The Most Beautiful Words Ever Written
AMAZING GRACE
I once was lost, but now I’m found
So far away, but I’m home now
I once was lost, but now I’m found
And now my lifesong sings
I once was blind, but now I see
I once was blind, but now I see
I don’t know how, but when He touched me
I once was blind, but now I see
And now my lifesong sings
And now my lifesong sings
And now my lifesong sings
I once was dead, but now I live
I once was dead, but now I live
Now my life to You I give
Now my life to You I give
Now my life to You I give
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You
So my soul longs after you/
You alone are my hearts desire/
And I long to worship You//
You alone are my strength, my shield/
To You alone may my spirit yield/
You alone are my hearts desire/
and I long to worship You
Oh Lord, forgive me
And I have believed in a lie
That You were unable to help me.
But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong
Heal my heart and show Yourself strong
And in my eyes and with my song
Oh Lord, be magnified
Chorus:
Be magnified, Oh Lord
You are highly exalted
And there is nothing You can't do
Oh Lord, my eyes are on You
Be magnified,
Oh Lord, be magnified
Verse 2
I have leaned on the wisdom of men
Oh Lord, forgive me
And I have responded to them
Instead of Your light and Your mercy
But now, Oh Lord, I see my wrong
Heal my heart and show yourself strong
And in my eyes and with my song
Oh Lord be magnified
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God
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, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul's Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed 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.
BLESSED BE YOUR NAME
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
Performed by Matt Redman
And speak to me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me to the place
Where I find peace again
You are the strength
That keeps me walking
You are the hope
That keeps me trusting
You are the light to my soul
You are my purpose
You're everything
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
You calm the storms
And you give me rest
You hold me in your hands
You won't let me fall
You still my heart
When you take my breath away
Would you take me in take me deeper now
And how can I stand here with you
And not be moved by you
Would you tell me how could it be
Any better than this
We bend our knees
Oh Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes
From evil things
Oh Lord we cast down our idols
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Give us clean hands--Oh God
and give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be
a generation that seeks
Who seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob
Oh God of Jacob
Oh God of Jacob
Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness.
Opened my eyes let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore you hope of a life spent with you.
[Chorus]
And here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that you're my God,
You're altogether lovely,
Altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
King of all days,
Oh so highly exalted. Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to the earth you created.
All for love's sake became poor.
I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross.
No I'll never know how much it cost to se my sin upon that cross.
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 a 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
For I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know
Your love does not run dry
Chorus:
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart
Is living for
Broken, I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know
Your touch restores my life
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart
Is living for
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 ev'ry 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 pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home-
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR
And rain down the cleansing flood
Healing waters rise around us
Hear our cries lord let 'em rise
Open up the skies of mercy
And rain down the cleansing flood
Healing waters rise around us
Hear our cries lord let 'em rise
It's your kindness lord
That leads us to repentance
Your favor lord, is our desire
It's your beauty lord
That makes us stand in silence
Your love
Your love
Is better than life
And here am I on earth
So I'll let me words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You
And I'll stand in awe of You
Yes, I'll stand in awe of You
And I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You
The simplest of all love songs
I want to bring to You
So I'll let my words be few
Jesus, I am so in love with You
And I will search for Yours
Jesus take my life and lead me on
Lord You have my heart
And I will search for Yours
Let me be to You a sacrifice
And I will praise You Lord
And I will sing of love come down
And as You show Your face
We'll see Your glory here
O come and mourn with me awhile/O come near to the savior's side/O come together, let us mourn//Jesus our Lord is Crucified//Seven times He spoke/Seven words of love/And all three hours His silence cried/For mercy on the souls of men//Jesus Our Lord is crucified//O love of God, O sin of man/In this dread act your strength is tried/And victory remains with love//Jesus our Lord is Crucified//O break, O break hard heart of mine/My weak self-love and guilty pride/His Pilate and His Judas were//Jesus our Lord is crucified//O love of God, O sin of man/In this dread act your strength is tried/And victory remains with love//Jesus our Lord is Crucified//O come and mourn with me awhile//A broken heart, a fount of tears/Ask and they will not be denied/A broken heart love's cradle is//Jesus our Lord is Crucified

O HOLY NIGHT
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!
ON JORDAN'S STORMY BANKS I STAND
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand/And cast a wishful eye/To Canaan's fair and happy land/where my possessions lie/All o'er those wide extended plains/Shines one eternal day/There God, the Son forever reigns/And Scatters night away//I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the promise land(2x)//No chilling wind nor poisonous breath/Can reach that healthful shore/Where sickness, sorrow, pain and death/Are felt and feared no more//I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the promise land(2x)//When shall I see that happy place/And be forever blessed/When shall I see my father's face/And in his bosom rest//I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the promise land

and Who told the ocean you can only come this far?
and Who showed the moon where to hide 'til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives:
All of creation testifies
This life within me cry
I know my Redeemer lives
The very same God that spins things in orbit
runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within we cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I'll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He's alive and
There's an empty grave.
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything will be alright
If I'd see you
The darkness will turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And everything will be alright
I know you didn't
Bring me out here to drown
So why am I 10 feet under and upside down
Barely surviving has become my purpose
Cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface
If I could just see you
Everything will be alright
If I see you
The darkness will turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
And I will walk on water
You will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
And everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
Everything's alright
THERE IS A RIVER
There is a river
whose streams
make glad the city of our God
And I will rejoice
I will rejoice
and be glad
There is a fountain
full of grace
and it flows from Emmanuel's veins
He came and He healed me
He came and refreshed me
He came and He washed my sins away
THOU LOVELY SOURCE OF TRUE DELIGHT
Thou lovely source of true delight whom I unseen adore/Unveil Thy beauties to my sight that I might love Thee more/Oh that I might love Thee more/Thy glory o'er creation shines yet in Thy sacred word/I read in fairer brighter lines my bleeding dying Lord/Oh my bleeding dying Lord/'Tis here whene'er my comforts droop and sin and sorrows rise/Thy love with cheering beams of hope my fainting heart supplies/My fainting heart's supplied/And oh too soon this pleasing scene is clouded o'er with pain/My gloomy fears rise dark between and I again complain/Oh and I again complain/Jesus my Lord, my life, my light, oh come with blissful ray/Break radient through the shades of night and chase my fears away/Won't you chase my fears away/Then shall my soul with rapture trace the wonders of Thy love/But the full glories of Thy face are only known above/They are only known above/Oh come let us adore/My bleeding dying Lord

TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS

VISION OF YOU
Come meet us, King Jesus/Oh wind of change blow through this temple/Sweet Spirit of God, come and mend our hearts/For all we have are songs, unless You come//Awaken what's inside of me/Tune my heart to all You are in me/Even though You're here, God come/And may the vision of You be the death of me/And even though You've given everything, Jesus come//Come free us, King Jesus/It's the only way freedom's given/From You and You alone, In the work You've already done/For all we have are songs, unless You come/Here we are, Lord in this place/Crying out for Your embrace/To hear Your voice/More than songs/Oh please come

WE ARE STANDING ON HOLY GROUND
We are standing on holy ground/
And I know that there are angels all around/
Let us praise Jesus now/
We are standing in His presence on holy ground
Written by Christopher Beatty and Geron Davis
YOU ARE GOD ALONE
You are not a God created by human hands
You are not a God dependant on any mortal man
You are not a God in need of anything we can give
By your plan, that's just the way it is
CHORUS
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on your throne
You are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You were on the throne
You are God alone
You're the only God
Whose power none can contend
You're the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You're the only God
Whose worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that's just the way it is
BRIDGE
You're unchangeable
You're unshakable
You're unstoppable
That's what you are
YOU ARE MY HIDING PLACE
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 my Lord.

YOUR LOVE IS EXTRAVAGANT
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I feel I'm moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in the secret place
Cause Your love is extravagant
Chorus:
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again
