    Up Above My Head (traditional spiritual)

    Up above my head, (echo)                   I hear music in the air (echo)
    Up above my head, (echo)                   I hear music in the air (echo)
    Up above my head, (echo)                   I hear music in the air (echo)
    And I really do believe. (echo)             Heaven’s coming right here (echo)

    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 (echo)
    Let your kingdom come. (echo)           Let your will be done (echo)
    Right here on Earth (echo)                   as it is up there. (echo)
    Heaven come right here. (echo)          Heaven come right here (echo)
    All over the world, there’s trouble everywhere… (3x)
    But I really do believe Heaven’s coming right here

    Up above my head…

     

    I Came to Praise the Lord

    I don’t know what you came to do, but I came to praise the Lord (4X)
    Hallelu Hallelu Hallellujah

    Hallellujah Hallelujah (4x)

     

    Praise the Name of Jesus

    Praise the name of Jesus, Praise the name of Jesus
    He’s my rock. He’s my fortress. He’s my deliverer. In Him will I trust
    Praise the Name of Jesus

     

    Raise a Hallelujah

    I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies
    I raise a hallelujah louder than the unbelief
    I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody
    I raise a hallelujah, heaven comes to fight for me

    Chorus 1:  I’m gonna sing in the middle of the storm
    Louder and louder, you’re gonna hear my praises roar
    Up from the ashes hope will arise
    Death is defeated, the King is alive!

    I raise a hallelujah with everything inside of me
    I raise a hallelujah, I will watch the darkness flee
    I raise a hallelujah in the middle of the mystery
    I raise a hallelujah, Fear, you lost your hold on me

    Bridge:  Lift Him up higher, In the presence of my enemies
    Lift Him up higher, Louder than the unbelief
    Lift Him up higher, My weapon is a melody
    Lift Him up higher, Heaven comes to fight for me

    Tag:  I raise a hallelujah

    Tremble

    Peace, bring it all to peace, The storms surrounding me, Let it break at Your name
    Still, call the sea to still, The rage in me to still, Every wave at Your name

    Chorus: Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble
    Jesus, Jesus, You silence fear
    Jesus, Jesus, You make the darkness tremble, Jesus, Jesus

    Breathe, call these bones to live, Call these lungs to sing, Once again I will praise

    Bridge:  Your name is a light that the shadows can’t deny, Your name cannot be overcome
    Your name is alive, forever lifted high, Your name cannot be overcome

    Stand By Me

    When the storms of life are ragin’         Stand by me
    When the storms of life are ragin’         Stand by me
    When the world is tossin’ me                Like a ship upon the sea
    Thou who rulest winds and water         Stand by me

    In the midst of tribulation                   Stand by me
    In the midst of tribulation                    Stand by me
    When the hosts of hell assail               And my strength begins to fail
    Thou who never lost a battle               Stand by me

    Stand by me, Stand by me, Great Jehovah, stand by me. (2X)

    In the midst of persecution                  Stand by me
    In the midst of persecution                  Stand by me
    When my foes in battle array               Undertake to stop my way,
    Thou who saved Paul and Silas            Stand by me.

    When I’m growing old and feeble        Stand by me
    When I’m growing old and feeble        Stand by me
    When my life becomes a burden        And I’m nearing to the Jordan,
    Oh, the Lily of the Valley                     Stand by me

    Oh no matter what I’ve done                You’ve stood by me
    And now matter where I’ve gone          You’ve stood by me.
    And when we’re there on that last day,   When the mists have blown away
    You’ll say, “Son, welcome home. Come stand by me.”

    Tis so Sweet to Trust in Jesus

    Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,    just to take Him at His word.
    Just to rest upon His promise,   just to know “Thus saith the Lord”

    Chorus:  Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!  How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
    Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!  O for grace to trust Him more!

    O how sweet to trust in Jesus,   just to trust His cleansing blood.
    Just in simple faith to plunge me ‘neath the healing, cleansing flood!

    Yes, ‘tis sweet to trust in Jesus, just from sin and self to cease,
    Just from Jesus simply taking life and rest and joy and peace.

    I’m so glad I learned to trust Him, precious Jesus, Savior, Friend.
    And I know that He is with me, will be with me to the end

    Ten Days of Praise

    "/

    In conjunction with several other initiatives of prayer and worship from Passover to Pentecost, 2021, WayMakers has published a praise guide named Ten Days of Praise.

    Ten Days of Praise

    Ascension to Pentecost
    May 13-22, 2021

    For many, these ten days of worship and praise lead the way to March for Jesus celebrations on May 22, with the theme, “Worthy is the Lamb.” The prayers and praise expressions are embedded in a rich, but simple description of the ascension of Christ as King to fulfill all that God has purposed for all nations.

    Written by Steve Hawthorne, this praise guide is included in Seek God for the City 2021. But this praise guide is also being made available, at no cost, in a pdf format, making it easy to use on any device. Download the document, and let the praise begin!

    10,000 Reasons

    Chorus: Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
    Worship His holy name
    Sing like never before, O my soul
    I’ll worship Your holy name

    The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning, It’s time to sing Your song again
    Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, Let me be singing when the evening comes

    You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger, Your name is great and Your heart is kind
    For all Your goodness I will keep on singing, Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

    And on that day when my strength is failing, The end draws near and my time has come
    Still my soul will sing Your praise unending, Ten thousand years and then forevermore

     

    King of my Heart

    Let the King of my heart be the mountain where 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

    Chorus:            You are good, good, oh__ (4X)

    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,
    The echo of my days, Oh, He is my song

    Bridge: You’re never gonna let, never gonna let me down (4X)

    End: O Jesus, You’re the same, yesterday, today, forever

    Your faithfulness remains, and Your love endures forever

     

    You Are My King

    I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
    I’m accepted, You were condemned
    I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
    Because You died and rose again

    Chorus: Amazing love
    How can it be?
    That You my King would die for me
    Amazing love
    I know it’s true
    It’s my joy to honor You
    In all I do I honor You

    Ending: You are my King (4X)

     

    In Christ Alone

    In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song
    This Cornerstone, this solid Ground, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
    What heights of love, what depths of peace, When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
    My Comforter, my All in All, Here in the love of Christ I stand

    In Christ alone who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless babe
    This gift of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save
    Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied
    For every sin on Him was laid, Here in the death of Christ I live

    There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain
    Then bursting forth in glorious Day, Up from the grave He rose again
    And as He stands in victory, Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
    For I am His and He is mine, Bought with the precious blood of Christ

    No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me
    From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny
    No power of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand
    Till He returns or calls me home, Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

     

    What a Beautiful Name

    You were the Word at the beginning
    One with God, the Lord Most High
    Your hidden glory in creation
    Now revealed in You our Christ

    Chorus 1: What a beautiful Name it is, What a beautiful Name it is
    The Name of Jesus Christ my King
    What a beautiful Name it is, Nothing compares to this
    What a beautiful Name it is, The Name of Jesus 

    You didn’t want heaven without us
    So Jesus, You brought heaven down
    My sin was great, Your love was greater
    What could separate us now?

    Chorus 2: What a wonderful Name it is, What a wonderful Name it is
    The Name of Jesus Christ my King
    What a wonderful Name it is, Nothing compares to this
    What a wonderful Name it is, The Name of Jesus

    Bridge: Death could not hold You, The veil tore before You
    You silence the boast of sin and grave
    The heavens are roaring, The praise of Your glory
    For You are raised to life again

    You have no rival, You have no equal
    Now and forever, God, You reign
    Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory
    Yours is the Name above all names!

    Chorus 3: What a powerful Name it is, What a powerful Name it is
    The Name of Jesus Christ my King
    What a powerful Name it is, Nothing can stand against
    What a powerful Name it is, The Name of Jesus

    Better is One Day

    How lovely is Your dwelling place. O Lord almighty
    For 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

    Chorus:  Better is one day in Your courts
    Better is one day in Your house
    Better is one day in Your courts
    Than thousands elsewhere
    (Than thousands elsewhere)

    One thing I ask and I would seek: To see Your beauty
    To find You in the place Your glory dwells

    Bridge: My heart and flesh cry out
    For You the living God
    Your Spirit’s water to my soul
    I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
    Come once again to me
    I will draw near to You
    I will draw near to You to You

     

    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 on Calvary
    Your touch is what I long for, You have given life to me

    You’re Beautiful

    I see Your face in ev’ry 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 (Oh__) 

    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 (Oh__)

    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 (Oh__)

    Bridge:             I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, 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 (Oh__)

     

    Lord, I Lift Your Name

    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

     

    In the Secret

    In the secret, in the quiet place
    In the stillness You are there
    In the secret, in the quiet hour
    I wait only for You
    ‘Cause I want to know You more

    Chorus: I want to know You
    I want to hear Your voice
    I want to know You more
    I want to touch You
    I want to see Your face
    I want to know You more

    I am reaching for the highest goal
    That I might receive the prize
    Pressing onward
    Pushing every hindrance aside
    Out of my way
    ‘Cause I want to know You more

    Grace Like Rain

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

    Chorus: Hallelujah grace like rain falls down on me,
    Hallelujah 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’d first begun

     

    Great Are You, Lord

    You give life, You are love
    You bring light to the darkness
    You give hope, You restore every heart that is broken
    And great are You, Lord

    Chorus:  It’s Your breath in our lungs
    So we pour out our praise
    We pour out our praise
    It’s Your breath in our lungs
    So we pour out our praise to You only

    Bridge: And all the earth will shout Your praise
    Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
    Great are You, Lord

      

    Christ Is Mine Forevermore

    Mine are days that God has numbered, I was made to walk with Him
    Yet I look for worldly treasure, And forsake the King of kings

    Chorus 1: But mine is hope in my Redeemer, Though I fall, His love is sure
    For Christ has paid for every failing, I am His forevermore

    Mine are tears in times of sorrow, Darkness not yet understood
    Through the valley I must travel, Where I see no earthly good

    Chorus 2: But mine is peace that flows from heaven, And the strength in times of need
    I know my pain will not be wasted, Christ completes His work in me

    Mine are days here as a stranger, Pilgrim on a narrow way
    One with Christ I will encounter, Harm and hatred for His name

    Chorus 3: But mine is armor for this battle, Strong enough to last the war
    And He has said He will deliver, Safely to the golden shore

    Chorus 4: And mine are keys to Zion city, Where beside the King I walk
    For there my heart has found its treasure, Christ is mine forevermore

    Bridge: Come rejoice now, O my soul, For His love is my reward
    Fear is gone and hope is sure, Christ is mine forevermore

    Ending:     Christ is mine forevermore (2X)

      

    Our God Alone

    Who formed the mountains and filled the oceans?
    Our God alone, our God alone
    Who took the dust, breathed life in us?
    Our God alone, our God alone

    Chorus 1:     Alleluia (6x)

    Who came from heaven for our redemption?
    Our God alone, our God alone
    Who died for sin that we may live?
    Our God alone, our God alone

    Chorus 1

    Who rose again? Death could not win
    Our God alone, our God alone
    Who is returning bringing our kingdom?
    Our God alone, our God alone

    Chorus 2:     We will worship, we will worship, Our God alone, our God alone (2X)

    Chorus 1

     

    Wonderful, Merciful Savior

    Wonderful, merciful Savior
    Precious Redeemer and Friend
    Who would have thought that a Lamb
    Could rescue the souls of men
    Oh, You rescue the souls of men

    Chorus:     You are the One that we praise
    You are the One we adore
    You give the healing and grace
    Our hearts always hunger for
    Oh, our hearts always hunger for

    Counselor, Comforter, Keeper
    Spirit we long to embrace
    You offer hope when our hearts
    Have hopelessly lost the way
    Oh, we hopelessly lost the way

    Almighty, infinite Father
    Faithfully loving Your own
    Here in our weakness You find us
    Falling before Your throne
    Oh, we’re falling before Your throne
