    Revelation 5

    Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

    Up Above My Head

    Up above my head, I hear music in the air (3X)

    And I really do believe.  I really do believe Heaven’s coming right here

    Up above my head there’s singing in the air…All over this place there’s angels everywhere

     

    Heaven come right here. (echo)  Heaven come right here                                                               

    Let your kingdom come.   Let your will be done, Right here on Earth as it is up there.

    Heaven come right here. Heaven come right here.  Heaven come right here 

    All over the world, there’s trouble everywhere… (3x)

     

    But I really do believe Heaven’s coming right here 

    Music makes the world go ‘round.  It makes people happy that’s what I’ve found.

    Sing a song you’ll be happy and free, so gather round children and follow me.

     

    Well, I’ve got a soul that’s weary and worn, but I’ve heard the music since the day I was born.

    I’m not afraid of what the good Lord said, cause I’ve heard the music and it’s..

     

    Lord, You Sure Been Good To Me

     (call) Lord, Lord, Lord,  (response) you’ve sure been good to me (3X)

    You have done what this world cannot do

     

    (call) Woke me up this morning.  (response) You’ve sure been good to me (3x)

    You have done what this world cannot do.

     

    (call) When I’m sick (response) You heal my body and soul (3x)

    You have done what this world cannot do

     

    (call) You’ve healed my broken heart,  (response) You sure been good to me (3x)

    You have done what this world cannot do

    Well, you’ve done what this world cannot do,

    From fire and flood you’ve brought me through

    You’ve crowned me with lovingkindness too, You’ve done what this world can never do

     

    Lord, Lord, Lord (echo)       You’ve been good to me  (echo) (3x)

    You’ve rescued my soul from sin and shame

     

    King of My Heart

    Let the King of my heart be the mountain when 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

    You are good good, Oh  You are good, good Oh

    Let the King of my heart be, the wind inside my sails, the anchor in the waves;

    Oh He is my song

    Let the King of my heart be, the fire inside my veins, and the echo of my days;

    Oh He is my song

    You’re never gonna let, Never gonna let me down (5X)

    When the night is holding onto me, God is holding on

     

    No Longer Slaves

    You unravel me, with a melody, You surround me with a song, Of deliverance, from my enemies Till all my fears are gone;  I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God

    From my Mother’s womb, You have chosen me, Love has called my name
    I’ve been born again, into your family, Your blood flows through my veins

    You split the sea, so I could walk right through it,                                                                                                All my fears were drowned in perfect love
    You rescued me, so I could stand and sing, I am a child of God

     

    Our Father

    Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name
    Your Kingdom come quickly, Your will be done the same

    On Earth as it is in Heaven, Let Heaven come to
    Earth as it is in Heaven, Let Heaven come

    Let Heaven come, let Heaven come

    Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power, Yours is the glory forever, amen
    Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power, Yours is the glory forever amen

    Worship on the Lawn – June 7, 2020

    Lord Most High

    From the ends of the earth (repeat); From the depth of the sea (repeat)
    From the height of the heaven (repeat); Your name we praise

    From the hearts of the weak (repeat); From the shouts of the strong (repeat)
    From the lips of all people (repeat); Your song we raise Lord…

    Throughout the endless ages, You will be crowned with praises, Lord most high
    Exalted in every nation, Sovereign of all creation, Lord most high, Be magnified (3X)

    Surely Goodness And Mercy

    Surely goodness and mercy, Will follow me, All the days of my life, All the days of my life
    And I will dwell, In the house of the Lord — Forever, forever, forever, Amen.  (2X)

    You prepare a table before me, In the presence of my enemies
    You anoint my head with oil, And my cup it overflows
    With love peace and joy, With love peace and joy

     

    You Are My All in All

    You are my strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek, You are my all in all

    Seeking You as a precious jewel, Lord to give up I’d be a fool, You are my all in all

    Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name, Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name

    Taking my sin my cross my shame, Rising again I bless your name, You are my all in all
    When I fall down you pick me up, When I am dry You fill my cup, You are my all in all

    Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name (6X)
    Worthy is Your name, Worthy is Your name

     

    Before the Throne of God Above

    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 heav’n He stands; No tongue can bid me thence depart (2X)

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

    Behold Him there, the risen Lamb, My perfect, spotless Righteousness
    The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace
    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 (2X)

    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 (3X)

     

    Come as You Are

    Come out of sadness, From wherever you’ve been; Come broken hearted, Let rescue begin
    Come find your mercy, Oh sinner come kneel, Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal

    Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal

    So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame, All who are broken, Lift up your face
    Oh wanderer come home, You’re not too far, So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

    Come as you are, There’s hope for the hopeless, And all those who’ve strayed

    Come sit at the table, Come taste the grace,

    There’s rest for the weary, Rest that endures, Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t cure

    So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame, All who are broken, Lift up your face
    Oh wanderer come home, You’re not too far, Lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

    Come as you are, Come as you are, Fall in his arms, Come as you are

    There’s joy for the morning, Oh sinner be still, Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal
    Earth has no sorrow, That heaven can’t heal

    So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame, All who are broken, Lift up your face
    Oh wanderer come home, You’re not too far, So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart
    Come as you are (4X)

     

     

  4. Lyrics for Worship on the Lawn – 5/31

    Here For You

    Let our praise be Your welcome, Let our songs be a sign

    We are here for You, we are here for You

    Let Your breath come from heaven, Fill our hearts with Your life

    We are here for You, we are here for You

     

    To You our hearts are open, Nothing here is hidden, You are our one desire

    You alone are holy, Only You are worthy, God, let Your fire fall down

     

    Let our shout be Your anthem, Your renown fill the skies

    We are here for You, we are here for You

    Let Your Word move in power, Let what’s dead come to life

    We are here for You, we are here for You

     

    We welcome You with praise, We welcome You with praise

    Almighty God of love, Be welcomed in this place

    Let every heart adore, Let every soul awake

    Almighty God of love, Be welcomed in this place

     

    Cornerstone

    My hope is built on nothing less, Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness

    I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ name

     

    Christ alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong in the Savior’s love

    Through the storm He is Lord, Lord of all

     

    When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace

    In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil (2X)

     

    Christ alone, Cornerstone, Weak made strong in the Savior’s love

    Through the storm He is Lord, Lord of all

     

    When he shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found

    Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless stand before the throne

     

    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 sin was great Your love was greater, What could separate us now?

     

    What a wonderful Name it is, What a wonderful Name it is, The Name of Jesus Christ my King…

     

    Death could not hold You, The veil tore before You, You silence 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, What a powerful Name it is, The Name of Jesus Christ my King…

     

     King Of My Heart

    Let the King of my heart be The mountain when 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

     

    You are good good, Oh…   You are good, good Oh…

     

    Let the King of my heart be The wind inside my sails The anchor in the waves; Oh He is my song

    Let the King of my heart be The fire inside my veins And the echo of my days; Oh He is my song

     

    You’re never gonna let Never gonna let me down (4X)

     

    Ever Be

    Your love is devoted like a ring of solid gold, Like a vow that is tested, like a covenant of old
    And Your love is enduring, through the winter rain, And beyond the horizon with mercy for today

    Faithful You have been and faithful you will be, You pledge yourself to me…

    And it’s why I sing…Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips (4X)

    You Father the orphan, Your kindness makes us whole
    And you shoulder our weakness, And your strength becomes our own
    Now you’re making me like you, Clothing me in white
    Bringing beauty from ashes, For You will have Your bride,

    Free of all her guilt and rid of all shame, And known by her true name

    And it’s why I sing…Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips (4X)

    You will be praised, You will be praised, With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord (4X)

    And it’s why I sing…Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips (4X)
