Hymn of the Day
Jesus My Lord
John Fischer
Refrain:
Have you seen Jesus, my Lord?
He's here in plain view.
Take a look, open your eyes;
He'll show it to you.
(1)
Have
you ever looked at the sunset
With the sky mellowin' red,
And the clouds suspended like feathers?
Then, I say (pause) you've seen Jesus, my Lord.
(2)
Have you
ever stood at the ocean
With the white foam at your feet,
Felt the endless thunderin' motion?
Then, I say (pause) you've seen Jesus, my Lord.
(3)
Have you ever looked at the cross
With a man hangin' in pain,
And the look of love in His eyes?
Then, I say (pause) you've seen Jesus,
my Lord.
(3)
Have you
ever stood in the family
With the Lord there in your midst;
Seen the face of Christ on each other?
Then, I say (pause) you've seen Jesus, my Lord.

Amazing Grace
(1)
Amazing Grace
how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found;
Was blind, but now I see.
(2)
Twas grace
that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
(3)
Through many
dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
It's grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
(4)
When we've
been there ten thousand years,
Bright, shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.
(5)
Amazing Grace!
How warm the sound
That gave new life to me.
He will my shield and portion be,
His word my hope
secures.
