Ever in my life All along the way You were there, though I confess I’m slow to see Even in the night All alone, it seemed But faithful hands were reaching out to guide me In the desert dry Wand’ring without home You were there providing for Your needy sheep Manna from the sky Water from the stone Till you led them safely over Jordan Chorus: O your steadfast love endures forever You fill the hungry soul with good So ever in my life, all along the way I give thanks for Yahweh walks beside me Foolish in my pride When I spurned your ways I was bound in irons of affliction In despair I cried You sent forth your Word Bursting bonds and prison doors to freedom Ever in my life Though the shadows fall You’ll be there as surely as you’ve been before Let me now be wise Quicker now to see That your steadfast love is fixed upon me

My life flows on in endless song Above earth's lamentation I catch the real though far-off hymn That hails a new creation Through all the tumult and the strife I hear that music ringing It finds an echo in my soul How can I keep from singing? Chorus: No storm can shake my inmost calm While to that rock I'm clinging Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth How can I keep from singing? What though my joys and comforts die The Lord my Savior liveth What though the darkness gather 'round Songs in the night He giveth The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart A fountain ever springing All things are mine since I am His How can I keep from singing?

Your Blood 04:53
In every weakness of my fallen flesh My source of strength is Your blood, O Jesus Though my transgressions rise above my head They can rise no higher than the cross Chorus: For Your blood is stronger than my sin Your grace is deeper than my debt My redemption is paid unto the final cent Oh what freedom, my Jesus O wash me purer than the driven snow Renew my heart by Your blood, O Jesus To Calv’rys mountain I will daily go I will leave my burden at the cross What sin can separate me from Your love? The price was paid by Your blood, O Jesus Though condemnation tries to dig them up They were nailed forever to the cross And when I stand before the ageless throne My soul shall plead: just the blood of Jesus Then as I’m gathered with the saints of old We will sing the wonders of the cross

Blessed Jesus, our Master and our Guide Grant us grace to continue in Your truth Through a sea of entanglements and lies Let your Word, never changing, point us on As a compass in a raging storm Keeping course though our eyes fail to see As a rock in a world of shifting sand On Your Word give your servants grace to stand Give us strength for the burdens to be borne For the way wide and easy lies behind If Your pathway was suffering and scorn Will your church find approval and applause? No, but in distress we cling to love Knowing well we were foes of the cross But for grace we’d refuse your open hand So in your love give you servants grace to stand Give us faith that Your gospel is our pow’r Not our wit, not our wisdom, nor our zeal Only here sinners stand in judgment’s hour: Jesus died, he was buried, he was raised On this solid hope your church is built And against every foe shall prevail Words of life for a dry and weary land Near the cross, give your servants grace to stand Give us hope set completely on the grace To be ours when Your glory is revealed Though the godless around us rule these days Nations rise, kingdoms totter, Jesus reigns All the praise be Yours forevermore King of Kings, Lord of Lords, quickly come Till we see in the clouds the Son of Man Strong in hope give your servants grace to stand All the praise be Yours forevermore King of Kings, Lord of Lords, quickly come Till we see in the clouds the Son of Man Strong in hope give your servants grace to stand Strong in hope give your servants grace to stand

Every secret thought, He has searched it Each unspoken word, He has known it With Him the darkness is like the day Tremble in the light of His presence Years we spent in deep self-indulgence Heedless of His gaze set upon us But out of darkness He called us home To dwell within the light of His goodness Chorus: So let us not be lured by lesser loves But hunger for the smile of God above Forsaking worthless ways We live our days before His face Ev’n if all the world should approve us Or in their judgment, rail and condemn us To God we answer, to Him alone Forever in the light of His presence Every breath, a gift for His worship Every pow’r, a tool for His service Let all within us unite in love Flourish in the light of His goodness With all our heart Our soul, our mind Our strength, our God Ever, only, all for You With all our heart Our soul, our mind Our strength, our God Ever, only, all for You
6.
May the mind of Christ my Savior Live in me from day to day By His love and power controlling All I do and say May the Word of God dwell richly In my heart from hour to hour So that all may see I triumph Only through His power May the love of Jesus fill me As the waters fill the sea Him exalting, self abasing This is victory May I run the race before me Strong and brave to face the foe looking only unto Jesus as I onward go May His beauty rest upon me As I seek the lost to win And may all forget the channel Seeing only Him May I run the race before me strong and brave to face the foe Looking only unto Jesus As I onward go Looking only unto Jesus As I onward go
