3. THERE’S SUNSHINE IN MY SOUL TODAY
1. There's sunshine in my soul today, More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky, For Jesus is my light.
2. There’s music in my soul today, A carol to my King,
And Jesus, listening, can hear The songs I cannot sing.
3. There’s springtime in my soul today,
For when the Lord is near,
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear.
4. There’s gladness in my soul today,
And hope, and praise, and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys "laid up" above.
Chorus
O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine,
When the peaceful, happy moments roll
When Jesus shows His smiling face
There is sunshine in the soul.
4. HEAVE CAME DOWN AND GLORY FILLED MY SOUL
O what a wonderful, wonderful day – day I will never forget
After I’d wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Saviour I met
O what a tender, compassionate friend – He met the need of my heart
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart
Born of the Spirit with life from above into God’s family divine
Justified fully thru Calvary’s love, O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made when as a sinner I came
Took of the offer of grace He did proffer – He saved me, O praise His dear name!
Now I’ve a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time
I have a future in heaven for sure, there in those mansions sublime
And it’s because of that wonderful day when at the cross I believed
Riches eternal and blessings supernal from His precious hand I received
Chorus
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
When at the cross the Savioiur made me whole
My sins were washed away, and my night was turned to day
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul!
5. SIDE BY SIDE WE STAND
Side by side we stand, awaiting God’s command
Worshipping the saving king
Living by His grace and moving on in faith
Jesus Himself will see us through
Soldiers all are we, to go where Jesus leads
We’ll fight in faith and we will overcome
Heaven is our goal to save in every soul
Pray that we all will be there
Chorus
Meet me in heaven, we’ll join hands together
Meet me by the Saviour’s side
I’ll meet you in heaven, we’ll sing songs together
Brothers and Sisters I’ll be there
** Praise the Lord, we all will be there
6. Scripture Reading
John 3: 16
For God so loved the world, that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.
18. What is Truth?
Psalms 119:
142: They righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
and thy law is the truth.
151: Thou art near, O LORD, and all thy commandments
are truth.
John 14: 6 – Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 17: 17– Sanctify them through thy truth, thy word is
truth.
19. “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”
That prayer of Christ for His enemies embraced
the world.
It took in every sinner that had lived or should
live, from the beginning of the world to the end of time.
Upon all rests the guilt of crucifying the Son of
God. To all forgiveness is freely offered.
“Whosoever will” may have peace with God, and
inherit eternal life.
(Desire of Ages, Chapter 78 – Calvary, page 745)
20. And I, if I be lifted
up from the earth,
will draw all men
unto me. (John 12:32)
