Hold fast your hope-Cling to it to the last God's gift is the enabling power to hold fast Hold fast your hope-Your will before Him cast For Christ renews our mind-With the desire to hold fast Hold fast to the Father Who holds your very tears He holds the world together and so we may draw near He holds onto your right hand firm unto the end Our hope is in our keeper- Held fast, hold on to Him Hold fast your hope Today ands in the past Yet he fulfills his will in us And sees our strength hold fast Hold fast your hope with assurance sure and vast Triumph exhorts us ever on And calls us to hold fast Hold fast to the Father Who holds your very tears He holds the world together And so we may draw near He holds onto your right hand Firm unto the end Our hope is in our keeper Held fast, hold on to Him Hebrews 3:6,14 Hebrews 6:18 Hebrews 10:23 Isaiah 41:13 Ps 56:8 Ps 121:5 Anthony Foster March 28, 2019

Look Away

We are shadows, we are echoes Craving praise and flaunting pride But the emptiness in our souls Will ne'er be satisfied. If we are getting pleasure From our own sufficiency And not seeking truer treasure Lord- we need to be set free Look away, look away, look away from your self Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your treasure and your wealth Look away, look away, look away from this world Look to Jesus Look to Jesus as your priceless pearl There is nothing more beyond, He is the end of our quest There is nothing better, Christ is all of the best...

I love to dwell in your sweet presence In the light of your glory to bask Hid with Christ in this holy residence Abide with me, dear Lord, is all I ask We are your temple Lord where you dwell richly We are the tabernacles of your grace Yours are the courts where we can all live boldly Here at your throne we see you face to face Here in your sweet sweet presence My poor soul is satisfied With blessings beyond all I ask or think At the free flowing fountain of grace I will drink And forevermore I will abide. We live in You you live in us As we hope and trust and confide, You fashion our clay and transform our dust As in your presence we abide. You are our pillar of cloud each day to guide us Pillar of fire, illuminate our night Lord to your wounded side you draw and hide us For you were pierced that we might see Your light! Here in your sweet sweet presence My poor soul is satisfied With blessings beyond all I ask or think At the free flowing fountain of grace I will drink And for...

It is not by power, not by might That the victories of this life are won It is walking in the Word of Light By the sword of the Spirit it is done By this sword the worldly flesh we kill By this sword we're protected in the war It will pierce our feelings and our will Through its precepts, the battle is the Lord’s Your word I have hidden in my heart That I might not sin against You Your word I have hidden in my heart For Your word is faithful and true Your word you have written on my heart My name you have written on your hand By your word a living way you chart That your child can begin to understand A lamp to my feet and to my path, a light Dividing bone and marrow, defining wrong and right Giving wisdom to the foolish And to blind men giving sight Your word, Lord, your word Your word I have hidden in my heart That I might not sin against You Your word I have hidden in my heart For your word is faithful and true Your word you have written on my heart My name you have written on yo...
