Always!



The weight of this world can never compare
To the weight of the Glory in which we have a share
Now all of our suffering and every loss
Is redeemed by the beautiful grace of the cross.

Always glory, always praise
Will spring from our hearts for all our days.
Always!

Transformed from one glory and into the next
Now assurance remains where once we were perplexed
The source, aim, and purpose of creation we see,
For everything changes when we bend the knee.

Always glory, always praise
Will spring from our hearts for all our days.
Always!

Of your lifechanging, lifegiving love we now sing
By your lovingkindness and your longsuffering
We find we are drawn closer still to your side
And we are undone as we learn to abide.

Always glory, always praise
Will spring from our hearts for all our days.
Always!

Life’s Living Water


Down, down, down into the waters
Now enter mercy’s deep.
Down where the cleansing is done
And we come under love’s keep

Where Sin is covered and left behind
A pool where true healing is had by the blind
And new light now dawns on our eyes
Our life is made new and we shall arise

So show all the world how the blessed obey
Show all the darkness  where once you were bound
Show all the witnesses your faith this day
That life’s living water in Jesus is found.

Up out from the grave
Our Jesus arose
The tomb was made empty
And death’s overthrown
He is the perfection
The way that is true!
He is the resurrection
He is life made new!

The ransomed are raised up, established to stand
Salvation’s secured by the blood of the lamb
For it’s not merely water that cleanses our soul
But The Spirit of Life that is given control

So enter the waters for you’re born again
Enter the waters and be washed in the flood
Enter the waters and be raised by his hand
Walk in new life that is bought by His blood.

Up out from the grave
Our Jesus arose
The tomb was made empty
And death’s overthrown
He is the perfection
The way that is true!
He is the resurrection
He is life made new!
