You're the Word of God the Father (Across The Lands)

You're the Word of God the Father
From before the world began
Ev'ry star and ev'ry planet
Has been fashioned by Your hand
All creation holds together
By the power of Your voice
Let the skies declare Your glory
Let the land and seas rejoice!

You're the Author of creation
You're the Lord of ev'ry man
And Your cry of love rings out 
Across the lands

Yet You left the gaze of angels
Came to seek and save the lost
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross
With a prayer You fed the hungry
With a word You calmed the sea
Yet how silently You suffered
That the guilty may go free!

You're the Author of creation
You're the Lord of ev'ry man
And Your cry of love rings out 
Across the lands

With a shout You rose victorious
Wresting vict'ry from the grave
And ascended into heaven
Leading captives in Your way
Now You stand before the Father
Interceding for Your own
From each tribe and tongue and nation
You are leading sinners home!

// You're the Author of creation
You're the Lord of ev'ry man
And Your cry of love rings out 
Across the lands //

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross (alternative melody by Kathryn Scott)

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Forbid it Lord that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood

See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul
Demands my soul
Love demands my soul
My life my all

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

See from His head, His hands, His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Oh, the wonderful cross
Oh, the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live
Oh, the wonderful cross
Oh, the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace, draw near
And bless Your Name

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an off'ring far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

// Oh, the wonderful cross
Oh, the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live
Oh, the wonderful cross
Oh, the wonderful cross
All who gather here by grace, draw near
And bless Your Name //

There Is A Hope

There is a hope that burns within my heart,
That gives me strength for every passing day;
A glimpse of glory now revealed in meagre part,
Yet drives all doubt away:

I stand in Christ, with sins forgiven;
And Christ in me, the hope of heaven!
My highest calling and my deepest joy,
To make His will my home.

There is a hope that lifts my weary head,
A consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me 
in its deepest pit,
I find the Saviour there!

Through present sufferings, future’s fear,
He whispers ‘courage’ in my ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home.

There is a hope that stands the test of time,
That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave,
To see the matchless beauty of a day divine
When I behold His face!

When sufferings cease and sorrows die,
And every longing satisfied.
Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,
For I am truly home.

There Is A Higher Throne

There is a higher throne
Than all this world has known,
Where faithful ones from ev'ry tongue
Will one day come.
Before the Son we'll stand,
Made faultless through the Lamb;
Believing hearts find promised grace—
Salvation comes.

Hear heaven's voices sing;
Their thund'rous anthem rings
Through em'rald courts and sapphire skies.
Their praises rise.
All glory, wisdom, pow'r,
Strength, thanks, and honor are
To God our King, who reigns on high
Forevermore.

And there we'll find our home,
Our life before the throne;
We'll honor Him in perfect song
Where we belong.
He'll wipe each tear-stained eye
As thirst and hunger die.
The Lamb becomes our Shepherd King;
We'll reign with Him.

// Hear heaven's voices sing;
Their thund'rous anthem rings
Through em'rald courts and sapphire skies.
Their praises rise.
All glory, wisdom, pow'r,
Strength, thanks, and honor are
To God our King, who reigns on high
Forevermore. //

Then Came The Morning

They all walked away
With nothing to say
They'd just lost their dearest friend
All that He said
Now He was dead
So this was the way it would end

The dreams they had dreamed
Were not what they'd seemed
Now that He was dead and gone
The garden, the jail
The hammer, the nail
How could a night be so long

The angel, the star
The kings from afar
The wedding, the water , the wine
Now it was done
They'd taken her son
Wasted before His time

She knew it was true
She'd watched Him die too
She'd heard then call Him just a man
But deep in her heart
She knew from the start
Somehow her Son would live again

// Then came the morning
Night turned into day
The stone was rolled away 
Hope rose with the dawn
Then came the morning
Shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and Life had won
For morning had come //

Death had lost and Life had won
For morning had come!

The Power Of The Cross (Oh, To See The Dawn)

Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest day
Christ on the road to Calvary
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood

This, the pow'r of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath —
We stand forgiven at the cross

Oh, to see the pain written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
Ev'ry bitter thought, ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

This, the pow'r of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath —
We stand forgiven at the cross

Now the daylight flees; now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.

This, the pow'r of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath —
We stand forgiven at the cross

Oh, to see my name written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death; life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.

// This, the pow'r of the cross:
Son of God — slain for us
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross //

The Lord's My Shepherd (Psalm 23)

The Lord's my shepherd, I’ll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still, still waters
His goodness restores my soul

And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home

He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup, it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights

And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home

And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the evil one
For You are with me, and Your rod and staff
Are comfort I need to know

And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home

Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
it must not suffer loss.
From victory unto victory
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
and Christ is Lord indeed.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
in this His glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve Him
against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls or danger,
be never wanting there.

Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
This day the noise of battle,
the next the victor’s song.
To those who vanquish evil
a crown of life shall be;
They with the King of Glory
shall reign eternally.

Speak, O Lord

Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.

Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow'r that can never fail—
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity.
// And by grace we'll stand on Your promises,
And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory. //

Salvation’s Song

Loved before the dawn of time,
Chosen by my Maker,
Hidden in my Saviour:
I am His and He is mine,
Cherished for eternity.

When I'm stained with guilt and sin,
He is there to lift me,
Heal me and forgive me;
Gives me strength to stand again,
Stronger than I was before.

So with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to Christ alone.

All the chains of Satan's curse
Lifted through His offering,
Satisfied through suffering;
All the blessings He deserves
Poured on my unworthy soul.

So with every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to Christ alone.

Singing glory, honour, wisdom, power
To the Lamb upon the throne.
Hallelujah, I will lift Him high.
Singing glory, honour, wisdom, power
To the Lamb upon the throne.
Hallelujah I will sing

With every breath that I am given
I will sing salvation's song;
And I'll join the chorus of creation
Giving praise to Christ alone.

Stars will fade and mountains fall;
Christ will shine forever,
Love's unfading splendour.
Earth and heav'n will bow in awe,
Joining in salvation's song.

O The Deep Deep Love Of Jesus

O the deep deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured boundless free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of Thy love
Leading onward leading homeward
To Your glorious rest above

O the deep, deep love, all I need and trust
Is the deep deep love of Jesus

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How He came to pay our ransom
Through the saving cross He bore
How He watches o’er His loved ones
Those He died to make His own
How for them He’s interceding,
Pleading now before the throne

O the deep, deep love, all I need and trust
Is the deep deep love of Jesus

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Far surpassing all the rest
It’s an ocean full of blessing
In the midst of ev’ry test
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Mighty Savior precious friend
You will bring us home to glory
Where Your love will never end

O the deep, deep love, all I need and trust
Is the deep deep love of Jesus

O The Deep, Deep Love Of Jesus

O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean
in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me,
is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
to Thy glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth,
changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones,
died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth,
watcheth o’er them from the throne

O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
love of every love the best!
’Tis an ocean full of blessing,
’tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
’tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory,
for it lifts me up to Thee!

O Come Let Us Adore Him

/// O come let us adore Him ///
Christ the Lord

/// For You alone are worthy ///
Christ the Lord

/// We'll give You all the glory ///
Christ the Lord

O Church Arise

O Church, arise, and put your armour on;

Hear the call of Christ our Captain.

For now the weak can say that they are strong

In the strength that God has given.

With shield of faith and belt of truth,

We'll stand against the devil's lies;

An army bold, whose battle-cry is Love,

Reaching out to those in darkness.

Our call to war, to love the captive soul

But to rage against the captor;

And with the sword that makes the wounded whole,

We will fight with faith and valour.

When faced with trials on every side

We know the outcome is secure,

And Christ will have the prize for which He died,

An inheritance of nations.

Come see the cross, where love and mercy meet,

As the Son of God is stricken;

Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,

For the Conqueror has risen!

And as the stone is rolled away,

And Christ emerges from the grave,

This victory march continues till the day

Every eye and heart shall see Him.

So Spirit, come put strength in every stride,

Give grace for every hurdle,

That we may run with faith to win the prize

Of a servant good and faithful.

As saints of old still line the way,

Retelling triumphs of His grace,

We hear their calls and hunger for the day

When with Christ we stand in glory.

Nothing But The Blood

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Never Cease To Praise

May we run this race, may we keep the faith
May our eyes be fixed on Jesus
That we'll not lose heart in our struggle with sin
And through suffering know endurance
May we arm ourselves with the mind of Christ
To rejoice in trials and be not surprised
May our hearts be so consumed by You
That we never cease to praise

May our company be the saints You've called
May we all stand firm in one spirit
That the gospel's truth may resound on earth
That all living things may hear it
May the fruits of faith mark the path we trod
Through the life of Christ, to the glory of God
May our hearts be so consumed by You
That we never cease to praise

May the words we share be Your grace and peace
May our tongues speak Your proclamations
That the many parts of the body of Christ
Be affirmed in their right relation
As we long and wait for the groom to come
May we learn to love, and spur each other on
May our hearts be so consumed by You
That we never cease to praise

When that day arrives, and the race is won
When our griefs give way to deliverance
We will fully know, as we're fully known
All our groans will end as new songs begin
And a multitude from every tribe and tongue
Wearing robes of white, will stand before Your throne
// May our hearts be so consumed by You
That we never cease to praise //

May The Peace Of God

May the peace of God, our heav'nly Father,
And the grace of Christ, the risen Son,
And the fellowship of God the Spirit
Keep our hearts and minds within His love.

And to Him be praise for His glorious reign; 
From the depths of earth to the heights of heaven 
We declare the name of the Lamb once slain— 
Christ eternal, the King of Kings. 

May this peace which passes understanding,
And this grace which makes us what we are,
And this fellowship of His communion,
Make us one in spirit and in heart.

// And to Him be praise for His glorious reign; 
From the depths of earth to the heights of heaven 
We declare the name of the Lamb once slain— 
Christ eternal, the King of Kings. //

Joy Has Dawned

Joy has dawned upon the world
Promised from creation
God's salvation now unfurled
Hope for every nation
Not with fanfares from above
Not with scenes of glory
But a humble gift of love
Jesus born of Mary

Sounds of wonder fill the sky
With the songs of angels
As the mighty Prince of Life
Shelters in a stable
Hands that set each star in place
Shaped the earth in darkness
Cling now to a mother's breast
Vulnerable and helpless

Shepherds bow before the Lamb
Gazing at the glory
Gifts of men from distant lands
Prophesy the story
Gold a King is born today
Incense God is with us
Myrrh His death will make a way
And by His blood He'll win us

Son of Adam, Son of heaven
Given as a ransom
Reconciling God and man
Christ our mighty Champion!
// What a Saviour, what a Friend
What a glorious mystery
Once a babe in Bethlehem
Now the Lord of history //
