amazing grace!
Unending love! Amazing grace!
HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US
How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure. How great the pain of searing loss; the Father turned His face away, As wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory.
Behold the Man upon a cross! My sin upon His shoulders.
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there until it was accomplished.
His dying breath has brought me life! I know that it is finished!
I will not boast in anything; no gifts, no power, no wisdom; But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer,
But this I know with all my heart: His wounds have paid my ransom.
But this I know with all my heart: His wounds have paid my ransom.
ANCIENT WORDS
Holy words, long preserved for our walk in this world, They resound with God’s own heart, O, let the ancient words impart.
Words of life, words of hope give us strength, help us cope; In this world where’er we roam, ancient words will guide us home.
Ancient words ever true, changing me, changing you,
We have come with open hearts! O, let the ancient words impart.
Holy words of our faith handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice. O, heed the faithful words of Christ.
Martyr’s blood stains each page. They have died for this faith,
Hear them cry through the years. Heed these words and hold them dear.
Ancient words ever true, changing me, changing you, We have come with open hearts! O, let the ancient words impart.
Ancient words ever true, changing me, changing you,
We have come with open hearts! O, let the ancient words impart.
We have come with open hearts! O, let the ancient words impart.
JESUS, STRONG AND KIND
Jesus said that if I thirst I should come to Him; No one else can satisfy; I should come to Him.
Jesus said if I am weak I should come to Him; No one else can be my strength; I should come to Him.
For the Lord is good and faithful, He will keep us day and night. We can always run to Jesus, Jesus, strong and kind.
Jesus said that if I fear I should come to him, No on else can be my shield; I should come to Him.
For the Lord is good and faithful, He will keep us day and night. We can always run to Jesus, Jesus, strong and kind.
Jesus said if I am lost He will come to me,
And He showed me on that cross; He will come to me.
For the Lord is good and faithful, He will keep us day and night. We can always run to Jesus, Jesus, strong and kind.
For the Lord is good and faithful, He will keep us day and night. We can always run to Jesus, Jesus, strong and kind.
Jesus, strong and kind.
O, FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING
O, for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemers praise, The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace.
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad the honors of Thy Name.
Jesus the Name that charms our fears, that bids our our sorrows cease, ’Tis music in the sinner’s ears. ’Tis life and health and peace.
He breaks the power of cancelled sin; He sets the pris’ner free, His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me.
Glory to God and praise and love be ever, ever giv’n,
By saints below and saints above, the church in earth and heav’n.
HYMN OF HEAVEN
How I long to breathe the air of Heaven, where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets, To look upon the One who bled to save me, And walk with Him for all eternity.
There will be a day when all will bow before Him,
There will be a day when death will be no more, Standing face to face with He who died and rose again. Holy, holy is the Lord!
And every prayer we prayed in desperation,
The songs of faith we sang through doubt and fear,
In the end we’ll see that it was worth it When He returns to wipe away our tears.
There will be a day when all will bow before Him,
There will be a day when death will be no more, Standing face to face with He who died and rose again. Holy, holy is the Lord!
And on that day we join the resurrection And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations Wing worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
And on that day we join the resurrection And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations
Wing worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Forever He shall sign.
So, let it be today we shout the hymn of Heaven With angels and the saints we raise a mighty roar:
Glory to our God who gave us life beyond the grave. Holy, holy is the Lord!
So, let it be today we shout the hymn of Heaven With angels and the saints we raise a mighty roar:
Glory to our God who gave us life beyond the grave. Holy, holy is the Lord!
Holy, holy is the Lord!
Holy, holy is the Lord!
Holy, holy is the Lord!

THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE
This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine!
This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Won’t let Satan blow it out, I’m going to let it shine!
Won’t let Satan blow it out, I’m going to let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m going to let it shine! Hide it under a bushel? No! I’m going to let shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Let it shine ’til Jesus comes. I’m going to let it shine!
Let it shine ’til Jesus comes. I’m going to let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
JOY IN MY HEART
I have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, Down in my heart, down in my heart.
I have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart, Down in my heart to stay.
I have the peace that passeth understanding down in my heart, Down in my heart, down in my heart.
I have the peace that passeth understanding down in my heart, Down in my heart to stay.
I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus, down in my heart, Down in my heart, down in my heart.
I have the love of Jesus, love of Jesus, down in my heart, Down in my heart to stay.
THE SOLID ROCK
My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide his face, I rest on His unchanging grace, In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the vale.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.
When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, I may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.
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.
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 through 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.
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 Christ shall come with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow in humble adoration, and there proclaim,
“My God, how great Thou art!”
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!
ROCK OF AGES
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee,
Let the water and the blood, from Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears forever flow Could my zeal no longer know?
These for sin should not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone; In my hand no price I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death, When I ruse to worlds unknown, and behold Thee on Thy throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross,
Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss,
From vict’ry unto vict’ry, His army shall He lead, Til every foe is vanquished and Christ is Lord, indeed.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, the trumpet call obey,
Forth to the mighty conflict in this His glorious day,
Ye that are men now serve Him against unnumbered foes, Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, stand in His strength alone, The arm of flesh will fail you - ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor, and watching unto prayer, Where duty calls or danger, be never wanting there.
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved, How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures, He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun.
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress A thoroughfare of freedom beat Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot's dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
