Jesus is All the World to Me
Psalm 28
6 Blessed be the Lord, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. 8 The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1), make remarks about the Season of Easter coming to a close. Emphasize that as we begin the Missions Season, we take time to strengthen our faith relationship with Jesus Christ. We do this by remembering the assurances of his help in times of distress and the blessings He so graciously bestows.
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2 - 3 ) read the scripture from Psalm 28:6-9 and Titus 2:11-15. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
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,
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.
