My precious Savior suffered pain and agony

He bore it all (Jesus bore it all) that I might see His
shining face (see His Shining face)
He bore it all (Freely bore it

I stood condemned to
die (stood condemned to die) but Jesus took my place (freely took my
place)
He bore it all (all) that (that) I (I) might (might) live (in
His presence live)
Up Calvary's hill in shame the blessed Savior trod
He bore it all
(Freely bore it all)
That I might live (I with Him might
live)
Between two thieves they crucified the Son of God
He bore it
all (all) that (that) I (I) might (might) live (in His presence live)

Lyrics:
Soft as the voice of an angel

Wait till the tempest is done
Hope for the sunshine
tomorrow
After the shower is gone

Whi- (whispering hope) -spering hope (whispering hope)
Oh
how wel- (welcome thy voice) -come thy voice (oh how welcome thy
voice)
Mak- (making my heart) -ing my heart (making my heart)
In its
sor- (it's sorrow) -row rejoice
Hope, as an anchor so steadfast
Rends the dark veil for the
soul
Whither the Master has entered
Robbing the grave of its
goal
Come then, O come, glad fruition
Come to my sad weary
heart
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory
Never, O never depart

Oh blessed hope

Lyrics:
There's a Lighthouse on the hillside
That over looks life's
sea
And when I'm tossed it sends out a light
That I might see
And
the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead us o'er
If it
wasn't for the Lighthouse
My ship would be no more
Chorus:
And I thank God for the Lighthouse
I owe my life to
Him
For Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin
He has
shown a light around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't
for the Lighthouse (tell me)
Where would this ship be?
Everybody that lives about us
Says tear that Lighthouse
down
The big ships don't sail this way anymore
There's no use of it
standing round
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night
When just
in time I saw the light
Yes, the light from that old Lighthouse
That
stands up there on the hill
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, 'I am the light of the
world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the
light of life.'" John 8:12
"'Put your trust in the light while
you have it, so that you may become sons of light.' When he had finished
speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them." John 12:36

Lyrics:
Here I labor and toil as I look for a home
Just an humble abode
among men
While in Heaven a mansion is waiting for me
And a gentle
voice pleading "come in"
Chorus:
There's a mansion now empty, just waiting for me
At the
end of life's troublesome way
Many friends and dear loved ones will
welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion some day
When my labor and toiling have ended below
And my hands shall lie
folded in rest
I'll exchange this old home for a mansion up
there
And invite the arch angel as guest
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"The Lord Almighty has declared in my hearing: 'Surely the great houses will become desolate, the fine mansions left without occupants.'" Isaiah 5:9

Lyrics:
Jesus the Savior came down from above
Came to bring mercy and
love
"Crucify Him" the mob scornfully cried
So He on Calvary
died
While on the cross He prayed, "Father forgive,
For they know
not what they do"
For us He died that for Him we might live
Can He
depend on You?
Chorus:
Can He depend on You (can He depend on You)?
His blessed
will to do (His blessed will to do)?
Will you be crowned with the
faithful and true
Can He depend on You?
He is preparing in heaven a home
For all His faithful and own
Are
you preparing to stand by His side
Or in that day be denied?
Have
you told others the story of love?
Showing them what they should
do
These are the precepts that come from above
Can He depend on
You?
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Romans 12:18

If I walk in the pathway of duty
If I work till the close of the

When I've gone the last
mile of the way
Chorus:
When I've gone the last mile of the way (the last mile of
the way)
I will rest at the close of the day (at the close of the
day)
And I know there are joys that await me
When I've gone the last
mile of the way
And if here I have earnestly striven
And have tried all His will to
obey
'Twill enhance all the rapture of heaven
When I've gone the
last mile of the way
Repeat Chorus

There is, beyond the azure blue
A God, concealed from human

He tinted skies with heav'nly hue
And framed the worlds with
His great might

There is a God (There is a God), He is alive (He is

In Him we live (In Him we live) and we survive (and we
survive)
From dust our God (From dust our God) created man (created
man)
He is our God (He is our God), the great I Am (the great I Am)
There was a long, long time ago
A God whose voice the prophets
heard
He is the God that we should know
Who speaks from His inspired
word
Repeat Chorus
Our God, whose Son upon a tree
A life was willing there to
give
That He from sin might set man free
And evermore with Him could
live
