  • Take the World but Give Me Jesus

    VERSE 1
    Take the world, but give me Jesus,
    All it’s joys are but a name;
    For His love abideth ever,
    through eternal years the same

    VERSE 2
    Take the world but give me Jesus,
    Sweetest comforts of my soul;
    With my Savior watching over me,
    I can sing though billows roll

    VERSE 3
    Take the world by give me Jesus,
    Let me view His constant smile;
    Then throughout this life’s long journey,
    He will lead me all the while

    VERSE 4
    Take the world, but give me Jesus.
    In His cross my trust shall be,
    Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
    Face to face my Lord I see!

    CHORUS
    Take the world, but give me Jesus! (repeat 4x)

    BRIDGE
    Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
    Oh the length and breadth of love!
    Oh, the fullness of redemption
    Oh the Pledge of endless life above! (repeat 2x)

  • The Love of God

    VERSE 1
    The love of God is greater far,
    than tongue or pen can ever tell
    It goes beyond the highest star,
    and reaches to the lowest hell
    The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
    God gave His only Son to win
    His erring child He reconciled,
    you and I pardoned from our sin.

    CHORUS
    Oh, love of God, how rich and pure,
    it shall forevermore endure
    How measureless and strong
    The saints’ and angels’ song we sing “Holy! Holy!” 

    VERSE 2
    When ancient time shall pass away,
    and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
    When men here refuse to pray,
    and on rocks, hills and mountains call
    God’s love so sure, will still endure,
    all measureless and strong
    “Redeeming grace to Adam’s race”
    shall be the saints’ and angels’ song.

    BRIDGE
    Could we with ink the ocean fill,
    and were the skies of parchment made
    Were every stalk on earth a quill,
    and every man a scribe by trade
    To write the love of God above,
    would drain the ocean dry;
    Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
    though stretched from sky to sky.
