Many miles now lie behind me
Since I started at the Cross
There sin's heavy load
My guilt and shame I lost
There I found a Friend in Jesus
Hand in hand we walk each day
He is guiding me to heaven
From His side I'll never stray

I'm too far from where I started
And too close to where I'm going
To think of ever turning around
For my eyes are fixed on Jesus
And I love this narrow Way
This 'ole world holds no attraction
I'm heaven bound

As I walk this road towards Heaven
By the eye of faith I see
All the things God is preparing just for me
Oh, I would not want to miss it
When Christ my Lord is crowned
This one thing I have determined
I will never turn around

I'm too far from where I started
And too close to where I'm going
To think of ever turning around
For my eyes are fixed on Jesus
And I love this narrow Way
This 'ole world holds no attraction
I'm heaven bound

I love the the Lord, he heard my cry
And pitied every groan, long as I, I live
And troubles rise, I hasten to his throne

Chorus:
Oh, I love the Lord
I sure do, surely do love the Lord
He heard, he heard my cry
And pitied every groan, yes he did
Every groan
Long as I live, long as I, I live
And troubles rise, troubles rise
I hasten to to to to to
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne
I'll hasten to his throne hold on hold on
Tears are streaming down my eyes
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne

Yes I will, I'll run
I know I can go to his throne
I know I can go, I know I can go
I'll hasten, I'm gonna run
I know I can go, I know I can go
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne

See I can run, Lord you know I will
When there is nowhere to go I know I can go to you
I know I can run to you oh
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his, his throne
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll hasten, hasten to his throne
Surely gonna be here

I often sing this to the Lord when I'm alone. Oh what power in such few words. Jesus truly is faithful!

"Sheltered in the Arms of God"

I love the chorus!!!!

One of my favorites, too.

1)
I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender
They're leading me in paths that I must trod
I'll have no fear for Jesus walks beside me
And I'm sheltered in the arms of God

CHO
So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise
They won't worry me
For I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God
He walks with me and naught of earth can harm me
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God

2)
Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals
Come home my child, it's the last mile you must trod
I'll fall asleep and wake in God's new heaven
I'll be sheltered in the arms of God

[HADDOCK]

I love this thread! Some of these old songs I haven't thought of in years.

This song has been a favorite of mine for many years. I hope you enjoy the video. This was the first video that Bill Gaither produced of these fine folks.

Bro. Chosen,

Thank you for posting this song. I sang it three or four years ago

at my late father in law's funeral. It was also sung in 1970 at our

little five and a half year old daughter's funeral. The words have

tremendeous meaning and comfort to me personally.

Blessings,

(recorded by Lauren Talley)

1)
My cup is full my heart is overflowing
I've been blessed in ways my mind can't comprehend
And when I think your hand of love has given me enough
You reach down and touch me once again.


cho)
With so much more than I could ever ask you for
More than I dreamed you had in store for me, it's hard to see
Oh, Lord how you could possibly give more
More than my heart's desire
Much more than love requires of you, for all you do
I worship and adore you even more.


2) If all that you had given me was mercy
A chance to live when I deserved to die
Lord, that would have been enough
But out of your great love
You poured out your grace in limitless supply

CHO)
And gave me more than I could ever ask you for
More than I dreamed you had in store for me, it's hard to see
Oh, Lord how you could possibly give more
More than my heart's desire
Much more than love requires of you, for all you do
I worship and adore you even more.

BRIDGE)
As long as there is breath in me and life left to live
I will forever be amazed at how you give and give and give

So much more than I could ever ask you for
More than I dreamed you had in store for me, it's hard to see
Oh, Lord how you could possibly give more
More than my heart's desire
Much more than love requires of you, for all you do
I worship and adore you even more.

Beautiful Lord, Wonderful savior
I know for sure all of my days are held in your hands
Crafted into your perfect plans

You gently called me into your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord to live all of my life
Through your eyes

I'm captured by your holy calling
Set me apart. I know you're drawing me to yourself
lead me, Lord. I pray

Oh Take me, mold me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the potter's hand

Oh Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the potter's hand

You gently call me into your presence
Guiding me by your holy spirit
Teach me dear lord to live all of my life through your eyes

I'm captured by your holy calling
Set me apart. I know you're drawing me to yourself
lead me, Lord. I pray

Oh Take me, mold me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the potter's hand

Oh Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the potter's hand

Okay, I'm new to AFF and I'm too tired to figure out how to get the actual YouTube video to embed in here, so here's the link...

Bring The Rain - MercyMe

I LOVE this song!!!! I think I sing it every day to myself. And it is my prayer... Jesus, bring the rain \o/ .... goes along with the song.... "Refresh me oh Lord with living water! Refresh me oh Lord I pray! Cleanse and make me new, my heart belongs to You. Take me to the fountain of Your grace. Refresh me Lord I pray!" Which takes my thoughts into... "Living waters flow. From the depths of my soul. Rivers deep within. Cleansing me from all sin. And when it feels like my strength is gone. And I need something to carry on. That's when I draw from the well, then I can tell that it begins all over again. Living waters flow. ... Flowing, flowing! Rivers are flowing..." mmmm love it! \o/



Verse
I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Chorus
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

Verse
I am Yours regardless of
The clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

repeat chorus

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Is the Lord God Almighty
