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
