2 Corinthians 5:8-20

• [2Co 5:8] We’re Going Home Tomorrow

  We’re going home, no more to roam, No more to sin and sorrow; No more to wear the brow of care, We’re going home tomorrow. Refrain We’re going home, we’re going home tomorrow, We’re going home, we’re going home tomorrow. For weary feet awaits a street Of wondrous pave and golden; For hearts that ache, the angels wake The story, sweet and olden. Refrain For those who sleep, and those who weep, Above the portals narrow, The mansions rise beyond the skies— We’re going home tomorrow. Refrain Oh, joyful song! Oh, ransomed throng! Where sin no more shall sever; Our King to see, and, oh, to be With Him at home forever! Refrain

• [2Co 5:14] In The Lord’s Atoning Grief

  In the Lord’s atoning grief Be our rest and sweet relief; Store we deep in heart’s recess All the shame and bitterness. Thorns, and cross, and nails, and lance, Wounds, our treasure that enhance, Vinegar, and gall, and reed, And the pang His soul that freed. May these all our spirits sate, And with love inebriate; In our souls plant virtue’s root, And mature its glorious fruit. Crucified! we Thee adore, Thee with all our hearts implore; Us with saintly hands unite In the realms of heavenly light. Christ, by coward hands betrayed, Christ, for us a Captive made, Christ, upon the bitter tree Slain for man, be praise to Thee.

• [2Co 5:15] O The Bitter Shame And Sorrow

  O the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be, When I let the Savior’s pity Plead in vain, and proudly answered, “All of self, and none of Thee!” Yet He found me; I beheld Him Bleeding on th’accursèd tree, Heard Him pray, “Forgive them, Father!” And my wistful heart said faintly, “Some of self, and some of Thee!” Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping, full and free, Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient, Brought me lower, while I whispered, “Less of self, and more of Thee!” Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered: Grant me now my supplication, “None of self, and all of Thee!”

• [2Co 5:15] Servant Of God, Remember

  Servant of God, remember The stream thy soul bedewing, The grace that came upon thee Anointing and renewing. When kindly slumber calls thee, Upon thy bed reclining, Trace thou the cross of Jesus, Thy heart and forehead signing. The cross dissolves the darkness, And drives away temptation; It calms the wavering spirit By quiet consecration. Begone, begone, the terrors Of vague and formless dreaming; Begone, thou fell deceiver, With all thy boasted scheming. Begone, thou crooked serpent, Who, twisting and pursuing, By fraud and lie preparest The simple soul’s undoing. Tremble, for Christ is near us, Depart, for here He dwelleth, And this, the sign thou knowest, Thy strong battalions quelleth. Then while the weary body Its rest in sleep is nearing, The heart will muse in silence On Christ and His appearing. To God, eternal Father, To Christ, our King, be glory, And to the Holy Spirit, In never ending story.

• [2Co 5:17] Father, Son And Holy Ghost

  Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, In solemn power come down! Present with Thy heavenly host, Thine ordinance to crown: See a sinful worm of earth! Bless to him the cleansing flood, Plunge him, by a second birth, Into the depths of God. Let the promised inward grace Accompany the sign; On his new-born soul impress The character divine; Father, all Thy Name reveal! Jesus, all Thy Name impart! Holy Ghost, renew, and dwell For ever in his heart!

• [2Co 5:20] Ambassadors Of God

  God, the offended God most high, Ambassadors to rebels sends; His messengers His place supply, And Jesus begs us to be friends. Us, in the stead of Christ, they pray, Us, in the stead of God, entreat, To cast our arms, our sins, away, And find forgiveness at His feet. Our God in Christ! Thine embassy, And proffered mercy, we embrace; And gladly reconciled to Thee, Thy condescending goodness praise. Poor debtors, by our Lord’s request A full acquittance we receive! And criminals, with pardon blessed, We, at our Judge’s instance, live!

• [2Co 5:20] Channels Only

  How I praise Thee, precious Savior, That Thy love laid hold of me; Thou hast saved and cleansed and filled me That I might Thy channel be. Refrain Channels only, blessèd Master, But with all Thy wondrous power Flowing through us, Thou canst use us Every day and every hour. Just a channel full of blessing, To the thirsty hearts around; To tell out Thy full salvation All Thy loving message sound. Refrain Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me, A clean vessel in Thy hand; With no power but as Thou givest Graciously with each command. Refrain Witnessing Thy power to save me, Setting free from self and sin; Thou who boughtest to possess me, In Thy fullness, Lord, come in. Refrain Jesus, fill now with Thy Spirit Hearts that full surrender know; That the streams of living water From our inner self may flow. Refrain

• [2Co 5:20] Make Me A Channel Of Blessing

  Is your life a channel of blessing? Is the love of God flowing through you? Are you telling the lost of the Savior? Are you ready His service to do? Refrain Make me a channel of blessing today, Make me a channel of blessing, I pray; My life possessing, my service blessing, Make me a channel of blessing today. Is your life a channel of blessing? Are you burdened for those that are lost? Have you urged upon those who are straying, The Savior Who died on the cross? Refrain Is your life a channel of blessing? Is it a daily telling for Him? Have you spoken the Word of salvation To those who are dying in sin? Refrain We cannot be channels of blessing If our lives are not free from known sin; We will barriers be and a hindrance To those we are trying to win. Refrain

• [2Co 5:20] Ye Messengers Of Christ

  Ye messengers of Christ, His sov’reign voice obey; Arise and follow where He leads, And peace attend your way. The Master Whom ye serve, Will needful strength bestow; Depending on His promised aid, With sacred courage go. Mountains shall sink to plains, And hell in vain oppose; The cause is God’s and must prevail, In spite of all His foes. Go, spread a Savior’s Name, And tell His matchless grace, To the most guilty and depraved Of Adam’s numerous race.
