CHILD OF THE KING

CHILD OF THE KING

Once I was clothed in the rags of my sin
Wretched and poor lost and lonely within
But with wonderous compassion the King of all Kings
In pity and love took me under his wing.

Oh yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King
His royal blood now flows in my veins
And I who was wretched and poor now can sing
Praise God Praise God I'm a child of the King.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I'm a child with a heavenly home
My holy father has made me his own
And I am cleansed by his blood and I'm clothed in his love
And someday I'll sing with the angels above.

Oh yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King
His royal blood now flows in my veins
And I who was wretched and poor now can sing
Praise God Praise God I'm a child of the King...

I AM DETERMINED TO HOLD OUT TILL THE END

I AM DETERMINED TO HOLD OUT TILL THE END

When I first found Jesus, something o’er me stole,
Like lightning it went through me, and glory filled my soul;
Salvation made me happy, and took my fears away,
And when I meet old Satan, to him I always say:
Refrain
I am determined to hold out to the end,
Jesus is with me, on Him I can depend;
And I know I have salvation, for I feel it in my soul;
I am determined to hold out to the end.
Satan, he was angry, said he’d soon be back:
Just let the path get narrow, and he will lose the track;
But I’m so full of glory, my Lord I always find,
And I just say to Satan, Old man, get thee behind.
Refrain
This old time religion makes me sometimes shout,
I don’t have time to gossip, nor any time to pout;
They say that I’m too noisy, but when these blessings flow,
I shout, O hallelujah, I want the world to know.
Refrain
When I hear the trumpet sounding in the sky,
And see the mountains trembling, to Heaven I will fly;
For Jesus will be calling, there’ll be no time to mend,
With joy I’ll go up singing, I’ve held out to the end.
Refrain

FILL MY WAY EVERY DAY WITH LOVE

FILL MY WAY EVERYDAY WITH LOVE

Let me walk, blessed Lord, in the way Thou hast gone,
Leading straight to the land above;
Giving cheer everywhere to the sad and the lone,
Fill my way every day with love.

REFRAIN:
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heav'nly Dove;
Let me go all the while with a song and a smile,
Fill my way every day with love.

Keep me close to the side of my Saviour and guide,
Let me never in darkness rove;
Keep my path free from wrath and my soul satisfied,
Fill my way every day with love.

REFRAIN:
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heav'nly Dove;
Let me go all the while with a song and a smile,
Fill my way every day with love.

Soon this race will be o'er and I'll travel no more,
But abide in my home above;
Let me sing, blessed King, all the way to that shore,
Fill my way every day with love.

REFRAIN:
Fill my way every day with love,
As I walk with the heav'nly Dove;
Let me go all the while with a song and a smile,
Fill my way every day with love.

THE OLD RUGGED CROSS

  1. The Old Rugged Cross

  2. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    The emblem of suff’ring and shame;
    And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
    For a world of lost sinners was slain.
    • Refrain:
      So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
      Till my trophies at last I lay down;
      I will cling to the old rugged cross,
      And exchange it some day for a crown.
  3. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
    Has a wondrous attraction for me;
    For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
    To bear it to dark Calvary.
  4. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
    A wondrous beauty I see,
    For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
    To pardon and sanctify me.
  5. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
    Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
    Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
    Where His glory forever I’ll share.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN

Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die
I long for the day that I'll have a new birth 'stead of grievin' here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.
Once upon a time there was a man his name was Heas-i-kie
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't want to die
He cried Oh Lord, please let me live, oh, mend these broken bones
God smiled down on Heasikie and gave him fifteen years to go.
When Jesus walked upon this earth he knew his father's friends
He knew that he must give his life to save the soul of man
When Judas had betrayed him his father heard his cry
He was brave enough unto his death but he didn't want to die.

WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER


When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder
                          

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. 


(chorus)
When the roll is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.


(chorus)

Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.


(chorus)

IT WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH


It Wouldn't Be Enough

If I had all the riches this world has to give
All the comfort that it brings
Never needing anything
I could search the whole earth over far and wide
Trying to buy that precious love
That was sent from God above

And it wouldn't be enough
No it wouldn't be enough
To buy one splinter of the tree that Jesus died on
And I couldn't pay the price
For one single drop of blood
That was shed for my salvation

If I had all the riches this world has to give
And I gave it all away
Every penny to my name
To some beggar on life’s dark and lonely street
All this kindness found in me
Could not win eternity

And it wouldn't be enough
No it wouldn't be enough
To buy one splinter of the tree Jesus died on
No I couldn't pay the price
For one single drop of blood
That was shed for my salvation

Nothing I can do
No there’s nothing I could say
Couldn’t give enough
Nothing could repay

It wouldn't be enough
No it wouldn't be enough
To buy one splinter of the tree Jesus died on
And I couldn't pay the price
For one single drop of blood
That was shed for my salvation

Wouldn't be enough
No it wouldn't be enough
To buy one splinter of the tree Jesus died on
And I couldn't pay the price
For one single drop of blood
That was shed for my salvation
