No Other Savior

Words & Music by Jon Neufeld & Tim Neufeld
©2010 Stonebrook Music Company (EMI Christian Music Publishing) CCLI Song #5683259

Lord of every age,
Author of our faith,
The First, the Last, the same,
The Name above all names;
Crowned in majesty,
Glorious Prince of Peace,
Throned at God’s right hand,
The world at Your command,
The world at Your command.

CHORUS:
Jesus, Lamb of God,
How great You are,
There is no other Savior;
Every knee bows down
At your renown,
There is no other Savior

Merciful High Priest,
Lover of the least,
Generous and meek,
Protector of the weak;
Sacrificed to death,
For us, Your final breath,
You died, the world to save,
To overcome the grave,
You overcame the grave
(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
You will reign forever,
You reign forever!

Heb 12:2; Phil 2:9; Isa 9:6; Mk 16:19; Ps 110:1; Heb 4:14-16; Isa 45; Rom 14:11

By Thy Mercy

By Thy Mercy
Words by James J. Cummins, 1839. Music by Greg Thompson ©2004 Greg Thompson Music

Jesus, Lord of life and glory,
Bend from heav’n thy gracious ear;
While our waiting souls adore thee,
Friend of helpless sinners, hear.

From the depth of nature’s blindness,
From the hard’ning pow’r of sin,
From all malice and unkindness,
From the pride that lurks within.

CHORUS:
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord
By thy mercy, O deliver us, good Lord, good Lord

When temptation sorely presses,
In the day of Satan’s pow’r,
In our times of deep distresses,
In each dark and trying hour.

When the world around is smiling,
In the time of wealth and ease,
Earthly joys our hearts beguiling,
In the day of health and peace.
(Chorus)

In our weary hours of sickness,
In our times of grief and pain,
When we feel our mortal weakness,
When all human help is vain.

In the solemn hour of dying,
In the awful judgment day,
May our souls, on thee relying,
Find thee still our Rock and Stay.
(Chorus)

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.

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.

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)

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

Isaiah 12
Words and Music: Cameron Gray. ©2009 Rough Harbor Music

Sing to the LORD, come lift up and sing,
God is one, for all He’s done lift up and sing,
Make his Name known to all of the world,
For His banner of love stands unfurled

CHORUS:
Surely God, You are my salvation,
I will trust, I will not be afraid
Surely God, You are my salvation,
And my God, You are worthy to be praised,

Come give thanks, come call on His name,
Come take part, open your heart to praise and proclaim,
And with joy we will draw from that spring,
Oh, and satisfied lift up and sing
(Repeat CHORUS)

BRIDGE:
You are my strength and my song,
Make straight my way, make me Your own
(Repeat CHORUS)

You are my salvation

Scripture References:
Isa 12:1-6; Isa 11:12; Deut 6:4

In that day you will say:
“I will praise you, O LORD.
Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away
and you have comforted me.

Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.”

With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation.

In that day you will say:
“Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.

Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world.

Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion,
for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”
