I am Thine, O Lord (Draw Me Nearer)

I Am Thine O Lord, Isaac ben Ayala Piano
I Am Thine O Lord, NRUMC Praise Team 4-2023


I Am Thine O Lord

1. I am thine, O Lord, I have heard thy voice, and it told thy love to me; but I long to rise in the arms of faith and be closer drawn to thee.

Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to the cross where thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord, to thy precious, bleeding side.

2. Consecrate me now to thy service, Lord, by the power of grace divine; let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will be lost in thine. Refrain

3. O the pure delight of a single hour that before thy throne I spend, when I kneel in prayer, and with thee, my God, I commune as friend with friend! Refrain

4. There are depths of love that I cannot know till I cross the narrow sea;there are heights of joy that I may not reach till I rest in peace with thee. Refrain

Wonderful Words of Life

Wonderful Words – NRUMC Praise Team
Wonderful Words – Isaac ben Ayala

1 Sing them over again to me, wonderful words of life; let me more of their beauty see, wonderful words of life; words of life and beauty teach me faith and duty.
Refrain:
Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life. (x2)
2 Christ, the blessed one, gives to all wonderful words of life; sinner, list to the loving call, wonderful words of life; all so freely given, wooing us to heaven. (Refrain)
3 Sweetly echo the gospel call, wonderful words of life; offer pardon and peace to all, wonderful words of life; Jesus, only Savior, sanctify forever. (Refrain)

Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross; there a precious fountain, free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvary’s mountain. 
Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

2. Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; there the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me. (Refrain) 
3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; help me walk from day to day with its shadow o’er me. (Refrain) 
4. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever, till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river. (Refrain)

Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross NRUMC Praise Team 2024

Rejoice Ye Pure In Heart

1 Rejoice, ye pure in heart, rejoice, give thanks and sing your glorious banner wave on high the cross of Christ your King!
[Refrain]
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice give thanks and sing.

2 Bright youth and snow-crowned age, strong men and maidens meek, raise high your free, exulting song, G-d’s wondrous praises speak. [Refrain]
3 Yes, on through life’s long path, still chanting as ye go from youth to age, by night and day, in gladness and in woe. [Refrain]
4 At last the March shall end. The weary ones shall rest; the pilgrims finds their heavily home Jerusalem, the blest. [Refrain]
5 praise God, who reigns on high, the Lord, whom we adore. The father, son, Holy Ghost, One God forevermore. [Refrain]

Tell Me The Stories of Jesus

1. Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; things I would ask him to tell me if he were here: scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, stories of Jesus, tell them to me. 
2. First let me hear how the children stood round his knee, and I shall fancy his blessing resting on me; words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, all in the lovelight of Jesus’ face. 3. Into the city I’d follow the children’s band, waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand; one of his heralds, yes, I would sing loudest hosannas, “Jesus is King!”

Your grace and mercy brought me through I’m living this moment because of You
I want to thank You and praise You too Your grace and mercy brought me through

1 Thank You for saving a sinner like me to tell the world salvation is free. There were times when I just didn’t do right but You watched over me all day and night. Refrain
2 Justice demanded that I should die but grace and mercy said We’ve already paid the price. I once was blind but thank God I can see. It was because grace and mercy came along and rescued me. Refrain
