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?

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

What a Friend We Have in Jesus cover by Eric Alan Marx.





What a Friend We Have in Jesus cover by Eric Alan Marx.



I am singing along with the song that an Organ Player Dan Olney and Piano player Mike Jankusky did, and Mike Jankusky put it on  Youtube.  I created it using Zoom.



What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Words: George Scriven (1855)

Music: Charles C. Converse (1868)



Verse 1:

What a Friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer!



Verse 2:

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged,

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness,

Take it to the Lord in prayer.



Verse 3:

Are we weak and heavy-laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge—

Take it to the Lord in prayer;

Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer;

In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,

Thou wilt find a solace there.
