Sometimes It Takes A Storm

23/4/2020

Sometimes it takes a Storm

When your waters are so troubled,
You don't think you count at all.
Waves may seem like mountains,
When your boat is oh so small.
But somewhere past the clouds,
Waits a new day to begin.
Sometimes it takes a storm,
To calm your storm within.


Sometimes it takes a storm,

To know you need a shelter.
When the anchors in your life,
Disappear without a trace.
Sometimes the wind will rage,
Before you sail calm waters.
Sometimes it takes a storm,
To find a hiding place.


They were drifting in the darkness,

The sea was all around.
They cried out to the master,
Please save us or we'll drown.
Jesus heard the cries,
And mercy stilled the wind.
Sometimes it takes a storm,
To see the sun again.

Sometimes the wind will rage,
Before you sail calm waters
Lord thank you for the storms,
For I've found my hiding place.
Oh thank you for the storms,
Lord you are my hiding place.

Who You Say I Am

Who You Say I Am

Who am I that the highest King

Would welcome me?
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Oh His love for me


Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am


Free at last, He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me


Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am


I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am


I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am
I am who You say I am


Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am
In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am


In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am


I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am


I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am


I am chosen
Not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me
Not against me
I am who You say I am
Oh, I am who You say I am
Yes, I am who You say I am


Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I'm a child of God
Yes I am


In my Father's house
There's a place for me
I'm a child of God
Yes I am

Sweet Hour Of Prayer

21/4/2020

Sweet hour of prayer

Sweet hour of prayer

Sweet hour of prayer
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer

Sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
The joys I feel, the bliss I share
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for Thy return
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face
And gladly take my station there
And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer

Sweet hour of prayer
Sweet hour of prayer
And wait for Thee
Sweet hour of prayer

I Know Who Holds The Future

I Know WhoHolds Tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to gray
I don't worry o'er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside Him
For He knows what is ahead

Chorus
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand

​Ev'ry step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb
Ev'ry burden's getting lighter
Ev'ry cloud is silver-lined
There the sun is always shining
There no tear will dim the eye
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky

I don't know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty
But the One who feeds the sparrow
Is the One who stands by me
And the path that is my portion
May be through the flame or flood
But His presence goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood
Ira F. Stanphill

His Mercy Is More (Our Sins They Are Many)

21/4/2020

Mis Mercy Is More - Our Sins They Are Many

What love could remember no wrongs we have done

Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father, so tender, is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
So much more

What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
So much more!

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Cornerstone

Cornerstone
Hillsong Worship
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust is Jesus' name

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust is Jesus' name

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Saviour's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all
He is Lord
Lord of all, Christ alone


When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless, stand before the throne]

Cornerstone
Oh, yeah, in the Saviour's love
He is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior's love
Through the storm
He is Lord
Lord of all
