The Savior and the Saved



The Savior and the saved will dwell together

United, there in His glory forever

And He could never lose

The ones God chose to choose

For nothing in this world can this love sever


The Savior and the saved shall be as one

The Holy Bride united with the Son

The Bridegroom shall return

For every heart that yearns 

Behold Him as he and His kingdom comes


Bridge

We shall arise in rapture sweet

There in his presence at his feet


Chorus 

For He will take us to His side 

Beneath the sheltering wings we'll hide

There as the Bridegroom's Holy bride

We'll be joined together forever to abide


The Savior and the saved together stand

At the glorious wedding supper of the Lamb

There’ll be all the Father gave

That Jesus came to save

For naught of earth could take them from His hand


For He will take us to his side 

Beneath the sheltering wings we'll hide

There as the Bridegroom's Holy bride

We'll be joined together forever to abide


John 3:29; Matthew 25:6

Revelation 19:7; Isaiah 62:5

On My Knees



Your truth has put me on my knees

That’s where I learn the best

Conviction rarely comes with ease

When my soul is not impressed


So burn your truth into my heart

Lord, burn it by Word and prayer

For then, the change begins to start

When you brand your Word there


I’m on knees Lord Jesus, on my knees 

That’s where the blind eye truly sees

On my knees, Lord Jesus on my knees

My heart submits to your decrees 

I find healing for my disease

On my knees, on my knees


In my beliefs, emotions and my mind

Can become fearful and confused

You promised if I seek, then I shall find

You will never break the reed that is bruised


Lord You always will fulfill your plan

And I pray your will and mine align

In my prayer, I come to understand

What I want the most is your will and not mine


I’m on knees Lord Jesus, on my knees 

That’s where the blind eye truly sees

On my knees, Lord Jesus on my knees

My heart submits to your decrees 

I find healing for my disease

On my knees, on my knees

What Love is This?


Unspeakable, incomprehensible 

God's only Son was not spared

Our rebellion was indefensible 

No greater love can be compared 


God has spared not his own Son

But delivered Him up for us all

How will He not- when it's 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; John 3:1

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
