 Jesus, I Come


G                     C        G
Out of my bondage, sorrow, and night,
         D              G
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
                   C            G
Into Thy freedom, gladness, and light,
         D7      G
Jesus, I come to Thee;
C                            G
Out of my sickness, into Thy health,
D                  A7       D7
Out of my want and into Thy wealth,
G                 C       G
Out of my sin and into Thyself,
         D7      G
Jesus, I come to Thee.


Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress to jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into Thy blessèd will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Out of despair into raptures above,
Upward for aye on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the joy and light of Thy throne,
Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

JESUS, HOLD MY HAND

The chorus is in two parts, which should be sung by two people together -
lots of fun to do.


This is a hand-clapper.  Do it at about 240 beats per minute.


(Verse 1)
As I travel thru this pilgrim land,
There is a friend who walks with me
Leads me safely thru the sinking sand
It is the Christ of Calvary
This would be my prayer, dear lord, each day
To help me do the best I can
For i need thy light to guide me day and night
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.


(Chorus 1st part)
Jesus, hold my hand
I need thee every hour
Thru this pilgrim land
Protect me by thy power.
Hear my feeble plea
O lord, look down on me,
When I kneel in prayer
I hope to meet you there
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand


(chorus 2nd part)
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand,
Yes, I need thee every hour.
Thru this land, this pilgrim land
By Thy saving power.
Hear my plea, my feeble plea,
Lord, dear lord look down on me
When I kneel prayer,
Blessed Jesus hold my hand.


(verse 2)
Let me travel in the light divine
That I may see the blessed way.
Keep me that I may be wholly thine
And sing redemption’s song some day.
I will be a soldier brave and true
And ever firmly take a stand
As i onward go and daily meet the foe
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.


(verse 3)
When I wander thru the valley dim
Toward the setting of the sun.
Lead me safely to a land of rest
If I a crown of life have won.
I have put my faith in thee, dear lord
That I may reach the golden strand.
There’s no other friend on whom I can depend,
Blessed Jesus, hold my hand.
