My Hope is Not Here
03:48
|
|||
|
I walk through the fire
Through long tribulation
Though they surround me
I will not be shaken
You said in this journey
That there would be trouble
But You've never left me
Nor will You forsake me
My hope is not here
My home is not here
Until You appear
My heart will declare
I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord at all times
And His praise, it shall, be on my lips
At all times, at all times
My country is elsewhere
I journey to somewhere
I know what I'll find there
I'm not going nowhere
My hope is not here
My home is not here
Until You appear
My heart will declare
I will bless the Lord at all times
I will bless the Lord at all times
And His praise, it shall, be on my lips
At all times, at all times

God With Us
05:53
|
|||
|
Into darkness came Light Himself
Leaving His glory, forsaking His wealth
The host of Heaven stood in silence as they observed
The only begotten Son of the Father reach down to serve
But men loved darkness more than the light
He came rejected, He came despised
Pierced and defiled by the ones He formed
For our iniquity the Son of God was torn
Laid in the grave by those He created, those He came to save
The blood of the pure and innocent One was on the hands He made
But all of Heaven would rejoice, and all the world would see
That all the pow'rs of Hell could not hold back the risen King
Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, God with us
Before He ascended, these words, He left with us
"I leave you not as orphans, I'll lift you from the dust
All your wounds and sorrows will soon be wiped away
When the Bright and Morning Star comes shining like the day"
And He will bring justice to everyone held captive
And He will reign in righteousness on the throne of David
Oh He will bring justice to everyone held captive
And He will reign in righteousness on the throne of David

Whatever is pure, whatever is lovely
Think on these things, ponder them
Whatever is good, whatever is noble
Seek as treasure, 'til you find
So I will think upon you, Jesus
You'll be my meditation, always
All that's pure and beautiful is found in Your heart
Everything about you, Lord, it makes me love You more
Whatever is true, whatever is worthy
Seek as treasure, 'til you find
So I will think upon you, Jesus
You'll be my meditation, always
All that's pure and beautiful is found in Your heart
Everything about you, Lord, it makes me love You more
I'll set my mind on things above where Christ is seated
Lift my eyes up to the throne, oh Son of David
I'll set my mind on things above where Christ is seated
Lift my eyes up to the throne, Son of David
All that's pure and beautiful is found in Your heart
Everything about you, Lord, it makes me love You more

Save Me from Myself
04:35
|
|||
|
You ask me to call You
In the day of trouble
You said You'd deliver me
From the hands of my enemies
But it's not what I would think
When the enemy is me
Save me, Jesus, from myself
Save me, Jesus, from myself
My spirit is willing
But my flesh is so weak
The things I don't want to do
I find myself doing
So how can I be free
Who will rescue me
How can I be free
Who will rescue me
Save me, Jesus, from myself
Save me, Jesus, from myself
(2x)
There's a man in Heaven
Whose ear is always open
More than able, always strong
I call on his name
Save me from myself
Save me, Jesus, from myself

Prudent Lips
03:17
|
|||
|
Speak you ancient, prudent lips
Ripened with your many days
The creases 'round your seasoned eyes
Say "stories lie inside this gates"
A timeless treasure to behold
Caged within a beaten chest
Untainted and devoid of stain
An unoffended heart of flesh
Not every youth is bent toward folly
Some will incline to wisdom's cry
What remedy have you to give
For me to listen and apply

No Greater Love
05:41
|
|||
|
You came to Your own and they did not receive You
Despised, rejected by the ones You love so much
Man of sorrows and no stranger to suffering
You said, "Father, I desire that they would be with Me where I am"
You so loved the world that You came down
You so loved the world that You came down
No greater love, no greater love
Has anyone than this
That a man would lay down his life for his friend
No greater love, no greater love
Has anyone than this
That a man would lay down his life for his friend
No price too high, no cost to great to gain
A bride so pure and dazzling white, washed in blood
Blood spilled from Your broken body, my Lord
You said "Father, I desire that they would be with Me where I am"
You so loved the world that You came down
You so loved the world that You came down
No greater love, no greater love
Has anyone than this
That a man would lay down his life for his friend
No greater love, no greater love
Has anyone than this
That a man would lay down his life for his friend
The man Christ Jesus
The man Christ Jesus
(4x)
No greater love, no greater love
Has anyone than this
That a man would lay down his life for his friend
No greater love, no greater love
Has anyone than this
That a man would lay down his life for his friend

Groan
04:44
|
|||
|
Into the garden, Sin himself did tread
With words he defiled and left men for dead
He severed the tie between God and His own
For their reuniting, creation does groan
Unto a virgin the Son of God was born
Walking among us to, one day, bear our scorn
On the cross, he hung, then lay behind a stone
Three days of waiting, creation did groan
The groaning continues, listen you will hear
Anticipating, the Son of Man draws near
Glorious freedom lies just beyond the door
Soon the door opens and groaning will be no more

Will You Trust Me
04:08
|
|||
|
Will you trust Me in the journey
Will you keep a tender heart
Knowing that My heart is toward you
Knowing that My love is strong
Will you trust Me when you're hurting
Knowing that I'm hurting too
Knowing that My heart is breaking
What breaks yours breaks mine too
If your eyes could see from Heaven
You'd see mercy's river flow
Come and rest in My compassion
I'm much kinder than you know
Will you trust Me in the waiting
When your heart is filled with fear
When confusion overwhelms you
And you wonder if I care
Do you know that I'm a Father
Let my shelter be your home
Do you know that I'm a Shepherd
I keep watch over My own
Will you trust Me in the journey
Will you keep a tender heart
Don't give up, just keep believing
I will come, it won't be long

Awaken
03:54
|

Rise up, oh Church of God
Have done with lesser things
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings
Rise up, oh Church of God
His kingdom tarries long
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong
Awaken, awaken
Oh Church so greatly loved
The Bridegroom is calling for His bride
Awaken, awaken
And watch the eastern sky
There once were ten virgins
And only five went inside
Rise up, oh men of God
The church for you does wait
Her strength unequal to her task
Rise up and make her great
Lift high the cross of Christ
Tread where HIs feet have trod
As followers of the Son of Man
Rise up oh Church of God
Awaken, awaken
Oh Church so greatly loved
The Bridegroom is calling for His bride
Awaken, awaken
And watch the eastern sky
There once were ten virgins
And only five went inside
The prophets raise their cry
The word of God is clear
Make ready for that coming day
The Son of Man is near

There's only a few questions worth the asking
Just a few decisions worth your time
When it comes to your own heart
One question stands apart from all the others
Determines who you are
Did you learn how to love
Did you dig beneath the surface
And mine that vein of gold
The treasure found in souls
Did you choose the best part
Did you give to them your heart
Did you stay when it was easy to walk away
Did you learn how to love
We don't know the day we'll stand before Hiim
But soon enough we'll look straight in His eyes
There will be nothing we can hide
About the way we lived our lives
For we must answer
That great question of all time
Did you learn how to love
Did you dig beneath the surface
And mine that vein of gold
The treasure found in souls
Did you choose the best part
Did you give to them your heart
Did you stay when it was easy to walk away
Did you learn how to love
