Overshadowed
How desolate my life would be,
How dark and drear my nights and days,
If Jesus’ face I did not see
To brighten all earth’s weary ways.
With burdened heart I wandered long,
By grief and unbelief distressed;
But now I sing faith’s happy song,
In Christ my Saviour I am blest.
Now judgment fears no more alarm,
I dread not death, nor Satan’s pow’r;
The world for me has lost its charm,
God’s grace sustains me every hour.
I’m overshadowed by His mighty love,
Love eternal, changeless, pure,
Overshadowed by His mighty love,
Rest is mine, serene, secure;
He died to ransom me from sin…
He lives to keep me day by day.
I’m overshadowed by His mighty love,
Love that brightens all my way.

Altogether Lovely
Oft I am asked why Christ I love,
And what He means to me;
I answer, “He redeemed my soul.
By dying on the tree.”
He came from heav’n to rescue me,
My load of sin He bore;
And since I’ve learned to know His love,
My dread and fears are o’er.
And now He lives in glory bright,
And pleads my cause on high;
And soon He’ll come and take me home,
Where pleasures never die.
He is altogether lovely,
Yes, the fairest of the fair,
Chief is He among ten thousand,
And with Him I’ll glory share.

The Spirit’s Call
O soul, for whom the Saviour died,
Once more with you we plead;
Why not tonight repent and live,
To mercy’s call, to mercy’s call give heed?
How few of those forever lost
In regions of despair,
Beyond the reach of saving grace,
How few of those intended to be there!
How many tho’t the day would come
When they would trust the Lord!
But now they rue the evil hour
They spurned His Word, they spurned His Holy Word.
O heed the Spirit’s call tonight,
And turn from darkness to the light;
The Saviour waits to cleanse your soul,
To justify and make you whole.
Why not tonight, why not tonight,
Why not decide—tonight?
