Adversity
03:39
|
|||
|
Some days I wonder where this road will lead,
Will it bring me what I want, or what I need,
And will I still be standing when the storm recedes.
I have found life's easy when the sun shines,
When the breezes blow and it is spring time,
But will I still be smiling when winter arrives.
It’s so hard when, I only see a piece of the picture
But I, I trust in You for, You hold on to me and, and my future
So I know I'll trust in You,
When the storm ensues
Because You hold on to me,
And You bring me through
I now know I cannot trust my strength to endure,
For when adversity strikes I fall from You,
It’s not I that holds,
But Your strength that’s secure.
So I know that I'll rest in You,
When the storm ensues
Because You hold on to me,
And You bring me through
It’s so hard when, I only see a piece of the picture
But I, I rest in You for, You hold on to me and, and my future
I now know I cannot trust my strength to endure,
For when adversity strikes I fall from You,
It’s not I that holds,
But Your strength that’s secure.

Draw Near
05:21
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I can’t seem to find the words,
but You know what I should say
And You’re filling in the cracks,
of my broken, uplifted praise
The depravity of sin,
becomes more real as I seek Your face
I’m not worthy to come before You,
but here I am ushered in by Your grace.
Chorus:
And I cry out in confession,
You fill my tears with praise
I’m not worthy to be forgiven,
But, my sin, You have erased
Praise this great Redeemer!
Praise His name!
Bridge:
Your love, has drawn me near;
Your blood, sets me free.
Your love, has drawn me near;
Your blood, sets me free.
Verse 2:
The shackles of the curse of sin,
no longer must I carry
And blessed is the sinner,
whose transgressions are forgiven

No Other Name
03:59
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
No other name can break the bonds of addiction
No other name can give peace in affliction
No other name speaks grace and love and mercy
No other name but Jesus
Chorus:
He is righteous, He is Holy
Worthy of all honor and praise
He is Lord and King, my Shepherd and my God
And His name is Jesus
Verse 2:
No other name gives life to the dead man
No other name imputes righteousness to the wicked man
No other name by which we are saved
No other name but Jesus
Bridge:
He is Father to the fatherless,
Healer to the broken,
He is a comfort to the widow,
And Savior to the sinner (He is)

God Said
03:43
|
|||
|
Chorus:
Oh, Oh, Oh God created!
Oh, Oh, in the beginning God created!
Verse 1:
And God said, "Let there be light." And there was light.
And God said, "Let there be a space between
the waters low and waters high."
And God said, "Let the waters on the earth move
and make land dry."
And it was so, and God said it was good.
Verse 2:
And God said, "Let there be plants
and trees and grass."
And God said, "Let there be lights one for day
and one for night."
And God said, "Let the waters come alive with fish
and birds in the sky."
And it was so, and God said it was good.
Verse 3:
And God said, "Let the earth be filled with animals
Of all kinds."
And God said, "Let us make man in Our Image,
and give him a wife."
And God said, "Let them rule over the earth
and the things in the sky."
And it was so, and God said it was good.
And it was so, and God said it was good.

I Have Forgotten
05:32
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I woke up this morning,
another dose of chaos ahead of me
I got so many things running through my head,
and I wonder why I even got out of bed
I got up, got ready, and hurried out the door,
I didn’t realize I’d missed my time with You, Lord.
Chorus:
Have I taken Your grace for granted?
Have I accepted Your gift of life,
As anything less than extraordinary?
I have forgotten what I am most thankful for.
Thank You for living, thank You for loving,
thank You for dying for me
Verse 2:
I lay my head down and try to go to sleep,
You remind me of all the chances
I had but didn’t take today
To show Your love, Your grace and mercy,
To be the only Jesus someone might ever see
As I lay there wide awake and cry into my sheets,
I make promises for tomorrow, then the cycle repeats
Chorus 2:
Have I taken Your grace for granted?
Have I accepted Your gift of life,
As anything less than extraordinary?
I have forgotten what I am most thankful for.
Have I taken Your grace for granted?
Have I accepted Your gift of life,
As anything less than extraordinary?
I have forgotten what I am most thankful for.
Bridge:
And I try I try and try and try
But never pass the test
And I hide my face from the look in Your eyes
And I nail You to that cross

This Beautiful Mystery
04:27
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Not to myself I owe,
That I, O LORD, am Thine;
Free grace has all the shades broke through,
And caused the light to shine.
Verse 2:
Thou hast willingly made me
Thy offers to receive;
Called by the voice that wakes the dead,
I come to Thee and live.
Chorus 1:
This beautiful mystery
Of how You love me.
And how You called me out of darkness into light.
It’s a beautiful mystery.
Verse 3:
Because Thy sovereign love
Was bent the worst to save;
Jesus who reigns enthroned above,
The free salvation gave.
Chorus 2:
This incredible reality,
That You would love me.
And free me from the bonds of sin and death.
It’s a beautiful mystery.
Bridge:
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, You have saved me.
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, You have saved me.

It Was My Sin
04:01
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
It was my sin that tore His flesh,
And drew His blood out poured.
My pride, my lust, my selfishness,
My debt, my pain: He bore.
Until it was all paid in full,
He suffered more and more.
Then it was done no more to pay
and God's wrath satisfied;
"It is finished!" my Savior cried,
Gave up His life and died.
Verse 2:
It was for love that He died there,
My soul, from death, to win.
Once enemy, now child of God,
Bought with His blood, I live.
I glory in my Savior's love,
I am set free from sin.
By grace, my soul is saved from hell,
Not of my own accord,
New life's been giv'n, what grace divine,
My portion is the Lord.
Verse 3:
It was to God that Christ did heed
and gave His life to praise.
In the Savior's death, God was pleased,
A people dead, to raise.
Now those once lost have now been found.
God's children join to sing:
"We sing about the God Who saves,
Who died and rose again!
Forever we will glorify,
Our Savior and our King!
We sing about the God Who saves,
Who calls us for His own.
Forever we will glorify, the Savior of our souls!"

The Banquet Feast
03:26
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
This is the feast of heavenly wine
and God invites to sup.
The juices of the Living Vine
were pressed to fill the cup.
Chorus:
O bless the Savior, ye that eat
with royal dainties fed.
Not heaven affords a costlier treat
for Jesus is the bread.
Verse 2:
The vile, the lost, He calls to them
"Ye trembling souls appear."
The righteous in their own esteem
have no acceptance here.
Verse 3:
Approach ye poor, nor dare refuse
the banquet spread for you.
Dear Savior, this is welcome news
that I may venture to.
Verse 4:
If guilt and sin afford a plea
and may obtain a place
surely the Lord will welcome me
and I shall see His face!

There Is a Fountain
04:28
|
|||
|
There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God,
Be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God,
Be saved, to sin no more.
E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream,
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die
When this poor lisping,
Stamm’ring tongue lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler,
Sweeter song I’ll sing Thy pow'r to save:
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save,
I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save;
Then in a nobler,
Sweeter song I’ll sing Thy pow’r to save.

Our faces in the dirt

Wash over us, make us clean, make us holy

Wash over us, make us clean, make us holy

As For Me
04:20
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I have told her time and again
that I love her
And I have prayed day after day
for my love to hold her
And today with this ring,
I commit through thick and thin
But there’s something else that I must commit
And it’s to You, my Lord…
Chorus:
As for me and my house
we will serve You Lord
And from me and my house
let there be glory to Your throne
I exalt You Lord Most High,
and I surrender to You my life
Lord I commit to You my house and my home
Verse 2:
Lord I know there will be days
where the road might seem unclean
But I pray You will give us the strength
to make it through the day
And today with this ring,
I commit through poverty or wealth
But there’s something else that I must commit
And it’s to You my Lord…
Verse 3:
And I will love her with every year to come,
more and more each day
And she will know I loved her until the end
the end by death or by Your glorious return
And today with this ring I commit till death do us part
