Father of Eternity

Father of eternity

You made a way. A way for me.

You gave living water and  bread

You provide and my soul is fed

And soon you’ll  raise me from the dead!

Father of eternity

You gave to me new eyes to see

The unseen truth that’s all around

I’m placed in you where life is found

And so my soul is heaven bound

Bridge

Father of the  everlasting 

On you all I am I’m casting

Oh second Adam, I’m your child

By your blood, I am reconciled

A life of endless duration

Author of my sure salvation

You are present forevermore

The reason I am living for

And so I enter through your door

Father of eternity

Eternal security

Where other legacies shall fade

You’re the foundation that was laid 

You shall endure through endless age

Trembling Joy

Rescued from the precipice

Saved from the raging tide

Wrath and fury on its way

Save me, Lord, I cried! 

Delivered from the wrath to come

As fire was in the cup

To pour out on disobedient sons

His anger fills it up

So it is a trembling joy

To know that I am saved

I am rescued from the deluge

To tread the path Christ paved

Oh, the glorious gift of repentance

That woke me from my sleep

Saves me from the holy wrath of God

And now with joy, I weep

The smoke of this torment

Goes up forever more

When He treads out the wine press

Then flows the blood and gore

O the terror and the pain

Reserved for the arrogant

Those who would reject God’s Love

And refuse to repent

So it is a trembling joy

To know that I am saved

I am rescued from the deluge

To tread the path Christ paved

So it is a trembling joy

To know that I am saved

I am rescued from the deluge

To tread the path Christ paved

Everlasting Love

To a world of confusion and despair 

With humility our God came near

Now in the darkness of our night

Our savior shines redeeming light

Everlasting light

Everlasting love

Forever and forever 

Darkness cannot sever us from

Everlasting light

Everlasting love

His  light shines and shadows flee 

The light now shines in you and me

The glory of the Lord’s revealed

And by his wounds, we shall be healed

Everlasting light

Everlasting love

Forever and forever 

Darkness cannot sever us from

Everlasting light

Everlasting love

Walk in the light, the light of his love

Walk in the light of his love

Walk in the light, the light of his love

Walk in the light of his love

Walk in the light, the light of his love

Walk in the light of his love

God Draws Near

Two thousand years ago he came-And yet he lingers still

He came to be Emmanuel-To do the fathers will

And now our God is with us-Now our God draws near

So who can stand against us-We have no need to fear

A son is born unto us-To us is given a Son

Son of God and Son of Man-He is the  Holy One

He came to destroy the Devil’s works-He came to conquer death 

To give life to all would believe-He came to bear sins wrath

He shows God’s face and speaks God’s Word-To those who see and hear

He comes Messiah Lord and King--He came to draw us near

A son is born unto us-To us is given a Son

Son of God and Son of Man-He is the  Holy One

A son is born unto us-To us is given a Son

Son of God and Son of Man-He is the  Holy One

Oh How I Pray

Oh to see you  with clarity

With excitement or sheer terror

Lord, work in me a holy fear

Awaken me to my error

In great awe and true amazement 

Tear my conceptions asunder

May your eternal radiance

Now beget an awestruck wonder

Chorus

Oh how I pray that I can see 

The weight of your reality

The very thing I can’t conceive

Lord help me, help me to believe

Christ, You are gentle and lonely

And you are a warrior king

You’ll come with lightning in your hands

And Your flaming fire you will bring

Cause us to repent even now 

Oh, show us your cosmic glory

Cause our hearts to rend and tremble

At your awesome reality

Chorus

Oh how I pray that I can see 

The weight of your reality

The very thing I can’t conceive

Lord help me, help me to believe

The Downside of the Hill

It’s been a long, long journey

Many dreams yet to fulfill

Their remains much less pressure

On the downside of the hill

At times I’ve run full tilt ahead

The other times at a standstill

Life’s gravity helps me along

On the downside of the hill

My hand’s been ever at the plow 

Fallow ground I’ve tried to tell.

But I’ve become more fruitful

On the downside of the hill

I wish I had redeemed more time

Once time was just a thing to kill

Time seems more precious by the day

On the downside of the hill

Bridge

As a finish up this race, I’m on

I pray I finish well

I can’t return the way I’ve gone

I guess only time will tell

I surely want to keep my eyes

On Jesus for He is the prize

So I’ll keep on fighting the good fight

Living grace in God’s goodwill

There plenty life left yet to live

On the downside of the hill

I’m grateful my God‘s in control

And the times I’ve done his will

But it’s not over till it’s over

On the downside of the hill

But it’s not over till it’s over

On the downside of the hill

A Child Is Born

Wonderful Wonderful counselor

Consoler of our souls

In you abides all Wisdom

Our guide to self control

Mighty, mighty God

All power rests in your hands

You created all things with a Word

That Word forever stands

Unto us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

All governments shall bend the knee

To the holy Child of heaven

Everlasting Father

Beyond all time you dwell

By the power of your Adoption

You love your children well

Prince of peace come quickly

Rule over all our strife

Your peace is what you give us

To rest in your peace is life

Unto us a child is born

Unto us a son is given

All governments shall bend the knee

To the holy Child of heaven

Isaiah 9:6
