Walk Worthy (Inhabit our Dust)




If I am to walk worthy 

It must be Christ in me

For I am so unworthy

But you have sent me free

There is no limitation 

On what you can do

Oh God of my salvation

Make me faithful and true


In you I trust 

Inhabit my dust

So I take off the old man 

According to your plan 

Now Christ is living in me 

For all the world to see

I am but I cracked vessel, 

But you are placed in me


You tell me to walk worthy

So I must keep in step

In step with your spirit

This is how I am kept

This is my hope of glory

This is my confidence

This is Christ in me

My hope and my defense

We Need You




Lord, we need you oh we need you

Our very souls cry out

Come, save us to the utter most

And banish sin and doubt

In circle us about


We need you or we need you

Our spirits groan for you

Come, comfort and console us

That you promised Lord to do

Our spirits to renew


We need you, but we need you

All our whole lifelong

We need your grace and mercy

To make right from our Wrong

And so we sing this song


Chorus 

Our need is great

But you are Greater still

On you we wait

In the center of your will

Fruit of the Spirit




We are the new wine skins

We contain the new wine

The fruit that we yield 

Is the fruit of the vine

Old skins can’t contain it

We must be made new

Much fruit we are bearing

As we were made to do


Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness

Faithfulness, gentleness, and self control

To become like Christ as our holy goal


For God‘s Spirit is flowing

Through each branch of the vine

Yielding fruit to feed others

Fruits of various kinds

Without Christ, we do nothing

In him we bear righteous fruit

Yes, this is our calling

These are our pursuit


Love,  joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness

Faithfulness, gentleness, and self control

To become like Christ as our holy goal

Love Overflowing



The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof

It is full of His mercy and full of His love

Grace overflowing attends all our days

So we will join in with creation in praise


The heavens, God’s glory, won’t cease to declare

In His presence is fullness of joy, ever there

And with us His presence forever abides

in paths of righteousness for his sake He guides


Love overflowing, 

Grace overflowing

Forever is growing

For those that God calls His own

Love overflowing 

His goodness He’s showing

The greatest love that can ever be known


In Christ all the fullness  of the Godhead dwells

So as He abides in us and we in Him all is well

The earth is His footstool and heaven His throne

He is over all Sovereign and reigning alone


We’re  filled with the fullness of God in Christ’s love

Which surpasses all knowledge  that we can know of

For the measureless infinite love of the Lord

Upon us and in us is fully outpoured!


Love overflowing, 

Grace overflowing

Forever is growing

For those that God calls His own

Love overflowing 

His goodness He’s showing

The greatest love that can ever be known


Ephesians 3:19

Bloody Cross, Holy Cross

Darkest of darkness you covered the land

Three hours times two the sun hid away

It could not look up on the obscene man

And his bloody garments were the object of play


The skies came alive with lightning and thunder

But it could not drown out the screams

The earthquake tore the tombs asunder

In what looked like nightmarish dreams


Bloody Cross, Holy Cross

The greatest treasure was counted as loss

For infinite sin required  infinite cost

There on the bloody cross


And a spear must thrust into a heart

And blood and water flowed

And I am one who would play the part

The Scapegoat took over the debt I owed


Bridge

As the Lamb was forlorn

The curtain was torn

Then true holiness was defined

And there God's righteousness we find


Bloody Cross, Holy Cross

The greatest treasure was counted as loss

For infinite sin required  infinite cost

There on the bloody cross

Preach the Gospel




I will preach to myself the Gospel

I will dwell on it every day

For my life was changed by the Gospel

For it tells of the truth, life and way

I will raise up new stones of remembrance

And the memories of what God has done

I will call to mind the good news

Then I’ll tell it to everyone


I will set my mind on the Gospel

I will meditate on it each night

Then, as on my heart it is written.

I will know how to walk in the light


I will preach to myself the Gospel

It’s God’s power to all who believe

I am not ashamed of the Gospel

For through it new life is received

In this world, there is only one Gospel

That was given to us once for all

Though the world may sell a false gospel

I will scorn that and the truth recall


Bridge

There is only one Gospel of Jesus Christ

He was crucified dead and was raised

I am saved by His final sacrifice

For his name’s sake- God be praised


I will set my mind on the Gospel

I will meditate on it each night

Then, as on my heart, it is written.

I will know how to walk in the light

Plank

I got a plank in my eye

I need to remove it

I just can’t deny

My actions have proved it


I’m prone to see specks

In each eye that I see

My hard heart detects

Things I can’t see in me…


Chorus

But for the grace of God, there go I

And it is by God’s grace alone

That I am not left in pride and sin to die

Its all of the mercy He’s shown


When oh when will I learn

To repent of my heart?

Once that plank I discern

Then helping others can start


 Bridge

But if I confess I am one unholy mess

He will not forsake me I know

Though I don’t deserve his kingdom to serve

All to Jesus my Savior I owe.


But for the grace of God, there go I

And it is by God’s grace alone

That I am not left in pride and sin to die

Its all of the mercy he’s shown
