I ‘ve a crown in the Kingdom
Ain’t that good news
I’ve a crown up in the Kingdom
Ain’t that good news

I’m going to lay down this world
Going to shoulder up my cross
Goin’ to take it home to Jesus
Ain’t that good news

I ‘ve a harp in the Kingdom
Ain’t that good news…

I ‘ve a robe in the Kingdom
Ain’t that good news…

I ‘ve slippers in the Kingdom
Ain’t that good news…

I ‘ve a Saviour in the Kingdom
Ain’t that good news…

Nice to see you, JC2.........

"Ride in, kind Saviour !
No man can hinder me.
O, Jesus is a mighty man !
No man, &c.
We 're marching through Virginny fields.
No man, &c.
O, Satan is a busy man,
No Man, &c.
And he has his sword and shield,
No man, &c.
O, old Secesh done come and gone !
No man can hinder me."

Oh my Lord, You are so kind
Oh my Lord, You are so kind
Morning to morning, day to day
You reveal Your righteous ways

It's Your kindness that leads to repentance
It's Your blood that brings forgiveness
It's Your mercy that leads us here
To Your throne of grace

In Your kindness I find repentance
In Your blood I find forgiveness
In Your mercy I find myself
At Your throne of grace
Your throne of grace</Font>

 

[JC2]

EROS, can I send you a PM?

 

[EROS]

Thanks for the thought, JC2. Not necessary. As per our prior communications, I'd just like to reiterate to all that you've always shown me a great deal of respect and kindness in spite of our differing spiritual views. Peace be with you and yours over these holidays,

"Brudder, keep your lamp trimmin' and a-burnin',
Keep your lamp trimmin' and a-burnin',
Keep your lamp trimmin' and a-burnin',
For dis world most done.
So keep your lamp, &c.
Dis world most done."

This is the day
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice and celebrate
This is the day
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice and celebrate

He goes before me
He walks beside me
He lives within me
He's the Lover of my soul
He's my Defender
He's my Provider
His loving mercies are brand new everyday

This is the day
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice and celebrate
This is the day
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice and celebrate

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home

The Lord has promised good to me; His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease
I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below, will be forever mine

When we’ve been there ten thousands years, bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we’d first begun

 

[Hemi-mom]

Hi Eros, Since you're on the subject of grace...

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost,
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power,
Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven,
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!

Thanks, HEMI . Your comment reminded me of a very fine movie from years ago.....THE SAILOR WHO FELL FROM GRACE WITH THE SEA ........perhaps it's too erotic for many on this thread, but it captures the need for grace in our lives ......

Amen, Oh Lawdy !
Amen. Have mercy
Amen, Amen, Amen
Sing it over now

Amen, Oh Lawdy !
Amen. Have mercy
Amen, Amen, Amen

See the little baby
Lying in a manger
On Christmas morning
Amen, Amen, Amen

See Him in a temple
Talking to the elders
How are they marvelled
Amen, Amen, Amen


See Him at the seashore
Preaching to the people
Healing all the sick ones
Amen, Amen, Amen

See Him at the garden
Praying to the father
In deepest sorrow
Amen, Amen, Amen

See Him on the cross
Bearing all my sins
In bitter agony
Amen, Amen, Amen

Yes, He died to save us
And He rose in Easter
Now He lives for ever
Amen, Amen, Amen

Hallelujah!
Jesus is my Saviour
For He lives forever
Amen, Amen, Amen

Beautiful songs, everyone.

Here is my other favorite:


PASS IT ON

It only takes a spark to get a fire going.
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it.
You spread His love to ev'ry one,
You want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are budding,
The birds begin to sing,
The flowers start their blooming;
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it.
You want to sing. It's fresh like spring,
You want to pass it on.

I wish for you, my friend, this happiness that I've found
You can depend on Him,
It matters not where you're bound;
I'll shout it from the mountain top,
I want my world to know:
The Lord of love has come to me
I want to pass it on.

With a special thanks to Randy Bassett who shared the love of Jesus Christ to me through this and many, many more songs.

Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen, Amen

The Lord is my Shepherd
He leads me day by day
He feeds me when I’m hungry
And hears me when I pray

John on the Isle of Patmos
Looked over inn the Glory –landHe heard the angels singing
And shouting Hallelujah! Amen


I would not be a deceiver
I’ll tell you the reason why
I’m afraid my Lord might call me
And I wouldn’t be ready to die

When I was a sinner
A sinner just like you
I came to the Lord in repentance
I believed till I came thro’

Sometimes my way is clouded
My pathway all confused
I set my face toward heaven
Determined to go thro’

 

[Dan Murphy]

Just passing it on, Brenda.

Stille Nacht (Silent Night)

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
nur das traute hochheilige Paar.
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar,
schlaf in himmlischer Ruh',
schlaf in himmlischer Ruh'.

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Hirten erst kundgemacht
durch der Engel Hallelujah,
tönt es laut von fern und nah,
Christ, der Retter ist da,
Christ, der Retter ist da!

Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht,
Gottes Sohn, o wie lacht
Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund,
da uns schlägt die rettende Stund',
Christ, in deiner Geburt,
Christ, in deiner Geburt!


Lyrics--Father Joseph Mohr 1816

Pure city,
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Oh, Babylon’s falling, falling, falling
Babylon’s falling to rise no more.

Oh, Jesus, tell you once before,
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
To go in peace an’ sin no more
Babylon’s falling to rise no more

If you get there before I do
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Tell all my friends I’m coming too

Buck, I love that song - says a lot!

Dan, beautiful Christmas song!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<font color="darkblue">
I cry out
for your hand of mercy to heal me.
I am weak,
I need your love to free me.
Oh Lord, my rock,
my strength in weakness,
Come rescue me, Oh Lord.

You are my hope, your promise never fails me.
And my desire is to follow you forever.

For you are good,
For you are good,
For you are good to me.
For you are good,
For you are good,
For you are good to me.

"O, Jordan bank was a great old bank !
Dere ain't but one more river to cross.
We have some valiant soldier here,
Dere ain t, &c.
O, Jordan stream will never run dry,

Dere's a hill on my leff, and he catch on my right,
Dere ain't but one more river to cross."

Child of Peace

On a night of promise long ago,
When a star announced the light of hope,
To a world that knew no peace before,
The holy child of peace was born.

But he stirred their longings deep within,
For His kingdom knew no end.
From a place eternal high above,
The wonderous Child of peace had come.

Child of comfort
Child of light
Hope that drives
Away the night!

Touch our lives
From heaven above
Oh Child of Peace
We need your love.

In a world where peace eludes us still,
Where the heart exerts its will.
At a time when words are not enough
0h Child of peace,
We need your love.

Oh man of peace
We need your love.

God who only
Knows our need,
Come to us
Oh child of peace.


Bob Farrel--sung by Sandi Patty

Oh, Jesus, tell you once before,

Babylon’s falling to rise no more

If you get there before I do
Babylon’s falling to rise no more
Tell all my friends I’m coming too
