Bless the Lord oh my soul, oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before, oh 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

Most Merciful God, we confess
That we have sinned against You
By what we have done
By what we have left undone

We have not loved You
With our whole heart, our whole heart
We have not loved our neighbors as
We've loved ourselves

For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ
Have mercy and forgive us
That we may delight
In Your will, Your will

And walk in Your ways
In Your ways, in Your ways
To the glory of Your name
Of Your name, of Your name

Most Merciful God, we humbly repent
Help us to walk in Your ways
Most Merciful God
Most Merciful God

Come you weary heart now to Jesus
Come you anxious soul now and see
There is perfect love and comfort in your tears
Rest here in His wondrous peace

Oh the goodness, the goodness of Jesus
Satisfied, He is all that I need
May it be, come what may
That I rest all my days
In the goodness of Jesus

Come find what this world cannot offer
Come and find your joy here complete
Taste the living water, never thirst again
Rest here in His wondrous peace

Come and find your hope now in Jesus
He is all He said He would be
Grace is overflowing from the Saviour's heart
Rest here in His wondrous peace

In the morning when I rise
In the morning when I rise
In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus, give me Jesus
You can have all this world, but give me Jesus

And when I am alone
And when I am alone
And when I am alone, give me Jesus

And when I come to die
And when I come to die
And when I come to die, give me Jesus

Oh the grave that I was in
Oh the crushing weight of sin
Bear beneath the crashing waves
Sinking ne’er to rise again

Jesus pulled me to the shore
And grace abounded all the more
And I was changed that very hour
Rescued by the Savior’s power

Oh Jesus, Our Redeemer
Great Defender, Overcomer
Christ the Victor, there’s no other
Praise his name forevermore

With my last and final breath
Passing through the door of death
I will pray just like your son
Not my will but yours be done

And as I sail to heaven's shores
I will trust you all the more
And leave this life, this fleeting flower
Resting in the Savior’s power

Oh the mighty Great I am
Rules with victory in his hands
Oh He will crush the gates of hell
And bring us with him to dwell

And with all who’ve come before
We will praise you evermore
For death is swallowed up forever
Conquered by the saviors power

I love You, Lord
For You have delivered me
I love You, Lord
For You have delivered

My soul from death
My feet from stumbling
I will walk in the land of the living
My soul from death
My feet from stumbling
I will walk in the land of the living

I will bless You, Lord
for You heard my cry
I reached out my hand
and You saved my life

I will bless You, Lord
for You heard my plea
And the God of Heaven
turned His ear to me

I will bless You, Lord
for unending love
For Your grace and mercy
raining down from above

I will bless You, Lord
to the very end
I will call on You
as long as I may live

When peace, like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou has taught me to say
It is well, with my soul

It is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul

Though Satan should buffet
Though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ has regarded
My helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood
For my soul

My sin, oh, the bliss
Of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
O my soul!

And Lord, haste the day
When my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well
With my soul

Should nothing of our efforts stand
No legacy survive
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive

To you who boast tomorrow's gain
Tell me what is your life
A mist that vanishes at dawn
All glory be to Christ

All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ

His will be done, His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of love

Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ

Chorus

When on the day the great I Am
The Faithful and the True
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new

Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall ere his people be
All glory be to Christ

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide
When other helpers, fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, abide with me

Thou on my head, in early youth didst smile
And, though rebellious, and perverse meanwhile
Thou hast not left me, though I oft left Thee
On to the close Lord, abide with me

I need Thy presence, every passing hour
What but Thy grace, can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, abide with me

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, tears lose their bitterness
Where is thy sting death? Where grave thy victory?
I triumph still, abide with me

Hold Thou Thy cross, before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death, Lord, abide with me

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

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

The Lord hath promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

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

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there

We thought You'd come with a crown of gold
A string of pearls and a cashmere robe
We thought You'd clinch an iron fist
And rain like fire on the politics

But without a sword, no armored guard
But common born in mother's arms
The government now rests upon
The shoulders of this Baby Son

Have you no room inside your heart
The inn is full, the out is dark
But upon profane shines sacred sun
Not ashamed to be one of us

Gloria, Allelu
Christ the Lord
We've longed for You

God sent His son
they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there
to prove my Savior lives

Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
just because He lives.

And then one day
I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death gives way to victory
I'll see the lights of glory
and I'll know He lives

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest, whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin

One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God
With Christ, my Savior and my God

Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and of grace!

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

He who was before there was light
Walked across the pages of time
He who made every living thing
Behold Him

He who heard humanity's cry
Left His throne to wake as a child
He became like the least of us
Behold Him

Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the roaring Lion
Oh, be still and behold Him

He who dined with sinners and saints
Healed the blind, the lost and the lame
Even now He is in our midst
Behold Him

He who chose a criminal's end
Paid with blood to settle our debt
Buried death as He rose to life
Behold Him

Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the roaring Lion
Oh, be still and behold Him
Jesus, Alpha and Omega
Our God, the risen Savior
Oh, be still and behold Him

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Worthy, worthy, worthy
To receive all praise

Be thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light

Be thou my wisdom and thou my true word
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one

Riches I need not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and thou only, first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure thou art

High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all

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

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

Oh the grave that I was in
Oh the crushing weight of sin
Bear beneath the crashing waves
Sinking ne’er to rise again

Jesus pulled me to the shore
And grace abounded all the more
And I was changed that very hour
Rescued by the Savior’s power

Oh Jesus, Our redeemer
Great Defender, Overcomer
Christ the Victor
There’s no other
Praise His name forevermore

With my last and final breath
Passing through the door of death
I will pray just like Your Son
Not my will but Yours be done

And as I sail to heaven's shores
I will trust You all the more
And leave this life
This fleeting flower
Resting in the Savior’s power

Oh the mighty Great I Am
Rules with victory in His hands
Oh He will crush the gates of hell
And bring us with Him to dwell

And with all who’ve come before
We will praise You evermore
For death is swallowed up forever
Conquered by the Savior’s power

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
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 goo
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
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

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

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

Gracious Lord incline Thine ear
My request vouchsafe to hear
Hear my never-ceasing cry
Give me Christ, or else I die

Wealth and honor I disdain
Earthly comforts, Lord, are vain
These can never satisfy
Give me Christ, or else I die

All unholy and unclean
I am weighted by my sin
On thy mercy I rely
Give me Christ, or else I die

Thou dost freely save the lost
In Thy grace alone I trust
With my earnest plea comply
Give me Christ, or else I die

Thou hast promised to forgive
All who in thy Son believe
Lord, I know Thou cannot lie
Give me Christ, or else I die

Come behold the wondrous mystery
In the dawning of the King
He the theme of heaven’s praises
Robed in frail humanity

In our longing, in our darkness
Now the light of life has come
Look to Christ, who condescended
Took on flesh to ransom us.

Come behold the wondrous mystery
He the perfect Son of Man
In his living, in his suffering
Never trace nor stain of sin

See the true and better Adam
Come to save the hell-bound man
Christ the great and sure fulfillment
Of the law, in him we stand.

Come behold the wondrous mystery
Christ the Lord upon the tree
In the stead of ruined sinners
Hangs the Lamb in victory

See the price of our redemption
See the Father’s plan unfold
Bringing many sons to glory
Grace unmeasured, love untold

Come behold the wondrous mystery
Slain by death the God of life
But no grave could e’er restrain him
Praise the Lord, He is alive

What a foretaste of deliverance
How unwavering our hope
Christ in power resurrected
As will we be when he comes

@2012 Matt Boswell, Matt Papa, Michael Bleecher

Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by Thy great help I've come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Bought me with His precious blood

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free
From our fears and sins release us
Let us find our rest in Thee

Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring

By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine own sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

Come, you disconsolate
Wherever you languish
Come to the mercy seat
Fervently kneel
Here bring your wounded hearts
Here tell your anguish
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven cannot heal

He is with you. He is with you
He is with you, even still
Here bring your wounded hearts
Here tell your anguish
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven cannot heal

Joy of the desolate
Light of the straying
Hope of the penitent
Fadeless and pure
Here speaks the Comforter
Tenderly saying
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven cannot cure

He is with you. He is with you
He is with you, even still
Here speaks the Comforter
Tenderly saying
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven cannot cure

Here see the Bread of Life
See waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God
Pure from above
Come to the feast of love
Come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t remove

He is with you. He is with you.
He is with you, even still
Come to the feast of love
Come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven cannot heal

Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon His throne
Hark how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own
Awake my soul and sing
Of Him who died for thee
And hail Him as they matchless King
Through all eternity

Crown Him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

Crown Him the Lord of peace
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole that wars may cease
Absorbed in prayer and praise
His reign shall know no end
And ‘round His pierced feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet

Crown Him the Lord of years
The Potentate of time
Creator of the rolling spheres
Ineffably sublime
All hair Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me
Thy praise shall never never fail
Throughout eternity

Forgive us of all of our sin
And give us the grace to forgive
When we have been sinned against
Restore us, renew us again

Give us the meekness to heal
Give us the mercy to mend
Forgive us all our sin
As we ourselves forgive

A-men.

Giver of life, King of the cross
You took me in, You save the lost

Giver of life, Maker of stars
Creator of all, Lord of my heart

I will give you praise
I will give you praise
Whatever comes my way

Giver of life, Merciful King
Remover of shame, my everything

Giver of life, King of my soul
Giver of life, You make me whole

I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King

I will give to You my burden
As You give to me Your strength
Come and fill me with Your Spirit
As I sing to You this praise

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty handed I rejoice

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You're a good and gracious King

O what grace that You would see me
As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever
I pour out my praise again

Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed the Savior’s birth

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Your grace that leads this sinner home
From death to life forever
And sings the song of righteousness
By blood and not by merit

Your grace that reaches far and wide
To every tribe and nation
Has called my heart to enter in
The joy of Your salvation

By grace I am redeemed
By grace I am restored
And now I freely walk
Into the arms of Christ my Lord

Your grace that I cannot explain
Not by my earthly wisdom
The prince of life, without a stain
Was traded for this sinner

Let praise rise up and overflow
My song resound forever
For grace will see me welcomed home
To walk beside my Saviour

You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Every heart that is broken
Great are You, Lord

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

——-

And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are You, Lord (x3)

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
new mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord, unto me

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with 10,000 beside

Hark the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
“Christ is born in Bethlehem”

Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of the virgin’s womb

Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings

Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold through life's fearful path
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast

He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast

Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast
Precious in his holy sight, He will hold me fast
He'll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast

For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
'Till our faith is turned to sight, When He comes at last!

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

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

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn
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 deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

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 Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

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

When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”

How long? Will You turn Your face away?
How long? Do You hear us when we pray?
On and on, still we walk this pilgrim way - How long?

How long 'til Your children find their rest?
How long 'til You draw them to Your breast?
We go on holding to Your promises - How long?

'Til You wipe away the tears from ev'ry eye
'Til we see our home descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again!

How long 'til Your word will still the storm?
How long 'til You bare Your mighty arm?
How we groan 'til You snatch us from the thorns - How long?

How long? Sweet the dawn that ends the race
How long? Weak our hearts but strong our legs
Looking on - great that cloud of witnesses! How long?

For I am persuaded
That neither death nor life
Nor angels nor rulers
Nor things present nor things to come
Nor powers
Nor height nor depth
Nor any other created thing
Will be able to separate us
From the love of God that’s in Christ Jesus our Lord
From the love of God that’s in Christ Jesus our Lord
From the love of God that’s in Christ Jesus our Lord
Of this I am persuaded

I need Thee every hour
Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford

I need Thee, oh I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour
Stay Thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh

I need Thee every hour
Most Holy One
O make me Thine indeed
Thou blessed Son

In a land by death o’ershadowed
Life at last begins to shine
O’er our wars and losing battles
Peace spreads out its healing vine

Bring your weak and bring your wounded
Lay them at the Savior’s feet
Hearts by sorrows worn and plundered
Find in Him their strength complete

Come then all you bent and broken
He has seen all your distress
Find the peace by prophets spoken
Come to comfort come to rest

Ever refugee and orphan
Will be welcomed at the door
All our violence and oppression
Will be felt and feared no more

‘Mid a world of Rachel’s weeping
Our Lord’s cries are comfort sweet
For our souls his voice is turning
Pleading, Father please forgive!

So come with sin and doubt and questions
With Mary wonder, wrestle, rest
God with us has come to save us
In Him all the world is blessed

℗ 2021 The Porter's Gate, Paul Zach, Page CXVI

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

In tenderness He sought me
Weary and sick with sin
And on His shoulders brought me
Back to His fold again
While angels in His presence sang
Until the court of heaven rang

Oh, the love that sought me
Oh, the blood that bought me
Oh, the grace that brought me
To the fold of God
Grace that brought me to the fold of God

He died for me while I was sinning
Needy and poor and blind
He whispered to assure me
I found thee, thou art mine
I never heard a sweeter voice
It made my aching heart rejoice

Upon His grace I’ll daily ponder
And sing anew His praise
With all adoring wonder
His blessings I’ll retrace
It seems as if eternal days
Are far too short to sing His praise!

I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Can change the lepers spots
And melt the heart of stone

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

O the joy to be, joy to know
It's when I decrease
You fill up my soul
What a joy to see, joy to hold
It's when You increase
I want nothing more

Open my hands, humble my heart
All that I have is Yours
Color my prayers, widen my eyes
Wash me in glorious light

Hasten my ears, bridle my tongue
Focus my heart to hear
Settle my pace, purge me of pride
Again and again, You provide

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing

Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let me their songs employ
While fields and floods, rock, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy

No more let sin and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as, the curse is found

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders, of His love

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

'Cause You are good, good, oh oh
You are good, good, oh oh

And let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh 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

You're never gonna let
Never gonna let me down

This is my Father's world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings
and round me rings
The music of the spheres
This is my Father's world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees
of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought

This is my Father's world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light
the lily white
Declare their Maker's praise
This is my Father's world
He shines in all that's fair
In the rustling grass
I hear Him pass
He speaks to me everywhere

This is my Father's world
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong
seems oft so strong
God is the Ruler yet
This is my Father's world
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King
let the heavens ring
God reigns; let earth be glad!

You set us up above all the stars
You set us on a high place by where You are
While we were dead You made us Your friends
And scattered our debt upon the wind
Glory to One, God's murdered son
Who paid for my resurrection

Once from the dust, once from the grave
Daughters and sons, from the ashes You've raised
And hidden our faults even from Your own face
And scattered our debt upon the waves
Glory to One, God's murdered sonWho paid for my resurrection

Glory to the One who,
Overcame in death
Glory to the One who
Paid for my offenses
Glory to the One
Glory to the One

There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus, no not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s diseases, no not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles
He will guide till the day is done
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus
No not one, no not one!

No life like His is so pure and precious, no not one!
Yet no life slain is enough to save us, no not one!

Has anyone found that Christ forsake him? no not one!
Or sinner find that he would not take him? no not one!

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

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 all your sin and disgrace
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 if born
Jesus is calling

Oh what a Savior
Isn’t He wonderful
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen

Bear your cross as we wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure we found

O come o come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
Who mourns in lowly exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh Israel

O come Thou rod of Jessie free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave

O come Thou day-spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight

O day of peace that dimly shines
Through all our hopes and prayers and dreams
Guide us to justice, truth, and love
Delivered from our selfish schemes

May swords of hate fall from our hands
Our hearts from envy find release
Till by God’s grace our warring world
Shall see Christ’s promised reign of peace

Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb
Nor shall the fierce devour the small
As beasts and cattle calmly graze
A little child shall lead them all

Then enemies shall learn to love
All creatures find their true accord
The hope of peace shall be fulfilled
For all the earth shall know the Lord

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils, His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then, in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness, alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?
Who else could make every king bow down?
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles?
Only a Holy God

What other beauty demands such praises?
What other splendour outshines the sun?
What other majesty rules with justice?
Only a Holy God

Come and behold Him
The One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy
Forever a Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God

What other glory consumes like fire?
What other power can raise the dead?
What other name remains undefeated?
Only a Holy God

Who else could rescue me from my failing?
Who else would offer His only Son?
Who else invites me to call Him Father?
Only a Holy God
Only my Holy God

Oh perfect love come near to me
From hatred help me part
So I may bless my enemies
With glimpses of Thy heart

For I am wise and wicked
But foolish I must become
Your kingdom calls the little child
Oh Lord please make me one
Oh Lord please make me one

Oh love revealed through human ties
Confirmed within my soul
Thou has stirred the trembling thought
That man is not alone

So I will seek Your presence
Though great mysteries confound
By day and night You will arrive
In the souls unsettling sound
In the souls unsettling sound

Oh love that breaks all sinful bonds
Please conquer more of me
These walls of pride are building on
And keep me far from Thee

Ride swiftly wildest stallion
And raise your sword on high
And cut these chords of carnal lies
That I may with Thee ride
That I may with Thee ride

Come Suffering Servant
Teach us to pour out
Show scars so beautiful
Overcome our doubts (x2)

Come King of Sorrows
Come with Your crown of thorns
Come and teach us how to die
So we can be reborn (x2)

Jesus you’re the Suffering Servant
Jesus you’re the Suffering King
Jesus you died once for all
Death has lost its sting

Come Spirt of Fire
Burn us pure and clean
Give us holy seeking hearts
That only want one thing (x2)

Come enthroned in heaven
With victory in your hand
Let your mercies fall like rain
Across this sinful land (x2)

We longed for Egypt in the wilderness
A kingdom made of dust
Built an idol out of happiness
A paradise of rust
We lost all the meaning
Drowned out the feeling
Our hearts barely beating

Restore us again
God of our salvation
Revive us again
In Your unfailing love (x2)

We have trusted in the meaningless
And chased a life of ease
Now we wander in the shadow lands
Where comfort is our king
We lost all the meaning
Drowned out the feeling
Our hearts barely beating

Holy Spirit bring us life once again
Holy Spirit lead our hearts back to You

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flow’d
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone

Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
Naked, come to Thee for dress
Helpless, look to Thee for grace
Foul, I to the fountain fly
Wash me, Savior, or I die

While I draw this fleeting breath
And my eyes shall close in death
When I rise to worlds unknown
And behold Thee on Thy throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee

The blind won’t gain their sight
By opening their eyes

A King is coming to this city
And crowds around are following
If I could see, I would follow too
He heals the sick with his hands
As he walks by they reach for him
If I could see, I would reach out too

The blind won’t gain their sight
By opening their eyes

Son of David have mercy on me
Son of David have mercy on me
Son of David I long to see
Son of David have mercy

I cannot leave this gate
Since I cannot see my way
But I can stand and call his name
No I could never leave this gate
But I will stand and shout his name
And I will count on his grace!

I was blind
Now I see
Jesus saved me

I was a wretch
I remember who I was
I was lost, I was blind
I was running out of time

Sin separated
The breach was far too wide
But from the far side of the chasm
You held me in your sight

So You made a way
Across the great divide
Left behind Heaven's throne
To build it here inside

And there at the cross
You paid the debt I owed
Broke my chains, freed my soul
For the first time I had hope

Thank you Jesus for the blood applied
Thank you Jesus, it has washed me white
Thank you Jesus, You have saved my life
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

You took my place
Laid inside my tomb of sin
You were buried for three days
But then You walked right out again

And now death has no sting
And life has no end
For I have been transformed
By the blood of the lamb

There is nothing stronger
Than the wonder working power
Of the blood, the blood
That calls us sons and daughters
We are ransomed by our Father
Through the blood, the blood

Glory to His name
Glory to His name
There to my heart was the blood applied
Glory to His name

God is my shepherd
I won't be wanting, I won't be wanting
He makes me rest
In fields of green, with quiet streams

Even though I walk
Through the valley, of death and dying
I will not fear
'Cause You are with me, You are with me

Your shepherd's staff comforts me
You are my feast in the presence of enemies
Surely goodness will follow me, follow me
In the house of God forever

Oh that you’d come tear open the sky
That you’d come down, that you’d come down
Oh that the mountains would tremble inside
That you’d come down, that you’d come down

As fire burns away all the lies
Won’t you come down, won’t you come down
Your Spirit makes our souls alive
Jesus come down, Jesus come down
Jesus come down

We have come to meet with you
To follow and love to take hold of you
We have come here to worship you
To honor and know to bow before you
Jesus come down, Jesus come down
Jesus come down

You are our Father we are the clay
Won’t you come down, won’t you come down
You are the Potter so mold us today
Won’t you come down, won’t you come down

O soul are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth
will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Through death into life everlasting
He passed and we follow him there
O’er us sin no more has dominion
For more than conquerors we are

His word shall not fail you he promised
Believe him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell

Flesh will fail and bones will break
theives will steal, the earth will shake
Night will fall, the light will fade
The Lord will give and take away

Put no trust in the earth
In the sod you stand upon
Flowers fade into dust
The Lord will make a place for us

Because of His great Love
We are not overcome
Because of His great Love
We are not overcome

Have no fear for your life
Turn your cheek, turn your cheek
Bear the yoke of love and death
The Lord will give all life and breath

Father in Heaven
We are Your children
You gave us life, O Lord
Life eternal
You hold nothing back
From those You love
You are Father in Heaven
We are Your children

First and the Last, O Lord
You know us deeply
You search our hearts, we trust
You completely
You lay out our paths
And keep us close
You are First and the Last, O Lord
You know us deeply

We sing as one, Lord
We are Your children
Pour out Your Spirit
Upon the broken
O loving Father
Come and draw near us
We see Your glory
And know that You hear us

All hears shall hear
And all eyes will witness
Redeeming power and grace
Of Your Son, Jesus
For He alone can save
And heal the lost
Oh all hears shall hear
And all eyes will witness

We will feast in the house of Zion
We will sing with our hearts restored
He has done great things, we will say together
We will feast and weep no more

We will not be burned by the fire
He is the Lord, our God
We are not consumed by the flood
Upheld, protected, gathered up

In the dark of night, before the dawn
My soul, be not afraid
For the promised morning, oh, how long?
Oh, God of Jacob, be my strength

Every vow we've broken and betrayed
You are the Faithful one
And from the garden to the grave
Bind us together, bring shalom

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Blessed Savior you have promised
All our burdens you will bear
May we ever Lord be bringing
All to you in earnest prayer
Soon in glory bright unclouded
Face to face will be our prayer
Joyful praise and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing, "All is mine"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Saviour He will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
