Creed

  I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and maker of earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, And the paradox of the begotten's birth. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit And born of the virgin Mary  He suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, died, and was buried; Of the things that I believe I now sing Cause what I believe changes everything Of the things that I believe I now sing Cause what I believe changes everything        He descended into the Grave - The third day  from the dead he rose again  He ascended to heaven and is seated  At God the Father Almighty’s right hand From there He will come to judge the living, And he will come to judge the dead  I believe in the Holy Spirit, and the True Church of which Christ is head     Of the things that I believe I now sing Cause what I believe changes everything Of the things that I believe I now sing Cause what I believe changes eve...

Tell it to the Lord

What a Friend we have in Jesus,   All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry   Everything to God in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful   Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness,   Take it to the Lord in prayer. Jesus knows our every need Before the throne He’ll intercede Lift up all your tears and fear He will answer and draw near. He is such a friend Faithful to the end Tell it to the Lord And He will hear. Have we trials and temptations?   Is there trouble anywhere? Saint, whenever you're discouraged,   Take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy-laden,   Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge—   Take it to the Lord in prayer; Jesus knows our every need Before the throne He’ll intercede Lift up all your tears and fear He will answer and draw near. He is such a friend Faithful to the end Tell it to the Lord And He will hear. Original lyrics-Joseph Scriven Chorus and mu...
