Lift Up Your Eyes
03:44
|

|
Lift up your eyes, set not your mind
On all the world runs after
The things they crave, their empty praise
Quickly vanish like a mist
With nothing we began this life
With nothing we will leave it
Except the souls that Christ made whole
With His precious, healing blood
Lift up your eyes beyond the skies
To where your Savior’s seated
Your life which once was found below
Now is hidden there in Him
Where myriads of angels praise
With righteous saints made perfect
In joy and peace that never cease
Flowing from the throne of God
O lift up your eyes, every treasure below
Is as nothing next to knowing the Savior
O lift up your eyes, make His kingdom your home
Your ambition, just to hear the words “well done”
Lift up Your tearful, weary eyes
This world is not your harbor
Each heavy plight is truly light
When compared to heaven’s gold
Cast off the weight of worldliness
And follow with endurance
He, who for us, endured the cross
Looking to the great reward
(Chorus)
Your life which once was found below
Now is hidden there in Him

Purify My Heart
04:00
|
|||
|
Weary of my selfish craving
Leading just to strife and shame
From my own heart’s deceit
Deliver me, gracious Savior
Weary of the world’s illusions
Luring me with empty claims
When true delight is known
In You alone, Holy Father
Chorus: Purify my heart, change my wicked ways
Fill each thought with your truth
Every breath with praise
Unify my heart, make my purpose plain
More of Christ, less of me
For the glory due His name
In the garden, hear the Savior
Even in his grief, He cries
“Let not My will be done,
But Yours alone, O My Father”
Let me be that meek and willing
Sin and self to lay aside
And as a lowly slave
Devote my days to Your glory
(Chorus)
Have Your own way, Lord
Have Your own way
You are the potter, I am the clay
(Chorus)

Christ For Us
04:23
|
|||
|
Christ, for us, became a mortal man
In this world of darkness to descend
As a Man of Sorrows
To behold our woes
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us
Christ, for us, fulfilled the holy Law
Bore the crushing burden for us all
Every thought and motive
Every work complete
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us
Chorus:
Let His praise ring out
In the congregation
On the lips of every sinner bought by blood
With our lives laid down
As a grateful offering
To the King who ever lives for us
Christ, for us, was hung upon a cross
Paid for our redemption, what a cost
See his body broken
See his blood poured out
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us
Christ, for us, was laid within a tomb
But the Light was greater than the gloom
He arose victorious
To immortal life
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us
Christ, for us, now stands before the throne
Pleading with the Father for His own
Till the final trumpet
He will keep our souls
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us
Christ, for us, will one day come again
In this world of darkness he’ll descend
For his foes, in conquest
For his bride, in love
So we sing, this our hope: Christ for us

He Leadeth Me
03:26
|
|||
|
He leadeth me, O blessed thought
O words with heavenly comfort fraught
Whate'er I do where'er I be
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me
Chorus: He leadeth me, He leadeth me
By His own hand He leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
For by His hand He leadeth me
Lord I would place my hand in Thine
Nor ever murmur nor repine
Content whatever lot I see
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me
And when my task on earth is done
When by Thy grace the victory's won
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee
Since God through Jordan leadeth me

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress
'Midst flaming worlds in these arrayed
With joy shall I lift up my head
Bold shall I stand in Thy great day
Who unto me a charge can lay?
Fully absolved through these I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame
Lord I believe Thy precious blood
Which at the mercy seat of God
Forever doth for sinners plead
For me, e'en for my soul, was shed
