Young People's Songbook #533



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.

All in all forever,
Only Christ I'll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is 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.

All in all forever,
Only Christ I'll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.

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.

All in all forever,
Only Christ I'll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.

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.

All in all forever,
Only Christ I'll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.

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.

All in all forever,
Only Christ I'll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.

Young People's Songbook #413



Just taste and see that the Lord is good;
Just taste and see that the Lord is good.
He's good for you, as He is for me;
So whatever you do, just taste and see.

Just call O Lord - He'll change your life;
Just call O Lord - He'll change your life.
Amazing grace He will afford;
If in every place you call, O Lord.

You'll feel real love coming into your heart.
You'll feel real love coming into your heart.
You'll sense a flow from God above;
And you will know you've found real love.

So praise the Lord for His life in you;
Yes, praise the Lord for His life in you.
Something of Christ He has outpoured
Into your life; so praise the Lord!

Young People's Songbook #500



Christ is everything; I need Him.
He is everything you need; believe Him.
Life is a Person; receive Him.
Open up your heart and see.

Open yourself to the new creation,
Open your eyes to the joy of change.
Life is the fruit of God's creation,
Every new birth is a soul regained.

Christ is everything; I need Him.
He is everything you need; believe Him.
Life is a Person; receive Him.
Open up your heart and see.

Drinking His life from a living fountain,
Sweet water running inside of me.
Oh, how I love to live on the mountain,
Ever since Jesus set me free!

Christ is everything; I need Him.
He is everything you need; believe Him.
Life is a Person; receive Him.
Open up your heart and see.

Follow the Lord like a charging stallion;
Race for the Son with all your might.
Guard your heart like a gold medallion;
Keep the kingdom full in sight.

Christ is everything; I need Him.
He is everything you need; believe Him.
Life is a Person; receive Him.
Open up your heart and see.

Young People's Songbook #211



Nearer each day to me;
Dearer each day to me;
This Person inside me is
Becoming reality,
Saving me, loving me,
Faith and hope giving me.
You're all the world to me,
Jesus, my Lord!

Even when faith is small,
When there's no hope at all,
I hear Him say to me,
"Trust in Me and you'll see
That I'll supply all your needs
If you only you will believe
All anxious doubts will cease
While trusting in Me!"

Young People's Songbook #629



What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my cleansing this I see -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
For my pardon this my plea -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can my sin erase -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
Naught of works, 'tis all of grace -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness -
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Young People's Songbook #104



Good morning, Lord Jesus! Thank You for today; Thank You for my spirit; Thank You I can pray! Good morning, Lord Jesus! To You I love to sing! Thank you, Lord, for everything!

Young People's Songbook #610



I've found the One who's all to me;
He's become reality.
Now He's in my life to stay;
He is the truth, the life, the way.

And Jesus is the One who came
Down to earth to bear our shame,
But that's not all, He lives in me.
Once I was blind, but now I see.

Now through His life we have the flow,
Showing us the way to go;
Keeping us in unity,
And this is His recovery.

And Jesus is the One who came
Down to earth to bear our shame,
But that's not all, He lives in me.
Once I was blind, but now I see.

Now Jesus is the Lord of all;
On His name we all must call.
Then our spirits find release,
And thus our hearts have found real peace.

And Jesus is the One who came
Down to earth to bear our shame,
But that's not all, He lives in me.
Once I was blind, but now I see.

Young People's Songbook #602



Lord, now I see
You only want me to believe,
Not to dwell
On all my failures and defeats -
To believe what You have done,
And not in what I see.

Lord, I believe
When all around me is defeat,
And it seems
That nothing's changing outwardly.
No, I'm not discouraged -
I'm believing You.

Yes, I believe,
And there is no demand on me.
Simple faith
Yes, that is all You want from me.
Freed from anxious doubting, Lord,
I'm free to just believe.

Believing You,
Because, Lord, You are my success.
When I fail, and all I must do is just confess
And go on enjoying You
I love believing You!
