    How Great Is Our God

    The splendor of the King, Clothed in majesty, Let all the earth rejoice (2X)

    He wraps Himself in light, And darkness tries to hide, And trembles at His voice (2X)

     

    How great is our God, Sing with me, How great is our God

    And all will see how great, How great is our God

     

    And age to age He stands, And time is in His hands, Beginning and the End (2X)

    The Godhead three in one, Father Spirit Son, The Lion and the Lamb (2X)

    Name above all names, Worthy of all praise, My heart will sing, How great is our God

     

    I Will Serve You

    I will serve You, Because i love you, You have given life to me
    I was nothing until you found me, You have given life to me

    Heartaches, broken people, Ruined lives are why you died
    Your touch is what I long for, You have given life to me

    I will serve You, Because i love you, You have given life to me
    I was nothing until you found me, You have given life to me

     

    You’re Beautiful

    I see your face, In every sunrise, The colors of the morning Are inside your eyes

    The world awakens, In the light of the day, I look up to the sky and say, You’re beautiful

    I see your power, In the moonlit night, Where planets are in motion, And galaxies are bright

    We are amazed In the light of the stars, It’s all proclaiming who you are, You’re beautiful (2X)

    I see you there, Hanging on a tree, You bled and then you died, And then you rose again for me

    Now you are sitting on your heavenly throne, Soon we will be coming home You’re beautiful

    When we arrive at eternity’s shore, Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
    We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring, Your bride will come together and we’ll sing

    You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, I see your face, You’re beautiful (3X)

    Had It Not Been The Lord

    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side, Had it not been the Lord who is on our side
    The anger of the enemy would have swallowed us alive,

    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side

    Blessed be The lord who would not give us up, Blessed be The Lord for His unfailing Love
    The snare is broken and we have escaped,

    Our help is in The name of The Lord, Blessed be The Lord

    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side, Had it not been the Lord who is on our side
    The water would have engulfed us, We would have surely died

    Had it not been the Lord who is on our side

    Blessed be The lord who would not give us up, Blessed be The Lord for His unfailing Love
    The snare is broken and we have escaped
    Our help is in The name of The Lord, Blessed be The Lord…

     

    Lord, I Lift Your Name On High

    Lord, I lift Your name on high, Lord, I love to sing Your praises,

    I’m so glad You’re in my life, I’m so glad You came to save us

    You came from heaven to earth, To show the way From the earth to the cross My debt to pay
    From the cross to the grave, From the grave to the sky, Lord, I lift Your name on high (2X)

     

    How Deep The Father’s Love For Us

    How deep the Father’s love for us, How vast beyond all measure
    That He should give His only Son, To make a wretch His treasure

    How great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away
    As wounds which mar the Chosen One, Bring many sons to glory

    Behold the man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders
    Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice, Call out among the scoffers

    It was my sin that held Him there, Until it was accomplished
    His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished

    I will not boast in anything, No gifts, no power, no wisdom
    But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection

    Why should I gain from His reward?, I cannot give an answer
    But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom

    Why should I gain from His reward?, I cannot give an answer
    But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom

    Revelation 5

    Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

    Up Above My Head

    Up above my head, I hear music in the air (3X)

    And I really do believe.  I really do believe Heaven’s coming right here

    Up above my head there’s singing in the air…All over this place there’s angels everywhere

     

    Heaven come right here. (echo)  Heaven come right here                                                               

    Let your kingdom come.   Let your will be done, Right here on Earth as it is up there.

    Heaven come right here. Heaven come right here.  Heaven come right here 

    All over the world, there’s trouble everywhere… (3x)

     

    But I really do believe Heaven’s coming right here 

    Music makes the world go ‘round.  It makes people happy that’s what I’ve found.

    Sing a song you’ll be happy and free, so gather round children and follow me.

     

    Well, I’ve got a soul that’s weary and worn, but I’ve heard the music since the day I was born.

    I’m not afraid of what the good Lord said, cause I’ve heard the music and it’s..

     

    Lord, You Sure Been Good To Me

     (call) Lord, Lord, Lord,  (response) you’ve sure been good to me (3X)

    You have done what this world cannot do

     

    (call) Woke me up this morning.  (response) You’ve sure been good to me (3x)

    You have done what this world cannot do.

     

    (call) When I’m sick (response) You heal my body and soul (3x)

    You have done what this world cannot do

     

    (call) You’ve healed my broken heart,  (response) You sure been good to me (3x)

    You have done what this world cannot do

    Well, you’ve done what this world cannot do,

    From fire and flood you’ve brought me through

    You’ve crowned me with lovingkindness too, You’ve done what this world can never do

     

    Lord, Lord, Lord (echo)       You’ve been good to me  (echo) (3x)

    You’ve rescued my soul from sin and shame

     

    King of My Heart

    Let the King of my heart be the mountain when I run, the fountain I drink from;

    Oh He is my song

    Let the King of my heart be, the shadow where I hide, the ransom for my life;

    Oh He is my song

    You are good good, Oh  You are good, good Oh

    Let the King of my heart be, the wind inside my sails, the anchor in the waves;

    Oh He is my song

    Let the King of my heart be, the fire inside my veins, and the echo of my days;

    Oh He is my song

    You’re never gonna let, Never gonna let me down (5X)

    When the night is holding onto me, God is holding on

     

    No Longer Slaves

    You unravel me, with a melody, You surround me with a song, Of deliverance, from my enemies Till all my fears are gone;  I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God

    From my Mother’s womb, You have chosen me, Love has called my name
    I’ve been born again, into your family, Your blood flows through my veins

    You split the sea, so I could walk right through it,                                                                                                All my fears were drowned in perfect love
    You rescued me, so I could stand and sing, I am a child of God

     

    Our Father

    Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name
    Your Kingdom come quickly, Your will be done the same

    On Earth as it is in Heaven, Let Heaven come to
    Earth as it is in Heaven, Let Heaven come

    Let Heaven come, let Heaven come

    Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power, Yours is the glory forever, amen
    Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power, Yours is the glory forever amen

    Worship on the Lawn – June 7, 2020

    Lord Most High

    From the ends of the earth (repeat); From the depth of the sea (repeat)
    From the height of the heaven (repeat); Your name we praise

    From the hearts of the weak (repeat); From the shouts of the strong (repeat)
    From the lips of all people (repeat); Your song we raise Lord…

    Throughout the endless ages, You will be crowned with praises, Lord most high
    Exalted in every nation, Sovereign of all creation, Lord most high, Be magnified (3X)

    Surely Goodness And Mercy

    Surely goodness and mercy, Will follow me, All the days of my life, All the days of my life
    And I will dwell, In the house of the Lord — Forever, forever, forever, Amen.  (2X)

    You prepare a table before me, In the presence of my enemies
    You anoint my head with oil, And my cup it overflows
    With love peace and joy, With love peace and joy

     

    You Are My All in All

    You are my strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek, You are my all in all

    Seeking You as a precious jewel, Lord to give up I’d be a fool, You are my all in all

    Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name, Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name

    Taking my sin my cross my shame, Rising again I bless your name, You are my all in all
    When I fall down you pick me up, When I am dry You fill my cup, You are my all in all

    Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name (6X)
    Worthy is Your name, Worthy is Your name

     

    Before the Throne of God Above

    Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea
    A great High Priest whose name is love, Who ever lives and pleads for me
    My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart
    I know that while in heav’n He stands; No tongue can bid me thence depart (2X)

    When Satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within
    Upward I look and see Him there, Who made an end of all my sin
    Because the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free
    For God the Just is satisfied, To look on Him and pardon me, To look on Him and pardon me

    Behold Him there, the risen Lamb, My perfect, spotless Righteousness
    The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace
    One with Himself, I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood
    My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ my Savior and my God (2X)

    One with Himself, I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood
    My life is hid with Christ on high; With Christ my Savior and my God (3X)

     

    Come as You Are

    Come out of sadness, From wherever you’ve been; Come broken hearted, Let rescue begin
    Come find your mercy, Oh sinner come kneel, Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal

    Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal

    So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame, All who are broken, Lift up your face
    Oh wanderer come home, You’re not too far, So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

    Come as you are, There’s hope for the hopeless, And all those who’ve strayed

    Come sit at the table, Come taste the grace,

    There’s rest for the weary, Rest that endures, Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t cure

    So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame, All who are broken, Lift up your face
    Oh wanderer come home, You’re not too far, Lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

    Come as you are, Come as you are, Fall in his arms, Come as you are

    There’s joy for the morning, Oh sinner be still, Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal
    Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal

    So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame, All who are broken, Lift up your face
    Oh wanderer come home, You’re not too far, So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart
    Come as you are (4X)
