Verse 1
What gift of grace is Jesus, my redeemer!
There is no more for heaven now to give.
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom,
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace.

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus!
For my life is wholly bound to His.
Oh, how strange and divine, I can sing: All is mine!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

Verse 2
The night is dark but I am not forsaken,
For by my side, the Savior He will stay.
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing,
For in my need, His power is displayed.

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me!
Through the deepest valley, He will lead.
Oh, the night has been won, and I shall overcome!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

Verse 3
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated!
Jesus now and ever is my plea.
Oh, the chains are released, I can sing: I am free!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

Verse 4
With every breath, I long to follow Jesus,
For He has said that He will bring me home!
And day by day I know He will renew me,
Until I stand with joy before the throne.

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus!
All the glory evermore to Him!
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!

When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!

Take Time to Be Holy

William D. Longstaff, 1822-1894
[Key: Db]

Verse 1
Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy Lord;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word:
Make friends of God’s children, help those who are weak;
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

Verse 2
Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret with Jesus alone:
By looking to Jesus, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.

Verse 3
Take time to be holy, let Him be thy guide,
And run not before Him whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow still follow thy Lord,
And looking to Jesus, still trust in His Word.

Verse 4
Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul;
Each thought and each motive beneath His control;
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.

Ray Palmer, 1830
[Key: Bb]

Verse 1
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray, take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day be wholly Thine!

Verse 2
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee,
Pure warm, and changeless be, a living fire!

Verse 3
While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread, be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray from Thee aside.

Verse 4
When ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold sullen stream over me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love, fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above, a ransomed soul!

O Church, Arise

Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
[Key: C]

Verse 1
O Church arise
And put your armor on;
Hear the call of Christ our Captain;
For now the weak
Can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness.

Verse 2
Our call to war
To love the captive soul,
But to rage against the captor;
And with the sword
That makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valour.
When faced with trials on every side,
We know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have
The prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations.

Verse 3
Come see the cross
Where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken;
Then see His foes
Lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away,
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This victory march continues till the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him.

Verse 4
So Spirit come
Put strength in every stride,
Give grace for every hurdle,
That we may run
With faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When with Christ we stand in glory.

The Church’s One Foundation

1874

Samuel J. Stone, 1866
[Key: D]

Verse 1
The church’s one foundation,
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is His new creation
By water and the Word.
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her
And for her life He died.

Verse 2
Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation,
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.

Verse 3
The Church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord to defend,
To guide, sustain, and cherish,
Is with her to the end:
Though there be those who hate her,
And false sons in her pale,
Against or foe or traitor
She ever shall prevail.

Verse 4
Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed:
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song!

Verse 5
‘Mid toil and tribulation,
and tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till, with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.

Verse 6
Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won,
O happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell…
That we may dwell…
That we will dwell with Thee.

By: Martha Taplin
Based on Bob Jenning’s Prayer:

“What has the Lord done for us,
that we will conquer the grave?”

[Key: D]

Verse 1
Ignoring Your love
We went our own way
We were far off
We talked our own praise.
We were like sheep
Just going astray
But You have come,
Lord what have You done?

Verse 2
You sent Your Son
From Your very own side
He poured Himself out
Such great sacrifice
To die for sinners
Redeem fallen man
You bore our own sins, Lord,
What have You done?

Chorus 1
What have You done?
What have You done?
What have You done, Lord
Hallelujah, what have You done?

All! All! All for Christ!
He deserves our all!
All, brethren, all for Christ!
Give to Christ your all!

Verse 3
How blessed is the man
Whose sins are forgiven
Whose sins are covered
With His precious blood
How blessed is the man
With righteousness given
Apart from his works, Lord
What have You done?

Verse 4
You call us saints
You don’t call us sinners
You call us sheep
You don’t call us goats
You call us friends
Not Your enemies
You call us sons, Lord
What have You done?

Chorus
What have You done?
What have You done?
What have You done, Lord
Hallelujah, what have You done?

All! All! All for Christ!
He deserves our all!
All, brethren, all for Christ!
Give to Christ your all!

Verse 5
We’re waiting on You
Our eyes are on You
We cannot say
No – talk, sing, or tell
Words cannot capture
Enough of Your worth
We thank You and say,
Lord, what have You done?

Verse 6
Let’s give Him our strength
Let’s give Him our youth
Never postpone
No, never be fooled
Hold forth the Truth
The Word of our God
This privilege is ours
Oh, what have You done?

Chorus
What have You done?
What have You done?
What have You done, Lord
Hallelujah, what have You done?

All! All! All for Christ!
He deserves our all!
All, brethren, all for Christ!
Give to Christ your all!

Chorus
Christ! Christ! All for Christ!
He deserves our all!
Christ! Christ! All for Christ!
Give to Christ your all!

Men of faith rise up and sing
Of the great and glorious King.

In your brokenness complete.

Who can know the healing power
Of our awesome King of love

We’ve been through fire,
We’ve been through rain;

We’ve fallen deeper in love with You.
You’ve burned the truth on our lips.

Chorus
Shout to the north and the south
Sing to the east and the west
Jesus is Savior to all
Lord of heaven and earth

Verse 3
Rise up church with broken wings,
Fill this place with songs again
Of our God who reigns on high
By His grace again we’ll fly

Shout to the north and the south
Sing to the east and the west
Jesus is Savior to all
Lord of heaven and earth

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.

Verse 1
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

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

Verse 1
In the harvest field now ripened,
There’s a work for all to do.
Hark, the voice of God is calling,
To the harvest calling you.
