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

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
