Jesus Loves Me

A favourite one for the kids!

Key: C

Jesus loves me this I know,
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong,
They are weak, but He is strong

Chorus
Yes Jesus loves me,
Yes Jesus loves me,
Yes Jesus loves me,
For the Bible tells me so

Jesus loves me, He who died
Heaven's gates to open wide
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in

(Chorus)

Jesus loves me when I'm good,
When I do the things I should.
Jesus loves me when I'm bad,
Even though it makes him sad

(Chorus)

Something Beautiful

A song from Mother Teresa's song book!
Key: G

1. Come with me into a world of poverty
Into a land where men are dying endlessly
Into a world of inhumanity
Can't you see they're starving where's your charity
They laugh and cry they're people just like you and me
They need help and not just sympathy

Chorus:
Show each one something beautiful for God above
Something beautiful to show your love
Something beautiful for God above
Something beautiful to show your love

2. A day goes by the night is long for everyone
A child is crying perhaps he'll live to see the sun
And yet he knows the morning may not come
Throughout the world our brothers live in poverty
They're everywhere if only we have eyes to see
So look around and find your sanity

3. Show to men the love that He has shown to you
and feed His lambs as He has fed each one of you
He loves them as much as He loves you

#446 We Remember

Listen to the hymn here

Ref: We remember how you loved us to your death
and still we celebrate, for you are with us here;
And we believe that we will see you when you come,
in your glory, Lord, we remember, we celebrate,
we believe.

Vs. 1: Here, a million wounded souls are
yearning just to touch you and be healed;
Gather all your people, and hold them to your heart.

Vs. 2: Now we recreate your love we
bring the bread and wine to share a meal;
Sign of grace and mercy, the presence of the Lord.

Vs. 3: Christ, the Father's great "Amen" to
all the hopes and dreams of every heart;
Peace beyond all telling, and freedom from all fear.

Vs. 4: See the face of Christ revealed in
ev'ry person standing by your side;
Gift to one another, and temples of your love.

#427 Be Not Afraid

Listen to the hymn here

1. You shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.

R.
Be not afraid.
I go before you always.
Come follow me, and
I will give you rest.

2. If you pass through raging waters in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell and death is at your side, know that
I am with you through it all.

3. Blessed are your poor, for the kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn, for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me, blessed, blessed are you!

Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

Listen here

1 Joyful, joyful, we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before You,
Op'ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

2 All Your works with joy surround You,
Earth and heav'n reflect Your rays,
Stars and angels sing around You,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!

3 Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.

4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

#404 In Christ Alone

In Him alone, we will all stand strong!

Listen here

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
