Chorus 271 - 275

271       (G)

Burdens now are lighter, brighter is my way
It is such a joy to walk with Him
When this journey here is o'er
I'll set my feet on heaven's shore,
Eternity all joy will just begin.
Chorus:


O glory, glory hallelujah
Praise the Lord today I know I'm free.
He is with me, and if I stay close to Him
Safe from harm and danger I will be.


2) When my Jesus saved me,
Washed my sins away
Cast them in the bottom of the sea
Picked me up, turned me around
Set my feet on higher ground
Now I'm walking happy, glad and free.


272 (Bb) MP 496

Like the woman at the well, I was seeking
For things that would not satisfy
And then I heard my Saviour speaking
Draw from my well that never shall run dry.
Chorus:
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul
Bread of heaven, fill me till I want no more
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole.


2) There are millions in this world
Who are seeking
The pleasures earthly things afford
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.


3) So my brother if the things,
This world gave you
Leave a hunger that just won't pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you
If you will kneel, to Him and humbly pray

 

273          (Db)

Chorus:
I'll see you in the rapture,
See you in the rapture,
I'll see you at that meeting in the air
There with our blessed Saviour
We'll live and reign forever
I'll see you in the rapture some sweet day.


1) If we never meet again,
On this earth my precious friend
If to God you have been true
And lived above all sin,
Then for us there'll be a greeting,
For there's going to be a meeting,
I'll see you in the rapture some sweet day.
 

2) To my loved ones let me say,
There will surely come a day
When the Lord will come again
And catch His Bride away.
So get ready now to meet Him
And with hallelujahs greet Him,
I'll see you in the rapture
Some sweet day.

 

274 (Bb) MP 373

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.
        Yes, God is real, He's real in my soul
       My God is real
       For He has cleansed and made me whole
       His love for me, is like pure gold,
       My God is real
       For I can feel Him in my soul.


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


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 power.


275 (Ab) RH 770

In these, the closing days of time,
What joy, the glorious hope affords,
That soon, O wondrous truth sublime,
He shall reign King of Kings
And Lord of Lords.

            He's coming soon, He's coming soon;
           With joy we welcome His returning
          It may be morn, it may be night or noon,
          We know He's coming soon.


2) The signs around in earth and air,
Or painted on the starlit sky,
God's faithful witnesses declare
That the coming of the Saviour,
Draweth nigh.


3) The dead in Christ who 'neath us lie,
In countless numbers all shall rise
When through the portals of the sky,
He shall come to prepare our paradise.


4) And we who living yet remain,
Caught up, shall meet our faithful Lord;
This hope we cherish not in vain,
But we comfort one another by this Word.
