We Shall Rise

There’s coming a day-The promise is fulfilled 

The Blessed Hope gives sway-Just as the Godhead willed

The dead in Christ-Will rise in rapture sweet

Grace has sufficed-So our Savior we shall greet

We shall rise, we shall rise

When Christ appears in the Eastern skies

We shall rise as the Glorious Bride

Because he died and arose-We shall rise

Because Christ arose, we shall rise

His resurrection power, death defies

The one who lives in Christ never dies

Because Christ arose, we shall rise

Then glorified-We all shall see his face

Then we’ll abide-Forever in his grace

For Christ has bled-And He has died for us

Rose from the dead-So his promise we trust

We shall rise, we shall rise

When Christ appears in the Eastern skies

We shall rise as the Glorious Bride

Because he died and arose-We shall rise

Because Christ arose, we shall rise

His resurrection power, death defies

The one who lives in Christ never dies

Because Christ arose, we shall rise

Bridge:The Glorious day-When we shall meet our King

Our crowns we’ll lay-And with the angels sing

Now our redemption is drawing nigh

With with no exemption-We all must die

To Self and Sin, then we shall be set free

Christ’s Kingdom reigns in us eternally

We shall rise, we shall rise

When Christ appears in the Eastern skies

We shall rise as the Glorious Bride

Because he died and arose-We shall rise

Because Christ arose, we shall rise

His resurrection power, death defies

The one who lives in Christ never dies

Because Christ arose, we shall rise

For Your Glory and My Good

Beneath a heavy darkness, there my sad soul and I stood

I thought I sought to find my way, but I must have misunderstood

Wondering and pondering about my present reality

My broken strength, my fragile heart, seemed nothing worked for me

But then You pulled back the curtain 

And let Your light break through the veil

The majesty of who You are, making the truth certain

And I see the wisdom in the fact that you sometimes bid me fail

For Your glory and my good, it’s all for Your name’s sake

The cross reveals the greatest love, the path that I should take

In every tear, in every joy, Your promise stands secure

Your glory is my highest good, forever to endure.

The valley of the shadows becomes a fertile place

Where in every shadow wisdom grows and yields more Grace

My smoldering wick You did not quench, nor crush my bruised reed

But shaped the trial to match the cure, and meet my deepest need.

Bridge:

What a wonder, what a mystery, the goodness I have known

My joy is found in trusting in the One upon the throne 

Where You reveal the secret things that can be understood

For when You reap Your full renown, I find my greatest good

For when You pull back the curtain 

And let Your light break through the veil

The majesty of who You are, making the truth certain

And I see the wisdom in the fact that you sometimes bid me fail

For Your glory and my good, it’s all for Your name’s sake

The cross reveals the greatest love, the path that I should take

In every tear, in every joy, Your promise stands secure

Your glory is my highest good, forever to endure.

My Refuge and My Fortress

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

Will abide in the Almighty’s shadow

In the quiet of the morning, when the night draws nigh

I will not fear the snare nor the arrow

I will rest in refuge beneath His wings 

For His faithfulness is my shield

I will not fear the terror the darkness brings

For the wicked, evil ones shall yield

Chorus

I will say of the Lord, I will confess

You are my refuge and my fortress

I say "My God, in You I trust"

You will save me from the unjust.

For my God in You I trust!

You command your angels concerning me

I’ll be borne up lest my foot strikes a stone

The recompense of the wicked I shall surely see

Your hosts protect me for His name by me is known

When the storms arise and shadows grow deep

No weapon can harm me, no terror will alarm 

It’s Your hand that safeguards me while I sleep

For I’m held in the grip of Your mighty arm

Bridge : Under Your pinions, I find my home

My rock and my shield, my help from above 

With You beside me, I’m never alone

I rest in the truth of Your unchanging love

Chorus

I will say of the Lord, I will confess

You are my refuge and my fortress

I say "My God, in You I trust"

You will save me from the unjust.

For my God in You I trust!

For my God in You I trust!

For my God in You I trust!

Psalm 91

Faultless

Faultless, I’ll stand faultless

Faultless before God’s Holy Throne

I will trust and obey

Until that wondrous day

For you said, then, we shall know as we are known

Guiltless I’ll stand guiltless

Clean before my Lord and purified

Washed from all my sins

By the blood forever cleansed

For Christ paid the cost and wrath is satisfied 

Bridge:

And not one blemish shall he see

When Christ Jesus is formed in me

Conformed to his perfect purity

Standing by his merit I am free

Christ in me, the hope of Glory!

Blameless I’ll stand blameless

The faithful Lord imparts his righteousness 

If we confess our sin

New mercies shall attend

Now justified, the Just One we shall bless

As we stand before His trhone in Holiness…

Anchor Your Soul in His Majesty

Anchor your soul in His majesty

Secured by God’s almighty hand

Though the storm and the tempest is raging

When anchored, hope will surely stand

When the chaos is surging around you

When depths would encompass your soul

And the torrent threatens to drown you

The anchor of God’s in control

Chorus:

Friend, anchor your soul in His majesty

The soul anchor never shall fail

Find hope in your soul's security

The anchor will always prevail

Tho buffeted by the stormwaves

The tide surging over the bow

The anchor will hold, for our God saves

He is holding you fast here and now

Bridge

And though the storm rages

The rock of all ages

Will steady and anchor your soul

It will hold fast forever

That chain shall not be severed

Secured as the sea billows roll

Chorus:

Friend, anchor your soul in His majesty

The soul anchor never shall fail

Find hope in your soul's security

The anchor will always prevail

In the Still if the Night

In the still of the night you visit me

Singing songs that set my spirit free

Songs of mercy and of love

Whose origin is from above

With songs in the night you comfort me

As I hear you singing over me

Lord I love to know you’re singing over me!

These songs in the night

Are such  a great delight

Songs of the hope I find in you

The words become clear

But no one else can hear

And I find there is nothing I can do

But to just rejoice- you give a song that’s new

In the still of the night I rest quietly 

I can hear you singing over me

With songs of deliverance

That make me want to dance

As you bless me with a holy melody

As I hear you singing over me

Lord I love to know you’re singing over me!

Songs of forgiveness and grace

That make me long to seek your face

Songs of walking in your holy light

A simple song of praise 

About your holy ways

I’m grateful for these songs in the night

I’m so grateful for these songs in the night

In the still of the night I rest quietly 

I can hear you singing over me

With songs of deliverance

That make me want to dance

As you bless me with a holy melody

As I hear you singing over me

Lord I love to know you’re singing over me!

I love to know you’re singing over me!

Zephaniah 3:17

Jesus, I Love You

Lord Jesus I love you

May I love you more

There’s no one above you

It’s you I adore

At times I’m fainthearted

But my deep desire

Renew what was started

To all this I aspire

Jesus I want to love

With all my heart and mind and soul

And just enough is not enough

Not in part but the whole

And the paradox of loving you

Is that my source of love is found in you

And you alone can make me faithful and true

Oh Jesus I love you, I love you!

Lord Jesus I love you

I am yours, you are mine

Can’t stop thinking of you

In you joy I find

Lord you are my treasure

The lover of my soul

Your love’s beyond measure

This love makes me whole

Bridge: You put this love in my heart

When I was your enemy

The kind of love that only you impart

For you laid down your life for me

But for the joy set before you

You bore my Calvary

And with resurrection love you rescued me

Oh I love how you rescued me

Lord I love how you set me free!

Jesus I want to love

With all my heart and mind and soul

And just enough is not enough

Not in part but the whole

And the paradox of loving you

Is that my source of love is found in you

And you alone can make me faithful and true

Oh Jesus I love you, I love you!

Oh Jesus I love you, I love you!

Oh Jesus I love you, I love you!
