Some Songs We Sing

If you plan to come to the next Sing for Life event, look over the lyrics of some of these songs and be ready to sing them. We don't have time to sing them all but we get through a lot of them. If you can think of any other hymns or songs that would be effective in reaching the people going into the abortion mill, let us know and we'll try to include them.

If you need to brush up on the music there are some marvelous websites that feature melody lines and lyrics. One of the better ones is The Cyber Hymnal™.

If you play an instrument, particularly piano or guitar, we can use your help.

Finally, if you're part of a choir and members of your group would like to do a special presentation, let us know.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

1. A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and pow'r are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

2. Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He:
Lord Sabaoth His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

3. And tho this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph thru us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo, his doom is sure:
One little word shall fell him.

4. That word above all earthly pow'rs,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Thru him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also:
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

Abide With Me

1. Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide,
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide!
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day,
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see,
O Thou who changest not, abide with me!

3. I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Thru cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!

Ah, Lord God (Jer 32:17)

1. Ah, Lord God, Thou hast made the heav'ns and the earth by Thy great power.
Ah, Lord God, Thou hast made the heav'ns and the earth by Thine outstretched arm.
Nothing is too difficult for Thee.
Nothing is too difficult for Thee.
Great and mighty God (clap, clap),
Great in counsel and mighty in deed.
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing,
Nothing is too difficult for Thee.

Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all;

On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,

We at His feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,

Amazing Grace

1. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.

2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed.

3. Thru many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

4. When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we first begun.

Praise God, praise God, praise God...

At the Cross

1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?

For such a worm as I?

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature's sin.

The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away
'Tis all that I can do!

Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth living
Just because He lives.

But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days
Because Christ lives.

Praising my Savior all the day long.

Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

How Can I Keep From Singing?

Above earth's lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation:
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;

While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it:
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing:
All things are mine since I am His--
How can I keep from singing?

Daily walking close with Thee,

But that Thy blood was shed for me,

To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,

With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Out of the angry waves.

Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows where
On they go through private pain
Living fear to fear

To a world where wrong seems right
What could be too great a cost for
Sharing life with one who's lost
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear

Only we can share

People need the Lord

When I read about the part where a carpenter cleared the temple.
For the buyers and sellers were no diff'rent fellas than what I profess to be
And it causes me pain to know I'm not the man that I should be.

But he showed me enough of what it takes to get you through.

Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger, an endless, aching need

It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance
It's the one, who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

And they say that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose.

In the light of His glory and grace.

2. Thru death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more has dominion
For more than conq'rors we are!

Chorus:

3. His word shall not fail you He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Victory in Jesus

1. I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.

Chorus:
O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever!
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him--
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.

2. I heard about His healing, of His cleansing pow'r revealing,
How He made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,"
And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory.

Chorus:

3. I heard about the mansion He has built for me in glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea,
About the angels singing and the old redemption story;
And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory.

We Gather Together

1. We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing:
Sing praises to His name; He forgets not His own.

2.Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning:
Thou, Lord, wast at our side: all glory be thine!

3. We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,
And pray that thou still our defender wilt be;
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation:
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Were You There

1. Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble!
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

2. Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble!
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

3. Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble!
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

4. Were you there when He rose up from the dead?
Were you there when He rose up from the dead?
O! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble!
Were you there when He rose up from the dead?

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!

2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.

What a Mighty God We Serve

What a mighty God we serve!
What a mighty God we serve!
Angles bow before Him,
Heav'n and earth adore Him,
What a mighty God we serve! (Repeat)

Where Could I Go?

1. Living below in this old sinful world,
Hardly a comfort can afford;
Striving alone to face temptations sore,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Chorus:
Where could I go, O where could I go,
Seeking a refuge for my soul?
Needing a friend to help me in the end,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

2. Neighbors are kind, I love them ev'ry one,
We get along in sweet accord;
But when my soul need manna from above,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Chorus:

3. Life here is grand with friends I love so dear,
Comfort I get from God's own Word?
Yet when I face the chilling hand of death,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Yes, God Is Real

1. There are some things I may not know,
There are some places I can't go,
But I am sure of this one thing
That God is real, for I can feel Him deep within.

Chorus:
Yes, God is real, real in my soul;
Yes, God is real, for He has washed and made me whole;
His love for me is like pure gold,
Yes, God is real, for I can feel Him in my soul.

2. Some folk may doubt, some folk may scorn
All can desert and leave me alone;
But as for me I'll take God's part
For God is real and I can feel Him in my heart.

Chorus:

3. I cannot tell just how you felt
When Jesus took your sins away;
But since that day, yes, since that hour
God has been real for I can feel His holy pow'r.

Chorus:
