Wonderful One
04:43
|
|||
Blessed be the God who sees and hears
Who made the seeing eye and hearing ear
He listens for my whispers and captures all my tears
Blessed be the God who sees and hears
Blessed is the Lord who healeth me
Who takes my sickness and infirmity
He glorifies my body to share eternity
Blessed is the God who healeth me
Alleluia, Alleluia
Let the breath that You have given
Return to You in praise
Inspire us to give thanks to You
As holy hands we raise
Wonderful wonderful One
Thank You for all You have done
Wonderful wonderful One
Thank You for all You have done
Blessed is the God of first and last
Who knows my future better than my past
The Alpha and Omega that time cannot surpass
Blessed is the God of first and last

Lord How Long
04:59
|
|||
Lord, how long? Lord, how long?
Will You always hide Your face from me?
In the silence of the darkness
And the anguish of my destiny
How long must I wrestle?
How long must raise my voice?
Wasting away my breath, dreading the day of death
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Lord, how long? Is it wrong
To want a glimmer so that I can see
Give an answer, any answer
Have you forgotten what you promised me?
How long must I wrestle?
How long must I raise my voice?
Rolling my eyes to and fro,
Wondering why You move so slowly when You know
My heart is melting away
Be a light for my eyes are dim
And my enemy is saying, "I have overcome him"
And my foes will rejoice when I fall
But I trust in Your salvation
I remember all You've done for me
I recall all Your thoughts unto me

I Cry Out Loud
04:40
|
|||
I lift my voice to the Lord for mercy, for mercy
I drain my heart of cares when my soul grows faint within me
They have laid a snare in my path but You hold all my ways
I cry out loud to the Lord, to the Lord
Look to my left and right and see no one is concerned for me
I have no comfort here on the earth, is there no one to care?
You, O Lord, are my only hope in this land of the living
I cry out loud to the Lord, to the Lord
There are those who now pursue me
And I know that they are stronger than me
Give me freedom from this prison
That I may praise You, that I may praise Your name
Praise Your name
I cry out loud to the Lord, to the Lord

Morning Song
03:05
|
|||
Darkness take warning there's mercy each morning
It comes with the dawn and it scatters the night
The dew of temptation and man's condemnation
Will never prevail in the heat of that light
Sweet celebration this manifestation
That cleanses our souls as it shines on our way
In it we trust for the path of the just
Will grow brighter and brighter until the full day
Sing, sing, sing of His righteousness
Sing, sing of His glory and grace
Sing, sing, sing of His love that pours down from above like the sun on our face
Look to the skies let the ears of your eyes
Hear the heavens declaring the glory of Him
Wondrous Creator and Wonderful Savior
The Giver of life and Forgiver of sin
Darkness take warning there's joy in the morning
It comes with the dawn and it shines on the dew
And burns off temptation and man's condemnation
My lips will rejoice when I sing about You

I Lay My Sins on Jesus
04:40
|
|||
I lay my sins on Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us from the accursèd load;
I bring my guilt to Jesus, for Him to wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious, till not a spot remains
I lay my wants on Jesus; all fullness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem:
I lay my griefs on Jesus, distress, despairs and all my cares;
He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares.
I long to be like Jesus, meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus, the Father’s holy Child:
I long to be with Jesus, to move among the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises, to learn the angels’ song.

Give the Glory
03:51
|
|||
I have decided to give up my life to You
I thought it over and that's what I want to do
Not for what I can get but what I can give
You died for me now for You I will choose to live
I have determined to give up my life at the cross
All I have gained up to now I consider loss
I'll bear rebuke, I'll bear shame just to walk with You
Because I see what awaits when I make it through
I'll give the glory to Jesus
I'll give the glory to Jesus
I'll give the glory to Jesus with my life
I'll give the glory to Jesus and when I die
I'll live forever to give up my life to You
Lord give me strength to go forth and to fight with You
My life is Yours I will do what You want me to
I'll lay my life down for those who are not yet free
And when the battle gives way and there's victory

Be It Far from Me
05:11
|
|||
If it’s not Your will, be it far from me
May Your perfect plan be my destiny
May I never cloud Your guiding light
When I hear You call, may I not take flight
May I in some way Your Kingdom spread
May a word of love never be unsaid
May the joy of Christ exceed my trials
May my will and Thine be reconciled
May your perfect plan be my destiny
If it’s not Your will I will not proceed
Be it far from me, be it far from me, be it far from me
As I travel forth on the sea of life
May the peace of God conquer all my strife
Keep my eyes away from the doubtful sight
May my lips be guarded from all spite
When the foe seems strong and I suffer shame
Give me grace to boldly speak Your name
When I’ve no more use for this earthly place
May my joy be full when I see Your face

lyrics
Blessed are the poor in spirit
They have a home, the Kingdom of God
Blessed is the grieving soul
Laughter will come, joy of the children
You are the light of the world
Shining brightly, never be hidden
You are the salt of the earth
Salt that never looses its savor
There is darkness cloaking the land
But the darkness fears the light
Leap for joy for glory chases the night
Blessed are the meek and merciful
Theirs is the earth, they will see mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart
Leaping for joy, they will see God
You with your hungering soul
In your hunger you will be fed
Yearning and thirsting now
In your thirsting you will be led
There is darkness cloaking the land
But the darkness fears the night
Leap for joy for glory chases the night
Peacemakers, songs of God
Pure in heart, singing God
Now they may persecute
And they may insult you
Many will turn away
They do it to me

lyrics
Weeping may endure for the night, but the joy comes in the morning
Darkness may seem stronger than light but the joy comes in the morning
Tears, they may last all night long, but there's a new dawn breaking
He comes with healing in His wings - hope for those forsaken
Weeping may endure for the night, but the joy comes in the morning
Time for sleeping after the fight, 'cause the joy comes in the morning
He set His face like flint to go, to face the scorn and laughter
He knew the lonely night of death would lead to joy thereafter
This poor man cried out to You in pain and desperation
You heard and delivered me of all my tribulation
Weeping may endure for the night, but the joy comes in the morning
Darkness may seem stronger than light but the joy comes in the morning

I Want to Be Your Friend
02:58
|
|||
I want to be Your friend
I want to be so close to You
I want to be the kind You can tell your secrets to
I want to be Your friend
I want to be Your Abraham
And when You call I'll say, "Here I am"
I want to be Your friend
I want to be like Moses
I want to see You with my eye
Give me a rock, let me hide myself
As Your glory goes by
I want to be Your friend
You who have shed Your blood for me
You who were friendless on Calvary
I want to be Your friend
I want to be like David
I want to dance before You, Lord
I want to hear, "Well done, my son,
Enter in your reward"

Praise the Lord, I
06:15
|
|||
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let the angels praise with me
As I sing of all the things He has done
Praise His name, praise His name
All the Elders praise His name
We will sing of all the things He has done
He has done
He is wonderful, He is marvelous
He is everything we knew that He would be
And he's glorious, ever near to us
In every situation, He's always my salvation
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord
Let the angels praise the Lord
Well we see through glass, and we know in part
I can sometimes see through my Master's heart
And I leave behind this weak terrain
And join all creation in their heavenly refrain
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Let all people praise the Lord
I will sing of all the things He has done
We'll sing of all the things He has done

Praise the Lord, II
04:45
|
|||
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Praise the Holy One
Sing with me as I thank Him
For the things He's done
All you elders 'round the throne
Lift your voice with me
For He is everything that we knew He'd be
That we knew He'd be
On this earth we see through glass
Only know in part
But sometimes my eyes are clear
I see my Master's heart
There are times He touches me
I see past this terrain
Lift my voice with every tongue in their glad refrain
In their glad refrain
All you elders sitting 'round the throne
Won't you tell me what you see?
I packed my harp and I'll be there soon
And you can praise the Lord me
My eyes were veiled down there on the earth
But the Lord has made me see
There's no tomorrow and there's no yesterday
It's time to praise His name with me
