”Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
All the way my Savior leads me / What have I to ask beside? / Can I doubt His faithful mercies? / Who through life has been my guide / Heavenly peace, divinest comfort /Ere by faith in Him to dwell / For I know whate’er fall me / Jesus doeth all things well
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light
My song shall be of Jesus / His mercy crowns my days / He fills my cup with blessings / And tunes my heart to praise / My song shall be of Jesus / The precious Lamb of God / Who gave Himself my ransom / And bought me with His blood.
After the December 2 incident, Amanda’s theme song has become “Jesus is All the World to Me.” A group of nursing students from Weimar College made a video of themselves singing this hymn to encourage Amanda. We hope you are blessed by this beautiful song as well. Click on the link below to watch the video.
Jesus is all the world to me / My life, my joy, my all / He is my strength from day to day / Without Him I would fall/ When I am sad, to Him I go / no other one can cheer me so / When I am sad, He makes me glad / He’s my friend.
Jesus is all the world to me / My friend in trials sore / I go to Him for blessings, and / He gives them o’er and o’er / He sends the sunshine and the rain / He sends the harvest’s golden grain/ Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain / He’s my friend.
Jesus is all the world to me / And true to Him I’ll be / O how could I this Friend deny / When He’s so true to me? / Following Him I know I’m right / He watches o’er me day and night / Following Him by day and night / He’s my friend.
Jesus is all the world to me / I want no better friend / I trust him now, I’ll trust Him when / Life’s fleeting days shall end / Beautiful life with such a Friend / Beautiful life that has no end / Eternal life, eternal joy / He’s my friend.
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
Moment by moment I’m kept in His love
Moment by moment I’ve life from above
Looking to Jesus till glory doth shine
Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine.
Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown.
I want Jesus to walk with me
I want Jesus to walk with me
All along my pilgrim journey
I want Jesus to walk with me
I have always loved this hymn, but recently it has taken on a new significance for me. Due to the extent and nature of my injuries, I was unable to bear weight on my right leg for months. Activities – like getting from the bed to the toilet – which were previously so easy for me became extremely difficult. I began praying, with literally every step, for Jesus to help me. Now I can partially bear weight on my right leg, but each step is still painful, my knee frequently buckles on me, and my gait is not normal. My muscles are still so weak that I cannot stand or walk for very long. Thus I continue my prayers that Jesus and His angels will surround me and help me as I try to walk. I never thought I’d have to learn to walk again as an adult and that the process would be so difficult and painful, but literally every step of the way, Jesus is helping me.
As children we learn to walk and we get so accustomed to it, we don’t give the process a second thought. Before the incident, I would never pray for help to walk to the bathroom. Similarly, we sometimes get so wrapped up in our lives that spiritually we become very independent. We must always remember that “in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Physically we breathe and move and walk because of Christ’s blessing. And the same is true spiritually. We must always look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, for direction. We can do nothing apart from him. Today and every day, join me in the prayer “I want Jesus to walk with me.”
