Come Ye Sinners
03:36
|
|||
Verse 1:
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power
Verse 2:
Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.
Chorus:
I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.
Verse 3:
Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.
Verse 4:
Lo! th’incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.

What Wondrous Love
04:45
|
|||
Verse 1:
What wondrous love is this
O my soul, O my soul
What wondrous love is this, O my soul
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul
Verse 2:
When I was sinking down
sinking down, sinking down
When I was sinking down, sinking down
When I was sinking down
beneath God’s righteous frown
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul
Chorus:
What wondrous love is this
What wondrous love is this
Verse 3:
To God and to the Lamb
I will sing, I will sing
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great “I Am”
While millions join the theme I will sing
While millions join the theme, I will sing
Verse 4:
And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on
And when from death I’m free I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free
I’ll sing and joyful be;
And through eternity, I’ll sing on
And through eternity, I’ll sing on

Jesus, Lamb of God
04:17
|
|||
Verse 1:
You spread out your arms, hung on a tree
Became a curse, broken and beat
Your body was nailed, covered in wounds
You drank the cup up the wrath I was due
You drank the cup up the wrath I was due
Verse 2:
Silently meek, you faced the lies
I spit in your face, I watched you die
Tell the judge, the guilty goes free
They nailed an innocent man to the tree
They nailed an innocent man to the tree
Chorus:
Jesus, lamb of God
Slain, betrayed, broken for us
Traded your life, justice is paid
You’ve broken the bonds of the grave
Verse 3:
I stood with guilt, your blood on my hands
You took my place, the weight of my sin
How could you love an offender like me
I murdered you God, and you set me free
I murdered you God, and you set me free

There is a Fountain
05:44
|

Verse 1:
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Verse 2:
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there have I, though vile as he
Washed all my sins away
Washed all my sins away
Washed all my sins away
And there have I, though vile as he
Washed all my sins away
Chorus:
Oh, oh come, come to the fountain
Come and be satisfied
Come, all who are thirsty
These waters will never run dry
These waters will never run dry
Verse 3:
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
And shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die

Go to Dark Gethsemane
02:44
|
|||
Verse 1:
Go to dark Gethsemane,
ye that feel the tempter's power;
your Redeemer's conflict see,
watch with him one bitter hour;
turn not from his griefs away,
learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
Verse 2:
Follow to the judgment hall;
view the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and gall!
O the pangs his souls sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn of him to bear the cross.
Verse 3:
Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete;
"It is finished!" hear him cry;
learn of Jesus Christ to die.
