Every Tribe and Tongue--preparations for an eternity of praising our God!While we prepared for deputation, we had the opportunity to produce a CD of conservative Christian music. It contains 16 tracks of instrumental, mixed vocal quartet, and several duets. Our prayer is that this CD will serve as an effective prayer reminder for people to remember our ministry. If you would like to obtain a copy, please contact us. Also, you will find the words to each track listed here.

Every Tribe and TongueOriginal Words and Music by Nathan Arnold, Beneath the light of distant skies, a sorrow fills the searching heart. A prayer that God would show the way, His wondrous truth impart. To every place creation speaks, and yet the truth must still be told, The love of Jesus and His power to make the wounded spirit whole. A vision calling in the night, O who will come for us today? Oh who will help us in our need to cast our night away? Into eternity they go with every day and passing hour. Without a messenger of truth to bring the Spirit's mighty power. Above the throng of angle choirs a chorus rises to the throne, A song of hearts from sin released, a song of joys unknown. Oh may I hear within that choir the voice of those whom I have told, The heart that sings of Jesus' love and of the sinner's ransomed soul. CHORUS: That every tribe and tongue in every distant place, May hear the Savior's name and know redeeming grace. O send your gospel forth that all may sing your praise, From every tribe and tongue! Hope in the Lord (Psa. 130)Out of the depths I cry to Thee, O Lord, hear my prayer.
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy. If you Oh Lord should mark man's sin, O Lord, who could stand? But with You, there is forgiveness that you may be feared. I wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in His Word I hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than the watchmen for the morning. O Israel hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is steadfast love. O Israel hope in the Lord, for with Him is plentiful redemption. And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Oh Israel hope in the Lord, for with Him is plentiful redemption. To You I Lift Up My EyesTo You I lift up my eyes; O You Who are enthroned in the Heavens.
To You I lift up my hands; O hear my prayer, I cry to You. To You I lift my soul; O Lord my God, in You I trust. Christ is Risen, Alleluia!Christ is risen alleluia, risen our victorious head.
Sing his praises alleluia, Christ is risen from the dead. Gratefully our hearts adore him as his light once more appears. Bowing down in joy before him, rising up from grief and tears. Alleluia, Christ is risen! Christ is risen, all the sadness of His earthly life is o'er. Through the open gates of gladness he returns to life once more. Death and hell before Him bending, he doth rise the victor now. Angels on his steps attending glory round his wounded brow. Alleluia, Christ is risen! See the grave give up her master, see her powers before Him fall. We are Christ's in him forever, we have triumphed over all. All the doubting and dejection of our trembling hearts have ceased. Tis his day of resurrection. Let us rise and keep the feast. Our Lord is risen! Christ is risen, alleluia, sing his praises to the sky. Raise the shout of heaven's chorus, hear the earth's triumphant cry! Alleluia! Christ is risen ! In His beauty we adore Him. Sacrifice for Adam's race. In his glory we behold him, throned in might and robed in grace. Alleluia, Christ is risen! The Lord is Near to All Who Call On HimThe Lord is near to all who call on Him.
The Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call on Him. Call on Him while He is near. Draw Near to God; He'll draw near to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your hearts. May the Mind of Christ My SaviorMay the mind of Christ my Saviour live in me from day to day.
By his love and power controlling all I do and say. May the word of God dwell richy from hour to hour. So that all may see I triumph only through His power. May the peace of God my Father rule my life in everything. That I may be calm to comfort, sick and sorrowing. May the love of Jesus fill me as the waters fill the sea. Him exalting, self abasing. This is victory! May I run the race before me strong and brave to face the foe. Looking only unto Jesus as I onward go. May his beauty rest upon me as I seek the lost to win. And may they forget the channel, seeing only him. For the Sake of Thy NameGod is calling out a people from every tongue and nation
to proclaim His glory and sing of His fame. Oh who will go to tell them the message of salvation As servants of the Lord for the sake of His name? Chosen from every nation redeemed by His precious blood to magnify his mercy and praise His holy name. Oh who will send the soldiers to tell of His great love As servants of the Lord for the sake of His name? Triumphantly they sing, worthy is the Lamb! Alleluia to the King, to the great I Am! Oh who will pray victorious in earnest to the King As servants of the Lord for the sake of His name? CHORUS: For the sake of Thy name we'll go forth to serve thee. For the sake of Thy name, faithful worshippers to seek. For the sake of Thy name, oh help us to proclaim Thy Word throughout the world for the sake of Thy name. If Thou But Suffer God to Guide TheeIf thou but suffer God to guide thee,
And hope in God through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love Builds on the rock that naught can move. Only be still, and wait God's leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er thy Maker's pleasure And all-discerning love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known, To Him Who chose us for His own. Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving; In every labor faithful be, And trust His word; though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee. God never yet forsook in need The soul that trusted Him indeed. |

God of time, God of space, giving life to Adam's race Torn from thee by Adams fall, Lord to thee we raise the call God of time, God of space, meet with us in this place. Spotless lamb come for me, reconcile my debt to thee Sinful man helpless lost, thou has paid the dreadful cost. Take away our bent to sin, wash our hearts and cleanse within. lamb of god slain for me, lamb of life hear my plea. Bread of life, daily bread, by thy grace our souls are fed. Broken once, all to feed, give us strength for every need. Blest communion through the son, all our hearts are knit as one. Bread of life, daily bread, to thy feast we are led. King of kings, Lord of lords, heavens anthems shout the chords. Holy God, angel bright, conquering all the hosts of night. Alleluia , praise the lamb, God of ages, great I Am. Master Lord, claim thine own, take my heart as Thy throne. At CalvaryYears I spent in vanity in pride, caring not my Lord was crucified.
Knowing not it was for me He died, on Calvary. By God's word at last my sin I learned. Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned. Till by guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary. Oh the love that drew salvation's plan! Oh the grace that brought it down to man. On the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary. CHORUS: Mercy there was great and grace was free. Pardon there was multiplied to me. There my heart burdened soul found liberty. At Calvary. Oh Master, Let Me Walk With TheeOh Master let me walk with thee in lowly paths of service free.
Show me the secret help me bear the strain of toil, the fret of care. Oh help me the slow of heart to move by some clear winning word of love Teach me the wayward feet to stay and guide them on their homeward way. Tach me thy patience still with thee in closer dearer company, In work that keeps faith sweet and strong In trust that triumphs over wrong. In hope that sends a shining ray, in future's broadening way In peace that only Thou canst give, oh Master let me live with thee! Master let me walk with thee, with thee! The Love of GodThe love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, And reaches to the lowest hell; The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, And pardoned from his sin. Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky. CHORUS:Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure-- The saints’ and angels’ song. In Heavenly Love AbidingIn heavenly love abiding no change my heart shall fear.
And safe is such confiding for nothing changes here. The storm may roar around me, my heart may low be laid. But God is round about me, and can I be dismayed. Wherever he may guide me, no want shall turn me back. My shepherd is beside me and nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waking, his sight is never dim. He knows the way he's taking and I will walk with him. Green pastures are before me which yet I have not seen. Bright skies will soon be o'er me where darkest clouds have been. My hope i cannot measure, my path to life is free. My saviour is my treasure. My saviour is my treasure! And He will walk with me! Let There Be LightThou, whose almighty Word chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight; Hear us, we humbly pray, And, where the Gospel’s day sheds not its glorious ray, Let there be light! Spirit of truth and love, life-giving, holy Dove, Speed forth Thy flight; Move on the water’s face Bearing the lamp of grace, and, in earth’s darkest place, Let there be light! Blessed and holy Three, glorious Trinity, Wisdom and might! Boundless as ocean’s tide, Rolling in fullest pride, through the world far and wide, Let there be light! Before Jehovah's Mighty ThroneBefore Jehovah's mighty throne all nations bow with thankful joy.
And know the Lord is God alone with all your powers His praise employ. We are his people we are his own, our souls and all our mortal frame And when like sheep we erred, He sought us out our souls to cl aim Our wandering souls to claim. Wide as the world is Thy command. Vast as eternity Thy love. Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand. Thy power reign in heaven above; Thy power reign in heaven above. Before thy gates with thankful songs we'll highest heaven our voices raise And earth with her ten thousand tongues shall fill thy courts with praise Shall fill thy courts with praise. Alleluia! |
