Happy Day

The greatest day in history, death is beaten, You have rescued me
Sing it out, Jesus is alive!
The empty cross, the empty grave, Life eternal, You have won the day
Shout it all, Jesus is alive! He´s alive!

 Chorus: Oh happy day, happy day – You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day – I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changed

When I stand, in that place, free at last, meeting face to face
I am Yours, Jesus, You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace, earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive! He’s alive!

Bridge: Oh what a glorious day, what a glorious way, That You have saved me
Oh what a glorious day, what a glorious name!

Christ is Risen

Let no one caught in sin remain, inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross, and run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us, freely You’ve bled for us

Chorus:  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

Bridge:  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!
Singing, O death, where is your sting? O hell, where is your victory?
O church come stand in the light! Our God is not dead! He’s alive! He’s alive!

O Praise the Name

I cast my mind to Calvary, where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds His hands His feet, my Savior on that cursed tree

His body bound and drenched in tears, they laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone, Messiah still and all alone

Chorus: O praise the Name of the Lord our God, O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise, Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

Then on the third at break of dawn, the Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death, where is your sting? The angels roar for Christ the King!

He shall return in robes of white, the blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints, my gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

Forever (We Sing Hallelujah)

The moon and stars they wept, the morning sun was dead,
The Savior of the world was fallen
His body on the cross, His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him

One final breath He gave, as heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave, the war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken

Pre-Chorus:  The ground began to shake, the stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death, where is your sting?
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated

Chorus: Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive!

Bridge:  We sing hallelujah we sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome!

And now death, where is your sting?
Our resurrected King has overcome
He’s overcome, oh

Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Into the darkness You shine, Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You, None like You

God, You are higher than any other
Our God is healer, awesome in power – our God, our God

And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?
What could stand against?

The Lord reigns, we will sing and shout
You reign, You reign

Let darkness tremble at Your Name
Why do the nations rage when the King is on His throne?

We are a vapor, You are eternal
Love everlasting, reigning on high

Bowing before You, blessing Your name

Taste and See

O taste and see that the Lord is good
O taste and see that the Lord is good to me
You have turned my mourning into dancing
Put off my rags and clothed me with gladness
And I will arise and I will praise You
I’ll sing and not be silent 

Chorus: O Lord my God I will give thanks to You forever
O Lord my God I will give thanks to You
We bless You Lord

Bridge: I will live only for You
I will lift these hands up to You
I will dance before You
I will shout it I will shout it to You

King of Kings

In the darkness we were waiting, Without hope without light
Till 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

Chorus:  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
Till 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

Tag: Praise forever to the King of kings

Here I Am to Worship

Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Chorus:  So here I am to worship, Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re my God
And You’re altogether lovely, Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days, Oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love’s sake became poor

Bridge: And I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross (2X)

I Stand Amazed

I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me, a sinner condemned, unclean

Chorus:  How marvelous how wonderful, And my song shall ever be
How marvelous how wonderful, Is my Savior’s love for me

He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own
He bore the burden to Calvary and suffered and died alone

And with the ransomed in glory, His face I at last shall see
It will be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me

 Be Unto Your Name

We are a moment, You are forever
Lord of the ages, God before time
We are a vapor, You are eternal
Love everlasting, reigning on high

Chorus:   Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Highest praises, honor and glory
Be unto Your name, Be unto Your name

We are the broken, You are the healer
Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save
You are the love song we’ll sing forever
Bowing before You, blessing Your name

Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn 3/7/21

My God Reigns

There’s nowhere else that I’d rather be
Than dancing with You as You sing over me
There’s nothing else that I’d rather do
Lord than to worship You

Bridge:  So rejoice be glad rejoice O my soul
For the Lord your God He reigns forevermore
I rejoice, for my God reigns
So rejoice, be glad, your Father and your Friend
Is the Lord, your God, whose rule will never end
I rejoice, for my God reigns

Chorus: My God reigns, And I dance the dance of praise
My God reigns, With a shout I will proclaim
My God reigns, And I worship without shame
My God reigns, And I will rejoice, for my God reigns
My God reigns, My God reigns

Everlasting God

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord

Pre-Chorus:    Our God You reign forever
Our Hope, our strong Deliv’rer

Chorus:  You are the everlasting God, The everlasting God
You do not faint, You won’t grow weary
You’re the defender of the weak, You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

The Kingdom Song

From eternity to eternity Your kingdom will ever reign
You are the one God, Jesus, And we bear Your name
From the rulers north, to the rulers south, To the kingdoms east and west
They’ll bow before You, Your Lordship confess

Bridge:  Your oceans clap their hands, Your trees they wave their branches, Your rivers run with praise, All creation will praise

Chorus:   Lord we delight in Your truth
Your kingdom’s advancing, And Lord, we are moving with You
Lord, we delight in Your reign
Creation will praise You, And Lord, we exalt Your great name

Adoration

Down in adoration falling, This great sacrament we hail
Over ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail
Faith for all defects supplying, Where the feeble senses fail

To the everlasting Father, And the Son who reigns on high
With the Spirit blest proceeding forth from each eternally
Be salvation, honor, blessing, might and endless majesty

Chorus: Jesus, Lamb of God, saving love for all
Lord of heav’n and earth, Father’s love for all
I bow to You, Jesus, Lamb of God
Saving love for all, Lord of heav’n and earth
I bow to You, bow to You, I bow to You

Pour upon us, Lord of Mercy, Spirit of Thy selfless love
Make us of one true heart yearning for the glory of Thy Son
Jesus fire of justice blazing, Glad’ning light forevermore 

Above All

Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure
What You’re worth

Chorus:  Crucified, laid behind the stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

This week’s worship songs – and Seek God for the City responsive reading: *************************************************************************

The Lion and The Lamb

He’s coming on the clouds, Kings and kingdoms will bow down
Every chain will break, As broken hearts declare His praise
Who can stop the Lord Almighty

Chorus:      Our God is a Lion, the Lion of Judah
He’s roaring with power, and fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is a Lamb, the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him

So open up the gates, Make way before the King of Kings
The God who comes to save, Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty

For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty, Who can stop the Lord Almighty
For who can stop the Lord

 
Goodness of God

I love You Lord, Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up, Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus:   All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice, You have led me through the fire
In darkest night, You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a father, I’ve known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God

Bridge:      Your goodness is running after, It’s running after me (2X)
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now, I give You everything
Your goodness is running after, It’s running after me

The Lord is Gracious and Compassionate

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and rich in love (2X)

The Lord is good to all,
He has compassion on all that He has made
As far as the east is from the west
That’s how far He has removed our transgressions from us
As far as the east is from the west
That’s how far He has removed our transgressions from us

Praise the Lord, Oh my soul, Praise the Lord

From the Inside Out

A thousand times I’ve failed, Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again, (Still) I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

Your will above all else, My purpose remains
The art of losing myself, In bringing You praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

Bridge:       In my heart in my soul, I give You control
Consume me from the inside out, Lord
Let justice and praise, Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Chorus:     Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never-ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart, Is to bring You praise
From the inside out, oh my soul cries out

Reign Above It All

The reign of darkness now has ended
In the kingdom of light, In the kingdom of light
Forever under Your dominion
You’re the King of my life, You’re the King of my life

Chorus 1:   You reign above it all, You reign above it all
Over the universe, And over every heart
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all

On the cross the work was finished
God, You poured out Your life, Just to give us new life
Now from the lips of the forgiven
Hear an anthem arise, ‘Cause Jesus, You’re alive

Chorus 2:  Let all of heaven
And the earth erupt in song
Sing hallelujah to the Everlasting One
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all

Bridge:      You sent the darkness running, Out of an empty grave
Now seated above in glory, Enthroned on the highest praise

You Hem Me In (Psalm 139) Kelsey’s Song

You hem me in, behind and before me
You know me well, You’ve laid your hand upon me
Such knowledge is too great for me to comprehend
Your love surrounding me, You hem me in

Before my birth
In my mother’s womb You formed me
How precious and how vast Your thoughts about me
No matter where I go I can’t escape Your love
Your love pursuing me, You hem me in

Where can I go from Your Spirit? How can I hide from Your presence? (2X)

I praise You for I’m fearfully and wonderfully made, I praise You, my Creator, my Redeemer
I praise You, for Your works O God are wonderful indeed, I will proclaim Your love and faithfulness

Waymaker      

(You are) Way Maker, Miracle Worker
Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness
My God – that is who You are (repeat)

Tag:           That is who You are, that is who You are (2X)

Bridge:      Even when I (we) don’t see it, You’re working
Even when I (we) don’t feel it, You’re working
You never stop, You never stop working (2X)

The Blessing

The Lord bless you and keep you
Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you
The Lord turn His face toward you
And give you peace

Chorus:       A – men, A – men, A-men

Bridge 1:    May His favor be upon you
And a thousand generations
And family and your children
And their children and their children

Bridge 2:   May His presence go before you
And behind you and beside you
All around you and within you He is with you, He is with you
In the morning in the evening
In your coming and your going
In your weeping and rejoicing, He is for you, He is for you

Tag:             He is for you, He is for you (3X)    He is for you!!

Seek God For The City Responsive Reading

Leader:   This Sunday we are praying for God to pour out fresh rivers of His Spirit, beginning with a reading from Isaiah 44:3-4. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and  streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, and My blessing on  your descendants.

All:           They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.

Leader:    Let us pray. Pour out Your Spirit with slow, steady abundance, so that many streams begin to flow through desolate places.

Men:          Cause many who are dry and lifeless to be revived by the work of Your Spirit.

Women:   Divert a gentle river of life from heaven upon our entire city.

All:             Inundate us with Your love. Soak us with steady streams so that what now lies dormant will bloom in soon-coming days of blessing.

Leader:    Bring the outpouring of Your life on our children.

All:            Amen!

Leader:   Keep the river running through their lives so that they will grow as strong and tall as trees.

All:             Maranatha!
