Joey + Rory - Hymns That Are Important To Us Album Lyrics

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I am tired,
I am weak,
I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light

Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me home

When my way grows drear
Precious Lord, linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call

Hold my hand, lest I fall
and take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near
And the day is past and gone

At the river, I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
and take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I am tired,
I am weak,
I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
and take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I am tired,
I am weak,
I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light

Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me home

When my way grows drear
Precious Lord, linger near
When my light is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call

Hold my hand, lest I fall
and take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near
And the day is past and gone

At the river, I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand
and take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help me stand
I am tired,
I am weak,
I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light
and take my hand precious Lord
Lead me home

Shackled by a heavy burden,
'Neath a load of guilt and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
And now I am no longer the same

He touched me, Oh He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know,
He touched me and made me whole

Since I met this blessed Savior,
Since He cleansed and made me whole,
I will never cease to praise Him,
I'll shout it while eternity rolls

He touched me, Oh He touched me,
And oh the joy that floods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me and made me whole

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See, on the portals he's waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me

Come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, o sinner, come home

O for the wonderful love he has promised
Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me

So come home, come home
Ye who are weary come home
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, o sinner, come home

Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling
Calling, o sinner, come home

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes Jesus loves me,
for the Bible tells me so!

Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes Jesus loves me,
for the Bible tells me so!

Jesus loves me He will stay
Close besides me all the way
Thou has bled and died for me
I will henceforth live for Thee

Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes Jesus loves me,
for the Bible tells me so!

When peace, like a river, attended my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

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

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

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
And exchange it some day for a crown

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford

I need thee, oh, I need thee,
Every hour I need Thee
O Bless me now my Savior,
I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh

I need thee, oh, I need thee,
Every hour I need Thee
O Bless me now my Savior,
I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour in joy or pain
Come quickly and abide or life is in vain

I need thee, oh, I need thee,
Every hour I need Thee
O Bless me now my Savior,
I come to Thee

O Bless me now my Savior,
I come to Thee

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Some bright morning when this life is over, I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away,
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

(Take it away)

Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I'll fly away

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll, I'll fly away
To a land where joy will never end, I'll fly away
(One more time)
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away

I hear the savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in me thine all and all

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord, now indeed I find
They power and thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

And when before the throne
I stand in him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

That Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed me white as snow

Many years ago in days of childhood
I used to play till evenin' shadows come
Then windin' down an old familiar pathway
I heard my mother call at set of sun

Come home, come home it's suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home it's suppertime
We're going home at last

In visions now I see her standin' yonder
Her familiar voice I hear once more
She said the banquet table's ready up in Heaven
Its suppertime upon the golden shore

Come home, come home its suppertime
The shadows lengthen fast
Come home, come home its suppertime
We're going home at last
Child you're going home at last

A bright sunrise will contradict the heavy fault that weighs you down
In spite of all the funeral songs
The birds will make their joyful sounds
You wonder why the earth still moves
You wonder how you'll carry on
But you'll be okay on that first day when I'm gone
Dusk will come with fireflies and whippoorwill and crickets call
And every star will take its place
And silvery gown and purple shawl
You'll lie down in our big bed
Dread the dark and dread the dawn
But you'll be alright on that first night when I'm gone
You will reach for me in vain
You'll be whispering my name
As if sorrow were your friend
And this world so in the end
But life will call with daffodil
And morning glorious blue skies
You'll think of me some memory
And softly smile to your surprise
And even though you love me still
You will know where you belong
Just give it time well both be fine
When I'm gone
