Only Believe
Words & Music: Paul Rader - 1921
"Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them."
Mark 11:24
Fear not, little flock, from the cross to the throne,
From death into life He went for His own;
All power in earth, all power above,
Is given to Him for the flock of His love.
Refrain :
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe,
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe.
Fear not, little flock, He goeth ahead,
Your Shepherd selecteth the path you must tread;
The waters of Marah He’ll sweeten for thee,
He drank all the bitter in Gethsemane.
Refrain:
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe,
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe.
Fear not, little flock, whatever your lot,
He enters all rooms, “the doors being shut,”
He never forsakes; He never is gone,
So count on His presence in darkness and dawn.
Refrain:
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe,
Only believe, only believe;
All things are possible, only believe.

THE RIVER OF THY GRACE
“The exceeding riches of His grace.” Ephesians 2:7
Words: Paul Rader ~ Music: Arthur W. McKee
The river of Thy grace is flowing free,
We launch upon its depths to sail to Thee;
In the ocean of Thy love we soon shall be,
We are sailing to eternity.
Refrain
Earthly joys cannot compare with all the glory,
When our longing eyes shall see Thy face;
We shall have Thy fellowship forever,
In the splendor of the throne of grace.
The breezes of Thy love are blowing free,
They tell Thy love to all humanity;
They are singing of the blood of Calvary,
Making white through all eternity.
Refrain
Earthly joys cannot compare with all the glory,
When our longing eyes shall see Thy face;
We shall have Thy fellowship forever,
In the splendor of the throne of grace.
Thy Spirit calls to all, “Come home today”;
Come back and find the Savior while you may;
Find that Jesus is the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Leading, guiding to eternity.
Refrain
Earthly joys cannot compare with all the glory,
When our longing eyes shall see Thy face;
We shall have Thy fellowship forever,
In the splendor of the throne of grace.

OLD TIME POWER
Words & Music: Paul Rader, 1917
“Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind
came from Heaven and filled the whole house.” Acts 2:2
We are gathered for Thy blessing,
We will wait upon our God;
We will trust in Him Who loved us,
And Who bought us with His blood.
Refrain
Spirit, now melt and move
All of our hearts with love,
Breathe on us from above
With old time power.
We will glory in Thy power,
We will sing of wondrous grace;
In our midst, as Thou has promised,
Come, O come, and take Thy place.
Refrain
Spirit, now melt and move
All of our hearts with love,
Breathe on us from above
With old time power.
Bring us low in prayer before Thee,
And with faith our souls inspire,
Till we claim, by faith, the promise
Of the Holy Ghost and fire.
Refrain
Spirit, now melt and move
All of our hearts with love,
Breathe on us from above
With old time power.
THE VICTORY
Words & Music: Paul Rader, 1918
“Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57
Words & Music: Paul Rader, 1918
No more need fear, and no more need doubting,
No more need pride control in my life.
I may be free from all condemnation,
I can have victory now in the strife.
Refrain
I take the life of victory,
Not I, but Christ Himself in me;
He conquers now, He sets me free;
I take, He gives—the victory.
There is a place, praise God, I have found it!
There is a place where we may be free;
Free from defeat, with power surrounded;
Yes, there is victory, Jesus, in Thee.
Refrain
I take the life of victory,
Not I, but Christ Himself in me;
He conquers now, He sets me free;
I take, He gives—the victory.
Precious provision, wonderful prospect,
Jesus will rule and Jesus will lead;
He is my Shepherd, He is my Keeper,
He is my Bread of Life, on Him I feed.
Refrain
I take the life of victory,
Not I, but Christ Himself in me;
He conquers now, He sets me free;
I take, He gives—the victory.
JESUS SATISFIES
“My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness.”
Psalm 63:5
Words & Music: Paul Rader, 1921
When Jesus no longer stands preciously nigh,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
I look to the Rock that is higher than I,
And peace, wondrous peace floods my soul.
Refrain
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
Clouds at His presence roll away;
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
His glory turns my darkness into day.
The sun may be shining on fields bright and gay,
With springtime perfumes in the breeze;
Yet, life without Jesus is winter in May,
Without Him no prospect can please.
Refrain
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
Clouds at His presence roll away;
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
His glory turns my darkness into day.
If faithful in standing for what I believe
Brings scoffing and fire, I can dare
To laugh in the furnace where I am to burn,
For Jesus will dwell with me there.
Refrain
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
Clouds at His presence roll away;
Jesus satisfies, Jesus satisfies;
His glory turns my darkness into day.
PAUL RADER
1879 ~ 1938
Paul Rader was an evangelist widely known in his day. He was for a time pastor of the Moody Memorial Church in Chicago, Illinois named for the famed evangelist Dwight L. Moody. Rader left the Moody church in 1921 and became the President of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. He soon returned to Chicago however, to work on his new ideas for evangelizing the world.
Mr. Rader had an entrepreneurial spirit and a heart for the lost and dying souls of this world. Born the son of a Methodist Bishop in Colorado in 1879, Paul Rader was a big man, standing over 6'4" and weighing 220 lbs. An impressive athlete in his youth, he was a college fullback and a talented boxer. However, while walking near Times Square in New York City, God spoke to him through an illuminated sign. It is said that he rented a room nearby and fell on his face before the Lord where his life was changed.
In June of 1922 he came back to Chicago where he had been invited to hold a series of meetings by several old supporters from Moody Church. He erected a steel-framed tabernacle at the intersection of Clark, Halsted, and Barry. Rader held meetings almost nightly. The New “Steel Tabernacle” drew large crowds and Rader became involved in a series of special programs intent on evangelizing youth, and various ethnic groups.
Early on Rader became involved in the new 1920's, radio. Invited in June of 1922 by Chicago Mayor William Hale Thompson
to give his first radio sermon on the city’s municipal station WBU. Rader was a big hit with his folksy speaking style and music programs.
Paul Rader eventually led his Tabernacle into a major broadcasting effort that reached the entire Midwest. He broadcast for several hours each Sunday and eventually, all day Sunday through a frequency-sharing agreement with WBBM, which was picked up by 26 stations of the CBS network.
Rader was continually on the lookout for new programs and venues which might strengthen his Tabernacle’s outreach. One opportunity that intrigued him was the possibility of establishing some sort of summer retreat and conference grounds along the same lines of the Moody Church’s Cedar Lake, Indiana camp.
In 1925 that possibility became very real as he became aware of the availability of a large parcel of land on the border of southern Lake and McHenry Counties. Named "Tower Lake Park" the area was ideal - it was goodly sized; had a new man-made lake, woods, and open areas; was not too far out from the city; and, it was close to a rail station in nearby Barrington.
In May of 1925 Rader purchased the plot along with several surrounding farms. Soon thereafter, Rader’s radio broadcasts made the place known and advertised a Memorial Day Picnic at the new site. On May 30th 2,000 people reportedly made their way from Chicago and other points to attend the Tabernacle’s first major event at the new campground.
It seemed destined that the new area would become a busy church camp. Some of the Youth organizations camped around a large circus type tent there for awile and plans were made for building a large tabernacle. But, by early 1926 Rader’s group had discarded the idea and he sold the property at Tower Lakes.
A better deal came his way. Across Lake Michigan, just north of Muskegon, Rader found that a campground with a 125-room lodge, a number of cottages, and a half-mile of beachfront on the big lake was available for sale at roughly half what the Tower Lakes project would cost him. The deal was cinched in May 1926 and "Camp Chi-Co-Tab" became Rader’s permanent campground.
Paul Rader was a man of many accomplishments and truly a leader in the field of broadcast evangelism. He wrote several hymns which are still sung today. The most popular of his hymns is “Only Believe”. It seems to me to be so appropriate that he should be remembered for this hymn. Paul Rader was a man who believed the Lord for mighty things and claimed the promises of God to achieve great things for God.
