I came to Jesus as I was, weary and worn and sad; I found in him a resting-place, and he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give the living water; thirsty one, stoop down, and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank of that life-giving stream; my thirst was quenched, my soul revived, and now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; look unto me, your morn shall rise; and all your day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found in him my star, my sun; and in that light of life I'll walk till travelling days are done. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Baptist Hymnal, 1991

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: Alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia!

I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within your arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2 My pow'r is faint and low till I have learned to serve; it lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve; it cannot drive the world until itself be driv'n; its flag can only be unfurled when you shall breathe from heav'n. 3 My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move till you have wrought its chain; enslave it with your matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. Scripture: Matthew 16:24-26 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER
