Jesus healed by His great pow-er
Hope in Him and serve each day
He prayed at an early ho-ur
Discipline yourself to pray
He came proclaiming the kingdom
Repent, believe, enter in
Proclaim that others may now come
And together follow Him
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
He spoke with great authority
His teaching – hear and obey
Submit with all humility
Amazed at all He does say
He cast out the unclean spirit
Be in awe of His great power
He is our hope now believe it
Spread forth His fame ev’ry hour
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
He came proclaiming the gospel
Sin and death overcoming
Turn from your sin and your idols
Believe in Jesus your King
Passing along by the seaside
He called to four: “Follow me”
Commit to join them at His side
Fishing for more to be free
Chorus
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(First 3 lines of chorus by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How God became human just like you and I
Our God in a manger – hear the baby cry
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
I wonder as I wander out under the trees
How our God could now dwell within our bodies
We walk with our Lord, He walks with you and me
I wonder as I wander out under the trees
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How God took on our flesh so that he could die
The sinless became sin for you and for I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
I wonder as I wander out under the trees
How a holy God could forgive one like me
If only I believe no more penalty
I wonder as I wonder out under the trees
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How the King of Kings in a manger did lie
His kingdom’s forever, His coming is nigh
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
I wonder as I wander in my wanderings
In awe I will worship my glorious king
I’ll live for his honor, of his grace I’ll sing
I wonder as I wander in my wanderings
Borrowing from the first verse and using
the tune of “I Wonder As I Wander”
We are a church family
All sisters and brothers
Know each one in the Body
And love one another
Together serve faithfully
Always encouraging
And from our hearts prayerfully
Offer our Lord’s blessing
We are the Lord’s family
All children of the King
He pours out His grace freely
Great love of which we sing
Peace with our God and Savior
And with His one Body
To Jesus all our hearts pour
Our love eternally
(To the tune of “The Church’s One Foundation”)
Dear Christian now commit to pray
To stand against the devil
Pray in the Spirit and always
Alert and ever watchful
Persevere – do not faint
And pray for all the saints
For courage ev’ry day
And the right words to say
To tell the gospel message
(To the tune of “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”)
Dear Christian – put on God’s armor
Truth to counter the devil
Christ’s righteousness now to cover
Your heart in this great battle
The gospel shoes put on
Peace with God through the Son
Through Him we’re one body
Proclaim to all you see
The good news of our Savior
The shield of faith take in your hand
To stop the arrows flaming
Guarded by God’s salvation – stand
Against the devil’ scheming
Take up the Spirit’s sword
And fight now like our Lord
The Bible learn and know
And so defeat the foe
Resist him ‘til he’s fleeing
(To the tune of “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”)
Finally be strong in the Lord
And in the strength of His might
So stand against the devil’s hoard
The powers of the dark night
The devil weaves his schemes
Offering good it seems
Sin wrapped up in disguise
He tempts us with his lies
We must put on God’s armor
(To the tune of “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”)
Worker obey your employer
In service to the Lord
With a good will and true honor
Your work Christ will reward
The work you do is our God’s will
What you were made to do
Serve God and people with your skill
Do what is good and true
Employer treat your workers well
With respect and honor
Do not threaten, demean, or yell
Your Master remember
We’re all called to humility
To give ourselves in love
We all have the same dignity
Before our God above
(To the tune of “We Sing the Greatness of Our God”)
Obey your father and mother
O children – this is right
And show to your parents honor
As pleasing in God’s sight
Fathers – do not provoke to wrath
Give godly discipline
Raise your children to walk God’s path
With Scripture’s instruction
(To the tune of “We Sing the Greatness of Our God”)
