Christ: We Praise & Worship Him

This blog will contain more than poems and songs about Christ. I simply needed to post what I am posting for a while. We will offer sermons, articles, etc., in the future! God bless you all and I pray that all the posts will encourage you, bless you, and deepen your love of Christ, our redeemer,  Lord and Saviour!]

Softly and Tenderly

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me.
See, on the portals,
He's waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.

Why should we tarry
When Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger
And heed not His mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?

Time is now fleeting;
The moments are passing,
Passing from you and from me.
Shadows are gathering;
Death's night is coming,
Coming for you and for me.

Oh for the wonderful
Love He has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned,
He has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.

Come home, come home.
Ye who are weary, come home.
Earnestly, tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling, "O sinner, come home!"

I'll Live for Him

My life, my love I give to Thee,
Thou Lamb of God Who died for me;
O may I ever faithful be,
My Saviour and my God!

I now believe Thou dost receive,
For Thou hast died that I might live;
And now henceforth I trust in Thee,
My Saviour and my God!

O Thou Who died on Calvary,
To save my soul and make me free,
I'll consecrate my life to Thee,
My Saviour and my God!

I'll live for Him Who died for me,
How happy then my life shall be!
I'll live for Him Who died for me,
My Saviour and my God!

Yield Not to Temptation

Yield not to temptation, for yielding insin;
Each vict'ry will help you some other to win;
Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,
God's name hold in rev'rence, nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest, kindhearted and true;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

To him that o'ercometh, God giveth a crown,
Through faith we will conquer,
though often cast down;
He who is our Saviour, our strength will renew;
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Ask the Saviour to help you,
Comfort,strengthen, and keep you;
He is willing to aid you,
He will carry you through.
