For Our Children We Are Pleading

William Moore
[Key: D]

Verse 1

Father, hear a father’s pleading,

Hear a mother’s earnest cry:

For our children interceding.

Gracious Lord, don’t let them die.

We seek neither wealth nor honor

For them in this world of strife;

But through Jesus Christ our Savior,

Give them, Lord, eternal life.

Verse 2

Lord, we tremble for our children,

For we know their woeful case:

Theirs are hearts full of corruption,

Part of Adam’s fallen race.

We are helpless, Lord, to save them,

We cannot their hearts renew:

If You will, Lord. You can save them,

Nothing is too hard for You.

Verse 3

Lord, we would not be demanding,

Or presume upon Your grace,

But our hearts for them are bleeding.

Our dear children need your grace.

We commit them to Your mercy,

And we leave them in Your care:

Since it would be for Your glory

God, we pray, our children spare!

Christ the Sure and Steady Anchor

Matt Boswell and Matt Papa
Key: A

Verse 1
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
In the fury of the storm!
When the winds of doubt blow through me,
And my sails have all been torn,
In the suffering, in the sorrow,
When my sinking hopes are few,
I will hold fast to the Anchor
It shall never be removed.

Verse 2
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
While the tempest rages on.
When temptation claims the battle,
And it seems the night has won,
Deeper still then goes the Anchor!
Though I justly stand accused,
I will hold fast to the Anchor
It shall never be removed.

Verse 3
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
Through the floods of unbelief.
Hopeless, somehow, oh my soul now,
Lift your eyes to calvary!
This my ballast of assurance
See His love forever proved!
I will hold fast to the Anchor
It shall never be removed.

Verse 4
Christ the sure and steady Anchor
As we face the wave of death.
When these trials give way to glory,
And we draw our final breath,
We will cross that great horizon,
Clouds behind and life secure,
And the calm will be the better,
For the storms that we endure.

Ending
Christ the Sure of our Salvation,
Ever faithful, ever true!
We will hold fast to the Anchor,
It shall never be removed.

I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art

John Calvin, Strasbourg Psalter (1545)
Translated by Elizabeth Lee Smith (1868)

Verse 1
I greet Thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
My only Trust and Savior of my heart,
Who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray Thee, from our hearts all cares to take.

Verse 2
Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
Reigning omnipotent in every place;
So come, O King, and our whole being sway;
Shine on us with the light of Thy pure day.

Verse 3
Thou art the life by which alone we live
And all our substance and our strength receive;
Sustain us by Thy faith and by Thy pow’r,
And give us strength in ev’ry trying hour.

Verse 4
Our hope is in no other save in Thee;
Our faith is built upon Thy promise free;
Lord, give us peace and make us calm and sure,
That in Thy strength we evermore endure.

Hymn of Heaven

Phil Wickham

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
And death shall be no more,
Neither shall there be mourning,
Nor crying, nor pain anymore,
For the former things have passed away.”
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come!”
Revelation 21:3-4, 4:8

Verse 1
How I long to breathe the air of Heaven,
Where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets,
To look upon the One who bled to save me,
And walk with You for all eternity.

Chorus
There will be a day
When all will bow before You!
There will be a day
When death will be no more!
Standing face to face,
With You, who died and rose again.
Holy, holy are You Lord!

Verse 2
And every prayer we prayed in desperation,
The songs of faith,
We sang through doubt and fear
In the end, we’ll see that it was worth it,
When You return to wipe away our tears!

Chorus
There will be a day
When all will bow before You!
There will be a day
When death will be no more!
Standing face to face,
With You, who died and rose again.
Holy, holy are You Lord!

Verse 3
And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!”

And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith.
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!”

Forever You shall reign!

Chorus 2
So let it be today
We shout the Hymn of Heaven!
With angels and the Saints,
We raise a mighty roar!
Glory to our God,
Who gave us life beyond the grave!
Holy, holy are You Lord!

Chorus and Music: Stu Garrard, Stephanie Kulla,
Matthew Hein, Adam Palmer & Jonathan Lindley Smith
[Key: A]

Verse 1
The King of Love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never.
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever.

Verse 2
Where streams of living water flow,
My ransomed soul He leadeth;
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.

Chorus
Never failing, Ruler of my heart.
Everlasting, Lover of my soul!
On the mountain high or in the valley low,
The King of Love my Shepherd is!
The King of Love my Shepherd is!

Verse 3
Lost and foolish, oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me;
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.

Verse 4
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill,
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.

Chorus
Never failing, Ruler of my heart!
Everlasting, Lover of my soul!
On the mountain high or in the valley low,
The King of Love my Shepherd is!

Never failing, Ruler of my heart.
Everlasting, Lover of my soul!
On the mountain high or in the valley low,
The King of Love my Shepherd is!
The King of Love my Shepherd is!

Verse 5
So through all the length of days,
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise,
Within Thy house forever.
Within Thy house forever.

Praise the Savior, You Who Know Him

Words: Thomas Kelly 1806
Music: Traditional German Melody
[Key: A]

Verse 1
Praise the Savior, you who know Him!
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we are and have.

Verse 2
Jesus is the name that charms us;
He for conflict fits and arms us;
Nothing moves and nothing harms us
While we trust in Him.

Verse 3
Trust in Him, you saints, forever;
He is faithful, changing never;
Neither force nor guile can sever
Those He loves from Him.

Verse 4
Keep us, Lord, O keep us cleaving
To Thyself and still believing,
Till the hour of our receiving
Promised joys with Thee.

Verse 5
Then we shall be where we would be,
Then we shall be what we should be;
Things that are not now, nor could be,
Soon shall be our own.
