Above and Beyond

Above the glories of the starfields

Beyond eternities of time

Every power and authority yields

To the sovereign and sublime

Above every king that ever reigned

You sit enthroned in heaven above

All history is what you’ve ordained

It speaks of your wisdom and your love

Above and beyond our every need

Higher than the highest heights

You source our every righteous deed

You are the light beyond the light

You hold the cosmos in your hand

Beyond what my feeble tongue can tell

Above what I can understand

But You hold my heart  as well

You hold my heart  as well

Above the sum of infinity

Your worth is beyond measure

When resources fail you will be

Beyond the greatest treasure

There’s none like You  and there’ll never be

Another god like you

Who speaks and new realities

Spring forth and form what’s true

Bridge: No one had heard, no ear has perceived

No eye has seen no one has conceived 

Of a God above and beyond great

Who works for those who for Him wait 

Above and beyond our every need

Higher than the highest heights

You source our every righteous deed

You are the light beyond the light

You hold the cosmos in your hand

Beyond what my feeble tongue can tell

Above what I can understand

But You hold my heart  as well

You hold my heart  as well

Covered by the Blood

Under the Gospel, under the Blood

Under God’s sufficient Grace

We’re gifted with Wisdom and the call of Love

God is sovereign over all that we face

Covered, covered by the Blood of Jesus

Trust in Christ as you walk in the light

From our mistakes and misdeeds, He frees us

For the Blood of Christ will set us right

Bridge

Oh, what security and oh what a peace

Peace that passes understanding

Blessed be the man who from guilt is released!

For all that the Law is demanding

Is fulfilled by the One in whom we’re standing

So why should I worry and why should I fret?

When in the Gospel I can rest

A Spirit of thankfulness will see me through yet

For under the Blood, I am blessed

Covered, covered by the Blood of Jesus

Trust in Christ as you walk in the light

From our mistakes and misdeeds, he frees us

For the Blood of Christ will set us right.

Another Comforter

Lord you have sent another comforter

Your Holy Spirit- my soul  to keep

You knew I’d need the comforter

This trial is hard and anguish deep

This trial is hard and anguish deep

Here in this death I need a comforter

So devastated I can’t sleep

In agony for the way things were

Come groan with me as  I weep

Oh groan with me as I weep

God of all comfort You alone

Can know my deep sorrow and pain

For all I know, you too have known

I cast my soul on you again

I cast my soul on you again

Oh God of all Consolation

I may not grieve as the world grieves

Yet visit me in my devastation

Still I am one who is bereaved

For I am one who is bereaved

For death is still the final enemy

Oh Holy Spirit give me relief

Come beside me, You who dwell in me

Now in my sorrow and my grief

You know my sorrow and my grief

When death is conquered finally

And suffering is put to its end

We shall rejoice for all eternity

But for now I need my Holy Friend

For now I need my Holy Friend

My Rock and My Salvation

Truly in God my soul finds rest

I will be refreshed when I awaken

He is my fortress- in Him I am blessed

For I will never be shaken

For Christ is my tock

Christ is my rock

He is my rock and my salvation 

For Christ is my tock

Christ is my rock

He is my rock and my salvation 

Surely I am blessed, surely I am blessed

Surely my soul finds rest

In Christ my Rock and my Salvation

He is my mighty rock, my refuge

 And at all times I trust in him

He'll vouchsafe me amid the deluge

I pour out my heart to Christ again

My only comfort in life and death

My blessed hope at my last breath

For Christ is my Rock

Christ is my Rock

He is my Rock and my Salvation 

Surely I am blessed, surely I am am blessed

Surely my soul finds rest

In Christ my Rock and my Salvation

You Are the Great I AM

Lord You are Our joy and delight

Our comfort and our peace

You are our guide and our light

Our keeper and our release

Lord You are Our hope and confidence

Our friend and Our foundation 

You are Our shield and our defense

Our rest and our salvation

Lord, You are you were and are to come

You are the Great I Am 

You are you were and are to come

You are the Great I Am

Lord You are  Our ark and our strong tower

You're the solace of our soul

You are our refuge and our power

Our reason and our goal

You are you were and are to come

You are the Great I Am 

You are you were and are to come

You are the Great I Am

All Hail the Cross of Christ

All hail the cross of Christ

We boast in the cross alone

There was made the final sacrifice

And righteousness was made known

All hail the cross of Christ

To meet the cost man had to pay

There, suffering for sin sufficed

And true glory was on display

Oh, the death and resurrection 

The atonement and the righteousness

The finished work and rejection 

Here, see the blood that we confess

Oh, the cross of our redemption 

On Christ all our guilt was laid

He was wrath’s propitiation 

And full atonement for sin was made

So  in the cross shall be our boast

Where the lamb was crucified

This cruel crossbeam and post

Where upon our Savior died

Though forsaken dead and buried 

All the Sin he had to bear

Every one of them he carried

He arose and he left them there

All hail the cross of Christ

We boast in the cross alone

There was made the final sacrifice

There righteousness was made known

All hail the cross of Christ

To meet the cost man had to pay

There suffering for sin sufficed

And true glory was on display

Given freely to those whom in faith will prevail

And these great gifts of Father are for you to find

Bridge

We all fall short of glory we’re all bound to our sin

But there is the Gospel story that’s new life begins

There’s a joy that’s for you now to own

Make the choice. Make your choice

So rejoice, yes rejoice!
