Jesus, Priceless Treasure - October 31, 2010

Words by Johann Franck

Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Source of purest pleasure,
Truest Friend to me.
Long my hearth hath planted
'Til it well nigh fainted
Thirsting after Thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide Thee;
There is none beside Thee,
There is none beside Thee.

In Thy strength I rest me;
If Thy arms protect me,
Who can reach me here?
Though the earth be shaking,
Every heart be quaking,
God dispels our fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
With their heaviest storms assail us;
Jesus will not fail us,
Jesus will not fail us.

Banished is our sadness
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er we here must bear
Still in Thee lies purest pleasure;
Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Jesus, priceless Treasure.

You Alone Can Rescue - October 24, 2010

Words and Music by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin

Who, O Lord, could save themselves
Their own soul could heal
Our shame was deeper than the sea
Your grace is deeper still

And You alone can rescue, You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave
You came down to find us, led us out of death
To You alone belongs the highest praise

You, O Lord, have made a way
The great divide You healed
For when our hearts were far away
Your love went further still
Yes, Your love goes further still

How Firm a Foundation - October 17, 2010

Words by John Rippon

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!

Still, My Soul, Be Still - October 10, 2010

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Still, my soul, be still and do not fear
Though winds of change may rage tomorrow;
God is at your side, no longer dread
The fires of unexpected sorrow.

God, You are my God
And I will trust in You and not be shaken;
Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me
To rest in You alone.

Still, my soul, be still, do not be moved
By lesser lights and fleeting shadows;
Hold on to His ways with shield of faith
Against temptation's flaming arrows.

Still, my soul, be still, do not forsake
The truth you learned in the beginning;
Wait upon the Lord and hope will rise
As stars appear when day is dimming.

My Savior, My God - October 3, 2010

Words and Music by Aaron Shust

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior.
I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For Him to be my Savior.
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior.

My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be

Yes, living, dying let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior.
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior.
