Simple Songs

Posted on by

Granny is not young. I am on oxygen temporarily, so that these songs are not up to my par! I take a lot of breaths! However, these songs have been beneficial to me in my faith so I wanted to share them with you. They keep in mind Scripture! (My songs when I was younger can be heard on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, and other music apps under Carolyn Anne Venable.)

These songs are taken from the book of First John. John was a beloved apostle of Jesus Christ.

1.

This is My commandment that you love one another that your joy may be full.  (2x)

That your joy may be full. That your joy may be full. 

This is My commandment that you love one another that your joy may be full. 

Reference:

1John 1:4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.

1John 3:23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

2.

Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us,

Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us,

That we should be called the sons of God!

That we should be called the sons of God!

Reference:

1John 3:1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

3. This is one of my first songs written in 1987. Chorus and third verse.  See here for all verses.

O Holy King of Israel
Who reigns upon the throne
You’re coming for those who’d believe
You’re coming for Your own.
O Holy King of Israel
O Holy King, Immanuel!

When He appears, we shall be like Him
For we shall see Him as He is!

4.

Greater is He who is in me, Greater is He who is in me, Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world.

Reference:

1John 4:4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
