I Sing the Mighty Power of God

1 

We sing the mighty power of God

that made the mountains rise,

that spread the flowing seas abroad

and built the lofty skies.

We sing the wisdom that ordained

the sun to rule the day;

the moon shines full at his command,

and all the stars obey.

2 

We sing the goodness of the Lord

that filled the earth with food;

he formed the creatures with his word

and then pronounced them good.

Lord, how your wonders are displayed,

where'er we turn our eyes,

if we survey the ground we tread

or gaze upon the skies.

3 

There's not a plant or flower below

but makes your glories known,

and clouds arise and tempests blow

by order from your throne;

while all that borrows life from you

is ever in your care,

and everywhere that we can be,

you, God, are present there.

Okay, so here's what it's like to live in my brain...

See that next to last line? (And everywhere that we can be) Every time I hear this song it makes me think of Mary Had a Little Lamb. (And everywhere that Mary went...) You can actually sing the entire song to this hymn tune. Try it.

Oh, Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow,

And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her to school one day, which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.

(You've seen it. Now you can't unsee it. Haha!)

I Love My Savior Too

1

Jesus, my heavenly King, loves me, I know,

Praises to Him I sing, onward I go;

Closely to Him I cling, blessings still flow,

I love my Savior, too.

2

Walking with him each day, love light doth shine,

Doing his will alway, never repine,

Kneeling to him I pray, "Thy will, not mine,"

I love my Savior, too.

3

Happy to serve my friend, lean on His arm,

Rapture will never end, nothing alarm;

Voices will sweetly blend, under His charm,

I love my Savior too.

CHORUS

I love my Savior, [Yes I truly love my blessed Savior]

He loves me, too; [And he ever loves me, too]

I seek His favor [Humbly now I seek his grace and favor]

In everything I do.

We learned this song from the Chuck Wagon Gang songbook. Here's an early recording of the Chuck Wagon Gang singing it.

Here's a video that's a bit easier on the ears. I think the name of the group is Gold City.

Here's another version, with a good old Baptist piano accompaniment:

I Surrender All

1 

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.

2 

All to Jesus I surrender,

Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;

Let me feel Thy Holy Spirit,

Truly know that Thou art mine. [Chorus]

3 

All to Jesus I surrender,

Lord, I give myself to Thee;

Fill me with Thy love and power,

Let Thy blessing fall on me. [Chorus]

Sweet is the Promise

1

Sweet is the promise I will not forget thee,

Nothing can molest or turn my soul away;

E’en though the night be dark within the valley,

Just beyond is shining an eternal day.

Chorus

I will not forget thee or leave thee,

In My hands I’ll hold thee,

In My arms I’ll fold thee,

I will not forget thee or leave thee;

I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.

2

Trusting the promise I will not forget thee,

Onward I will go with songs of joy and love,

Though earth despise me,

Though my friends forsake me,

I shall be remembered in my home above. [Chorus]

3

When at the golden portals I am standing,

All my tribulations, all my sorrows past;

How sweet to hear the blessed proclamation,

Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last. [Chorus]

I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord Forever

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever,

I will sing, I will sing,

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever,

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.

With my mouth will I make known

Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness,

With my mouth will I make known

Thy faithfulness to all generations,

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever,

I will sing of the mercies of the Lord.

Hallelujah, I'm Ready

1

In the darkness of night not a star was in site

On a highway that leads down below

But Jesus came in and saved this soul from sin

Hallelujah I’m ready to go

2

Sinners don’t wait before it’s too late

He’s a wonderful Savior you know

Well I fell on my knees and he answered my pleas

Hallelujah I’m ready to go

CHORUS

 Hallelujah (I’m ready) I’m ready (Hallelujah)

I can hear the voices singing soft and low

Hallelujah (I’m ready) I’m ready (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah I’m ready to go

I Will Sing the Wondrous Story

1 

I will sing the wondrous story

Of the Christ who died for me.

How He left His home in glory

For the cross of Calvary.

2

I was lost, but Jesus found me,

Found the sheep that went astray,

Threw His loving arms around me,

Drew me back into His way.

3 

I was bruised, but Jesus healed me;

Faint was I from many a fall;

Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,

But He freed me from them all.

4

Days of darkness still come o'er me,

Sorrow's paths I often tread,

But the Savior still is with me;

By His hand I'm safely led.

5 

He will keep me till the river

Rolls its waters at my feet;

Then He'll bear me safely over,

Where the loved ones I shall meet.

CHORUS

Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story

Of the Christ who died for me,

Sing it with the saints in glory,

Gathered by the crystal sea.

Luke 15

3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

4 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not

leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
