God understands your sorrow

Song by Oswald J. Smith

1.  God understands your sorrow,
He sees the falling tear,
And whispers, "I am with thee;"
then falter not, nor fear.
He understands your longing,
Your deepest grief He shares;
Then let Him bear your burden,
He understands, and cares.

2.   God understands your heartache,
He knows the bitter pain;
O, trust Him in the darkness,
you cannot trust in vain.
He understands your longing,
Your deepest grief He shares;
Then let Him bear your burden,
He understands, and cares

3.  God understands your weakness,
He knows the tempter's power;
And He will walk beside you
however dark the hour.
He understands your longing,
Your deepest grief He shares;
Then let Him bear your burden,
He understands, and cares

Never Alone

1. I’ve seen the lightning flashing,
  And heard the thunder roll;
I’ve felt sin’s breakers dashing,
  Trying to conquer my soul;
I’ve heard the voice of Jesus,
  Telling me still to fight on;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.

Chorus
No, never alone,
No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone;
No, never alone,
No, never alone,
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.

2. The world’s fierce winds are blowing,
  Temptations are sharp and keen;
I feel a peace in knowing
  My Savior stands between;
He stands to shield me from danger,
  When earthly friends are gone,
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.

3. When in affliction’s valley,
  I’m treading the road of care,
My Savior helps me to carry
  My cross when heavy to bear;
My feet entangled with briars,
  Ready to cast me down;
My Savior whispered His promise,
  Never to leave me alone.

4. He died for me on the mountain,
  For me they pierced His side,
For me He opened that fountain,
  The crimson, cleansing tide;
For me He waiteth in glory,
  Seated upon His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
  Never to leave me alone.

No one could ever separate us

Original title: Jamás Podrá Alguien Separarnos
Author: Nicolás Samojluk

No one could ever separate us
from the love of Jesus Christ my Lord
Nor any other thing can banish
The joy my Jesus has restored
Nor peril, sword or tribulation
Nor death, nor sorrow, pain, or shame
Nor worldly treasures and temptations
Its honors, glory, pomp, and fame

For my transgressions He was wounded
despised, afflicted, bruised, and torn
With cruel fury He was smitten
to take our sorrows and our griefs
How then can we be so ungrateful
and depart from Him who loved us so
And hide our face from Him who suffered
to give us life, to give us peace

Psalm 23 (Bluegrass Brethren)

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
He makes me to lie in pastures green
He leads me beside the still waters
In His righteous path He will lead

Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all of my days
And I will dwell with Him forever
Where I will give Him my praise

Though through the dark valley I travel
No fear will I have where e're I go
His rod and His staff give protection
He brings great comfort to my soul

Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all of my days
And I will dwell with Him forever
Where I will give Him my praise

He sets a table before me
In the presence of my foes
He anoints my head with oil
My cup of blessing overflows

Surely goodness and mercy
Shall follow me all of my days
And I will dwell with Him forever
Where I will give Him my praise

And I will dwell with Him forever
Where I will give Him my praise

Jesus Really Cares

Song by the Bluegrass Brethren

Sin was all around me
Jesus came and found me
Loosed me from my chains and set me free
Then He took my sorrow, gave joy for tomorrow
I'm grateful that He cared for me

He took my life and changed me from the inside out
He saved my soul, He removed all fear and doubt
And when I call He will answer every prayer
That's how I know that Jesus really cares

When I was lonely, Jesus was the only
One who really cared for me
He came along beside me
And sweet comfort gave me
He was there to meet my every need

He took my life and changed me from the inside out
He saved my soul, He removed all fear and doubt
And when I call He will answer every prayer
That's how I know that Jesus really cares

When I kneel in prayer He is always there
I know He will lend a listening ear
I give to Him my trial, knowing all the while
Trusting in Him I need never fear

He took my life and changed me from the inside out
He saved my soul, He removed all fear and doubt
And when I call He will answer every prayer
That's how I know Jesus really cares

That's how I know that Jesus really cares

When I Cry

Makin' a list of all of the good things You've done for me
Lord, I've never been one to complain
But right now I'm lost and I can't find my way
My world's come apart and it's breakin' my heart
But it helps to know Your heart is breakin' too

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

Alone in the dark, face in my hands, crying out to You
Lord, there's never been a time in my life
There's so much at stake, there's so much to lose
But I trust it to You
You'll bring me through
And it helps me to know that I'm not alone

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

You're the one who calmed the raging sea
You're the one who made the blind to see
You looked through all of heaven and eternity
And through it all you saw me...

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
And when I've lost someone it takes a piece of You, too
When I fall on my face, You fill me with grace
Nothing breaks your heart, or tears you apart
Like when I cry

No Longer Slaves

 You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
'Til all my fears are gone

I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

From my mother's womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again to a family
Your blood flows through my veins

I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

I am surrounded
By the arms of the Father
I am surrounded
By songs of deliverance

We've been liberated
From our bondage
We're the sons and the daughters
Let us sing our freedom

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears are drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am a child of God

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
You drown my fears in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am a child of God

Yes, I am
I am a child of God
I am a child of God
Yes, I am
I am a child of God
Full of faith
Yes, I am a child of God
I am a child of God

I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

No one but Jesus Christ

Original Spanish Title: Solo Cristo Jesus

On a day like today
I had much on my mind
I wanted to know more
about the wisdom that
I had heard the day before
On a day like today
while reading I had learned
Through Christ I can do all things,
He strengthens me as I walk with Him

No one but Jesus Christ
can take away my sorrow
He can work things out,
there isn’t a problem
that He can’t resolve
No one but Jesus Christ
can give you salvation
He offers you His peace
and He offers you a place
to enter His joy

On a day like today
I would like to sing
telling everyone I meet
that in Christ alone
is where you will find peace
In a day like today
He will work things out
so that all of your dreams
and all that you hoped for
become reality

No one but Jesus Christ
can take away my sorrow
He can work things out,
there isn’t a problem
that He can’t resolve
No one but Jesus Christ
can give you salvation
He offers you His peace
and He offers you a place
to enter His joy

No one but Jesus Christ
can take away my sorrow
He can work things out,
there isn’t a problem
that He can’t resolve
No one but Jesus Christ
can give you salvation
He offers you His peace
and He offers you a place
to enter His joy

Purify me Lord

Original Spanish Title: Purifícame (El Sanctuario Celestial) by Grupo Heme Aqui

Today I draw near unto your throne oh God
Your sanctuary is where I want to be
For there interceding is my advocate
The Lord Jesus Christ ministers there for me

May my prayers ascend to your altar oh God
like a sweet smelling incense unto you, Lord
Lord change my life completely, make it brand new
by the grace and the righteousness of your love

Purify me Lord
through the blood of Jesus the redeeming lamb
May the peace of God
fill my entire soul and my heart today
Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

In the judgment before the heavenly throne
You no longer see my sins and all my wrongs
You only see Jesus standing in my place
for it is He who helps me in my great need

May the forgiveness that only you can give
be accepting of me just the way I am
May it transform me through the grace of Your Son
May your Spirit engrave your law in my heart

Purify me Lord
through the blood of Jesus the redeeming lamb
May the peace of God
fill my entire soul and my heart today
Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

Purify me Lord
through the blood of Jesus the redeeming lamb
May the peace of God
fill my entire soul and my heart today
Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The Ten Commandments they tell me what to do
The twelve disciples are my road signs
And Jesus will take me safely through

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The children of Israel used it too
They crossed the Red Sea of destruction
For God was there to see them through

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day
