Randy Travis did a great version of this classic gospel song. He is such a great country singer! “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” is a traditional gospel song that has been performed and recorded by many artists. The lyrics were inspired by the Bible in 2 Corinthians 5:7 which says: “We walk by faith, not by sight,” and James 4:8 which says: “Come near to God and He will come near to you.” Be blessed!

Just a Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Randy Travis

I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I’ll be satisfied as long as I walk
Dear Lord, close to Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toils and snares
If I falter Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

When my feeble life is o’er
And time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom dear Lord, to Thy shore.

Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walkin’ close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

“Amazing Grace” Lyrics

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind, but now I see.

T’was grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangerous toils, and snares
I have already come
T’is grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve known less days to sing God’s grace
Than when we first begun…

Alan Jackson Sings Classic Hymns “Are You Washed In The Blood & I’ll Fly Away”

By

On August 16, 2024

In christian songs, Featured, Headline

Allan Jackson, one of the all-time top favorite country singers, sings these classic hymns “Are You Washed in the Blood” and “I’ll Fly Away.” The message of these hymns are timeless and it’s a powerful declaration of the redeeming power of the blood of our Lord Jesus. Jesus is the perfect sacrifice for all our sins and without the shedding of His blood, there will be no forgiveness of sin. He became high priest interceding for us at the right hand of the God in heaven.

About Alan Jackson

Alan Jackson was born in the small town of Newnan, Georgia, on October 17, 1958. He grew up singing gospel music, both in church and at home with his family, and as a teenager he performed locally as part of a country duo. He left school to work and married his high-school sweetheart, Denise, who worked as an airline stewardess. In 1989, Jackson became the first artist signed to Arista’s new country division. Jackson’s debut album, Here in the Real World, was issued in 1990 and became a platinum-selling hit on the strength of four Top Five hits: the title cut, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow,” “Wanted,” and the first of many chart-toppers, “I’d Love You All Over Again.” He shot to full-fledged superstardom with the follow-up, 1991’s Don’t Rock the Jukebox, whose title track was an inescapable number one smash that year.

Are You Washed in the Blood

Song by Alan Jackson

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

Are you washed in the blood
In the soul-cleansing blood of the lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin
And be washed in the blood of the lamb
There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean
O, be washed in the blood of the lamb

Are you washed in the blood
In the soul-cleansing blood of the lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

The Old Rugged Cross Lyrics

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross, where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners were slain

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It’s shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He’ll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory for ever I’ll share

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

In thee old rugged cross stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

“When God Ran” – Powerful Gospel Song of Phillips, Craig & Dean

By

On August 16, 2024

In christian songs, Featured, Headline, Praise & Worship

Have you heard about the prodigal son in the Parable of the Lost Son?  If not, go straight to Luke 15:11-31 and read it word for word. This is the only instance when God the Father ran! Oh, what a beautiful picture! What a happy ending to an otherwise miserable, hopeless, and depressed life. The love of our Father is indeed unfathomable.

“So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.“ – Luke 15:20 New Living Translation (NLT)

When God Ran Lyrics

Phillips, Craig And Dean

Almighty God, the great I am
Immovable rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings
Mighty conqueror, and the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run

CHORUS:
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise when God ran

The day I left home I knew I’d broken His heart
And I wondered then if things could ever be the same
Then one night I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road ahead I could see
It was the only time – it was the only time I ever saw Him run

And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees
When God ran – I saw Him run to me

BRIDGE:
I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away
But now I know He’s been waiting for this day

I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again

He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, “Son”, He called me Son
He said, “Son do you know I still love you?”
He ran to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran

“When God Ran” was originally recorded by Benny Hester.  by Phillips, Craig, and Dean.
