Romans 8:15-17

• [Rom 8:15] Adopted

  O what a blessing, how can I express it? Out of the fullness of rapture I sing, Now by the Father received and adopted, I am a child and an heir of a King. Refrain I am adopted, O wonderful love, Heir to a heritage purchased above; Tell it, my soul, and joyfully sing, I am a child and an heir of a King. O what a Father, how tenderly gracious, O what a Savior to make me His care; Tho’ I have slighted, rejected, and grieved Him, Still He permits me His kingdom to share. Refrain O the unsearchable riches He giveth, Riches increasing from day unto day; Treasures in value all others excelling, Treasures that never will rust nor decay. Refrain When I have finished the work He appoints me, When I have ended my journey below, Then to my Father and Jesus my Savior, Home to a beautiful palace I go. Refrain

• [Rom 8:16] It’s Real

  O how well do I remember How I doubted day by day, For I did not know for certain That my sins were washed away. When the Spirit tried to tell me, I would not the truth receive; I endeavored to be happy And to make myself believe. Refrain But it’s real, it’s real! O I know it’s real Praise God, the doubts are settled, For I know, I know it’s real! When the truth came close and searching, All my joys would disappear, For I did not have the witness Of the Spirit bright and clear. If at times the coming judgment Would appear before my mind, O it made me so uneasy, For God’s smile I could not find. Refrain When the Lord sent faithful servants Who would dare to preach the truth, How my heart did so condemn me As the Spirit gave reproof! Satan said at once, “Twill ruin You now to confess your state; Keep on working and professing, And you’ll enter Heaven’s gate.” Refrain But at last I tired of living Such a life of fear and doubt, For I wanted God to give me Something I would know about, So the truth would make me happy And the light would clearly shine, And the Spirit gave assurance That I’m His and He is mine. Refrain So I prayed to God in earnest, And not caring what folks said. I was hungry for the blessing; My pour soul—it must be fed. Then at last by faith I touched Him And, like sparks from smitten steel, Just so quick salvation reached me. O bless God, I know it’s real! Refrain

  O Thou Whose Spirit witness bears Within our spirits free, That we Thy children are and heirs Of Thine eternity. Here may this simple faith sublime O’er-arch us like the sky; Secure below the drift of time Its firm foundations lie. Our thought o’erflows each written scroll Our creeds arise and fall; The life of God within the soul Lives and outlasts them all.

• [Rom 8:17] A Child Of The King

  My Father is rich in houses and lands, He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands! Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold, His coffers are full, He has riches untold. Refrain I’m a child of the King, A child of the King: With Jesus my Savior, I’m a child of the King. My Father’s own Son, the Savior of men, Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them; But now He is pleading our pardon on high, That we may be His when He comes by and by. Refrain I once was an outcast stranger on earth, A sinner by choice, an alien by birth, But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down, An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown. Refrain A tent or a cottage, why should I care? They’re building a palace for me over there; Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing: All glory to God, I’m a child of the King. Refrain

  Children of the heavenly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing; Sing your Savior’s worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways We are traveling home to God, In the way the fathers trod; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see.

  Do we live so close to the Lord today, Passing to and fro on life’s busy way, That the world in us can a likeness see To the Man of Calvary? Refrain Can the world see Jesus in me? Can the world see Jesus in you? Does your love to Him ring true, And your life and service, too? Can the world see Jesus in you?

• [Rom 8:29] Holy Lamb, Who Thee Receive

  Holy Lamb, who Thee receive, Who in Thee begin to live, Day and night they cry to Thee, As Thou art, so let us be! Jesu, see my panting breast! See I pant in Thee to rest! Gladly would I now be clean, Cleanse me now from every sin. Fix, O fix my wavering mind! To Thy cross my spirit bind; Earthly passions far remove, Swallow up my soul in love. Dust and ashes though we be, Full of sin and misery, Thine we are, Thou Son of God! Take the purchase of Thy blood! Who in heart on Thee believes, He the atonement now receives, He with joy beholds Thy face, Triumphs in Thy pardoning grace. See, ye sinners, see the flame, Rising from the slaughtered Lamb, Marks the new, the living way, Leading to eternal day! Jesus, when this light we see, All our soul’s athirst for Thee; When Thy quickening power we prove, All our heart dissolves in love. Boundless wisdom, power divine, Love unspeakable are Thine: Praise by all to Thee be giv’n, Sons of earth, and hosts of Heav’n!

• [Rom 8:29] Jesus, My Savior, Let Me Be

  Jesus, my Savior, let me be More perfectly conformed to Thee; Implant each grace, each sin dethrone, And form my temper like Thine own. My foe, when hungry, let me feed, Share in his grief, supply his need; The haughty frown may I not fear, But with a lowly meekness bear. Let the envenomed heart and tongue, The hand outstretched to do me wrong, Excite no feeling in my breast, But such as Jesus once expressed. To others let me always give What I from others would receive; Good deeds for evil ones return, Nor when provoked, with anger burn.

Refrain Open the wells of grace and salvation, Pour the rich streams deep into my heart; Cleanse and refine my thought and affection, Seal me and make me pure as Thou art. Dead to the world would I be, O Father! Dead unto sin, alive unto Thee; Crucify all the earthly within me, Emptied of sin and self may I be.

Lord, let Thy Spirit, new love and life bestowing, Create a holy heart my breast within; That I, into my Savior’s likeness growing, May bear His image through a world of sin.

O Love, who ere life’s earliest dawn, On me Thy choice hast gently laid; O Love, who here as Man wast born, And wholly like to us wast made; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be. O Love, who once in time wast slain, Pierced through and through with bitter woe; O Love, who wrestling thus didst gain That we eternal joy might know; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be.

O Love, who thus hast bound me fast Beneath that easy yoke of Thine; Love, who hast conquered me at last, Enrapturing this heart of mine— O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be. O Love, who lovest me for aye, Who for my soul dost ever plead; O Love, who didst that ransom pay Whose power sufficeth in my stead; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be. O Love, who once shalt bid me rise From out this dying life of ours; O Love, who once o’er yonder skies Shalt set me in the fadeless bowers; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be.

• [Rom 8:31] If God Himself Be For Me

  If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy, For when I pray, before me my foes confounded fly. If Christ, the Head, befriend me, if God be my support, The mischief they intend me shall quickly come to naught. I build on this foundation, that Jesus and His blood Alone are my salvation, the true eternal good; Without Him, all that pleases is valueless on earth: The gifts I owe to Jesus alone my love are worth. His Holy Spirit dwelleth within my willing heart, Tames it when it rebelleth, and soothes the keenest smart. He crowns His work with blessing, and helpeth me to cry “My Father!” without ceasing to Him Who reigns on high. To mine His Spirit speaketh sweet words of soothing power, How God to Him that seeketh for rest, hath rest in store; How God Himself prepareth my heritage and lot, And though my body weareth, my Heav’n shall fail me not.

Let troubles rise, and terrors frown, And days of darkness fall; Through Him all dangers we’ll defy, And more than conquer all. Nor death, nor life, nor earth, nor hell, Nor time’s destroying sway Can e’er efface us from His heart Or make His love decay.

• [Rom 8:31] What Shall We Say?

  What shall we say? If God indeed is for us, Who then can ever come against our souls? God did not spare His only Son, our Savior, But gave Him up that we might be made whole. How will He not, along with Christ our Lord, Give us all things by His free grace? God will indeed, along with Christ our Lord, Give us all things by His free grace. Now who will bring a charge against God’s chosen? God is the One Who justifies each man. Who can condemn? Christ Jesus died for sinners, Was raised to life, and sits at God’s right hand. From there He always intercedes for us; None can condemn—we’re justified. He intercedes and brings our case to God; None can condemn—we’re justified. Who then shall cleave us from the love of Jesus? We who face death like sheep within their pen. Shall trouble, hardship, persecution, hunger? Shall nakedness or danger or armed men? No, in all things we’re more than conquerors Through Him Who loved us to the death. In all these things, we’re more than conquerors Through Him Who loved us to the death. I am convinced there’s naught in all creation Can come between us and God’s love so vast. Not death nor life, angels nor demon powers, Things present now, nor what is yet to pass. Nothing can separate us from God’s love That comes to us through Christ our Lord! Nothing can separate us from God’s love That comes to us through Christ our Lord!
