Abba, Father, hold me now,
Place Thy hand upon my brow;
Keep me safe until the dawn,
Give me strength to carry on.
Father, Savior, hear my prayer;
I place my life into Your care…
Lord, You know what I need most:
Fill me with Thy Holy Ghost.
Abba, Daddy, teach me love,
Send Thy Comfort from above.
Carry me while I feel small,
Help me come back from this fall.
Abba Father, Abba Father,
Deep within my soul I cry:
Abba Father, Abba Father,
I will never cease to love You.
Abba Father, Jehovah Shammah,
You are the One who's standing near.
Abba Father, Abba Father,
I will never cease to love You.
Amazing grace (amazing grace how sweet the sound).
That saved a wretch (that saved a wretch like me-e-e).
I once was lost (I once was lost but now am found
was blind but now I see)!
When we've been there (when we've been there ten thousand years).
Bright shining as (bright shining as the su-u-un).
We've no less days (we've no less days to sing God's praise
then when we first begun)!
As the deer panteth for, the water
so my soul longeth after Thee.
You alone are my hearts, desire
and I long to worship You.
You alone are my strength my shield.
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart's, desire
and I long to worship You.
You're my Friend and you are my Brother,
even though you are my King
I love You more than any other
so much more than anything.
In my life, Lord, be glorified, be glorifIed.
In my life, Lord, be glorified today!
In my home, Lord, be glorified, be glorifIed.
In my home, Lord, be glorified today!
In Your church, Lord, be glorified, be glorifIed.
In Your church, Lord, be glorified today!
Behold, what manner of love the Father has given unto us…
Behold, what manner of love the Father has given unto us.
That we should be called the sons of God…
That we should be called the sons of God.
(sung in rounds)
How lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for you
For here my heart is satisfied
Within your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings
(Chorus)
Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
(Than thousands elsewhere)
One thing I ask and I would seek
To see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells
One thing I ask and I would seek
To see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells
(Repeat Chorus)
My heart and flesh cry out
For you, the living God
Your spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to you
I will draw near to you (to you)
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
(chorus)
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long!
This is my story this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
Blessed be the Lord our God of Israel!
From everlasting, to everlasting!
Blessed be the Lord our God of Israel!
From everlasting, to everlasting!

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonia,
Age to age You're still the same,
By the power of the name.
El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
We will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.
Through your love and through the ram,
You saved the son of Abraham;
Through the power of Your hand,
Turned the sea into dry land.
To the outcast on her knees,
You were the God who really sees,
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.
(repeat chorus)
Through the years You've made it clear,
That the time of Christ was near,
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your Word contained the plan,
They just could not understand
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frailty of Your Son.

Mary came unto the tomb of Jesus.
The stone was moved and he had gone away.
The angel said, "Fear not, I know whom seek ye,
But he is risen." This she heard him say.
{chorus}
Gone. The stone is rolled back.
Gone. The tomb is empty,
Gone. To sit at the Father's side.
Gone. Over death, triumphant.
Gone. Sin is defeated.
Gone. He lives forevermore.
My friend, if you don't know my risen savior,
I beg of you, don't wait too late to pray.
Don't wait until his bride has been completed.
Don't wait until you hear him say, "It's too late."
Hail! Jesus You're my King! (Hail! Jesus You're my King!)
Your love frees me to sing! (Your love frees me to sing!)
I will praise You all my days! (I will praise You all my days!)
You're perfect in all Your ways! (You're perfect in all Your ways!)
(Chorus)
Hail! Hail! Lion of Judah! (Hail! Hail! Lion of Judah!)
How powerful You are! (How powerful You are!)
Hail! Hail! Lion of Judah! (Hail! Hail! Lion of Judah!)
How wonderful You are! (How wonderful You are!)
Hail! Jesus You're my Lord! (Hail! Jesus You're my Lord!)
I will obey Your Word. (I will obey Your Word.)
I want to see Your kingdom come! (I want to see Your kingdom come!)
Not my will but Yours be done! (Not my will but Yours be done!)
Glory! Glory! unto the Lamb! (Glory! Glory! unto the Lamb!)
You take me into the land. (You take me into the land.)
We will conquer in Your Name! (We will conquer in Your Name!)
And proclaim that Jesus reigns! (And proclaim that Jesus reigns!)
He is my everything, He is my all.
He is my everything, both great and small.
He gave His life for me, made everything new.
He is my everything, oh how about you?
He paid a debt He did not owe.
I owed a debt I could not pay --
I needed someone, to wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song:
"Amazing Grace"
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay.
He paid a debt at calvary,
He cleansed my soul and set me free,
I'm glad that Jesus did all my sins erase.
Now I can sing a brand new song:
"Amazing Grace"
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay.
One day He's coming back for me,
To live with Him eternally,
Won't it be glory! To see Him on that day…
Then I will sing a brand new song:
"Amazing Grace"!
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay.
O what a wonderful, wonderful day -- Day I will never forget!
After I'd wandered in darkness away, Jesus my Savior I met!
O what a tender, compassionate friend, He met the need of my heart!
Shadows dispelling, with joy I am telling, He made all the darkness depart!
(Chorus)
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul (filled my soul).
When at the cross the Savior made me whole (made me whole).
My sins were washed away, and my night was turned to day, O,
Heaven came down and glory filled my soul.
Born of the Spirit with life from above, into God's family devine;
Justified fully thru Calvary's love, O what a standing is mine!
And the transaction so quickly was made, when as a sinner I came,
Took of the offer of grace He did proffer, He saved me, O praise His dear name!
Now I've a hope that will surely endure after the passing of time;
I have a future in heaven for sure, there in those mansions sublime!
And it's because of that wonderful day, when at the cross I believed,
Riches eternal and blessings supernal from His precious hand I received.
On that resurrection morning, when the redeemed are gath'ring in;
I'll be in that royal number, when they call my name.
When they all join in and sing, "Hallelujah to the King!"
I'll cry with a joyful sound, "Lord, here I am."
(Chorus)
Here I am, here I am!
I'm the one the Shepherd left the fold and found.
There were ninety and nine, but He left the fold to find
One little lost lamb, and here I am.
When old Gabriel blows the trumpet, and we rise up in the air,
In less time than a split second, we'll be changed from here to there;
Where there'll be no grief nor pain, perfect peace and joy shall reign,
Home at last I shall proclaim, "Lord, here I am."
Light of the World, You stepped down into darkness,
Open my eyes, let me see…
Beauty that made this heart adore You,
Hope of a life spent with You.
(Chorus)
So here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God.
You're altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
Altogether wonderful to me.
King of All Days, oh so highly exhalted.
Glorious in heaven above.
Humbly You came to the earth You created,
all for love's sake became poor.
(Bridge)
And I'll never know, how much it cost
To see my sins upon that cross
(repeat)
Jesus is the Rock of my salvation,
His banner over me is love.
Jesus is the Rock of my salvation,
His banner over me is love.
Jesus is the Rock of my salvation,
His banner over me is love.
His banner over me is love.
He brought me to His banqueting table,
His banner over me is love…
He clothed me with His robe of righteousness,
His banner over me is love…
He gave me peace through the power of the cross,
His banner over me is love…
And now I am a new creation,
His banner over me is love…
I am my beloved's and He is mine
His banner over me is love…
There's therefore now no condemnation,
His banner over me is love…
He's gone to make a place for me,
His banner over me is love…
While I wait, His voice I'll heed,
His banner over me is love…
You may ask me how I know my Lord is real (my Lord is real)
You may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel (the way I feel)
But I know He’s real today He’ll always be (He’ll always be)
I can feel His hand in mine and that’s enough for me.
(Chorus)
I will never walk alone He holds my hand (He holds my hand)
He will guide each step I take
And if I fall I know He’ll understand
'Til the day He tells me why He loves me so (He loves me so)
I can feel His hand in mine
That’s all I need to know.
His love, is higher than the highest of mountains.
His love is deeper than the deepest of seas.
His love, it stretches to the farthest horizon,
and His love, it reaches to me.
His love, is stronger than the angels and demons.
His love it keeps me in my life's darkest hour.
His love secures me in the pathway to heaven,
and His love, is my strength and power.
His love, is sweeter than the sweetest of honey.
His love, is better than the choicest of wine.
His love, it satisfies the deepest of hunger,
and His love, in Jesus it's mine!
Holiness! Holiness is what I long for, holiness.
Holiness is what I need.
Holiness! Holiness is what You want from me.
So take my heart, and form it.
Take my mind, transform it.
Take my will, conform it...
To Yours! to Yours, Oh Lord…
In the stillness of this hour, I worship You, my Lord...
crying Holy is the Lord on High!
In the quiet of my heart I sing this song of praise...
crying Holy is the Lord on High!
And for all of my days I will bow down before You...
giving glory and honor to Your name
And for all of my life I will worship and adore You...
crying Holy is the Lord on High!

I have decided…to follow Jesus.
I have decided…to follow Jesus.
I have decided…to follow Jesus…
No turning back…no turning back.
Repeat same chorus with:
The world behind me…my God before me.
Though none go with me…still I will follow.
My cross I'll carry…'til I see Jesus.
Will you decide now... to follow Jesus?
I love You, Lord, and I lift my voice,
to worship You, O my soul, rejoice.
Take Joy my King, in what You hear,
may it be a sweet, sweet sound, in Your ear.
I need You more, more than yesterday
I need You Lord, more than words can say
I need You more, than ever before
I need You Lord, I need You Lord
More than the air I breathe
More than the song I sing
More than the next heartbeat
More than anything
And Lord, as time goes by, I will be by your side
Cause I never want to go back to my old life.
Right here in Your presence is where I belong
This old broken heart has finally found a home
And I'll never be alone…
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Saviour in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord! I saw the light.
(Chorus)
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord! I saw the light.
Just like a blind man, I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord! I saw the light.
I was a fool to wander and astray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord! I saw the light.
Lord I will praise You, I'll lift You up
For You are my fortress and You are my rock!
When I am weak, Lord, You make me strong
So Lord, I will praise You all the day long!
I will praise You, I will praise You, I will praise You,
Lord I will praise You all the day long.
Lord I will serve You, I'll go all of the way
I'll go where You lead me so guide me each day
Direct my path, help me see right from wrong
And Lord, I will serve You all the day long
I will serve You, I will serve You, I will serve You,
Lord I will serve You all the day long.
Lord I will love You, with all of my heart
For You've been so good to me right from the start
You've always been there when I felt all alone
So Lord, I will love You all the day long
I will love You, I will love You, I will love You
Lord I will love You all the day long.
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
Forever I will sing, I will sing!
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
Forever I will sing, of the mercies of the Lord.
With my mouth, will I make known
Thy faithfulness, Thy faithfulness!
With my mouth, will I make known
Thy faithfulness through all generations.

In my brokenness
In my hour of darkness
I will lift my hands and worship You.
.
In my brokenness
In my time of sadness
I will lift my voice in praise to You
.
Time stands still
As I kneel down before You
.
Life draws near
Like waves upon the shore
You touch me
.
In my brokenness
In these whispering shadows
I will lift the pieces of my heart to You.
.
Time stands still
As I kneel down before You
Life is here
Your waves of power and glory
Touch me
.
In my brokenness
In my hour of darkness
I will lift my hands and worship You.
It's my desire to live for Jesus
It's my desire to live for Him.
Though often I've failed Him and brought Him to shame.
It's my desire to live for Him.
(Chorus)
If you could see where Jesus brought me from,
And where I am today.
Then you would know the reason why I love Him so
So you can take this world's wealth and riches
I don't need Earth's fame
It's my desire to live for Him.
It's my desire to help someone today
Someone who's fallen along life's way
I too was lost, alone but I was found by God
It's my desire to live for Him.
Troublesome times are here, filling men’s hearts with fear,
Freedom we all hold dear, now is at stake.
Humbling your heart to God saves from the chastening rod.
Seek the way pilgrims trod, Christians awake!
(Chorus)
Jesus is coming soon, morning or night or noon,
Many will meet their doom, trumpets will sound.
All of the dead shall rise, righteous meet in the sky,
Going where no one dies, Heavenward bound!
Troubles will soon be o’er, happy forever more,
When we meet on that shore, free from all care.
Rising up in the sky, telling this world goodbye,
Homeward we then will fly, glory to share.
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Jesus, I will never let you go…
You've lifted me, from the miry clay
Set my feet upon the rocks and now I know:
I love you, I need you,
Even if my world shall end I'll never let you go…
My Savior, my closest friend,
I will worship You until the very end.
Let the righteous proclaim (let the righteous proclaim)
Jesus is here (Jesus is here!)
So we welcome You now (so we welcome You now)
Draw us near (Draw us near!)
(Chorus)
By Your Spirit within, we come to enter in,
to glorify and bless Your worthy name!
We enter in (we enter in), "Glory to the King!"
We cry out loud (we cry out loud), "Worthy is the Lamb!"
We lift our voice, praise and majesty!
For these belong to You, our Lord, throughout e-ter-nity.
We behold now Your face (we behold now Your face)
In wonder and awe (in wonder and awe)
Who is like You, oh Lord? (who is like You, oh Lord?)
Holy and True (Holy and True)
Let's just praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
Let's just lift our hands toward heaven and praise the Lord.
Let's just Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let's just lift our hands toward heaven and praise the Lord.
(I found a version with 2 verses written by Gloria and William J Gaither,
but I'm not sure it's the same song, or perhaps the chorus came first
and they wrote verses for it later.)
Like a father feeds his children, like a shepherd leads his flock,
the Lord will always guide us, show us where to walk
And in times when we have plenty, in times when we have not,
He is our provider and His mercy never stops!
(Chorus)
Like a shepherd, He leads us...like a father, He feeds us...
from the morning to the evening, 'til the sunrise again
Like a shepherd, He leads us...like a father He, feeds us...
He is the great I Am!
As we come into his presence, confessing Him as Lord,
His Holy Spirit leads us, He feeds us by His word.
We're seated at His table, partaking of His love,
children of His kingdom, purchased by His blood.
The lame man set outside the gate
Begging alms of those who entered in
Now Peter and John they came upon him
The lame man expecting from them
Peter said silver and gold have I none
But such I have I Give unto Thee
Right then the spirit touched him
And he leaped to his feet
Saying look what God's done for me
(Chorus)
Look what the Lord has done
Look what the Lord has done
He healed my body, He touched my mind
He saved me just in time
I’m gonna praise His name
Each day is just the same
Come on and praise Him
Look what the Lord has done
I was bound by chains of darkness and sin
I had no hope or peace of mind
Though my sins were red as scarlet
He washed them white as snow
And opened my blind eyes
Now my soul will rejoice since I’ve made Him my choice
I’ve got joy, peace, everything that’s within
You see my names been written down
In the Lamb's book of life
Can’t you see what God's done for me
Lord I lift Your name on high!
Lord I LOVE to sing Your praises!
I'm so glad You're in my life!
I'm so glad You came to save us!
You came from \o/ Heaven to _o_ earth to show /o/ the way \o\

O Lord, XXXX XXXX XX We praise Your name!
O Lord, XXXX XXXX XX We magnify Your name!
Prince of Peace, Mighty God, O Lord, God almighty!
As I journey thro’ the land, singing as I go,
Pointing souls to Calvary—to the crimson flow,
Many arrows pierce my soul from without, within;
But my Lord leads me on, thro’ Him I must win.
(Chorus)
O I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice,
Cares all past, home at last, ever to rejoice.
When in service for my Lord dark may be the night,
But I’ll cling more close to Him, He will give me light;
Satan’s snares may vex my soul, turn my thoughts aside;
But my Lord goes ahead, leads whate’er betide.
When in valleys low I look tow’rd the mountain height,
And behold my Savior there, leading in the fight,
With a tender hand outstretched tow’rd the valley low,
Guiding me, I can see, as I onward go.
When before me billows rise form the mighty deep,
Then my Lord directs my bark; He doth safely keep,
And He leads me gently on thro’ this world below;
He’s a real Friend to me, O I love Him so.
Oh Lord, You're beautiful,
Your face is all I seek;
And when Your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
I want to take Your Word…and shine it all around…
But first help me just to live it, Lord…
and when I'm doing well, help me to never to seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.
Oh Lord, please light the fire,
that once burned bright and clear.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
that burns with Holy fear!
Oh that Christ may make His home my heart!
Spread Himself in every part! Saturate and life impart!
That with all saints, I may comprehend
all the vast dimensions of my loving Christ.
Father God, forgive me if I groan.
For so long I've been on a plateau.
Now with tears, I bow my knees and pray,
by Your Spirit make my spirit strong today.
As I came this morning, to Your Word,
with no strength to even read a verse,
Yet my plea, is "Lord I do need You!"
How you strengthen me, Your power within to prove.
I myself was losing heart each day
then the Lord brought some saints my own way
I alone could not Thee apprehend,
but with all the saints You now my joy have been.
All this year I've come the church to know,
yet, O Lord, there're things I can't let go.
Yet within me there is an "Amen"
O now joy I never knew in me's flowin'.
(This was written by a friend of mine in college,
but my memory is terrible and I can't
for the life of me remember his name.)
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus,
to reach out and touch Him and say that we love Him.
Open our ears, Lord, and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see Jesus.
(optional: start the first verse very slowly,
speed up a bit for each verse,
slow back down for the last)
When the Spirit of the Lord moves in my heart,
I will pray like David prayed.
When the Spirit of the Lord moves in my heart,
I will pray like David prayed.
I will *clap* pray, I will *clap* pray,
I will pray like David prayed…
I will *clap* pray, I will *clap* pray,
I will pray like David prayed.
Repeat with:
I will sing like David sang…
I will dance like David danced…
I will fight like David fought…
I will pray like David prayed.
We praise Thee, O God, for the Son of Thy Love,
For Jesus had died and is now gone above!
(Chorus)
Hallelujah! Thine the GLORY! Hallelujah! Amen!
Hallelujah! Thine the GLORY! Revive us again!
We praise thee, O God, for Thy Spirit of Light,
Who has shown us our Savior, and scattered our night!
All honor and praise, for the Lamb that was slain,
Who hath born all our sins and has cleansed every stain
All glory and praise, to the God of all grace,
Who has brought us, and sought us, and guided our ways.
Revive us again, fill each heart with Thy love,
May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.
Lord I come to You let my heart be changed renewed,
flowing from the grace I've found in You.
Lord I've come to see the weaknesses I see in me
will be washed away by the power of Your love
Hold me close let Your love surround me,
bring me near, draw me to Your side
And as I wait I’ll rise up like an eagle and i will soar with You
Your spirit leads me on in the power of your love!!!
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears forever flow, Could my zeal no languor know,
These for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
You are the Rock of my salvation,
You are the strength in my life.
You are my hope and my inspiration,
Lord, unto You will I cry…
I believe in You, believe in You…
For Your faithful love to me,
You have been my help in time of need.
Lord, unto you will I cleave.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so (SO!)
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so (SO!)
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so...
I'm redeemed! I'm redeemed! Praise the Lord! (AMEN!)
Seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added unto you,
allelu, alleluia.
Ask and it shall be given unto you,
seek and ye shall find,
knock and the door shall be opened unto you,
allelu, alleluia.
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
in the midst of the darkness, shining.
Jesus, Light of the World shine upon us,
set us free by the truth You now bring us
Shine on me... Shine on me...
(Chorus)
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this world with the Father's glory!
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy,
send forth Your Word, Lord and let there be Light!
Lord, I come to your awesome presence,
from the shadows into Your radiance
By the blood I may enter your brightness;
search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me... Shine on me...
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this world with the Father's glory!
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy,
send forth Your Word, Lord and let there be Light!
My Jesus, My savoir, Lord there is none like You.
All of my days I want to praise the wonder of Your mighty love.
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength,
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You…
Shout to the Lord all the earth let us sing!
Power and majesty, praise to the King,
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound, of Your name...
I sing for joy at the works of Your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand...
Nothing compares to the promise I have... In You.
Show me Your ways, that I may walk with You.
Show me Your ways, I put my hope in You.
The cry of my heart is to love You more,
to live with the touch of Your hand,
stronger each day, show me Your way...
Sometimes I wake up in the morning, see I've made it through the night.
I listen for my family, sure enough they're all right.
As we gather round the table, bow our heads in thankfulness,
with tear filled eyes my heart cries I'm still blessed
(Chorus)
Theres never a day he doesn't give me all I need,
and when I wake up to the storm, my soul cries peace.
Sometimes I try to count them, they're too many I confess.
So with arms upraised I just say I'm still blessed.
Now I don't want to leave my family I don't want to leave my friends.
Oh but lately I've been homesick, how I long just to be with Him.
So in the morning should you find me with my eyes closed in death,
oh what victory, what glory, I'm still blessed
There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place,
and I know that it's the spirit of the Lord;
There are sweet expressions on each face
and I know they feel the presence of the Lord.
(Chorus)
Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet Heavenly Dove,
Stay right here with us Filling us with Your love,
And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise,
Without a doubt we'll know that we have been redeemed
When we shall leave this place.
How do I lay my head to rest if all I have is gone?
Where do I lean if all my pillars fall?
What should I do when life gets brutal?
Why do I cry when all seems futile?
Who do I call if no one's ever home?
Walk this way, child, take My hand…
Follow in My lead.
Men will change like shifting sands,
But I will meet your needs.
Take My hand, walk with Me,
I'll take your shame and set you free,
Walk with Me, take My hand, My child.
I'll lead you to the promised land,
Love you like no other can…
Take My hand, walk with Me, My child.
You picked me up when I was down and turned my life around.
And now You tell me that I have a chance.
You kept me through the flood and fire,
Lif-ted me from muck and mire --
Now help me leave without a second glance.
Walk with me, Lord, take my hand…
I'll follow in Your lead.
Men may change like shifting sands,
But You can meet my needs.
Take my hand, walk with me,
Take my shame and set me free,
I'll walk with You, take my hand, my Lord.
You'll lead me to the promised land,
love me like no other can…
Walk with me, I'll take Your hand, My Lord.
Take my hand, Lord, walk with me,
I'll follow in Your lead.
Men might change like shifting sands,
But You can meet my needs.
Walk with me, take my hand,
hold me close and help me stand
Take my hand, walk with me, my Lord.
When I do the best I can
I'm only still a lowly man,
Take my hand, walk with me, my Lord.
Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my will and make it Thine, it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is Thine own, it shall be Thy royal throne.
It shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be ever, only, all for Thee;
ever, only, all for Thee.
The Father gave the Son... and the gift goes on...
The Son gave the Spirit... and the gift goes on...
The Spirit gives us life... so we can give the gift of love...
And the gift goes on...
(Repeat)
The gift goes on... And the gift goes on...
And the gift goes on... And the gift goes...
on and on and on... and the gift goes on...
I will call upon the (I will call upon the Lord) Lord
Who is worthy to be (who is worthy to be praised) praised
So shall I be SAVED FROM MY ENEMIES!
The LORD LIVETH! and blessed be the Rock!
and may the God of my salvation be exalted!
The Lord HE LIVETH! and blessed be the Rock!
and may the God of my salvation be exalted!
Thought that I'd be happy, gonna be so happy,
living my life alone and never sharing anything.
Thought that I was finished, thought that I was complete,
thought that I was whole instead of being half of something.
Thought that I was growing, growing older, wiser,
understanding why this world held nothing for my spirit.
Thought that I was destined, destined to be nothing,
destined to be nothing in this world and then I met You!
I-hi met You, I-hi met You, I-hi met You, I-hi met You!
Thought that God had failed me, thought my prayers were useless,
thought that He would never give the chance for me to praise Him.
Thought the book was written, thought the game had ended,
thought the song was sung and I could never sing another.
Thought my faith was misplaced, thought my back was broken,
broken by a weight that I was never fit to carry.
Thought I knew this city, thought I knew all about it,
then one night I went to You, Lord, and You were waiting!
I-hi met You, I-hi met You, I-hi met You, I-hi met You!
This is my Father's world,
and to my listening ears,
all nature sings and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world,
I rest me in the thought --
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas --
His hands the wonders wrought!
Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy,
Thou art worthy, O Lord.
To receive glory, glory and honor,
glory and honor and power!
For Thou hast created, hast all things created,
for Thou hast created all things.
And for Thy pleasure, they are created,
Thou art worthy, O Lord!
When I feel afraid, I think I've lost my way,
still ... Your here right beside me.
Nothin’ will I fear as long as You are near,
please be with me to the end.
(Chorus)
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
I cannot forget, Your love for me and yet,
my heart ... forever is wandering.
Jesus be my guide, and hold me to Your side,
and I will love you to the end.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path!
You are my refuge you are my strength, in You I will put my trust.
I will rest in You. High above the storms you carry me --
Soaring above the clouds. I never fear.
Resting upon your wings forever
You are my refuge and my strength.
