Our Great God

Eternal God, unchanging, mysterious and unknown

Your boundless love unfailing in grace and mercy shown

Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight around Your glorious throne

They raise their voices day and night in praise to You alone

Hallelujah!  Glory be to our great God!  Hallelujah!  Glory be to our great God!

Lord, we are weak and frail, helpless in the storm

Surround us with Your angels. Hold us in Your arms

Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm

Rise up, O Lord and He will flee before our Sovereign God

For this the Father sent His Son. For this our Savior came

To put an end to Satan’s works, God’s Kingdom here to bring

He bore our sins upon the cross.  He died, and rose to save

We have no fear of death or hell, Christ triumphed o’er the grave!

Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird

Let every mountain, every field and valley of the earth

Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe

Sing praises to the living God Who rules them by His Word

More Love, More Power

More love, more power; More of You in my life (2X)
And I will worship You, with all of my heart; I will worship You, with all of my mind
I will worship You, with all of my strength; For You are my Lord (2X)

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

Men Of Faith Rise Up And Sing

Men of faith rise up and sing; Of the great and glorious King

You are strong when you feel weak; In your brokenness complete

Shout to the North and the South; Sing to the East and the West;

Jesus is Savior to all; Lord of heaven and earth

Rise up women of the truth; Stand and sing to broken hearts
Who can know the healing power; Of our awesome King of love

We will shout to the North and the South; Sing to the East and the West
Jesus is Savior to all; Lord of heaven and earth

We’ve been through fire, we’ve been through rain; We’ve been refined by the power of His name
We’ve fallen deeper in love with You; You’ve burned the truth on our lips

Rise up church with broken wings; Fill this place with songs again
Of our God who reigns on high; By His grace again we’ll fly

His Mercy is More

What love could remember no wrongs we have done

Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more; Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What patience would wait as we constantly roam; What Father, so tender, is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What riches of kindness He lavished on us; His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford; Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

How Great Thou Art

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art

And when I think of God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing; He bled and died to take away my sin

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation; And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow with humble adoration; And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

One Thing

One thing, one thing I desire; To dwell and to inquire; In Your holy place

One thing, this one thing I seek; A time and place to meet; And see you face to face

One__ thing__ I desire; To dwell in the house of the Lord; All the days of my life

To behold Your beauty, Lord; To know and love You more and more

It’s what I’ve been created for; This one thing

To lean upon the One I love; Safely resting in Your arms; Set Your seal upon my heart

I desire; this one thing

Better Is One Day

How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord Almighty

My soul longs and even faints for you

For here my heart is satisfied; Within Your presence

I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts; Better is one day in Your house

Better is one day in Your courts; Than thousands elsewhere (2X)

One thing I ask and I would seek; To see Your beauty

To find You in the place Your glory dwells

My heart and flesh cry out; For You, the living God; Your Spirit’s water for my soul

I’ve tasted and I’ve seen; Come once again to me; I will draw near to you, To you…

O Come to the Altar

Are you hurting and broken within; Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin,

Jesus is calling

Have you come to the end of yourself; Do you thirst for a drink from the well,

Jesus is calling

O come to the altar; The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with; The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes; Come today, there’s no reason to wait,

Jesus is calling

Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy; From the ashes a new life is born,

Jesus is calling

Oh what a Savior!  Isn’t He wonderful!     Sing alleluia, Christ is risen.

Bow down before Him, For He is Lord of all; Sing alleluia, Christ is risen

Kadosh

Kadosh kadosh kadosh;Kadosh kadosh kadosh
Adonai Elohim tz’va’ot; Adonai Elohim tz’va’ot

Holy holy holy;Holy holy holy
O Lord our God Lord of hosts; O Lord our God Lord of hosts

Who was and Who is; And Who is to come
Who was and Who is; And Who is to come

Asher hayah; V’hoveh v’yavo; Asher hayah; V’hoveh v’yavo

Who was and Who is; And Who is to come
Who was and Who is; And Who is to come

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

Grace Like Rain

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound; That saved a wretch like me
And I once was lost but now I’m found; Was blind but now I see so clearly

And Hallelujah, grace like rain falls down on me
And Hallelujah, and all my stains are washed away; They’re washed away

‘Twas grace that taught; My heart to fear; And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear; The hour I first believed

When we’ve been there ten thousand years; Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing Your praise; Than when we first begun

King of Kings

In the darkness, we were waiting; Without hope, without light
‘Til from Heaven You came running; There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets; To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory; To a cradle in the dirt

Praise the Father, praise the Son; Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty; Praise forever to the King of Kings

To reveal the kingdom coming; And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation; You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering; You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation; Jesus for our sake You died

And the morning that You rose; All of Heaven held its breath
‘Til that stone was moved for good; For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs; And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come; To the Father are restored

And the church of Christ was born; Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old; Shall not kneel, shall not faint
By His blood and in His name; In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ; Who has resurrected me, ohh

Christ Is Risen

Let no one caught in sin remain; Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross; And run to Him who showed great love

And bled for us; Freely You have bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead; Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake; Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead; We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake; Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin; You bowed to none but Heaven’s will
No scheme of Hell, no scoffer’s crown; No burden great can hold You down

In strength You reign; Forever let Your church proclaim

O death, where is your sting?; O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light; The glory of God has defeated the night

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

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; Jesus, Lamb of God; Worthy is Your name

The Stand

You stood before creation; Eternity within Your hands

And you spoke all life into motion; My soul now to stand

You stood before my failure; And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders; My soul now to stand

So what can I say; And what could I do; But offer this heart O God; Completely to You

So I’ll walk upon salvation; Your Spirit alive in me

This life to declare Your promise; My soul now to stand

So what can I say; What could I do; But offer this heart O God; Completely to You

So I’ll stand; With arms high and heart abandoned; In awe of the One who gave it all
So I’ll stand; My soul Lord to You surrendered; All I am is Yours
