The Wisdom of God

The Lord of glory was crucified

The plan was set before the foundations

The substitute has bled and died

The ransom bought our salvation

Redemption then was fulfilled

“It is finished”- the final sacrifice cried

And then just as the Godhead willed

So by the just we are justified 

If we believe it, we have received it

No mortal man has conceived it

The wisdom of God is foolish to man

Even this is a part of God’s plan

The wisdom of God filled the virgin womb

Thus was born the perfect lamb

Who would bring to pass an empty tomb

When he was raised to life again

Now he comes to us to abide in us

Thus the mystery is revealed

Death was put to death we trust

And by glory we are healed

Bridge

The believing forgiven

Are now bound for heaven

Christ will not lose a one of his own

He who authored their faith 

Has extended his grace

To give to them glories unknown

Those who find life in Jesus alone

If we believe it we have received it

No mortal man has conceived it

The wisdom of God is foolish to man

Even this is a part of God’s plan

1 Corinthians 1:18, 21, 25; 3:19

The Earth is His Footstool

God wraps Himself in morning light, the thunder is His voice

Yet He steps down to the valley floor to make the sad rejoice

The highest heavens cannot hold the glory of His face

Yet He makes the soil of this sad world the meeting place of grace

The kings of earth demand a crown, a high and lofty seat

But the Master of the universe puts the cosmos at His feet

(Chorus)

The earth is His footstool, the heavens are His throne

The oceans are a drop of rain that belongs to Him alone

How can we build a house for the Lord of space and time?

When the valley is His footprint and the stars are His design

We bow down low where His presence touches ground

On the footstool of the King, where holy grace is found

The heavens are His throne, and His footstool is the Earth

A place where even His enemies come to know His worth

He looks upon the broken heart, the humble and the meek

The footstool is the very place the Savior came to seek

He walked upon the dusty roads, He slept upon the land

The King of Kings became a man to hold us in His hand

Bridge

Here at the feet of Jesus is the safest place we know

All praise and fear and glory- all to Him we owe

If we do not honor Him, we all shall be cast down

Yea, we bow before His footstool, for here is holy ground

The earth is His footstool, the heavens are His throne

The oceans are a drop of rain that belongs to Him alone

How can we build a house for the Lord of space and time?

When the valley is His footprint and the stars are His design

We bow down low where His presence touches ground

On the footstool of the King, where holy grace is found

At His Footstool

The skies are woven with a brilliant light

A tapestry of majesty and holy might

Yet all the heavens that the angels span

Are just a canopy above the world of man

You sit enthroned where the stars are born

In the quiet glory of the cosmic morn

But You look down upon this spinning sphere

And rest Your presence like a shadow here

(Chorus)

The earth is the footstool for Your feet

Where the dust of the ground and Your glory meet

We are the valley, You are the height

Wrapped in the shadow of Your holy light

The heavens are Your throne, so high above

But Your feet touch the earth in a step of love

The mountains tremble where Your heels abide

The oceans gather at the ocean tide

Yet those same feet that hold the universe

Walked down the dusty roads to break our curse

Not with a crushing weight of iron bands

But stepping softly on the desert sands

The highest King became the servant friend

To walk beside us to the journey’s end

(repeat Chorus)

Bridge- One day you will put down your enemies

And every one will bow on their knees

And every tongue will come to confess

You are the King of Righteousness

Yes one day every knee will bow down low

At the footstool where the living waters flow

(Repeat Chorus)

Here at Your feet, the earth will rest

By the touch of the Maker, we are blessed

Holy, holy, the ground where we meet

Here at the footstool of Your feet.

Here where mercy and justice meet

Here at the footstool of Jesus’s feet…

At the Feet of Jesus

Snares of the road and dangers of the day,

Won’t quiet my spirit or show me the way.

Laying my burdens and crowns as well down

I will weather the rush of this world where I’m found

Here ‘neath His Wings  in their shadow so sweet,

I find my whole world at Jesus’s feet.

Chorus

At the feet of Jesus, my heart is made new,

My quest is resolved in the Faithful and True

My shelter in trials, my song in the night,

Resting in grace and wrapped in Christ’s light.

Oh, let me linger and never depart,

Here at the feet of the Lord of my heart.

Tears that I’ve hidden and fears that I've known,

Melt in the warmth of the Love He has shown

Now there is no reason to hurry or strive,

Just here in Christ’s presence I’m truly alive.

With hands open wide and my spirit bowed low,

There’s nowhere else that I need to go.

At the feet of Jesus, my heart is made new,

My quest is resolved in the Faithful and True

My shelter in trials, my song in the night,

Resting in grace and wrapped in Christ’s light.

Oh, let me linger and never depart,

Here at the feet of the Lord of my heart.

Bridge

Christ is my peace when the billows roll high,

My Lord wipes the tears that fall from my eyes.

Closer than breath, He is Living within

That’s where the healing and freedom begin.

At the feet of Jesus, my heart is made new,

My quest is resolved in the Faithful and True

My shelter in trials, my song in the night,

Resting in grace and wrapped in Christ’s light.

Oh, let me linger and never depart,

Here at the feet of the Lord of my heart.

Faithful Friend

In Jesus we have a faithful friend

For He laid down his life for His own

Now on his favor we must depend

And we shall not ever be alone

Seek close communion with Him each day

Seek to know more of His grace and pow’r

Glorify the Lord in all your ways

Abide with Him each and every hour

Chorus

In Jesus You have a faithful friend

The greatest friend you can call our own

For on his great  Love we can depend

The most mighty love that can be known

What though your body is now bowed down

What though our poverty now is great

What though in trials you now abound

What though earthly friends  forsake and hate

Yet for a little while we must prevail

Yet in a little while He will descend

To take us home- He shall not fail

For Jesus Christ is the faithful friend

Bridge

In a little while we’ll see as we are seen

In a little while we’ll know as we are known

We’ll hear assembled worlds of the redeemed

All those who have Jesus as their faithful friend

In Jesus You have a faithful friend

The greatest friend you can call our own

For on his great love we can depend

The most mighty love that can be known

Christ Prevails

Sin is such a deep dark valley, suffering seems to have no end

Every heavy heart is searching for the place where hope begins

But the dark can never conquer what the morning light reveals

Every broken power trembles, every shattered spirit heals

Christ prevails, Christ prevails

His mercy and lovingkindness never fails

For the cross is empty, the stone is rolled away

The King of Kings has spoken, and broken every chain

In the highest heavens, and on this earthly ground

Christ prevails forever, let the holy anthem sound

No weapon formed against us, no shadow of the night

Can overcome the glory of His everlasting light

Midst the troubles of the trial, when barriers fail to part

We can hear a voice of Jesus echoing inside our heart

He has walked the road before us, He has carried every grief

Now the hands that bore the nails shall bring us victory and peace

Christ prevails, Christ prevails

His mercy and lovingkindness never fails

For the cross is empty, the stone is rolled away

The King of Kings has spoken, and broken every chain

In the highest heavens, and on this earthly ground

Christ prevails forever, let the holy anthem sound

No weapon formed against us, no shadow of the night

Can overcome the glory of His everlasting light

Bridge

Through the fire, through the flood-By the power of His blood

Death is swallowed up in victory

From the ashes, from the grave-He's the One who came to save

Forever reigning in majesty

Christ prevails, Christ prevails

His mercy and lovingkindness never fails

For the cross is empty, the stone is rolled away

The King of Kings has spoken, and broken every chain

In the highest heavens, and on this earthly ground

Christ prevails forever, let the holy anthem sound

No weapon formed against us, no shadow of the night

Can overcome the glory of His everlasting light

Naught can overcome the glory of His everlasting light

Christ is Victorious

The demons gathered deep upon the hill

The earth was shaken and the skies stood still

The cross demanded death of Adam’s race 

This holy circumcision as the Father hid his face

They laid Him down within a silent grave

The one who came, the captive soul to save

But death could never hold the King of light

The morning broke and shattered through the night

He steps into the middle of our grief

And gives the broken heart a deep relief

The scars He carries prove the war is done

The sting of sin is broken by the Son

Our righteousness is anchored in His name

The perfect Lamb who bore our grief and shame

No accusation stands against His grace

We find our freedom in His holy place

Bridge- For Christ is victorious, the stone is rolled away!

He put death to death and rose up from the grave!

No power of hell, no darkness of the night

Can overcome His everlasting light

The battle's won, the heavy chains must fall

He reigns supreme, the Sovereign Lord of all!

He is the first, the last, the great I AM

Salvation belongs to the conquering Lamb!

To the praise of His glory, let the nations sing

All honor and majesty to the risen King

Death is defeated, the truth alive remains

Christ prevails, and He forever reigns!
