I Love That Old Old Story

I love that old old story that tells about Christ's Birth
That time of year when peace on earth came on a midnight clear
I love that old old story How Jesus came to earth
That old old story about the Christ Childs birth
I love to hear that story it does my heart so well
The story of the birth of Christ that I still love to tell

In My Hope Is My Portion

In my troubles I'll call for deliverance of me
I glorify God for He set me free
There's nothing too hard for His outstretched arm
For He made my armor that keeps me from harm
In my hope is my portion I'll wait for Him
Staying from trouble running from sin
Dominion He has over me with His word
I shalt not tempt my God or my Lord
I'll sing to my Lord of His excellence things
Like the comforter He sends and the love that it brings
How great is my Lord His glories about
He has all power to call us all out
I'll sing to my Lord and call on His name
He lets the blind see and He heals the lame
I'll make known His deeds the wonders He's done
He came the most highest from heaven Gods Son.

One By One

One by one we'll all meet our redeemer
We'll stand alone when our judgement is passed on
We will hold a banner those that fear Him
Will be displayed as truth in Gods Son
One by one we'll be called to our maker
One by one we'll stand alone with Him
You'll be you, we can't be a faker
For God will know our each and every sin
Repent to Him our sins can be forgiven
Be right for Him for our judgement day
One by one we'll be called among His living
Eternal life with our Savior is the way
One by one in His book of life we're writen
Our names are there if we stand true to Him
One by one we'll be called up to heaven
What a joyous day when we're called home with Him
