'Tis So Sweet to Trust In Jesus

  

 1  

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,  

Just to take Him at His word;  

Just to rest upon His promise;  

Just to know, Thus saith the Lord. 

2  

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,  

Just to trust His cleansing blood;  

Just in simple faith to plunge me,  

’Neath the healing, cleansing flood.  

3  

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,  

Just from sin and self to cease;  

Just from Jesus simply taking  

Life, and rest, and joy, and peace.  

4  

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,  

Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;  

And I know that Thou art with me,  

Wilt be with me to the end.  

REFRAIN  

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,  

How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,  

Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!  

O for grace to trust Him more

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. ~Proverbs 3:5


 "trust in Jesus"  

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  

Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.  

Psalm 9:10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.     

"his cleansing blood"  

1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.  

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,   

 "to plunge me 'neath the healing cleansing flood"  

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.  

  "life and rest and joy and peace"  

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  

Matthew 11:28-29 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  

John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.  

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.     

"wilt be with me to the end"  

Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

To Christ Be True

1  
To Christ be loyal and be true;   
His banner be unfurled,  
And borne aloft till is secured   
The conquest of the world.  
2  
To Christ be loyal and be true;   
He needs brave volunteers  
To stand against the pow’rs of sin,  
Moved not by frowns or fears.  
3  
To Christ be loyal and be true;   
In noble service prove  
Your faith and your fidelity,   
The fervor of your love.  
4  
To Christ be loyal and be true,   
And He will be your friend,  
Defending and protecting you   
To life’s triumphant end.  
Refrain:  
To Christ, the Lord, be true,  
For He will go with you,  
And help you all your conflicts thru;  
To Christ, the Lord, be true.

John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 

Psalm 60:4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth.    

Romans 8:37-39 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.    

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.    

2 Corinthians 7:5-6 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;       

John 15:13-15 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.    

Matthew 28:20 And, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.    

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Love Lifted Me

1  

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.  

2  

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.  

3  

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;  

Love lifted me, 

Love lifted me,  

When nothing else could help,  

Love lifted me.

Matthew 14:22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. 33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

I Am the Vine

 

1  

I am the vine, and ye are the branches,  

Bear precious fruit for Jesus to-day;  

Branches in Him no fruit ever bearing,  

Jesus hath said, "He taketh away."  

2  

Now ye are clean, thro' words I have spoken,  

Living in me, much fruit ye shall bear;  

Dwelling in you, my promise unbroken,  

Glory in heav'n with me ye shall share.  

3  

Yes, by your fruits the world is to know you,  

Walking in love as children of day;  

Follow your Guide, he passeth before you,  

Leading to realms of glorious day.  

Refrain:  

I am the vine, and ye are the branches,  

I am the vine, be faithful and true;  

Ask what ye will, your prayer shall be granted;  

The Father loved me, so I have loved you.

 John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.  8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.    

Matthew 19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.    

John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.    1 

Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.    

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Stand Still



The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now

You feel you're walking all alone. But He is there no doubt

When the storm around you rages, And you're tossed to and fro

When you're f aced with life's decisions, Not sure which way to go


Stand still and let God move

Standing still is hard to do

When you feel you have reached the end

He'll make a way for you

Stand still and let God move


When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls are closing in

When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where He's been

Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms weren't reaching out

You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now


Stand still and let God move

Standing still is hard to do

When you feel you have reached the end

He'll make a way for you

Stand still and let God move


The answer will come, But only in His time


Stand still and let God move

Watching You

1  
All along on the road to the soul's true abode,  
There’s an eye watching you;  
Ev’ry step that you take this great eye is awake,  
There’s an eye watching you.  
2  
As you make life’s great fight, keep the pathway of right,  
There’s an eye watching you;  
God will warn not to go in the path of the foe,  
There’s an eye watching you.  
3  
Fix your mind on the goal, that sweet home of the soul,  
There’s an eye watching you;  
Never turn from the way to the kingdom of day,  
There’s an eye watching you.  
Refrain:  
Watching you, watching you,  
Ev’ry day mind the course you pursue,  
Watching you, watching you,  
There’s an all seeing Eye watching you.

Matthew 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.    

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.    

Luke 16:15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.    

Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.    

Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.    

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

I Am Thine, O Lord

1  
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,  
And it told Thy love to me;  
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,  
And be closer drawn to Thee.  
2  
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,  
By the pow’r of grace divine;  
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,  
And my will be lost in Thine.  
3  
O the pure delight of a single hour  
That before Thy throne I spend,  
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,  
I commune as friend with friend!  
4  
There are depths of love that I cannot know  
Till I cross the narrow sea;  
There are heights of joy that I may not reach  
Till I rest in peace with Thee.  
REFRAIN  
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,  
To the cross where Thou hast died;  
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,  
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.    

Hebrews 10:19-21 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;    

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.    

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.    

Luke 24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.    

John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.    

John 15:13-14 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.    

Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
