by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for Jesus' sake.

of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more!"

days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these!"

Savior, may we hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all.

Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Personal Holiness; Aspiration and Resolve; Commitment; Jesus Christ Presence; Trust Lyrics: 1. Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free.
Force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
2. My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure,
it varies with the wind.
It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
3. My power is faint and low
till I have learned to serve;
it lacks the needed fire to glow,
it lacks the breeze to nerve.
It cannot drive the world
until itself be driven;
its flag can only be unfurled
when thou shalt breathe from heaven.
4. My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign.
It only stands unbent
amid the clashing strife,
when on thy bosom it has leant,
and found in thee its life.
Scripture: Ephesians 3:1 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

who once went sorrowing here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
and joy without a tear.
3. The consecrated cross I'll bear
till death shall set me free;
and then go home my crown to wear,
for there's a crown for me.

all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Christ the Saviour is our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do our friends despise, forsake us?
Are we tempted to despair?
Jesus' strength will shield our weakness,
and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP
