Link to Sermon Notes

1 I am weak but Thou art strong;

Jesus, keep me from all wrong;

I'll be satisfied as long

As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.


Refrain:

Just a closer walk with Thee,

Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,

Daily walking close to Thee,

Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.


2 Thro' this world of toil and snares,

If I falter, Lord, who cares?

Who with me my burden shares?

None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. 


[Refrain]


3 When my feeble life is o'er,

Time for me will be no more;

Guide me gently, safely o'er

To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore. 


[Refrain]

There shall be showers of blessing:

This is the promise of love;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

Sent from the Savior above.


Chorus: 

Showers of blessing,

Showers of blessing we need;

Mercy-drops round us are falling,

But for the showers we plead.


There shall be showers of blessing—

Precious reviving again;

Over the hills and the valleys,

Sound of abundance of rain.


(Chorus)


There shall be showers of blessing;

Send them upon us, O Lord!

Grant to us now a refreshing;

Come, and now honor Thy Word.


(Chorus)


There shall be showers of blessing;

O that today they might fall,

Now as to God we’re confessing,

Now as on Jesus we call!


(Chorus)


There shall be showers of blessing,

If we but trust and obey;

There shall be seasons refreshing,

If we let God have His way.


(Chorus)


by Daniel W. Whittle & James McGranahan

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. 


Refrain:

Come home, come home; 

you who are weary come home; 

earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling, 

calling, O sinner, come home! 


Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading, 

pleading for you and for me? 

Why should we linger and heed not his mercies, 

mercies for you and for me? 


Refrain


Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing, 

passing from you and from me; 

shadows are gathering, deathbeds are coming, 

coming for you and for me. 


Refrain


O for the wonderful love he has promised, 

promised for you and for me! 

Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon, 

pardon for you and for me. 


Refrain
