Wonder and Worship

Stars collapse in silence light-years away

While I breathe the quiet at the end of the day

A cosmos spinning on a canvas so wide

But there is something greater where we can abide

For I have been given the eyes to see

The weight of the cross and the weight of glory

Chorus

What a privilege to stand here in holy awe

I looked at mystery and wondered at what I saw

I fall to my knees when the words have fallen shy

To be graced with a place in the infinite Why

It is a gift to be undone by the ponderous view

The wonder of worship is the wonder of You

Holy, Holy, Lord of matchless worth

Your glorious weight fills up the longing earth

I am undone by the wonder of Your grace

A wandering heart now home in Your embrace

My strength may fail, along with all my endeavors

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever

(Bridge)

Humbled under the canopy of grace

A fragile heart in a boundless space

The honor isn't in knowing the plan

The honor is being a humbled man

To look up in worship, to bow down

To lose my breath, to cast my crown

What a privilege to stand here in holy awe

I looked at mystery and wondered at what I saw

I fall to my knees when the words have fallen shy

To be graced with a place in the infinite Why

It is a gift to be undone by the ponderous view

The wonder of worship is the wonder of You

Cleave to the Lord (High Calling)

 

Cleave to the Lord with all your heart

Do the things that are before- press toward the mark

The high calling of God is the great prize

So on Jesus Christ, set your eyes!

Your lot in life may seem unfair

And your position difficult to bear

Cleave to the Lord, He will not forsake you

Cleave to Him, the world will not overtake you

Though the cross be heavy and the fight be hard

He himself will be His very Best reward

So look forward, look onward to the end

For the Best is yet to come

Time is short, and the end draws near

When the good fight will be done

Now labor on, work on, strive on

Strive till the souls of others are won
Pray on through these latter days

For God‘s glory and his praise

So look forward, look onward to the end

For the Best is yet to come

Time is short, and the end draws near

When the good fight will be done

Rest for Your Soul

 

Walk in the old path says the Lord

And you will find rest for your souls

There is nothing new that can afford

The holy rest that makes you whole 

For a rest of conscience is the secret need

Of a vast portion of mankind

And there is no work and there is no deed

Where in true rest you can find

Come and find rest of your soul

Come and find rest for your soul

Come cast your burdens- give Christ control

Come and find rest for your soul

That present sense of wrongness grows

Do you understand the cause?

But every heavy-laden sinner knows

That hunger that inside them gnaws

And riches and pleasures cannot give

The things you’re so will be blessed

Passed off your burden, come to live

In the Christ, who will give you rest

Come and find rest of your soul

Come and find rest for your soul

Come cast your burdens- give Christ control

Come and find rest for your soul

Matthew 11:28; Jeremiah 6:16

Lord of the Harvest

You are the seed of the woman

You are the tiller of soil

You have put your hand to the plough

You worked and the toil

You were the seed that was planted

You were sown into the earth

In time you sprang forth as the first-fruit

Of a harvest of infinite worth

Now your spirit tills the hard soil

And sows your seed in the seedbed

They are placed deep in the furrows

And watered by the blood you shed

Now from your work we are the increase

A consecrated crop, raised in the light

You prune us so we can bear much fruit 

Unto harvest the fields are now white

Lord of the harvest, your workers

Now labor go out to bring in the sheaves

To harvest the joy set before you

To reap what the sower receives 

Chorus 

Lord of the harvest come quickly 

Come now to reap what you’ve sown

Of your increase there will be no ending

The fruit thats is borne is your own

Open Your Eyes

The branch cannot bear fruit of itself, 

Except it abide in the vine

So it is with us  unless we abide

With heart and soul and our mind

Open your eyes to who Christ is 

if you would love him more

Never lose sight of this grand truth

You must abide in  the Lord

For Jesus must be the wellspring 

The source of our holiness

Jesus is the rock of our faith

The true rock of righteousness 

Open your eyes to who Christ is 

if you would love him more

Never lose sight of this grand truth

You must abide in  the Lord

Precious Lord Jesus

Nothing is so sanctifying

As precious communion with Christ

A deep knowledge of the Lord Jesus

Is better than any sacrifice 

Because of his work he is precious

And precious he ought to be

He has called us and quickened and washed us

And justified, we are set free

Open your eyes to who Christ is 

If you would love him more

Never lose sight of this precious truth

You must always abide in the Lord

He is Precious for what he is doing

As he strengthens and intercedes

He is ever sympathizing

He is ever meeting our needs

He is precious for what he will do yet

He will harvest all that he has sown

At the end of days he will raise us

And present us faultless before the throne

For Love is a person
Joy has a face

Study to know Him

He is Full of Truth and Grace

Open your eyes to who Christ is 

If you would love him more

Never lose sight of this precious truth

You must always abide in the Lord

Formed In the Quiet

God works for those who wait on Him

He settles the soul when times look grim

"Peace, be still" is His command

Your confidence is in His hands

Sit still  before the Lord and wait

In a patient and trusting State

Be dependent humble and content

From pride and striving now relent

Be still and know

Be still and know

Be still and know

That God is God

When the world around you is in riot

Remember we are formed in the quiet.

Stop all the striving in your soul

And recognize God is in control

You shall be saved by returning and rest

Let go of frustration and you will be blessed

He works for those who wait on Him

He settles the soul when times look grim

Peace be still is His command

Your confidence is in His hands

Breaker King

 

Christ will march out like a champion

Stirred up in His zeal

Victorious over evil

His sword shall be revealed

The powers shall be disarmed

He makes war in righteousness

The unrepentant are forewarned

A bloody robe shall be his dress

Of our Captain of Salvation we shall sing

Taking every thought captive to our Breaker King

The Lord God is our warrior

He shouts the battle cry

We follow now our leader

As the battle rages high

Of our Captain of Salvation we shall sing

Take every thought captive to our Breaker King
