Let me Bear my Cross
There is no place for me, no place for me
I'm just I'm just a pilgrim in a strange land
but I have a home in heaven so no fear of man,
I have a home in heaven I need not one here,
I have faith in His promises;
His grace is clear!
Let there be no place for me; there's idols all around here
let there be
no place for me
till the Lord gives me a crown
let me bear my cross always
let me look to better days
let me take His promises
let me take His Word by faith;
There is none like Jesus,
there's a hope I find,
there is none like Jesus who for all this time
has loved His errant children
though I don't deserve
His tender mercies
He loves me still, and He have His Word
I have faith in His promises;
His grace is clear!
Let there be no place for me; there's idols all around here
let there be
no place for me
till the Lord gives me a crown
let me bear my cross always
let me look to better days
let me take His promises
let me take His Word by faith;
let me dare to be a Daniel
who claims His grace!
let me dare to be a David,
slaying giants by faith!
let me dare to be like Jesus
by whom I'm saved!
Yea though I may be full of sin
He can take my heart and make me whole with Him!
I have faith in His promises;
His grace is clear!
Let there be no place for me; there's idols all around here
let there be
no place for me
till the Lord gives me a crown
let me bear my cross always
let me look to better days
let me take His promises
let me take His Word by faith;

Saved by Grace
There is a multitude now singing, with great joy upon their hearts
the love of Jesus is still ringing,
faith and love He doth impart, There is no hope outside of Jesus, none to hold me firm and true,
there is no glory save His glory and the love He has is true and pure.
Give me nothing but my Saviour and I still have all I've ever needed, more than enough to get me through.
Salvation is by grace you know I'm justified by faith, love is the motivation behind my Saviou's ways.
Hope is in no other so I'll hope in Him today
because of the saving grace of Jesus
leaves me justified by faith.
Though giants seem to stock about me,
fear doth not cross my mind,
the free gift of my salvation
I'll proclaim while there's still time.
I have known the peace and joy of Jesus
this I live just to share, so that others may through faith in Jesus
lose the burden of life's carres
my simple song is sung as giants to earth do fall into a pile of dust
Salvation is by grace you know I'm justified by faith, love is the motivation behind my Saviou's ways.
Hope is in no other so I'll hope in Him today
because of the saving grace of Jesus
leaves me justified by faith.
all the world can love or hate me
whatever they desire
all I care for is Christ Jesus
oh to know His tender smile
I trust in His grace through faith
I've given all, and my past I do forsake
daily I am dead to sin
for Christ is my hope and stay
Salvation is by grace you know I'm justified by faith, love is the motivation behind my Saviou's ways.
Hope is in no other so I'll hope in Him today
because of the saving grace of Jesus
leaves me justified by faith.

yet there's peace in my heart
There is nothing good in me, this is ever plain to see, even when I try to do what's right
still I end up in places that I shouldn't, doing all the things I know I ought not do
no matter how hard I try my Lord, I always fail you...
Yet there's peace in my heart
for I'm so very loved
my Shepherd knows His sheep by name
He knows the hairs on my head
He knows my struggle within
He knows just how badly I abhor all this sin
He knows the love that He has for me
and I'm written on His nail scarred hands
I'm lost and afraid, weak, broken and in need of change
let all my fears subside for I know that my Saviour is inside
still it's hard to see, the love that He has for me...
Yet there's peace in my heart
for I'm so very loved
my Shepherd knows His sheep by name
He knows the hairs on my head
He knows my struggle within
He knows just how badly I abhor all this sin
He knows the love that He has for me
and I'm written on His nail scarred hands
so even when my heart is searching for some little token
still I know that You're Word is greater than my heart
I know that You won't abandon me...
Yet there's peace in my heart
for I'm so very loved
my Shepherd knows His sheep by name
He knows the hairs on my head
He knows my struggle within
He knows just how badly I abhor all this sin
He knows the love that He has for me
and I'm written on His nail scarred hands

The Man in the Mirror
I once was a sinner in world I called home, pleasure but no solemn joy
then one day I found love and I let Him in
now I've given up my life of sin
and the people from the past come and say
come on come on I know who you've been
don't you want just a little taste of sin
come on come on just look in the mirror
can't you still see
that man you used to be
and I'll say
no I can't search for the living among the dead
that man I once was has been bruised in the head
let him stay there
when I look in the mirror all that I see
is Jesus my Saviour living in me
Jesus my Saviour living in me
well I know I'm not perfect
and some days I feel week
I'd give anything to see how God's using me
but I have the solemn Word of God
and there's nothing else worth trusting
sometimes it's hard to claim the promises
when Satan tries to weigh me down
so I cast my cares on Jesus
and I let Him have me now
and Satan brings my past up to say
come on come on I know who you've been
don't you want just a little taste of sin
come on come on just look in the mirror
can't you see
that man you used to be
and I'll say
no I can't search the living among the dead
that man was bruised right on the head
when I look in the mirror all that I see
is Jesus my Saviour living in me
no I can't search the living among the dead
that man was bruised right on the head
when I look in the mirror all that I see
is Jesus my Saviour living in me

where Thou Leadest
I know not Lord where Thou leadest
but know I well my dear Guide
I will go Lord
where You call me
never Lord to run and hide
I will go Lord where You call me
till the day You come
or till the day I die
I will be Thy faithful servant
till the day my service ends
when the day should come that I should
lose this life I gave to Thee
let the life that I gave to Thee
bring You oer Thy just reward
let the glory of Thy kingdom
redeem me and many more
I will go Lord where Thou leadest
I will go Lord where Thy send
I will live for Thou my Saviour
till the end of time I know
if You send me to the desert
to tread where camels die of thirst
I will go Lord
spending much time
on my knees to know Your will
I will go Lord where Thou sendest
teach me oer Thy dear will first
if Thou sendest where the horses
dare not tread their tender hooves
still I'll go Lord
to bring Thou the purchase price
of Thy dear blood
send me wheresoever
there are those who'll look in faith
as the Saviour
lifted up to save a world
a fallen race
let me go Lord
I will go Lord
where Thou leadest oer the day
I will go Lord where Thou sendest
teach me oer Thy dear will first
I will go Lord where Thou sendest
for Thy dear will
is my worth

to the end of time
Not too many people would have guessed
that I'd be the one to give my life to the God of righteousness
even I wouldn't have made that bet
but the love of Christ captured my soul
took me in and took control
the love of Christ set me free
from a world of sin that beset me
oh I thought I was happy chasing girls and cars
I thought I wanted to be a movie star
then I found out that those stars don't shine
so I'll live for Jesus till the end of time
oh I can't wait to see that day
stars and Angels sing and sway
oh I can't wait for eternal life
with the center of unbroken praise
oh I thought I was happy chasing girls and cars
I thought I wanted to be a movie star
till I learned that those stars don't shine
now I'm serving Jesus to the end of time
oh Jesus is the King of saints
I wanna be with Him I can't wait
I'm singing of His amazing grace
of His love I've had just a taste
my conscience is captivated now
by the Word of God's own mouth
my conscience is captivated now
I will live by faith somehow
oh I thought I was happy chasing girls and cars
I thought I wanted to be a movie star
till I learned that those stars don't shine
now I serve Jesus to the end of time
Jesus is the only way
I live to please His sovereign sway
oh I love to give myself away
to the center of unbroken praise
oh I thought I was happy chasing girls and cars
I thought I wanted to be a movie star
till I learned that those stars don't shine
now I serve Jesus to the end of time

I live and die
To live is Christ
to die is gain
I live my life
for Jesus name
my Saviour is
my love on high
my God is love
it's for Him I live
for Him I die
should He spare my life
err many years
I'll take His Word
to hearing ears
no matter where
no matter when
I'll do His will
I'll proclaim His Word
to hearing ears
to live is Christ
to die is gain
I live my life
for Jesus name
the Gospel call
to bring me home
never more
again to roam
love of God
love of men
caring for
our brethren
to love my God
to live in Him
to is is Christ
to die is gain
I live my life
for His sweet name
if I should die
let my death come
that other men
may feel the rise
of God's only Son
the fear of God
no fear of men
should I die
I'll rise again
should I die
I'll sing again
to live is Christ
to die is gain
I live and die
for Jesus name
I live and die
for Jesus name
