SPRING TOUR 2023

Are You Weary

Are you weary, Are you languid

Are you found distressed?

“Come to Me” says One, “and, coming

Be at Rest”

 

Are you weary, Heavy laden?

Lay Your burden, Find His Rest

 

Has He marks to lead me to Him

If He be  my Guide?

In His feet and hands are wound prints

And His side

Is there diadem, as Monarch,

That His brow adorns?

Yes, a crown was placed upon Him

But of thorns

 

Are you weary, Heavy laden?

Lay Your burden, Find His Rest

 

If I find Him, if I follow 

What have I to gain?

Many sorrows, many labors 

Many pains 

If I still hold closely to Him

What has He at last?

Sorrow vanquished, labor ended

Jordan passed

 

Are you weary, Heavy laden?

Lay Your burden, Find His Rest

 

Finding, following, keeping, struggling

Is He sure to bless?

Saints, Apostles, Prophets, Martyrs

Answer, Yes! 

Are You Weary

Approach My Soul

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat

where Jesus answers prayer;

there humbly fall before his feet,

for none can perish there.

Thy promise is my only plea;

with this I venture nigh:

thou callest burdened souls to thee,

and such, O Lord, am I.

 

O wondrous love! to bleed and die,

to bear the cross and shame,

that guilty sinners, such as I,

might plead thy gracious name!

 

Bowed down beneath a load of sin,

by Satan sorely pressed,

by war without and fears within,

I come to thee for rest.

Be thou my shield and hiding place,

that, sheltered near thy side,

I may my fierce accuser face,

and tell him thou hast died.

 

O wondrous love! to bleed and die,

to bear the cross and shame,

that guilty sinners, such as I,

might plead thy gracious name!

Approach My Soul

God Moves In Mysterious Ways

Deep in the unfathomable mines

Of never failing skill

He treasures up His bright design

And works His sovereign will

Ye fearful saints fresh courage take

The clouds you so much dread

They’re big with mercy and shall break

In blessings on

your head

 

God moves in mysterious ways

His wonders to perform

He plants His footprints in the waves

And He rides upon the storm

 

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense

But trust Him for His grace

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face

His purposes will ripen fast

Unfolding every hour

The bud may have a bitter taste

But sweet will be

The flow’r

 

God moves in mysterious ways

His wonders to perform

He plants His footprints in the waves

And He rides upon the storm

 

Blind unbelief is sure to err

And scan His work in vain

God is His own interpreter

And He will make it plain

He will make it plain

 

God moves in mysterious ways

His wonders to perform

He plants His footprints in the waves

And He rides upon the storm

God Moves in Mysterious Ways

Kenny & Claire Hilliard, William Cowper

Forgive Us Lord

Forgive us Lord for Jesus’ sake

All our sinful words and ways

All our wasted hours and days

Forgive us Lord

 

Every bitter thought and deed

Every act of jealousy

Every lust and selfish greed

Forgive us Lord

 

Have mercy Have mercy 

 

Forgive us Lord for Jesus’ sake

All our laziness and pride

All Your laws that we’ve defied

Forgive us Lord

 

Have mercy Have mercy

Have mercy Have mercy

 

Give us Lord for Jesus’ sake

Every needful gift of grace

Till we see Your holy face

Please give us Lord

 

Give every needful gift of grace

Till we see Your holy face

Forgive Us Lord

Between the Joys

Between the joys

And clouds of doubt

My feelings come and go

My best estate is tossed about

In ceaseless ebb & flow

No mood or feeling, form of thought

Is constant for a day

But You O Lord 

You never change

You are the same always

 

Always 

Always

You stay the same 

Always

I grasp Your strength make it my own

My heart with peace is blest

I loose my hold and then comes down

Darkness and cold unrest

Let me no more my comfort draw

From my frail hold of you

In this alone rejoice and awe

Your mighty grasp of me

Always 

Always

You stay the same 

Always

 

Your purpose of eternal good

Let me but surely know

On this I’ll lean let changing mood

And feeling come or go

Glad in your sunshine not alone 

When clouds are overcast

Since You within your sure control 

Of love do hold me fast                  

Oh You within your sure control 

Of love do hold me fast

Always 

Always

You stay the same 

Always

Between the Joys

O The Deep Deep Love of Jesus

O the deep, deep love of Jesus!’

Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free,

rolling as a mighty ocean

in its fullness over me.

Underneath me, all around me,

is the current of thy love;

leading onward, leading homeward,

to thy glorious rest above.

 

O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

Spread his praise from shore to shore;

how he loveth, ever loveth,

changeth never, nevermore;

how he watches o'er his loved ones,

died to call them all his own;

how for them he intercedeth,

watcheth o'er them from the throne.

 

O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

Love of ev'ry love the best:

'tis an ocean vast of blessing,

'tis a haven sweet of rest.

O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me;

and it lifts me up to glory,

for it lifts me up to thee.

O The Deep Deep Love of Jesus

To rest by still waters

Lie down in green pastures

and mercy will follow me

Through valleys

Up mountains

Where He leads me I will go

Even through death's shadow

Lord, help me follow

All of my days

All of my days

All of my days

 

My Shepherd stays with me

With His Word He consoles me

So sweetly

He guides me in goodness

In paths of righteousness

For His glory

He shelters me

From my enemies

and mercy will follow me

He is leading me?

Who can I fear when I know

that He walks with me?

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
mount of Thy redeeming love.

 

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I've come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.

 

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee:
prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

 

prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

 

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

In Christ Alone

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.


 

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.

 

In Christ Alone

Am I a Soldier of the Cross

Am I soldier of the cross?

A follower of the Lamb?

And shall I fear to own His cause

Or blush to speak His Name?

 

Must I be caried to the skies

On flowery beds of ease

While others fought to win the prize

And sailed through bloody seas?

 

Sure I must fight if I would reign

Increase my courage Lord

I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain

Supported by Your Word

I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain

Supported by Your Word

 

Am I a solider of the cross?

A follower of the Lamb?

And shall I fear to own His cause

Or blush to speak his name?

 

Am I a Soldier of the Cross

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou My Vision

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art

Thou my best thought, by day or by night

Waking or sleeping, Thy Presence my Light

 

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my True Word

I ever with thee and Thou with me, Lord

Thou my Great Father, and I Thy true son

Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one

 

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise

Thou mine inheritance, now and always

Thou and thou only first in my heart

High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art

 

High King of heaven, my victory won

May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall

Still be my vision, O Ruler of All

 

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall

Still be my vision, O Ruler of All

 

Be Thou My Vision

For the Beauty

For the beauty of the earth

For the beauty of the skies

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies       

For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night                                 

Hill and vale, and tree and flower           

Sun and moon and stars of light

Lord of all to Thee we raise  

our hymn of praise

For the joy of ear and eye                                 

For the heart and mind’s delight

For the mystic harmony

Linking sense to sound and sight

Lord of all to Thee we raise  

our hymn of praise

For each perfect gift of Thine

To the world so freely given

Graces human and divine

Flow’rs of earth and buds of heaven 

For each perfect gift of Thine

To the world so freely given

Graces human and divine

Flow’rs of earth and buds of heaven 

Lord of all to Thee we raise  

our hymn of praise

our hymn of praise

our hymn of praise

our hymn of praise

Our hymn of praise

(for the beauty of the earth)

Our hymn of praise

(for the beauty of the skies)

Our hymn of praise

(For the love which from our birth)

Our hymn of praise

(Over and around us lies)

Lord of all to Thee we raise  

our hymn of praise

O For a Faith

O for a faith that will not shrink

Though pressed by many foes

That will not tremble on the brink

Of poverty or woe,

That will not murmur nor complain

Beneath the chastening rod,

But, in the hour of grief or pain,

Can lean upon its God

 

A Faith that shines more bright and clear

When tempest rage without,

That when in danger knows no fear,

In darkness feels no doubt;

A faith that keeps the narrow way

Till life’s last spark is fled,

And with a pure and heavenly ray

Lights up a dying bed!

 

Lord, give me such a faith as this,

And then whatev’er may come,

I taste even now the hallowed bliss

Of my eternal home.

 

I taste even now the hallowed bliss

Of my eternal home.

 

O For a Faith

Is There Peace

Is there peace in this dark world of sin?

The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.

Is there peace with many duties pressed?

To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.

It is enough, Earth’s struggles soon shall cease

Jesus calls us to Heaven’s perfect peace. 

Is there peace with sorrows surging round?

In Jesus’ embrace only calm is found.

Is there peace with loved ones far away?

In Jesus’ keeping we are safe.

 

It is enough, Earth’s struggles soon shall cease

Jesus calls us to Heaven’s perfect peace.

 

It is enough, Earth’s struggles soon shall cease

Jesus calls us to Heaven’s perfect peace.

 

Peace, Perfect Peace 

 

Is there peace with the future all unknown?

Jesus we know and He is on the throne.

Is there peace with death shadowing us and ours?

Jesus has vanquished death and all its power.

 

It is enough, Earth’s struggles soon shall cease

Jesus calls us to Heaven’s perfect peace.

 

It is enough, Earth’s struggles soon shall cease

Jesus calls us to Heaven’s perfect peace.

 

Heaven’s perfect peace.

Heaven’s perfect peace.

Heaven’s perfect peace.

 

Is There Peace
