Sorrow

A worldly goods are taken

And we have sorrow

By friends, we are forsaken

And we have sorrow

With difficulties all around

By our troubles, we are bound

Everywhere we look they’re found

And we have sorrow

Our loved ones go down to the grave

And we have sorrow

Our hearts are frail, and sins we crave

And we have sorrow

The near and dear to us we grieve

For their refusal to believe

And just wrath they will receive

And we have sorrow

 Bridge

At Adam’s fall came the thistle and thorn

And the bitter cup that we must mourn

We drink that cup of sorrow and pain

Yet, before and behind us it remains

But in heaven there shall be no pain

There’ll be no sorrow

All our losses shall become gain

There’ll be no sorrow

No disease or weakness or decay

No farewell shall we ever say

Blessed be the Lord for that eternal day

There’ll be no sorrow

Blessed be the Lord for that eternal day

There’ll be no sorrow

There’ll be no sorrow…

One Blood

God has made of one blood all nations of men

Who dwell on the face of the Earth

He determined our times before time began

He determined the time of our birth

Kings and paupers , rich and poor

Are humbled to know this is true

We’re all of one blood, the same at our core

But only One blood can make us new

The blood of Jesus seals the new covenant

It is the One blood that atones

The One blood attains for those who repent

And believe in the One blood alone

In that One blood, we are washed clean

For to Adam’s one blood we are bound

Soon we are going going gone from this scene

To that place where the new Adam is found

Bridge

The blood of the Lamb cleanses you and me

Oh the blood of the Lamb sets us free

It is this One blood by which we stand

The life giving blood of the Lamb!

The blood of Jesus seals the new covenant

It is the One blood that atones

The One blood attains for those who repent

And believe in the One blood alone

We believe in the One blood alone

We believe in the One blood alone

Living Love

Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ

Because Jesus is alive and well

He loves us with a love that will ever suffice

It’s of this love that we want to tell

Jesus is at the Father‘s right hand

And Jesus is ruling for us

His love causes us hour by hour to stand

This is a love in which we can trust

He gave his life to save us

His Sacrifice was more than enough

Eternal life he gave us

So we can forever live in his love

His love is not just a memory

For his called and his chosen ones

It’s an ever living reality

Kept and protected by what he is done

Bridge

Living, love, forgiving love

This is what our joy is made of

There’s no greater love than what he gave

Gave us life for the ones he came to save

He gave his life to save us

His Sacrifice was more than enough

Eternal life he gave us

So we can forever live in his love

So we can forever live in his love

So we can forever live in his love

For Christ’s Sake

With Charity and Sympathy

Let us be loving and kind

For Christ’s sake, let it be, let it be

If we give life away, then true life will find

With Christ, I have been crucified 

And now I no longer live

But Christ lives in me and I have died

To all sin promises to give

So live Jesus Christ and to die his gain

For my hope of glory is in Christ

So whether I go or I remain

His praise shall be my sacrifice 

In this world where  life is give and take

I want to live my life for Jesus’ sake

Not I, but Christ who lives in Me

For this is the holy mystery 

With Christ, I have been crucified 

And now I no longer live

But Christ lives in me and I have died

To all Sin promises to give

So to live is Christ and to die is gain

For my hope of glory is in Christ

So whether I go or if I remain

His praise shall be my sacrifice

Father of Glory

 

Father of Glory, now draw us near

We tremble and rejoice in holy fear

Through all our days, your Glory shines

Displayed in the heavens and in our times

Father of Glory show us the way

That your children of dust can truly display

The light of your beauty shining so bright

And here in the darkness, may we be the light

Father of Glory we seek your face

And find it in Jesus, full of truth and grace

We see him most clearly in your holy Word

We behold his Glory, and our hearts are stirred

Father of Glory light our path we pray

Here in your glorious light we would stay

Transform our hearts with your holy light

The cross is our vision, your Word is our sight

Oh Father of Glory the Wisdom you give

Is born of the Spirit so that we may live

By your Revelation- your Glories are known

In the face of Christ Jesus and in Him alone

Father of Glory we seek your face

And find it in Jesus, full of truth and grace

We see him most clearly in your holy Word

We behold his Glory, and our hearts are stirred

We behold his Glory, and our hearts are stirred

Ephesians 1:17

The Savior and the Saved

The Savior and the saved will dwell together

United, there in His glory forever

And He could never lose

The ones God chose to choose

For nothing in this world can this love sever

The Savior and the saved shall be as one

The Holy Bride united with the Son

The Bridegroom shall return

For every heart that yearns 

Behold Him as he and His kingdom comes

Bridge

We shall arise in rapture sweet

There in his presence at his feet

Chorus 

For He will take us to His side 

Beneath the sheltering wings we'll hide

There as the Bridegroom's Holy bride

We'll be joined together forever to abide

The Savior and the saved together stand

At the glorious wedding supper of the Lamb

There’ll be all the Father gave

That Jesus came to save

For naught of earth could take them from His hand

For He will take us to his side 

Beneath the sheltering wings we'll hide

There as the Bridegroom's Holy bride

We'll be joined together forever to abide

On My Knees

Your truth has put me on my knees

That’s where I learn the best

Conviction rarely comes with ease

When my soul is not impressed

So burn your truth into my heart

Lord, burn it by Word and prayer

For then, the change begins to start

When you brand your Word there

I’m on knees Lord Jesus, on my knees 

That’s where the blind eye truly sees

On my knees, Lord Jesus on my knees

My heart submits to your decrees 

I find healing for my disease

On my knees, on my knees

In my beliefs, emotions and my mind

Can become fearful and confused

You promised if I seek, then I shall find

You will never break the reed that is bruised

Lord You always will fulfill your plan

And I pray your will and mine align

In my prayer, I come to understand

What I want the most is your will and not mine

I’m on knees Lord Jesus, on my knees 

That’s where the blind eye truly sees

On my knees, Lord Jesus on my knees

My heart submits to your decrees 

I find healing for my disease

On my knees, on my knees

What Love is This?

Unspeakable, incomprehensible 

God's only Son was not spared

Our rebellion was indefensible 

No greater love can be compared 

God has spared not his own Son

But delivered Him up for us all

How will He not- when it's said and done

Freely give all things to the called?

What love is this? What love is this?

That  saw  justice and mercy kiss

The dead in Sin now know perfect bliss

What love is this? What love is this?

Our depths of Sin is beyond our knowing 

Our darkness, we did not understand 

And the evils we were sowing

Deserved the wrath of God’s right hand

Yet while we sinners were God’s enemies

Christ the Son God’s wrath did reap

He has died and arose to set us free

Evermore our souls to keep

What love is this? What love is this?

That  saw  justice and mercy kiss

The dead in Sin now know perfect bliss

What love is this? What love is this?
