favorite lines in songs

a very dear friend added this to her e-mail:

Ryan mentioned how he wished we could all stand in a circle and share our favorite lines from our favorite hymns.. I know mine!

My sin...
oh! the bliss of this glorious thought..
My sin, not in part, but the whole is nailed to the cross
and I bear it no more!
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

If you'd like to share yours.. I'd be glad to pass it along. It could be fun to do a kind of email circle and put together everyone's favorite lines.
here is what i wrote back:
this one immediately came to mind:

Love one another, for love is of God
He who loves is born of God and knows God.
He who does not love does not know God,
For God is love, God is love.

or this, greg could do it justice:

It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you,
It is no secret what God can do.

or there is this one that i have never been able to get through without my eyes leaking:

He joins us here, He breaks the bread.
The Lord who pours the cup is risen from the dead.
The One we love the most is now our gracious host.
Come take the bread, come drink the wine, come share the Lord.
greg is another dear friend, and he is related to elvis somewhere down the line, and he does a great job on some songs that elvis is known for doing.

what are some lines of songs you like?

ok... one of my favorites is
No guilt in life
no fear in death
this is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry
to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell
no scheme of man
can EVER pluck me from His hand
til He returns
or calls me home
here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

Love you, my brotha!
