How Great Thou Art cover by Eric Alan Marx.



How Great Thou Art cover by Eric Alan Marx.



I am singing along with free midi I found Online.  I created it using Zoom.



How Great Thou Art

Carl Gustav Boberg, 1885

translated by Stuart K. Hine



[Verse 1]

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed



[Refrain]

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!



[Verse 2]

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander

And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees

When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur

And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze



[Refrain]

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!



[Verse 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



[Refrain]

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!



[Verse 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 then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"



[Refrain]

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Amazing Grace cover by Eric Alan Marx.



Amazing Grace cover by Eric Alan Marx.



I am singing along with the song that a Piano player Susie did at Cafe Susie on Youtube.  I created it using Zoom.



The last verse according to Wikipedia was added later.



Amazing Grace

John Newton, 1779

William Walker, 1847



Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound)

That sav'd a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.



'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears reliev'd;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believ'd!



Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares,

I have already come;

'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.



The Lord has promis'd good to me,

His word my hope secures;

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.



Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease;

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.



The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who call'd me here below,

Will be forever mine.



When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise,

Than when we first begun.

Written In Red/Nothing But the Blood cover by Eric Alan Marx.



Written In Red/Nothing But the Blood cover by Eric Alan Marx.



I am singing along with the song that Jonathan Evans put on Youtube of Jubilee Brass playing Dean Jones's beautiful arrangement of Written in Red at the Hope 4 Havering Music and Worship Night May 2013.  I created it using Zoom.



Written In Red/Nothing But the Blood

Gordon Jensen

Robert Lowry, 1876



VERSE 1



In letters of crimson God wrote His love

On a hillside so long, long ago

For you and for me Jesus died

And love’s greatest story was told



CHORUS



I love you, I love you

That’s what Calvary said

I love you, I love you

I love you written in red



VERSE 2



Down through the ages God wrote His love

With the same hands that suffered and bled

Giving all that He had to give

A message so easily read



CHORUS



I love you, I love you

That’s what Calvary said

I love you, I love you

I love you written in red



BRIDGE



Oh precious is the flow

That makes me white as snow

No other fount I know

Nothing but the blood of Jesus



CHORUS



I love you, I love you

That’s what Calvary said

I love you, I love you

I love you written in red

The Old Rugged Cross cover by Eric Alan Marx.





The Old Rugged Cross cover by Eric Alan Marx.



I am singing along with the song that a Piano player Natalie Raynes did at Natalie Raynes Music on Youtube.  I created it using Zoom.



The Old Rugged Cross

Words and Music: George Bennard



Verse 1:

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 was slain



Refrain:

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.



Verse 2:

O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

Has a wondrous attraction for me;

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above

To bear it to dark Calvary.



Refrain:



Verse 3:

In that 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.



Refrain:



Verse 4:

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;

Its shame and reproach gladly bear;

Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,

Where His glory forever I'll share.



Refrain:

The Star Spangled Banner

Washington D.C. Fireworks 2007, Part 2- Star Spangled Banner





O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

El Shaddai cover by Eric Alan Marx.



I am singing along with the song that Chris J on Youtube did.  I created it using Zoom.





El Shaddai



Words by John W. Thompson - Music by Michael Card





El-Shaddai: God Almighty

El-Elyon: God Most High

na Adonai: O Lord

Erkamka: we will love you





El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Elyon na Adonai



Age to Age your still the same



By the power of the Name



El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Erkamka na adonai



We will Praise and Lift you high



El Shaddai







Through Your Love and through the ram



you saved the son of Abraham



And by the power of your hand



Turned the sea into dry land



to the outcast on her knees



You were the God that really sees



And by your might you set your children free







El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Elyon na Adonai



Age to Age your still the same



by power of the name



El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Erkamka na Adonai



We will praise and lift you high



El Shaddai







Through the years you made it clear



That the time of Christ was near



Though the people failed to see



What Messiah ought to be



Though your word contained the plan



They just could not understand



Your most awsome work was done



Through the fraility of your son







El Shaddai, El Shaddai, El Elyon na Adonai



Age to Age your still the same



by power of the name



El Shaddai, El Shaddai, Erkamka na Adonai



We will praise and lift you high



El Shaddai
