Psalm 113
02:21
|
|||
|
Sing praise, you servants of the Lord
And praise His name in one accord
Blest be the Lord’s name now and ever
From where we see the rising sun
To where it sets when day is done
Shall the Lord’s name be praised forever
Above all nations is the Lord
Exalted and by all adored
His glory far surpasses heav’n
Who with the Lord our God compares?
He is enthroned above the spheres
He gazes down on earth and heav’n
The woman once deprived of sons
Finds joy among her little ones
To God the Lord your praises render

City of the King
03:12
|
|||
|
Everyone who saw it got his head out of the law
And started weeping there as for an only son
And promises that never fail
Had over hardened wills prevailed
With mercy that had passed over none
Chorus:
Joy for our pain will remain
And we’ll sing
As we go down to the city of the King
Outside of the city on the hillsides there are sitting there
The watchmen of the people of the King
The King has come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Let us find ourselves an offering to bring
A thousand years of peace and every crying eye will cease
The lifted curse will leave us pure as we begun
And if we ever speak of pain
Then to the children we’ll explain
The way it was before the war was won

The Heart of Christ
03:33
|
|||
|
Light of eternity, painter of the skies
Once robed in majesty, he set them aside
For the selfish and the sinner, ruined by their own pride
O how humble, the heart of Christ
Gentle, compassionate, breaking not the bruised
Kindling carefully the life left in fumes
All you weary, heavy laden, there is mercy for you
Come and rest in the heart of Christ
Chorus: There is no Savior like mine
Holy, yet humble and kind
So I leave my heart
Here in the heart of Christ
Often in vanity I have gone astray
Foolishly hungering for pleasure and praise
Though I wander from my Shepherd, still He calls me by name
Come return to the heart of Christ
Lord, let this attitude live in all I do
Serving in lowliness, the cross in my view
Like the Master, loving others is my aim and pursuit
Let my heart be the heart of Christ
|
||||
4. |
||||
|
I was far from home
And further I fled
A slave to the hunger that kills when it’s fed
I was without hope
It was final, I feared
Then your kindness and your mercy appeared
With a gentle hand
You led me to Christ
And planted my spirit by the streams of life
Let my life bear fruit and my mind be renewed
By Your Spirit, with Your mercies in view
Chorus: As Your mercies follow me all of my days
May I live an offering of praise
From a grateful heart, doing all that I do
With your mercies in view
Let my love be real
Without and within
Clinging to goodness and turning from sin
May I serve with zeal
And rejoice with the truth
Living always with Your mercies in view
Soon I’ll stand with those
Who held on to faith
Who fought the good battle and finished the race
But our deeds and crowns
We will cast at Your feet
It’s only mercy that has made us complete

Be Still My Soul
03:15
|
|||
|
Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain
Be still my soul, thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end
Be still, my soul, Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still, my soul, the waves and wind still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below
Be still my soul, the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment grief and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
Be still my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed, we shall meet at last

My Jesus as You Will
04:25
|
|||
|
My Jesus, as You will, O may your will be mine
Into your hand of love I would my all resign
Through sorrow, or through joy, regard me as Your own
And help me still to say, “My Lord, Your will be done”
My Jesus, as You will, though needy here and poor
Give me the Bread of Life, my portion rich and sure
The manna of Your Word let my soul feed upon
And if all else should fail, my Lord, Your will be done
Chorus: No more my life, I lay it down
A sacrifice in view of Yours
With joy, for what in Christ I’ve found
Surpasses every good this fleeting world affords
My Jesus, as You will, though seen through many tears
Let not my sight of hope grow dim or disappear
Since You wept here on earth and sorrowed oft alone
If I must weep with You, my Lord, Your will be done
My Jesus, as You will, all must be well for me
Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee
Straight to my home above I’ll travel calmly on
And sing in life or death, “My Lord, Your will be done”

Sing the Greatness
03:26
|
|||
|
Sing the greatness of our Maker
Hear creation calling us to praise
The mountains rising in His honor
Peals of thunder roaring His acclaim
Every flowing current rushing on
To carry us to grateful song
Sing the greatness of our Maker
Sing aloud the greatness of our God
Sing the goodness of the Father
Who withholds no good thing from our hands
He show’rs His children with His favor
In compassion, hears and understands
For He knows our frame, that we are dust
And leads us into peace and trust
Sing the goodness of the Father
Sing aloud the greatness of our God
Sing the mercy of the Savior
Man of Sorrows, stricken for our sin
The Sovereign, over all, forever
Bruised to crush the foe and bring us in
Without cost or merit, come receive
The riches of His grace and peace
Sing the mercy of the Savior
Sing aloud the greatness of our God
Sing the power of the Spirit
Breathing life to sinners in the grave
His Word, accomplishing His purpose
Pierces soul and spirit like a blade
Come and purge our hearts from every stain
O purify us for Your praise
Sing the power of the Spirit
Sing aloud the greatness of our God

Close to Thee
03:53
|
|||
|
Thou my everlasting portion
More than friend or life to me
All along my pilgrim journey
Savior, let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
All along my pilgrim journey
Savior, let me walk with Thee
Not for ease or worldly treasure
Not for fame my prayer shall be
Gladly will I toil and suffer
Only let me walk with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Gladly will I toil and suffer
Only let me walk with Thee
Lead me through the vale of shadows
Bear me o'er life's fitful sea
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Then the gate of life eternal
May I enter, Lord, with Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
Close to Thee, close to Thee
All along my pilgrim journey
Jesus, let me walk with Thee

Near the Cross
03:32
|
|||
|
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain
Chorus: In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Until my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach that golden strand
Just beyond the river
|

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near
Praise Him in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord, who over all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under His wings, yes, so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen how thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth
Praise to the Lord, who does prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee.
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him
Let the Amen sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore Him.
