WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners Jesus! What a friend for sinners! Jesus! Lover of my soul; Friends may fail me, foes assail me, He, my Savior, makes me whole. Chorus Hallelujah! What a Savior! Hallelujah! What a friend! Saving, helping, keeping, loving, He is with me to the end. Jesus! What a strength in weakness! Let me hide myself in Him; Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, He, my strength, my victory wins. Jesus! What a help in sorrow! While the billows over me roll, Even when my heart is breaking, He, my comfort, helps my soul. I Surrender All All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, in His presence daily live. Chorus I surrender all, I surrender all. All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. All to Jesus I surrender, humbly at His feet I bow, Worldly pleasures all forsaken, take me, Jesus, take me now. All to Jesus I surrender, Lord, I give myself to Thee; Fill me with Thy love and power, touch this broken world through me. 6
WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS I Love to Tell the Story I love to tell the story of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love. I love to tell the story because I know tis true. It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do. Chorus I love to tell the story! Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love. I love to tell the story; tis pleasant to repeat What seems each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet. I love to tell the story, for some have never heard The message of salvation from God s own holy Word. I love to tell the story, for those who know it best Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest. And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song, Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long. Shine, Jesus, Shine Lord, the light of Your love is shining, in the midst of the darkness shining; Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us, set us free by the truth You now bring us; Shine on me. Shine on me. Chorus Shine Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father s glory; Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire. Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy; Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light. Lord, I come to Your awesome presence, from the shadows into Your radiance; By the blood I may enter Your brightness; search me, try me, consume all my darkness; Shine on me. Shine on me. As we gaze on Your kingly brightness, so our faces display Your likeness, Ever changing from glory to glory; mirrored here, may our lives tell Your story; Shine on me. Shine on me. 7
