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"

[Verse 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

[Verse 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

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

[Verse 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

[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

Souls that don't know 
The joy of knowing You

I Lift Up My Eyes To You

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

[Verse 1]
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 

[Chorus]
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 

[Verse 2]
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 

[Chorus]
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 

[Chorus]
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

I Saw One Weary

1. I saw one weary, sad, and torn,
With eager steps press on the way,
Who long the hallowed cross had born,
Still looking for the promised day;
While many a line of grief and care,
Upon his brow was furrowed there;
I asked what buoyed his spirits up,
“O this” said he-“the blessed hope.”

2. And one I saw, with sword and shield,
Who boldly braved the world’s cold frown,
And fought, unyielding, on the field,
To win an everlasting crown.
Though worn with toil, oppressed by foes,
No murmur from his heart arose;
I asked what buoyed his spirits up,
“O this!” said he-“the blessed hope.”

3. And there was one who left behind
The cherished friends of early years,
And honor, pleasure, wealth re-signed,
To tread the path bedewed with tears.
Through trials deep and conflict sore,
Yet still a smile of joy he wore;
O! what can buoy the spirit up?
‘Tis this alone-the blessed hope.

4. While pilgrims here we journey on
In this dark vale of sin and gloom,
Through tribulation, hate, and scorn,
Or through the portals of the tomb,
Till our returning King shall come
To take His exile captives home,
O! what can buoy the spirits up?
‘Tis this alone– the blessed hope.

Have you heard the message?

1
Have you heard the wondrous message
of the coming of the Lord?
He will call the faithful to the other shore.
If you’ve made the preparation,
when the midnight trumpet sounds
He will take you to His home forevermore.

Refrain:
He’s coming! He’s coming! Behold!
The glorious event long foretold.
Pearly gates will open wide
for the saved and glorified,
Who will find a beauteous Eden now restored.
In triumphant song uniting
with the happy angel throng
They shall dwell forever with the Lord.

2
We will ascend to the heaven with the angels of the light,
and the loved ones, they will join us in the air.
we won't be never asunder, in that city that's so bright
because we'll abide with Jesus everyday.

3
Then we'll visit to those worlds where the sin they never knew,
and we'll talk about Christ Jesus and His might.
Who came looking for us sinners just to give us ageless life,
and we'll see the years passing byand by.

4
Then we'll see the ages passing without counting every year,
in eternal youth we'll live forever more.
We'll abide with Jesus ever with no sorrow, with no fear,
and we'll be under the shadow of the Lord.

There is A Place I Love To Be

1 There is a place I love to be,
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,
To linger there is joy to me,
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet.

Refrain:
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,
I sweetly rest, and I am blest;
My peace is perfect and complete,
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet.

2 The world cannot disturb my peace;
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,
And love doeth more and more increase
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet. [Refrain]

3 I cannot have a doubt nor fear;
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,
For all is sunshine, love and cheer,
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet. [Refrain]

4 Here will I linger day by day;
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet,
Here will I feast my soul alway,
Down low at my Redeemer’s feet. [Refrain]

There’s an Eye that’s watching o’er me

1. There’s an Eye that’s watching o’er me
In the shadow, in the light
Ev’ry step that lies before me
Plann’d by His all perfect sight
Up the sunny hills of gladness
Thro the valley, lone and dim
Well I know in joy and sadness
All my paths shall lead to Him

Chorus
There’s an eye that’s watching o’er me
There’s a Friend that plans my way
T’ward the shining goal before me
He will lead me day by day

2. There’s a Hand whose gentle pressure
Tells me that my Friend is near
He will hallow grief and pleasure
He will save me from all fear
Surely His hand will uphold me
Wounded, bleeding once for me
Safely will His arms enfold me
Till I reach the crystal sea

3. There’s a Heart for sinners broken
In that broken heart I hide
Since His word hath comfort spoken
Since He drew me to His side
O with love that heart is beating
Fill’d with tenderness divine
Grace and truth in Him are meeting
I am His and He is mine

Hasten on, day eternal!

1. I am waiting for the morning
Of the day that brings release,
Waiting for the golden dawning
Of God's everlasting peace.

Chorus:
Hasten on, day eternal!
Bid the night of sorrow cease;
Usher in love supernal, 
Bring the golden (golden dawn) 
Dawn of peace (golden dawn of peace)

2. O'er the hilltops brightly breaking,
Sun of Righteousness arise,
Ev'ry soul from slumber waking
As God's glory gilds the skies. [Chorus]

3. Endless joy for hours of crying,
Everlasting peace for care;
Immortality for dying,
Hallelujahs glad, for prayer! [Chorus]
