Anywhere with Jesus

I'll go anywhere, my Savior,
If Thou wilt make it clear,
I will tell salvation's story
To lost ones far and near.

Anywhere, my Savior,
Anywhere with Thee,
Anywhere and everywhere,
As Thou leadest me.

~John R. Clements

Grace Alone

Not saved are we by trying,
from self can come no aid;
'Tis on the blood relying,
once for our ransom paid.

'Tis looking unto Jesus,
the Holy One and Just;
'This His grace that saves-
it is not "try" but "trust!"
~Anonymous

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah;
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.

~William Williams

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.

Jesus, my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
Amen.

~ John Newton

I Would Be True

I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care,
I would be stong, for there is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.

I would be friend to all-the foe, the friendless,
I would be giving, and forget the gift.
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift.

I would be prayerful, through each busy moment,
I would be constantly in touch with God.
I would be tuned to hear His slightest whisper;
I would have faith to keep the path Christ trod.
