Ever in my life
All along the way
You were there, though I confess I’m slow to see
Even in the night
All alone, it seemed
But faithful hands were reaching out to guide me
In the desert dry
Wand’ring without home
You were there providing for Your needy sheep
Manna from the sky
Water from the stone
Till you led them safely over Jordan
Chorus:
O your steadfast love endures forever
You fill the hungry soul with good
So ever in my life, all along the way
I give thanks for Yahweh walks beside me
Foolish in my pride
When I spurned your ways
I was bound in irons of affliction
In despair I cried
You sent forth your Word
Bursting bonds and prison doors to freedom
Ever in my life
Though the shadows fall
You’ll be there as surely as you’ve been before
Let me now be wise
Quicker now to see
That your steadfast love is fixed upon me

My life flows on in endless song
Above earth's lamentation
I catch the real though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear that music ringing
It finds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?
Chorus:
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I'm clinging
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
What though my joys and comforts die
The Lord my Savior liveth
What though the darkness gather 'round
Songs in the night He giveth
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
A fountain ever springing
All things are mine since I am His
How can I keep from singing?

Your Blood
04:53
|
|||
In every weakness of my fallen flesh
My source of strength is Your blood, O Jesus
Though my transgressions rise above my head
They can rise no higher than the cross
Chorus:
For Your blood is stronger than my sin
Your grace is deeper than my debt
My redemption is paid unto the final cent
Oh what freedom, my Jesus
O wash me purer than the driven snow
Renew my heart by Your blood, O Jesus
To Calv’rys mountain I will daily go
I will leave my burden at the cross
What sin can separate me from Your love?
The price was paid by Your blood, O Jesus
Though condemnation tries to dig them up
They were nailed forever to the cross
And when I stand before the ageless throne
My soul shall plead: just the blood of Jesus
Then as I’m gathered with the saints of old
We will sing the wonders of the cross

Grace to Stand
04:32
|
|||
Blessed Jesus, our Master and our Guide
Grant us grace to continue in Your truth
Through a sea of entanglements and lies
Let your Word, never changing, point us on
As a compass in a raging storm
Keeping course though our eyes fail to see
As a rock in a world of shifting sand
On Your Word give your servants grace to stand
Give us strength for the burdens to be borne
For the way wide and easy lies behind
If Your pathway was suffering and scorn
Will your church find approval and applause?
No, but in distress we cling to love
Knowing well we were foes of the cross
But for grace we’d refuse your open hand
So in your love give you servants grace to stand
Give us faith that Your gospel is our pow’r
Not our wit, not our wisdom, nor our zeal
Only here sinners stand in judgment’s hour:
Jesus died, he was buried, he was raised
On this solid hope your church is built
And against every foe shall prevail
Words of life for a dry and weary land
Near the cross, give your servants grace to stand
Give us hope set completely on the grace
To be ours when Your glory is revealed
Though the godless around us rule these days
Nations rise, kingdoms totter, Jesus reigns
All the praise be Yours forevermore
King of Kings, Lord of Lords, quickly come
Till we see in the clouds the Son of Man
Strong in hope give your servants grace to stand
All the praise be Yours forevermore
King of Kings, Lord of Lords, quickly come
Till we see in the clouds the Son of Man
Strong in hope give your servants grace to stand
Strong in hope give your servants grace to stand

Before His Face
04:36
|
|||
Every secret thought, He has searched it
Each unspoken word, He has known it
With Him the darkness is like the day
Tremble in the light of His presence
Years we spent in deep self-indulgence
Heedless of His gaze set upon us
But out of darkness He called us home
To dwell within the light of His goodness
Chorus:
So let us not be lured by lesser loves
But hunger for the smile of God above
Forsaking worthless ways
We live our days before His face
Ev’n if all the world should approve us
Or in their judgment, rail and condemn us
To God we answer, to Him alone
Forever in the light of His presence
Every breath, a gift for His worship
Every pow’r, a tool for His service
Let all within us unite in love
Flourish in the light of His goodness
With all our heart
Our soul, our mind
Our strength, our God
Ever, only, all for You
With all our heart
Our soul, our mind
Our strength, our God
Ever, only, all for You

May the Mind of Christ
02:31
|
|||
May the mind of Christ my Savior
Live in me from day to day
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say
May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power
May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea
Him exalting, self abasing
This is victory
May I run the race before me
Strong and brave to face the foe
looking only unto Jesus
as I onward go
May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek the lost to win
And may all forget the channel
Seeing only Him
May I run the race before me
strong and brave to face the foe
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go
