When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, I know a man, a cool one to know,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. He built his house out of ice and of snow
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, In chill isolation his night work was done
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" But it melted away with the warm morning sun.

/Chorus /Chorus

SONG #3: BLESSED ASSURANCE I know a man who built out of straw,
The flimsiest fellow that I ever saw,
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! One day a spark set it to flame
O what a foretaste of glory divine! And nothing was left to remember his name
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. /Chorus

/Chorus VOTE OF THANKS
This is my story, this is my song, DR. CHUKWUKA ANAZIAH
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight,
Angels descending bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

/Chorus

Perfect submission, all is at rest!
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

/Chorus

SONG #4: CHRIST IS MY ROCK

/Chorus
Christ is my rock my refuge my strong hold,
firm as the tree’s root that clutches the land,
he who has faith, builds without worry,
Not like the man wo builds upon sand,
I set my house on a solid foundation, Christ is my
rock, the root of my soul’s recreation.

I know a man who loved to live “free”
He pitched his tent by the side of the sea
It stood near the surf and was washed by the spray
Till one day a wave came and washed it away

/Chorus

I know a man who loved to live high
He built his castle near up to the sky
Through summer and spring, it stood pretty well
When winter winds whistled, it toppled and fell

/Chorus
