Running to Your Grace

I’ve been running in the shadows

Building walls so tall and wide

Holding onto hidden sorrow

Now there’s nowhere left to hide

Lost the map and made my own way

With no guide I wandered far 

Now I’m standing in the ruins

Of a heavy, broken heart 

Chorus

So I turn, I turn around

Let my heavy walls come down

Clear the rubble, make me new

Father, I return to You

Where the mercy’s wide and deep

Here I fall upon my face

I lay my pride down at your feet

I am running to your Grace 

All the promises I damaged

All the words I wish I said

Every time I tried to manage

The mess I made inside my head

I will surrender it all

I am tired of the chase

On your kindness I will fall

I am leaning on your Grace 

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

For Your mercy I am yearning

By Your Spirit make me new

There’s no shadow, no returning

Nothing’s hidden from your view

You are the way, you are the light

You lead me out and make me right

Oh my Shepherd, be my guide

Jesus take me to your side!

Repeat Chorus

King of Glory, Wisdom and Might

You walked the earth  and carried the cross

And turned to holy gain the heaviest loss 

A sacrifice of love so deep,

You sought and found this wandering sheep. 

Bright Morning Star,  Shepherd of the soul,

You touch the weary and make them whole.

In the dark valley where the shadows fall,

Your gentle voice still calls through it all. 

Oh, King of Glory,  Wisdom and Might

You guide our faltering steps into the light

You are the Rock, the sure Cornerstone,

We lay our lives before Your heavenly throne. 

No power of darkness or the deepest grave,

Could bind the love You freely gave.

The chains are broken, the blind now see,

Because You bore the cross of Calvary

 

Oh, King of Glory,  Wisdom and Might

You guide our faltering steps into the light

You are the Rock, the sure cornerstone,

We lay our lives before Your heavenly throne.

Ode to Christ

‘Neath starlit skies to manger bed,

You came to dwell where Love has led.

You walked the earth with healing hands,

Your Grace met all the law's demands. 

A quiet strength in every word

The greatest Truth the world e'er heard.

You taught the heart to first forgive,

And showed us how we ought to live. 

Jesus, Jesus Christ our Lord

Give us faith to trust you more!

The heavy cross You meekly bore,

To open wide the heavenly door.

Through darkest night and deepest pain,

You broke the power of death’s reign

Our risen King conquered the grave

Our Shepherd is the One who saves.

Your Gospel brings enduring peace 

The news of freedom and release!

Jesus, One that we adore

Give us strength to serve you more!

A steadfast anchor for the soul,

Your boundless mercy makes us whole. 

Beacon of love, wisdom, and light, 

We celebrate your sacrifice, 

Let every voice, let every breath,

Praise Him who triumphed over death.

Our truth, our life, our endless peace,

Your boundless love shall never cease.

 

Jesus Jesus blessed Lord

Give us grace to love you more!

God is Faithful

Be joyful in hope

If you are to cope 

When trouble comes your way

Be Patient in affliction

For grace is not a fiction

And it will be sufficient for the day

 

Be Faithful in prayer.

Never ever despair

For the Lord is in control 

To fight the good fight

To do what is right

Is your purpose and your goal

For God is faithful, God is faithful 

He is our faithful friend

God is faithful. Yes He is faithful 

He is faithful to the end

 

Your faith you must keep

What you sow you must reap.

But even this God works for our good

You know it is all of grace

If we would finish the race.

This must be understood

For God is faithful, God is faithful 

He is our faithful friend

God is faithful. Yes He is faithful 

He is faithful to the end

Incline Our Hearts

Incline our hearts

And open our eyes

Set us apart

And make us wise

Your grace impart

And attend our cries

Incline our hearts

And open our eyes

Save us Lord

And give relief

With our faith restored 

Help our unbelief

With Your mighty sword

Strike our enemies 

Save us Lord

Give us relief

With our hearts inclined to You

True peace we will find in You

If we set our minds on You

We will find You faithful and true

Incline our hearts

To do Your will

To our inward parts

Lord say “peace be still”!

Now as each day starts

With Your Spirit filled

Incline our hearts

To do Your will

Incline our hearts

To do Your will

I Declare

I shall declare the good news

There is reason to hope it is real

In an offer you dare not refuse

The gospel of grace is revealed 

In each desperate situation 

There is mercy that you may receive 

A deliverance and a salvation 

Promised to those who believe

I shall dare to declare 

The good news of the gospel loud and clear

Good news I bear so I declare

The times grow short as Christ’s return draws near

There is no need to live in shame and fear

If you have the ears to hear…

Repentance is a gift that is granted

We were chosen before time began

God provides the seed that is planted

For faith is not authored by man

I shall dare to declare 

The good news of the gospel loud and clear

Good news I bear so I declare

The times grow short as Christ’s return draws near

There is no need to live in shame and fear

If you have the ears to hear…

The Light of Your Word

In the still of the morning

While new Light is adorning my day

I will seek Your face

In the still of the morning

With new mercies a-borning, I pray

And it is all of Grace

In the din of the mid-day

I will pause then to pray and be still

I will call on You

In the din of the mid-day

I will seek the straight way of Your will

And  my soul will fall on You

As I beseech you- My attempts to reach You

Resolve in the Light of Your Word

As Your Spirit speaks to me-It will change and renew me, 

Transformed by the Truth I have heard

As my heart is stirred…

At the swift-waning eve

I will pause to perceive Your way

Your wisdom I’ll ponder

At the swift-waning eve

Then new grace I’ll receive as I pray

Awestruck in wonder

In the falling of night

In the absence of  light I’ll confess

I’ll give thanks and adore You

In the falling of night

With the fading of sight I am blessed

My heart trembles before You

As I beseech you-My attempts to reach You

Resolve in the Light of Your Word

As Your Spirit speaks to me-It will change and renew me 

Transformed by the truth I have heard

As my heart is stirred…

As my heart is stirred…

God is Good

Come lift your voice

Come and rejoice

God is good good good

God is good good good

Come, bring your praise

Come, be amazed

God is good good good

God is good good good

Enter his presence with singing

Know you the Lord that he is God 

True sacrifices you are bringing

Come bow your hearts as you are awed

Come lift your cup

He’ll fill it up

God is good good good

God is good good good

Come and be still

Kept in his will

God is good good good

God is good good good

God is good!
