The Violent
The Violent Yes, the Savior’s yoke is easy,And His grace is free to all,But the careless don’t embrace it,When they hear the gospel call. Though the will of man can’t birth it;Cannot choose the kingdom’s course,Yet the violent—Scripture tells us—Take it to themselves by force. If you’re asking, seeking, knocking,Eager to be freed from sin,Christ, […]
Not Ready to Die
Not Ready to Die The flower of youth though but recently fled,The sentence of death has been passed on my head.My heart is unwilling, my conscience can’t rest,My life’s not in order, by fears I’m oppressed,’Cause I am not ready,Not ready to die. I know in my head that the answer is Christ,That I can […]

Do You Believe in My Savior? Oh, do you believe in my Savior?You honor the day of His birth, Oh, do you believe in my Savior?You honor th day of His birth,But have you received His forgiveness,And seen Him for what He is worth? He came as a babe in a manger,And humbly He dwelt […]
The Narrow Way
The Narrow Way The way indeed is narrow;The entrance to it strait. The way indeed is narrow;The entrance to it strait.Don’t think with wicked baggageTo enter at the gate.The heart of Christ our SaviorIs big enough for all,But He reserves the pathwayFor those who heed His call. His call is self-denial;Repentance is His cry.Before the […]

Ressurection Song Oh, do you believe in my Savior?The One who arose fromt he grave? Oh, do you believe in my Savior?The One who arose from the grave?You’ve heard of the man they call Jesus.Do you walk in His power to save? You’re on the broad road to destruction,Deserving His judgement and wrath,Until you embrace […]
Only One
Only One There’s only one shelter and only one rest,There’s only one place I can go when oppressed.

There’s only one refuge, […]

He’ll Never Leave Me
He’ll Never Leave Me Forsaken of God was his well-beloved Son,Condemned for my sin was the only pure One. Forsaken of God was his well-beloved Son,Condemned for my sin was the only pure One.He suffered alone, died alone on the tree,Love’s eternal object rejected for me. The pain and the anguish I hardly conceive,Affliction so […]
The Bonds are Broken
The Bonds are Broken The law of sin and death may reign,Increasing misery and pain, The law of sin and death may reign,Increasing misery and pain,Where blinded men its bonds embrace,But God be praised who offers grace,And frees me from sin’s bitter claw,By issuing a better lawThe law of life and liberty;The law of Christ […]
Death and Life
Death and Life The Father’s love is far too greatTo be to heaven confined.The love He gave a worthy SonExtends to humankind. No man deserves a share in thatWhich God bestows in grace,And pours with all the wealth He ownsOn our rebellious race. My God, could any yearning soulBe turned away by Thee?And could thy […]
