You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.
Psalm 139:2
For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
Psalm 139:4
You know all things.

Peter…said to Him, “Lord, You know all things.”
John 21:17

oly:


Thou Knowest, Lord

Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow
Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest;
Cares of today, and burdens for tomorrow,
Blessings implored, and sins to be confessed;
I come before Thee at Thy gracious word,
And lay them at Thy feet: Thou knowest, Lord.

Thou knowest all the present: each temptation,
Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear;
All to myself assigned of tribulation,
Or to beloved ones than self more dear;
All pensive memories, as I journey on,
Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone.

Thou knowest all the future: gleams of gladness
By stormy clouds too quickly overcast;
Hours of sweet fellowship, and parting sadness,
And the dark river to be crossed at last;
O what could confidence and hope afford
To tread that path, but this, Thou knowest, Lord!

Thou knowest, not alone as God, all knowing;
As man, our mortal weakness Thou has proved:
On earth, with purest sympathies o’erflowing,
O Savior, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved;
And love and sorrow still to Thee may come,
And find a hiding place, a rest, a home.

Therefore I come, Thy gentle call obeying,
And lay my sins and sorrows at Thy feet;
On everlasting Strength my weakness staying,
Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete:
Then rising and refreshed I leave Thy throne,
And follow on to know as I am known.



Praise the Lord! Amen! and Amen!

We have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Corinthians 5:1

​

oly:


Not Made With Hands

Christ went a building to prepare,
Yes, not made with hands,
And ’twill be decked with jewels rare,
Not made with hands.

Put on the armor of our God,
Amen, not made with hands,
And take the path our Captain trod,
Not made with hands.

Keep fighting sin, that awful foe,
I know, not made with hands,
Until you hear the trumpet blow,
Not made with hands.

Then come up, children, get your crown,
Real, not made with hands,
When you have laid your armor down,
Not made with hands.

That city’s built with precious stone,
Hallelujah, Not made with hands,
Within we’ll gather ’round the throne,
Not made with hands.

I know, I know,
I have another building;
I know, I know,
’Tis not made with hands.

Therefore we do not lose heart…For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18​

For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7​

oly:


By Faith in Christ I Walk With God

By faith in Christ I walk with God, with Heav’n, my journey’s end, in view;
Supported by His staff and rod, my road is safe and pleasant too.
I travel through a desert wide where many round me blindly stray;
But He vouchsafes to be my Guide, and will not let me miss my way.

Though snares and dangers throng my path, and earth and hell my course withstand;
I triumph over all by faith, guarded by His almighty hand.
The wilderness affords no food, but God for my support prepares;
Provides me every needful good, and frees my soul from wants and cares.

With Him sweet converse I maintain, great as He is I dare be free;
I tell Him all my grief and pain, and He reveals His love to me.
Some cordial from His Word He brings, whene’er my feeble spirit faints;
At once my soul revives and sings, and yields no more to sad complaints.

I pity all that worldlings talk of pleasures that will quickly end;
Be this my choice, O Lord, to walk with Thee, my Guide, my Guard, my Friend.
My road is safe and pleasant too, guarded by His almighty hand;
And He reveals His love to me, my Guide, my Guard, my Friend.

Hebrews 10:22

Since We Have Confidence

Since we have confidence to come to God,
Since Jesus made a way by His own blood,

A living way made clear,

Let us draw near.

Let us draw near to God, let us draw near;
With all sincerity, let us draw near.
Fully assured in faith,
With hearts cleansed by His grace,
All guilt and sin erased,
Let us draw near.

Let us hold to our hope, let us e’er hope,
In God’s salvation great, let us e’er hope.
God’s promises are true;
He’s always faithful, too;
What He has said, He’ll do;
Let us e’er hope.

Let us spur others on, let us spur on;
Let us consider how we may spur on.
Let us urge others to
Show love in all they do,
And good deeds e’er pursue;
Let us spur on.

Let us keep meeting e’er, let us still meet;
Till Christ returns one day, let us still meet.
Let us encourage e’er,
Christ’s soon return declare,
Till we His glory share,
Let us still meet.

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace,
that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16

​

oly:


Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace

Come, ye who from your hearts believe
That Jesus answers prayer,
Come boldly to a throne of grace
And claim His promise there,
That, if His love in us abide
And we in Him are one,
Whatever in His name we ask
It surely will be done.

If in the fountain filled with blood
Our sins are washed away,
Come boldly to a throne of grace,
Rejoicing that we may
Come boldly to a throne of grace,
And bless the Lord our king —
Who fills our grateful hearts with praise,
And tunes our tongues to sing.

From every precious, golden hour
We spend in fervent prayer,
We gather strength from day to day
For each returning care;
And, while with true, believing hearts
We bow before His throne,
There’s not a promise He has made
But we may call our own.

Come lovingly and trustingly,
Take Jesus at His word,
For He has said, the prayer of faith
Was never yet unheard.

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Restores me when wand’ring, redeems when oppressed.

Through valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, Thy staff be my stay;
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.

In midst of affliction my table is spread;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o’er;
With perfume and oil Thou anointest my head;
O what shall I ask of Thy providence more?

Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,
Still follow my steps till I meet Thee above;
I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod,
Through land of their sojourn, Thy Kingdom of love.

Beside the Still Waters

Beside the still waters of peace my shepherd leads;
Peace is my spirit possessing, my soul He feeds.
Pastures so green are around me, waters of life shall flow;
Fairest of flowers surround me, ever I onward go.

Beside the still waters, oh Father, my God,
There lead me, there feed me, there show me Thy Word;
There give me Thy counsel, there grant me Thy peace,
There make all my sorrows and wanderings cease.

Beside the still waters, enlighten my eye,
That I may walk worthily when Thou art nigh;
Cleanse me from presumption, my heart render pure,
Keep me from transgression and make my faith sure.

Beside the still waters, oh bountiful store,
I drink from their plenty and thirst nevermore;
No more I am weary when there I may rest,
And feel with Thy mercy and love I am blessed.

Beside the still waters, Thy goodness is there,
Protects me from danger, preserves me from care;
For pain has no terror and death has no sting,
While Thou art so near me, my Lord and my King.

Psalm 23:3

Savior! I Follow On

Savior! I follow on, guided by Thee,
Seeing not yet the hand that leadeth me;
Hushed be my heart and still, fear I no further ill;
Only to meet Thy will my will shall be.

Riven the rock for me thirst to relieve,
Manna from Heaven falls fresh every eve;
Never a want severe causeth my eye a tear,
But Thou dost whisper near, Only believe!

Often to Marah’s brink have I been brought;
Shrinking the cup to drink, help I have sought;
And with the prayer’s ascent, Jesus the branch hath rent —
Quickly relief hath sent, sweetening the draught.

Savior! I long to walk closer with Thee;
Led by Thy guiding hand ever to be;
Constantly near Thy side, quickened and purified,
Living for Him who died freely for me!

There are heights we cannot reach;
Lord, Thou knowest, only show us,
Every lesson Thou wouldst teach.

Very precious is the trial
That uniteth us to Thee;
Sever e’en the dearest union,
So Thy glory we may see.

Thro’ the valley of the shadow,
Safe upon the other side,
All our weary conflict over,
There with Jesus satisfied.

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;
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;
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;
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 my life becomes a burden, and I’m nearing chilly Jordan,
O Thou “Lily of the Valley,” stand by me.

There’s a Light in the Valley

Through the valley of the shadow I must go,
Where the cold waves of Jordan roll;
But the promise of my shepherd I will know,
Be the rod and the staff to my soul.

Even now down the valley as I glide,
I can hear my Savior say, Follow me!
And with Him I’m not afraid to cross the tide;
There’s a light in the valley for me.

Now the rolling of the billows I can hear,
As they beat on the turf bound shore;
But the beacon light of love so bright and clear,
Guides my bark, frail and lone, safely o’er.

I shall find down the valley no alarms,
For my Savior’s blessed smile I can see;
He will bear me in His loving, mighty arms,
There’s a light in the valley for me.

There’s a light in the valley,
There’s a light in the valley for me,
And no evil will I fear while my Shepherd is so near,
There’s a light in the valley for me.

Psalm 23:5

Drinking From The Saucer

I’ve never made a fortune,
And I'll never make one now,
But it really doesn't matter
’Cause I'm happy anyhow.
As I go along my journey
I'm reaping better than I've sowed,
I'm drinking from the saucer
’Cause my cup has overflowed.

I don’t have a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough,
But with kin and friends to love me
I think I’m rich enough.
I thank God for the blessings
That His mercy has bestowed,
I'm drinking from the saucer
’Cause my cup has overflowed.

He gives me strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough,
I’ll not ask for other blessings for
I’m already blessed enough.
May we never be too busy
To help bear another's load,
Then we’ll all be drinking from the saucer
When our cups have overflowed.

I Shall Dwell Forever There

When the night is o’er and the shadows past,
And eternal dawn dispels the gloom of earthly care;
In the home of God I shall rest at last,
In the land of Eden I shall dwell forever there.

Tho’ my sky be filled with the clouds of time,
And my soul is burdened with forebodings of despair,
Yet, my heart is cheered, for the hope is mine,
If I trust in Jesus I shall dwell forever there.

How my heart will sing when I see the King,
For there is no sovereign that with Jesus can compare;
So the sacrifice of a life I’ll bring,
And with Him in glory, I shall dwell forever there.

I shall walk the streets of the city of God
With its tree of life so bright, so fair,
There will be no night — Jesus is the light,
I shall dwell forever there.

Just and good the Lord abides,

Making them His way to know.

And His testimonies heed.

O teach me what it meaneth, that cross uplifted high,
With One, the Man of Sorrows, condemned to bleed and die!
O teach me what it cost Thee to make a sinner whole;
And teach me, Savior, teach me the value of a soul!
O teach me what it meaneth, that sacred crimson tide,
The blood and water flowing from Thine own wounded side.
Teach me that if none other had sinned, but I alone,
Yet still Thy blood, Lord Jesus, Thine only, must atone.

O teach me what it meaneth, Thy love beyond compare,
The love that reacheth deeper than depths of self-despair!
Yes, teach me, till there gloweth in this cold heart of mine
Some feeble, pale reflection of that pure love of Thine.
O teach me what it meaneth, for I am full of sin,
And grace alone can reach me, and love alone can win.
O teach me, for I need Thee, I have no hope beside —
The chief of all the sinners for whom the Savior died!

O teach me what it meaneth the rest which Thou dost give
To all the heavy-laden who look to Thee and live.
Because I am a rebel Thy pardon I receive
Because Thou dost command me, I can, I do believe.
O infinite Redeemer! I bring no other plea;
Because Thou dost invite me I cast myself on Thee.
Because Thou dost accept me I love and I adore;
Because Thy love constraineth, I’ll praise Thee evermore!

For great in glory is our king.

Though waves of trouble round me roll,

My foes enraged, my way withstand;
Against them Thou wilt stretch Thy hand,
Thine own right hand shall set me free,
And perfect make Thy work for me.

Throughout all ages it extends,
Then on Thy servant pity take,
Thine own hands’ works do not forsake.
