Christ Is All is track nine on Matt Papa and Matt Boswell’s album His Mercy Is More.
The lyrics:
Verse 1
I’ve found a treasure that can’t be taken
Found a well that won’t run dry
O worldly pleasure be now forsaken
Behold what love what life is mine
Verse 2
Could endless striving now make me righteous
Could all my works now grant me hope
Oh hallelujah the blood of Jesus
My only plea my only boast
Chorus
Christ is all Christ is all
And my song will ever be
Christ is all,
All in all
And my song will ever be
Christ is all
Verse 3
And in the trial when storms are raging
Though tears may fall my soul will rise
For there’s a peace that is mine unchanging
There is a joy that never dies
Chorus
Verse 4
When life is passing and strength is fading
I’ll see the One that I adore
Let this world vanish oh give me Jesus
My great desire my true reward
Chorus
Repeat chorus

Question 38
What is prayer?
Answer
Prayer is pouring out our hearts to God in praise, petition, confession of sin, and thanksgiving.
We clean out our church store-room constantly.
The main reason is so that folk can’t give in to the temptation to put materials that have passed their use-by date back into service.
In Accidental Preacher Will Willimon writes of an early pastoral appointment in a church that had a Congregation of four hundred accommodated in a building that could have held two thousand.
Most disheartening were the seven – count ’em, seven – empty Sunday school rooms, three of which were now used for storage, as if upon Jesus’s return his first command would be “Quick. Bring me downs of worn-out hymnals and all the rusting, folding metal chairs you can carry. Come on, people, let’s inaugurate the Reign Of God.
Will Willimon, Accidental Preacher, Eerdmans, 2019, pg 177.
Encourage your pastor to be a preacher, not a curator.
