Friends All Around Us Are Trying to Find
Author: Harry D. Loes Meter: 10.10.10.10 with refrain Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:12 Refrain First Line: All that I want is in Jesus Lyrics: 1 Friends all around us are trying to find
What the heart yearns for, by sin undermined;
I have the secret, I know where 'tis found:
Only in Jesus true pleasures abound.
Refrain:
All that I want is in Jesus;
He satisfies joy He supplies;
Life would be worthless without Him,
All things in Jesus I find.
2 Some carry burdens whose weight has for years
Crushed them with sorrow and blinded with tears;
Yet One stands ready to help them just now,
If they with faith and in penitence bow. (Refrain)
3 No other name thrills the joy chords within,
And thro' none else is remission of sin;
He knows the pain of the heart sorely tried,
All of its needs will in Him be supplied. (Refrain)
4 Jesus is all this poor world needs today;
Blindly men strive, for sin darkens the way.
O to draw back the grim curtains of night--
One glimpse of Jesus, and all will be bright. (Refrain) Topics: Praise of Christ; Testimony, Hymns of Used With Tune: OKMULGEE

Forgive Us, Lord, for Shallow Thankfulness
Author: William W. Reid, Sr., 1890-1983, alt. Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Acts 4:32-37 Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord, for shallow thankfulness,
for dull content with warmth and sheltered care,
for songs of praise for worldly wealthiness,
while of your richer gifts we're unaware:
2 Teach us to thank you, Lord, for love and grace,
for life and vision, for a purpose clear,
for Christ, your Son, and for each human face
that shows your message ever new and near.
3 Forgive us, Lord, for selfish thanks and praise,
for words that speak at variance with deeds;
forgive our thanks for walking pleasant ways,
unmindful of a broken brother's needs:
4 Teach us, O Lord, true thankfulness divine,
that gives as Christ gave, never counting cost,
that knows no barrier of "yours" and "mine,"
assured that only what's withheld is lost.
5 Forgive us, Lord, for feast that knows not fast,
for joy in things that meanwhile starve the soul,
for walls and wars that hide Your mercies vast
and blur our vision of the Kingdom goal:
6 Open our eyes to see your love's intent,
to know with minds and hearts its depth and height;
let thankful days in loving labor spent
reflect the truly Christlike life and light.
