For Those Who Take Refuge in You

Lord in my desperation and my deep deep need

For your abundant mercy and grace I plead

For I am very weak, so refuge I will seek

Now to your hiding place I pray that you will lead

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

You will be our shelter and you will be our shield

In the day of trouble on this mortal battlefield

Help us to appropriate the covering you provide

For those who would take refuge you welcome us inside

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

Bridge

How abundant is your goodness,

Which you have worked by your grace

Yet we run for other sanctuaries

And another hiding place…but there’s no hiding place

Key Change

I will run for cover ‘neath the shelter of your wings

I will run for cover and drink from your wellsprings

There is no condemnation for the one who in You dwells

In the refuge You become our True Beth-el

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue (repeat)

Psalm 31:19; Psalm 34:22; 2 Samuel 22:31; Psalm 2:12; Nahum 1:7

Chainbreaker

Christ left His Father’s throne to come to us in grace

He put on flesh and the fires of suffering He faced

He is the second Adam who came to Adam’s dust

He came to rescue every one who would in Him trust

My spirit lay in darkness in a tomb of fantasy

Dead to the truth, dead to the light, dead to eternity

He is the resurrection, He is creation’s source

And now he bleeds for sin-sick souls that repent in remorse

Now there’s holy jubilation in God’s presence

There is holy jubilation in my heart

To every contrite sinner who comes and who repents

The chainbreaker will give a brand new start

Out of the tomb He called me, out of the tomb I rose

Born as a new creation arrayed in righteous clothes

And so among death’s darkness the living have no place

Called from the tomb we now cast off the chains broken by grace

Now there’s holy jubilation in God’s presence

There is holy jubilation in my heart

To every contrite sinner who comes and who repents

The chainbreaker will give a brand new start

Bridge

Chains of death once had bound

Me in a helpless hopeless state

I was surely lost but now I’m found

Set free, set apart, and set straight

Now there’s holy jubilation in God’s presence

There is holy jubilation in my heart

To every contrite sinner who comes and who repents

The chainbreaker will give a brand new start

Oh Father

A Mighty Prayer

Oh my maker by your love I have become your child

My inheritance is in heaven above because we are reconciled

So may I honor You my Father by the honorable life I live

In you , through you and to you, Abba honor to you I give

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and His mercy runs deep

He will not always chide His child:

And his anger He will not Keep.

He has not dealt with us after our sins;

nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as great as the heaven is high o’er the earth,

To those that fear him is his great mercy

Oh Father, Father in heaven, I will hallow your great Name

I want to show Your image in me-to your glory and your fame

Father almighty- who provides, and protects, and begets

On you my Abba Father, my mind is stayed and set.

As far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our sins

Like as a father pities his children,

so the LORD pities them that fear Him

For he knows our very frame;

He remembers that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass:

As a flower of the field, so he must trust

Key Change

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone;

And the place thereof shall know it no more.

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting

To everlasting upon them that fear the LORD

His righteousness is unto the children's children;

To such as keep his covenant, and obey

And to those that remember and do

His commandments, they will walk His way

Oh my maker by your love I have become your child

My inheritance is in heaven above because we are reconciled

So may I honor You my Father by the honorable life I live

In you , through you and to you, Abba honor to you I give

Psalm 103:8-18, KJV

Pardon and Power

Pardon and power

Flows to us hour by hour

Forgiveness and mercy

Grace to enable victory.

Pardon and power

A release and a strong tower

No castle for a prisoner’s keep

But strength for the weary and weak

The grace of God is with me

To work the work of faith

I’ll see the day As I obey

Perfected by the gift of Grace

Pardon and Power

Like an everlasting flower

Enabling obedience

Grace for the sinner who repents

Pardon and Power

Like a long refreshing shower

This strength our God has supplied

That He might be glorified

The grace of God is with me

To work the work of faith

I’ll see the day As I obey

Perfected by the gift of Grace

Tremble at Your Word

I tremble, tremble, tremble

That You call me to resemble

Your One Beloved Son

At this thought I am undone.

I feel precarious in this place

I am daunted by your grace

Your Word is like a two edged sword

As it cuts I am restored.

Lord I tremble at your Word,

Tremble, Tremble.

My soul is sifted and is stirred-And I tremble.

A broken spirit A contrite heart

You’ll not despise, You’ll not depart

Lord I tremble at your Word,

Tremble, Tremble.

I’ve undone by what I’ve heard-And I tremble.

Help me now to walk upright

Oh to become Your delight

Holy Lord how far I feel

I am far from your ideal

My failings make me humble

I’m so sure I will stumble

So help my trembling heart

Strength and courage to impart

Lord I tremble at your Word,

Tremble, Tremble.

My soul is sifted and is stirred-And I tremble.

A broken spirit A contrite heart

You’ll not despise, You’ll not depart

Lord I tremble at your Word,

Tremble, Tremble.

I’ve undone by what I’ve heard-And I tremble.

Come, Broken Sinner

Come, broken sinner, bow your self down

Kneel with your need right where you are bound

You who are thirsty, come drink your fill

Come find your purpose in the flow of God’s will

This is the glory and this is the song

Sing of the light that saw creation’s dawn

Come to the fountain, and fall on your face

Immerse yourself in the river of grace.

Oh the fountain of mercy flows fast and free

The source of the fountain is from eternity

Your works are futile in heaven’s sight

But abominations are changed in its light

So all those in darkness, all those who thirst

Fill all your vessels until they burst

Flood all your dreams and quench all your pride

Drink of it deeply till your heart’s satisfied

Come broken sinner, get down on your knees

This is the posture with which God is pleased

This is His glory that you come to this place

To be born of water and the Spirit of Grace

So bring all your sin and bring all your thirst

All you have to offer is to see it immersed

Drink of the fountain, now come taste and see

You can be forgiven, be cleansed and set free.

Faithful Friend

Well it blows my mind but it soothes my soul

He will be my stay when I go out of control

He was there in the beginning, He’ll be there in the end

I can say “ Almighty God is my faithful friend
