Depth of Mercy
03:25
|
|||
Depth of mercy, can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
I have long withstood His grace,
Long provoked Him to His face;
Would not hearken to His calls:
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.
Chorus:
Depth of mercy, can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Bow Your ear, in mercy bow;
Pardon and accept me now.
There for me the Savior stands,
Shows His wounds and spreads His hands;
God is love, I know, I feel,
Jesus pleads, and loves me still.
Why to me this waste of love?
Ask my Advocate above.
See the cause in Jesus’ face,
Now before the throne of grace.
If I rightly read Your heart,
If You all compassion art,
Bow Your ear, in mercy bow;
Pardon and accept me now.
Now incline me to repent;
Let me now my fall lament:
Now my foul revolt deplore;
Weep, believe, and sin no more.

By Grace Alone
03:28
|
|||
Out of the depths I cry to You,
Lord, hear my voice of pleading;
Bend down Your gracious ear, I pray,
Your humble servant heeding.
If You remember each misdeed,
And of each thought and word take heed,
Who can remain before You?
Only by grace, by grace alone.
Your pardon is a gift of love,
Your grace alone must save us,
Our works will not remove our guilt,
The strictest life would fail us.
Let none in deeds or merits boast,
But let us own the Holy Ghost
for He alone can change us:
Only by grace, by grace alone.
Though great our sins and sore our woes
His grace much more aboundeth;
His helping love no limit knows,
Our utmost need it soundeth.
Our kind and faithful Shepherd He,
Who will set all His people free
From all their sin and sorrow:
Only by grace, by grace alone.

God of Mercy
04:05
|
|||
To You I come, a sinner poor,
And wait for mercy at Your door;
For, Lord, I’ve nowhere else to flee;
O God, be merciful to me!
Chorus:
God of mercy, hear my cry,
I have nowhere else to fly.
All my hope is in Jesus;
God of mercy, in You I trust.
To You I come, a sinner weak,
Scarce knowing how to pray or speak;
From fear and weakness set me free:
O God, be merciful to me!
To You I come, a sinner vile,
Upon me, Lord, be pleased to smile.
Mercy alone I make my plea:
O God, be merciful to me!
To You I come, a sinner lost,
Having no worth in which to trust;
But where You are, Lord, let me be:
O God, be merciful to me!

I Lay My Sins on Jesus
04:33
|
|||
I lay my sins on Jesus,
the spotless Lamb who died;
He bears them all and frees me
from all my shame and pride.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
to wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious
’till not a spot remains.
Chorus:
I lay my sins on Jesus,
He’s waiting now with open arms.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
For He is willing, able,
Ready to forgive.
I lay my wants on Jesus,
my advocate above;
He heals my broken body,
redeems my soul in love.
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
my burdens and my cares;
He takes them all upon Him
and in my sorrow shares.
I rest my soul on Jesus,
this weary, thirsty soul;
His gentle arms embrace me
and point me towards the goal.
I put my hope in Jesus
to bring me safely home,
To sing with heaven’s millions,
my praise to Him alone.

I Need You
04:24
|
|||
I need You, precious Jesus! For I am full of sin;
My soul is dark and guilty, my heart is dead within;
I need the cleansing fountain, where I can always flee,
The blood of Christ most precious, the sinner’s perfect plea.
Chorus:
O, I need You, how I need You.
I’ll never know the depths to which
I need You.
I need You, blessed Jesus! For I am very poor;
A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store;
I need the love of Jesus to cheer me on my way,
To guide my doubting footsteps, to be my strength each day.
I need You, tender Jesus! I need a friend like You;
A friend to soothe my sorrows, to pour my heart out to.
I need the heart of Jesus to feel each anxious care,
To tell my ev’ry want to, and all my sorrows share.
I need You, glorious Jesus! And hope to see You soon,
In majesty and power, and seated on Your throne:
There, with Your blood-bought children, my joy will ever be,
To sing Your praise, Lord Jesus, with You eternally!

The Fountain of Grace
04:14
|
|||
The fountain of Christ, please help us to sing,
The blood of our Priest, our crucified King:
Which perfectly cleanses from guilt and from sin
And richly dispenses salvation within.
Chorus:
So come to the fountain of grace
Where guilt is uprooted and joy now abides in its place;
Where mercy and righteousness, gladness and peace
Pour out so richly – yet never to cease!
This is the fountain of grace.
This fountain, from guilt, not only makes pure
And gives, soon as felt, infallible cure:
But if guilt returns and it tries to remain,
Its pow’r will remove it without any stain.
This fountain, though rich, from cost is quite free,
The poorer the wretch will more welcome be.
Come needy, and guilty, with sin’s ugly scar;
You can’t come too filthy – come just as you are.

It's All of Grace
05:23
|
|||
Lord, we confess our many faults,
How great our guilt has been!
Our thoughts were vain and full of pride
And all our lives were sin.
But praise our God, forever praise,
Forever love His name,
Who turns our feet from dangerous ways
Of folly, sin, and shame.
He raised us from the depths of sin,
The gates of gaping hell,
And fixed our standing more secure
Than ’twas before we fell.
The arms of everlasting love
Beneath our souls He placed;
And on the Rock of Ages set
Our slippery footsteps fast.
Chorus:
It’s all of grace, by Your sov’reign hand,
Through His death which long before was planned
That we can come before Your throne
And in Your presence stand,
It’s all of Grace.
It’s not by works of righteousness
Which our own hands have done;
But we are saved by sovereign grace
Abounding through His son.
It’s from the mercy of our God
That all our hopes begin;
It’s by the water and the blood
Our souls are washed from sin.
It’s through the purchase of His death
Who hung upon the cross
The Spirit is sent down to breathe
On such dry bones as us.
Raised from the dead, we live anew;
And, justified by grace
We will appear in glory too,
And see our Father’s face.

Ever to Obey You
03:28
|
|||
Jesus, Lord, our strength and Savior,
All our praise and love we bring,
And, in mighty grace rejoicing,
Glorious hymns of worship sing.
Chorus:
Help us ever to obey You,
Gladly walking in Your ways,
How we need Your strength to run the race,
Grant us victories, sweet victories,
Glorious victories of grace.
Jesus, You have surely saved us,
And from sin’s dark bondage freed;
Opening our mouths with longing,
Bless and meet our every need.
To our hungering souls, the finest
Of the wheat of life supply;
Light and grace and peace providing
Which will more than satisfy.

I Adore You
04:03
|
|||
Jesus my Lord, my God, my All,
Hear me, my Savior, when I call;
Hear me, and from Your dwelling place
Pour down the riches of Your grace.
Jesus, ’twas You too late I sought;
How can I love You as I ought?
And how extol Your matchless fame,
The glorious beauty of Your name?
Chorus:
Jesus, my Lord, I adore You;
O make me love You more and more.
Jesus, my Lord, Jesus, my love,
I adore You.
Jesus, what did You find in me
That you have dealt so lovingly?
How great the joy that You have brought,
So far exceeding hope or thought.
Jesus, to You I raise my song;
To You my heart and soul belong,
All that I have or am is Yours
And You, my Savior, I adore.

Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;
To His feet your tribute bring!
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me, His praise should sing?
Oh Praise Him! (Praise Him!)

Praise the everlasting King!
Oh Praise Him! (Praise Him!)

Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress!

Glorious is His faithfulness!
Oh Praise Him! (Praise Him!)

Father-like He tends and spares us,
Well our feebleness He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Oh Praise Him! (Praise Him!)
Praise Him! (Praise Him!)
Widely as His mercy flows!
Oh Praise Him! (Praise Him!)
Praise Him! (Praise Him!)

Dwellers all in time and space.

Praise with us the God of grace!
Oh Praise Him! (Praise Him!)
Praise Him! (Praise Him!)

The Theme of My Song
03:53
|
|||
Your mercy in Jesus exempts me from hell;
Its glories I’ll sing, and its wonders I’ll tell;
‘Twas Jesus in mercy, Who hung on the tree,
And opened the channel of mercy for me.
Your mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
O’ercome by Your goodness, pride falls to the ground,
And awe fills my soul at the mercy I’ve found.
Chorus:
Your mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,
The joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue;
Your free grace alone, from the first to the last,
Has won my affections and bound my soul fast.
The door of Your mercy stands open all day,
To souls poor and needy, who knock by the way;
Not one is rejected of all those who came,
Appealing for mercy in Jesus’ dear name.
Great Father of mercies! Your goodness I own,
The covenant love of Your crucified Son;
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine!

Songs of Praise
03:47
|
|||
Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heav’n with hallelujahs rang,
When the Lord’s work had begun,
When He spoke and it was done.
Songs of praise awoke the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born:
Songs of praise arose when He
Captive led captivity.
Chorus:
Songs of praise will ever fill my heart,
And fill my every part.
Songs of praise, ascending to my King,
With millions I will sing
Songs of praise.
Heav’n and earth must pass away,
Songs of praise will crown that day;
God will make new heavens and earth,
Songs of praise will hail their birth.
And will man hold back his tongue
‘Till that glorious kingdom come?
No; the church delights to raise
Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.
Young and old, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
Borne upon their final breath,
Songs of praise will conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.
