TINDLEY, Charles Albert


I'll overcome someday

This world is one great battlefield,
With forces all arrayed;
If in my heart I do not yield
I’ll overcome some day.
…..

Both seen and unseen powers join
To drive my soul astray,
But with God's Word a sword of mine,
I’ll overcome some day.
…..
A thousand snares are set for me,
And mountains in my way;
If Jesus will my leader be,
I’ll overcome some day.
…..
I fail so often when I try
My Savior to obey;
It pains my heart and then I cry,
Lord, make me strong some day.
…..
My mind is not to do the wrong,
But walk the narrow way;
I’m praying as I journey on,
To overcome some day.
…..
Tho' many a time no signs appear,
Of answer when I pray;
My Jesus says I need not fear,
He’ll make it plain some day.
I’ll be like Him some day,
…..



Stand by me


When the storms of life are raging

Stand by me

When the storms of life are raging

Stand by me

When the world is tossing me

Like a ship upon the sea

Thou who rulest wind and water

Stand by me


In the midst of tribulation

Stand by me

In the midst of tribulation

Stand by me

When the hosts of hell assail

And my strength begins to fail

Thou who never lost a battle

Stand by me


In the midst of faults and failures

Stand by me

In the midst of faults and failures

Stand by me

When I do the best I can

And my friends misunderstand

Thou who knowest all about me

Stand by me


In the midst of persecution

Stand by me

In the midst of persecution

Stand by me

When my foes in battle array

Undertake to stop my way

Thou who saved Paul and Silas

Stand by me


When I'm growing old and feeble

Stand by me

When I'm growing old and feeble

Stand by me

When my life becomes a burden

And I'm nearing chilly Jordan

O Thou "Lily of the Valley" 

Stand by me



Sta me bij

Wanneer de storm des levens woedt

Sta me bij

Wanneer de wereld me dooreen schudt

Als een schip op zee

Gij, die heerst over wind en water

Sta me bij


Te midden van beproeving

Sta me bij

Wanneer de hellelegers aanvallen

En mijn kracht begint af te nemen

Gij, die nooit een strijd verloor

Sta me bij


Te midden van schuld en mislukking

Sta me bij

Wanneer ik mijn uiterste best doe

En mijn vrienden mij verkeerd begrijpen

Gij, die alles van mij weet

Sta me bij


Te midden van vervolging

Sta me bij

Wanneer mijn vijanden zich opstellen

Om mijn weg te versperren

Gij, die Paulus en Silas redde

Sta me bij


Wanneer ik oud en zwak word

Sta me bij

Wanneer leven last wordt

En ik de kille Jordaan nader

O Gij Lelie in het dal

Sta me bij

What are they doing in heaven today?

I'm thinking of friends whom I used to know

who lived and suffered in this world below

but they've gone up to heaven, and I want to know

what are they doing there now?

what are they doing in heaven today

where sin and sorrow are all done away

peace abounds like a river they say

what are they doing there now?

there's some whose hearts are full of despair

and they face their moments through silence and tears

but they clung to the cross with tremblin' and fear

and what are they doing there now?

What are they doing in heaven today
…..
there's some who're poor and often despised

they look up to heaven through tear-blinded eyes

but the people were heedless and deaf to their cries

what are they doing there now?

What are they doing in heaven today?
…..


Leave it there

If the world from you withhold of its silver and gold,

And you have to get along with meager fare,

Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird -

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Leave it there, leave it there,

leave it there, leave it there,

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;

If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out.

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,

And your soul is almost sinking in despair,

Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal -

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Leave it there, leave it there,

…..

When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,

Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer;

He will make a way for you, and will lead you safely through -

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.


When your youthful days are gone, and old age is stealing on.

And your body bends beneath the weight of care;

He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end -

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Leave it there, leave it there
…..
