O Little Town of Bethlehem - December 26, 2010

Words and Music by Phillips Brooks and Lewis H. Redner

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heav'n
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in

O holy child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

Who Is He in Yonder Stall? - December 19, 2010

Words and Music by Benjamin R. Hanby

Who is He in yonder stall
At whose feet the shepherds fall?
Who is He in deep distress
Fasting in the wilderness?

'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story!
'Tis the Lord! The King of glory!
At His feet we humbly fall;
Crown Him! Crown Him, Lord of all!

Who is He the people bless
For His words of gentleness?
Who is He to whom they bring
All the sick and sorrowing?

Who is He that stands and weeps
At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
Who is He the gath'ring throng
Greet with loud triumphant song?

Lo! At midnight, who is He
Prays in dark Gethsemane?
Who is He on yonder tree
Dies in grief and agony?

Who is He that from the grave
Comes to heal and help and save?
Who is He that from His throne
Rules through all the world alone?

Joy to the World - December 12, 2010

Words by Isaac Watts

Joy to the world, the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n and nature sing,
And heav'n, and heav'n, and nature sing.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders of His love.

Messiah Has Come - December 5, 2010

Words and Music by Steve Hindalong and Marc Byrd

On this holy night
A candle is burning bright
In Bethlehem.
Peace on earth, good will to men
Hope for sinners.
Love has come: Behold the awaited One!
Draw near as we wait upon
The break of dawn, the rising sun.

Messiah has come;
Let us make room in our hearts.
On this holy night,
Christ has come.

Let us rejoice
For the dark will surrender
To glorious light.
We kneel down in awe
To worship the Son of God--
Born to redeem mankind,
Sweet Child divine,
Sleeping in the straw.

Adore Him in this humble place.
How radiant His face!
The angels fill the sky
With songs of praise.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past - November 28, 2010

Words by Isaac Watts; Music by William Croft

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home.

O Worship the King - November 21, 2010

Words and Music by Robert Grant
Additional Lyrics by Chris Tomlin

O worship the King, all glorious above;
O gratefully sing His wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

You alone are the matchless King;
To You alone be all majesty.
Your glories and wonders, what tongue can recite?
You breathe in the air, You shine in the light.

O measureless might, ineffable love,
While angels delight to worship above;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Awesome Is the Lord Most HIgh - November 14, 2010

Words and Music by Chris Tomlin

Great are You, Lord, mighty in strength
You are faithful; You will ever be
We will praise You all of our days
It's for Your glory we offer everything

Raise your hands all you nations
Shout to God all creation
How awesome is the Lord Most High

Where You send us, God, we will go
You're the answer we want the world to know
We will trust You when You call our name
Where You lead us we'll follow all the way

Raise your hands all you nations
Shout to God all creation
How awesome is the Lord Most High
We will praise You together
Both now and forever
How awesome is the Lord Most High

O Church Arise - November 7, 2010

Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

O Church arise and put your armor 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 valor
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 will 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

Jesus, Priceless Treasure - October 31, 2010

Words by Johann Franck

Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Source of purest pleasure,
Truest Friend to me.
Long my hearth hath planted
'Til it well nigh fainted
Thirsting after Thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide Thee;
There is none beside Thee,
There is none beside Thee.

In Thy strength I rest me;
If Thy arms protect me,
Who can reach me here?
Though the earth be shaking,
Every heart be quaking,
God dispels our fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
With their heaviest storms assail us;
Jesus will not fail us,
Jesus will not fail us.

Banished is our sadness
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er we here must bear
Still in Thee lies purest pleasure;
Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Jesus, priceless Treasure.

You Alone Can Rescue - October 24, 2010

Words and Music by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin

Who, O Lord, could save themselves
Their own soul could heal
Our shame was deeper than the sea
Your grace is deeper still

And You alone can rescue, You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave
You came down to find us, led us out of death
To You alone belongs the highest praise

You, O Lord, have made a way
The great divide You healed
For when our hearts were far away
Your love went further still
Yes, Your love goes further still

How Firm a Foundation - October 17, 2010

Words by John Rippon

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake!

Still, My Soul, Be Still - October 10, 2010

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Still, my soul, be still and do not fear
Though winds of change may rage tomorrow;
God is at your side, no longer dread
The fires of unexpected sorrow.

God, You are my God
And I will trust in You and not be shaken;
Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me
To rest in You alone.

Still, my soul, be still, do not be moved
By lesser lights and fleeting shadows;
Hold on to His ways with shield of faith
Against temptation's flaming arrows.

Still, my soul, be still, do not forsake
The truth you learned in the beginning;
Wait upon the Lord and hope will rise
As stars appear when day is dimming.

My Savior, My God - October 3, 2010

Words and Music by Aaron Shust

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands one who is my Savior.
I take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For Him to be my Savior.
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior.

My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be

Yes, living, dying let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior.
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior.

I Will Praise Him Still - September 26, 2010

Words and Music by Fernando Ortega

When the morning falls on the farthest hill
I will sing His name, I will praise Him still
When dark trials come and my heart is filled
With the weight of doubt, I will praise Him still

For the Lord, our God, He is strong to save
From the arms of death, from the deepest grave

And He gave us life in His perfect will
And by His good grace, I will praise Him still

There Is a Higher Throne - September 19, 2010

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty

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 emerald 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

Still, My Soul, Be Still - September 12, 2010

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Still, my soul, be still and do not fear
Though winds of change may rage tomorrow
God is at your side, no longer dread
The fires of unexpected sorrow

God, You are my God
And I will trust in You and not be shaken
Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me
To rest in You alone

Still, my soul, be still, do not be moved
By lesser lights and fleeting shadows
Hold on to His ways with shield of faith
Against temptation's flaming arrows

Still, my soul, be still, do not forsake
The truth you learned in the beginning
Wait upon the Lord and hope will rise
As stars appear when day is dimming

Sweetly Broken - September 5, 2010

Words and Music by Jeremy Riddle

To the cross I look, to the cross I cling
Of its suffering I do drink, of its work I do sing
For on it my Savior, both bruised and crushed
Showed that God is love, and God is just

At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees
And I am lost for words, so lost in love
I'm sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

What a priceless gift, undeserved life
Have I been given through Christ crucified
You've called me out of death
You've called me into life
And I was under Your wrath
Now through the cross I'm reconciled

In awe of the cross I must confess
How wondrous Your redeeming love
And how great is Your faithfulness

Creation Sings the Father's Song - August 29, 2010

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Creation sings the Father's song
He calls the sun to wake the dawn
And run the course of day
Till ev'ning falls in crimson rays

His fingerprints in flakes of snow
His breath upon this spinning globe
He charts the eagle's flight
Commands the newborn baby's cry

Hallelujah! Let all creation stand and sing
Hallelujah! Fill the earth with songs of worship
Tell the wonders of creation's King

Creation gazed upon His face
The ageless One in time's embrace
Unveiled the Father's plan
Of reconciling God and man

A second Adam walked the earth
Whose blameless life would break the curse
Whose death would set us free
To live with Him eternally

Creation longs for His return
When Christ shall reign upon the earth
The bitter wars that rage
Are birth pains of a coming age

When He renews the land and sky
All heav'n will sing and earth reply
With one resplendent theme--
The glories of our God and King

Ancient Words - August 22, 2010

Words and Music by Lynn DeShazo

Holy words, long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart
O let the ancient words impart

Words of life, words of hope
Give us strength, help us grow
In this world, where're we roam
Ancient words will guide us home

Ancient words, ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
O let the ancient words impart

Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
O heed the faithful words of Christ

Holy words, long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart
O let the ancient words impart

Be Lifted High - August 15, 2010

Words and Music by Leeland Dayton Mooring

Sin and its ways grow old
All of my heart turns to stone
And I'm left with no strength to arise
How You need to be lifted high

Sin and its ways lead to pain
Left here with hurt and with shame
So no longer will I leave Your side
Jesus, You be lifted high

You be lifted high
You be lifted high
You be lifted high in my life, oh God
And I fall to my knees
So it's You that they see, not I
Jesus, You be lifted high

And even now that I'm inside Your hands
Help me not to grow prideful again
Don't let me forsake sacrifice
Jesus, You be lifted high

And if I'm blessed with the riches of kings
How could I ever think that it was me
For You brought me from darkness to light
Jesus, You be lifted high

Your Name - August 8, 2010

Words and Music by Paul Baloche and Glen Packiam

As the morning dawns and evening fades
You inspire songs of grace
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
And glorify Your name

Your name is a strong and mighty tower
Your name is a shelter like no other
Your name, let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your name

Jesus, in Your name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
And glorify Your name

Holy Offering - August 1, 2010

Words and Music by Mark Francis

Who am I, oh God? There is none like You.
How can I stand in Your presence, Lord?
Who am I, oh God? Lord of Hosts You are.
Holy is Your great and glorious name.

Surrounded by Your glory, I am broken and ashamed.
How can I repay the life You gave?
You've raised me up from my disgrace
And You've called me out by name.
How can I deny the love You gave?

Holy Offering, I come, set apart for You;
Take my life into Your hands and do Your will.
Lord, I bow before Your throne,
Undeserving and amazed,
That You've shown to me Your mercy and Your grace.

Jesus Paid it All - July 25, 2010

Words and music by Elvina Hall

I hear the Savior say,
"Thy strength indeed is small.
Child of weakness, watch and pray;
Find in me thine all in all."

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain;
He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone.

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save"
My lips shall still repeat.

How Deep the Father's Love for Us - July 18, 2010

Words and Music by Stuart Townend

How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart: His wouneds have paid my ransom

What a Savior - July 11, 2010

Words and Music by Philip Bliss and Devon Kauflin

Man of Sorrows, what a name
For the Son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah
Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned He stood
Sealed my pardon with His blood
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Savior, You showed Your love
Defeated our sin
Poured out Your blood
So we praise You, Lamb that was slain
We offer our lives to proclaim:
"What a Savior!"

Guilty, vile, and helpless we
Spotless Lamb of God was He
Full atonement, can it be?
Hallelujah
Lifted up was He to die
"It is finished" was His cry
Now in heav'n exalted high
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When He comes, our glorious King
All His ransomed home to bring
Then anew this song we'll sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Before the Throne of God Above - June 27, 2010

Words and Music by Charitie Less Bancroft

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heav'n He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of Glory and of Grace
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is His with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God

Happy Day - June 20, 2010

Words and Music by Tim Hughes

The greatest day in history
Death is beaten, You have rescued me.
Sing it out: Jesus is alive!
The empty cross, the empty grave
Life eternal, You have won the day.
Shout it out: Jesus is alive--He's alive!

Oh, happy day, happy day!
You washed my sins away.
Oh, happy day, happy day!
I'll never be the same;
Forever I am changed.

When I stand in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face,
I am yours, Jesus, You are mine.
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease.
Celebrate: Jesus is alive--He's alive!

Oh, what a glorious day, what a glorious way
That You have save me.
Oh, what a glorious day, what a glorious name!

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing - June 13, 2010

Words by Robert Robinson; Music by Asahel Nettleton

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise His name, I'm fixed upon it, name of God's redeeming love.

Hither to Thy love has blessed me; Thou hast brought me to this place;
And I know Thy hand will bring me safely home by Thy good grace;
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger, bought me with His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee;
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above.

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty - June 6, 2010

Words and Music by Joachim Neander

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
Join me in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord, Who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under His wings, yes, so gently sustaineth
Hast thou not seen how all thy longings have been
Granted in what He ordaineth

Praise to the Lord, Who doth 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

The Praise of His Glory - May 30, 2010

Words and Music by Mark Francis, Mike Lukens, and Sandor Oslund

The Word of Truth, the hope in Him: the praise of His glory
The perfect plan, the Son given: the praise of His glory
The seal of grace, the promised Spirit: the praise of His glory
That is why we worship You

Glorious Father, it's You we proclaim
It's by the work of Your Son
That we're drawn into this place

Matchless gift, received by faith: the praise of His glory
Placed in Christ through the cross: the praise of His glory
Fills everything in every way: the praise of His glory
That is why we worship You

Glorious Father, it's You we proclaim
It's by the work of Your Son
That we're drawn into this place
Glorious Father, it's You we adore
Let Your will be done in us
As Your instruments of praise

The Son lived
The Son died
The Son rose
Now I'm alive

Let Your Kingdom Come - May 23, 2010

Words and Music by Bob Kauflin

Your glorious cause, O God, engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves but for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray Your kingdom come

Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done
So that everyone might know Your name
Let Your song be heard everywhere on earth
'Til Your sovereign work on earth is done
Let Your kingdom come

Give us strength, O God, and courage to speak
Perform Your wondrous deeds through those who are weak
Lord, use us as You want, whatever the test
By grace we'll preach Your gospel 'til our dying breath

The Revelation Song - May 16, 2010

Words and Music by Jenni Lee Riddle

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is He
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and glory
And power be to You
The only wise King

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your Name
Jesus, Your name is power
Breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery

Rock of Ages and The Solid Rock - May 9, 2010

Rock of Ages
Words and Music by Rita Baloche

There is no rock; there is no god like our God
No other name worthy of all our praise
The rock of salvation that cannot be moved
He's proven Himself to be faithful and true
There is no rock; there is no god like ours

Rock of ages, Jesus is the rock
Rock of ages, Jesus is the rock
Rock of ages, Jesus is the rock
There is no rock; there is no god like ours

The Solid Rock
Words by Edward Mote

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In ev'ry high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God - May 2, 2010

Words and Music by Martin Luther

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

O, Church, arise and put your armor 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 cries
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 valor
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 will 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

Be Thou My Vision - April 18, 2010

Words and Music by Mary E. Byrne

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art--
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Words and Music by Stephen Altrogge

Let us join with the angel voices
Let us join their happy song
All of heaven and earth rejoices
For the Lamb of God has come
He has come to rescue sinners
Come to meet our desperate need
He was born to bring forgiveness
Born for Calvary

Alleluia! Hope has come
Alleluia! Christ has come
We once were slaves in misery
'Til You appeared and set us free
Alleluia! Hope has come

Let us lay our gifts before Him
Let us magnify His name
With thankful hearts, adore Him
For the Lord has come to save
He has come to break sin's power
He has come to set us free
Hope was born that glorious hour
Christ, the mighty King

No weapon that's fashioned against us will stand
The battle belongs to the Lord

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord
We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord

When the power of darkness comes in like a flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raise up a standard, the pow'r of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord
We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord

The Father's Love - March 21, 2010

Words and Music by Joel Sczebel

How has the sinner been forgiven
How has the rebel been made clean
Or blinded eyes been made to see
How have the orphans been adopted
Who hated Your love and ran from grace
Despised and rejected all Your ways

How wonderful the Father's love
The Father's love for us
That He would send His only Son
To come and rescue us
He has saved us, called us blameless
Guides us now and will sustain us
Oh, how wonderful the Father's love

Your mercy floods our lives with kindness
Your grace has colored all we see
and You have promised not to leave
You freely give Your Spirit to us
So we can be sure we're sons of God
And rest in the hope of what's to come

Though sufferings may fill our lives
We're confident we're heirs with Christ
And so we cry, "Abba, Father"

Days of Elijah - March 14, 2010

Words and Music by Robin Mark

These are the days of Elijah, declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses, righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials, of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying, "Prepare ye the way of the Lord"

Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call
So lift your voice, it's the year of jubilee
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes

These are the days of Ezekiel, the dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant David, rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest, the fields are as white in the world
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard declaring the Word of the Lord

There's no god like Jehovah, there's no god like Jehovah
There's no god like Jehovah, there's no god like Jehovah

He Is Lord - March 7, 2010

Words and Music by Ben Fielding

Oh, blessed Lamb once slain will reign forevermore
His hands, once bound, now save
Our God will never fail

He is Lord, He is Lord
Sings my soul, He is the Lord
And He lives, yes, He lives
I'm alive 'cause Jesus lives

'Tis at the cross of Christ where earth and heaven meet
Where sin is overcome
To God the victory

And now let the earth resound with praise
For our Savior God, He reigns
He is high and lifted up
Arise, for the King of glory waits
He is coming back again
He is coming back again

Let Your Kingdom Come - February 28, 2010

Words and Music by Bob Kauflin

Your glorious cause, O God, engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves but for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray Your Kingdom come

Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done
So that everyone might know Your name
Let Your song be heard everywhere on earth
'Til Your sovereign work on earth is done
Let Your kingdom come

Give us Your strength, O God, and courage to speak
Perform Your wondrous deeds through those who are weak
Lord, use us as You want, whatever the test
By grace we'll preach Your gospel 'til our dying breath

Come People of the Risen King - February 21, 2010

Words and music by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Come, people of the risen King who delight to bring Him praise
Come all and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace
From the shifting shadows of the earth, we will lift our eyes to Him
Where steady arms of mercy reach to gather children in

Rejoice, rejoice, let every tongue rejoice
One heart, one voice
O church of Christ, rejoice

Come those whose joy is morning sun and those weeping through the night
Come those who tell of battles won and those struggling in the fight
For His perfect love will never change and His mercies never cease
But follow us through all our days with the certain hope of peace

Come young and old from every land, men and women of the faith
Come those with full or empty hands, find the riches of His grace
Over all the world His people sing, shore to shore we hear them call
The Truth that cries through every age, "Our God is all in all."

Behold the Lamb (Communion Hymn) - February 14, 2010

Words and music by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend

Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for us
And we remember the promise made
That all who come in faith find forgiveness at the cross
So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of peace around the table of the King

The body of our Savior Jesus Christ, torn for you
Eat and remember the wounds that heal
The death that brings us life paid the price to make us one
So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love around the table of the King

The blodd that cleanses ev'ry stain of sin, shed for you
Drink and remember he drained death's cup
That all may enter in to receive the life of God
So we share in this bread of life, and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of grace around the table of the King

And so with thankfulness and faith we rise to respond
And to remember our call to follow
In the steps of Christ as His body here on earth
As we share in His suffering, we proclaim Christ will come again
And we'll join in the feast of heav'n around the table of the King

By Faith - January 31, 2010

Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty & Stuart Townend

By faith we see the hand of God

In the light of creation's grand design

In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness

Who walk by faith and not by sight

By faith our fathers roamed the earth

With the power of His promise in their hearts

Of a holy city built by God's own hand

A place where peace and justice reign

We will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward

Till the race is finished and the work is done

We'll walk by faith and not by sight

By faith the prophets saw a day

When the longed-for Messiah would appear

With the power to break the chains of sin and death

And rise triumphant from the grave

By faith the church was called to go

In the power of the Spirit to the lost

To deliver captives and to preach good news

In every corner of the earth

We will stand...

By faith this mountain shall be moved

And the power of the gospel shall prevail

For we know in Christ all things are possible

For all who call upon His name

We will stand...
