\nThat saved a wretch like me
\nI once was lost but now I’m found,
\nWas blind but now I see<\/p>\n
\nAnd grace my fears relieved
\nHow precious did that grace appear,
\nThe hour I first believed<\/p>\n
\nMy chains are gone I’ve been set free<\/span>
\nMy God my Savior has ransomed me<\/span>
\nAnd like a flood His mercy rains<\/span>
\nUnending love amazing grace<\/span><\/p>\n
\nHis word my hope secures
\nHe will my shield and portion be,
\nAs long as life endures<\/p>\n
\nThe sun forbear to shine
\nBut God who called me here below
\nWill be forever mine
\nWill be forever mine
\nYou are forever mine<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/span>“What a Friend We Have in Jesus<\/i>”<\/p>\n
\nAll our sins and griefs to bear
\nWhat a privilege to carry
\nEverything to God in prayer
\nO what peace we often forfeit
\nO what needless pain we bear
\nAll because we do not carry
\nEverything to God in prayer<\/p>\n
\nIs there trouble anywhere
\nWe should never be discouraged
\nTake it to the Lord in prayer
\nCan we find a friend so faithful
\nWho will all our sorrows share
\nJesus knows our every weakness
\nTake it to the Lord in prayer<\/p>\n
\nCumbered with a load of care
\nPrecious Savior still our refuge
\nTake it to the Lord in prayer
\nDo thy friends despise forsake thee
\nTake it to the Lord in prayer
\nIn His arms He’ll take and shield thee
\nThou wilt find a solace there<\/p>\n
\nThou wilt all our burdens bear
\nMay we ever Lord be bringing
\nAll to Thee in earnest prayer
\nSoon in glory bright unclouded
\nThere will be no need for prayer
\nRapture praise and endless worship
\nWill be our sweet portion there<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>“Pass It On “<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nTo get a fire going
\nAnd soon all those around

\nThat’s how it is with God’s love
\nOnce you’ve experienced it
\nYou spread His love to ev’ryone
\nYou want to pass it on<\/p>\n
\nWhen all the trees are budding
\nThe birds begin to sing
\nThe flowers start their blooming
\nThat’s how it is with God’s love
\nOnce you’ve experienced it
\nYou want to sing it’s fresh like spring
\nYou want to pass it on<\/p>\n
\nThis happiness that I’ve found
\nYou can depend on Him
\nIt matters not where you’re bound
\nI’ll shout it from the mountain top
\nI want my world to know
\nThe Lord of love has come to me
\nI want to pass it on<\/p>\n
