#682 Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah The Lord will guide yo always; He will satisfy your needs. Isaiah 58:11 Guide me,o Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak,but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand; Bread of heaven,bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my strength and shield, Be Thou still my strength and shield. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Bear me through the swelling current, Land me safe on Canaan's side; Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee, I will ever give to Thee. Colossians 3:1-11 New International Version Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Text: William Williams; translated by Peter Williams and William Williams Music: John Hughes Last stanza setting and Choral ending by Marty Parks
#434 Revive Us Again Revive us, and we will call on Your name. Psalm 80:18 Chorus Hallelujah! Thine the glory! Hallelujah! Amen! Hallelujah! Thine the glory! Revive us again. We praise Thee, O God, For the Son of Thy love For Jesus, who died And is now gone above. We praise Thee, O God, For Thy Spirit of light, Who has shown us our Savior And scattered our night. All glory and praise To the Lamb that was slain, Who has borne all our sins And has cleansed every stain. Revive us again; Fill each heart with Thy love. May each soul be rekindled With fire from above. #334 The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:28 The blood that Jesus shed for me 'Way back on Calvary, From day to day Chorus It reaches to the highest mountain; It flows to the lowest valley. From day to day-- It soothes my doubt and calms my fears, And it dries all my tears; From day to day Text: Andraé Crouch 1966 Manna Music, Inc.
