Ancient of Days

William Blake

Before there was time you were

Before stars lit the night you were 

You are seated on a fiery throne

Knowing all that can be known

Eternal one we bring our praise

You are the Ancient One

The Ancient of Days


Everlasting and divine

You rule and reign beyond all time

Ten thousand years to you are but an hour

All of creation lauds your power

The universe now yields its praise

You are the Ancient One

The Ancient of Days


Bridge

You have no beginning nor an end.

Your ways man cannot comprehend 

You are the one who framed the plan

Bestowing dominion on Son of Man


No eye has seen, no ear has heard

No greater god has been incurred 

You speak and your will comes to pass

Your word remains while flesh is grass

Who can discern your wondrous ways?

You are the Ancient One

The Ancient of Days

You are the Ancient One

The Ancient of Days


Isaiah 40:8,28; Daniel 7

2 Peter 3:8; 1 Corinthians 2:9

Isaiah 64:4; Psalm 90:2

Christ, our Soul’s Shelter




Christ is sanctuary 

For the oppressed

The weak and the weary 

In him find rest

With his saints we dwell

'Neath his sheltering wings

For there all is well

Hid in him the soul sings


We shall take refuge In Christ, our soul's Shelter

Safe in life’s deluge In Christ, our soul’s  Shelter


Christ is our protection

Tho we are bereft

 He is our connection 

To The rock that is cleft

The Abode we abide in

Our sheltering place

The refuge we hide in 

Is the God of all grace


We shall take refuge In Christ, our soul's Shelter

Safe in life’s deluge In Christ, our soul’s  Shelter


Our soul's shelter is Christ

Our board and our bield

He has more than sufficed

As our shelter and shield

And so we will enter

The fortress of love

Where Christ is the center

And Christ is e'er enough


We shall take refuge In Christ, our soul's Shelter

Safe in life’s deluge In Christ, our soul’s  Shelter

The Light Beyond the L:ight




Set your mind on things above

Not on things that are on earth

Set your mind on things above

On the things of greater worth


Flee to Christ with all your might

Satisfy your parched soul

He will set your soul aright

If His presence is your goal


There is light beyond the light

That illumines blinded eyes

If we only set our sight

We will see the son arise

We will seek him if we’re wise


Set your mind on things above

If you seek Him, you will find

Hope and everlasting love

As you leave this world behind.


There is light beyond the light

Darkness cannot comprehend

Truth lies in the unseen sights

We will truly apprehend 

In the day that never ends

Spirit of God, Touch My Heart


heartfire


Spirit of God, touch my heart

May your indwelling set me apart

Holy Spirit speak to me

Holy Spirit renew me

Spirit of God, touch my heart

Teach Truth to my innermost part

Holy Spirit convict me

Holy Spirit restrict me

Bridge

For the Truth you have revealed

The day that I was sealed

Sealed when you came to live in me

Your wisdom and your power

Attends me hour by hour

If I keep in step with you, you set me free


Spirit of God, touch my heart

Holy Spirit be my guide

Holy Spirit in me abide

Spirit of God, touch my heart


Spirit of God, touch my heart

Holy Spirit conform me

Holy Spirit transform me

Spirit of God, touch my heart

Spirit of God, touch my heart

Spirit of God, touch my heart

Falling (Doors of Grace)


I just fell through the doors of Grace

It wasn’t my plan to be in this place

The door  opened up, and I fell through

It wasn’t at all what I planned to do


Falling, falling on my face

Falling headlong onto Grace

God has drawn me to this place

Now I’m falling headlong onto Grace


The doors of Grace just opened a wide

So I can’t boast I can’t have pride

It was a going without knowing thing

That helped me write this song I sing


Falling, falling on my face

Falling headlong onto Grace

God has drawn me to this place

Now I’m falling headlong onto Grace


Christ is the door he said it plain

To enter in we can’t remain

Enamored by other pursuits 

Enticed by forbidden fruits


Falling, falling on my face

Falling headlong onto Grace

God has drawn me to this place

Now I’m falling headlong onto Grace

Falling, falling on my face

Falling headlong onto Grace

Cling to Christ



Sinners we were when first called

Called to be ransomed from the fall

Sinners we’ve been even at our best

So of our need, we shall confess


We make the morning sacrifice

And know that His Grace shall suffice

For fresh absolution plead

Atoning blood is what we need


Cling to Christ and ne'er forget

How by His Grace He paid our debt.

Cling to Christ, Cling, I say

Rest in His mercy every day


Cling to Christ, I say, and show

How you love Him as you go

His Commandments to obey

His righteousness to display


Cling to Christ and to his cross

Where for our gain He suffered loss

Never, never be ashamed

Of His blood and of His name


Cling to Christ and never forget

How by his Grace He paid our debt.

Cling to Christ, Cling, I say

For He holds you fast every day
