I'm tired of hollow sounding words
I'm tired of empty promise
Won't someone sing a simple song of Jesus' love
Tell me
Tell me the story of Jesus
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me once again about of His love
Tell me the old, old story
It's my only hope and glory
Tell me the story of Jesus
Tell me the old, old story
It shall be my theme and glory
Tell me once again about His love
Like eagle wings, it lifts me up
Above the world around me
Like cool, refreshing summer rain
It leaves me clean
I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from the sunshine
For it's skies may turn to gray
I don't worry o'er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today He'll walk beside me
For He knows what lies ahead
Refrain:
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
Ev'ry step is getting brighter As the golden stairs I climb Ev'ryburden's getting lighter Ev'ry cloud is silver lined There the sun is always shining There no tear will dim the eye At the ending of the rainbow Where the mountains touch the sky
Refrain:
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand
My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused. I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me And hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.
CHORUS: I ask You: "How many times will You pick me up, When I keep on letting You down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, How far will forgiveness abound?" And You answer: " My child, I love you. And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace."
VERSE 2: At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, Knowing that someone, somewhere, could do a better job. For who am I to serve You? I know I don't deserve You. And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.
CHORUS: I ask You: "How many times will You pick me up, When I keep on letting You down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, How far will forgiveness abound?" And You answer: " My child, I love you. And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace."
CODA: You are so patient with me, Lord.
BRIDGE: As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You By giving up my life to You For all that You've given to me.
CHORUS: I ask You: "How many times will You pick me up, When I keep on letting You down? And each time I will fall short of Your glory, How far will forgiveness abound?" And You answer: " My child, I love you. And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace."
Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage;
your mighty Defender is always the same.
Mount up with wings, as the eagle ascending;
victory is sure when you call on his name.
Refrain:
Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord,
and be of good courage for he is your guide.
Be strong, be strong, be strong in the Lord,
and rejoice for the victory is yours.
So put on the armor the Lord has provided,
and place your defense in his unfailing care.
Trust him for he will be with you in battle,
lighting your path to avoid every snare.
Refrain
Be strong in the Lord, and be of good courage;
your mighty Commander will vanquish the foe.
Fear not the battle for the victory is always his;
he will protect you wherever you go.
If I'm to be whom You desire all throughout my life
A vessel unto honor Lord, to Thee
And before Your throne to hear You say that I have done my part
Lord I need an undivided heart
That I might know You
That I might serve You
That I might worship You as King
To see the morning star
To know how great You are
Lord I need an undivided heart
If I'm to live in truth and love to glorify Your name
If for a living sacrifice to be
And to share the joy of grace and peace Your spirit does impart
Lord I need an undivided heart
O Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r through out the universe display
When thro' the woods the forest glades I wonder
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I looked down from lofty mountain grandeur
Then hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
And when I think that God His Son not sparring
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
Then on the cross my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sins!!
When Christ shall come!!
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart!! ^___^
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim "My God, how great Thou art!!"
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Life is easy when you're up on the mountain
And you've got peace of mind like you've never known
But things change and you're down in the valley
Don't lose faith for you're never alone
Cause the God of the mountain is still God in the valley
When things go wrong He'll make them right
And the God of the good times is still How in the bad times
The God of the day is still God in the night
You talk of faith when you're up on the mountain
The talk comes easy when life's at its best
But it's down in the valley of trials and temptations
That's when faith is really put to the test
Father, in this morning hour I come to You
To bring Your perfect peace the whole day through
All that I am I gladly give to You
I gladly live my whole life through
Lord, living in You
I thank Him for the promise of Your saving power
And for the grace that saves me every hour
And if I fail I know that You'll be true
I gladly live my whole life through
Lord, living in You
May I give to others what You gave to me
And they might seek the truth that sets them free
This is my prayer that everything I do reflects to them my whole life through
Lord, I'm living in You
Time, it’s changing me
It’s hard to see who I am
Touched, I’m touched by many things
So many things I don’t understand
But seasons pass and I discover
Above all this there’s another
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless
chorus:
So the autumn can color me gold
And the winter can dress me in snow
But it’s You I see
The timeless part of me
In the springtime I’m young once again
In the summer I dance on the wind
But it’s You I see
The timeless part of me
Change, whether it’s good or bad
You know I’m glad You’re in control
Oh, Lord, if I don’t understand
I know Your hand will shield my soul
Seasons pass and I discover
Above all this there’s another
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless
He leads me beside quiet waters
He giveth me rest for my soul
He guides in the path of His righteousness
His love and His peace fill my soul
O He leadeth me..He leadeth me
My steps, they may falter or stumble
My pathway may turn from His side
Yet through every road He is with me
He's faithful in me to abide
He leadeth me..He leadeth me
By His own hand He leadeth me
Tenderly guiding He leadeth me
Whate'r I do, Where I may be
His loving hand is with me
By His own hand He leadeth me
Tenderly guiding He leadeth me
I cannot fail, He will prevail
For where I am He is with me
His goodness, His kindness and mercy
Will follow me all of my days
And I will dwell in my Father's house
Forever I'll sing of His praise
He leadeth me..He leadeth me
He leadeth me, He leadeth me
By His own hand He leadeth me
His faithful follower I will be
For by His hand He leadeth me
.. He leadeth me ..
I wanna go to Heaven, and pick a never fading flower,
From the mountain overlooking the temple of my God.
I wanna go to Heaven, where all is light and glory,
How I long to be with Jesus! How I long to be with God!
CHORUS
Some times I think that I could stay here no longer.
I feel very lonely here, for I've seen a better land!
Oh! That I had wings like a dove,
Then would I fly away, and be at rest.
VERSE 2
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna hear the voice of Jesus,
"You have washed your robes in my blood, stood stiffly for my truth."
And when I get to Heaven I'll cast my crown at Jesus feet!
I wanna praise His name forever!
He has done so much for me!
VERSE 3
I wanna go to Heaven, I wanna hear the voice of Jesus,
"I will gird myself and serve you, for you suffered much for me."
And when I get to Heaven I wanna sit at Jesus' table!
Oh! To eat the fruit of that land,
To go back to earth no more!
When you're up against a wall And your mountain seems so tall And you realize that life's not always fair You can run away and hide Let the old man decide Or you can change your circumstances with a prayer
When everything falls apart Praise his name When you have a broken heart Raise your hands and say Lord, you're all I need You're everything to me And he'll take the pain away And when it seems you're all alone Praise his name When you feel you can't go on Raise your hands and say "Greater is He that is within me!" And you can praise the hurt away If you'll just praise his name
Ohhh, You can overcome By the blood of the lamb And by the word of your testimony You'll see the darkness go As your faith begins to grow You're not alone, so how can you be lonely
When I think of Your mercy When I look upon Your face When I sing of Your beauty When I'm broken by Your grace I stand amazed without words or token whispers I humbly bow in silence at Your feet I'm overwhelmed by Your mighty love That causes me to be Completely changed I'm in awe of You
CHORUS In awe of You, the glory of Your presence In awe of You, the power of Your name In awe of You The Holy Lamb that takes away all sin To make me new I'm in awe of You
He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea He alone decides who writes a symphony He lights every star that makes our darkness bright He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer Saint or sinner call and always find Him there And though it makes Him sad to see the way we live He'll always say, "I forgive".
He can grant a wish or make a dream come true. He can paint the clouds and turn the grey to blue. He alone knows where to find the rainbow's end. He alone can see what lies beyond the bend. He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold He knows every lie that you and I have told Though it makes him sad to see the way we live He'll always say, "I forgive".
Patiently I waited and he heard my cry. He brought me up and set my feet on solid Ground (on solid ground) Let all those who seek him (let those who seek Him faithfully) Rejoice and be glad, and give Him honor, and praise. (Lord we praise You)
He put a new song in my heart. A song a praise to our God. Many will see and turn around, and trust in you. (Lord we trust in you)
Many are thy wonders (many thy wonders all are yours) that thou hast done, there's not even one Lord who compares with you. (who is like you Lord) So let my delight be, (let my delight be only in you) Only in your way, and let it be written on my heart. (on my heart)
He put a new song in my heart. A song a praise to our God. Many will see and turn around, and trust in you. (Lord we trust in you) We trust in you, we trust in you, we trust in you.
