Until Then - Stuart Hamblin

1 John 3:3 "And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure."

My heart can sing when I pause to remember
A heartache here is but a stepping stone
Along a trail that's winding always upward,
This troubled world is not my final home.
********************************
Chorus
But until then my heart will go on singing,
Until then with joy I'll carry on,
Until the day my eyes behold the city,
Until the day God calls me home.
********************************
The things of earth will dim and lose their value
If we recall they're borrowed for awhile;
And things of earth that cause the heart to tremble,
Remembered there will only bring a smile.
********************************
Chorus
********************************
This weary world with all its toil and struggle
May take its toll of misery and strife;
The soul of man is like a waiting falcon;
When it's released, it's destined for the skies.
********************************
Chorus

Untitled Hymn - Chris Rice

Weak and wounded sinner

Lost and left to die

O, raise your head, for love is passing by

Come to Jesus

Come to Jesus

Come to Jesus and live!

*****************************************
Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so

Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
*****************************************
And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall
...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
*****************************************
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then

Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
*****************************************
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then

Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
*****************************************
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and

Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
(Repeat)

Victory in Jesus

I Corinthians 15:17 "But thanks be to God which giveth us,the victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ."

I heard an old, old story,
How a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary,
To save a wretch like me.
I heard about His groaning,
Of His precious blood atoning,
Then I repented of my sins,
And won the victory!
******************************
Chorus:
Victory in Jesus,
My savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me
with His redeeming blood
He loved me ere I knew Him
And all my love is due Him
He plunged me to victory
Beneath the cleansing flood.
******************************
I heard about His healing
Of His cleansing pow'r revealing,
How He made the lame to walk again,
And caused the blind to see.
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus
Come and heal my broken spirit."
And somehow Jesus came and bro't
To me the victory
******************************
Chorus:
******************************
I heard about a mansion
He has built for me in glory
And I heard about the streets of gold
Beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing,
And the old redemption story
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
The song of victory.
******************************
Chorus:

(I always ask the congregation to sing it with me, and usually do it about three times, depending...)
