The Old Rugged Cross 
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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

In the 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. 

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.

Pass Me Not Oh Gentle Savior 
Pass me not, O gentle Savior, 
hear my humble cry; 
while on others thou art calling, 
do not pass me by. 

Savior, Savior, 
hear my humble cry; 
while on others thou art calling, 
do not pass me by. 

Let me at thy throne of mercy 
find a sweet relief; 
kneeling there in deep contrition, 
help my unbelief. 

Savior, Savior, 
hear my humble cry; 
while on others thou art calling, 
do not pass me by. 

Trusting only in thy merit, 
would I seek thy face; 
heal my wounded, broken spirit, 
save me by thy grace. 

Savior, Savior, 
hear my humble cry; 
while on others thou art calling, 
do not pass me by. 

Thou the spring of all my comfort, 
more than life to me, 
whom have I on earth beside thee? Whom in heaven but thee? 

Savior, Savior, 
hear my humble cry; 
while on others thou art calling, 
do not pass me by.
 

Precious Lord Take My Hand  Precious Lord, take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand; 
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn. 
Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light. 
Take my hand, precious Lord; Lead me home. 

When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near, 
When my life is almost gone, 
Hear my cry, hear my call; Hold my hand lest I fall. 
Take my hand, precious Lord; Lead me home. 

When the darkness appears And the night draws near 
And the day is almost gone, 
At the river I stand; Guide my feet, hold my hand, 
Take my hand, precious Lord; Lead me home.

Amazing Grace  
Amazing grace, How sweet the sound  That saved a wretch like me.  I once was lost, but now I am found,  Was blind, but now I see.   

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,   
And grace my fears relieved.   
How precious did that grace appear   
The hour I first believed.   

Through many dangers, toils and snares   
I have already come,   
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far   
And grace will lead me home.   

The Lord has promised good to me   
His word my hope secures;   
He will my shield and portion be,   
As long as life endures.   

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,   
And mortal life shall cease   
I shall possess within the veil,   
A life of joy and peace.   

When we've been there ten thousand years   
Bright shining as the sun,   
We've no less days to sing God's praise   
Than when we've first begun.

Jesus Loves Me
Jesus loves me! This I know, 
For the Bible tells me so; 
Little ones to Him belong; 
They are weak, but He is strong. 

Yes, Jesus loves me! 
Yes, Jesus loves me! 
Yes, Jesus loves me! 
The Bible tells me so. 

Jesus loves me! This I know, 
As He loved so long ago, 
Taking children on His knee, 
Saying, “Let them come to Me.” 

Chorus 

Jesus loves me still today, 
Walking with me on my way, 
Wanting as a friend to give 
Light and love to all who live. 

Chorus 

Jesus loves me! He who died 
Heaven’s gate to open wide; 
He will wash away my sin, 
Let His little child come in. 

Chorus 

Jesus loves me! He will stay 
Close beside me all the way; 
Thou hast bled and died for me, 
I will henceforth live for Thee.

In The Garden 
I come to the garden alone 
While the dew is still on the roses 
And the voice I hear 
Falling on my ear 
The song of God discloses 

And He walks with me 
And He talks with me 
And He tells me I am his own 
And the joy we share 
As we tarry there 
None other has ever known 

He speaks and the sound 
Of His voice 
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing 
And the melody 
That He gave to me 
Within my heart is ringing 

And He walks with me 
And He talks with me 
And He tells me I am his own 
And the joy we share 
As we tarry there 
None other has ever known 

And the joy we share 
As we tarry there 
None other has ever known
 

His Eye Is On the Sparrow Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come?  Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home? 

When Jesus is my portion, my constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. 

I sing because I’m happy, 
I sing because I’m free, 
For His eye is on the sparrow, 
And I know He watches me. 

"Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,  And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; 

Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. 

I sing because I’m happy, 
I sing because I’m free, 
For His eye is on the sparrow, 
And I know He watches me. 

Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies, 

I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. 

I sing because I’m happy, 
I sing because I’m free, 
For His eye is on the sparrow, 
And I know He watches me.

Up From The Grave He Arose 
Low in the grave He lay, 
Jesus, my Savior, 
Waiting the coming day, 
Jesus, my Lord! 

Refrain: 
Up from the grave He arose, 
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes, 
He arose a Victor from the dark domain, 
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign. 
He arose! He arose! 
Hallelujah! Christ arose! 

Vainly they watch His bed, 
Jesus, my Savior; 
Vainly they seal the dead, 
Jesus, my Lord! 

Refrain 

Death cannot keep his Prey, 
Jesus, my Savior; 
He tore the bars away, 
Jesus, my Lord! 

Up from the grave He arose, 
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes, 
He arose a Victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever, with His saints to reign. 
He arose! He arose! 
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
 

Because He Lives
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus 
He came to love, heal and forgive 
He lived and died to buy my pardon 
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. 

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow 
Because He lives, all fear is gone 
Because I know He holds the future 
And life is worth the living 
Just because He lives. 

How sweet to hold a newborn baby 
And feel the pride and the joy he gives 
But greater still the calm assurance 
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives. 

And then one day, I’ll cross that river 
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain 
And then, as death gives way to vict’ry 
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns. 

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow 
Because He lives, all fear is gone 
Because I know He holds the future 
And life is worth the living 
Just because He lives 

Because he lives 
Because he lives
