Holy, holy Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Highest praises, honor and glory
Be unto Your name,

We are the broken, You are the healer,

Bowing before You, blessing Your name.

Better Is One Day

Better Is One Day
Words & Music: Matt Redman. ©1995 Thankyou Music. CCLI Song #1097451

How lovely is Your dwelling place,
O Lord Almighty;
For my soul longs and even faints for You.
For here my heart is satisfied
Within Your presence;
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings.

CHORUS:
Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek:
To see Your beauty;
To find You in the place Your glory dwells.
On Thing I ask and I would seek:
To see Your beauty;
To find You in the place Your glory dwells.
(Repeat Chorus)

BRIDGE:
My heart and flesh cry out
For You the living God,
Your Spirit’s water to my soul;
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen,
Come once again to me;
I will draw near to You,
I will draw near to You.
(Repeat Chorus)

Be Thou My Vision
Words: Attributed to Dallan Forgaill, 8th Century. Music: Irish folk melody, arr. by Cameron Gray, 2008. ©2008 Rough Harbor Music

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.

CHORUS:
O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
O Lord of my heart
Be Thou my vision, Be thou my vision

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.

CHORUS 2:
O Lord of my heart
High King of Heaven, my treasure Thou art
O Lord of my heart
Be Thou my vision, Be thou my vision

High king of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

Be Still My Soul

Be Still My Soul
Words by Katharina von Schlegel, 1752, translated by Jane Borthwick, 1855. Tune: Finlandia, Jean Sibelius, 1899.

Be still, my soul, the Lord is on your side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to your God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul, your best, your heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul, your God will undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Your hope, your 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, when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears.
Then shall you better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears.
Be still, my soul, your Jesus can repay
From His own fullness all He takes away.

Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord;
Where disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow redeemed, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul, where pain and tears are past,
We safe and blessed shall Jesus meet at last.

Before The Throne Of God Above

Before the Throne of God Above
Words: Charitie L. Bancroft, 1863; Music: Vikki Cook, 1993.
©1997 PDI Worship (Admin. By The Copyright Company)

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a 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.

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.

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.

Awake, My Soul

Awake, My Soul
Words & Music: Sandra McCracken
©2002 Same Old Dress Music. CCLI Song #3947148

The image of God invisible,
The firstborn of all life;
Before and within, You hold it all in,
One Name, one faith, one Christ

CHORUS:
No one is good enough
To save himself;
Awake my soul tonight
To boast nothing else

I trust no other source or Name,
Nowhere else can I hide,
Cause Your grace gives me fear,
And Your grace draws me near,
And all that You ask You provide
(Repeat Chorus)

No seam in this garment,
All my rags to hide,
No less than Your love
For Jesus is mine

When I stand on the edges of Jordan
With the saints and the angels beside;
When this body is healed and the glory revealed
Still I can boast only Christ
(Repeat Chorus)

And crown Him Lord of all

Raise up the crown, rise on the praises,
Rest on the brow of the King of Ages,

We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all;
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all

Thy Mercy, My God

Thy Mercy, My God
Words: John Stocker, 1776. Music: Sandra McCracken, ©2001 Same Old Dress Music (ASCAP).

Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,
The joy of my heart and the boast of my tongue;
Thy free grace alone from the first to the last
Has won my affections, and bound my soul fast.

Without Thy sweet mercy I could not live here,
Sin would reduce me to utter despair;
But through Thy free goodness my spirits revive,
And He that first made me still keeps me alive.

Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
Dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground,
And weep for the praise of the mercy I’ve found.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Great Father of mercies, Thy goodness I own,
In the covenant love of Thy crucified Son;
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

Lift up your voice and with us sing,
Oh praise Him! Alleluia!

Thou silver moon with softer gleam,
Oh praise Him, Oh praise Him,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along,
Oh praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice,
Ye lights of evening, find a voice,
Oh praise Him, Oh praise Him,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

And all ye souls of tender heart,
Forgiving others, take your part,
Oh sing ye! Alleluia!
Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,
Praise God and on Him cast your care,
Oh praise Him, Oh praise Him,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

Let all things their Creator bless,
And worship Him in humbleness,
Oh praise Him! Alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One,
Oh praise Him, Oh praise Him,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia

Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One,
Oh praise Him, Oh praise Him,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
