    Let the Name of the Lord Be Praised

    Let the name of the Lord be praised, Let the name of the Lord be praised
    Let the name of the Lord be praised, Right now

    Let the name of the Lord be praised, Let the name of the Lord be praised
    Right now and forevermore, Right now and forevermore

    From the rising of the sun
    To the place where it goes down
    The name of the Lord is to be praised 4X

     

    Cornerstone

    My hope is built on nothing less, Than Jesus blood and righteousness
    I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus name

    Christ alone, Cornerstone
    Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
    Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all

    When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace
    In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil 2X

    He is Lord, Lord of all

    When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found
    Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless stand before the throne

     

    All Glory

    Holy, Holy, You are God Almighty
    And You reign victorious over all the earth
    Holy, Holy, You are God Almighty
    Yes, You reign victorious over all the earth

    Let Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done
    Here on earth as it is in heaven
    And to Your renown hear our hearts cry out
    Singing “Holy is the Lord”

    God of Glory see Your victory story
    In the lives of those who gather at the cross
    Rock of ages be adorned with praises
    As Your people raise their voice in thanks and love

    Let Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done
    Here on earth as it is in heaven
    And to Your renown hear our hearts cry out
    Singing “Holy is the Lord” 4X

    All Glory, all honor, all wisdom strength and power
    All Glory, all honor, are Yours alone forever

     

    Gracious Lord

    Your Grace has been my strength when I am weakest
    And when I’m wounded, Lord, Your grace heals all my brokenness
    When I’ve fallen down, I feel Your gentle, loving hand
    And I know it’s Your grace by which I stand

    Gracious Lord, God of all compassion
    You have poured Your kindness over me
    O my Lord, Jesus by Your mercy
    I bow down and worship at Your feet, gracious Lord

    The Beauty of Your presence overwhelms me
    You are clothed in power and reign in perfect purity
    All that I possess as an offering I raise
    To the Lamb and the praise of His glorious grace

     

    Good, Good Father

    I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think You’re like
    But I’ve heard the tender whispers of love in the dead of night
    And you tell me that You’re pleased
    And that I’m never alone

    You’re a good good Father
    It’s who You are, it’s who You are, it’s who You are
    And I’m loved by You
    It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I am

    I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide
    But I know we’re all searching
    For answers only You provide
    ‘Cause You know just what we need
    Before we say a word

    Because You are perfect in all of Your ways
    You are perfect in all of Your ways
    You are perfect in all of Your ways to us

    Love so undeniable
    I, I can hardly speak
    Peace so unexplainable
    I, I can hardly think
    As You call me deeper still
    As You call me deeper still
    As You call me deeper still
    Into love, love, love

    God Is The Same Yesterday Today and Tomorrow: Three Case Studies

    God uniquely qualified to be the Judge of All.  There is no one more qualified.  Trust in God.

    God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

    James 2:12,13. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

    God desires mercy for us.  This does not mean there is no judgement.

    For God So Loved the World

    16 “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

    Who You Say I Am

    Who am I that the highest King
    Would welcome me?
    I was lost but He brought me in
    Oh His love for me; Oh His love for me

    Who the Son sets free, Oh – is free indeed
    I’m a child of God; Yes I am

    Free at last
    He has ransomed me
    His grace runs deep
    While I was a slave to sin
    Jesus died for me; Yes He died for me

    Who the Son sets free, Oh – is free indeed
    I’m a child of God; Yes I am
    In my Father’s house
    There’s a place for me
    I’m a child of God; Yes I am

    I am chosen, Not forsaken
    I am who You say I am
    You are for me, Not against me
    I am who You say I am

     

    Sing Hallelujah to the Lord

    Sing hallelujah to the Lord (echo) x2
    Sing hallelujah x2
    Sing hallelujah to the Lord

    Jesus is Lord and King of all (echo) x2
    Jesus is Lord x2
    Jesus is Lord and King of all

    Jesus is coming back again (echo) x2
    Jesus is coming x2
    Jesus is coming back again

     

    Lord, Take Our Children

    Lord, take our children; Lord, give them freedom; Lord, send Your Spirit upon them (2X)
    Like arrows from a mighty warrior; like arrows flaming in the darkness
    Send Your Light into the night; may Jesus Christ be glorified,
    In our children, through our children

     

    The Heart of Worship

    When the music fades, All is stripped away
    And I simply come
    Longing just to bring, Something that’s of worth
    That will bless Your heart

    I’ll bring You more than a song
    For a song in itself, Is not what You have required
    You search much deeper within
    Through the way things appear, You’re looking into my heart

    I’m coming back to the heart of worship
    And it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus
    I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
    When it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus

    King of endless worth, No one could express
    How much you deserve
    Though I’m weak and poor, All I have is Yours
    Every single breath!

     

    Overcome

    Seated above, enthroned in the Father’s love
    Destined to die, poured out for all mankind
    God’s only Son perfect and spotless One
    He never sinned, but suffered as if He did

    All authority, every victory is Yours x2

    Savior, worthy of honor and glory, worthy of all our praise, You overcame
    Jesus, awesome in power forever, awesome and great is Your Name, You overcame

    Power in hand, speaking the Father’s plan
    You’re sending us out, light in this broken land

    We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb
    and the word of our testimony, everyone overcome

     

    Nothing But the Blood

    Your blood speaks a better word
    Than all the empty claims I’ve heard upon this earth
    Speaks righteousness for me, And stands in my defense
    Jesus, it’s Your blood

    What can wash away our sins? What can make us whole again?
    Nothing but the blood, Nothing but the blood of Jesus
    What can wash us pure as snow, Welcomed as the friends of God?
    Nothing but Your blood; Nothing but Your blood, King Jesus

    Your Cross testifies in grace
    Tells of the Father’s heart to make a way for us
    Now boldly we approach, Not by earthly confidence
    It’s only Your blood
