Come Thou Fount
03:03
|

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of God’s unchanging love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I’ve come.
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God.
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.

Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve.
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Such Great Love!
03:46
|

I know you want us,
I can be sure ‘cause of how you
Left your throne and became poor.
Oh, maybe more.
I know you love us,
I can be sure ‘cause of how you
Touched the sick and healed the sore.
Oh, maybe more
Jesus, it’s a wonder the way you came on down.
Jesus, it’s wonder the folks you hung around.
Oh, such, such, such great love!
I know you know you us,
I know for sure ‘cause of all those things you say we can’t ignore.
Oh, maybe more.
I know you‘ve saved us
I know for sure ‘cause of how you
Took the nails to win the war.
Oh, maybe more.
Jesus, it’s a wonder you know us way inside.
Jesus, it’s a wonder you ever gave your life.
Jesus, it’s a wonder how much we fail to pray.
Jesus, it’s a wonder how much we always run away.

O my brothers be steadfast,
O my sisters be immovable,
Always abounding in the work of the Lord,
Always knowing that in the Lord,
Hey! Your labour is not in vain.
Don’t you remember?
You know that Christ was raised again,
You know that death has lost its sting, mm, mm, c’mon.
Keep on working, keep on working, keep on working.
And when I think of all that what we could do
If we were a people who really believed we’ve been given eternal life.

Joseph
03:27
|
|||
Well you could say I was a spoiled, little, bratty boy,
Wrapped in cash, while God showed me the stars.
But when my brothers skinned my coat like a man skins an animal,
I guess my God just gave me scars.
If but one grief and smart had its full career,
My heart would slowly sink, and soon disappear.
But here these griefs are made to sing.
Let’s cut to it: everybody knows I got that job
Giving grain to starving folks in town
And we could say this justified my sufferings,
But I’ve seen something more profound.
When all my brothers came, looking for some loaves of bread,
I could have thrown them straight into that jail,
But retribution can’t heal those broken roots of your heart.
If but one grief and smart had its full career,
My heart would slowly sink, and soon disappear.
But here these griefs are made to sing.
Lord, we are made like you, and like you we rise
Ours is the cross, the graves and the skies

Jesus, Lover Of My Soul
03:59
|
|||
O Jesus, O Jesus, lover of my soul,
O Jesus, while the nearer waters roll,
O Jesus, while the tempest still is high,
O Jesus, let me to thy bosom fly.
O Saviour, hide me my saviour, O hide.
O Saviour, guide me safe into your haven, O guide,
Till the storm of life is past.
O Jesus, I don’t have any other home.
O Jesus, I don’t ever, ever want to be alone.
O Jesus, O I hang so helplessly on you,
O Saviour, hide me my saviour, O hide.
O Saviour, guide me safe into your haven, O guide.

Well I’d work three more years, and then
I’d quit. I’d give up on them.
But you God, your love never ends, I know.
