1 In times like these you need a Savior, In times like these you need an anchor;
REFRAIN: Be very sure, be very sure your anchor holds and grips the Solid rock! This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He’s the One; This Rock is Jesus, The only One! Be very sure, be very sure your anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!
2 In times like these you need the Bible, In times like these O be not idle. REFRAIN
3 In times like these I have a Savior, In times like these I have an anchor.
FINAL REFRAIN
I’m very sure, I’m very sure my anchor holds and grips the Solid rock! This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He’s the One; This Rock is Jesus, The only One! I’m very sure, I’m very sure my anchor holds and grips the Solid rock!

3 You’ll hear the Christian shout to wake the nations underground. Looking to my God’s right hand when the stars begin to fall. Refrain

[REFRAIN]
We’ve come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord. Trusting in his holy word. He’s never failed us yet. Oh, oh- oh- can’t turn around,
We’ve come this far by faith.
Don’t be discouraged with troubles in your life.
He’ll bear your burdens and move all discord and strife. (That’s why we) [REFRAIN]

1 Christ, from whom all blessings flow, perfecting the saints below, hear us, who thy nature share, who thy mystic body are.
2 Join us, in one spirit join, let us still receive of thine; still for more on thee we call, thou who fillest all in all.
3 Move and actuate and guide, diverse gifts to each divide; placed according to thy will, let us all our work fulfill;
4 Never from thy service move, needful to each other prove; use the grace on each bestowed, tempered by the art of God.
5 Many are we now, and one, we who Jesus have put on; there is neither bond nor free, male nor female, G-d, in thee.
6 Love, like death, hath all destroyed, rendered all distinctions void; names and sects and parties fall; thou, O Christ, art all in all!

1. We’ve a story to tell to the nations,  that shall turn their hearts to the right,  a story of truth and mercy,  a story of peace and light,  a story of peace and light.  Refrain: For the darkness shall turn to dawning,  and the dawning to noonday bright;  and Christ’s great kingdom shall come on earth,  the kingdom of love and light.  2. We’ve a song to be sung to the nations,  that shall lift their hearts to the Lord,  a song that shall conquer evil  and shatter the spear and sword, and shatter the spear and sword.  (Refrain)  3. We’ve a message to give to the nations,  that the Lord who reigneth above  hath sent us his Son to save us,  and show us that God is love,  and show us that God is love.  (Refrain)  4. We’ve a Savior to show to the nations,  who the path of sorrow hath trod,  that all of the world’s great peoples  might come to the truth of God,  might come to the truth of God.  (Refrain)

UMH 301

1 Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain; Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain. Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross. Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find rest beyond the river.
2 Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star shed His beams around me. [Refrain]
3 Near the cross! O lamb of God, bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day with its shadow o’er me. [Refrain]
4 Near the cross! I’ll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand, just beyond the river. [Refrain]
