Everlasting Peace
Feb 2, 2010I hear the words of love,
I gaze upon the blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice,
And I have peace with God.
’This everlasting peace,
Sure as Jehovah’s Name;
’Is stable as His steadfast throne,
For evermore the same.
The clouds may come and go,
And storms may sweep the sky;
This blood-sealed friendship changes not,
The cross is ever nigh.
My love is often low,
My joy it ebbs and flows;
But peace with Him remains the same,
No change Jehovah knows.
Words: Horatius Bonar
Music: Blayne Chastain & Joanna Branum
We Sing the Greatness of Our God
Sep 6, 2008Lyrics
We sing the greatness of our God
That made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad
And built the lofty skies.
We sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at His command,
And all the stars obey.
We sing the goodness of the Lord
That filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with His word
And then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed
Where're we turn our eyes;
In every season of the year,
And through the changing skies.
There’s not a plant or flower below
But makes Thy glories known;
And clouds arise and tempest blow
By order from Thy throne.
While all that borrows life from Thee
Is ever in Thy care,
And everywhere that man can be,
Thou, God, art present there.

My Faith Has Found a Resting Place
Aug 29, 2008Note...
Brian Oaks recorded this on his album There Still is Room. Click here to listen to his version. A preview of my version of it as recorded on Live at Saint Pat's is attached below.
Lyrics...
My faith has found a resting place,
From guilt my soul is freed;
I trust the ever living One,
His wounds for me shall plead.
Chorus:
I need no other argument,
I need no other plea,
It is enough that Jesus died,
And that He died for me.
Enough for me that Jesus saves,
This ends my fear and doubt;
A sinful soul I come to Him,
He’ll never cast me out.
Chorus
My heart is leaning on the Word,
The written Word of God,
Salvation by my Savior’s Name,
Salvation through His blood.
Chorus
My great Physician heals the sick,
The lost He came to save;
For me His precious blood He shed,
For me His life He gave.
Chorus
