Come, every soul by sin oppressed,
there's mercy with the Lord;
and he will surely give you rest,
by trusting in his Word.
Refrain:
Only trust him, only trust him,
only trust him now.
He will save you, he will save you,
he will save you now.
For Jesus shed his precious blood
rich blessings to bestow;
plunge now into the crimson flood
that washes bright as snow. (Refrain)
Yes, Jesus is the truth the way
that leads you into rest;
believe in him without delay,
and you are fully blest.
(Refrain)
A Hymn is a Slice of Faith
At Ever Praise Music we believe that a hymn is a slice of faith,
written by ordinary people, for ordinary people,
on an extraordinary journey.
God has gifted countless numbers of people with songs
in their hearts. They shared their lyrics and melodies with us
in the form of sacred hymns. Take a closer look at one of these sacred hymns and you will find encouragement for your daily
walk of faith. Peruse the titles of a sacred hymnal and you will find clues as to the slice of someone's faith journey found in the hymn.
Hymns are examples of the spiritual fruit produced by ordinary people, for ordinary people, on an extraordinary journey.
This spiritual fruit, or faith fruit, is written by everyday people
who walked where we walk, felt what we have felt,
and often did what we have done. These hymns can encourage
us on our journey, lead us around obstacles,
teach us how to serve our neighbor, help us stand
against principalities and powers,
share with us the praise and glory of the Lord, and witness
to all of us about the goodness and mercy of Almighty God.>>>
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound,
and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather
over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Refrain:
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

A Mighty Fortress is Our God
Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

An Inspiring Story of Faith and Hope...
"Billy Graham: An Extraordinary Journey"
A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide,
our striving would be losing,
were not the right man on our side,
the man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth, his name,
from age to age the same,
and he must win the battle.

We Are One Body
Jesus Taught Us...
...That there is evil in the world, but He didn't dwell on it.
Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10
He chose the twelve disciples so that we could hear
the good news from many different perspectives.
The apostles who preached and wrote the books of the
New Testament wrote from different perspectives as well.
We should not declare one Gospel message
as superior to the others.
The Four Gospels teach us, in the broader sense,
that these eyewitnesses wrote the same message,
described the same story of the life of Jesus Christ,
but spoke to us from four different perspectives.
So many teachers of our present day, critique the good news
preached by others from a different perspective.
The Bible says "he that hath an ear, let him hear..."
The Holy Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow..>>>(read more)
We all do extol thee,
thou leader triumphant,
and pray that thou still
our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation
escape tribulation;
thy name be ever praised!
O Lord, make us free!
Daniel Chapter 12
1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth
for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble,
such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:
and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
- We Gather Together #471:43
We gather together
to ask the Lord's blessing;
he chastens and hastens
his will to make known.
The wicked oppressing
now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to his name,
he forgets not his own.
Beside us to guide us,
our God with us joining,
ordaining, maintaining
his kingdom divine;
so from the beginning
the fight we were winning;
thou, Lord, wast at our side,
all glory be thine!
- Only Trust Him #1462:09
On that bright and cloudless morning
when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather
to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. (Refrain)
Let us labor for the Master
from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
Then when all of life is over,
and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. (Refrain)
Psalm 67
5 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God,
shall bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.

And though this world,
with devils filled,
should threaten to undo us,
we will not fear, for God hath willed

The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;
his rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure;
one little word shall fell him.

John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

I am clinging, clinging close... to Thee;
Let Thy precious blood applied,
Keep me ever, ever near.... Thy side.

Let me feel thy cleansing pow'r;

Lead me gently, gently as... I go;
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
I can never, never lose...my way. (Refrain)
Let me love Thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting life... is o'er;
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world... above.(Refrain)
