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

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!
