Jesus Paid It All Written By Elvina Hall
29
Jan

A beloved gospel hymn rejoicing in the finished work of Christ and the cleansing power of His blood.

I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Can change the lepers spots
And melt the heart of stone

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Ill lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus feet

Nothing But the Blood Written By Robert Lowry
29
Jan

A simple and powerful gospel hymn proclaiming that salvation and cleansing come only through the blood of Jesus.

What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

For my pardon this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Trust and Obey Written By John H Sammis
29
Jan

A joyful gospel hymn teaching that peace and happiness come through trusting and obeying Christ.

When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His good will
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey

Trust and obey
For theres no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey

Not a shadow can rise
Not a cloud in the sky
But His smile quickly drives it away
Not a doubt nor a fear
Not a sigh nor a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey

Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet
Or well walk by His side in the way
What He says we will do
Where He sends we will go
Never fear only trust and obey

Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross Written By Fanny Crosby
29
Jan

A tender hymn by Fanny Crosby focusing on the nearness of Christ and the hope found at the cross.

Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvarys mountain

In the cross in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

Near the cross a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Shed its beams around me

Near the cross O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow oer me

Near the cross Ill watch and wait
Hoping trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river

Blessed Assurance Written By Fanny Crosby

A classic gospel hymn celebrating assurance in Christ and the joy of belonging to Him.

Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation purchase of God
Born of His Spirit washed in His blood

This is my story this is my…

Perfect submission all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest
Watching and waiting looking above
Filled with His goodness lost in His love
