Full Lyrics
YOU ARE MY PEOPLE
[Refrain]
You are my people, I am your God,
you are my people, close to my heart.
[Verse 1]
Lord, we are thirsty, walking thro' this desert land,
Lord, we are thirsty, give us to drink!
The Lord sent water from the rock
to give His people to drink.
[Verse 2]
Lord, we are hungry, walking thro' this desert land,
Lord, we are hungry, give us some food!
The Lord sent manna from the sky
to give His people to eat.
[Verse 3]
Lord, we are weary, lost in this desert land,
Lord, we are weary, show us the way!
The Lord sent a pillar of cloud by day,
a pillar of fire by night.
[Verse 4]
Still they cried out, and they complained:
"Where is the Saviour, the anointed One?"
The Lord sent His only Son,
Christ, the anointed One.
[Verse 5]
I give you my body to be your food,
my blood I pour out that you may never thirst,
I give you my light, I give you my love,
I give you my spirit of love.
BLESSED ASSURANCE
[Verse 1]
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine?
Heir of salvation, purchased of God,
Born of the Spirit, washed in His blood.
[Verse 2]
Perfect submission, perfect delight;
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
[Verse 3]
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
[Chorus]
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long.
I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR
[Verse 1]
Most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
[Verse 2]
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their pow'r When Thou art nigh.
[Verse 3]
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.
[Verse 4]
Teach me Thy will;
Thy promises so rich In me fulfill.
[Chorus]
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee,
every hour I need Thee!
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.
