Hymns of Gratitude.

Or gratitude of hymns rather. I was on my way to work this morning, i have an iPod jack... thing... so i can listen to my iPod through my radio.. anyway. And my fathers favorite hymn came on.
I Believe in Christ.

I believe in Christ; he is my King!
With all my heart to him i'll sing;
I'll raise my voice in praise and joy,
In grand amens my tongue employ.
I believe in Christ; he is God's Son.
On earth to dweel his sould did come.
He healed the sick; the dead he raised.
Good works were his; his name be praised.

I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!
As Mary's Son he came to reign
'Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,
To save them from the woes of sin.
I belive in Christ, who marked the path,
Who did gain all his Father hath,
Who said to men, "Come, follow me,
That ye my friends, with God may be."

I believe in Christ- my Lord, my God!
My feet he plants on gospel sod.
I'll worship him with all my might;
He is the source of truth and light.
I believe in Christ, he ransoms me.
From Satan's grasp he sets me free,
And I shall live with joy and love
In his eternal courts above.

I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I'll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: "Ye shall obtain."
I belive in Christ; so come what may,
With him I'll stand in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sonds of men.

Wow... Bruce R. McConkie really knew that i would like this song on this very day. That last verse is incredible!

And again i thought of MY favorite hymn, well... I have many. But i love
I Know that my Redeemer Lives.

I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort his sweet sentence give!
He lives, he live, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry sould to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.

He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
he lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
he lives all blessing to impart.

He lives, my kind, wise heav'nly Friend.
he lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I'll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
he lives to bring me safely there.

He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, Sweet the joy this sentence gives:
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
I know that my Redeemer lives!

This time it was Samuel Medley. :) I love these men. So inspired!

I am so grateful for these hymns! And that they can bless me when i need a lift :)
