Charity
by admin on May.09, 2009, under A-D
Although I speak in tongues
Of men and of angels
and though I prophesy,
and understand all
Although I have all faith
So mountains may be removed
Although I feed the poor
and give up my life.
Chorus:
If I have not charity,
If love does not flow from me,
I am nothing,
Jesus reduce me to love.
Love is patient and kind,
Love is not envious,
not proud but gentle and meek,
seeks not it’s own way.
Love sings when Jesus prevails,
believes and endures all things,
Love hopes and bears every wrong
and love never fails.
Chorus
One season I was a child,
I spoke and I thought as a child
But when I turned to a man,
such ways put aside.
Though now we see through a glass ,
yet then we shall see face to face.
Though now abide faith and hope,
the greatest is Love.
Chorus
Sweet Hour of Prayer
by admin on May.09, 2009, under Q-T
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Saviour shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”

God and heaven are known
In my mind I launch a voyage
Destiny unknown
Discovery and exploration
By the Spirit shown
On Mount Sinai I am climbing
Then in a desert place
The wind of God is inspiration
Teaching love and grace
Chorus
A quiet time is all I need
A quiet time of prayer
A quiet time alone with Jesus
He will meet me there
