  • we need a hymn right now

    This was my Mother's favorite hymn. She went home to be with the Lord May 28 of this year and I miss her. Knowing she is with Jesus makes me smile...

    HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW

    http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/h/i/hiseyeis.htm

    Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
    Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
    When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
    His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
    His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

    Refrain

    I sing because I’m happy,
    I sing because I’m free,
    For His eye is on the sparrow,
    And I know He watches me.

    “Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
    And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
    Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
    His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
    His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

    Refrain

    Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
    When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
    I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
    His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
    His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

    Refrain

    It is Well!

    When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
    When sorrows like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.

    Refrain

    It is well, with my soul,
    It is well, with my soul,
    It is well, it is well, with my soul.

    Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
    Let this blest assurance control,
    That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
    And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

    Refrain

    My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
    My sin, not in part but the whole,
    Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

    Refrain

    For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
    If Jordan above me shall roll,
    No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
    Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

    Refrain

    But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
    The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
    Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord!
    Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!

    Refrain

    And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
    The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
    The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
    Even so, it is well with my soul.

    Refrain

      Artist: MercyMe
      Album : Almost There
      Song: I Can Only Imagine Lyrics :

      I can only imagine
      What it will be like
      When I walk
      By Your side
      I can only imagine
      What my eyes will see
      When Your face
      Is before me
      I can only imagine

      {Chorus}:
      Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
      Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still
      Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall
      Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
      I can only imagine

      I can only imagine
      When that day comes
      And I find myself
      Standing in the Son
      I can only imagine
      When all I will do
      Is forever
      Forever worship You
      I can only imagine

        Time is filled with swift transition

        Time is filled with swift transition
        Not on earth unmoved can stand
        Build your hopes on things eternal
        Hold to GOD's unchanging hand

        Trust in Him who will not leave you
        Whatsoever years may bring
        If by earthly friends forsaken
        Still more closely to Him cling

        Covet not this world's vain riches
        That so rapidly decay
        Seek to gain the heavenly treasures
        They will never pass away

        When your journey is completed
        If to GOD you have been true
        Fair and bright the home in glory
        Your enraptured soul shall view

        Hold to His hand
        GOD's unchanging hand
        Hold to His hand
        GOD's unchanging hand
        Build your hopes on things eternal
        Hold to GOD's unchanging hand

          one more

          This is my area of ministry and I love this one!

          Beams of heaven as I go
          Through this wilderness below
          Guide my feet in peaceful ways
          turn my midnights into days

          when in the darkness I would grope
          Faith always sees a star of hope
          and soon from all life's grief and danger
          I shall be free someday

          Often times my sky is clear
          joy abounds without a tear
          though a day so bright begun
          clouds may hide tomorrow's sun

          but they'll be a day that's always bright
          a day that will never yield to night
          and in it's light the street of glory
          i shall behold someday

          burden's now may crush me down
          disappointment all around
          trouble speak in mournful sigh
          sorrow through a tearstained eye

          but there is a world where pleasure reigns
          no mourning soul shall roam its plains
          and to that land of peace and glory
          I want to go someday

          I do not know how long twill be
          nor what the future holds for me
          but this I know if Jesus leads me
          I shall get home someday

            This one fills my heart today.

            In Your Presence

            I want to go where the rivers cannot overflow me
            Where my feet are on a rock
            I want to hide where the blazing fire cannot burn me
            In Your presence, O God

            In Your presence, that's where I am strong
            In Your presence, O Lord my God
            In Your presence, that's where I belong
            Seeking Your face, touching Your grace
            In the cleft of the rock
            In Your presence, O God

            I want to hide where the flood of evil cannot reach me
            Where I'm covered by Your blood
            I want to be where the schemes of darkness cannot touch me
            In Your presence, O God

            You are my firm foundation
            I trust in You all day long
            I am Your child and Your servant
            And You are my strength and my song
            You're my song

              Re: we need a hymn right now

              Many things about tomorrow I dont seem to understand
              but I know who holds tomorrow and I know He holds my hand.

              I love that hYmn and "It is well with my soul"
              I cant remember the rest of the hymn I posted above just now because our church hardly sings hymns any more and I miss them. But when I am down in the dumps I hum the verses above.

                Lord I'm ready now
                I'm waiting for Your triumphant return
                You're coming so soon
                This world has nothing for me
                I find my peace and joy solely in You
                Only in You
                I want the world to see that
                You're alive and living well in me
                Let me be a part of the harvest
                For the days are few
                He's coming soon

                People get ready Jesus is comin
                Soon we'll be going home
                People get ready Jesus is coming
                To take from the world His own

                There will be a day
                When we will be divided right and left
                For those who know Him
                And those who do not know
                Those who know Him well
                Will meet Him in the air
                Hallelujah

                God is with us
                Those who do not know
                They will hear "Depart, I knew you not"
                For my friends you see
                There will be a day when we'll be counted
                So know Him well, know Him well

                People get ready Jesus is comin
                Soon we'll be going home
                People get ready Jesus is coming
                To take from the world His own
                People get ready Jesus is comin
                Soon we'll be going home
                People get readyJesus is coming
                To take from the world His own

                  Sorry- forgot to mention that the above song is by Crystal Lewis: People Get Ready, Jesus is Coming! (This is our hope and our prayer, Amen??)

                    The Solid Rock

                    "I Can Only Imagine" and "It is well" are two of my favorites. Here is another.
                    *****************************
                    THE SOLID ROCK
                    My hope is built on nothing less
                    Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
                    I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
                    But wholly trust in Jesus' Name.

                    On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
                    All other ground is sinking sand;
                    All other ground is sinking sand.

                    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.

                    His oath, His covenant, His blood,
                    Support me in the whelming flood.
                    When all around my soul gives way,
                    He then is all my Hope and Stay.

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

                      Here it is, Wendy. Clicking on the title should play a MIDI file of the song, but for some reason the link isn't working.

                      "I Know Who Holds Tomorrow"



                      by Ira F. Stanphill



                      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.




                      Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand.

                      But, I know Who holds tomorrow, and I know Who holds my hand!




                      Every step is getting brighter as the golden stairs I climb.

                      Every burden's getting lighter; every 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.




                      Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand.

                      But, I know Who holds tomorrow, and I know Who holds my hand!




                      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.




                      Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand.

                      But, I know Who holds tomorrow, and I know Who holds my hand!



                      I love all of Ira Stanphill's songs, but I think my favorite would be "Suppertime." And from the way things are going lately, it looks like dinner's almost ready.

                        thanks Narnia: I just love hymns! They are like the baton taht the generations before pass on. Songs of struggle and stregth in faith. The razzle dazzle songs or choruses may have their place but they dont have the age to age permanence of those hymns of old--IMO
