Mercy, More Mercy

Lord have mercy  is my cry

I would live so help me die

Over sin I have come to grieve

Help my unbelief- help me to believe

Mercy, more mercy, Lord,  is what I seek

An inheritance promised to the meek.

For abounding Mercy and Grace  I plead

For Mercy and Grace is what I need

Grace multiplied to the sinful and weak

I cast myself headlong on grace

I have no right to plead my case

Work your mercy in my soul

Let mercy be my heart’s goal

Mercy, more mercy, Lord,  is what I seek

An inheritance promised to the meek.

Mercy and Grace  is what I plead

Mercy and Grace is what I need

Grace multiplied to the sinful and weak

Bridge

Your kindness to repentance leads

The Son still stands and intercedes

Forgive and cleanse as I confess

Turn my soul to righteousness

Mercy, more mercy, Lord,  is what I seek

An inheritance promised to the meek.

Mercy and Grace  is what I plead

Mercy and Grace is what I need

Grace multiplied to the sinful and weak

Run to the Cross

My eyes are wide open, I see the world’s plight

The diversity of evil is a terrible sight

The burden is heavy it touches our soul

They need to know Jesus for them to be whole

But then I look unto my soul and see what My Lord sees

I am one unholy mess all racked with son’s disease

My mind set on delusion, seeking comfort and ease

Will I do my Lord’s will or do what I please?

When I am confronted by my sin

I run to the cross

When I don’t know where to begin

I run to the cross

There at the Cross of Jesus, I can count all things as loss

I will Rise Up From the Ashes and Run to the Cross

Bridge

The girl with the hole in her soul

The madman who is demon oppressed

The derelict who wants to be whole

The child who will never pass the test

There but for the grace of God go I

For if I want to live then I must die

When I am confronted by my sin

I run to the cross

When I don’t know where to begin

I run to the cross

There at the Cross of Jesus, I can count all things as loss

I will Rise Up From the Ashes and Run to the Cross

I will Rise Up From the Ashes and Run to the Cross

I will Rise Up From the Ashes and Run to the Cross

The Battle is the Lord’s

Living on the ragged edge

Still I live beneath my privilege

By the one sacrifice blessed

We have true  and full access

Enter in, Boldly stand 

Secure here in God’s gloryland

Don’t have to face God’s wrath

Don’t have to walk that path

Wake up…take hold

Stand tall, strong and bold

In that holy place

The throne of Grace

Live up to the privilege grace affords

You know

The Battle is the Lord’s

By the blood we overcome

Atonement is over and it’s done

Full assurance by the blood of the lamb

By that blood and our testimony we will stand

Wake up…take hold

Stand tall, strong and bold

In that holy place

The throne of Grace

Live up to the privilege grace affords

You know

The Battle is the Lord’s

There Is No Other

Declaring the end from the beginning

From ancient times things not yet done

You shall accomplish all your purpose

And you will finish what you’ve begun

Truthful and trustworthy

Trustworthy and True

You always do 

What you say you will do

Chorus

You are God, and there is no other

You are Lord, your counsels shall stand.

Among the hosts of heaven and the inhabitants of earth

There is none who can resist your righteous command.

There is none who can thwart your holy plan!

In your sovereignty Lord, you rule us

By your wisdom Lord you reign

We are called according to your purpose

Our destiny – ordained!

Truthful and trustworthy

Trustworthy and True

You always do 

What you say you will do

Chorus

You are God, and there is no other

You are Lord, your counsels shall stand.

Among the hosts of heaven and the inhabitants of earth

There is none who can resist your righteous command.

There is none who can thwart your holy plan!

The Time of the Signs

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

The time for consummation is due

When the true is called false and the false is called true

These are the times we were created for

Times of wars and rumors of war

Of famines and plagues and Earthquakes 

And every power of heaven shakes

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

There is a purpose and there is a plan

When returns the Sovereign Son of Man

In a cloud of glory with great power

So watch and be ready for that hour

Time for all accounts to be made due

When judgment comes for the many and few

There’s be no second chances for the wicked that day 

So get down on your knees and pray

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

The time for consummation is due

When the true is called false and the false is called true

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

This is the time of the signs

Look at the signs of the times

Faithful

I waken to new mercies each morning

I slumber in new mercies each night

For each day my life you’re conforming

To the beauty and glory of Christ

Unflagging, unflinching, unshakeably true

Undaunted by my faithlessness

Constant and steady, I’ll depend on You

You’re the source of my righteousness

Chorus 

You are faithful for you are faithfulness

Steadfast and resolute, all my surety

Faithful and just to forgive if I confess

May I be faithful as you are faithful to me

You are my stalwart, you are my stay

You never slumber, and you never sleep 

Always persevering always unswayed

By your strong hand we’re held in your keep

Chorus 

You are faithful for you are faithfulness

Steadfast and resolute, all my surety

Faithful and just to forgive if I confess

May I be faithful as you are faithful to me

May I be faithful as you are faithful to me

May I be faithful as you are faithful to me

Oak of Righteousness

Bread of heaven feed me

Oh Good Shepherd lead me

On this rocky road to holiness.

Spirit of God show me

What it takes to grow me

Into a mighty oak of righteousness.

Draw my roots into your holy ground

There where glory may be found

Or graft me into the living vine

I would dwell deep in the divine.

Angel armies lend me

A true map that will send me

Into the clefts of Yahweh’s holy hill

There where glory dwells

And Christ His story tells

And draws me to the center of His will

Draw my roots into your holy ground

There where glory may be found

Or graft me into the living vine

I would dwell deep in the divine.

So plant me as an lone acorn  

With Spirit waters there reborn

What myst’ries await-I can only guess

As new life breaks into the light

Lord, raise me up to holy heights

Till I become an oak of righteousness

I would become an oak of righteousness

I will become an oak of righteousness
