Which song does it for you Part VIII

WHATEVER IT TAKES
(by LANNY WOLFE)

There’s a voice calling me from an old rugged tree
and it whispers draw closer to me..
leave this world far behind...
there are new heights to climb
and a new place in me you will find.

For whatever it takes to draw closer to you Lord,
That’s what I'll be willing to do.
For whatever it takes, to be more like you
That’s what I'll be willing to do.

Take the dearest things to me
if thats how it must be Lord
to draw me closer to thee.
Let the disappointments come,
lonely days without the sun (son)
if thru sorrow more like you I'll become.

I'll trade sunshine for rain...
comfort for pain...
thats what I'll be willing to do.
For whatever it takes for my will to break...
thats what I'll be willing to do.

Take my houses my lands,
change my dreams, change my plans
for I'm placing my whole life in your hands
and if you call me today...
to a place far away Lord I'll go,
and your will I'll obey.

Re: Which song does it for you Part VIII

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

More power to you sister. Mi a pray fi yu to. I believe this song goes to the deepest depth in terms of absolute surrender.

I heard this in Ladies convention some years ago . The impression it left on me then has not changed. I still believe it to be the epitome of what serving God is about.

Powerful stuff sister, POWERFULL!!!

I Must Tell Jesus

I must tell Jesus, all of my trials,
I cannot bear these burdens alone.
In my distress, He kindly will help me,
He ever loves and cares for His own.

I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus,
I cannot bear these burdens alone.
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

I must tell Jesus, all of my troubles,
He’s a kind and compassionate friend.
If I but ask Him He will deliver,
Make of my troubles, quickly an end.

Tempted and tried I need a great savior,
One who can help my burdens to bear.
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus,
He all my cares and sorrows will share.

It’s All About You Jesus

It’s all about You, Jesus.
And all this is for You; For Your glory and Your fame.
It’s not about me, As if you should do things my way.
You alone are God, and I surrender to your ways.
Jesus, lover of my soul; All consuming fire is in Your gaze.
Jesus, I want You to know; I will follow You all my days.
For no one else in history is like You,
And history itself belongs to You.
Alpha and Omega, You have loved me,
And I will share eternity with You.

Love Lifted Me

I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more,
But the Master of the sea, heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!

All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him I’ll cling
In His blessèd presence live, ever His praises sing,
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul’s best songs,
Faithful, loving service too, to Him belongs.

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!

Souls in danger look above, Jesus completely saves,
He will lift you by His love, out of the angry waves.
He’s the Master of the sea, billows His will obey,
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.

Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help
Love lifted me!

The Lord's My Shepherd

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Even for His own Name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff my comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnishèd
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God’s house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

I Lift Up My Hands

Father I love You and my heart is filled with desire to see
Your power and glory, cover the earth as the waters clothe the sea.
I am surrounded by the fortress of God,
totally surrendered to You.

I lift up my hands standing unashamed.
I worship You Father, exalting Your name.
You've captured my heart now my life has changed,
I lift up my hands (2x).

I lift up my hands (3x).

One Day At A Time
"Sweet Jesus"

I'm only human - I'm just a woman
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am
Show me the stairway I have to climb
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
and tomorrow may never be mine
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time

Do you remember when you walked among men
well Jesus you know, if you're looking below
It's worse now than then
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time

One day at a time, sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you
Just give me the strength to do everyday
What I have to do
Yesterday's gone, sweet Jesus
and tomorrow may never be mine
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time

You're Calling My Name

How many times do I go against your will
Then You forgive me 　
But yet I still turn around and do the things
The things I shouldn't do
Cause I belong to You
And I know You will come through
Lord I know
I take advantage of your grace
Here in this christian race
But yet I still hear You calling my name
　

How many times will it take for me to learn
That it's only in your will
I'll ever earn my life reward
The honor due to me life eternally
Riches in glory
Life eternally
Lord I know
I know I don't belong
With You cause I've done wrong
But yet I still hear You calling my name
　

You're calling my name
To come into your arms
To be safe from fear and harm
Knowing this but I still choose to go my way
And You still say
You say that I am He
He who supplies your every need
Oh Lord I've sinned
But You're still calling my name

DC, I checked Audiblefaith and a couple other sites; Israel Haughton performs this song but the author is unknown.

Pour My Love On You

I don't know how to say exactly how I feel.
And I can't begin to tell You what Your love has meant
I'm lost for words

Is there a way to show the passion in my heart
Can I express how truly great I think You are
You're my dearest friend

Lord, this is my desire: to pour my love on You

Like oil upon Your feet
Like wine for You to drink
Like water from my heart
I pour my love on You

With praises like perfume
I lavish mine on You
Till every drop is gone
I pour my love on You

Re: Which song does it for you Part VIII

Jesus Is All The World To Me

Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall.
When I am sad, to Him I go, no other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, my Friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them over and o’er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest’s golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, and true to Him I’ll be;
O how could I this Friend deny, when He’s so true to me?
Following Him I know I’m right, He watches o’er me day and night;
Following Him by day and night, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better Friend;
I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when life’s fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a Friend, beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy, He’s my Friend.

Thanks for checking. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I learnt this in church and loved it. I just never knew who sang this song.
