Hymns


1 Corinthians 14:26              New English Translation                  

Church Order

26 What should you do then, brothers and sisters? When you come together, each one has a song, has a lesson, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all these things be done for the strengthening of the church.

 

Hymns

 

Very often songs of the past were a call to service and

about assurance of salvation and the power of our Lord

Surely a call tries to mold and to be prepared for His service

Through love and gentle patience so as not to be cloned a robot

 

He provides the “Living Water”, that flows from the Holy Spirit

Into my spirit as long as I hunger and desire to be more Jesus

My spirit overflows with Him as He pours Himself in merit

In everything I need to become alike the image of Christ Jesus

 

If I quit sharing the Gospel, however, the flow will slow and stop

And my spirit instead of overflowing will become stagnant for sure

It will drown in its own feelings and develop only its pitiful crop

And drown for sure in the ocean of indifference there to be procured
