haitian night prayer

Jesus took my burden

Musical Introduction

1

When I, a poor, lost sinner,
Before the Lord did fall,
And in the name of Jesus
For pardon loud did call;
He heard my supplication,
And soon the weak was strong,
For Jesus took my burden,
And left me with a song.

Refrain

Yes, Jesus took my burden
I could no longer bear,
Yes, Jesus took my burden
In answer to my prayer;
My anxious fears subsided,
My spirit was made strong,
For Jesus took my burden,
And let me with a song.

2

Ofttimes the way is dreary,
And rugged seems the road,
Ofttimes I'm weak and weary,
When bent beneath some load;
But when I cry in weakness,
"How long, O Lord, how long?"
Then Jesus takes the burden,
And leaves we with a song.

3

When I was crushed with sorrow
I bowed in deep despair,
My load of grief and heartache
Seemed more than I could bear;
'Twas when I heard a whisper,
"You to the lord belong,"
Then Jesus took my burden,
And left me with a song.

4

I'll trust Him for the further,
He knoweth all the way,
For with His eye He'll guide me
Along life's pilgrim way;
And I will tell in heaven,
While ages roll along,
How Jesus took my burden,
And left me with a song.

I Know Whom I Have Believed - 511

Musical Introduction

1

I know not why God's wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.

Refrain

But "I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that He is able
To keep that which I've committed
Unto Him against that day."

2

I know not how this saving faith
To me He did impart,
Nor how believing in His word
Wrought peace within my heart.

3

I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing men of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the word,
Creating faith in Him.

4

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I walk the vale with Him,
Or meet Him in the air.

(ESV) Psalms 23: 1-6

Musical Introduction

1

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3

He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Our Father

Musical Introduction

The Lord's Prayer. Our Father, which art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For thou is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, Forever.
