<font face="Comic Sans MS"><font color=navy>Back when I was a teen I belonged to our church choir (my kids would have said that the nun in charge was tone deaf if she let me be part of the choir ), and I still can remember this song from the 70's. I still get tears when I sing it, especially the last verse.

You said you'd come and shed all my sorrows
You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows
I came so close to sending you away
But just like you promised, you came here to stay

I just had to pray

And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side
I know that you're thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you, for those tears I died."

Your goodness so great, I can't understand
And I know dear Lord, that all this was planned.
I know You're here now, and always will be
Your love burst my chains, and in You I'm free

But, Jesus, why me?

And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side
I know that you're thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you, for those tears I died."

Jesus, I give you my heart and my soul
I know that without You, I'll never be whole
Savior, You opened all the right doors
And I thank You and praise You from Earth's humble shores

Take me, I'm Yours

And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side
I know that you're thirsty, you won't be denied.
I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried,
And I strove to remind you, for those tears I died."

Hi Mary Jo,
Wow, I used to sing that song when I was a teen and in a Christian band in the 1970's! It brings back happy memories, thanks for posting!

Mary Jo, you are awesome! I haven't heard that song lately, and I soooo love it! And you made me LOL about the nun being tone deaf! Thanks for posting!!

Thanks, you guys. I find that whenever I'm walking by myself I usually sing that song... I'm always singing, to the chagrin of the rascals... but I'm going to tell them that Princess Michelle liked the way I sounded.

I bow my knee before Your throne
I know my life is not my own
I offer up this song of praise
To bring You pleasure Lord

I seek the Giver, not the gift
My one desire is to lift
You high above all earthly things
To bring You pleasure Lord

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah Glory to the King
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah Glory to the King</Font>

I am a poor pilgrim of sorrowI’m tossed in this wide world alone
No hope I have for to morrow
I’ve started to heav’n my home

Sometimes I am tossed and driven, Lord,
Sometimes I don’t know where to roam
I’ve heard of a city called heaven
I’ve started to make it my home

My mother reached that pure glory
My father’s still walkin’ in sin
My brothers and sisters won’t own me
Because I am tryin’ to get in

 

[EROS]

Climbin’ up d’ mountain, children
Didn’t come here to stay
And if I nevermore see you again
Gonna meet you at de judgment day

Hebrew in de fiery furnace
And dey begin to pray
And de good Lawd smote dat fire out
Oh, wasn’t dat a mighty day !
Good Lord, wasn’t dat a mighty day !

Daniel went in de lions den
And he begin to pray
And de angels of de Lawd locked de lion’s jaw
Oh, wasn’t dat a mighty day !
Good Lord, wasn’t dat a mighty day !

 

[EROS]

I love to shout, I love to sing
Let God’s saints come in
I love to pray my heav’nly King
Let God’s saints come in

Come down, angels, trouble the waters
Come down, angels, trouble the waters
Come down, angels, trouble the waters
Let God’s saints come in

I think I hear the sinner say
Let God’s saints come in
My Saviour taught me how to pray
Let God’s saints come in

I hope to meet my brother there
Let God’s saints come in
That used to join with me in pray’r
Let God’s saints come in

Didn’t Jesus tell you once before
Let God’s saints come in
To go in peace and sin no more
Let God’s saints come in

My DD name is Andrea so I love this song

Live the Life"

I remember when you took a stand
With the pearl of wisdom in your hand
And a soul of desire
You hold your own up against the world
A lion's heart in a little girl
So unafraid of the fire

But those days don't last
Sweet dreams die fast
A stumble when you walk on the wire
When all your friends
Start giving in
The flames are burning higher and higher

Chorus:

Don't give up, Andrea
Got the whole world at your feet
Just keep on holding on
This is where you need to be

All the days that you've been spending
Spinning while your heart's descending
Like a stone in the ocean
Sometimes when you think the world is ending
It's really just a new beginning
The other side of emotion

But I've seen your eyes
No compromise
When you set your mind on the matter
Be strong through the tears
And your sight will clear
You're gonna get what you're after

Chorus

Bridge:

Don't be surprised when the road divides
Just take the one less traveled by

Chorus

 

[EROS]

Come down
Come down, my Lord
Come down
Way down in Egypt land



Jesus Christ, He died for me
Way down in Egypt land
Jesus Christ He set me free
Way down in Egypt land



Born of God I know I am
Way down in Egypt land
I’m purchased by the dying Lamb
Way down in Egypt land



Peter walked upon the sea
Way down in Egypt land
And Jesus told him, “Come to me”
Way down in Egypt land

Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us

You came from heaven to earth to show the way
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high

Ole Satan is a busy ole man
He roll stones in my way
Mass’ Jesus s my bosom friend
He roll’ em out o’ my way

O come go wid me
A-walkin’ in de heaven I roam

I did not come here myself, my Lord
It was my Lord who brought me here
And I really do believe I’m a child of God
A-walkin’ in de heaven I roam

<font color=navy>JC2, I love that song.

We go to Mass on Sundays @ 5:30pm, and it's geared to the teens. We often sing this song with all the hand gestures.

Happy Sunday, and God Bless
