How Great Thou Art

I’m so glad I belong to the family of God

I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God,
I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood,
Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod,
For I’m part of the family, the family of God.

Jesus loves me
Blessed assurance
Amazing Grace
Morning has broken
Just a close walk with thee
Be thou my vision
Fairest Lord Jesus
