What Love is This?


Unspeakable, incomprehensible 

Gods only son was not spared

Our rebellion was indefensible 

No greater love can be compared 


He has spared not his own son

But delivered him up for us all

How will he not when its said and done

Freely give all things to the called?


What love is this what love is this?

That  saw  justice and mercy kiss

The dead in sin now know perfect bliss

What love is this what love is this?


Our depths of sin is beyond our knowing 

Our darkness we did not understand 

And the evils we were sowing

Deserved the wrath of God’s right hand


Yet while we sinners were God’s enemies

Christ the Son  God’s wrath did reap

He has died and arose to set us free

Evermore our souls to keep


What love is this what love is this?

That  saw  justice and mercy kiss

The dead in sin now know perfect bliss

What love is this what love is this? 


Romans 8:32

Wonder and Worship



Stars collapse in silence light-years away

While I breathe the quiet at the end of the day

A cosmos spinning on a canvas so wide

But there is something greater where we can abide

For I have been given the eyes to see

The weight of the cross and the weight of glory


Chorus

What a privilege to stand here in holy awe

I looked at mystery and wondered at what I saw

I fall to my knees when the words have fallen shy

To be graced with a place in the infinite Why

It is a gift to be undone by the ponderous view

The wonder of worship is the wonder of You


Holy, Holy, Lord of matchless worth

Your glorious weight fills up the longing earth

I am undone by the wonder of Your grace

A wandering heart now home in Your embrace

My strength may fail, along with all my endeavors

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever


(Bridge)

Humbled under the canopy of grace

A fragile heart in a boundless space

The honor isn't in knowing the plan

The honor is being a humbled man

To look up in worship, to bow down

To lose my breath, to cast my crown


What a privilege to stand here in holy awe

I looked at mystery and wondered at what I saw

I fall to my knees when the words have fallen shy

To be graced with a place in the infinite Why

It is a gift to be undone by the ponderous view

The wonder of worship is the wonder of You

Cleave to the Lord (High Calling)

 

Cleave to the Lord with all your heart

Do the things that are before- press toward the mark

The high calling of God is the great prize

So on Jesus Christ, set your eyes!


Your lot in life may seem unfair

And your position difficult to bear

Cleave to the Lord, He will not forsake you

Cleave to Him, the world will not overtake you

Though the cross be heavy and the fight be hard

He himself will be His very Best reward


So look forward, look onward to the end

For the Best is yet to come

Time is short, and the end draws near

When the good fight will be done


Now labor on, work on, strive on

Strive till the souls of others are won
Pray on through these latter days

For God‘s glory and his praise


So look forward, look onward to the end

For the Best is yet to come

Time is short, and the end draws near

When the good fight will be done

Rest for Your Soul

 



Walk in the old path says the Lord

And you will find rest for your souls

There is nothing new that can afford

The holy rest that makes you whole 


For a rest of conscience is the secret need

Of a vast portion of mankind

And there is no work and there is no deed

Where in true rest you can find


Come and find rest of your soul

Come and find rest for your soul

Come cast your burdens- give Christ control

Come and find rest for your soul


That present sense of wrongness grows

Do you understand the cause?

But every heavy-laden sinner knows

That hunger that inside them gnaws


And riches and pleasures cannot give

The things you’re so will be blessed

Passed off your burden, come to live

In the Christ, who will give you rest


Come and find rest of your soul

Come and find rest for your soul

Come cast your burdens- give Christ control

Come and find rest for your soul


Matthew 11:28; Jeremiah 6:16

Lord of the Harvest



You are the seed of the woman

You are the tiller of soil

You have put your hand to the plough

You worked and took on the toil


You were the seed that was planted

You were sown into the earth

In time you sprang forth as the first-fruit

Of a harvest of infinite worth


Now your Spirit breaks the hard soil

And sows your seed in the seedbed

They are placed deep in the furrows

And watered by the blood you shed


Now from your work we are the increase

A consecrated crop, raised in the light

You prune us so we can bear much fruit 

Unto harvest the fields are now white


Lord of the harvest, your workers

Now labor go out to bring in the sheaves

To harvest the joy set before you

To reap what the sower receives 


Chorus 

Lord of the harvest come quickly 

Come now to reap what you’ve sown

Of your increase there will be no ending

The fruit thats is borne is your own


2 Corinthians 9:6; Galatians 6:7-9

Genesis 3:15; John 15:5

Luke 8:11; John 4:35-36

Matthew 9:37-38; Luke 3:17

Open Your Eyes


The branch cannot bear fruit of itself, 

Except it abide in the vine

So it is with us  unless we abide

With heart and soul and our mind


Open your eyes to who Christ is 

if you would love him more

Never lose sight of this grand truth

You must abide in  the Lord


For Jesus must be the wellspring 

The source of our holiness

Jesus is the rock of our faith

The true rock of righteousness 


Open your eyes to who Christ is 

if you would love him more

Never lose sight of this grand truth

You must abide in  the Lord

Precious Lord Jesus



Nothing is so sanctifying

As precious communion with Christ

A deep knowledge of the Lord Jesus

Is better than any sacrifice 

Because of his work he is precious

And precious he ought to be

He has called us and quickened and washed us

And justified, we are set free


Open your eyes to who Christ is 

If you would love him more

Never lose sight of this precious truth

You must always abide in the Lord


He is Precious for what he is doing

As he strengthens and intercedes

He is ever sympathizing

He is ever meeting our needs

He is precious for what he will do yet

He will harvest all that he has sown

At the end of days he will raise us

And present us faultless before the throne


For Love is a person
Joy has a face

Study to know Him

He is Full of Truth and Grace


Open your eyes to who Christ is 

If you would love him more

Never lose sight of this precious truth

You must always abide in the Lord
