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

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

No Eye Has Seen, No Ear Has Heard

 

Wonderful things marvelous things

Are prepared for those who love Christ

Beyond our wildest imaginings

Who can comprehend paradise?

All of the glory the mind can conceive

Falls short of what God has prepared

The plans and the truths we fail to perceive

There’s Nothing that can be compared

Before Him, Of Him and in him are all the blessings

In heavenly places- they are found in Him

From Him and through Him and to Him are all things

He holds all things together, Amen!

To Him be glory forever, Amen!

No eye has seen, no ear has heard

Of the spiritual blessings we’ll see

God promises this and more in His word

In Christ it is reality!

Before Him, Of Him and in him are all the blessings

In heavenly places- they are found in Him

From Him and through Him and to Him are all things

He holds all things together, Amen!

To Him be glory forever, Amen!

A Touch of Grace

Trials will come and trials will go and dangers will remain

We must endure but Death is sure and simple and plain

But there is a mercy to behold in each test that we face

Embedded in each reality check-- is a touch of Grace

Things don’t fall together- they all fall apart

Our minds can’t fathom the secrets of God’s heart

But we know who He says He is and who He’ll ever be

To live and move and be in Him we find community

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is a gift of God-So no one may boast

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is the gift of God -So no one may boast

Bridge

Most things that we pursue right now will be gone without a trace

But if we see the unseen light we’ll feel the touch of Grace

Now, if we touched the least of these, we touch God’s very face

And as we’re touching others, we will feel the touch of Grace

Blessings may come in disguise, in unanticipated ways

If we see with wisdom’s eyes, lamentation may turn to praise

Cause when you feel the touch of God that Time cannot erase

You know that you have truly felt the touch of Grace

The future is not certain, whether great or full of dread

As God draws back the curtain for the living and the dead

Then all of life is mercy if we have the eyes to see

But we can walk together into God’s eternity

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is a gift of God-So no one may boast

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is the gift of God -So no one may boast

Sing

Sing a song with all your might

To release your heart’s delight

In the spirit now we sing

Songs of worship we now bring

Sing sing, sing sing

A new song as you’re offering

Holy sounds of joy raise

To the Lord of hosts, give praise

All creation lifts
its voice

In the creator, all rejoice

The  very universe now hear

Hear the music of the spheres

Sing sing, sing sing

A new song as you’re offering

Holy sounds of joy raise

To the Lord of hosts, give praise

Songs of joy and of gladness

Songs of lament and of sadness

Sing with the spirit and the mind

And then God‘s pleasure we will find

Sing sing, sing sing

A new song as you’re offering

Holy sounds of joy raise

To the Lord of hosts, give praise
