slide 2 January, 2011All The Way My Savior Leads MeAll the way my Savior leads me;What have I to ask beside?Can I doubt His tender mercy,Who through life has been my Guide?Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,Here by faith in Him to dwell!For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well;For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well.All the way my Savior leads me,Cheers each winding path I tread;Gives me grace for every trial,Feeds me with the living Bread.Though my weary steps may falter,And my soul athirst may be,Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see;Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see.All the way my Savior leads meO the fullness of His love!Perfect rest to me is promisedIn my Father’s house above.When my spirit, clothed immortal,Wings its flight to realms of dayThis my song through endless ages—Jesus led me all the way;This my song through endless ages—Jesus led me all the way. -- Fanny Crosby (1820-1915)

slide 3 February, 2011This Is My Father’s WorldThis is my Father’s world, and to my listening earsAll nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thoughtOf rocks and trees, of skies and seas;His hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;He speaks to me everywhere.This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forgetThat though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,And earth and Heav’n be one. –– --Maltbie D. Babcock (1858-1901)

slide 4 March, 2011Joyful, Joyful, We Adore TheeJoyful, joyful, we adore Thee,God of glory, Lord of love;Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee,Op’ning to the sun above.Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;Drive the dark of doubt away;Giver of immortal gladness,Fill us with the light of day! All Thy works with joy surround Thee,Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays,Stars and angels sing around Thee,Center of unbroken praise.Field and forest, vale and mountain,Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,Singing bird and flowing fountainCall us to rejoice in Thee. –– Henry van Dyke (1852-1933)

slide 5 April, 2011Come, Thou Fount of Every BlessingCome, Thou Fount of every blessing,Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;Streams of mercy, never ceasing,Call for songs of loudest praise.Teach me some melodious sonnet,Sung by flaming tongues above.Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,Mount of Thy redeeming love. Here I raise my Ebenezer;Here by Thy great help I’ve come;And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,Safely to arrive at home.Jesus sought me when a stranger,Wandering from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood.O to grace how great a debtorDaily I’m constrained to be!Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,Bind my wandering heart to Thee.Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love;Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,Seal it for Thy courts above. –– Robert Robinson (1735-1790)

slide 6 May, 2011Great Is Thy Faithfulness Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;There is no shadow of turning with Thee;Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.RefrainGreat is Thy faithfulness!Great is Thy faithfulness!Morning by morning new mercies I see.All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,Sun, moon and stars in their courses aboveJoin with all nature in manifold witnessTo Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.Pardon for sin and a peace that endurethThine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! –– Thomas O. Chisholm (1866-1960)

slide 7 June, 2011Higher GroundI’m pressing on the upward way,New heights I’m gaining every day;Still praying as I’m onward bound,“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.” Refrain:Lord, lift me up and let me stand,By faith, on Heaven’s tableland,A higher plane than I have found;Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stayWhere doubts arise and fears dismay;Though some may dwell where those abound,My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. I want to live above the world,Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;For faith has caught the joyful sound,The song of saints on higher ground. –– Johnson Oatman, Jr. (1856-1922)

slide 8 July, 2011The Solid RockMy hope is built on nothing lessThan Jesus’ blood and righteousness;I dare not trust the sweetest frame,But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. Refrain:On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;All other ground is sinking sand,All other ground is sinking sand. When darkness veils His lovely face,I rest on His unchanging grace;In every high and stormy gale,My anchor holds within the veil. His oath, His covenant, His bloodSupport me in the whelming flood;When all around my soul gives way,He then is all my hope and stay. When He shall come with trumpet sound,Oh, may I then in Him be found;Dressed in His righteousness alone,Faultless to stand before the throne. –– Edward Mote (1797-1874)

slide 9 August, 2011It is Well With My soulWhen peace, like a river, attendeth my way,When sorrows like sea billows roll;Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,It is well, it is well, with my soul. Refrain: It is well, with my soul, It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul.My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!My sin, not in part but the whole,Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,Even so, it is well with my soul. ––– H. G. Spafford (1828-1888)

slide 10 September, 2011He Hideth My SoulA wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,A wonderful Savior to me;He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,Where rivers of pleasure I see.* He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rockThat shadows a dry, thirsty land;He hideth my life in the depths of His love,And covers me there with His hand,And covers me there with His hand.A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,He taketh my burden away;He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved,He giveth me strength as my day.With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,And filled with His fullness divine,I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to GodFor such a Redeemer as mine!When clothed in His brightness, transported I riseTo meet Him in clouds of the sky,His perfect salvation, His wonderful loveI’ll shout with the millions on high. ––– Fanny Crosby (1820-1915)

Page 11 October, 2011Rock of AgesRock of Ages, cleft for me,Let me hide myself in Thee;Let the water and the blood,From Thy wounded side which flowed,Be of sin the double cure;Save from wrath and make me pure.Could my tears forever flow,Could my zeal no languor know,These for sin could not atone;Thou must save, and Thou alone:In my hand no price I bring,Simply to Thy cross I cling.While I draw this fleeting breath,When my eyes shall close in death,When I rise to worlds unknown,And behold Thee on Thy throne,Rock of Ages, cleft for me,Let me hide myself in Thee –– Augustus M. Toplady (1740-1778)

Page 12 November, 2011Trust and ObeyWhen we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,What a glory He sheds on our way!While we do His good will, He abides with us still,And with all who will trust and obey. Trust and obey, for there’s no other wayTo be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,But His smile quickly drives it away;Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,Can abide while we trust and obey.Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,But our toil He doth richly repay;Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,But is blessed if we trust and obey.But we never can prove the delights of His loveUntil all on the altar we lay;For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,Are for them who will trust and obey.Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet,Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;Never fear, only trust and obey. ––J. H. Sammis (1846-1919)

Page 13 December, 2011’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His Word; Just to rest upon His promise, Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord!” Refrain:Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!Oh, for grace to trust Him more!Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,Just to trust His cleansing blood;Just in simple faith to plunge me’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,Just from sin and self to cease;Just from Jesus simply takingLife and rest, and joy and peace.I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;And I know that Thou art with me,Wilt be with me to the end. ––– Louisa Stead (1850-1917)

(II Cor. 13:14)•We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His voluntary vicarious death and atonement through His shed Blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His present priestly ministry. (I Tim. 3:16; Rom. 3:24-26; John 10:15,18; Rom. 5:8; I Peter 2:24)•We believe in evangelistic and missionary fervor and endeavor. (Acts 1:8; Mark 15:15-18)•We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. We further believe in the keeping power of God. (Heb. 9:22; Jude 24,25)•We believe that sanctification, holiness and the overcoming life is Gods design for the Church, which is the Bride of Christ. (Eph. 5:25-27)•We believe that this holiness is accomplished by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:13), who also works within a believer to produce fruit (Gal. 5:22-23) and good works (Eph. 2:10, Phi. 2:13)•We believe that sexual purity is a necessary expression for all of Gods children and requires abstinence from adultery, fornication, incest, homosexuality, or other sexual relationships or practices forbidden by Scripture.

(Mt. 19:4-6)•We believe that Baptism is for believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and is to be administered by immersion, thus bearing witness to the gospel of Christs death, burial and resurrection for us, and our own new life in Him. (Mt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4)•We believe that Communion, when shared by believers, witnesses to the saving power of the gospel, to Christs presence in His church, and looks forward to His victorious return. (I Cor. 11:23-26)•We believe in Christs imminent personal return in power and great glory, and in His present and everlasting dominion. (Acts 1:8; Rev. 1:7; Dan. 7:14)•We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal punishment.
