Oh What a Hope!

This is my boast- that I know You

This is my boast that I understand

You are revealed as Faithful and True

Now on this Truth I take my stand

In the fullness of time

In the fullness of Grace

Covered in the blood of Christ

We shall see your Face

This is my hope – that you have known me

This is the hope that sees me through

You died for me so you could set me free

Now heaven’s hope is found in You

In the fullness of time

In the fullness of Grace

Covered in the blood of Christ

We shall see your Face

Oh What a hope, so tried and tested

What a bless-ed hope -ere I live or die

This is the promise where I’ve rested

On your faithful love I can rely

You Are the Light

You are the Light that shines in this darkness

Tho I am surrounded you still deliver me

You are my rock and my only salvation

Your light shines in me for all the world to see.

Who is like you oh Lord?

Whose word is like a two edged sword?

I am a remnant of the fall

You are the mighty Lord of All

You are the glory power and might

You are the God of births and graves

I’ll bask forever in Your light

You have the only Name that saves

Bridge:

As I lick my wounds you provide a balm

As I ride this storm you create a calm

For You will safely see my through

Your Light will show me what to do!

Whatever God calls you to do

Whatever mountain you must climb

He’ll give the strength to see it through

He lights the way through troubled times

You are the glory power and might

You are the God of births and graves

I’ll bask forever in Your light

You have the only Name that saves

The Lord of Me

There is a way that leads to life

A way that leads to death.

A way of sure destruction

A way that gives us breath.

Be the Lord, the Lord of me.

I am weary, worldly wise

This world is jaded in my eyes

Be my Mercy, Be my healing

In the Grace you are revealing

Your very self as Lord to me.

Show me your way

There is a better way

Lord Be my better Way

Be my Way today.

Be my Master, help me cope

Give me peace and be my hope

In your knowledge I can see

Purpose in this hand that’s dealt to me

Be my Lord, Be the Lord of Me.

I will trust, I will obey

And walk in your light every day

For in your light my blind eyes can see

That you are the Lord, the Lord of Me

Be my Lord, Be the Lord of Me.

Father of Eternity

The Father of Eternity became a child of time

The Counselor of Wonder became mystery sublime

The Mighty God became a helpless thing

The Prince of Peace became a peace offering

This is the perfect paradox of which we sing

You came down from your glorious throne

You came to us to make the Father known

Oh Counselor of Wonder To your wisdom we will yield

As you tear the veil asunder your rich glory is revealed

By your counsel we will se our wounds are healed

You came to us to part the veil that hides God’s face

Yopu came to us to give to us the gift of grace

Oh Prince of Peace come down to us, be our Shalom tonight

For peace flows from your grace we trust, make us reconciled and right

Oh Prince of Peace you are our one delight

Bridge:

We could not reach to heaven’s height

We did not know we are not right

So love came down to be our cure

Save from death and make us pure

Now we can see true wisdom in the wondrous and the weak

Oh mighty God of Grace You became the very Word You speak

Oh Father of Eternity who created time and space

Wrap up yourself in dust and flesh in this dismal place

Oh Mighty God the Great I Am, the High exalted One

You have become a helpless lamb, a simple selfless Son

We see this glory and we are undone
