I AM COMING TO THE CROSS

                                  

I am coming to the cross;

I am poor and weak and blind;

I am counting all but dross;

I shall full salvation find.


Refrain 1-4:

I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,

Blessed Lamb of Calvary;

Humbly at Thy cross I bow,

Save me, Jesus, save me now.


Long my heart has sighed to be

Wholly purified within;

Jesus sweetly speaks to me:

“I will cleanse you from all sin.” 


Here I give my all to Thee:

Friends and time and earthly store;

Soul and body Thine to be,

Wholly Thine forevermore. 


In the promises I trust;

Now I feel the blood applied;

I am prostrate in the dust;

I with Christ am crucified. 

Jesus comes! He fills my soul!

Perfected in Him I am;

I am every whit made whole:

Glory, glory to the Lamb!


Refrain 5:

I am trusting, Lord, in Thee,

Blessed Lamb of Calvary;

Humbly at Thy cross I bow,

Jesus saves me, saves me now.

WHERE IS MY WANDERING BOY TONIGHT

Where is my wandering boy tonight—

The boy of my tenderest care,

The boy that was once my joy and light,

The child of my love and prayer?

Refrain

O where is my boy tonight?

O where is my boy tonight?

My heart o’erflows, for I love him, he knows;

O where is my boy tonight?

Once he was pure as morning dew,

As he knelt at his mother’s knee;

No face was as bright, no heart more true,

And none was so sweet as he.

Refrain

O could I see you now, my boy,

As fair as in olden time,

When prattle and smile made home a joy,

And life was a merry chime!

Refrain

Go for my wandering boy tonight;

Go search for him where you will;

But bring him to me with all his blight,

And tell him I love him still.

Refrain

RIVERS OF BABYLON

                      


By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down 
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion. 
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down 
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion. 
When the wicked 
Carried us away in captivity 
Required from us a song 
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land 
When the wicked 
Carried us away in captivity 
Requiering of us a song 
Now how shall we sing the lord's song in a strange land 
Let the words of our mouth and the meditations of our heart 
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight 
Let the words of our mouth and the meditation of our hearts 
Be acceptable in thy sight here tonight 
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down 
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion. 
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down 
Ye-eah we wept, when we remembered Zion. 
By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon) 
There we sat down (You got to sing a song) 
Ye-eah we wept, (Sing a song of love) 

When we remember Zion. (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) 
By the rivers of Babylon (Rough bits of Babylon) 
There we sat down (You hear the people cry) 
Ye-eah we wept, (They need that ???) 
When we remember Zion. (Ooh, have the power)

PEACE ON EARTH

As long as we say prayers for our children
That we do not pray for others
There won't be...
And as long as we take offerings for those in need
To appease our guilt over our greed
There won't be...

There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be, there won't be
Won't be peace

When a Chinese girl and a Haitian boy
And an American child all share the same toys
There might be, there might be...
When the TV brings a tear to our eyes
And it's not a movie, but news of a hungry child across the world
There might be...

There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be, there might be
Might be peace

When I look at the world and see...

(Rap:)
We got a problem
We're seeing the surfaces too often
Whether race or religion
It makes no difference
The blood paid penance
Forgiven the death sentence
No lines no more, no rich, no poor

No Jew, no Greek, no slave, no free
When I look at you and see someone just like me
There might be, there might be...

When the Lord of all is the Lord of each
And I love you like He loves me
There might be...
No, there will be

MY JESUS

Which Jesus do you follow?
Which Jesus do you serve?
If Ephesians says to imitate Christ,
Why do you look so much like the world? 

Chorus:
Cause my Jesus bled and died
He spent His time with thieves and liars
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant
So which one do you want to be?

Blessed are the poor in spirit, do we pray to be blessed with the
Wealth of this land
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness
Do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand

Chorus:

And who is this that you follow
This picture of the American dream
If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side
Or fall down and worship at His holy feet

Pretty blue eyes, curly brown hair and a clear complexion
Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins
But the Word says He was battered and scarred
Or did you miss that part
Sometimes I doubt we’d recognize Him

Chorus:

Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church
The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet
But He reached for the hurting and despises the proud
I think He’d prefer Beal St. to the stained glass crowd
But I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud

I want to be like my Jesus
Can I be like You
I want to be like my Jesus    

MARTYR'S SONG

I've been waiting to dance with you
In fields full of colors you've never seen
I've been waiting to show you beauty
You never dreamed that's always been in you
I've been waiting to see you tremble as you're embraced
By a world saturated with my love
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child you are finally home

Sing O son of Zion
Shout O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind
For you are finally home

I've been waiting to watch you realize
What all your longing was for
I've been waiting to show you the thread of grace
That ran through all your pain
I've been waiting to let you drink the water of which
Your greatest joy on earth was just a taste
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child you are finally home

Sing O son of Zion
Shout O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind
Sing O daughter of Zion
Cry out O child of mine
Dance with all the strength that you can find
For you are finally home

Every tear you cried dried in the palm of my hand
Every lonely hour was by my side
every loved one lost, every river crossed
Every moment, every hour was pointing to this day
*I've been longing for this day*

MUST I GO, AND EMPTY HANDED

                              

1. “Must I go, and empty-handed,”
   Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
   Not one day of service give Him,
   Lay no trophy at His feet?
   • Refrain:
     “Must I go, and empty-handed?”
     Must I meet my Savior so?
     Not one soul with which to greet Him,
     Must I empty-handed go?
2. Not at death I shrink or falter,
   For my Savior saves me now;
   But to meet Him empty-handed,
   Thought of that now clouds my brow.
3. Oh, the years in sinning wasted,
   Could I but recall them now,
   I would give them to my Savior,
   To His will I’d gladly bow.
4. Oh, ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
   Up and work while yet ’tis day;
   Ere the night of death o’ertake thee,
   Strive for souls while still you may.
