Take All To Jesus

Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
Oh, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!


And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!


Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!


Oh, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!



And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
~ Chris Rice


This is one of those songs that always speaks to my heart. I am a sinner who wonders around in this world of sin, sometimes is an lost and aimless fashion. I am one in need of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. I seek Him, I run to Him, I dance with Him. Maybe you needed these worlds today like I did. If so, this is for you.

Looking Up

Looking Unto God

I look to Thee in every need,

And never look in vain;

I feel Thy strong and tender love,

And all is well again:

The thought of Thee is mightier far

Than sin and pain and sorrow are.

~*~

Discouraged in the work of life,

Disheartened by its load,

Shamed by its failures or its fears,

I sink beside the road;

But let me only think of Thee,

And then new heart springs up in me.

~*~

Thy calmness bends serene above

My restlessness to still;

Around me flows Thy quickening life,

To nerve my faltering will;

Thy presence fills my solitude;

Thy providence turns all to good.

~*~

Enboosomed deep in Thy dear love,

Held in Thy Law, I stand;

Thy hand in all things I behold,

And all things in Thy hand;

Thou leadest me by unsought ways,

And turn'st my morning into praise.

~ Samuel Longfellow

If A Bird Can Cling...



If A Bird Can Cling

If a bird can cling
To a spray aswing
In a mad May wind,
And sing and sing
As if he'd burst for joy;

Why cannot I,
Contented lie
In His strong arms
Beneath His sky
Unmoved by earth's annoy?

BEYOND THE BLUES

Sometimes this world gets me down
With all its struggles
But soon I’m gonna say
Goodbye to trouble
When the trumpet sounds
Oh, my spirit will fly
~~~
Oh, and like an eagle I’ll soar
On wings of morning
‘Till I get to the place
I’m going to
Where there’ll be streets of gold
Jasper walls
A crystal sea awaiting me
Way beyond the blues
~~~
Into Heaven’s sweet fold
I’ll go a walking
Like I’ve never once had a care
With all the riches untold
Come on, we’re talking
I’ll be a million times a millionaire
Million times a millionaire
Oh, what a rich man am I
Blessed beyond measure
With my family down here
And Heaven too
Well there’ll be streets of gold
Jasper walls
A crystal sea awaiting me
Way beyond the blues
Words and Music by Jeff Silvey and Joel Lindsey


This song has a way of making your "bad" days good.
I love to sing it along with Signature Sound whenever
someone plays it. May God wipe away your blues.
