Words Of Life
03:38
|
|||
Verse 1:
In the darkest of my sorrows;
In the longest sleepless night,
When my plans are left in ruins
With no trace of hope in sight;
If the pain seems never-ending
And I'm left here all alone;
Still I will praise You.
Where else could I go?
Chorus:
You have the words of life, Lord;
You give me strength to stand.
You know me in my weakness
And hold me safe in your hands.
You are the Word of Life, Lord;
Help me to trust your ways.
Quiet my anxious heart and
Walk with me all my days.
Verse 2:
When I'm tired and uncertain
and the walls are closing in;
When I'm faced up to my failures
and I need to start again.
If there is no easy answer
And the future is unknown;
Still I will praise You.
Where else could I go?

Hope Arise

|

Verse 1:
Listen to my prayer, O God
Hear my cry and answer me.
I'm troubled by my anxious thoughts
Overwhelmed by fear of what could be
But I know that my Redeemer lives
I know that you are faithful.
Chorus:
Hope arise, let hope arise;
Fan the flame of faith in me.
Split the dark with your heavenly light
So I can glimpse eternity.
Verse 2:
Father, will you lift my head,
Loving God, deliver me.
I'm tired from this desperate fight,
Longing for your hand to rescue me.
I cast my cares on you, my Rock
For you are my sustainer.
Bridge:
You promise beauty from these ashes,
Diamonds in the dust,
Treasure in the darkness, so I will dare to trust.
There is hope here for the hopeless,
Strength when I am weak.
Father, in your mercy, give me eyes to see

Refuge

Verse 1:
Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you.
In perfect faithfulness
You’ve done wonderful things,
The people will praise you,
Cities revere you.
You’re preparing a feast for all peoples.
Chorus:
You are a refuge for the poor;
A shelter from the storm.
You’re shade in the desert,
Light in the darkness,
Conquerer of death.
You will wipe our tears away
And cast out our disgrace.
We’ll say “This is the Lord,
We trust in him.”
Verse 2:
Lord, you are our God;
We will exalt you.
In perfect faithfulness
You’ve done wonderful things,
The people will praise you,
Cities revere you.
You’re preparing a feast for all peoples.
Bridge:
You are the Lord, we trust in you.
We will rejoice in your salvation.
Hope of the world, King of all kings
No other power shall stand (x2)

Have Mercy
03:14
|
|||
Have mercy, Lord
You are my redeemer.
Forgive me, Lord
Do not turn away.
For You know the sin within my heart.
There’s nothing I could hide.
I turn to You, my Lord.
Release me, Lord
From the chains I cling to
And free me from
The guilt that bows my head.
Put a new song in my heart, my God
And I will sing to You.
I turn to You, my Lord.
Holy One,
Hear my prayer.
Holy Spirit, come
As I draw near.
Restore me, Lord.
Heal the pain within me
And wash me, Lord,
For then I shall be clean.
I will seek Your holy face, my God.
Your Spirit guides my way.
I turn to You, my Lord.

Verse 1:
I'm waiting for the dawn,
Longing for this night to end.
My dreams have turned to dust;
Will I find my way again?
I'm broken on this battleground,
But still I choose to fight.
How long before my rescue comes?
Chorus:
This I know - Father, You love me.
You are good and You care for me.
You're my song in the night,
The strength of my life
And my future's safe in Your hands.
Verse 2:
I'm looking for a ray of hope
Not sure I'll see the sun.
The darkness that surrounds
Hides the distance that I've run.
It feels like I've been standing still,
But I still choose to stand.
How long before my rescue comes?
Bridge:
You are faithful, never-changing;
Slow to anger and rich in love.
I'm surrounded by your mercies
Strength will rise as I wait on You

Music In The Madness
02:41
|
|||
There is music in the madness
Wonder in the chaos of life
There's treasure in the darkness
The last page of the story turns out right
Better days are coming
But not without a price
When the tunnel feels too long
Keep on heading for the light
There are flowers in the desert
Beauty through the pain of the birth
In the night we may be weeping
But joy comes in the morning I've learned
Better days are coming
But not without a fight
When the tunnel feels too long
Keep on heading for the light
When I don't understand
When I can't see the plan
I choose to hope
I choose to hope

Come To The River
03:30
|
|||
Come to the river,
Go ever deeper,
Run to the river,
The river of God
Come to the fountain
Of life-giving water
Rest at the fountain
The fountain of God
Come thirsty soul,
Know and be known.
Drink your fill and be satisfied.
Come to the ocean
Of love and mercy.
Swim in the ocean,
The ocean of God
Come weary soul,
Come find home
In warmth of the Father's arms
All who are restless,
All who are seeking.
Swim in the ocean,
Rest at the fountain,
Run to the river,
The river of God

Verse 1:
You know I'm weary, Lord; It's hard to lift my head,
Harder to understand your plan or see the road ahead.
But still I trust you Lord, Trust in your faithfulness.
So I will wait for you And hold on to your promises.
Pre-chorus:
Though I walk in pain and tears
and my strength is low
Deep down inside my heart I know
Chorus:
You're with me in the waiting,
Until my waiting ends.
I choose to praise; I choose to hope,
Choose to believe again.
Verse 2:
You know my struggles, Lord. I’ve got to see this through.
Even if nothing changes I remain In awe of you.
Yes I believe, my God; Please help my unbelief.
Help me to see the many ways That you’re sustaining me.
Mid-eight:
However long I wait, I never wait alone.
There’s nowhere I can hide from your love.
Your comfort and your strength
Surrounds me in this storm.
You hear me, Lord.

Hope Is Here
04:15
|
|||
Verse 1:
To a people walking in darkness, hope is here;
To the poor and broken-hearted, hope is here.
A child of lowly birth,
The Word became flesh and lived on earth.
To a world looking for answers, hope is here.
Chorus:
Hope is here - Jesus, the Hope of the World.
Do not fear, rejoice for His Kingdom has come.
Welcome and praise the Servant King
Our debt has been paid, God's love wins
Our God is with us, hope is here
Verse 2:
To the fallen and rejected, hope is here;
To the lonely and neglected, hope is here.
Emmanuel is born -
The King who will reign forevermore
To a world looking for answers, hope is here.
Mid 8:
Hope is alive, God is with us,
Hope is alive, Jesus saves
So lift up your song in the night "Hope is alive."
Jesus is King, sin is conquered
Jesus is King, freedom reigns
so, joining the angels, we sing "Jesus is King"
