Who is Like You?



Who is like you Oh God?

Who reigns in Holiness

There is none like you Lord

Who reigns in Righteousness

No eye has seen, no ear has heard

Of a god who can compare

You are God and God alone

Yet in Your glory we shall share

God of Wonders, you hold us in Your care


You are the Lord of Heaven

The beginning and the end

You’re the author of Creation

Yet you are our faithful friend

You are God Almighty

Yet you chose to condescend

Lord of Hosts on You we depend


Who is like You oh God?

Who is both wise and just?

You are a consuming fire

Yet in your peace we trust

You are the fount of lovingkindness

And you shed your love abroad

The Lord of Grace and mercy

Who’s not ashamed to be our God

God of all consolation-You we laud!


You are the Lord of Heaven

The beginning and the end

You’re the author of Creation

Yet you are our faithful friend

You are God Almighty

Yet you chose to condescend

Lord of Hosts on You we depend

Amazing Love


If there be any debt, a debt 

Of gratitude is all

It’s only right- that’s what’s required

This side of the fall. 

That God would give His Son for me.

To become my only plea 

Now heaven is my destiny. 

This is the upward call.


Amazing Love astounds the soul

Amazing Love confounds my mind

Amazing Love I now extol

No greater love can sinners find

For this love we were designed


How can there be a benefit

That to me accrues

Can I make some sense of it

How could I e’er refuse?

For love has shed its light on me

Quickened my heart and set me free

So here I ponder on my knees

The amazing good good news!


Now this love I shall pursue

To transform me and all I do

Amazing love will see me through

Each morning it is new!


Amazing Love astounds the soul

Amazing Love confounds my mind

Amazing Love I now extol

No greater love can sinners find

For this love we were designed

The Way of the Cross


When you’re staring down trouble

When you’re wrestling with fear

When the pain is redoubled

Christ is holding you near


The way has its suffering 

The way has its loss

There is only one way

The way of the cross


You know not the affliction 

From which you’ve been spared

Beyond illusions and fiction

There’s the glory He’s prepared


The way has its suffering 

The way has its loss

There is only one way

The way of the cross


Mark 8:34; Matthew 7:13-14, 16:24

I Fall I Fail and I’m Flawed



I fall, I fail, and I’m flawed

Yet in the hands of the living God

He is not limited by my limitation

In Christ, I am lifted beyond my station


I’m flawed, I fail and I fall

But I know on whom I will call

Christ lifts me up and holds me fast

Even when into the depths I’m cast

 

With me, it is impossible

But with Christ, all things are possible

Without Him I can do nothing

But in Christ I can do all things


I fall  I’m flawed and I fail

I wander I’m weeping and I wail

But I lift my eyes and then I seek

The power that’s perfected when I am weak


OK, all right, Amen!


With me, it is impossible

But with Christ, all things are possible

Without Him I can do nothing

But in Christ I can do all things

The Rock of Righteousness (My Hope)



Not in my strength or in my might

But Christ alone I am made right

No other hope has rescued me

No other Name remains my plea


Not in my children or my wife

But in the very source of life

Not in my works or in my plans

On the rock of righteousness, I stand


Chorus 

Christ is the Rock of righteousness

His blood has ransomed me

This is the truth that I confess

From sin I’ve been set free

Now I am His eternally


Bridge 

Now to live is Jesus Christ

And now to die is gain

There is no other sacrifice

God’s word is made it plain 

No other work remains


Now not in all the world can give

But in Christ alone I live

The Words of Life to him belong

He is my source, my strength, my song


Christ is the Rock of righteousness

His blood has ransomed me

This is the truth that I confess

From sin I’ve been set free

Now I am His eternally

Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2:8-9

The Hard Road


Long, long is the path through the night

On the hard road we stumble and we lose sight

But we will get home if the signposts we read

They are raised up there to meet our deep need


The prideful man crawls

Under a world weary load

The hard road  has its pitfalls

It’s a rough rugged road

Preach to your soul every day

Sufficient grace has paved the way


Long, long is the pathway of light

Finish the race, fight the good fight

A long obedience is what you will face

To finish the sojourn depends on God’s grace


The prideful man crawls

Under a world weary load

The hard road  has its pitfalls

It’s a rough rugged road

So Preach to your soul each and every day

Sufficient grace has paved the way

Jeremiah 6:16; Matthew 7:13-14

Hope In God



Why are you downcast Oh my Soul?

Why are you not undone and awed?

Why are you dejected and out of control?

Hope in God, Hope in God


So I will yet praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

My Savior and my God

I will yet praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

My Savior and my God


He commands His Lovingkindness

It will abide with us all day

In the night, in His song I’ll rest

Unto the God of Life I’ll pray!


Bridge

As the deer pants for the waterbrook 

So my  soul thirsts after You all my days

Into Your deep things I will look

And sing with the voice of joy and praise


Yes, I will yet praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

My Savior and my God

I will yet praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

I will yet  praise Him

My Savior and my God

Closer Communion



Who eats the bread and drinks the wine

In the right spirit, will surely find

A closer communion with the Lord

Oh, to understand Him better and know Him more!

The very sight of the bread and wine

Will humble the soul and serve to remind

How Christ shed his blood as our faithful friend

Nothing less than Christ’s death could pay for Sin 


As the bread is broken and the wine is  poured 

How glad is the soul for what the sign affords

For our redemption, such a price was paid

We have nothing to fear for the payment was made

As the meal is received We are gratified.

It affects the soul as it’s  sanctified

We’re reminded we are bound to live for Him

Who died for us and forgave our sins


It’s the cup of salvation that  is lifted up

As we eat that bread and drink that cup

Our repentance is deepened , our faith increased

Our holiness strengthened by this Holy Feast

So as we remember the command of the Lord

We will love him better and understand him more

Then in closer communion, we will find 

God is feeding the branches of the Living vine

Luke 22:14-20
