Where do I go? When there's nobody else to turn to…
Who do I talk to? When nobody wants to listen…
Who do I lean on? Oh, when there is no foundation stable
I go to the Rock, I know He is able, I go to the Rock.
{chorus}
I go to the Rock of My Salvation
I go to the Stone that the Builders Rejected
I run to the Mountain, and the Mountain stands by me
When the earth around me is sinking sand, on Christ the Solid Rock I stand
When I need a shelter, when I need a friend, I go to the Rock.
Where do I go, where do I go? when the storms of life are threatening?
Who do I turn to, when those winds of sorrow blow?
And is there a refuge in the time of tribulation
Go to the Rock, I know He is able, I go to the Rock.
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 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 waited... for the Lord on high...
I waited and He heard my cry!
He pulled me out of my dispair
and showed me how to walk.
From fear into security,
from quick-sand to a ROCK!
I waited... for the Lord on high...
I waited and He heard my cry!
He put a new song in my heart,
a new song for my King!
I'll sing to let the people know
that I HAVE BEEN REDEEMED!
I waited... for the Lord on high...
I waited and He heard my cry!
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.
Lord, prepare me, to be a sanctuary,
pure and holy, tried and true
With thanksgiving, I'll be a living,
sanctuary, for You!
It is You, Lord, who came to save the
heart and soul of every man
It is You Lord, who knows my weakness,
who gives me strength, with thine own hand.
Lead me on, Lord, from temptation
purify me, from within
Fill my heart with Your Holy Spirit
take away my every sin.
Me and my house, We're gonna serve the Lord.
Praise his name forevermore.
Me and my house, We're gonna serve the Lord.
Praise his name forevermore.
We ask all families here to join us,
join us in serving the Lord.
But if no family here will join us,
we're still gonna serve the Lord.
Me and my house, We're gonna serve the Lord.
Praise his name forever more...
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 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.
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!!!
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...
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.
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.
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!
