The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; 
His mercies never come to an end; 
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” 
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. 
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

Your Love is Greater Still 
Words & Music:  Ben Morrison, 2011 
 
 
Your Love is greater still 
than the turmoil of the earth 
When islands shake and waves o'ertake 
Your Love is greater still. 
 
 
Though fire and conflict grim 
and wars surround the globe 
and the ancient towns are burning down 
Your Love is greater still.

All those who love the Lord

When their hopes grow dim You weep with them, 
Your Love is greater still. 
 
 
The Darkness of this age 
Is the darkness in my heart. 
I turn away, I go astray 
Your Love is greater still. 
 
 
Where can I run from You? 
Can I go across the sea? 
In the darkest places, You are there. 
Your Love is greater still.

I Will Sing of My Redeemer 
Phillip P. Bliss, 1876, James McGran­han, 1877 
 
 
I will sing of my Redeemer, And His wondrous love to me; 
On the cruel cross He suffered, From the curse to set me free 
 
 
Refrain: 
Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer, With His blood, He purchased me. 
On the cross, He sealed my pardon, Paid the debt, and made me free. 
 
 
I will tell the wondrous story, How my lost estate to save, 
In His boundless love and mercy, He the ransom freely gave. 
Refrain 
 
 
I will praise my dear Redeemer, His triumphant power I’ll tell, 
How the victory He giveth Over sin, and death, and hell. 
Refrain 
 
 
I will sing of my Redeemer, And His heav’nly love to me; 
He from death to life hath brought me, Son of God with Him to be. 
Refrain 
  
 
 
Near the Cross 
Words: Fanny Crosby, in Bright Jewels, by William B. Bradbury (New York, Biglow & Main, 1869). 
Music:   W. Howard Doane 
 
 
Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain 
Free to all, a healing stream flows from Calvary’s mountain. 
 
 
Refrain 
In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever; 
Till my ransomed soul shall find rest beyond the river. 
 
 
Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; 
There the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me. 
Refrain 
 
 
Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; 
Help me walk from day to day, with its shadows o’er me. 
Refrain 
 
 
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait hoping, trusting ever, 
Till I reach the golden strand, just beyond the river. 
Refrain 
  
 
 
My Shepherd will Supply My Need 
Words: Isaac Watts, The Psalms of David, 1719 
Traditional American Melody 
 
 
My Shepherd will supply my need: 
Jehovah is His Name; 
In pastures fresh He makes me feed, 
Beside the living stream. 
He brings my wandering spirit back 
When I forsake His ways, 
And leads me, for His mercy’s sake, 
In paths of truth and grace. 
 
 
When I walk through the shades of death 
Thy presence is my stay; 
One word of Thy supporting breath 
Drives all my fears away. 
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, 
Doth still my table spread; 
My cup with blessings overflows, 
Thine oil anoints my head. 
 
 
The sure provisions of my God 
Attend me all my days; 
O may Thy house be my abode, 
And all my work be praise. 
There would I find a settled rest, 
While others go and come; 
No more a stranger, nor a guest, 
But like a child at home. 
 
 
No more a stranger, nor a guest, 
But like a child at home.

Be gracious to me, O God! 
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. 
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust 
I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? 
This I know, that God is for me. 
In God, whose word I praise 
In the Lord, whose word I praise, 
In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. 
What can man do to me? 
I must perform my vows to you, O God; 
I will render thank offerings to you. 
For you have delivered my soul from death, 
yes, my feet from falling, 
that I may walk before God in the light of life.

What, though th’ Accuser Roar 
Whitlock Gandy, From Hymns for the Little Flock No. 12 in Appendix 
Tune by Ben Morrison 2019 
 
What though th' accuser roar Of ills that I have done! 
I know them well, and thousands more: 
Jehovah findeth none. Jehovah findeth none. 
 
Sin, Satan, death appear To harass and appall; 
Yet since the gracious Lord is near, 
Backward they go and fall. Backward they go and fall. 
 
Before, behind, around, They set their fierce array, 
To fight and force me from the ground, 
Along life's narrow way. Along life's narrow way. 
 
I meet them face to face, Through Jesus' conquest blest; 
March in the triumph of His grace 
Right onward to my rest. Right onward to my rest. 
 
There, in His book, I bear More than a conqueror's name, 
Of soldier, son and fellow-heir, 
Who fought and overcame. Who fought and overcame. 
 
Jesus! What a Friend for Sinners 
Public Domain.  Words: John Wilbur Chapman  Music: Prichard 
 
Jesus! What a friend for sinners! 
Jesus! Lover of my soul; 
Friends may fail me, foes assail me, 
He, my Savior, makes me whole. 
 
Chorus: 
Hallelujah! What a Savior! 
Hallelujah! What a friend! 
Saving, helping, keeping, loving, 
He is with me to the end. 
 
Jesus! What a strength in weakness! 
Let me hide myself in Him. 
Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing, 
He, my strength, my victory wins. (Repeat chorus) 
 
Jesus! What a help in sorrow! 
While the billows o’er me roll, 
Even when my heart is breaking, 
He, my comfort, helps my soul. (Repeat chorus) 
 
Jesus! I do now receive Him, 
More than all in Him I find. 
He hath granted me forgiveness, 
I am His, and He is mine. (Repeat chorus) 
 
Oh, Breaker of my Hardened Heart 
Based on and Inspired by “Hymn” by Jars of Clay 
Writer: STOOKEY, NOEL PAUL/MASON, JAMES/GOLD, KAREN 
Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., Universal Music Publishing Group 
Additional Lyrics by Ben Morrison 2016 
 
Oh, breaker of my hardened heart, 
Oh fast pursuing lover come! 
The hound of heav’n won’t be denied, 
My life, my soul, will be Your prize. 
 
No empty works of mislaid faith, 
Nor trust in that which cannot save 
Will be the beacon of my life, 
For only You can best the grave. 
 
Chorus: 
Oh Love of Christ so melt my pride 
That I can in Thy house but kneel, 
And from my brokenness a cry 
Of worship springs to Thee! 
 
When beauty breaks the wall of pain 
Once deafened ears now hear the strain 
Of angel choirs legions strong  
And wakened voices join the song. (Chorus) 
 
Sweet Jesus carry me away 
From cold of night and dust of day 
When all Your plans have been fulfilled 
My Jesus love me, love me still. (Chorus x 2) 
 
Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me 
Lyrics:  Edward Hopper  Tune: Robbie Seay Band 
Arrangement (in 4/4):  Ben Morrison 
 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me over life’s tempestuous sea; 
Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treacherous shoal. 
Chart and compass come from Thee; 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
Chart and compass come from Thee; 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
 
Though the sea be smooth and bright, Sparkling with the stars of night, 
And my ship’s path be ablaze With the light of halcyon days, 
Still I know my need of Thee; 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
Still I know my need of Thee; 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
 
When the darkling heavens frown, And the wrathful winds come down, 
And the fierce waves, tossed on high, Lash themselves against the sky, 
Over life’s tempestuous sea, 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
Over life’s tempestuous sea, 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
 
As a mother stills her child, You can hush the ocean wild; 
Boisterous waves obey Your will, When You say to them, “Be still!” 
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, 
Jesus, Savior, pilot me. 
 
When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 
’Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Your breast, 
May I hear You say to me, 
“Fear not, I will pilot thee.” 
May I hear You say to me, 
Fear not, I will pilot thee.”
