Thine Is the Glory - August 28, 2011

Words and Music by Edmund L. Budry and George Frederick Handel

Thine is the glory, risen, conqu’ring Son;
Endless is the vict’ry Thou o’er death hast won.
Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
Kept the folded grave-clothes where Thy body lay.

Thine is the glory, risen, conqu’ring Son;
Endless is the vict’ry thou o’er death hast won.

Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
Let His church with gladness hymns of triumph sing,
For her Lord now liveth; death hath lost its sting.

No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of Life!
Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conqu’rors through Thy deathless love;
Bring us safe through Jordan with Thy power and love.

All I Have Is Christ - August 21, 2011

Words and Music by Jordan Kauflin

I once was lost in darkest night, yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own a rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first, I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race, indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed: You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me; now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone and live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands could never come from me
Oh, Father, use my ransomed life in any way You choose
And let my song forever be: my only boast is You

Spirit of God, Descend upon My Heart - July 31, 2011

Words and Music By George Croly and Frederick C. Atkinson

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth, through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.

Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own—soul, heart and strength and mind.
I see Thy cross—there teach my heart to cling;
O let me seek Thee, and O let me find.

Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear—
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame:
The baptism of the heav’n-descended Dove—
My heart an altar and Thy love the flame.

Be Unto Your Name - July 24, 2011

Words and Music by Lynn DeShazo and Gary Sadler

We are a moment, You are forever
Lord of the Ages, God before time
We are a vapor, You are eternal
Love everlasting reigning on high

Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Highest praises, honor, and glory
Be unto Your name
Be unto Your name

We are the broken, You are the healer
Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save
You are the love song we’ll sing forever
Bowing before You blessing Your name

Unchanging - July 10, 2011

Words and Music By Chris Tomlin

Great is Your faithfulness; great is Your faithfulness
You never change, You never fail, O God
True are Your promises; true are Your promises
You never change, You never fail, O God

So we raise up holy hands
To praise the Holy One
Who was and is and is to come

Wide is Your love and grace; wide is Your love and grace
You never change, You never fail, O God

You were, You are, You will always be
You were, You are, You will always be

Stronger - July 3, 2011

Words and Music By Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan

There is love that came for us, humbled to a sinner’s cross.
You broke my shame and sinfulness; You rose again victorious.
Faithfulness none can deny, through the storm and through the fire.
There is truth that sets me free: Jesus Christ who lives in me.

You are stronger! You are stronger!
Sin is broken; You have saved me!
It is written Christ is risen!
Jesus, You are Lord of all!

No beginning and no end, You’re my hope and my defense.
You came to seek and save the lost; You paid it all upon the cross.

My Reward - June 26, 2011

Words and Music By Paul Baloche

I want to hear You say the words to me “Well done”
I want to hear You say “Good and faithful servant”
I want to hear You say “I’ve prepared a place for you”
Let all the treasures of the world fade away

Jesus, You are my reward
To hear Your voice on that day is all I’m living for
Jesus, You are my reward
To see Your face on that day is all I’m living for

In the twinkling of an eye we’ll all be changed
We’ll meet You in the sky
We will see You face to face
