on old songs that ministered deep...


haha, my friend led us in these 2 songs that ministered deeply this morning during staff devotions. They are what he called the "older folks" song :p Am blessed by these, and hope you will be too!

 

 

Day By Day


 


Verse 1:


E                                              F#m


Day by day, and with each passing moment,


               B7                          E
Strength I find to meet my trials here;


                             F#m
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,


 B7                          E
I've no cause for worry or for fear.


                                     A
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,


      B7                               E
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
                                      F#m


Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,


  B7                       E
Mingling toil with peace and rest.


Verse 2:
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow'r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
"As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,"
This the pledge to me He made.


Verse 3:
Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith's sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E'er to take, as from a father's hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.

I Have Found A Friend In Jesus


 


Verse 1:


          E                     E7            A                E


I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s ev’rything to me,


                  C#m                   B7
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul;


      E            E7          A              E
The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see


                         B7               E
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
    A                                  E


In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay;
                       C#m              B7


He tells me ev’ry care on Him to roll.


 


Refrain


            E                            A                        E


He’s the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,


                     B7                  E
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.



 



 




 


Verse 2:


He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne;
In temptation He’s my strong and mighty tower;
I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn
From my heart and now He keeps me by His power.
Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore,
Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.


 


Refrain


 


Verse 3:


He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here,
While I live by faith and do His blessèd will;
A wall of fire about me, I’ve nothing now to fear,
From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill.
Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessèd face,
Where the rivers of delight shall ever roll.


 


Refrain
