Whats your favorite song??

[kevinmiller]

This one might get me in trouble with the anti-CCM folks but it really a great song IMHO


I Can Only Imagine - Mercy Me (Almost There)
I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

CHORUS:
Surrounded by Your glroy, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

lol. Heard that one a few times. Too bad it's CCM. :wink

I love the hymn "Are You Washed In The Blood?" by Elisha A. Hoffman:

Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Refrain

Are you washed in the blood,
In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you walking daily by the Savior?s side?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Refrain

When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Refrain

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There?s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
O be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

Refrain

Rescue the Perishing by Fanny Crosby is another one of my favorites. Actually, I have many favorites, but these two I really love.

River Of Life
River Of Life

There's a river of life flowing out of me,

Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.

Open prison door sets the captive free,

There's a river of life flowing out of me.


Spring up oh well...gush, gush, gush, gush

Within my soul!

Spring up oh well...Splish, Splash!

And make me whole.

Spring up oh well....ahhh-whoosh!

And give to me.

That life abundantly.

There's a fountain flowing from the Savior's side,
All my sin's forgiven in the precious tide;
Jesus paid the price when for me He died,
There's a fountain flowing from the Savior's side.

There's a risen Savior at the Father's throne,
Ever interceding for His very own;
Pouring down the blessings that are His alone,
There's a risen Savior at the Father's throne.

the moment i was saved this song was in my heart. it will always mean something to me!

[IveBeenRedeemed]

I have so many favorites that it is impossible to choose. But I love this song! Click on the link below to watch David Phelps (my favorite singer) sing this song.

No More Night

The timeless theme, Earth and Heaven will pass away.
It?s not a dream, God will make all things new that day.
Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and fell.
Evil is banished to eternal hell.

No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.

See all around, now the nations bow down to sing.
The only sound is the praises to Christ, our King.
Slowly the names from the book are read.
I know the King, so there?s no need to dread.

No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.

See over there, there?s a mansion, oh, that?s prepared just for me,
Where I will live with my savior eternally.

No more night. No more pain.
No more tears. Never crying again.
And praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.

All praises to the great "I AM."
We?re gonna live in the light of the risen Lamb.

I have two favorites. Both John Newton hymns.

John Newton, 1779, from Olney Hymns, vol. 1, hymn 33

Behold the throne of grace!
The promise calls me near;
There Jesus shows a smiling face,
And waits to answer prayer.
2. That rich atoning blood,
Which sprinkled round I see;
Provides for those who come to God,
An all-prevailing plea.

3. My soul ask what thou wilt,
Thou canst not be too bold;
Since his own blood for thee he spilt,
What else can he withhold.

4. Beyond thy utmost wants
His love and pow'r can bless;
To praying souls he always grants,
More than they can express.
5. Since 'tis the Lord's command,
My mouth I open wide;
Lord open thou thy bounteous hand,
That I may be supplied.
6. Thine image, Lord, bestow,
Thy presence and thy love;
I ask to serve thee here below,
And reign with thee above.

7. Teach me to live by faith,
Conform my will to thine;
Let me victorious be in death,
And then in glory shine.

8. If Thou these blessings give,
And wilt my portion be;
Cheerful the world's poor toys I leave,
To them who know not thee.


John Newton, 1779, from Olney Hymns, vol. 1, hymn 53

One there is, above all others,
Well deserves the name of friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who once his kindness prove,
Find it everlasting love!
2. Which of all our friends to save us,
Could or would have shed their blood?
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled, in him to God:
This was boundless love indeed!
Jesus is a friend in need.

3. Men, when raised to lofty stations,
Often know their friends no more;
Slight and scorn their poor relations
Though they valued them before.
But our Saviour always owns
Those whom he redeemed with groans.
4. When he lived on earth abased,
Friend of sinners was his name;
Now, above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same:
Still he calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
5. Could we bear from one another,
What he daily bears from us?
Yet this glorious Friend and Brother,
Loves us though we treat him thus:
Though for good we render ill,
He accounts us brethren still.

6. O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love;
We, alas! forget too often,
What a Friend we have above:
But when home our souls are brought,
We will love thee as we ought.

One of my favorites is His Life For Mine. Sung by the Talley Trio.

I will try to find the lyrics and post them latter.

[Bakershalfdozen]

I heard one today that could very easily become one of my faves...


Before The Throne Of God Above (scroll down and click on #5 to listen to a sample)


1. Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
Who ever pleads for me.

2. My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me to depart.
Can bid me to depart.

3. When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Made an end of all my sin.

4. Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.
Look on Him and pardon me.

5. One in Himself I cannot die.
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!
Christ my Savior and my God!

6. Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace,
King of glory and if Grace.

The Value of One is one of my favorites from the cd "Come Home."

When the Roll is Called up Yonder,The Old Rugged Cross, Since Jesus Came into My Heart, I Love to Tell the Story.

[Guest Guest]

Another great hymn to my heart:

I AM HIS AND HE IS MINE

Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know;
Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so!
O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine!
In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine.
In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine.

Heav?n above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green!
Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen;
Birds with gladder songs o?erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as I now know, I am His, and He is mine.
Since I know, as I now know, I am His, and He is mine.

Things that once were wild alarms cannot now disturb my rest;
Closed in everlasting arms, pillowed on the loving breast.
O to lie forever here, doubt and care and self resign,
While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine.
While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine.

His forever, only His; Who the Lord and me shall part?
Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heav?n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline;
But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.
But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.


I remember when I was dating this girl and I tried to "compromise" and attend her Interdonminational "don't offend anyone" Church (don't try it it doesn't work) that I requested this song. I started blubbering like a baby and embarrassed my girlfriend and raised many eyebrows in church. They were looking at me like I was nuts! You should of heard testimony time when they were thanking God for this and that and I thanked God that he didn't throw me into hell.

And another:

GIVE ME THE WINGS OF FAITH- by Issac Watts

Give me the wings of faith to rise
Within the veil, and see
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.

Once they were mourning here below,
And wet their couch with tears:
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins, and doubts, and fears.

I ask them whence their victory came:
They, with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
Their triumph to His death.

They marked the footsteps that He trod,
His zeal inspired their breast;
And following their incarnate God,
Possess the promised rest.

Our glorious Leader claims our praise
For His own pattern giv?n;
While the long cloud of witnesses
Show the same path to Heav?n.

It's so hard to choose a favorite. It seems often that my favorite is whatever is playing at the moment because we recently got some really good new cd's. Here's one that I really like though:

"How Deep The Father's Love For Us"

How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss.
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.

How high, how wide, how deep the Father's love for us.

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders.
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life.
I know that it is finished.

How pure, how strong, how deep the Father's love for us.

I will not boast of anything:
No gifts, no power, no wisdom.
But I will boast in Jesus Christ:
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer.
But this I know with all my heart:
His wounds have paid my ransom.

How high, how wide. How pure, how strong.
How deep the Father's love for us.


Another old favorite of mine is "Great is Thy Faithfulness".

[speerjp1]

I love that song and sing it in an a capella group at my church.

My favorite hymn is "Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy":

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and power.

Refrain

I will arise and go to Jesus,
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O there are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God?s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.

Refrain

Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you?re better,
You will never come at all.

Refrain

View Him prostrate in the garden;
On the ground your Maker lies.
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Sinner, will this not suffice?

Refrain

Lo! th?incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of His blood:
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude.

Refrain

Let not conscience make you linger,
Not of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.

Refrain

My favorite song that isn't in our hymn book is called "When God Ran"
