appsdope:
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eyes is on the sparrow

My favourite too though this is the chorus, the first verse is:

Why should I be discouraged,
Why should my shadows come
Why should my heart be lonely
and long for heaven and home,
when Jesus is my portion
My constant friend is he
His eyes is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me

Mine is
What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer

Thank you. We are on the same page

There is a green hill far away,
without a city wall,
where our Dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
We may - we may not know,
We Can't- we cannot tell,
What pains- what pains he had to bear
But we- but we believe
It was- it was for us
He hung- He hung and suffered there

#Happy Sunday

Jesus my saviour is all things to me

Mighty deliverer Jesus for me.

Take me, deeper in love with you

Hold me, closer in love with you

A raging tempest only you can still

Lord quench my thirst and fill my soul........

it pays to serve Jesus I speak from my heart
He'll always be with us if we do our part
there's nothing in this wide world can pleasure afford
there's peace and contentment in serving the Lord
God bless you

Forgive our foolish ways

In deeper reverence praise

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood

This is my Story
This is my song
Praising my saviour
All the day long....

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the LORD,
HE is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
HE had loosed the fateful lightning of HIS terrible swift sword,
HIS truth is marching on!

hello bro.
I don't really know which melodies of praise in particular have the song. I kinda lost the song book when we were moving to our new place. but I knew the song way back in primary school. primary 3 or so. we had two black boards then. front and back. and every Wednesday, our teacher writes a new song for us to learn on the back board then we'll turn our chairs and sing along. loved it when we first sang it especially the last part. . 'he hung- he hung and suffered there' me and my friends then usually wait for that part because of the way the 'he hung' sounded. lol. then we'll scream it. hehehe smiley

but just Google the MP3 and full lyrics. good stuff

Abide with me: fast falls the even-tide ;
The darkness deepens ; Lord, with me abide :
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me !

2.
Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day ;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away ;
Change and decay in all around I see ;
O Thou, who changest not, abide
with me !

3.
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings ;
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings ;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea ;
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

4.
I need Thy presence every passing hour ;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power ?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be ?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me !

5.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless :
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness :
Where is death's sting ? where, grave, thy victory ?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

6.
Be Thou Thyself before my closing eyes ;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies ;
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee ;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me !



dis song has been a source of inspiration and comfort to me when I lost my Dad. God bless the writter

Yea. Things have rapidly degenerated especially in Christianity. The calmness of services and the joy it brings has been wiped away by the noise and disorderliness that pervades our churches these days

These mushroom pentecostal churches don't even use hymns again.. they have degraded Christianity into a noise making house.. no peace in worship, it's insanity..

Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
With healing in His wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.

In holy contemplation
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say—
E’en let the unknown morrow
Bring with it what it may.

I can't say which one is my favorite. So many.

1. Aigbagbo, bila ! temi l’ Oluwa,
On o si dide fun Igbala mi;
Ki nsa ma gbadura, On o se ranwo;
‘Gba Krist wa lodo mi, ifoiya ko si.

Another one
Mo ti seleri, Jesu,
Lati sin O dopin;
Ma wa lodo mi titi,
Baba mi, Ore mi.
Emi k’ yo beru ogun,
B’ iwo ba sunmo mi,
Emi ki y’o si sina,
B’ o ba f’ona han mi.

Another one
Ojo nla l’ ojo ti mo yan
Olugbala l’ Olorun mi:
O ye ki okan mi ma yo,
K’o sir o ihin na ka ‘le.
Ojo nla l’ ojo na!
Ti Jesu we ese mi nu;
O ko mi ki mma gbadura,
Kim ma sora, ki nsi ma yo.
Ojo nla l’ ojo na!
Ti Jesu we ese mi nu.


Too many hymns coming through my mind right now. Old rugged cross,

Take all my guilt away
Oh let me from this day be wholly thine
Re: Share The First Verse Of Your Favorite Christian Hymn by batxano: 3:12pm On Feb 19, 2018
I love this hymn. tears roll dwn my eyes whenever i sing this hymn. I'm feeling so emotional right now cry
Agbaletu:
I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Well....although this is not my favorite, favorite hymn, it is very powerful, simple and really reminds and humbles me (about life) when I sing it.
In light of the daily and numerous tragedies there in Nigeria and elsewhere, the month(s) old Hurricane destruction in Florida and the Carolinas, and the very colossal fire crisis in California, etc.
I hum this hymn and encourage others to do the same:

Verse 1
"When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done"

Chorus
"Count your blessings
Name them one by one
Count your blessings
See what God has done
Count your blessings
Name..them..ONE..by....ONE
Count your many blessings
See what God has done"



The hymn is named "Count Your Blessings" for those who may want to hear the entire hymn...
Be encouraged.
