O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

I’d rather have Jesus Lyrics

1 I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands.
I’d rather be led by His nail pierced hand

Chorus:
Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin’s dread sway.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

2 I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame.
I’d rather be true to His holy name [Chorus]

3 He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs.
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead [Chorus]

There is no storm too dark
God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe it

Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know, my brother, that He will carry you
Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
I know, my sister, that He will carry you

He said, “Come on to me all who are weary
And I will give you rest, rest, rest, rest”

Rest, rest, rest
Rest, rest, rest

There is no problem too big
God cannot solve it
There is no mountain too tall
He cannot move it

There is no storm too dark
God cannot calm it
There is no sorrow too deep
He cannot soothe it

Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
Oh, I know, my brother, that He will carry you
Oh, if He carried the weight of the world upon His shoulders
Oh, I know, my sister, that He will carry you
I know, my brother, and I know, my sister, that Jesus will carry you

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Song by The Isaacs

I don’t know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don’t borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey
I don’t worry o’er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I’ll walk beside Him
For He knows what is ahead
Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow,
And I know who holds my hand
I don’t know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty
But the one who feeds the sparrow
Is the one who stands by me
And the path that be portion
May be through the flame or flood
But His presence goes before me
And I’m covered with His blood
Many things about tomorrow
I don’t seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand

The Booth Brothers was initially formed in the 1950s by Ron Booth Sr. with his brothers Charles, James, and Wallace, after they moved to Detroit. However, Ron decided to disband the group in 1963 when he joined The Toney Brothers. In 1990, Ron’s youngest son, Michael, decided to revive the group with his brother Ronnie II (b. June 28, 1965), and his father. They started performing and touring around Florida and recorded several albums. In 1998, Ron decided to retire and the remaining brothers started looking for a replacement. They recorded several albums with Joseph Smith, who was later replaced by Jim Brady. Brady remained with them until 2014, at which point he was replaced by Paul Lancaster.

All Over The World Lyrics

Album: The Best of the Booth Brothers

All over the world the gospel grows planted in human hearts
All over the world the Father shows the love that’s in His heart
And His voice goes out to every part ’til everyone has heard
And the wind of the Spirit brings new life in Christ all over the world

For the glory of the Father; for the honor of His name
For the fullness of His pleasure; for the radiance of His fame
So let the nations rejoice; let them lift up their voice
Everybody sing His praises; praise Him all over the world

All over the world God’s blessings flow to every humble heart
All over the world His favor shows the longing of His Heart
That His people be filled with His great delight fully satisfied
Finding their greatest joy in obedience to Christ all over the world

For the glory of the Father; for the honor of His name
For the fullness of His pleasure; for the radiance of His fame
So let the nations rejoice; let them lift up their voice
Everybody sing His praises; praise Him all over the world

He gave us sight so that we could see
He gave us light so that we could believe

For the glory of the Father; for the honor of His name
For the fullness of His pleasure; for the radiance of His fame
So let the nations rejoice; let them lift up their voice
Everybody sing His praises; praise Him all over the world

For the glory of the Father; for the honor of His name
For the fullness of His pleasure; for the radiance of His fame
So let the nations rejoice; let them lift up their voice
Everybody sing His praises; praise Him all over the world

So let the nations rejoice; let them lift up their voice
Everybody sing His praises;
Sing, sing, sing all over the world
