He Walks With Me Lyrics
Merle Haggard
I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear falling on my ear The son of God discloses
And he walks with me and he talks with me And he tells me I am his own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of his voice is so sweet The birds hush their singing And the melody that he gave to me Within my heart is ringing
And he walks with me and he talks with me And he tells me I am his own And the joy we share as we tarry there None other has ever known

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling Calling for you and for me See on the portals He’s waiting and watching Watching for you and for me

Who is Jesus? Why do we look up to Him? Do you know Him? Here are some thoughts about Jesus.
“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.” C.S. Lewis, British author (1898-1963)
.
“I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.“H.G. Wells, British author (1866-1946)
.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” – Jesus Christ (John 14:6)
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
By Alan Jackson
O soul are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s light for a look at the Savior And life more abundant and freeTurn you eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and graceThrough death into life everlasting He passed, and we follow Him there Over us sin no more hath dominion For more than conquerors we areAnd turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and graceHis word shall not fail you, He promised Believe Him and all will be well Then go to a world that is dying His perfect salvation to tellAnd turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and graceAnd the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace

Here is another powerful message of the late Rev. David Wilkerson entitled “The Need in You and How to Meet It.” It’s true we all have needs. Broken marriage, wounded feelings, betrayal, unforgiveness, addiction, just to mention few. Where are these coming from? David Wilkerson reminds us that if we are willing to let go of what we love, that holds us back from receiving God’s provision, then He will work. But it’s really up to us to make those decision as led by the Holy Spirit. Be blessed and do not forget to share this post if you find it valuable.
Reverend David Wilkerson was the Founding Pastor of Times Square Church in New York City. He was called to New York in 1958 to minister to gang members and drug addicts, as told in the best-selling book, The Cross and the Switchblade. April 27, 2011. Reverend David Wilkerson was killed in a car crash in Texas on April 27, 2011
This is a very special song in a traditional setting. Yes, you guess it right. It is a picture of how a Church should come together in praise and worship! Not the concert type or decorating the stage with disco lights and smoke. We need to go back to the old country church where people can just come and sing along!!! Amen? Be blessed by this Gaither gospel song “The Old Country Church”lead by James Blackwood, Jack Toney, Squire Parsons, Ben Speer, George Younce, Ernie Haase, and Glen Payne.
“The Gaither Vocal Band is an American southern gospel vocal group, named after its founder and leader Bill Gaither. Founded in the early ’80s, Gaither Vocal Band is one of America’s leading faith-based vocal groups. While Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither. Although the group started out recording contemporary Christian music in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the Gaither Homecoming videos.” (Source: Wikipedia)
The Old Country Church Lyrics
Oh, I’d like to go back To that old country church To hear the songs of praise (Songs of praise) How the people would sing It would make the rafters ring At that old, at that old country church
Shall we gather at the river The beautiful, the beautiful river Gather with the saints at the river That flows from the throne of God
Oh, I’ll never forget At that old country church How the glory of the Lord came down And the children would smile As they shouted down the aisle Of that old, of that old country church
In the sweet bye and bye We shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet bye and bye We shall meet on that beautiful shore
Then on sunday I’d see All my friends dear to me At that old (at that old) Country church (country church) When we’d kneel down to pray’r Everybody would be there At that old (at that old) Country church
Leaning (leaning) Leaning (I’m leaning) Safe and secure from all alarm Leaning (leaning, leaning) Leaning (I’m leaning) Leaning on the everlasting arm
Now the years have gone by And so many have died At that old country church (country church) But they’re on the other shore Where they’ll sing forever more As they did at that old country church
I’m redeemed (oh, I’m redeemed) By Love Divine (by Love Divine) Oh, glory, glory (Christ is mine) Christ is mine (Christ is mine) Oh, to Him (oh, to him) I now resign (I now resign) (I have been) I have been redeemed
I’m redeemed (oh, I’m redeemed) By Love Divine (by Love Divine) Oh, glory, glory (Hallelujah) Christ is mine (He is mine) Oh, to Him (oh, to him) I now resign (I now resign) (I have been) I have been redeemed
At that old country church
I’m redeemed (oh, I’m redeemed) By Love Divine (by Love Divine) Oh, glory, glory (Christ is mine) Christ is mine (Christ is mine) Oh, to Him (oh, to him) I now resign (I now resign) (I have been) I have been redeemed
I’m redeemed (oh, I’m redeemed) By Love Divine (by Love Divine) Oh, glory, glory (Christ is mine) Christ is mine (Christ is mine) Oh, to Him (oh, to him) I now resign (I now resign) (I have been) I have been redeemed!
