In the Stillness

 

Here in the stillness of the night

A song arises in me

A song of the spirit that brings its own light

Giving my heart eyes that see

Here in the stillness, those spiritual eyes

Are focused on what is True

And visions of beauty and goodness arise

As I set my mind Lord on you

For I will be still

And I will know you

You are my God and ever shall be

It is your will

That I should know you

And understanding You I am free

In the stillness Your beauty I see

Here in the stillness of the morning

Mercy is rising anew

In this tranquility new hope is dawning

For all my hope I find in You

Now I will be still

And I will know you

You are my God and ever shall be

It is your will

That I should know you

And understanding You I am free

In the stillness Your beauty I see

The Weight of Glory

 

Through the Gospel we are called

Christ is now our all in all

The weight of glory we shall bear

For in His glory we shall share

 

Oh the glory Jesus gives

From the One who ever lives

That we may become one

Like the Father and the Son

 

Oh our trials and tribulations

Pale beside our great salvation

Though His suff’rings we now share

The weight of glory we shall bear

 

In Your Glory we shall share

We are his children and his heirs

If we share in His sufferings

In Christ we inherit everything

 

Bridge

Oh the glory so complete

Is in His presence, at His feet

The fellowship of His suffering

Unites us to the glory of our King

 

Oh our trials and tribulations

Pale beside our great salvation

Though His suff’rings we now share

The weight of glory we shall bear

Who is Like You?

Who is like you Oh God?

Who reigns in Holiness

There is none like you Lord

Who reigns in Righteousness

No eye has seen, no ear has heard

Of a god who can compare

You are God and God alone

Yet in Your glory we shall share

God of Wonders, you hold us in Your care

You are the Lord of Heaven

The beginning and the end

You’re the author of Creation

Yet you are our faithful friend

You are God Almighty

Yet you chose to condescend

Lord of Hosts on You we depend

Who is like You oh God?

Who is both wise and just?

You are a consuming fire

Yet in your peace we trust

You are the fount of lovingkindness

And you shed your love abroad

The Lord of Grace and mercy

Who’s not ashamed to be our God

God of all consolation-You we laud!

You are the Lord of Heaven

The beginning and the end

You’re the author of Creation

Yet you are our faithful friend

You are God Almighty

Yet you chose to condescend

Lord of Hosts on You we depend

Amazing Love

If there be any debt, a debt 

Of gratitude is all

It’s only right- that’s what’s required

This side of the fall. 

That God would give His Son for me.

To become my only plea 

Now heaven is my destiny. 

This is the upward call.

Amazing Love astounds the soul

Amazing Love confounds my mind

Amazing Love I now extol

No greater love can sinners find

For this love we were designed

How can there be a benefit

That to me accrues

Can I make some sense of it

How could I e’er refuse?

For love has shed its light on me

Quickened my heart and set me free

So here I ponder on my knees

The amazing good good news!

Now this love I shall pursue

To transform me and all I do

Amazing love will see me through

Each morning it is new!

Amazing Love astounds the soul

Amazing Love confounds my mind

Amazing Love I now extol

No greater love can sinners find

For this love we were designed

The Way of the Cross

When you’re staring down trouble

When you’re wrestling with fear

When the pain is redoubled

Christ is holding you near

The way has its suffering 

The way has its loss

There is only one way

The way of the cross

You know not the affliction 

From which you’ve been spared

Beyond illusions and fiction

There’s the glory He’s prepared

The way has its suffering 

The way has its loss

There is only one way

The way of the cross

I Fall I Fail and I’m Flawed

I fall, I fail, and I’m flawed

Yet in the hands of the living God

He is not limited by my limitation

In Christ, I am lifted beyond my station

I’m flawed, I fail and I fall

But I know on whom I will call

Christ lifts me up and holds me fast

Even when into the depths I’m cast

 

With me, it is impossible

But with Christ, all things are possible

Without Him I can do nothing

But in Christ I can do all things

I fall  I’m flawed and I fail

I wander I’m weeping and I wail

But I lift my eyes and then I seek

The power that’s perfected when I am weak

OK, all right, Amen!

With me, it is impossible

But with Christ, all things are possible

Without Him I can do nothing

But in Christ I can do all things

The Rock of Righteousness (My Hope)

Not in my strength or in my might

But Christ alone I am made right

No other hope has rescued me

No other Name remains my plea

Not in my children or my wife

But in the very source of life

Not in my works or in my plans

On the rock of righteousness, I stand

Chorus 

Christ is the Rock of righteousness

His blood has ransomed me

This is the truth that I confess

From sin I’ve been set free

Now I am His eternally

Bridge 

Now to live is Jesus Christ

And now to die is gain

There is no other sacrifice

God’s word is made it plain 

No other work remains

Now not in all the world can give

But in Christ alone I live

The Words of Life to him belong

He is my source, my strength, my song

Christ is the Rock of righteousness

His blood has ransomed me

This is the truth that I confess

From sin I’ve been set free

Now I am His eternally

The Hard Road

Long, long is the path through the night

On the hard road we stumble and we lose sight

But we will get home if the signposts we read

They are raised up there to meet our deep need

The prideful man crawls

Under a world weary load

The hard road  has its pitfalls

It’s a rough rugged road

Preach to your soul every day

Sufficient grace has paved the way

Long, long is the pathway of light

Finish the race, fight the good fight

A long obedience is what you will face

To finish the sojourn depends on God’s grace

The prideful man crawls

Under a world weary load

The hard road  has its pitfalls

It’s a rough rugged road

So Preach to your soul each and every day

Sufficient grace has paved the way
