A Touch of Grace

Trials will come and trials will go and dangers will remain

We must endure but Death is sure and simple and plain

But there is a mercy to behold in each test that we face

Embedded in each reality check is a touch of grace

Things don’t fall together they all fall apart

Our minds can’t fathom the secrets of God’s heart

But we know who he says He is and who He’ll ever be

To live and move and be in Him we find community

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is a gift of God-So no one may boast

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is the gift of God -So no one may boast

Bridge

Most things that we pursue right now will be gone without a trace

But if we see the unseen light we’ll feel the touch of Grace

Now, if we touched the least of these, we touch God’s very face

And as we’re touching others, we will feel the touch of Grace

Blessings may come in disguise, in unanticipated ways

If we see with wisdom’s eyes, lamentation may turn to praise

Cause when you feel the touch of God that Time cannot erase

You know that you have truly felt the touch of Grace

The future is not certain, whether great or full of dread

As God draws back the curtain for the living and the dead

Then all of life is mercy if we have the eyes to see

But we can walk together into God’s eternity

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is a gift of God-So no one may boast

It is the gift of God-It is the gift of God

It is the gift of God -So no one may boast

Sing

Sing a song with all your might

To release your heart’s delight

In the spirit now we sing

Songs of worship we now bring

Sing sing, sing sing

A new song as you’re offering

Holy sounds of joy raise

To the Lord of hosts, give praise

All creation lift its voice

In the creator, all rejoice

The  very universe now hear

Hear the music of the spheres

Sing sing, sing sing

A new song as you’re offering

Holy sounds of joy raise

To the Lord of hosts, give praise

Songs of joy and of gladness

Songs of lament and of sadness

Sing with the spirit and the mind

And then God‘s pleasure we will find

Sing sing, sing sing

A new song as you’re offering

Holy sounds of joy raise

To the Lord of hosts, give praise

Disappointed

I’m disappointed in me

Should’ve been able to see

Yeah, I’ve got no one to blame

It’s time for some well placed shame

I know I could’ve done better

I did the law of the letter

But my heart was in the wrong place

I was presuming on Grace

But if I confess my sins

God is faithful and just

He will forgive and cleanse 

If in him, I will trust

Somewhere along my descent

I truly failed to repent

What’s going my own way?

I couldn’t even pray

It’s time for a turnabout

It’s time to forfeit my doubt

And to distain my desire desires

The Lord gives what he requires

But if I confess my sins

God is faithful and just

He will forgive and cleanse 

If in him, I will trust

So In him I will trust

If in him, I will trust

So In him I will trust

The God Who Is For Us

We come to praise the Lord of all

To stand boldly at His throne

We come upon His Name to call

For He is God and God alone

For He is God and God alone

He is Father Son and  Holy Ghost

Ancient of days the great I AM

Worshipped by the Heavenly hosts

The roaring lion, the risen lamb 

The roaring lion, the risen lamb

Of the besieged, the great and small

He sees the very heart of man

Our God delivers one and all

Who He holds in His strong right hand

Those He holds in His strong right hand

And if God is for us

Who can stand against us?

Who can stand against us?

He works for those who wait on Him…

So we proclaim “In God we trust!”

He did not spare his very Son 

But delivered Him up for us all

He gives all blessings sparing none

To the ransomed from the Fall

The ransomed from the Fall

Our mighty God raises the dead

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

Yet by his Grace our souls are fed

This is the God who is For us

This is the God who is For us.

And if God is for us

Who can stand against us?

Who can stand against us?

He works for those who wait on Him…

So we proclaim “In God we trust!”

Who Is This God?

Who is this God we love to serve 

the Lord of glory end of might.

Whose blessings flow, though they’re undeserved 

to those who walk within his light

Who is this God in which we trust 

the one most merciful, yet just 

who puts his image in our dust

He is the first he is the last 

he is eternally the same. 

He reigns forever as in the past 

the Lord Jehovah is his name. 

The God who creates and redeems 

the god of grace and God of love. 

who’s found of Mercy ever streams 

down from his glorious throne above?

We who are besieged, the great and small

Who will place in him their trust?

Our God delivers one and all

Yes, our God shall deliver us

Almighty God raises the dead

And on this we depend, we must 

For by his Grace our souls are fed

This is the God who is For us

We Cherish the Goodness of God

We cherish the goodness of God

Held in store for those who fear him

Flee temptation and take refuge in God

For He works for those who draw near him

 

Oh how abundant is his goodness

It is boundless and without measure

Even our pains are filled with profit

If He is our all-encompassing treasure

 

For your glory and our good

Mercy and grace will ever endure

And every good gift comes from you

In your goodness were safe and secure 

His kindness leads us to repentance

His forebearance and patience abounds

We rest in the arms of the Father

The place where true goodness is found

 

For your glory and our good

Mercy and grace will ever endure

And every good gift comes from you

In your goodness were safe and secure
