“10,000 Reasons”
~Jonas Myrin and Matt Redman
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Oh my soul, Worship your 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
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Oh my soul, Worship your holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name
You’re rich in love and your 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
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Oh my soul, Worship your holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name
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 forever more
Bless the Lord, O my soul
Oh my soul, Worship your holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name
“All who are thirsty”
~Brenton Brown
All who are thirsty, all who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life
Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of God’s mercy
As deep cries out to deep
We sing
Come, Lord Jesus, come
Come, Lord Jesus, come
All who are thirsty, all who are weak
Come to the fountain
Dip your heart in the stream of life
Let the pain and the sorrow
Be washed away
In the waves of God’s mercy
As deep cries out to deep
We sing
Holy Spirit, come
Holy Spirit, come
“Be Thou My Vision” (Oh God Be My Everything)
~Ascend the Hill
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, Thou my true Word
And 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, but first in my heart
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art
O God, be my everything, be my delight
Be Jesus, my glory, my soul's satisfied
O God, be my everything, be my delight
Be Jesus, my glory, my soul's satisfied
My Jesus, You satisfy, my Jesus, You satisfy
My Jesus, You satisfy, my Jesus, You satisfy
High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, bright heaven's Sun
And heart of my own heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all
“Blessed Be Your Name”
~Matt and Beth Redman
Blessed be your name
in the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
And the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out I’ll
Turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be your name
(2x)
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
(2x)
“Brother”
~NEEDTOBREATHE
Ramblers in the wilderness
We cant find what we need
We get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador
A man left to his own schemes
But everybody needs someone beside them
Shining like a lighthouse from the sea
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Facedown in the desert now
There’s a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were
Now my hands can’t reach that far
I ain’t made for a rivalry
I can never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong
It’s your love that brings me home
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
And when you call, and need me near
Saying “where’d you go?”
Brother I’m right here
And on those days when the skies begin to fall
You’re the blood of my blood
We can get through it all
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you’re low
Brother let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
“Build my life”
~Housefires
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for you
Jesus, the name above every other name
Jesus, the only one who could ever save

And lead me in Your love to those around me
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring

It is a firm foundation
And I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken
(2x)
Holy, there is no one like You
There is none besides You
Open up my eyes in wonder
Show me who You are
and fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
“Come To Me” (The Rest Song)
~Steven & Hannah Musso
Slow it down, take a breath
Close your eyes, rest your head
Just let go and let it be
He still holds the world while you sleep
He says, “Come to Me and I will give you rest”
As He holds you in His arms the burden lifts
He says, “Learn from Me for I am meek and kind”
Trade your heaviness for peace, His yoke is light
He says, “Come to Me”
Lift your eyes, look ahead
Call to mind all He’s said
For He is joy and He is light
And when you seek, you will find
He says, “Come to Me and I will give you rest”
As He holds you in His arms the burden lifts
He says, “Learn from Me for I am meek and kind”
Trade your heaviness for peace, His yoke is light
He says, “Come to Me”
Receive His peace and know that He is life
Come taste and see only Jesus satisfies
(Repeat)
He says, “Come to Me and I will give you rest”
As He holds you in His arms the burden lifts
He says, “Learn from Me for I am meek and kind”
Trade your heaviness for peace, His yoke is light
He says, “Come to Me”
“Days of Elijah”
~Robin Mark
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Behold he comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call!
Lift your voice
It’s the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in the world
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard
Declaring the word of the Lord
Behold he comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call!
Lift your voice
It’s the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes
There’s no god like Jehovah
There’s no god like Jehovah
There’s no god like Jehovah
There’s no god like Jehovah
(2x)
Behold he comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call!
Lift your voice
It’s the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes
(2x)
“Goodness of God”
~Jenn Johnson, et al
I love You Lord
oh Your mercy never fails me
All my day I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
I love Your Voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night You are close like no other
I’ve known you as a father
I’ve known you as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God
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
Your good is running after it’s running after me
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

“HALLELUJAH”
~Johnnyswim
I'm falling I'm falling come catch me you can't make me wait
Stars in the heavens watch out 'cause I'm headed their way

For all of my days I will give You the praise that you do
Hallelu-hallelu-hallelu-hallelujah (2x)
My heart your love never parted
Hallelu-hallelu-hallelu-hallelujah

Hallelu-hallelu-hallelu-hallelujah (2x)
My heart your love never parted
Hallelu-hallelu-hallelu-hallelujah
(Repeat 3x)
“The Heart of Worship”
~Matt Redman
When the music fades all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart
I’ll bring You more than a song for a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You all about You Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You all about You Jesus
King of endless worth no one could express
How much You deserve
Though I’m weak and poor all I have is Yours
Ev’ry single breath
I’ll bring You more than a song for a song in itself
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You all about You Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You all about You Jesus
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You all about You Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You all about You Jesus
“Hold US Together”
~Matt Maher & Steve Wilson
It don’t have a job
It don’t pay your bills
Won't buy you a home in Beverly Hills.
Won't fix your life
in five easy steps.
Ain't the law of the land
or the government.
But it's all you need...
And love will hold us together
make us a shelter to weather the storm.
And I'll be my brother's keeper
so the whole world will know that we're not alone.
It's waiting for you
Knockin' at your door
in the moment of truth
when your heart hits the floor
and your on your knees...
And love will hold us together
make us a shelter to weather the storm.
And I'll be my brother's keeper
so the whole world will know that we're not alone.
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
‘Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's gonna be alright,
It's gonna be alright.
(Repeat)
And love will hold us together
make us a shelter to weather the storm.
And I'll be my brother's keeper
so the whole world will know that we're not alone.
“Holy Spirit”
~Bryan & Katie Torwalt
There's nothing worth more that will ever come close
Nothing can compare, You're our living Hope
Your presence, Lord
I've tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free and my shame is undone
In your presence, Lord
Holy Spirit, you are welcome here
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere
Your glory God, is what our hearts long for
To be overcome by Your presence, Lord
There's nothing worth more that will ever come close
Nothing can compare, You're our living Hope
Your presence, Lord
I've tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free and my shame is undone
In your presence, Lord
Holy Spirit, you are welcome here

“Indescribable”
~Chris Tomlin
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom.
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
(Repeat)
“In Your Midst”
~Allie Paige
I come to sit at your feet
To drink from the fountain of life
How it satisfies
No where else do I want to be
The warmth of your heart is enough
It’s enough for me
Oh I’ve come to have
Communion with the king
To sit at the table and dine
With the highest priest
Oh, to know, just what’s on your mind
The secrets of Heaven
I’ll live to search, to find
So hide me deep inside your heart, Lord
Cover me with your wings
Bring me into safety
Bring me into fellowship with who you are, Lord
Father, Son, and Spirit
This is all I long for
I come to sit at Your feet
To drink from the fountain of life
How it satisfies
Nowhere else do I want to be
The warmth of your heart is enough
It’s enough for me
So hide me deep inside your heart, Lord
Cover me with your wings
Bring me into safety
Bring me into fellowship with who you are, Lord
Father, Son, and Spirit
This is all I long for
This my heart’s desire
To know you and be known
To know you and be known
(2x)
This my heart’s desire
To know you and be known
To know you and be known by you Jesus
So hide me deep inside your heart, Lord
Cover me with your wings
Bring me into safety
Bring me into fellowship with who you are, Lord
Father, Son, and Spirit
This is all I long for (repeat)
“Let the Rain of your Presence”
~Bishop Clarence McClendon, Jacque DeShetler (lyrics)
Let the rain of your presence fall on me.
Ev’ry day that I live
With ev’ry breath I breathe
Let the rain of your presence fall on me.
Ev’ry where that I go,
Lord, let your presence flow, rain on me.
(Repeat)
Love divine, Joy unspeakable
Over flowing in my soul,
This heart of mine,
Is refreshed and at rest,
In your presence, In your presence.
(Repeat)
Let the rain of your presence fall on me.
Ev’ry day that I live
With ev’ry breath I breathe
Let the rain of your presence fall on me.
Ev’ry where that I go,
Lord, let your presence flow, rain on me.
“Let Us Love”
~NEEDTOBREATHE
We were born to embrace, not accept it
We were given nothing more, so we kept it
As the colors of our boots keep fading
We live a life that we hate without saying
Who would listen to the cries of a poor man
We’ve never done nothing, how could we be something?
Every heart has a hour of existence
Every breath brings a chance for redemption
If somehow we could
Wake up
Let us love Like we were children
Make us feel Like we’re still living
In a world I know that’s burning to the ground
Give us time To beat the system
Make us find What we’ve been missing
In a world, I know, is burning to the ground
In a crowd of the dead and disappointed
We’re ashamed, giving up what we wanted
Take a chance on a long shot this time
Aren’t we all just at least worth another try
I’m a king in a land of abuses
Undermined by the promise of excuses
Who’s to win if we know that it’s not fair
Who’s to fight when it seems like no one cares
If somehow we could
Wake up
Let us love Like we were children
Make us feel Like we’re still living
In a world I know that’s burning to the ground
Give us time To beat the system
Make us find What we’ve been missing
In a world, I know, is burning to the ground
It's hard to stay here but where do we go
I know we can't feel it anymore
It's true that time is wearing us down
We fall further and further away
Waiting for always to change
Let us love Like we were children
Make us feel Like we’re still living
In a world I know that’s burning to the ground
Give us time To beat the system
Make us find What we’ve been missing
In a world, I know, is burning to the ground
“Lord I Need You”
~Matt Maher
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here, I find my rest
Without You, I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand, I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour, I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
“Love Like This”
~Lauren Daigle
When I am a wasteland
You are the water
When I am the winter
You are the fire that burns
When I am a long night
You are the sunrise
When I am a desert
You are the river that turns
To find me
What have I done to deserve love like this?
What have I done to deserve love like this?
Your voice like a whisper
Breaking the silence
You say there's a treasure and
You look 'till you find it
You search to find me
What have I done to deserve love like this?
What have I done to deserve love like this?
I cannot earn what You so freely give
What have I done to deserve love like this?
“More Heart, Less Attack”
~NEEDTOBREATHE
Be the light in the crack
Be the one that’s been there on the camel’s back
Slow to anger and quick to laugh
Be more heart and less attack
Be the wheels, not the track
Be the wanderer that’s coming back
Leave the past right where it’s at
Be more heart and less attack
Oooh
The more you take the less you have
Cuz it’s you in the mirror staring back
Quick to let go, slow to react
Be more heart and less attack
Ever growing steadfast
And if need be, the one that’s in the gap
Be the never turning back
Twice the heart any man could have
Oooh
Be the wheels, not the track
Be the wanderer that’s coming back
Leave the past right where it’s at
Be more heart and less attack
Be more heart and less attack
Be more heart and less attack
I’m nearly sanctified
I’m nearly broken
I’m down the river
I’m near the open
Be the wheels, not the track
Be the wanderer that’s coming back
Leave the past right where it’s at
Be more heart and less attack
Be more heart and less attack
Be more heart and less attack
I’m nearly sanctified
I’m nearly broken
I’m down the river
I’m near the open
I’m down the river to where I’m going
“Mountain of God”
~Phil Campbell-Enns
Come, let us go to a place that is pure
To learn about love and wipe away tears
To melt swords of steel and hearts made of stone
To set prisoners free and give strangers a home
So come, come as you are
Oh, come from near and far
Oh, come, salvation we’ll taste
As we climb the mountain of God
From each corner and end of the Earth
We’ll gather together to sing of your worth
Of blind who can see and weary who rest
Good news for the poor, freedom for oppressed
So come, come as you are
Oh, come from near and far
Oh, come, salvation we’ll taste
As we climb the mountain of God
New life awaits for all who believe
All who love mercy, do justice, walk humbly
With Christ as our guide, united we’ll be
Living the kingdom secure in God’s peace
So come, come as you are
Oh, come from near and far
Oh, come, salvation we’ll taste
As we climb the mountain of God
(2x)
“MULTIPLIED”
~NEEDTOBREATHE
Your love is like radiant diamonds
Burst inside us, we cannot contain
Your love will surely come find us
Like blazing wildfires, singing Your name
God of mercy, sweet love of mine
I have surrendered to Your design
May this offering stretch across the sky
These hallelujahs be multiplied
(Repeat)

“Oceans”
~Joel Houston, Matt Crocker, and Salomon Lighthelm
You call me out upon the water
The great unknown, where feet may fail
And there I find you in the mystery
In oceans deep, my faith will stand
And I will call upon your name
And keep my eyes upon the waves
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in your embrace
For I am yours and you are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand will be my guide
Where feet my fail and fear surrounds me
You’ve never failed and you won’t start now
And I will call upon your name
And keep my eyes upon the waves
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in your embrace
For I am yours and you are mine
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Led me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my savior (3x)
And I will call upon your name
And keep my eyes upon the waves
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in your embrace
For I am yours and you are mine

Prince of peace, mighty God;

“On Eagles Wings”
~Michael Joncas
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord: "My refuge,
My rock in whom I trust!"
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
The Snare of the Flower will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under his wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
For to his angels he’s given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways;
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone
And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
“Rain Down”
~Jaime Cortez
Rain down, rain down
rain down your love on your people
rain down, rain down,
rain down your love, God of life.
Faithful and true is the word of our god
All of God’s work are so worthy of trust.
God’s mercy falls on the just and the right;
Full of God’s love is the earth.
Rain down, rain down
rain down your love on your people
rain down, rain down,
rain down your love, God of life.
We who revere and find hope in our God
Live in the kindness and joy of God’s wing.
God will protect us from darkness and death;
God will not leave us to starve.
Rain down, rain down
rain down your love on your people
rain down, rain down,
rain down your love, God of life.
God of creation, we long for your truth
you are the water of life that we thirst.
Grant that your love and your peace touch
our hearts, all of our hope lies in you.
Rain down, rain down
rain down your love on your people
rain down, rain down,
rain down your love, God of life.
“Ring the Bells”
~Johnnyswim
Ring the bells! This time I mean it
Bid the hatred “fair thee well”
Give back the pieces of my Jesus
Take that counterfeit to hell
Bang the drums! This means war
Not the kind you’re waiting for
We say “Mercy won’t be rationed here”
It’s what we’re fighting for
If all is fair in love and war
Then what the hell is loving even for?
If we can’t sing it loud enough
We’ll keep on adding voices up
Ring the bells!
(4x)
Move your feet you tiny people
You’ve been hiding for too long
Behind your statues and your steeples
Does that hit too close to home?
I’ve got faith to move a mountain
And to watch that mountain move
It’s time for words to fall like thunder
Sound of justice breaking through
If all is fair in love and war
Then what the hell is loving even for?
The world laughs and martyrs sing
But love breaks through the calvary!
Ring the bells!
(4x)
You called me boy instead of son
And I ain’t the only one
Was in the throne room of a kingdom
Where I found that I belong
I ain’t scared to face a fortress
I have seen them fall before
With broken bones you’ve built it
But it crumbles board by board
If all is fair in love and war
Then what the hell is loving even for?
If we can’t sing it loud enough
We’ll keep on adding voices up
Ring the bells!
(8x)
Ring the bells! This time I mean it
Bid the hatred “fair thee well”
Give back the pieces of my Jesus
Take that counterfeit to hell
“So Will I”
~Hillsong United
God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of life
And as you speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapor of your breath the planets form
If the stars were made to worship,
So will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve made
Every burning star
A signal fire of grace
If creation sings your praises
So will I
God of Your promise
You don’t speak in vain
No syllable empty or void
For once you have spoken
All nature and science
Follows the sound of your voice
And as You speak
A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what You’ve said
If it all reveals Your nature
So will I
I can see Your heart in everything You say
Every painted sky
A canvas of your grace
If creation still obeys you
So will I
If the stars were made to worship, So will I
If the mountains bow in reverence, So will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness, So will I
For if everything exists to lift you high, So will I
If the wind goes where You send it, So will I
If the rocks cry out in silence, So will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times
God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all of my failures and pride
On a hill you created
The light of the world
Abandoned in darkness to die
And as You speak,
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I could find it here
If You left the grave behind You
So will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If You gladly chose surrender
So will I
I can see Your heart 8 billion different ways
Every precious one a child you died to save
If You gave Your life to love them
So will I
Like You would again a hundred billion times
But what measure could amount to Your desire
You’re the One who never leaves the one behind
“Still Rolling Stones”
~Lauren Daigle
Out of the shadows
Bound for the gallows
A dead man walking
Till love came calling
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
Six feet under
I thought it was over
An answer to prayer
The voice of a Savior
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
All at once I came alive
This beating heart, these open eyes
The grave let go
The darkness should have known
You're still rolling stones
You're still rolling stones
Now that You saved me
I sing 'cause You gave me
A song of revival
I put it on vinyl
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
I once was blinded
But now I see it
I heard about the power
And now I believe it
Rise up (Rise up)
Rise up (Rise up)
All at once I came alive
This beating heart, these open eyes
The grave let go
The darkness should have known
You're still rolling stones
You're still rolling stones
I thought that I was too far gone
For everything I've done wrong
Yeah, I'm the one who dug this grave
But You called my name
You called my name
(Repeat)
All at once I came alive
This beating heart, these open eyes
The grave let go
The darkness should have known
You're still rolling stones
You're still rolling stones
“Turning Over Tables”
~The Brilliance
Fear runs deep, spreading like a virus
Hate is cheap, from afar it costs you nothing
Sister take my hand, brother we will stand
Open up your hearts and find
Love is turning over tables, breaking off chains
When I see you in a stranger, I’m no longer a slave
Turning over tables, tearing down walls
Building up the bridges between us all
Oh oo oo ooooo o oooooo
Let courage be my willingness to listen
So I can feel the wound inside my heart
Let seeds of peace grow in hearts around us
That trees of hope give shade to all (hu)mankind
Sister take my hand, brother we will stand
Open up our hearts and find
Love is turning over tables, breaking off chains
When I see you in a stranger, I’m no longer a slave
Turning over tables, tearing down walls
Building up the bridges between us all
When will we stand for love?
When will we stand for love?
When will we stand for love?
(repeat)
Love is turning over tables, breaking off chains
When I see you in a stranger, I’m no longer a slave
Turning over tables, tearing down walls
Building up the bridges between us all
Oh oo oo ooooo o oooooo
“Words To Build A Life On ”
~Mike Crawford (2004)
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
Blessed are the poor,
Blessed are the weak
Blessed are the ones
Who can barely speak
Blessed in your hurt
Blessed in your pain
Blessed when your teardrops
Are falling down like rain
Blessed when you’re broken
Blessed when you’re blind
Blessed when you’re fragile
When you have lost your mind
Blessed when you’re desperate
Blessed when you’re scared
Blessed when you’re lonely
Blessed when you’ve failed
Blessed when you’re beat up
Blessed when you’re bruised
Blessed when you’re tore down
Blessed when you’re used
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
Blessed when you’re heartbroke
Blessed when you’re fired
Blessed when you’re choked up
Blessed when you’re tired
Blessed when the plans
That you so carefully laid
End up in the junkyard
With all the trash you made
Blessed when you feel like
Giving up the ghost
Blessed when your loved ones
Are the ones who hurt you most
Blessed when you lose your
Own identity
Then blessed when you find it
And it has been redeemed
Blessed when you see what
Your friends can never be
Blessed with your eyes closed
Then Blessed you see Me
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
Blessed when you’re hungry
Blessed when you thirst
Cause that’s when you will eat of
The bread that matters most
Blessed when you’re put down
Because of me you’re dissed
Because of me you’re kicked out
They take you off their list
You know you’re on the mark
You know you’ve got it right
You are to be my salt
You are to be my light
So bring out all the flavour
In the feast of this My world
And light up all the colours
Let the banners be unfurled
Shout it from the rooftops
Let the trumpets ring
Sing your freaking lungs out
Tell them Jesus Christ is King!
Jesus is my Saviour
Jesus is divine
Jesus is my answer
Jesus is my life
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words how can they be mine
These are words to build a life on
These are Your words I want them to be mine
__________ (Optional Ending)_________
Give us ears that we may hear them
voice that we may sing them
life that we may live them
hope that we may give them
hearts that we can feel them
eyes that we can see them
thoughts that we may think them
tongues that we may speak Your words
Your words
These are Your words
I want them to be mine
Be mine
Be mine

Would You shine cause You are the light, You are the light

“You are My All in All”
~Dennis Jernigan
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
Jesus, Lamb of God,
Worthy is Your name
“You Never Let Go”
~Matt Redman
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won't turn back, I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles, But until that day comes
We'll live to know You here on the earth
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles,
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
(REPEAT)
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
You never let, You never let go
You never let go of me
“You’re Beautiful”
~Phil Wickham
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
You’re beautiful
Ooh, Ooh
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
Ooh, Ooh
(2x)
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
Ooh, Ooh
(2x)
When we arrive on 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
Ooh, Ooh
(2x)
I see your face
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
(3x)
