Benediction
Be Blessed, Be Safe and Be a Blessing!!
We are often tossed and driv’n on the restless sea of time
Somber skies and howling tempests oft succeed a bright sunshine
In that land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away,
We will understand it better by and by.
Refrain
By and by, when the morning comes,
When the saints of God are gathered home,
We’ll tell the story how we’ve overcome,
For we’ll understand it better by and by.
We are often destitute of the things that life demands,
Want of food and want of shelter, thirsty hills and barren lands
We are trusting in the Lord, and according to God’s Word,
We will understand it better by and by.
Refrain
Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand
All the ways that God could lead us to that blessèd promised land
But He guides us with His eye, and we’ll follow till we die,
For we’ll understand it better by and by.
Refrain
Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed for a thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,
But we’ll understand it better by and by.
Refrain
How to reach the masses, men of every birth,
For an answer, Jesus gave the key:
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto Me.
Refrain
Lift Him up, Lift Him up,
Still He speaks from eternity:
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
Will draw all men unto Me.
Oh! the world is hungry for the Living Bread,
Lift the Savior up for them to see
Trust Him, and do not doubt the words that He said,
I’ll draw all men unto Me.
Refrain
Don’t exalt the preacher, don’t exalt the pew,
Preach the Gospel simple, full and free
Prove Him and you will find that promise is true,
I’ll draw all men unto Me.
Refrain
Lift Him up by living as a Christian ought,
Let the world in you the Savior see
Then men will gladly follow Him who once taught,
I’ll draw all men unto Me.
Refrain
It only takes a spark to get a fire going,
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;
That's how it is with God's Love,
Once you've experienced it,
Your spread the love to everyone
You want to pass it on.
What a wondrous time is spring,
When all the tress 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.
I wish for you my friend
This happiness that I've found;
You can depend on God
It matters not where you're bound,
I'll shout it from the mountain top - PRAISE GOD!
I want the world to know
The Lord of love has come to me
I want to pass it on.
I'll shout it from the mountain top - PRAISE GOD!
I want the world to know
The Lord of love has come to me
I want to pass it on.
