There Is Someone

by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

There is Someone interceding for you.

He's in the heavens and He's praying for you.
There is Someone who stands before the face of God
And knows every one of your needs.
There is Someone. Just believe.

There is Someone who is living for you.

He is list'ning and responding to you.
He's preparing, arranging each circumstance
To meet every one of your needs.
There is Someone. Just believe.

Chorus:
Though you can't see Him, have faith
That He's working behind the scenes.
Though the heavens are silent right now,
Be simple to love and believe
In Jesus our high priest.

There is Someone who is strengthening you.

He's sustaining and He's bearing you through.
You're not forgotten. At this moment you're in His hands.
He's ministering what you need.
Love this Someone and believe.
In the Church of Jesus
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

In the church of Jesus there is love for you,

Love most pure and tender, love most deep and true;
Why should you be lonely, why for friendship sigh,
When the church of Jesus has a full supply?

In the church of Jesus there is life for you,

Warm as summer sunshine, sweet as morning dew;
Why should you be fearful, why take anxious thought,
Since the church of Jesus cares for those He bought?

In the church of Jesus there is work for you;

Such as even angels might rejoice to do;
Why stand idly sighing for some life work grand,
While the church of Jesus seeks your reaping hand?

In the church of Jesus there's a place for you;

Glorious, bright, and joyous, right and peaceful too;
Why then like a wand'rer, roam with weary pace,
If the church of Jesus holds for you a place.
The Comfort Abounds

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

He's the Father of compassions,

The God of all comfort,
Comforting us in a personal way.
Though the sufferings abound,
Christ the Comfort abounds.
Partake of the Comfort today.

The ministry is formed when we turn to the Lord,

And experience Christ in affliction.
Then we unto others a comfort become,
True ministers in resurrection.

So stay open, open to Him,

The God of all comfort,
Then He can touch others in a personal way.
Comfort to you, comfort through you;
The Comfort abounds!
Partake of the Comfort today.
In Nothing Be Anxious
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

In nothing be anxious, but in everything,

By prayer and petition with thanksgiving,
Let your requests be made known to God;
And the peace of God,
Which surpasses every man's understanding,
Will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

And the peace of God is God as peace

Infused into you and me,
Through our fellowship with Him by prayer;
As the counterpoise to troubles,
And the antidote to anxiety,
Mounting guard over us,
Saving us from all our cares.

In all situations, every frustration,

All your anxiety comes from Satan,
To disturb your life of living Christ.
Just stay in the union, living communion,
One with Christ; give everything to Him.
Peace of God through our life of living Christ.
Lord, Look Into Me
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

Lord, I love You. Lord, I need You.

You're the One, the One I need.
To live this life, Lord, I need You always.
By Your presence, Lord, take lead.

Lord, look into me and infuse me

To walk by the strength of your eyes.
Lord, embrace me, bear me in You,
Deep in Your love I hide.

And when I'm weak Lord and can't go on more,

Lift my eyes to gaze on You.
Speak softly to me, come in, subdue me.
In Your strength Lord, take me through.
If the Path I Travel
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

If the path I travel lead me to the cross,

If the way Thou choosest lead to pain and loss,
Let the compensation daily, hourly, be
Shadowless communion, blessed Lord, with Thee.
Shadowless communion, blessed Lord, with Thee.

If there's less of earth joy, give, Lord, more of heaven.

Let the spirit praise Thee, though the heart be riven;
If sweet earthly ties, Lord, break at Thy decree,
Let the tie that binds us, closer, sweeter, be.
Let the tie that binds us, closer, sweeter, be.

Lonely though the pathway, cheer it with Thy smile;

Be Thou my companion through earth's little while;
Selfless may I live, Lord, by Thy grace to be
Just a cleansed channel for Thy life through me.
Just a cleansed channel for Thy life through me.
We Do Not Lose Heart
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

We are pressed on every side; unable to find a way out;

Persecuted and cast down;
Every suffering in the natural man is another opportunity
For our inner man to develop and be renewed.

Chorus:
So we do not lose heart though our outer man is decaying;
We do not lose heart for our inner man is being renewed day by
day;
And we do not regard the temporary things which are seen
But the things which are not seen which are eternal.

Nourish me, Lord, in my sufferings with a fresh supply;

Renew me day by day with resurrection life.
Every suffering in my natural man is another opportunity
For Your life and resurrection to be released.

(Chorus)

We are pressed on every side (but not constricted);

Unable to find a way out (still with a way out);
Persecuted (but not abandoned)
And cast down (but not destroyed)
For our momentary lightness of affliction works out for us
More and more surpassingly an eternal weight of glory.

(Chorus)
From the Head to the Body
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

From the Head to the Body flows a rich supply.

Thus as members of Christ we must relate.
Every need in the Body can be met thereby.
Build us up in Your Body, we pray.

Chorus:
Members one of another, the Body will grow,
As we're knit together in our inward parts.
Open firstly to Christ our Head, then life He will bestow
Through the function in measure of each part.

Christ is Head of the Body; we're His members true.

When we hold fast the Head, life freely flows.
As we're daily enjoying, we with Christ are infused,
All His heart for the Body we'll know.

For the sake of Your Body, Lord, unveil our eyes,

Deal with self, all the ground to You we give.
Save us from independence and all natural ties.
Blend us all in Your Body to live.

One with Christ in His Body, in the rich supply,

Every part causing growth in love each day.
Thus God's purpose eternal will be realized -
Christ expressed through His Body for aye.
Thus God's purpose eternal will be realized -
Christ expressed through His Body for aye.
All Things Work Together
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

Because those whom He foreknew,

He also predestinated
To be conformed to the image of His Son,
That He might be the Firstborn among many brothers;

And those whom He predestinated,

These He also called;
And those whom He called, these He also justified;
And those whom He justified, these He also glorified.

We know all things work together for good

To those who love God,
To those who are called
According to His purpose,
According to His purpose, we know.

We know all things work together for good

To those who love God,
To those who are called
According to His purpose,
According to His purpose, we know.
Fresh As The Dew
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

Fresh as the dew of the morning,

Bringing a sweet rest unheard,
Christ, in the gentle anointing,
Whispers His comforting word:
Stand till the trial is over,
Stand till the tempest is gone,
Stand for the glory of Jesus,
Stand till the kingdom is won.

Chorus:
Lord of all hope, O how sweet is Thy voice,
Making my heart in Thy presence rejoice.

If in the test of my trouble,

Faint be my spirit and heart,
Faith, with the star of hope glimm'ring,
Shall all be taken apart,
May then Thy faith with Thy life-pow'r
Over me hold its full sway
That all Thy riches of glory
Now I may share and for aye.

Lord, as the morning sun dawning,

Chase all my darkness away,
And with Thy kind wings of healing
Turn all my night into day.
Come Thou, O come, Lord of comfort,
Come to my sad, weary heart,
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory,
Never, O never depart.
My Grace Is Sufficient
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

And He has said to me,

My grace is sufficient for you,
And He has said to me,
My grace is sufficient for you,
For My power is perfected in weakness,
For My power is perfected in weakness.

Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses,

In my weaknesses,
Most gladly therefore I will rather boast in my weaknesses,
In my weaknesses
That the power of Christ might tabernacle over me,
That the power of Christ might tabernacle over me.
Trust and Believe
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

Why do you stand alone?

Why are you so withdrawn?
Open to Him, be not afraid,
The Lord will take care of you.
Why do you fear your future
Will only be filled with pain?
You're in His hands, trust in His plans.
He will take care of you.

He loves you more than you know.

Open to Him, just let go
Of all your fears, of all your cares.
Let Him love you. His heart is good toward You.
Trust and believe.

You're a child in God's economy,

Predestinated, chosen, His bride-to-be.
How could He not prepare the best for you?
Let Him love you. He will take care of You.
Trust and believe.

He loves you more than you know.

Open to Him, just let go
Of all your fears, of all your cares.
Let Him love you. He will take care of you.
Trust and believe.
Let Him love you. His heart is good toward you.
Trust and believe.
Whatever May Happen
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

Lord, keep my heart open and soft toward You.

Lord, draw my eyes to see nothing else but You.
Whatever may happen, I know You want to gain my heart.
Though I may not understand,
Just keep dispensing into my every part.

Chorus:
Make me a believer by looking at You (looking at You),
Standing on Your Word, faithful and true.
Mercy's Vessel
by Vessels of Mercy

Album: The Comfort Abounds

by Vessels of Mercy

When this poor sinner stands at last

Perfected as a son,
I'll praise my God for many things
But most what mercy's done.

While far from God and dead in sin

Rich mercy did abound;
I did not ask or seek for God
But yet my Lord I found.

I'm mercy's vessel, this I know,

For God has chosen me;
The riches of His glory shall
Thus manifested be.

Not him who wills can follow now

This way as yet unknown;
Not him who runs can yet pursue,
But to whom mercy's shown.

My Father's lovingkindness, 'tis,

That I am not consumed -
For His compassions never fail;
Each morning they are new.

Through His compassions day by day

I give myself to be
Transformed and built with other saints,
Christ's Body thus to see.
