1 Corinthians 8:5-10

• [1Co 8:6] Himself

  Once it was the blessing, Now it is the Lord; Once it was the feeling, Now it is His Word; Once His gift I wanted, Now, the Giver own; Once I sought for healing, Now Himself alone. Refrain All in all forever, Jesus will I sing; Everything in Jesus, And Jesus everything. Once ’twas painful trying, Now ’tis perfect trust; Once a half salvation, Now the uttermost; Once ’twas ceaseless holding, Now He holds me fast; Once ’twas constant drifting, Now my anchor’s cast. Refrain Once ’twas busy planning, Now ’tis trustful prayer; Once ’twas anxious caring, Now He has the care; Once ’twas what I wanted, Now what Jesus says; Once ’twas constant asking, Now ’tis ceaseless praise. Refrain Once it was my working, His it hence shall be; Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me; Once the pow’r I wanted, Now the Mighty One; Once for self I labored, Now for Him alone. Refrain Once I hoped in Jesus, Now I know He’s mine; Once my lamps were dying, Now they brightly shine; Once for death I waited, Now His coming hail; And my hopes are anchored Safe within the veil.

• [1Co 8:6] Jesus

  All that my soul in its sin can need, All that my faith in its prayer can plead; Center of life and soul of my creed Is Jesus to me. Refrain He is my Rock in a weary land, He is my Spring ’midst the desert sand; Strength in my weakness that I may stand, Is Jesus, Jesus. My only claim for all sin forgiv’n, Ground for my hope of a home in Heav’n; Power through which my chains are all riven Is Jesus to me. Refrain Bread for the soul when I hunger sore, Grace for my heart when I thirst for more; Sheltering rock when storms ’round me roar Is Jesus to me. Refrain
