I have no doubt in my mind that it is this song: JESUS ONLY IS OUR MESSAGE (1 Cor. 2:2) by Albert B. Simpson Jesus only is our message, Jesus all our theme shall be, We will lift up Jesus ever, Jesus only will we see. Jesus only, Jesus ever, Jesus all in all we sing; Saviour, Sanctifier, Healer, Baptizer and coming King. Jesus only is our Savior, All our guilt He bore away, All our righteousness He gives us, All our streght from day to day. Jesus is our Sanctifier, Cleasing us from self and sin, And with all His Spirit's fulness, Filling all our heart's within. Jesus only is our Healer, All our sicknesses He bare, And His risen fulness, All His members still may share. Jesus only is our Power, His the gift of Pentecost, Jesus, breathe Thy power upon us, Fill us with the Holy Ghost. And for Jesus we are waiting, Listening for the Trumpet's sound, Then it will be us and Jesus, Living ever with our God. Jesus is ALL IN ALL, and that is the whole essence of Christianity. Praise be to God. 1 Like |

ignis:the bible no doubt is the pilot, essence, foundation,revelation and perfection of Christianity. Christian hymns and songs on the same hand are spirit inspired and conveys deep spiritual insights that when you pay close attention to and meditate uncarnally upon you discover greater meaning to the Christian faith. Just like the bible, sermons and testimonies, they recharge our belief and draw us into greater and fulfilling relationship nd experience with God . 5 Likes |

For me it's the Old Rugged Cross by George Bernard On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suff’ring and shame; And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best For a world of lost sinners was slain. Refrain: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown. Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above To bear it to dark Calvary. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see, For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away, Where His glory forever I’ll share. In other words you take nothing but everything you do has to reflect his mercy, his love, his kindness, and his sacrifice. Do not be weary do not lose hope do not contemplate suicide you will exchange it all for a Crown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOmipqhQBOM 5 Likes |

THE CHURCH'S ONE FOUNDATION 1 The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word. From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth; her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder the world see her oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up: “How long?” and soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore, till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we like them, the meek and lowly, may live eternally. 2 Likes |

IT PAYS TO SERVE JESUS Frank C. Huston(1909) It pays to serve Jesus It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart, He'll always be with us, if we do our part, There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford; There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord. Chorus: I love Him for better than in days of yore, I'll serve Him more truly than ever before, I'll do as He bids me whatever the cost, I'll be a good soldier, I'll die at my post. And oft when I'm tempted to turn from the track, I think of my Savior, my mind wanders back To the place where there nailed Him on Calvary's tree. I heard a voice saying, "I suffered for thee." A place I remember where I was set free, T'was where I found pardon, a heaven for me; There Jesus spoke sweetly to my soul, My sins are forgiven, He made my heart whole. How rich is the blessing the world cannot give, I'm satisfied fully for Jesus to live; Though friends may forsake me and trial arise, I am trusting Jesus, His love never dies. There is no one like Jesus can cheer me today, His love and His kindness can ne'er fade away; In winter and summer, In sunshine and rain, His love and affection are always the same. Will you have this blessing that Jesus bestows, A free full salvation from sin's bitter throes? O come to the Savior, to Calvary flee, The fountain is opened, is flowing for thee. 1 Like |

Not related to topic but we Christians more than often blame Muslims for using the sword to spread their religion. I think Christianity has done the same, this below popular Christian hymn sounds like a war cry to me... Stand up, stand up for Jesus! ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high His royal banner, it must not suffer loss: From vict’ry unto vict’ry, His army shall He lead, Till every foe is vanquished, and Christ is Lord indeed. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! The trumpet call obey: Forth to the mighty conflict, in this His glorious day; Ye that are men now serve Him against unnumbered foes; Let courage rise with danger, and strength to strength oppose. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! Stand in His strength alone, The arm of flesh will fail you, ye dare not trust your own; Put on the gospel armor, and watching unto prayer, Where calls the voice of duty, be never wanting there. Stand up, stand up for Jesus! the strife will not be long; This day the noise of battle, the next the victor’s song; To him that overcometh a crown of life shall be; He with the King of glory shall reign eternally. 1 Like |

[b]HOLD THY FORT! Ho, my comrades, see the signal, Waving in the sky! Reinforcements now appearing, Victory is nigh. "Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven, By thy grace we will." See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on, Mighty men around us falling, Courage almost gone! "Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven, By thy grace we will." See the glorious banner waving, Hear the trumpet blow! In our Leader's name we'll triumph, Over every foe. "Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven, By thy grace we will." Fierce and long the battle rages, But our help is near, Onward comes our great Commander, Cheer, my comrades, cheer. "Hold the fort, for I am coming," Jesus signals still; Wave the answer back to heaven, By thy grace we will." 2 Likes |
