2011 Earliest 4 Hymns


You are the One
                        Jeffrey B. Childs 10/05/11
You are the one
we worship and adore
you are the one
who loves us and loves us more

you are the one
who created all that is
you are the one
who made us and all that lives

you are the one
we worship and adore
you are the one
we pray to and implore

you are the one
who knows our every need
you are the one
who calls us as you lead

you are the one
whose Kingdom reigns on earth
you are the one
who gives to us new birth

you are the one
who knows our every pain
you are the one
whose death brings life again  

Come to the Water of Life (John 4)
                        Jeffrey B. Childs

We're drawn to the waters
As sons and as daughters
We are drawn to the water of life
Come, we’re forgiven
For Jesus we’re livin’
Come to the water of life

Baptism prepares us
For a new life in Jesus
We're drawn to the water of life
At the well was cool water
And a Samaritan daughter
Come to the water of life
Jesus dared to invite her
To a life that is brighter
She went and told others
All the sisters and brothers
Jesus is the water of life  

Born from Above
                        Jeffrey B. Childs

The arms of Jesus hold each of us tight
Through struggles by day, and anguish by night
But nothing can separate us from His dear love
For those who in Him are born from above

Though life is painful and sometimes just hard
Misery and conflict can leave us quite scarred
But nothing can separate us from His dear love
For those who in Him are born from above

The One who was crucified knows our deep pain
And heals through forgiveness again and again
But nothing can separate us from His dear love
For those who in Him are born from above

All Things Can Be Done (Philippians 4.13)
                        Jeffrey B. Childs

When I am weary
When I am weak
When I feel timid
When I feel meek
All things can be done
In the name of the One

I cry out to Jesus
For help and for hope
Jesus is there
At the end of the rope
All things can be done
In the name of the One

Then I can hang on
I can climb on back up
For all things can be done
In the name of the One  
All things can be done
In the name of the One

  The Laborers Are Few                                   Jeffrey B. Childs 7/1/2025 (Tune: Land of Rest UMH 695)   Throughout the world there is much need, The Lord calls me and you. Remembering what the Lord decreed, The laborers are few.   As you have learned share what you've heard, To spread the whole world through. As disciples we've heard the word, The laborers are few.   Let us get up out of our pews, For there is much to do.

  On Pentecost                                   Jeffrey B. Childs 6/2/2025 (Tune: Maryton UMH 654)   On Pentecost that day of days, Disciples were filled with praise. When the Spirit came upon them, As apostles they did blossom.   With spiritual ability, In foreign tongues they did decree, The good news of the Lord Jesus. So, what about the rest of us?   Do we just hear an oft’ told story, Of the Spirit and its glory? Or do we claim and share the same, And then proclaim Jesus’ name.   As we gather, in this hour, May we feel the Spirit’s power. Like prophets let us prophecy, And as witnesses, testify.   O Lord, I Come to You in Prayer                    ...
