Which song does it for you? Part II

[Guest]

Happy Easter Everyone!

In honor of this special day...
..... For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.

In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see,
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.

Here is a more modern song but carries the same Easter message {IMO}

It's by my favorite gospel artist - Donnie McClurkin

Just for me

What does the cross of Jesus mean?
It's more than songs we sing-
Much more than that emblem on your chain.
But it means I am free (so free)
From the chains of slavery
And the blood He shed wont let my sins remain

Upon the cross my Savior died
The Lamb was crucified.
Showed us love that the world had never known
Oh what love divine (so divine)
Truer love you'll never find
So that we might live
Love came and died alone

Well the cross will always represent
The love God had for me,
Where the Lord of glory heaven sent
Gave all on calvary
He did it just for me,
Just for me-
Jesus came and did it just for me

Just for me,
Just for me,
Jesus came and did it just for me
Just for me-
Just for me (thank you Lord)
Jesus came and did it just for me.

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason
That He suffered and died
To all that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live.

Re: Which song does it for you? Part II

This is mine, for Easter and all times


Take me pass the outer courts
Into Your Holy Place
Pass the brazen Altars
Lord I want to see Your face
Pass me by the crowd of people
And the priest who sings your praise
I hunger and thirst for Your righteousnes
But it's only found one place

Take me into the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me into the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips
Here I am
Take the coal, cleanse my lips
Here I am

[tonirand]

Re: Which song does it for you? Part II

There's this other one that I learnt at camp years ago when a group from Cayman visited

The Holy of Holies
In the Holy of Holies
Behind the heavy veil
Sat the Ark of the Covenant
Where The Most High dwelt
And only the High Priest could enter therein
To offer up a sacrifice for the atonement of sin
But the veil was rent in an instant Revealing that Holy place
For on a hill nearby on a rugged cross Justice met grace

Now I can go (I can go)
Into the Holy of Holies
I can kneel (I can kneel)
Make my petition known
I can go (I can go)
To the Holy of Holies
And although I'm just a common man
Because of God's redemption plan
I can boldly approach the throne

The blood of sacrifices
Is no more required
For the blood of Christ
The spotless one
Completely paid the price
And the sacrifice of worship will open heaven's door
Allowing us to enter in the presence of the Lord

Now I can go....

Re: Which song does it for you? Part II

This one makes me get weak in the knees: [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

God is the Joy and the strength of my life
He removes all pain, misery and strife
He promise to keep me, never to leave
He'll never ever fall short of His word
I've got to fast and pray, stay in the narrow way
I'll live my life clean everyday
I want to go with HIm when He comes back
I've come too far and I'll never turn back

God is (rep x4)
God is my all and all.


**my knees have failed me now***

I like Carlene Davis' version...

Re: Which song does it for you? Part II

This is a modern one and so beautiful:

WE worship You in the Spirit
We worship You in the Truth
We worship You in the Spirit
That's what we want to do

Into the Holy of holies

Into the presence of God
Into the HOlies of Holy
That's where I want to be

Very beautiful song. My mom sang the lead at her church a few weeks ago and brought down the house.

Hey Anna, if you do come to Brampton today, please try and make it to the play. It's absolutely beautiful.

Re: Which song does it for you? Part II

Lamb of God

Your only Son, no sin to hide,
But you have sent him from your side
To walk this earth and shed his blood
And to become the Lamb of God.

Your gift of love they crucified,
They laughed and scorned him as he died,
The humble King they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God.

O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God,
I love the holy Lamb of God,
O wash me in his precious blood,
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

I was so lost, I should have died,
But you have brought me to your side,
To be led by your staff and rod
And to be called the Lamb of God.

Re: Which song does it for you? Part II

A favorite of my Dad's and one I have come to embrace over the years.

---

I have made my choice forever; I will walk with Christ my Lord.
Naught from Him my soul can sever while I’m trusting in His Word.
I the lonely ways have taken, rough and toilsome though it be;
And although despised, forsaken, Jesus I’ll go through with Thee.

Though the garden lies before me, and the scornful judgment hall,
Though the gloom of deepest midnight settles round me like a pall,
Darkness can affright me never; from Thy presence shadows flee.
And if Thou wilt guide me ever, Jesus, I’ll go through with Thee.

Though the earth may rock and tremble, though the sun may hide its face,
Though my foes may be strong and ruthless, still I dare to trust Thy grace.
Though the cross my path o’ershadow, Thou didst bear it once for me.
And whate’er the pain or peril, Jesus, I’ll go through with Thee.

When the conflict here is ended, and the weary journey done;
When the last grim foe is conquered, and the final victory won;
When the pearly gates swing open, and an entrance full and free
Shall be granted to the victors, Jesus, I’ll go through with Thee.

He was there all the time
He was there all the time
Waiting patienly in line
He was there all the time

Re: Which song does it for you? Part II

He knew me
Yet, He loved me
He who's glory made..
the heaven shine

I'm so unworthy.
Of such mercies
When He was the cross (that day)
You and I was on His mind.
