Sing a Song of Anger



Sing a song of anger

The righteous, holy kind

On the edge of danger

Discern to speak your mind

More than indignation

More than rampant stress

A Holy conflagration 

Then lay it down to rest


Sing a song of anger

And then just dare to act

A soldier dare not linger

If the call is to attack

Don the righteous armor

Find a place to stand

Wield the sword with ardor

Flaming in your hand


Sing a song of anger

Where the good fight is found

Strive with righteous rancor

By right conviction bound

Let arguments be torn down

Demolish Satan‘s hordes

Occupy the holy high ground

For the battle is the Lord’s 


Ephesians 4:26; 1 Samuel 17:47

Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Our Refuge is Jesus (Look to the Cross)



We have taken refuge

Under the Blood of Jesus

There is no condemnation

For the blood frees us

For it is through the holy blood

That the Father sees us

Bless the Lord for the bloody cross

For our refuge is Jesus


Look to the cross where his mercy and justice merge

Where glory and wonder together abide 

Look to the cross where beauty and grace converge

Here your deepest joy is satisfied 

There to savor the Savior is our greatest urge

Look to the cross where our Savior died

Look to the cross where our Lord was glorified…


We have taken refuge

Under the blood of Jesus

Look where he for our sins atoned

For the blood now frees us

Free from wrath and free from Sin

Clean now, the Father sees us

We abide in his Love secure

For our refuge is Jesus


Look to the cross where his mercy and justice merge

Where glory and wonder together abide 

Look to the cross where beauty and grace converge

Here your deepest joy is satisfied 

There to savor the Savior is our greatest urge

Look to the cross where our Savior died

Look to the cross where our Lord was glorified…

The Lord of Light is Our Delight


The Lord of light is our delight 

His glory fills our heart

‘Tis  shed abroad through depths and heights

Behold his works of art


The Lord of light is our delight

He shines within our soul

He takes our wrongs and makes them right

And makes our spirits whole


The Lord of light is our delight

His radiance fills our minds

And Satan will take up his flight

When worship there he finds


Bridge:

In you, there is no darkness at all

Oh, light of the world on our knees we fall

You are our light and our salvation

Light our lives in celebration!

Till that day when there be no sun

For the light of heaven You have become


The Lord of light is our delight

Our temple He indwells

We bear His image in this dark night

Our works His gospel tells.


The Lord of Light is our delight

His Word, a lamp to our feet

He lights our pathway in this fight

Till the sojourn is complete


The Lord of light is our delight

Our hearts, spirits, souls and minds 

Empowered, we remain contrite 

As through our life, He shines

Delight Yourself in the Lord of Glory

 

The heavens declare the glory of God

If you have the eyes to see

If you have only the ears to hear

You will hear love's symphony


God is Glorious, hear the refrain

God is Glorious, lift up His name

The heavens and earth together proclaim

God is Glorious

God is Glorious

He is worthy to be adored 

Delight yourself in the Glory of the Lord


The whole earth proclaims the glory of God

If you will apprehend

The peoples give voice to the praise of his glory

This is their one  chief end


God is Glorious, hear the refrain

God is Glorious, lift up His name

The heavens and earth together proclaim

God is Glorious

God is Glorious

He is worthy to be adored 

Delight yourself in the Glory of the Lord


Day pours forth speech

To all who will listen

Night pours forth knowledge

To all who would know

God speaks in great voids

And in stars that glisten

His Word goes forth

Wherever Truth goes

To those who walk in the light

His glory is their greatest delight


God is Glorious, hear the refrain

God is Glorious, lift up His name

The heavens and earth together proclaim

God is Glorious

God is Glorious

He is worthy to be adored 

Delight yourself in the Glory of the Lord

Romans 5:1-5 (This Grace In Which We Stand)

We exalt in the hope of the glory of God

It is this Grace in which we stand

Through Christ, we have accessed Grace by Faith

Before time, for this time, this Gospel was planned


Through our Lord Jesus we have peace with God

For through faith, we are justified

It is only through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ

It was for our very sins that He died!


Unto lost sinners this blood is applied 

We are declared righteous and are justified

It is for the ungodly that Christ has died

This is how God shows His love for us 

Reconciled by Christ’s blood in which we trust

Once enemies- but now reconciled

One can come to be known as His child!


We rejoice in our own tribulations

For through suffering, we persevere

And by persevering, character is formed.

So we hope in Holy Fear…


For the love of God has been poured out

Through the Spirit in our hearts

So our Holy Hope never disappoints

By the Grace that our God imparts 


Unto lost sinners this blood is applied 

We are declared righteous and are justified

It is for the ungodly that Christ has died

This is how God shows His love for us 

Reconciled by Christ’s blood in which we trust

Once enemies- but now reconciled

One can come to be known as His child!

Look to Jesus



What is the secret of running the race

The race that toward heaven leads?

Every heart that has found its homeplace

Looks to the One who ever intercedes


What is your hope and what is your goal? 

To confess, we must focus our eyes

For faith is the eye of the Christian's soul

And Christ is the one on whom our soul relies


Chorus 

He is the author

He is the finisher

He writes every line of our faith

He is our hope

He is our perfercter 

Look to Jesus, the one source of Grace


Bridge

Where are you looking?

That makes all the difference

Where do you set your mind?

Where are you looking?

What is the evidence?

What are you seeking to find?


So as Moses lifted that bronze serpent

There in the wild wilderness

With trust and confidence we can repent

Look to Jesus and be truly blessed


He is the author

He is the finisher

He writes every line of our faith

He is our hope

He is our perfecter 

Look to Jesus, the one source of Grace

Anchor My Soul


God anchors my soul in the Rock of salvation

The Rock, where my faith is affirmed

The Rock, which is one true and sure foundation

That Rock will ever hold firm


Its unshakable strength is my refuge

The spiritual Rock of my Christ

This Rock will hold firm through the deluge

His unmovable truth will suffice


Anchor my soul, anchor my soul

Held firm in the Rock of salvation

Anchor my soul anchor my soul

This Rock is my one sure foundation


Anchored in the bedrock of belief

We are built on it as Living Stones

There our wandering souls find relief

Until we know as we are known


Though this world’s tempest seems out of control

Christ my Rock is where my anchor is cast

My hope in Christ ever anchors my soul

It forever holds firm and steadfast


Anchor my soul, anchor my soul

Held firm in the Rock of salvation

Anchor my soul anchor my soul

This Rock is my one sure foundation


Now, not drifting away I am able

To have inner calm, and endure

The Rock keeps me steadfast and stable

In life's storms, I am safe and secure


No,  I shall not drift into fear or despair 

I am held fast and won’t be released

He centers my mind, life’s turmoil to bear

Here I can face life’s storms with his peace


Anchor my soul, anchor my soul

Held firm in the Rock of salvation

Anchor my soul anchor my soul

This Rock is my one sure foundation
