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, Great are You, Lord

It’s Your breath in our lungs, So we pour out our praise (2X)

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

I Will Exalt

Your presence is all I need, It’s all I want and all I seek
And without it, Without it there’s no meaning

Your presence is the air I breathe, The song I sing, the love I need
And without it, Without it I’m not living

So I will exalt you, Lord, So I will exalt you, Lord, There is no one like you God
So I will exalt you, Lord, So I will exalt you, Lord, No other name be lifted high

No other name be lifted high, Just lift up your voice

And there will be no one like you, And no one beside you
You alone are worthy of all praise, There will be no one like you, And no one beside you

Lord, Take Our Children

Lord, take our children; Lord, give them freedom; Lord, send Your Spirit upon them (2X)

Like arrows from a mighty warrior; Like arrows flaming in the darkness

Send Your Light…into the night; May Jesus Christ be glorified, In our children,  through our children

Goodness of God

I love You, Lord, For 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, Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

And all my life You have been faithful, And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able, Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice, You have led me through the fire
And in darkest night You are close like no other

I’ve known You as a Father, I’ve known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah!

‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me
With my life laid down, I’m surrendered now, I give You everything
‘Cause Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me, oh-oh

Jesus, We Love You

Old things have passed away, Your love has stayed the same
Your constant grace remains the cornerstone

Things that we thought were dead, Are breathing in life again
You cause your Son to shine on darkest nights

For all that you’ve done, we will pour out our love, This will be our anthem song

Jesus we love you, Oh how we love you, You are the one our, our hearts adore

The hopeless have found their hope, The orphans now have a home

All that was lost has found its place in you,

You lift our weary head, You make us strong instead,

You took these rags and made us beautiful

Our affection, our devotion, Poured out on the feet of Jesus (4x)
We love you, Oh how we love you, You are the one our, our hearts adore

Jesus we love you, Oh how we love you, You are the one our hearts adore

You’re Beautiful

I see Your face in every 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 oh oh oh oh, your beautiful (repeat)

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, You’re beautiful

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, 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…

I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful

I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful

Ten Thousand Reasons

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

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

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 sins were great, Your love was greater; What could separate us now

 What a wonderful Name it is…

Death could not hold You, The veil tore before You, You silenced 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!

 What a powerful name it is…

Lord, Take Our Children

Lord, take our children, Lord, give them freedom, Lord, send Your Spirit upon them (2X)

Like arrows from a mighty warrior, Like arrows flaming in the darkness

Send Your Light into the night, May Jesus Christ be glorified

In our children,  through our children

One Thing

One thing, one thing I desire, To dwell and to inquire, In Your holy place

One thing, this one thing I seek, A time and place to meet, And see you face to face

One__ thing__ I desire, To dwell in the house of the Lord, All the days of my life

To behold Your beauty, Lord, To know and love You more and more

It’s what I’ve been created for, This one thing

To lean upon the One I love, Safely resting in Your arms, Set Your seal upon my heart

I desire, this one thing

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation

O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near, Praise Him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord, Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth

Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth

Hast thou not seen all that his people have been, Granted in what He ordaineth

Praise to the Lord, Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee

Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee

Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, If with His love He befriend thee

Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him,

All that hath life and breath, Come now with praises before Him

Let the “Amen” sound from His people again, Gladly forever adore Him

Hallelujah,  hallelujah,  hallelujah,  hallelujah

Lord Take My Life

Lord, take my life.  Make it Your home, Lord live through me for I am not my own

Bought with a price The blood of Your Son, Nothing I’ve earned, but by Your grace I come.

Lord take my heart, Make it Your throne, Lord reign in me for I am not my own

(*Lord live through me for I am not my own)

Our Great God

Eternal God, unchanging, mysterious and unknown

Your boundless love unfailing in grace and mercy shown

Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight around Your glorious throne

They raise their voices day and night in praise to You alone

Hallelujah!  Glory be to our great God!  Hallelujah!  Glory be to our great God!

Lord, we are weak and frail, helpless in the storm

Surround us with Your angels. Hold us in Your arms

Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm

Rise up, O Lord and He will flee before our Sovereign God

For this the Father sent His Son. For this our Savior came

To put an end to Satan’s works, God’s Kingdom here to bring

He bore our sins upon the cross.  He died, and rose to save

We have no fear of death or hell, Christ triumphed o’er the grave!

Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird

Let every mountain, every field and valley of the earth

Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe

Sing praises to the living God Who rules them by His Word

More Love, More Power

More love, more power; More of You in my life (2X)
And I will worship You, with all of my heart; I will worship You, with all of my mind
I will worship You, with all of my strength; For You are my Lord (2X)

Lord, Take Our Children

Lord, take our children; Lord, give them freedom; Lord, send Your Spirit upon them (2X)

Like arrows from a mighty warrior; Like arrows flaming in the darkness

Send Your Light…into the night; May Jesus Christ be glorified

In our children,  through our children

Men Of Faith Rise Up And Sing

Men of faith rise up and sing; Of the great and glorious King

You are strong when you feel weak; In your brokenness complete

Shout to the North and the South; Sing to the East and the West;

Jesus is Savior to all; Lord of heaven and earth

Rise up women of the truth; Stand and sing to broken hearts
Who can know the healing power; Of our awesome King of love

We will shout to the North and the South; Sing to the East and the West
Jesus is Savior to all; Lord of heaven and earth

We’ve been through fire, we’ve been through rain; We’ve been refined by the power of His name
We’ve fallen deeper in love with You; You’ve burned the truth on our lips

Rise up church with broken wings; Fill this place with songs again
Of our God who reigns on high; By His grace again we’ll fly

His Mercy is More

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

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more; Stronger than darkness, new every morn
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

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 Great Thou Art

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 Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art

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

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation; And lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow with humble adoration; And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
