Songs:
“This
is My Commandment”
This
is my commandment that you love one another,
Just
as God has loved you. (repeat)
Just
as God has loved you, Just as God has loved you.
This
is my commandment that you love one another,
Just
as God has loved you.
“The
Wise & Foolish Builder”
And the rains
came tumbling down.
The rains came
down and the floods came up (3 times)
But the house
on the rock stood firm.
And the rains
came tumbling down.
The rains came
down and the floods came up (3 times)
And the house
on the sand fell flat.
And the
blessings will come down.
The blessings
come down as your prayers go up (3 times)
So build your
life on the Lord.
“Into
My Heart”
Into
my heart, Into my heart, come into my heart Lord Jesus.
Come
in today, come in to stay; Come into my heart Lord Jesus.
