Nearer Still Nearer

1. Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart,
Draw me, my Savior, so precious Thou art;
Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest,
Shelter me safe in that haven of rest.

2. Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Nought as an offering to Jesus my King-
Only my sinful now contrite heart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart,
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart.

3. Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine;
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified.

4. Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last;
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages, ever to be,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee,
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to Thee.

Abide With Me

1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

3. I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

4. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me!

Just As I Am (I Come Broken)

Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, just as I am

Just as I am, I would be lost
But mercy and grace my freedom bought
And now to glory in Your cross
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come

I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, just as I am

I come broken to be mended
I come wounded to be healed
I come desperate to be rescued
I come empty to be filled
I come guilty to be pardoned
By the blood of Christ the Lamb
And I'm welcomed with open arms
Praise God, just as I am
Praise God, just as I am
Just as I am

I'm glad to say (Bluegrass Brethren)

I'm glad to say that I know Jesus
I'm walking daily in His care
He has for me a heavenly mansion
and He's waiting for me there

Oh I can hear the angels singin'
I can see that golden throne
hear those Hallelujahs ringin'
when He calls His children home

When the load I have to carry
gets too much for me to bear
I find a quiet sanctuary
and tell it to my Lord in prayer

Oh I can hear the angels singin'
I can see that golden throne
hear those Hallelujahs ringin'
when He calls His children home

Oh my friend if you don't know Him
do not tarry, won't you come?
In His house are many mansions
and He will gladly prepare you one

Oh I can hear the angels singin'
I can see that golden throne
hear those Hallelujahs ringin'
when He calls His children home

When He calls His children home
When He calls His children home

His Tapestry (Bluegrass Brethren)

If we had the vision
from heaven up on high
a tapestry He's making
from each and every life
we all our colors woven
He uses here and there
created with the artistry
of His love and care

Some enjoying glory
some enduring pain
some with great rejoicing
some with dread or shame
some appear defeated
some with victories won
making His plan beautiful
when their lives are done

Some are filled with joy
others tragedy
adding every strand
to His tapestry
someday up in heaven
we will understand
each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Simple acts of kindness
random acts of love
trusting in the Master
weaving up above
when we go to glory
we will plainly see
how we all have given
to His tapestry

Some are filled with joy
others tragedy
adding every strand
to His tapestry
someday up in heaven
we will understand
each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Some are filled with joy
others tragedy
adding every strand
to His tapestry
someday up in heaven
we will understand
each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Each life was gently woven
by the Master's hand

Always Keep the Faith (Bluegrass Brethren)

Daniel prayed and when
thrown in the lion's den
kept the faith, was not afraid
then an angel came
and made the lions tame
Saw the Lord, His power displayed

Always keep the faith
Always keep the faith
Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

David met Goliath
Ungodly and defiant
Mocking God and David too
David slung a stone
kept faith in God alone
and the giant he quickly slew

Always keep the faith
Always keep the faith
Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

When three Hebrew men
who kept the faith in them
to an idol would not bow
in a furnace thrown
they were not there alone
and they walked unharmed brought out

Always keep the faith
Always keep the faith
Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

Trusting in the Savior
Always keep the faith

Believe Him (Bluegrass Brethren)

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

I was a captive
in the shackles of my sin
Freedom was given
when I let the Savior in
All He's done for me
He can do the same for you
Believe and receive Him
is all you need to do

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

I know I'll go to glory
See my Savior face to face
Naught for what I've done
All for His amazing grace
Come to Him repentant
He will hear your sinner's plea
The doorway to heaven
opens the moment we believe

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

Believe Him, receive Him
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
Believe Him, receive Him
And you'll be glory bound

And you'll be glory bound

Straight Is the Gate (Bluegrass Brethren)

Can a camel pass through a needle?
Can a rich man enter heaven's door?
Narrow is the way that leads to
that blissful eternal shore

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Straight is the gate that opens
He the life truth and way
Now is the day of salvation
Don't dare wait one more day

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Few are the ones that find it
You can be one of the few
He is the door that leads there
and He is calling you

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
and few are the ones that find it
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
that leads to our eternal home

Take Up Your Cross (Bluegrass Brethren)

My child, if you would follow, you must really count the cost
For in giving up yourself, I'll make you free
And in taking of my new life, your old life will be lost
Come along, take up your cross, follow me

Take up your cross and follow me
My burden is light and easy
Put on my yoke and learn of me
Take up your cross and follow me

You may have a humbling weakness I will give for you to bear
It is only that I want for you to see
that in your small affliction, my strength is always there
Follow on, do my work, trust in me

Take up your cross and follow me
My burden is light and easy
Put on my yoke and learn of me
Take up your cross and follow me

I'll go with you, I will love you, I will lead you, I will stay
No matter what your trial on earth may be
Just remember that the sufferings of this present day
cannot compare with the glory that will be

Take up your cross and follow me
My burden is light and easy
Put on my yoke and learn of me
Take up your cross and follow me

Take up your cross and follow me
