You Hold Me Now

April 1, 2011 cgray

On that day when I see
All that You have for me
When I see You face to face
There surrounded by Your grace
All my fear swept away
In the light of your embrace
Where Your love is all I need
And forever I am free
Where the streets are made of gold
In Your presence healed and whole
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone

CHORUS:
No weeping, no hurt or pain
No suffering, You hold me now
You hold me now
No darkness, no sick or lame
No hiding, You hold me now,
You hold me now

In this life I will stand
Through my joy and my pain
Knowing there’s a greater day
There’s a hope that never fails
Where Your name is lifted high
And forever praises rise
For the glory of Your Name
I believe it for the day
Where the wars and violence cease
All creation lives in peace
Let the songs of heaven rise to you alone
(Chorus)

For eternity
All my heart will give
All the glory to Your name

©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!

Narrow Little Road

February 10, 2011 cgray

I believe in the love of God
It is an orphan’s wildest dream
It is a narrow little road
It is an ever-widening desert stream

CHORUS:
Oh I, and I,
I will leave this road
For the narrow

It is portrayed in the bread and wine
Let it fortify my bones
It is more than just a sign
It is the fountain from that desert stone
(Chorus)

It is the path where the humble go
It is the narrow not the broad
It is the pathway down the hill
To the graveyard of the living God
(Chorus)

The love of God is the hymn of hope
Let the needy join the throng
Let the widow hear and cope
Let the crippled rise to sing this song
(Chorus)

By Thy Mercy

January 20, 2011 cgray

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

November 30, 2010 cgray

www.cardiphonia.org
Apostle’s Creed, Article III: “Conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary”
Bruce’s studio version
Download the entire album, Hymns of Faith, for free!

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)

Thanks Bruce for a fun and encouraging project!

Article XI, The Resurrection of the Body
Winter In His Heart of Gloom
Words by Samuel John Stone (Lyra Fidelium,1866) and Cameron Gray, 2010. Music by Cameron Gray. ©2010 Rough Harbor Music.

Winter in his heart of gloom
Sings the song of coming bloom;
So o’er death our souls shall sing
Lays of the eternal spring
Then decay shall be no more
And, the weary seed-time o’er,
All the dead in Christ shall rise
For the Harvest of the skies

Then there shall be, there shall be
Then there shall be, there shall be
Then there shall be sorrow no more, no more

We from earth to heaven shall soar
In that flesh which once we wore,
Deathless now and glorified
Like our Lord and at His side
This is life’s eternal Spring
This the coming joy we sing
Look we ever toward that Day
Be it near or far away
(Chorus)

Mid the sorrow and the strife
Tis the music of our life,
And our song has this refrain,
Our Redeemer comes again
Our Redeemer comes
(Chorus)

Hallelujah To My King

June 16, 2010 cgray

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

June 2, 2010 cgray

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.
