Take Our Lives and Let Them Be

Take our lives, and let them be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take our moments and our days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take our hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take our feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take our voice, and let us sing
Always, only, for our King;
Take our lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.

Take our silver and my gold;
Not a mite would we withhold;
Take our intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take our wills, for they are Yours;
No more are they simply ours.
For our hearts are e'er Thine own
They are Now Thy royal throne,
They are now Thy royal throne.

Take our love; oh Lord, we pour
At Thy feet our treasure-store.
Take our lives, and we will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

We Love to Tell the Story

We love to tell the story of Israel and God's Love, 
of Jesus and his glory, of The Father up above.  
We love to tell the story, because we know 'tis true; 
He's satisfied our longings as no one else can do.  
Refrain:
We love to tell the story, it is our theme of glory, 
to tell the old, old story of the Father and his love.

We love to tell the story; more wonderful indeed
than all the golden fancies of all the golden streets.  
We love to tell the story, He Lived to bring us near. 
and that is just the reason we tell it now so dear.  
(Refrain)

We love to tell the story, it is our theme of glory, 
to tell the old, old story of the Father and his love.
We love to tell the story; 'tis music to our ears for now, each time we tell it, He calms our deepest fears. We love to tell the story, it tells us of His Word
And how He came from Heaven, to comfort those on Earth.
(Refrain)

We love to tell the story, it is our theme of glory, 
to tell the old, old story of the Father and his love.
We love to tell the story, for though we know it well we love to oft rehearse it, the Father's love to tell. And now, in realms of glory, we sing the new, new song, for 'tis the old, old story that we have loved so long.
(Refrain)

We love to tell the story, it is our theme of glory, 
to tell the old, old story of the Father and his love.

Resting in the Everlasting Arms

What a fellowship, what a joy we share,
  Resting in the Everlasting Arms!
What a blessedness, what a peace is there,
  Resting in the Everlasting Arms!


Resting, Resting,
Safe and secure from all alarm;
  Resting, Resting
 Resting in the Everlasting Arms.

O how sweet to walk on this King's Highway
  Resting in the Everlasting Arms!
O how bright our path grows from day to day,
  Resting in the Everlasting Arms!

Resting, Resting,
Safe and secure from all alarm;
  Resting, Resting
 Resting in the Everlasting Arms.

What have we to dread, what have we to fear,
 Resting in the Everlasting Arms!
We have peace complete in our Lord so dear,
 Resting in the Everlasting Arms!

Resting, Resting,
Safe and secure from all alarm;
  Resting, Resting
 Resting in the Everlasting Arms.

Where We Belong

Sometimes it feels like I'm watching from the outside
Sometimes it feels like I can't breathe, but I know I'm alive
I'll just keep searching for answers that I know are yet to be found

All I know is we're at home here
This is sure where We belong
He took this world and gave it to us
This is sure where we belong

And when the walls are falling down around us
And it seems we're lost in the current of a raging sea
We have this blessed assurance, re-ality 

All I know is We're at home here
This is sure where we belong
He took this world and gave it to us
This is sure where we belong

When the idols fall; we'll be sa-fe, in You
When their light fades; we will re-st, in You

All I know is We're at home here
This is sure where we belong
He took this world and gave it to us
This is sure where we belong
[x2]

Where we belong, where we belong
Where we belong, where we belong

We shall love, oh Lord, with our lives!

Break Lord the Bread of Life

You broke the Bread of Life, for us did die,
When on the cross you hung, our sacri-fice;
Beyond the written page, we seek You Lord,
Our spirits live through You, O Living Word!

You blessed the Truth to us, Lord now we see,
For You did break our chains and set us free;
Now does our bondage cease, all fetters fall,
Now we have found our peace, our All in All!

You are the Bread of Life, Wine on the lee,
Your Word the very Truth that set us free,
Gave us to eat and drink, with You above,
Taught us to love in Truth, for You are Love!

Your Spirit dwells with us, Your Temple we,
For He did touch our eyes, and now we see,
Showed us the truth concealed, within Your Word,
And in our lives revealed, they see the Lord!

For Joy Our Blessed Savior Died

For joy our blessed Savior died; He died to set us free,
God sent His Son to save us all, His pe-ople to redeem!

'Twas for the sin of Adam's race, He died upon the tree,
Amazing pity, Grace unknown, and Lo-ve beyond degree!

Then did the sun in darkness hide, and show His shame no more,
Thus now we show our gratefulness, when glor-ies thus we face!

No more we hide our radiant face, when our own cross appears,
He has revealed His heart to us, and took a-way our tears!

For drops of grief will ne'er repay, the debt to Love we owe,
So Lord, we give our lives to you, 'tis all that we can do!
