A Wall of Prayer (and other songs/hymns)

A Wall of Prayer

There are walls made by man, built by human hands
that an enemy can scale and get to you.
But there is one protecting me from my greatest enemy.
It's a wall that satan can't break through.

Chorus:

Sometimes a wall of grace, sometimes a wall of faith,
Other times it's sweet mercy that I need.
But the one for which I long it makes all the others strong.
I need a wall of prayer surrounding me.

II

Oh my brother when I'm weak would you stand instead for me
and pray a fortress 'round me strong that can't be moved.

And I promise You today when I bow my knees to pray
I'll do my best to build a wall of prayer for you. 

Ending:

Ending Sweet hour of prayer sweet hour of prayer 
that calls me from a world of care. 
But the one for which I long it makes all the others strong.
I need a wall of prayer surrounding me.

I need a wall of prayer surrounding me.

Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone

~Thomas Shepherd~


Must Jesus bear the Cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone
And there's a cross for me.

How happy are the saints above
Who once went sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love
And joy without a tear.

The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free
And then go home my crown to wear
For there's a crown for me.

Upon the crystal pavement down
At Jesus' pierced feet
Joyful I'll cast my golden crown
And His dear Name repeat.

O precious cross! O glorious crown!
O resurrection day!
When Christ the Lord from Heav'n comes down
And bears my soul away.

Would You Live for Jesus?

~Cyrus S. Nusbaum~

Would you live for Jesus, and be always pure and good?
Would you walk with Him within the narrow road?
Would you have Him bear your burden, carry all your load?
Let Him have His way with thee.

Would you have Him make you free, and follow at His call?
Would you know the peace that comes by giving all?
Would you have Him save you, so that you can never fall?
Let Him have His way with thee.

Would you in His kingdom find a place of constant rest?
Would you prove Him true in providential test?
Would you in His service labor always at your best?
Let Him have His way with thee.

His power can make you what you ought to be;
His blood can cleanse your heart and make you free;
His love can fill your soul, and you will see
'Twas best for Him to have His way with thee.

Oil and Wine

~Gerhard Tersteegen~

There is a balm for every pain,
A medicine for all sorrow;
The eye turned backward to the Cross,
And forward to the morrow.
The morrow of the glory and the psalm,
When He shall come;
The morrow of the harping and the psalm,
The welcome home.
Meantime in His beloved hands our ways,
And on His Heart the wandering heart at rest;
And comfort for the weary one who lays
His head upon His breast.
