We Cherish the Goodness of God

We cherish the goodness of God

Held in store for those who fear him

Flee temptation and take refuge in God

For He works for those who draw near him

 

Oh how abundant is his goodness

It is boundless and without measure

Even our pains are filled with profit

If He is our all-encompassing treasure

 

For your glory and our good

Mercy and grace will ever endure

And every good gift comes from you

In your goodness were safe and secure 

His kindness leads us to repentance

His forebearance and patience abounds

We rest in the arms of the Father

The place where true goodness is found

 

For your glory and our good

Mercy and grace will ever endure

And every good gift comes from you

In your goodness were safe and secure

Follow

Wherever Jesus leads us

He always goes before us

If where we’re going we don’t know

But we know with whom we go

And going without knowing

The place to where we’re going

The Lord knows just where we need to go

All we have to do is follow…

Follow, follow into the Unknown

We can trust the One who calls us His own

He knows the path, for He is the way

The Truth we follow every day

Through danger, toils, and snares we are not alone

As we follow all the way to Heaven’s throne

Yes, going without knowing

The place to where we’re going

The Lord knows just where we need to go

All we have to do is follow…

Bridge

In a world where all is chaos without Him

With its complicated rules, we just can’t win

But if we follow Jesus

By his grace, he frees us

He will simplify our life if we begin

Follow, follow into the Unknown

We can trust the One who calls us His own

He knows the path, for He is the way

The Truth we follow every day

Through danger, toils, and snares we are not alone

As we follow all the way to Heaven’s throne.

When I Wake

When I wake on a dim dark morning 

Rising from a sullen night 

I will take note of my Saviors warning

That I should not hide my light

I will rise up and share the story

How the treasure in my clay 

It will shine forth a morning glory

That will brighten up the day

So let your light so shine

Shine out, mister

Let your light so shine

So let your light so shine

Shine out, sister

Let your light so shine

I will wake on resurrection morning

I will arise, arise and shine

I will wake to a new world a-borning

Leave the darkness all behind

Then I will glow with glory reflecting

What no earthly light can replace

This light comes- the world perfecting

As we see Jesus' face 

So let your light so shine

Shine out, mister

Let your light so shine

So let your light so shine

Shine out, sister

Let your light so shine

Whirlwind (Touch Our Hearts)

When there is fear that our faith  may falter

And we cannot find A place to stand

When our sacrifice crawls off the altar

Darkness threatens to cover the land 

Will we go out and stand on the mountain

In the presence of the Lord of all?

Or will we hide away in the darkness?

Or will we heed the clarion call?

Though a powerful wind rends the mountains

And shatters the rocks into dust

You are not in the wind or the earthquake

Or the raging of the fire of the just

Touch our hearts with your word

This is our holy desire

Touch our hearts with your word

Whether by the whirlwind or the fire

If by lightning or thunder

You tear the veil asunder

Or if a still small voice is required

Touch our hearts with your word, take us higher

A gentle whisper is the only sound

A sound of sheer silence is heard

Your voice, Lord, inhabits the silence

And speaks a comforting consoling word

Touch our hearts with your word

This is our holy desire

Touch our hearts with your word

Whether by the whirlwind or the fire

If by lightning or thunder

You tear the veil asunder

Or if a still small voice is required

Touch our hearts with your word, take us higher

Touch our hearts this is our one desire

1 Kings 9:11-12

Broken

God gave us a world and we broke it

He gave us His Word when He spoke it

But we did not listen we did not heed

The words of life that we desperately need

A curse was pronounced at the fall

And that failure has affected us all

Things are not what they were at the start

Nothing falls together they just fall apart

There was an image perfect and true

That was broken in me and in you

Now a new birth, a new creation

Is what it takes to fix the desecration

There’s nothing this old world can do

To repair what’s in me and in you

To put in reverse

The primordial curse

In fact, it hasn’t even a clue

There’s only one escape from this strife

In a world where true evil is rife

That’s to be reborn

With a heart transformed

By the Redeemer who can give you new life

Now the old man has died, passed away

For the new man’s made new everyday

And the imago Dei is being restored

By the author of faith- Christ the Lord

Forevermore

Though you may be plagued with doubt

Christ will never cast you out

Tho your faith be small and weak

He will be the strength you seek

He will meet you anywhere

But he will not leave you there

Jesus will deliver you

Transform you and make you new

When the Father draws you near

Come to the Son in faith and fear

Come find the love you’re longing for

Rest in Christ forevermore

He is water for your thirst

If you seek his kingdom first 

He will be your daily bread

By his word you will be fed

When the Father draws you near

Come to the Son in faith and fear

Come find the love you’re longing for

Rest in Christ forevermore

Perfect Love

For all those needing rest

In him ends your restless ness

For all those seeking peace

The anxious man shall find release

Those struggling with doubt

Wisdom may yet find you out

For all those grieving sin

Forgiveness is found in him 

So place in Christ the burden that you bear

He will meet you there

He will always be enough 

Be healed by his perfect love

The bereft and alone

Your very heart by Christ is known

For the weary and weak

He exalts the poor and meek

So place in Christ the burden that you bear

He will meet you there

He will always be enough 

Be healed by his perfect love
