Hymns On the Hooch
“Be Thou My Vision”
Be Thou my Vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light
Be Thou my Wisdom and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling and I with Thee one
High King of heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys bright heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my Vision O Ruler of all
“Drenched In Love”
Oh precious is the flow that makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
I am washed I am washed I am drenched in love
All souls atoned by the blood of the Lamb
I’m not a slave to what once held me damned
How beautiful that cleansing flood
I am washed I am washed I am drenched in love
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
All filth made clean in that crimson sea
I’m not ashamed of what once shackled me
How infinite that grace divine
I am free I am free I am a child of God
How priceless how precious
There is power in the blood of Jesus
There’s power power wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb
I was buried deep with Christ my Lord
Now I’m raised to life forevermore
My name’s been carved upon Your heart
No not death no not hell could ever rip us apart
“Blessed Assurance”
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
Oh what foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation purchase of God
Born of His Spirit washed in His blood
Perfect submission all is at rest
I in the Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting looking above
Filled with His goodness lost in His love
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
Oh what a Savior
Wonderful Jesus
Oh what a Savior
Wonderful Jesus
(REPEAT)
Death could not hold You
You are victorious
Praise to the risen King
(REPEAT)
Oh what a Savior
Wonderful Jesus
Oh what a Savior
Wonderful Jesus
Oh what a Savior
Wonderful Jesus
Oh what a Savior oh
