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
