HOW GREAT THOU ART

 

Christ by Jechoon Choi

How commendably patient Thou art

With the slow progress of

My proud heart;

How great Thy wisdom,

How great Thy mercy,

How great Thy love

That fills my joyful heart;

How very great Thou art!

AT CALVARY

 

Enduring in the Ways of Christ by LDS Bookstore

Today as I communed with Thee

You took me all the way to Calvary.

My heart stood still, the lessons came,

And taught me what in words I could not name.

I bow the knee and in thanks ascend to Thee

For all I learnt at Calvary.

RIVER OF MY TEARS

 

God of Wonders by Yongsung Kim

You seemed so far away,

My hope of rescue grew into fears,

Oh how my heart rejoiced

When I found You

 in the river of my tears!

ETERNAL JOY

 

He Lifts Me Up by Danny Hahlbohm 

When my days on earth are done

I’ll be lifted above the world below

And I will seek the gilded gate

To welcome me to my eternal home.

 

I will approach the foot of Father’s throne,

I will kneel and I will weep

When in hope I give Him joy

For eternity to keep.

BRINGING THEM HOME

 

The Lord Is My Shepherd by LDS Bookstore

See Father,

I brought home the sheep!

I did all that I could

To save them in my keep.

 

They come to You Father

In whose arms they belong,

They come to You,

Whom they loved all along.

- CATHRYNE ALLEN 

WILLING TO GIVE

 

All that is unspoken

And all that is unseen

All that I feel

In the depths of my soul

I long to give to Thee.

 

And all that You ask of me

And all that I am

I will place

On the altar of sacrifice

for Thee.

 

I give You my all

Because a heart

Can give no more.

HE HEARS ME

 

Nearer to Thee by LDS Bookstore

He hears me when in the

Solitude of my darkest nights

On Him I call.

 

He hears me when in silence

My heart tries to hide

My fears that I might fall.

 

He hears me when in crowds

My mind wanders and doubts

Begin their insidious call.

 

He hears me whether

I cry to Him or not

Because He knows my very soul,

He knows it all.
