Jesus' Name

Original Spanish Title: De Mi Amante Salvador
Set to the tune of "On the happy golden shore" (Meet me there)

1. Oh my soul will ever sing
of my loving Savior, King
I will glory in His grace, praise His name!
I was blind, but now I see
I was chained, but now I’m free
I’ve been given a new life in His name!

Chorus:
Jesus’ name! Jesus’ name!
Oh how precious is the sound of Jesus’ name!
With His blood He cleansed my sin
Now I’m filled with joy within
I’ve been given a new life in His name!

2. Oh how sad the wretchedness of my heart of wickedness Until Christ redeemed my soul, praise His name He all my sins forgave From destruction, I am saved And my rugged path he paved, praise His name!

3. In this world I used to roam
On my own without a home
I was wandering away from The Lord
All my tears from yesterday
they are past, but now today
I have joy forevermore in the Lord

4. See what Christ has brought me through From the false to what is true From the vile to what is pure, Praise His name
He to me salvation brings
There is healing in his wings
Unto Him I'll ever sing, Praise His name

Peace in midst of the tempest

This is an alternate version of Kirk Allen's "Peace In The Midst Of A Storm"
This version is based on the Spanish translation

1. When you're crying from all the times you've tried,
And you're trying to forget the tears you've cried.
You've seen so much pain and sorrow,
You don't know about tomorrow.
You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

Chorus:
You can have peace in midst of the tempest.
You can have hope when you can't go on anymore.
Even if your world shatters around you
You can trust God to guide you
You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

2. Sometimes I feel like I know you feel.
When my heart reaches out for something that I know is real.
Then God's love comes to me and helps my mind to be
At peace in the midst of a storm.

Chorus:
You can have peace in midst of the tempest.
You can have hope when you can't go on anymore.
There's love to be found
When the whole world's tumbling down.
You can have peace in midst of the tempest.

Jesus Has Time

Song by Tom Fettke

People were standing 
in line to meet Jesus
waiting with little ones 
the savior to bless
Some said the Lord 
had no time for the children
He is too busy today
"Let them come, let them come
Let the children come to me
I have time, I have time"
Said the Savior tenderly
"Let them come, let them come
Please don't send them away
I have time, let them come, 
let them stay"

I Hear My Risen Savior Say

Song by George D. Watson

1. I hear my risen Savior say:
“Follow me, follow me, follow me”;
His voice is calling all the day,
“Follow me, follow me, follow me;
For thee I trod the bitter way,
For thee I gave my life away,
And drank the gall thy debt to pay,
Follow me, follow me, follow me.”

2. “I know thy life of guilt and pain;
Follow me, follow me, follow me!
I know each ache of heart and brain;
Follow me, follow me, follow me!
How often I have called in vain,
And offered pardon in my name,
And now I plead yet once again!
Follow me, follow me, follow me!”

3. “Though thou hast sinned I’ll pardon thee;
Follow me, follow me, follow me!
From every sin I’ll set thee free;
Follow me, follow me, follow me!
In all thy changing life I’ll be
Thy God, thy guide on land and sea,
Thy bliss through all eternity,
Follow me, follow me, follow me!”

4. “Come, cast on Me thine every care;
Follow me, follow me, follow me!
Thy heavy load I will upbear;
Follow me, follow me, follow me!
Come, look to Me—dismiss thy fears;
And trust Me through eternal years;
My hand shall wipe away thy tears;
Follow me, follow me, follow me!”

5. Dear Lord, I yield to Thee my will;
I’ll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow Thee!
Oh, bid my struggling soul be still;
I’ll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow Thee!
Lord, cleanse me, with Thy Spirit fill,
And keep me safe from every ill;
And all Thy Word in me fulfill;
I’ll follow Thee, follow Thee, follow Thee!

In Triumph Come Oh Lord

This version of the battle hymn of the republic is based on the Portuguese version

Behold now shines the glory 
of the everlasting King
and the kingdoms of this world 
will see the law they now have spurned
All the signs are now foretelling 
of Christ's soon coming return
In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Hear the trumpet sounding, 
It beckons us to the fight
Christ stands up for us, His people, 
Granting us the victory
The enemy met his own defeat, 
on old dark Calvary
In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Then at before His throne
All the nations shall be judged
Everyone though great or small
will see the justice of the King
And all of us who are redeemed 
Will shout aloud and sing
“In Triumph Come Oh Lord”

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
In Triumph Come Oh Lord

Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
In Triumph Come Oh Lord

The Best Place In The World

Original Portuguese title: O Melhor Lugar do Mundo
Author: Eli Soares

There's plenty of beauty around in this world
Astonishing places for mankind to see
So many miraculous wonders of nature
Where any human being would love to be
But out of all these lovely places
There one resembling paradise
Is where a sinner kneels down to pray
At the feet of Jesus Christ

For the best place in the world 
Is at the feet of Jesus Christ
There is healing in His presence
He's the way the truth the light
In His grace I find the true source
Of an every lasting life
For the best place in the world 
Is at the feet of Jesus Christ

We dream of success, we crave for more comfort
We long for a life of ease and delight
But all we may own is empty and senseless
If anything but Christ is in control of our lives
When I feel God's endless power
When His peace reigns in my soul
I will be glad no matter where I may be
Because I am at the best place in the world

For the best place in the world 
Is at the feet of Jesus Christ
There is healing in His presence
He's the way the truth the light
In His grace I find the true source
Of an every lasting life
For the best place in the world 
Is at the feet of Jesus Christ

There is no better place in this world
That at the feet of Jesus Christ

In His grace I find the true source
Of an every lasting life
For the best place in the world 
Is at the feet of Jesus Christ



There Is A Pathway

Original title: Hay Una Senda
Author: Tomás Estrada

There is a pathway that this world is ignoring,
There is a pathway that I could find at last!
I've found in Jesus salvation and redemtion,
Christ is the pathway, and He'll my steps shall guide!
I've found in Jesus salvation and redemtion,
Christ is the pathway, and He'll my steps shall guide!

Also my kindred and all my friends were mocking,
because I changed my way to live my life.
They were detesting my fellowship with Jesus,
when they found out that I gave myself to Christ.
They were detesting my fellowship with Jesus,
when they found out that I gave myself to Christ.

As I was walking that pathway with a hardship,
it was the pathway that leads to heaven's gate.
I'll be transformed in the twinkling of an eye,
then I shall live forever with my God!
I'll be transformed in the twinkling of an eye,
then I shall live forever with my God!

I Have Need Of The Lord

Original title: Necesito Al Señor
Song by: Omhed Gutierrez Gonzalez

I have need of the Lord
In my everyday life
I must never forget
He is here by my side

I have need from above
His wonderful love
and I need to believe
He'll carry me through

I have need of the Lord
every day when I rise
In The Lord I abide
in Him I safely hide
 
I have need from above
His wonderful love
and I need to believe
He'll carry me through

I have need of the Lord
and I need to believe
that He is here with me
to help me when I feel
my faith fading away
His voice I shall hear
He will make plain to me
the things I need to see
Oh His wonderful great love
dispels all unbelief
though I may be in grief
in great sorrow or pain
I'll triumph in the end
For close by my side
the Lord here abides
My savior is He
and He abides with me
My savior is He

I have need of the Lord
and I need to believe
that He is here with me
to help me when I feel
my faith fading away
His voice I shall hear
He will make plain to me
the things I need to see
Oh His wonderful great love
dispels all unbelief
though I may be in grief
in great sorrow or pain
I'll triumph in the end
For close by my side
the Lord here abides
My savior is He
and He abides with me
My savior is He

O Lord, divine companion

Original title: Divino compañero del camino
Song by Antonio Rivera

O Lord, divine companion on this journey
Your presence warms my heart along the way
Jesus you have scattered every shadow
I walk in light, Your light divine, light of Your love

Stay with me, O Lord, for it is evening
The day is almost done, abide with me
Savior of my soul, my heart I offer
Make it Your home
Make it Your home eternally

The shadows of the night close in around me
The darkness speaks to me, I feel its power
Leave me not, I pray, come close beside me
My only hope till journey's end
Lord, be my guide

Stay with me, O Lord, for it is evening
The day is almost done, abide with me
Savior of my soul, my heart I offer
Make it Your home
Make it Your home eternally

God Is Here Today

Original title: Dios está aquí
Song by Javier Gacías Mateo

God is here today;
as certain as the air that I am breathing,
as certain as the sun that rises in the morning,
as certain as when I sing that you are hearing my song.

His presence is here
You can feel his presence right beside you
His presence is here
You can feel it within your heart
His presence is here
In this problem that you are having
His presence is here
If you let Him, He'll guide your life

O How Glorious Will Be That Great Morning

Original Spanish Title: Cuán Gloriosa Será la Mañana
Author: Mariano and Felicia Beltrán
Translator: Mary Louise Bringle

1. O how glorious will be that great morning
When Christ Jesus returns to be adored.
When the nations as sisters and as brothers
Join to welcome the coming of the Lord.

Chorus:
For the brilliance of that dawn
will outshine the brightest sun.
All its heat and light give way
to God’s never ending day.
No more weeping will remain,
no more grief and no more pain.
For at last Jesus Christ, the Lamb of heaven
‘throned in mercy, forevermore will reign!

2. How we wait for that great glorious morning
When the God of love comes for us to greet;
When the fragrance of Christ will bathe our senses
in the rose light of dawn so rich and sweet.

3. On that day, ev’ry true faithful Christian,
Each a worker who gladly sacrificed,
Like the Bride all adorned to meet her Bridegroom,
Will rejoice in the loving arms of Christ.

Peace In The Midst Of A Storm

Song Written by Kirk Allen
Popularized in Spanish as "Paz En La Tormenta"

1. Sometimes I feel like I know you feel.
When my heart reaches out for something that I know is real.
Then His love comes to me and helps my mind to be
At peace in the midst of a storm.

Chorus:
You can have peace in the midst of a storm.
You can have hope when you can't go on anymore.
There's love to be found
When the whole world's tumbling down.
You can have peace in the midst of a storm.

2. When you're crying from all the times you've tried,
And you're trying to forget the tears you've cried.
You've seen so much pain and sorrow,
You don't know about tomorrow.
You can have peace in the midst of a storm.

Chorus:
You can have peace in the midst of a storm.
You can have hope when you can't go on anymore.
There's love to be found
When the whole world's tumbling down.
You can have peace in the midst of a storm.

A Missionary Spirit

Song by: P. Enrique García Vélez
Original Title: "Alma Misionera"

1. Oh Lord
Take my new life you gave me
Before my time of waiting 
Takes many years from me
I'm here
I'm ready when You need me
No matter where You lead me 
Lord, call me to serve You

Chorus
Lead me to where there are people
that need to hear Your good word
Souls that need hope 
And a reason to live 
Lead me to where there are people
that are overwhelmed with sorrow 
Souls that don't know 
The joy of knowing You

2. My heart
I give to you sincerely
to cry aloud with boldness
the beauty of Your love
I have
A missionary spirit
Send me out into this world
To souls that thirst for You

3. And so
I will march on with singing
preaching at every corner 
the greatness of Your name
I'll have 
Hands that will not grow weary, 
Lips that will tell Your story
And pow'r that comes through prayer

I Lift Up My Eyes To You

Song by: Dante Godeau
Original Title: "La Creacion" (Alzo mis ojos a ti)

I lift up my eyes to You 
to see the things You have made 
upon seeing Your great power 
I'm able to see Your love 

Behold the heavens 
the stars in deep space 
The earth and sea 
that You have made 
I don't deserve these 
many blessings 
yet You bless me in Your love 

The birds up in the bright blue sky 
lift up their songs of joy to You
giving You their gratitude 
for the life that You bestow 

Behold the heavens 
the stars in deep space 
The earth and sea 
that You have made 
I don't deserve these 
many blessings 
yet You bless me in Your love 

Behold the heavens 
the stars in deep space 
The earth and sea 
that You have made 
I don't deserve these 
many blessings 
yet You bless me in Your love 
In Your love 
In Your love

I want a principle within

1. I want a principle within
Of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
A pain to feel it near.
Help me the first approach to feel
Of pride or wrong desire;
To catch the wandering of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.

2. From Thee that I no more may stray,
No more Thy goodness grieve,
Grant me the filial awe, I pray,
The tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make!
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.

3. Almighty God of truth and love,
To me Thy power impart;
The burden from my soul remove,
The hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
My reawakened soul,
And drive me to that blood again,
Which makes the wounded whole.

Where would I ever be?

 Original Spanish Title: Que seria de mi

Where would I ever be 
if you hadn't reached out and saved me?
Where would I be today 
if I didn't have your forgiveness?
My heart would be empty and void within
I'd be roaming about and lost in sin

If it weren't for your grace 
and for your love
If it weren't for your grace 
and for your love

I would have been like an injured bird
that falls and dies on the ground
Or like a deer that's panting for water
in the middle of a desert

If it weren't for your grace 
and for your love
If it weren't for your grace 
and for your love
