Holy Week Hymn Sing: Thursday, April 9

Were You There?

 Were you there when they crucified my Lord

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

O sometimes it causes me to tremble tremble tremble

Were you there when they crucified my Lord

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree

O sometimes it causes me to tremble tremble tremble

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree

Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley

Jesus walked this lonesome valley, he had to walk it by himself;

O nobody else could walk it for him, he had to walk it by himself.

Jesus prayed for his disciples; he prayed alone for you and me.

O, nobody else could bear such sorrow; he prayed alone for you and me.

Jesus died on Calvary’s mountain; he died alone for you and me.

O nobody else could die for sinners; he had to die for you and me.

Ah, Holy Jesus

Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended,

That mortal judgement has on you descended?

By foes derided , by your own rejected,

O most afflicted!

Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you?

It is my treason, Lord, that has undone you.

‘Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you;

I crucified you.

Therefore, dear Jesus, since I cannot pay you,

I do adore you, and will ever pray you,

Think on your pity and your love unswerving,

Not my deserving.

What Wondrous Love

 What wondrous love is this, O my soul O my soul

What wondrous love is this O my soul

What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss

To bear the dreadful curse for my soul for my soul

To bear the dreadful curse for my soul

When I was sinking down, sinking down sinking down

When I was sinking down sinking down

When I was sinking down beneath God's righteous frown

Christ laid aside His crown for my soul for my soul

Christ laid aside his crown for my soul

To God and to the Lamb I will sing I will sing

To God and to the Lamb I will sing

To God and to the Lamb who is the Great I Am

While millions join the themenI will sing I will sing

While millions join the theme I will sing

Lamb of God

Your only Son no sin to hide

But You have sent Him from Your side

To walk upon this guilty sod

And to become the Lamb of God

Your gift of love they crucified

They laughed and scorned Him as He died

The humble King they named a fraud

And sacrificed the Lamb of God

REFRAIN:

Oh Lamb of God sweet Lamb of God

I love the holy Lamb of God

Oh wash me in His precious blood

My Jesus Christ the Lamb of God

I was so lost I should have died

But You have brought me to Your side

To be led by Your staff and rod

And to be called a lamb of God

(REFRAIN)

Jesus Paid it All

I hear the Savior say thy strength indeed is small

Child of weakness watch and pray find in Me thine all in all

REFRAIN:

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find Thy pow'r and Thine alone

Can change the leper's spots and melt the heart of stone

(REFRAIN)

And when before the throne I stand in Him complete

Jesus died my soul to save my lips shall still repeat

(REFRAIN)

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

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

I will not boast in anything no gifts no pow’r 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

What Grace is Mine

(sung to “Danny Boy” LONDONDERRY AIR)

What grace is mine that He who dwells in endless light

Called through the night to find my distant soul

And from His scars poured mercy that would plead for me

That I might live and in His name be known

REFRAIN:

So I will go wherever He is calling me

I lose my life to find my life in Him

I give my all to gain the hope that never dies

I bow my heart take up my cross and follow Him

What grace is mine to know His breath alive in me

Beneath His wings my wakened soul may soar

All fear can flee for death's dark night is overcome

My Savior lives and reigns forevermore

(REFRAIN)
