Nothing Between

Charles A. Tindley, 1851-1933
[Key: D]

Verse 1
Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
Naught of this world’s delusive dream;
I have renounced all sinful pleasure;
Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between.

Chorus
Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favor:
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.

Verse 2
Nothing between, like worldly pleasure;
Habits of life, though harmless they seem;
Must not my heart from Him ever sever;
He is my All, there’s nothing between.

Chorus
Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favor:
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.

Verse 3
Nothing between, like pride or station;
Self or friends shall not intervene;
Though it may cost me much tribulation,
I am resolved, there’s nothing between.

Chorus
Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favor:
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.

Verse 4
Nothing between, e’en many hard trials,
Though the whole world against me convene;
Watching with prayer and much self denial,
I’ll triumph at last, there’s nothing between.

Chorus
Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
So that His blessed face may be seen;
Nothing preventing the least of His favor:
Keep the way clear! Let nothing between.

May Great Grace Fall Upon Us

Mark Webb, 1978
[Key: Bb]

Lord we read in Thy Word,
How Thy people once were stirred
When Thy Spirit came and shook their meeting place
How our hearts long to know
Of that Grace that stirred them so
Hear our prayer, O Lord, as now we seek Thy face

May great grace fall upon us, Lord we pray
May great grace fall upon us, Lord, today
May Thy Word be preached with power,
Fill our need of Thee this hour,
And may great grace fall upon us, Lord we pray

Verse 2
Lord, today, as long ago,
We Thy people need Thee so
For Thy power alone can light the Gospel flame
Lord, be pleased to bless this place
With the Spirit of Thy Grace
Send Thy Gospel forth and glorify Thy Name

Chorus
May great grace fall upon us, Lord we pray
May great grace fall upon us, Lord, today
May Thy Word be preached with power,
Fill our need of Thee this hour,
And may great grace fall upon us, Lord we pray

From earthborn passions set me free
And make me pure within.

With many a care oppressed;

In all my pain and misery
Be Thou my Health and Life.

Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point Thou the heavenly way.

When floods the tempest high;
When on doth rush the enemy,
O Savior, be Thou nigh!

I may Th’eternal brightness see
And share Thy joy at last.

I Asked The Lord that I Might Grow

Piano Only

With Vocals

John Newton 1779
[Key: Bb]

Verse 1
I asked the Lord that I might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace;
Might more of His salvation know,
And seek, more earnestly, His face.

Verse 2
‘Twas He who taught me thus to pray,
And He, I trust, has answered prayer!
But it has been in such a way,
As almost drove me to despair.

Verse 3
I hoped that in some favored hour,
At once He’d answer my request;
And by His love’s constraining pow’r,
Subdue my sins, and give me rest.

Verse 4
Instead of this, He made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart;
And let the angry pow’rs of hell
Assault my soul in every part.

Verse 5
Yea more, with His own hand He seemed
Intent to aggravate my woe;
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
Blasted my gourds, and laid me low.

Verse 6
Lord, why is this, I trembling cried,
Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?
“‘Tis in this way, the Lord replied,
I answer prayer for grace and faith.

Verse 7
These inward trials I employ,
From self, and pride, to set thee free;
And break thy schemes of earthly joy,
That thou may’st find thy all in Me.”

Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour.

And ne’er from us depart,

Eternal praises be,
Hence, evermore.
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity love and adore!

Jesus loves to answer prayer;

Therefore will not say thee nay;

Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt;

Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign;
And without a rival reign.

Let Thy love my spirit cheer;
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend,
Lead me to my journey’s end;
Lead me to my journey’s end.

Every hour my strength renew:
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die Thy people’s death;

Brethren We Have Met to Worship

George Atkins, 1819
[Key: D]

Verse 1
Brethren we have met to worship,
And adore the Lord our God;
Will you pray with all your power,
While we try to preach the Word?
All is vain unless the Spirit
Of the Holy One comes down
Brethren, pray, & holy manna
Will be showered all around.

Verse 2
[Sisters]
Brethren see poor sinners round you
Slumbering on the brink of woe;
Death is coming, hell is moving,
Can you bear to let them go?
See our fathers and our mothers
And our children sinking down!
Brethren, pray and holy manna
will be showered all around.

Verse 3
[Brothers]
Sisters, will you join and help us?
Moses’ sister aided him;
Will you help the trembling mourners
Who are struggling hard with sin?
Tell them all about the Savior
Tell them that He will be found!
Sisters, pray, and holy manna
Will be showered all around.

Verse 4
Let us love our God supremely,
Let us love each other, too;
Let us love and pray for sinners,
‘Till our God makes all things new.
Then He’ll call us home to Heaven
At His table we’ll sit down.
Christ will gird Himself and serve us
With sweet manna all around.
