The Son Forsook The Father’s Home
Words: Samuel J. Stone, 1866; Music: Bruce Benedict, 2010.

The Son forsook the Father’s home for mercy to lost man,
And did not scorn the Virgin’s womb to bear the sinner’s ban.
Meekly the Maiden pure believed the great Archangel’s word,
And by the Holy Ghost conceived the Savior Christ the Lord.

The Word made flesh creation sees, it’s mighty God in Man,
Great mystery of mysteries since ever time began!
That we might gain a second birth the Holy Son was given,
Twas God Himself came down to earth to win us back to heaven.

Lord, we believe with love and praise this wondrous truth of Thee,
Thereby in all our troublous days how strong henceforth are we!
So near art Thou, so strong are we, for now, if we are Thine,
Our Brother in humanity, Thou makest us divine!

We see with peace in times of fear serene Thy human form,
Thy human voice with joy we hear, sweet-toned above the storm.
So dread we not the deathly strife, knowing that Thou hast died,
It can but bear us into life, since nearer to Thy side.

Holy fount of inspiration
By whose gift the great of old
Spoke the word of revelation
Marvelous and manifold

Chorus:
God the Spirit we adore Thee,
In the Triune Godhead One
One in love and power and glory
With the Father and the Son

Author of the new creation,
Giver of the second birth
May Thy ceaseless renovation
Cleanse our souls from stains of earth
(Chorus)

When we wander Lord direct us,
Keep us in the Master’s way
Let Thy strong swift sword protect us
Warring in the evil day
Shall the church now faint or fear
When the Comforter is near?
(Chorus)

Hallelujah To My King

O how strong the power of Jesus’ Name
It is stronger than any other name
How sweet the victory that bore my shame
Took the burden of my sin away

CHORUS:
Hallelujah, what a Savior
I owe everything to Him
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah to my King

O how great the kindness our God has shown
We were strangers, now we’re called His own
His grace has welcomed the sinner home
Tender mercies lead us to the throne
(Repeat CHORUS)

CHORUS 2:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my King
Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my King

O what peace the Spirit of Jesus brings
Through the trials He will carry me
One day in Heaven our eyes will meet
Filled with wonder, all the saints will sing
(Repeat CHORUS)

Thou Lovely Source of True Delight

Thou Lovely Source of True Delight
©1998 Kevin Twit Music. Words: Anne Steele (alt Kevin Twit). Music: Kevin Twit

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
But in Thy sacred Word
I see in fairer, brighter lines
My bleeding, dying Lord,
See my bleeding, dying Lord

Tis here, whene’er my comforts droop
And sin and sorrow rise
Thy love with cheering beams of hope
My fainting heart supplies,
My fainting heart supplies.

But ah! Too soon the 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 radiant 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.

You lift us up on wings like eagles.

Crown Him With Many Crowns (Gray)

Crown Him With Many Crowns
Words: Matthew Bridges, 1852. Chorus & Music by Cameron Gray.
©2010 Rough Harbor Music

Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him Who died for thee,
And hail Him as they matchless King
Through all eternity.

CHORUS:
Crown Him! Lift up your voice
Crown Him! Ye saints rejoice
Crown Him! With songs of joy
Crown Him with many crowns

Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
(Chorus)

Crown Him the Lord of love,
Behold His hands and side;
Those wounds yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou has died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.
(Chorus)

O Come, Dwell In Me
Words adapted from Charles Wesley’s hymn, c.1788. Music by Cameron Gray, 2010. ©2010 Rough Harbor Music

O come, dwell in me,
Spirit of Christ within;
Bring Thy liberty
From sorrow and fear and power of sin.

Hasten
The joyful day which shall this night consume;
Old things
They shall be done away and all will be made new.

You make all things new.

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Words & Music: John Newton, 1779; John P Rees, Edwin Othello Excell, Chris Tomlin & Louie Giglio. ©2006 worshiptogether.com songs. CCLI #4768151

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T’was grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

CHORUS:
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood, His mercy rains
Unending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
(Repeat CHORUS)

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.
(Repeat CHORUS)

How we long to worship You
Yet You’ve told us the offering You desire

To do justice, to love mercy
To walk humbly with You, God
You said, to do justice, to love mercy
To walk humbly with You, God

You have shown us the riches of Your love
You have shown us Your heart for those in need
Lord, You’re opening our ears
To the cries of the poor
You have called us to be Your hands and feet

To the oppressed and the broken
To the widow and the orphan
Let the river of Your justice flow through us
