Jesus Messiah

Jesus Messiah
©2008 worshiptogether.com songs. Words & Music: Daniel Carson, Chris Tomlin, Ed Cash & Jesse Reeves. CCLI Song #5183443

He became sin who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled Himself and carried the cross
Love so amazing, Love so amazing

CHORUS:
Jesus Messiah, Name above all names
Blessed Redeemer, Emmanuel
The Rescue for sinners, the Ransom from heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all

His body the bread, His blood the wine
Broken and poured out, all for love
The whole earth trembled and the veil was torn
Love so amazing, Love so amazing
(Repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
All our hope is in You, All our hope is in You
All the glory to You, God, the Light of the world
(Repeat CHORUS)

Because Of Your Love

Because Of Your Love
Words & Music by Brenton Brown & Paul Baloche. © 2006 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music CCLI Song #4662501

As we come into Your presence,
We remember every blessing
That You’ve poured out so freely from above;
Lifting gratitude and praises
For compassion so amazing,
Lord, we’ve come to give You thanks for all You’ve done

CHORUS:
Because of Your love, we’re forgiven,
Because of Your love, our hearts are clean,
We lift You up, with songs of freedom,
Forever we’re changed,
Because of Your love

BRIDGE:
You’re the One Who has give us freedom,
You’re the One Who is making us new,
You’re the One Who is bringing us healing,
We owe it all to You

The Father’s Love

The Father’s Love
Words & Music by Joel Sczebel ©2009 Sovereign Grace Worship. CCLI Song #5604537

How has the sinner been forgiven,
How has the rebel been made clean,
Or blinded eyes been made to see?
How have the orphans been adopted,
Who hated Your love and ran from grace,
Despised and rejected all Your ways?

CHORUS:
How wonderful the Father’s love
The Father’s love for us
That He would send His only Son
To come and rescue us.
He has saved us, called us blameless,
Guides us now and will sustain us,
Oh how wonderful the Father’s love

Your mercy floods our lives with kindness,
Your grace has colored all we see,
And You have promised not to leave.
You freely give Your Spirit to us,
So we can be sure we’re sons of God,
And rest in the hope of what’s to come.
(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
Though sufferings may fill our lives,
We’re confident we’re heirs with Christ,
And so we cry, “Abba, Father!”

Arise

Arise
Words & Music by Don Moen & Paul Baloche © 2003 Integrity’s Hosanna! Music. CCLI Song #4032337

One thing we ask of You,
One thing that we desire,
That as we worship You,
Lord, come and change our lives.

PRE-CHORUS:
Arise, arise, arise, arise

CHORUS:
Arise! Take Your place,
Be enthroned on our praise,
Arise! King of kings,
Holy God, as we sing—
Arise! Arise!

I Will Rise

I Will Rise
Word & Music by Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves, Louie Giglio, Matt Maher ©2008 Vamos Publishing. CCLI Song #5183450

There’s a peace I’ve come to know,
Though my heart and flesh may fail,
There’s an anchor for my soul,
I can say, it is well

PRE-CHORUS:
Jesus has overcome, and the grave is overwhelmed,
The victory is won, He is risen from the dead

CHORUS:
I will rise when He calls my name,
No more sorrow, no more pain,
I will rise on eagle’s wings,
Before my God fall on my knees and rise,
I will rise

There’s a day that’s drawing near,
When this darkness breaks to light,
And the shadows disappear,
And my faith shall be my eyes

BRIDGE:
And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
Worthy is the Lamb,
And I hear the cry of ev’ry longing heart,
Worthy is the Lamb

Come People Of The Risen King

Come People Of The Risen King
Words & Music: Kristyn Lennox Getty , Keith Getty , Stuart Townend. © 2009 Thankyou Music. CCLI Song #5232617

Come people of the risen King,
Who delight to bring Him praise,
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace;
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in

CHORUS:
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice
O Church of Christ rejoice!

Come those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night,
Come those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight,
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace
(Chorus)

Come young and old from every land,
Men and women of the faith,
Come those with full or empty hands,
Find the riches of His grace,
Over all the world His people sing,
Shore to shore, we hear them call,
The Truth that cries through every age:
“Our God is all in all!”
(Chorus)

Romans 15:5-6; Acts 2:26

Here And Now

Here and Now
Words & Music by Eddie Kirkland. ©2011 Songs At North Point. CCLI Song #6128713

We want to be a church where freedom reigns,
We want to be a people full of grace,
We want to be a shelter where the broken find their place.
We want to be a refuge for the weak,
We want to be a light for the world to see,
We want to be a love that breaks the walls and fills the streets.

PRE-CHORUS:
All are welcome here, as we are, as we are,
For our God is near every heart

CHORUS:
Let Your mercy rise, Let Your hope resound,
Let Your love in our hearts be found,
Let Your grace run free, let Your name bring peace,
Heaven come in the here and now

We want to be a door that’s open wide,
We want to see compassion come to life,
We want to carry truth that shines a beacon in the night.
We want to see the city filled with hope,
We want to bring peace to the troubled soul,
We want to tell the story of a God that we can know.
(Pre-Chorus, Chorus)

BRIDGE:
So let justice roll like a river wild,
Let mercy grow like a burning fire,
Let it come in the here and now,
Your kingdom come ’til it rules the earth,
Your will be done all around the world,
Let it come in the here and now

God Be Merciful To Me (Psalm 51)

God Be Merciful To Me (Psalm 51)
©1997 Christopher Miner Music. Words: Psalter 1912. Music: Christopher Miner.

God be merciful to me,
On Thy grace I rest my plea,
Plenteous in compassion Thou,
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.

My transgressions I confess,
Grief and guilt my soul oppress,
I have sinned against Thy grace,
And provoked Thee to Thy face;
I confess Thy judgment just;
Speechless, I Thy mercy trust

I am evil, born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Savior art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.

Gracious God, my heart renew,
Make my spirit right and true.
Thy salvation’s joy impart,
Steadfast make my willing heart.

Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice,
And in gladness hear Thy voice;
From my sins O hide Thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace.

They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love

They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love
Words & Music by Peter Scholtes. © 1966/1991 Lorenz Publishing Company. CCLI Song #26997

We are one in the Spirit,
We are one in the Lord,
We are one in the Spirit,
We are one in the Lord,
And we pray that our unity
And love may be restored;
They will know we are Christians
By our love, by our love,
They will know we are Christians
By our love

We will serve with each other,
We will serve hand in hand,
We will serve with each other,
We will serve hand in hand,
And together we will spread the news
that God is in our land;
They will know we are Christians
By our love, by our love,
They will know we are Christians
By our love

BRIDGE
And we love,
For He loves us

Our praise to the Father,
Our praise to the Son,
Our praise to the Father,
Our praise to the Son,
Our praise to the Spirit
By whose grace we are one;
They will know we are Christians
By our love, by our love,
They will know we are Christians
By our love

(Bridge)
