______________________________________ I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS LYRICS I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold; I'd rather be His than have riches untold; I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands. I'd rather be led by His nail pierced hand Than to be the king of a vast domain Or be held in sin's dread sway. I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today. I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause; I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause; I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame. I'd rather be true to His holy name Than to be the king of a vast domain Or be held in sin's dread sway. I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today. He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom; He's sweeter than honey from out the comb; He's all that my hungering spirit needs. I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead Than to be the king of a vast domain Or be held in sin's dread sway. I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today. Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today.

______________________________________ COME THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING LYRICS Come, Thou Fount of every blessing; tune my heart to sing Thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of God’s redeeming love! Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I’m come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart Lord take and seal it; seal it for Thy courts above. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart Lord take and seal it; seal it for Thy courts above.

______________________________________ WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS LYRICS What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer!
 Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer! Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge-- take it to the Lord in prayer! Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms He'll take and shield thee; thou will find a solace there. In his arms He'll take and shield thee; thou will find a solace there.

______________________________________ THIS IS MY FATHER’S WORLD LYRICS This is my Father's world
 And to my listening ears
 All nature sings and round me rings
 The music of the spheres
 This is my Father's world
 I rest me in the thought
 Of rocks and trees of skies and seas
 His hands the wonders wrought This is my Father's world
 The birds their carols raise
 The morning light the lily white 
Declare their Maker's praise
 This is my Father's world
 He shines in all that's fair
 In the rustling grass I hear Him pass
 He speaks to me everywhere This is my Father’s world O and let me never forget That tho the wrong seem oft so strong God is the ruler yet This is my Father’s world The battle is not done Jesus who died will be satisfied And earth and heaven be one This is my Father’s world The battle is not done Jesus who died will be satisfied And earth and heaven be one Jesus who died will be satisfied And earth and heaven be one

__________________________________ ROCK OF AGES LYRICS Rock of ages cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee Let the water and the blood From Thy wounded side which flowed Be of sin the double cure Save from wrath and make me pure Could my tears forever flow Could my zeal no languor know His for sin could not atone Thou must save and Thou alone In my hand no prize I bring Simply to Your cross I cling While I draw this fleeting breath When my eyes shall close in death When I rise to worlds unknown And behold Thee on Thy throne Rock of ages cleft for me Let me hide myself in Thee

______________________________________ AMAZING GRACE LYRICS Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch; like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found, Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we first begun. We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we first begun.

From the latest AS BOLD AS LIONS podcast: Artificial Intelligence and Christianity (Stuff That’s Been On My Mind) What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 A year spent in Artificial Intelligence is enough to make one believe in God. Alan Jay Perlis. On this next installment of "Stuff That's Been On My Mind," we look at A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) and finding a Christian approach to this technology. We can see already that A.I. is here and influencing much of what we do on a daily basis. Additionally, we know that potential nefarious deeds can or could come as a result of using A.I. As Christians it's my belief (Derek) that we do not run from this conversation or from this technology but we figure out how to use it to benefit the Kingdom while at the same dispelling the darkness it may bring elsewhere.

From the latest AS BOLD AS LIONS podcast: Christian Celebrity Culture (Stuff That’s Been On My Mind) DC Talk's song "What If I Stumble?" from their 1995 Jesus Freak album, feature the opening lyricsIs this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord? Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford? What has always been a temptation with the platform and with the stage is to make the person(s) bigger than the message. Today a quick web search of "Christian Celebrity Culture" will bring up several articles and viewpoints about where we are at as a church culture with our own "celebrities" and big names. Overall, is this a bad thing? Is seeking fame wrong? And if we have influence, is it being used to point people to Christ or simply to ourselves? Today's episode is the first in this "Stuff That's Been On My Mind" series; a series looking at some hot-button issues that need to be looked at within the lens of the Gospel.

From the AS BOLD AS LIONS podcast: Anger For God’s Compassion - Jonah 4 (THE BOOK OF JONAH) Coming to the end of Jonah, we look for a tidy wrap-up and conclusion to a short book that has many twists and turns. But perhaps the question we want answered most, "What happens to Jonah?" is left unresolved. We see through this chapter that Jonah still has a deep sense of pride and contempt in regards to the Ninevites. We see that God provides something for Jonah (a plant), only to take it away. At this, he is angry and upset with God. Overall, we see that God has a heart for the lost and pokes at Jonah's "rights" to be upset with how He [God] acts. Do we have any blindspots within our faith that keeps us from reaching out, just like Jonah? This episode concludes our series but there is still much we can ponder and pray through as we ask the Lord to help us not run from, but fulfill our call in Christ.

 ______________________________________ HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW LYRICS Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, And why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. “Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear, And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubt and fear; Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me.
