The Name of Jesus Is So Sweet





or



The Name of Jesus is so sweet,
I love its music to repeat;
It makes my joys full and complete,
The precious Name of Jesus!


Refrain


“Jesus,” O how sweet the Name!
“Jesus,” every day the same;
“Jesus,” let all saints proclaim
Its worthy praise forever!

I love the Name of Him Whose heart
Knows all my griefs and bears a part;
Who bids all anxious fears depart,
I love the Name of Jesus!


Refrain

That Name I fondly love to hear,
It never fails my heart to cheer;
Its music dries the falling tear,
Exalt the Name of Jesus!


Refrain

No word of man can ever tell
How sweet the Name I love so well;
O let its praises ever swell,
O praise the Name of Jesus!


Refrain

Greater Grace




 


another version

The Correct Lyrics:

Long ago even before
You made the world
You chose me
Through what Christ would do
A greater grace
You gave to me
You are the source
And Jesus is the means

Forgiveness, adoption, acceptance
Is Your grace
And I fall on my face
And I yield to You

Jesus bleibet meine Freude by Johann Sebastian Bach






According to this Wiki article: The music of the chorale movements is now best known for the piano transcription by Dame Myra Hess of Hugh P. Allen's choral version of Bach's arrangement, and is notable under the title Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring which approximately relates to "Jesus bleibet meine Freude", more closely translated as "Jesus shall remain my gladness"

I like that more literal translation, "Jesus shall remain my gladness"

Here are other versions:











Love God Hate Sin by Mylon LeFevre







This is a fun CCM classic song from 1987 (26 years ago!!!). It's almost humorous, but it's got a really good message. ;-)

Dust in The Wind by Kansas







According to one source this song was written by Kansas guitarist Kerry Livgren. He wrote it after reading a book on Native American poetry. The line that caught his attention was "For All We Are Is Dust In The Wind." Livgren eventually converted to Christianity after a long spiritual search for the truth.

There are various videos on YouTube where Kerry Livgren gives his Christian conversion testimony. Here are links to just two of them:

Bannerman by Steve Taylor




Steve Taylor's original music video

One man's grinning from behind the net
Waits 'til the camera's adjusted
Don't you worry 'bout the flak you'll get?
Aren't you scared of getting busted?

The ball gets booted
It hits the crossbeam
Up goes the banner
"JOHN 3:16"

He don't worry 'bout the critics
They tow the line
He don't worry 'bout the cynics
They live to whine
He ain't gonna change the world
But he knows who can
Bannerman

Prime time football in the Buffalo snow
Freezing his little epidermis
Lifts that banner at the first field goal
Drinks clam chowder from a thermos

He's never missed a game
He never spells it wrong
He never talks back when they tell him "Move Along"

He don't worry 'bout the critics
They'll howl for days
He don't worry 'bout the cynics
They navel-gaze
He ain't gonna change the world
But he knows who can
Bannerman

Sports fans everywhere dying for a drink
But they've gotta find the well first
One man's ready with a banner and a wink
A whole lotta souls are getting well-versed

Every time I see him
I smile a little more
I can't help praying for another high score

He don't worry 'bout the critics
They'll howl for days
He don't worry 'bout the cynics
They navel-gaze
He ain't gonna change the world
But he knows who can
Bannerman

He don't worry 'bout the critics
They've met their match
He don't worry 'bout the cynics
They sniff and scratch
He ain't gonna change the world
But he knows who can
Bannerman

Sometimes By Step by Rich Mullins


http://youtu.be/y-b7TQMoZsM


http://youtu.be/J2KOCgC8DnU
Live version

http://youtu.be/GEkiXIWA4ls
Live version

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done
CHORUS:
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach
CHORUS
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
(Sometimes the night was beautiful)
And I will follow You all of my days

El Shaddai

My understand is that this song was written and originally sung by Michael Card, but really popularized by Amy Grant. I'm not sure if that's the case, but it's a wonderful song.

Secret Ambition by Michael W. Smith

Previously posting Michael W. Smith's song "Place In This World", I'm reminded of another one of his music videos that I loved as a teenager.

Secret Ambition


Place In This World by Michael W. Smith


Seeing Christian comedian and singer Mark Lowry sing in the last music video I posted, I was reminded of his hilarious parody of Michael W. Smith's song "Place In This World" titled "Face In This World." So, I'm posting links to both videos.

Place In This World



Face In This World
