Satisfied In the Crucified




It is a deep and wonderful thing
To lay hold of the God
Who makes the heart sing
To lay hold of the way, the truth, and life
That lays hold of you as an offering.

It is a deep and wonderful thing
To apprehend life
In the cleansing dayspring
Flowing forth from the giving, living stone
To quench One thirst a fresh thirst to bring

Chor
To the cup of salvation  we are led
On the bread of heaven we are fed
I am satisfied in the crucified
To taste the beauty of the cross
The yes and amen are never lost.
And Endless ages lie ahead
And Endless ages lie ahead

It is a deep and wonderful thing
To take up a cross
And then follow the King
For his yoke is easy and burden light
He will lift up his child on eagles wings.

Chor
To the cup of salvation  we are led
On the bread of heaven we are fed
I am satisfied in the crucified
To taste the beauty of the cross
The yes and amen are never lost.
And Endless ages lie ahead
And Endless ages lie ahead

How Much I Owe




When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glaring sun;
When I stand with Christ in glory,
Looking o’er life’s finished story,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know—
not till then, how much I owe.

Every ounce of faith, he has given
Every moment granted is a grace
Every failure he has now forgiven
Every hope to which I set my face
Every good work that has found His favor
All I am and ever hope to be
I will only boast in Christ my savior
For it is not I but Christ in me

When I stand before the throne,
Dressed in beauty not my own;
When I see Thee as Thou art,
Love Thee with un-sinning heart;
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
not till then, how much I owe.

All to Christ I owe, all to Christ I owe
Whatever I do and wherever I go
All to Christ All to Him I owe

Every ounce of faith, he has given
Every moment granted is a grace
Every failure he has now forgiven
Every hope to which I set my face
Every good work that has found His favor
All I am and ever hope to be
I will only boast in Christ my savior
For it is not I but Christ in me

Jesus My Redeemer






Oh Jesus my redeemer
There is no other name that saves
Oh Jesus my redeemer
There is none other who overcomes the grave
So I will cling to Jesus my redeemer
I will cling and know he holds me fast
I ‘ll enjoy his embrace
Till we meet face to face
When I stand before His throne at last.

Oh Jesus my redeemer
You are the one who bought  and freed this slave
Oh Jesus my redeemer
You are the Lord of this new life you gave
So I will trust in Jesus my redeemer
I will boast in Him, and Him alone
I will cast my crowns and cares
At his feet and leave them there
Then I’ll know as surely as I’m known.

He is my priest and intercessor
He is my advocate on high
So I will trust my only hope and savior
And if I live for him I’ll never die.

Oh Jesus my redeemer
You paid the cost  that set us free from sin
Oh Jesus my redeemer
When we were lost  you sought and drew us in.
So I will worship Jesus  my redeemer
And his worth forever I’ll proclaim
Bought by His sacrifice
Now his grace shall suffice
To the praise and glory of His name.
