On Jordan’s Stormy Banks
On Jordans stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaans fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
All oer those wide extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land,
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land.
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land,
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land.
When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Fathers face,
And in His bosom rest?
Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven,
Feed me now and evermore;
Bread of heaven,
Feed me now and evermore.
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell’s destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee;
Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee.
Land me safe on Canaan’s side
Bid my anxious fears, my anxious fears
Land me safe on Canaan’s side
Bid my anxious fears, my anxious fears, goodbye
Wood and Nails
O humble carpenter,
Down on Your hands and knees
Look on Your handiwork and build a house
So You may dwell in me (repeat)
Chorus
The work was done with nothing but
Wood and nails in Your scar-borne hands
O show me how to work and praise
Trusting that I am Your instrument
O loving laborer with the sweat upon Your face
Oh, build a table that I may too may join You
In the Father’s place (repeat)
The kingdom’s come and built upon
Wood and nails gripped with joyfulness
So send me out, within Your ways
Knowing that the task is finished
The dead will rise and give You praise
Wood and nails will not hold them down
These wooden tombs, we’ll break them soon
And fashion them into flower beds
The curse is done, the battle won
Swords bent down into plowshares
Your scar-borne hands, we’ll join with them
Serving at the table You’ve prepared
Come Ye Sinners
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready stands to save you
Full of pity love and power
Come ye thirsty, come and welcome
God’s free bounty glorified
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh
He is able, He is able
He is willing, doubt no more
(repeat)
Come, ye weary, heavy-laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry ‘til you’re better
You will never come at all
Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him
Not the righteous, not the righteous
Jesus sinners, came to save
(repeat)
Lo! the Incarnate God, ascended;
Pleads the merit of His blood.
Venture on Him; venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.
We will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace us in His arms
In the arms of our dear savior
Oh there are ten thousand charms
His Kingdom Now is Come (Behold! Behold!)
The light shines in the darkness
And the darkness cannot overcome (x2)
Chorus
Behold! Behold!
His kingdom now is come!
The valleys will be lifted
the mountains will be brought down low (x2)
Hear the voice cry, from the highway
Make way for the Prince of Peace (x2)
God of justice, righteous judge
Behold! Behold! Behold!
Our Defender, Prince of Peace
Behold! Behold! Behold!
Father to the fatherless, Our strong deliverer
Behold! Behold! Behold!
He’s troubling the waters that we’re marching through
