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
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
…..
