The Father's Love - February 27, 2011

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”

Immortal, Invisible - February 20, 2011

Words and Music by Walter Chalmers Smith

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious—Thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.

To all, life Thou givest—to both great and small,
In all life Thou livest—the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish—but naught changeth Thee.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render—O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

Give Thanks - February 6, 2011

Words and Music by Henry Smith

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He’s given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us

Let God Arise - January 30, 2011

Words and Music by Chris Tomlin, Ed Cash, and Jesse Reeves

Hear the holy roar of God resound
Watch the waters part before us now
Come and see what He has done for us
Go tell the world of His great love
Our God is a God who saves
Our God is a God who saves

Let God arise; let God arise
Our God reigns now and forever
He reigns now and forever

And His enemies will run for sure
And the church will stand, she will endure
Well, He holds the keys of life, our Lord
Death has no sting, no final word
Our God is a God who saves
Our God is a God who saves

Enough - January 23, 2011

Words and Music by Louie Giglio and Chris Tomlin

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, You’re everything
Still more awesome than I know

More than all I want, more than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know, more than all I can say
You are more than enough for me

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms - January 16, 2011

Words and Music by Elisha A. Hoffman and Anthony J. Showalter

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness,what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

O, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
O, how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Creation Sings the Father's Song - January 9, 2011

Words and Music by Keith and 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 ‘til 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.
