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

Surely His Goodness and Mercy Will Follow Me
The Lord is my Shepherd
My Protector, My Provider
He leads me
To rest by still waters
Lie down in green pastures
So gently
He restores my soul
My cup overflows
Surely His goodness
and mercy will follow me
Surely His goodness
and mercy will follow me
All of my days
All of my days
All of my days
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
Surely His goodness
and mercy will follow me
Surely His goodness
and mercy will follow me
All of my days
All of my days
All of my days
Through valleys
Up mountains
Where He leads me I will go

All of my days

I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
I will dwell in the house of the Lord

and mercy will follow me

and mercy will follow me
All of my days

Up mountains
Where He leads me I will go

All of my days
All of my days
What can I need when I know
He is leading me?
Who can I fear when I know
that He walks with me?
All of my days
All of my days
All of my days
Surely His Goodness and Mercy
Will Follow 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
For the Beauty

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
