I'm not sure this is in a hymnal...
but there's a song called I need thee and when black people sing it in that slow, haunting way.... acapella it can make one cry it goes something like I need Thee, oh I need Thee every hour, I need Thee Bless me now, my savior I come to Thee I think it's usually sung before altar call (to prayer) or baptisms. It's like i can feel history and the spirit and moaning in the song all at the same time... whew! When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak Audre Lord |

I need thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
no tender voice like thine can peace afford. Refrain: I need thee, O I need thee; every hour I need thee; O bless me now, my Savior, I come to thee. 2. I need thee every hour; stay thou nearby; temptations lose their power when thou art nigh. (Refrain) 3. I need thee every hour, in joy or pain; come quickly and abide, or life is vain. (Refrain) 4. I need thee every hour; teach me thy will; and thy rich promises in me fulfill. (Refrain) 5. I need thee every hour, most Holy One; O make me thine indeed, thou blessed Son. (Refrain) Click on the link and you can hear the plain straight version of it...but I have never ever ever ever heard black people sing/play it plain and straight I need thee every hour When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak Audre Lord |

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day. I don't borrow from it's sunshine, For it's skies may turn to gray. I don't worry o'er the future, For I know what Jesus said, And today I'll walk beside Him, For He knows what is ahead. Refrain Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand; But I know Who holds tomorrow, And I know Who holds my hand. Ev'ry step is getting brighter, As the golden stairs I climb; Ev'ry burden's getting lighter; Ev'ry cloud is silver lined. There the sun is always shining, There no tear will dim the eyes, At the ending of the rainbow, Where the mountains touch the sky. Refrain Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand; But I know Who holds tomorrow, And I know Who holds my hand. I don't know about tomorrow, It may bring me poverty; But the One Who feeds the sparrow, Is the One Who stands by me. And the path that be my portion, May be through the flame or flood, But His presence goes before me, And I'm covered with His blood. Refrain Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand; But I know Who holds tomorrow, And I know Who holds my hand.

Precious Lord, take my hand,
Lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; Through the storm, through the night, Lead me on to the light: Refrain Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home. When my way grows drear, Precious Lord, linger near, When my life is almost gone, Hear my cry, hear my call, Hold my hand lest I fall: Refrain When the darkness appears And the night draws near, And the day is past and gone, At the river I stand, Guide my feet, hold my hand: Refrain Truth is undoubtedly the sort of error that cannot be refuted because it was hardened into an unalterable form in the long baking process of history...

Man you got me going now. Others of my favorites would include:

His Eye Is On The Sparrow
Why should I feel discouraged Why should the shadows come Why should my heart feel lonely And long for heaven and home When Jesus is my portion A constant friend is He His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches over me His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches I know He watches I know He watches me I sing because I'm happy I sing because I'm free His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) His eye is on the sparrow And I know He watches me (He watches me) He watches me I know He watches Me Peace, Khalliqa "The Goddess emerges as the evanescence of the inferior dissipates....

"He Touched Me" - This was my father's signature song in church.
"Peace Be Still" - The choir used to ROCK the church with this song! "He Knows Just How Much You Can Bear" - The old folks' choir sang this at my church back in the day; I just love the song. Be a giant or grain of sand/Words of wisdom: YES I CAN! ("Shining Star" - Earth, Wind & Fire) www.preschooljam.com |
