Come Thou Fount
04:39
|
|||
|
Tune my heart, Tune my heart
Tune my heart, Lord, to sing Thy grace
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
I'll praise the Mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
O Praise Him, O Praise Him
Alleluia, Alleluia
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus, sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the throne of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O Praise Him, O Praise Him
Alleluia, Alleluia
O to grace, how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
And 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, Lord, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
O Praise Him, O Praise Him
Alleluia, Alleluia
O Praise Him, O Praise Him
Alleluia, Alleluia

Before the Throne
05:16
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
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 (2x)
Verse 2:
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 (2x)
Chorus 1:
Before the Throne, I come before the throne
I stand alone, but not alone
He stands with me, but more than with me
He stands for me as His own
My heart will dance before the throne
Verse 3:
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)
Chorus 2:
Before the Throne, I come before Your throne
My heart of stone, in you atoned
Now I am dust, come recreate me
Sing your song in these dry bones
My heart will dance (w/ You) before Your throne
Response:
You’ve been waiting all these years
You’ve been waiting all these hours, all these days
You’ve been waiting for the chance
to take the shackles off your feet and dance
How you can dance!
Now is the time to be free
Now is the time to make your choice, to make your choice
Now is the time to be free
Now is the time to make your voice, to make your voice heard
Chorus 3:
Before the Throne, come sing before the throne
You stand alone, but not alone
I stand with you, but more than with you
I stand for you as my own
My spirit dances now with you before the throne.

Be Still My Soul
04:29
|
|||
|
Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Up In Arms
03:24
|
|||
|
When my soul is up in arms
Consumed and charmed by fear
Then, my soul, don’t be alarmed
pass through this storm of tears
For here in the arms of my Father
All my fear…fades away
And here…I learn to trust him
When I’m up in arms, up in His arms, I learn to pray
Oh…Oh…Oh…
When I’m up in arms, up in His arms, I learn to pray
When my soul is so disturbed
I cannot curb the flood
Rest, my soul, in He who stirred
up life and breath in mud
For here in the arms of my Father
All my fear…fades away
And here…I learn to trust him
When I’m up in arms, up in His arms, I learn to pray
Oh, weariness isn’t weakness
‘Cause weakness wouldn’t have the strength to try
No, weariness is wisdom speaking
“Trust the One on whom your joy and strength rely”
Trust the One on whom your joy and strength rely
Oh…Oh…Oh…
Trust the One on whom your joy and strength rely
For here in the arms of my Father
All my fear…fades away
And here…I learn to trust him
When I’m up in arms, up in His arms, I learn to pray
When I’m up in arms, up in Your arms (2x)
When I’m up in arms, up in Your arms, fear fades away
When I’m up in arms, up in Your arms (2x)
When I’m up in arms, up in Your arms, I learn to pray
Oh…Oh…Oh…
Up in Your arms, my Papa’s arms, yes, I will stay

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
My weakness I feel I must finally show
Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free
Awake, my soul
Awake, my soul
All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found?
Could a garden come up from this ground at all?
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
And where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
And where you invest your love, you invest your life
Awake my soul (You make beautiful things…)
Awake my soul
Awake my soul
For you were made to meet your maker
you were made to meet your maker
All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You
You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
Awake my soul (You make beautiful things…)
Awake my soul
Awake my soul
We were made to meet our Maker
Come now, lift your eyes and see His face…
You are my home now, my home now is You
You are my home now, my home now is You

I Am Yours
05:14
|
|||
|
Lord, let me walk in Your shadow
You are my fortress and my God
You saved my soul and healed this broken heart
And I will love you to the end
And I will love you to the end
For I am Yours, I am Yours
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
You bought me with your precious blood
and now you’ve set me free
I am Yours, I am Yours
I am Yours
Lord, let me walk in Your fire
Oh, let it cleanse me heart and soul
You are the rock firm beneath my feet
and I will trust you to the end
and I will trust you to the end
For I am Yours, I am Yours
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
You bought me with your precious blood
and now you’ve set me free
I am Yours, I am Yours
I am Yours
Lord, how can I stand in Your presence?
How can you see past my willful sin?
You cleansed my heart, now I can see Your face
And I’ll be in awe forevermore
And I'll be in awe forevermore
For I am Yours, I am Yours
I am Yours...and You are mine

Be Thou My Vision
03:34
|
|||
|
Be Thou my Vision, O 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 heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine Inheritance now and always
Thou, and Thou only, the 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 Heav’n’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
with songs of deliverance
whenever I am afraid
I will trust in you
I will trust in you
Let the weak say
I am strong in the strength of the Lord
(repeat)
Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison, O Kyrie, Kyrie eleison
You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
with songs of deliverance
whenever I am afraid
I will trust in you
I will trust in you
Let the weak say
I am strong in the strength of the Lord

Find Rest

O my soul, find your rest in God
Who else could hold you?
Who else could heal you?
Who else could lighten your heart?
O my soul, find your strength in God
Who else could lift you?
Who else could love you?
Adopted as daughters and sons
Know the Father’s heart
Hear the Father’s voice
O my soul rejoice and know…
You are home now, He is here now
And in Him there’s always more
You are home now, all is clear now
And the peace of God is yours
And the peace of God is yours
[Repeat]
O my soul, find your rest in God
O my soul, find your strength in God
O my soul, find your joy in God
O my soul, find your home in God
Know the Father’s heart
Hear the Father’s voice
O my soul rejoice and know…
You are home now, He is here now
And in Him there’s always more
You are home now, all is clear now
And the peace of God is yours
And the peace of God is yours

Dust
06:05
|
|||
|
Many years ago
when you were not yet born
when nothing yet was born
except the dream of what would be
The Artist went to work
Splashing light in space
Painting all the faces
of the facets of his diamond soul
And here I am…formed by that sacred trust
Yet, here I am…nothing more than dust
I am a miraculous reflection of the timeless resurrection
yet the glory I was made for so often falls to rust
Not so long ago
My rust had turned to shame
and I could hardly name
the many bridges I had burned
The Father took my shame
And held it in his palm
And spoke a cosmic psalm
to form the dust into this starlit soul
And here I am…formed by that sacred trust
Yet, here I am…nothing more than dust
I am a miraculous reflection of the timeless resurrection
yet the glory I was made for so often falls to rust
Many years from now
when I am dust again
and nothing will remain
except the dream of what would be
The Artist will return
and paint the final stroke
perpetual creation in
relationship with every dusty soul…redeemed
the dream no longer dream
the final seam will show
the tapestry of history
the living breathing artistry, his breath
his breath the blazing starlight of the soul
