Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, close by me forever, and love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.

Intermediate Song and Verse Option #2 How Great Thou Art, p.3 (verses 1, 3 & 4) 1. O Lord my God! When I in awe-some wonder consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power thru-out the universe displayed 3. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin 4. When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! AND Acts 17:23-25, 27 23For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship and this is what I am going to proclaim to you. 24 The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. 25And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. 27God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.

What a wondrous time is spring - when all the trees are budding, The birds begin to sing; the flowers start their blooming; That s how it is with God s love, once you ve experienced it; You want to sing, it s fresh like spring, you want to pass it on. 3.

Advanced Option 1, Song #3 Tell Me The Story of Jesus, p.142 (verses 1, 2 & 3) 1. Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard; Tell how the angels, in chorus, sang as they welcomed his birth; Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings on earth Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard. 2. Fasting alone in the desert, tell of the days that are passed, How for our sins He was temped, yet was triumphant at last; Tell of the years of His labor, tell of the sorrow He bore, He was despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected and poor. Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard. 3. Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, writhing in anguish and pain; Tell of the grave where they laid Him, tell how He liveth again. Love, in that story so tender, clearer than ever I see; Stay, let me weep while you whisper, Love paid the ransom for me. Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word; Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.
