#528 My Faith Has Found a Resting Place We who have believed enter that rest. --Hebrews 4:3 My faith has found a resting place Not in device nor creed: I trust the Ever-living One His wounds for me shall plead. Refrain Enough for me that Jesus saves This ends my fear and doubt; A sinful soul, I come to Him He ll never cast me out. Refrain My heart is leaning on the Word The written Word of God: Salvation by my Savior s name, Salvation thro His blood. Refrain My great Physician heals the sick The lost He came to save; For me His precious blood He shed For me His life He gave. Refrain Refrain: I need no other argument, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And that He died for me. Text: Lidie H. Edmunds; Music: Norwegian Folk melody In the Public Domain #508 Love Lifted Me He reached down from on high and drew me out of deep waters. --Psalm 18:16 I was sinking deep in sin, Far from the peaceful shore, Very deeply stained within, Sinking to rise no more; But the Master of the sea Heard my despairing cry, From the waters lifted me; Now safe am I. All my heart to Him I give; Ever to Him I'll cling, In His blessed presence live, Ever His praises sing. Love so mighty and so true Merits my soul s best songs; Faithful, loving service, too, To Him belongs. Souls in danger, look above; Jesus completely saves; He will lift you by His love Out of the angry waves. He s the Master of the sea, Billows His will obey; He your Savior wants to be, Be saved today. Refrain: Love lifted me! Love lifted me! When nothing else could help, Love lifted me.

#520 The Longer I Serve Him I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of His Son. --Romans 1:9 Since I started for the Kingdom, Since my life He controls, Since I gave my heart to Jesus, The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows. Refrain Every need He is supplying; Plenteous grace He bestows. Every day my way gets brighter; The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows. Refrain Refrain: The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows. The more that I love Him, more love He bestows. Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows. The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.
