Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:1-16 Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness
With a liberating light.
Praise the One who frees the pris'ners,
Turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the Gospel,
Healing every dread disease,
Calming storms and feeding thousands
With the very bread of peace.
2 Praise the One who blessed the children
With a strong yet gentle word.
Praise the One who drove out demons
With the piercing two-edged sword.
Praise the One who brings cool water
To the desert's burning sand.
From this well comes living water,
Quenching thirst in every land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate:
Christ, who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
That we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
Seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory,
Praise the One who makes us one. Topics: Deliverance; Healing; Jesus; Light; Praise; Water Used With Tune: NETTLETON

The Stranger of Galilee
Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:18 First Line: In fancy I stood by the shore, one day Refrain First Line: And I felt I could love Him forever Lyrics: 1 In fancy I stood by the shore, one day,
Of the beautiful murm’ring sea;
I saw the great crowds as they thronged the way
Of the Stranger of Galilee;
I saw how the man who was blind from birth,
In a moment was made to see;
The lame was made whole by the matchless skill
Of the Stranger of Galilee.
Chorus vs.1-3:
And I felt I could love Him forever,
So gracious and tender was He!
I claimed Him that day as my Savior,
This Stranger of Galilee.
2 His look of compassion, His words of love,
They shall never forgotten be,
When sin-sick and helpless He saw me there,
This Stranger of Galilee;
He showed me His hand and His riven side,
And He whispered, “It was for thee!”
My burden fell off at the pierced feet
Of the Stranger from Galilee. (Chorus)
3 I heard Him speak peace to the angry waves,
Of that turbulent, raging sea;
And lo! at His word are the waters stilled,
This Stranger of Galilee;
A peaceful, a quiet, and holy calm,
Now and ever abides with me;
He holdeth my life in His mighty hands,
This Stranger of Galilee. (Chorus)
4 Come, ye who are driven, and tempest-tossed,
And His gracious salvation see;
He’ll quiet life’s storms with His “Peace, be still!”
This Stranger of Galilee;
He bids me to go and the story tell—
What He ever to you will be,
If only you let Him with you abide,
This Stranger of Galilee.
Oh, my friend, won't you love Him forever?
So gracious and tender is He!
Accept Him today as your Savior,
This Stranger of Galilee.

Come, Follow Me
Author: John Nicholson, 1839–1909 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:19 First Line: "Come, follow me," the Savior said Lyrics: 1. “Come, follow me,” the Savior said.
Then let us in his footsteps tread,
For thus alone can we be one
With God’s own loved, begotten Son.
2. “Come, follow me,” a simple phrase,
Yet truth’s sublime, effulgent rays
Are in these simple words combined
To urge, inspire the human mind.
3. Is it enough alone to know
That we must follow him below,
While trav’ling thru this vale of tears?
No, this extends to holier spheres.
4. Not only shall we emulate
His course while in this earthly state,
But when we’re freed from present cares,
If with our Lord we would be heirs.
5. We must the onward path pursue
As wider fields expand to view,
And follow him unceasingly,
Whate’er our lot or sphere may be.
6. For thrones, dominions, kingdoms, pow’rs,
And glory great and bliss are ours,
If we, throughout eternity,
Obey his words, “Come, follow me.” Topics: Baptism; Exaltation; Jesus Christ Example; Jesus Christ Friend; Jesus Christ Savior; Obedience; Prayer and Supplication; Spirituality Used With Tune: INVITATION
