Some New "Old" Songs

I was searching for some new music this evening to help lead us in some songs and hymns we have not sung in a while - My Redeemer and He Is Lord.  While looking, I stumbled upon a song that reminded me a lot of something Pastor Jeff shared during this past week's sermon.

Here are the words to the song "He Is Able."

He Is Able

He is able more than able
To accomplish what concerns me today
He is able more than able
To handle anything that comes my way
He is able more than able
To do much more than I could ever dream
He is able more than able
To make me what He wants me to be

When I discovered "He Is Lord", I found an additional site that had extra stanzas.  Like many other creeds in the Christian faith, these extra stanzas help highlight portions of Christ's ministry here on earth we should not only believe, but learn to emulate.  As far as I know, these words were anonymously penned and public domain.  The words to the first stanza are based on Philipians 2:10-11; the following verses are based upon John 12:32; John 3:16, and I John 5:11, according to www.hymnary.org.

He Is Lord

He is Lord, He is Lord!
He is risen from the dead, and He is Lord;
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord!

He is King, He is King!
He will draw all nations to him, He is King;
and the time shall be when the world shall sing
that Jesus Christ is King!

He is Love, He is Love!
He has shown us by his life that He is Love.
All his people sing with one voice of joy
that Jesus Christ is Love!

He Is Life, He is Life!
He has died to set us free and He is Life;
and He calls us all to live evermore,
for Jesus Christ is Life!
