Yes it is great!

'Oh,precious is the flow,
That makes me white as snow,
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus'.

(R Lowry)

 

[Nikos7]

There is a Fountain

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.


The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.
Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away.


Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.


E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.


Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.
Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave.


Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be,
For me a blood bought free reward, a golden harp for me!
’Tis strung and tuned for endless years, and formed by power divine,
To sound in God the Father’s ears no other name but Thine.

LORD THE LIGHT OF YOUR LOVE is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining;
Jesus,Light of the world,shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth You now bring us,
Shine on me,shine on me.

Shine Jesus shine,
Fill this land with the Father's glory;
Blaze, Spirit, blaze,
Set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
Flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word,
Lord and let there be light.

Lord, I come to Your awesome presence,
From the shadows into Your radiance;
By the blood I may enter Your brightness,
Search me,try me,consume all my darkness,
Shine on me,shine on me.

As we gaze on Your kingly brightness,
So our faces display Your likeness,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story,
Shine on me,shine on me'.

I Surrender All. I`ve been humming that song all morning.Surrender is a trigger word for me.Everytime I hear it said in church,I want to raise my arm in praise.I just thank the dear Lord that He waited for so many years for me to surrender my life to Him.He didn`t give up on me,just waited.Praise God.

A NAME I HIGHLY TREASURE

1
I've learned to know a name I highly treasure,
Oh how it thrills my spirit through and through,
That precious name, beyond degree or measure,
My heart is stirred when e'er I think of you.
CHORUS
My heart is stirred when e'er I think of Jesus
That blessed name which sets the captive free,
The only name through which I find salvation
No name on earth, has meant so much to me.
2
That name brings gladness to a soul in sorrow
It makes life's shadows and its clouds depart
Brings strength in weakness for today, tomorrow
That name brings healing to an aching heart.
3
That name still lives and will live on forever.
While kings and kingdoms will forgotten be,
Through mist or rain twill be beclouded never,
That name will shine and shine eternally!

 

[CrabWalk]

My very favorite of all times is "In the Garden" it has such a pretty tune but the words make me cry when I hear them. I am privledged to be able to walk with my savior! The cool thing is He doesn't mind that I don't walk very well either, just that I am willing to walk WITH Him.

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.

What beautiful hymns these are! They are more than lovely tunes or music. They mean so much to us,because the words,relate to God's Word and the experiences they communicate are ours. I thank God for these inspiring hymns.

 

[Nikos7]

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.

Refrain
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross.

Refrain

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
Brighter than snow you may be today.

Refrain

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?

 

[quietbloke]

'There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.

There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more keenly felt than heaven;
There is no place where earth's failings
Have such kindly judgement given.

There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.

If our love were but more simple,
We would take Him at His word
And our lives would be all sunshine,
In the sweetness of the Lord'.

(Francis William Faber)

 

[Nikos7]

Throw out the life line across the dark wave;
There is a brother whom someone should save;
Somebody’s brother! O who then will dare
To throw out the life line, his peril to share?

Refrain
Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!
Someone is drifting away;
Throw out the life line! Throw out the life line!
Someone is sinking today.


Throw out the life line with hand quick and strong:
Why do you tarry, why linger so long?
See! he is sinking; oh, hasten today
And out with the life boat! away, then away!

Refrain

Throw out the life line to danger fraught men,
Sinking in anguish where you’ve never been;
Winds of temptation and billows of woe
Will soon hurl them out where the dark waters flow.

Refrain

Soon will the season of rescue be o’er,
Soon will they drift to eternity’s shore;
Haste, then, my brother, no time for delay,
But throw out the life line and save them today.

Refrain

This is the life line, oh, tempest tossed men;
Baffled by waves of temptation and sin;
Wild winds of passion, your strength cannot brave,
But Jesus is mighty, and Jesus can save.

Refrain

Jesus is able! To you who are driv’n,
Farther and farther from God and from Heav’n;
Helpless and hopeless, o’erwhelmed by the wave;
We throw out the life line, ’tis “Jesus can save.”

Refrain

This is the life line, oh, grasp it today!
See, you are recklessly drifting away;
Voices in warning, shout over the wave,
O grasp the strong life line, for Jesus can save.

[FaithfulRemnant]

Shall We Gather At The River is my favorite, but there are others.
Check out the history of the song here. Sounds like this Baptist preacher was mighty close to Pentecost when he wrote Shall We Gather........http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/s/w/swgatriv.htm

 

[Nikos7]

Break Thou the Bread of Life,
Dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the bread
Beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page
I seek Thee, Lord,
My spirit longs for Thee,
Thou Living Word.

Thou art the Bread of Life,
O Lord, to me,
Thy holy Word the truth
That saveth me;
Give me to eat and live
With Thee above,
Teach me to love Thy truth,
For Thou art love.

O send Thy Spirit, Lord,
Now unto me,
That He may touch my eyes
And make me see;
Show me the truth concealed
Within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed,
I see Thee, O Lord.

Bless Thou the Bread of Life
To me, to me,
As Thou didst bless the loaves
By Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease,
All fetters fall,
And I shall find my peace,
My all in all.

 

[quietbloke]

'An army of ordinary people,
A kingdom where love is the key;
A city,a light to the nations,
Heirs to the promise are we.
A people whose life is in Jesus,
A nation together we stand,
Only through grace are we worthy,
Inheritors of the land.

A new day is dawning,
A new age to come,
When the children of promise,
Shall flow together as one.
A truth long neglected,
But the time has now come,
When the children of promise
Shall flow together as one.

A people without recognition,
But with Him a destiny sealed,
Called to a heavenly vision,
His purpose will be fulfilled.
Come let us stand strong together,
Abandon ourselves to the King,
His love will be ours forever,
This victory song we willsing'.

[Nikos7]

There is a Name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest Name on earth.

Refrain
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
O how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!

It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.

The sweetest Name on earth.

Refrain
O how I love Jesus,

Because He first loved me!

It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.

I love that song!

 

[Nikos7]

There’s a blessèd time that’s coming, coming soon (coming soon),
It may be evening, morning or at noon (or at noon),
The wedding of the bride, united with the Groom,
We shall see the King when He comes.

Refrain
We shall see the King, We shall see the King,
We shall see the King when He comes;
He is coming in pow’r, we’ll hail the blessèd hour,
We shall see the King when he comes.

Are you ready should the Savior call today? (call today)
Would Jesus say, “Well done” or “Go away”? (Go away)
My home is for the pure, the vile can never stay,
We shall see the King when He comes.

 

[quietbloke]

'Tis almost time for the Lord to come,
I hear the people say;
The stars of heav'n are growing dim,
It must be the breaking of day.

O it must be the breaking of day,
O it must be the breaking of day.
The night is almost gone,the day is coming on;
O it must be the breaking of day.

The signs foretold in the sun and moon,
In earth and sea and sky,
Aloud proclaim to all mankind,
The coming of the Master draweth nigh.

It must be time for the waking church,
To cast her pride away,
With girded loins and burning lamps,
To look for the breaking of day.

Go quickly out in the streets and lanes
And in the broad highway
And call the maim'd,the halt and blind,
To be ready for the breaking of day'.
