He Loves Me Like I Was His Only Child
Trials Are Worth More Than Gold
1) Blind Bartimaeus stood by the wayside, begging
He cried out to Jesus, for he knew the chance he was taking
The crowd said, "Be quiet, don't bother Him now,"
But the more that they questioned, the louder he'd shout,
"Thou Son of David, have mercy on me"
And today, I believe he can see
Chorus:
He is more than enough to make a blind man to see
He's more than enough to guide you and me
He's more than enough to turn the water to wine,
And He's more than enough to feed a family like mine
He's more than enough to heal all disease
He's more than enough to wash sin out of me
If He can raise up the dead, and give them new life,
Then Jesus is more than enough
2) He said to the Lord, "My daughter is dying at home"
Then another man said, "She is dead, leave the Master alone"
When He heard what they said, His heart was grieved,
He said, "Be not afraid, only believe", then He spoke to the child,
"I say unto thee, 'Arise'", and I believe she's alive
Chorus
Tag: He can raise up the dead, and give them new life,
Then Jesus, He's more than enough!
1) She was standing in his room, tears streaming down her face
Wondering where the time had gone, what had happened in this place
She remembered all his toys, scattered on the floor
Oh, the pain when she realized he's never come home anymore
Chorus (with ending 1):
He had died for the cause of freedom,
He had given all that we might be free
Oh, let us thank God, for the
(1) mothers and the sons,
who sacrifice for liberty.
(2) husbands and the wives,
who sacrifice for liberty.
(3) giving of His Son,
the sacrifice for liberty.
2) She was rocking in the chair, the baby at her feet
Reading his last letter, his words of love so sweet
He said, "Honey, I can hardly wait, soon I'll be coming home,"
But he had died for liberty, and now she was alone.
Chorus (with ending 2)
3) God was looking down from Heav'n upon the world He made
His Son cried, "God, forgive them," oh what a price He paid
They had never been apart, but now He must forsake
And for the cause of liberty, this sacrifice He made
Chorus (with ending 3)
Tag: The sacrifice for you and me.
1) One dark night, down in Egypt, a fearful time had come
For a young Hebrew boy who was his father's firstborn son
With the angel of Death soon passing by, it was hard to fall asleep
And one little lamb was on his mind, as he lay there, counting sheep
He wondered why this young lamb had to die, why its blood was on the door
Through the wind and the rain, would it still remain? He wanted to be sure
So he called out to his father, with a trembling voice so scared
He said, "Father, please, will you look and see if the blood is still there?"
And he said,
Chorus:
"Son, now don't you worry, for the blood is there to stay
The winds may blow, and the rains may fall, but it just won't wash away.
The blood will stand the raging storm, it's been applied with loving care
Safe, secure, you can rest assured that the blood is still there."
2) Looking over all the damage the storm had left behind
There were endless questions, and doubts had filled my mind
And the fear that gripped my troubled soul brought me to my knees in prayer,
Crying, "Father, please, will you look and see if the Blood is still there?"
And he said,
Chorus
Tag: Safe, secure, you can rest assured that the blood is still there
1) I dreamed I went to Heaven, and you were there with me
We walked along the Street of Gold, beside the Crystal Sea
We heard the angels singing, and someone called your name
We turned to see this young man, and he was smiling as he came.
He said, "Friend, you may not know me now." Then he said, "But wait,
You used to teach my Sunday School when I was only eight.
And every week you'd say a prayer, before the class would start.
One day, when you said that prayer, I asked Jesus in my heart." And he said,
Chorus:
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am a life that was changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
I am so glad you gave.
2) Then another man stood before you, and said, "Remember the time
A missionary came to your church-- his pictures made you cry.
You didn't have much money, but you gave it anyway.
Jesus took that gift you gave, and that's why I'm here today."
Chorus
3) One by one, they came there, as far as the eye could see
Each one touched by your generosity
Little things that you had done, sacrifices made
Unnoticed down on earth, in Heaven now proclaimed
And I know that up in Heaven, we're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure there were tears in your eyes
As Jesus took your hand, and you stood before the Lord
He said, "Child, look around you, for great is your reward."
Chorus2-- (2x)
Thank you for giving to the Lord
We are lives that were changed
Thank you for giving to the Lord
We are so glad you gave
Tag: We are so glad you gave, we are so glad you gave
He Loves Me Like I Was His Only Child
1) My Father has a great big family
And there are many children besides me
If you're wondering how He divides His time,
Just let me say, I never stand in line
Chorus:
For He loves me like I was His only child
I never felt such love before, I could never ask for more
He loves me like I was His only child
God really loves me, yes, He really loves me,
He loves me like I was His only child
2) He never favors me above the rest
Oh, but I can't help but say that I am blessed
He treats me best, I so often say
But then, all my Father's children feel that way.
Tag: God really loves me, yes He really loves me,
He loves me like I was His only child
1) She took her hair, and dried the tears that fell upon his feet
My, how she loved her Master so
Her reputation--- less than pure, but only He could see
Her tears were for the day they'd lay Him low
Then in her hand, she held a vessel filled with sweet perfume
An exorbitant price, but she breaks the box, and its fragrance fills the room
Chorus:
What love, love that has no price
Asking nothing in return, the kind you give and don't think twice
What love, never holding one thing back
Such love that she would give the best she had,
What love
2) From a precious little baby, to a man of thirty-three
Down through the years, they watched Him grow
From a little town called Bethlehem, on to Calvary
Up that lonely hill, they watched Him go
What He felt inside His broken heart, God only knows
But when a hammer struck, a vessel broke, making that precious crimson flow
Chorus (omitting last line)
Tag:
What love, never holding one thing back,
Such love that we should give the best we have,
What love
Chorus:
He has put a song in my mouth
I'll sing it about
Now my soul is free, I can shout
He's put a song in my mouth
1) I once was alone and forsaked
I once had no song in my soul
But now I have Heavenly music
For Jesus has made me whole
Chorus
2) Now daily I find myself singing
Where once, only tears were my lot
I've so much for which to be thankful
By Jesus' own blood I am bought
Chorus
Bridge: He's put a song in my mouth
Descant1:
O be joyful, O be jubilant, put your sorrows all away
Come with me and sing together this happy day
Descant2:
O be joyful, O be joyful on this day
Descant3:
O be joyful, O be joyful
O be joyful, put your sorrows away
(Repeat Descant3)
Chorus
Tag: He's put a song in my mouth, He's put a song in my mouth
Trials Are Worth More Than Gold
1) When you see me crying and know of my pain
Don't say trusting God is in vain
He draws nearer to troubled souls
Trials are worth more than gold
Chorus:
Through fire and water, if that's where He leads
I am willing to go
If more like Jesus I'll be
Trials are worth more than gold
2) Sometimes I can tell I've come short of my goal
I can't touch the needs of men's souls
By His hand I am brought low
Trials are worth more than gold
3) Moses and Daniel and prophets of old
They were tried by Satan, I'm told
And Jesus walked that same road
Trials are worth more than gold
Chorus
Tag: If more like Jesus I'll be, trials are worth more than gold
1) He was dragged out to a rock-pile, on the outskirts of town
There nailed to a torturous rack, as mockers gathered 'round
A blackened sky spoke like thunder, as He finally bowed His head
He who had given life back hung there dead
Then his mama and some friends came to carry Him away
They were trying to speak the heartache that only tears could say
The sunset cast no shadows on the world's darkest day
Then with one last look, they laid Him in the grave
But,
Chorus:
I talked to Him today, and my cares all fell away
He made me feel like life had just begun
He said all of my trials can be turned into triumph
Through the victory that he's already won
Yes, I talked to Him today, and the comfort that He gave
He filled me with desire to tell the world
That on Calvary He dead, aright now He is alive
I know because I talked to Him today
2) Mary Magdalene came breathless to the room where Peter lay
He was searching through a broken heart, trying to find the faith to pray
As he heard her joyful story, his sorrow could not stay
And his hope sprang up to the words he heard her say
She said,
Chorus
Tag: That on Calvary He died, aright now He is alive, I know because I talked to Him today
