Holy Is Your Name



My soul proclaims Your greatness, O Lord,

And my spirit rejoices in You, my Savior

In my everyday life,I am not ignored

For You have looked on me with favor

And though I am ordinary, 

I am blessed to belong to you

You have done extraordinary 

Works for me its true


In You I am satisfied-Holy is Your Name. 

May Your Name be glorified-Holy Is Your Name


You have been with me 

in moments when I moan

Turning my broken pieces

 into Holy stepping stones.

Your mercy has covered me 

from birth unto my waning years 

And extends to all those I love.

All those I hold dear 


In You I am satisfied-Holy is Your Name. 

May Your Name be glorified-Holy Is Your Name


You have shown Your strength 

in my barren land

Lifting me up when I was downcast

And giving me the courage to stand. 

Your promises are faithful

Your promises are true

Now and forever be my guide

Lord I depend on You.


In You I am satisfied-Holy is Your Name. 

May Your Name be glorified-Holy Is Your Name

Holy is Your Name

Holy Is Your Name! 


After Luke 6:41-45 (The Magnificat)

Free Indeed



I carried a weight that was never mine to bear

Trying to climb a ladder that led to nowhere

Anxious and bound by the rules I couldn't keep

Crying out for mercy in the shadows deep

But a hand reached down to this prisoner’s plight

Shining with the fire of a holy light

He broke the lock, He pulled back the stone

And claimed my heavy spirit as His very own.


Now whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

My Savior came to me to intercede

The prison doors are open, the old life is dead

The oil of His gladness is poured upon my head

By His blood I am ransomed, by His grace I am healed

Set free to a liberty His Spirit revealed!


The accuser still whispers the debts of my past

Trying to tell me that the freedom won't last

But I point to the cross where the receipt was signed

Leaving every shadow of my guilt behind

No longer a slave to the fear or the blame

Of that old man that carried my shame

I look at the scars on the hands of the King

And open my heart just to stand and sing.


(Chorus)


(Bridge)

It is not by my power, it is not by my might

But the Spirit of the Lord that has brought me to light

Where the Spirit is moving, the captives arise

Wiping away the tears from our heavy eyes

I reckon the reality that Sin has died

The gates of the kingdom are open wide!


(Chorus)

I call out your Name


Lord, I know you always hear me

So I call out your Name

Draw me close as you draw near me

I’ll call out your Name


For you are Jehovah Rapha you are the Lord that heals

You are Elohim and Abba, these Names your Word reveals

You are El Elyon, You are God Most High

Yahweh Mekodisshkem the Lord who sanctifies


Lord, you know I always need you

So I call out your Name

When you speak, Lord, I will heed you

Lord,  now I call out your Name


You are God Almighty, my holy El Shaddai

You are Jehovah Nissi, my banner flying high

You are Jehovah Rohi, my Shepherd, who will lead

You are Jehovah Jireh, who provides all I need


Your great Love I need to realize

So I call out your Name

To apprehend you with spirit eyes

Lord, I call out your Name


Oh, my Jehovah Tsidkinew-the Lord my righteousness!

You are Jehovah Shalom- with your peace. I am blessed.

You are Jehovah Shammah, my ever-faithful friend

The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End

You are the God who hears me, So I call out Your Name

I call out Your Name, I call out Your Name

I call out Your Name, I call out Your Name

Everything Altogether



The day is coming and is now here

We worship in spirit and truth

If we’re undone in Holy Fear

We are the living proof!

The wise and foolish shall bow down
In worship, great and small

And praise from rocks and hills abounds

And we lift him up as all and all


Chorus

Everything altogether their laud for Christ shall raise

Everything that has breath will lift its voice in praise

And when that praise arises, it will last forever

All creation shall praise His name- everything altogether


Bridge

Our Lord reigns! Our Lord reigns!

This is our refrain- Our Lord reigns!

Our Lord reigns! Our Lord reigns!

This is our refrain- Our Lord reigns!


The warrior and the least of these

Are prostrate before the throne

Rulers and principalities

Shall bow to  Christ alone

And every knee shall bow

And every tongue confess

The Lord of all with wounded brow

Is the King of Righteousness

Chorus

Everything altogether their laud for Christ shall raise

Everything that has breath will lift its voice in praise

And when that praise arises, it will last forever

All creation shall praise His name- everything altogether

The Unseen Light



'Neath the shadow of the cross

In the shadow of his wings

The outstretched arms of Jesus bid me come

In the shadows there is shade

Where my weary soul is stayed

There's a shelter where I hide till time is done


The shadows speak of something greater

By which their forms are cast

Things we cannot see till later

When this wilderness is past


Now in this darkened mirror

Glimpses of those days draw nearer

And we apprehend a longing in our souls

So we seek an unseen light

In the shadows of the night

For the things unseen will one day make us whole

Then the shadows yield our reason and our goal


The shadow of the cross is cast

Upon this wilderness so vast

For it is formed by the unseen light

Our light and our salvation 

Brings forth illumination 

And our darkened eyes are given sight


So now in our shadowland

There's a purpose and a plan

Where we learn to walk by faith

And not by sight

There the unseen hand will guide

Through his Word were to abide

It will lead us home in the unseen light


The shadow of the cross is cast

Upon this wilderness so vast

For it is formed by the unseen light

Our light and our salvation 

Brings forth illumination 

And our darkened eyes are given sight

Jesus, Only Jesus

 



Who can cleanse us?

Only Jesus

Who defends us?

Only Jesus

There is no other name

That we proclaim 

That can wash away our sins

Only Jesus

Only Jesus


Who has sought me?

Only Jesus 

Who has bought me?

Only Jesus

Only he is just

So in him we trust

For redemption he has wrought 

Only Jesus

Only Jesus


Bridge

Our deepest need

Is to be freed  from the wages of our sin

Now that debt is paid

Sacrifice is made-so come unto him

The world is overcome

By the blood of God’s own Son

For in Him death’s reign is done

And the victory is won!


Who has saved us?

Only Jesus

New life gave us

Only Jesus

Jesus meets our need

Jesus intercedes

He alone arose from the grave

Only Jesus

Only Jesus

At the Foot of the Cross


To stand beneath the timbers, where the earth and heaven met

Beneath the weight of sorrow, where Christ Jesus paid my debt

I looked upon the suffering, the crimson blood and sweat

I learn that  pride could never build a stairway so high

There all my striving breaks beneath that dark Judean sky.


At the foot of the cross, I am undone

I cast my body mind and soul at the feet of the Son

The battle  there is finished, the victory is won

I behold a mercy that swallowed my blame

A love that would suffer death to carry my shame

That this was God’s purpose, this was His aim

To put His Righteousness upon display

The cost of final atonement to pay

And set the stage for resurrection day


Bridge- there upon that tree deep is calling unto deep

When my pride is shattered, over my sin I weep

Calvary’s cross bears the promises He'll keep.

Here we learn the cost of justice, here we see the heart of grace

Every shadow disappears before this Holy Place

I thought I could hide them from God’s Holy light

But looking at the Savior, I can see with redeemed sight

Our weakness is the canvas where He displays His might

I learned that when I fail, and when my heart and flesh give way

His grace is the anchor that will cause my soul to stay.


There we trade our ashes for a crown of life anew

To live our days forever with His sacrifice in view.

Whom the Son sets free is free indeed it is true

My story is surrendered to the Author and the King

At the foot of the cross, gratitude is the song I'll sing.


At the foot of the cross, I am undone

I cast my body mind and soul at the feet of the Son

The battle there is finished, the victory is won

I behold a mercy that swallowed my blame

A love that would suffer death to carry my shame

That this was God’s purpose, this was His aim

To put His Righteousness upon display

The cost of final atonement to pay

And set the stage for resurrection day
