WORSHIP LYRICS (to view a word document click here)
SONG 1: AMAZING GRACE (my chains are gone)
Amazing grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me, I once was lost, but now I'm found, Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved, How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I've been set free, My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains, Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures, He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine, But God, Who called me here below, Will be forever mine, Will be forever mine, You are forever mine
SONG 2: I SAW THE LIGHT
I’ve wandered so aimless, life filled with sin, I wouldn’t let my dear Savior in, Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night, Praise the Lord, I saw the light (Williams)
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 (Williams)
I’ve walked in darkness, clouds covered me, I had no idea where the way out could be , Then came the sunrise and rolled back the night, Praise the Lord, I saw the light (Cash)
Just like a blind man I wandered alone, Worries and fear I claimed for my own, Then like a blind man who God gave back his sight, Praise the Lord, I saw the light (Williams)
When death takes me down and I breath here no more, My anthem will sound on that eternal shore, When I join with the angels in heaven on high, Singing “Praise the Lord, He is the light”
SONG 3:I'LL FLY AWAY
Some bright morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away, To a land on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away, Like a bird from these prison walls, I’ll fly, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away (in the morning), When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away, No more cold, iron shackles on my feet, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away, When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away , To a land where joy will never end, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away (oh glory), When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away (oh glory)
When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away
I'll fly away.... I'll fly away..... I'll fly away
SONG 4: HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD
The splendor of a King, Clothed in majesty, Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice He wraps himself in light, And darkness tries to hide, And trembles at his voice, And trembles at his voice
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God, sing with me, How great is our God,and all will see, How great, How great Is our God
VERSE(2):
Age to age he stands, And time is in His Hands, Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End, The Godhead, Three in one Father, Spirit, Son, The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God, sing with me, How great is our God,
and all will see, How great, How great Is our God
CHORUS(2)
Name above all names, You are Worthy of all praise, and My heart will sing how great Is our God (x2)
SONG 5: IT IS WELL
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Refrain
It is well, with my soul, It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
SONG 6: HOW GREAT THOU ART
Oh 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 power throughout the universe displayed
REFRAIN:
Then sings my soul my savior God to thee, How great thou art, How great thou art, Then sings my soul my savior God to thee, How great thou art how great thou art
When thru the woods and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees, When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze (Refrain)
And when I think that God, his Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in, That on the cross my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin (Refrain)
When Christ shall come With shout of acclamation, To 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 (Refrain)
SONG 7: UNDIGNIFIED
I will dance, I will sing, To be mad
For my King, Nothing Lord Is hindering, This passion in my soul
Chorus:
And I'll become, Even more undignified than this
Some may say, It's foolishness
But I'll become, Even more undignified than this
Leave my pride By my side
And I'll become, Even more undignified than this
Some may say, It's foolishness
But I'll become, Even more undignified than this
La, la, la, la, la, HEY!
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, HEY!
La, la, la, la, la
It's all for You my Lord!
SONG 8:GLORIOUS DAY
One day when heaven, Is filled with His praises, One day when sin was as black as could be, Jesus came forth to, Be born of a virgin, He dwelt among men, my example is He
[Chorus:]
Living He loved me, Dying He saved me, Buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified, Freely forever, One day He's coming
Oh, Glorious Day, Oh, Glorious Day
One day they led Him, Up calvary's mountain, One day they nailed Him
To die on a tree, Suffering anguish, Despised and rejected, Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, One day the stone rolled away from the door, Then He arose o'er, Death He had conquered, Now is ascended My lord evermore
[Chorus]
Oh, Glorious Day, Oh, Glorious Day
One day the trumpet will, Sound for His coming, One day the skies with His
Glories will shine, Wonderful day, My beloved was bringing, Glorious Savior this Jesus is mine
[Chorus]
Oh, Glorious Day, Oh, Glorious Day, Oh, Glorious Day
Oh, Glorious Day, Oh, Glorious Day, Oh, Glorious Day
One day the trumpet will, Sound for His coming, One day the skies with His, Glories will shine
SONG 9: PREPARE
We prepare the way for you to come and move among us.
Will you draw our hearts and calm our fears,
We want to know that you're for real
We will look to the cross for forgiveness of sin.
We will look to your scriptures for real truth
We'll acknowledge your spirit as you move us and shake us
We love you, we need you.
SONG 10: OPEN UP THE SKY
Our beloved Father, please come down and meet us, We are waiting on Your touch, Open up the heavens, shower down Your Presence, We respond to Your great love
We won't be satisfied with anything ordinary, We won't be satisfied at all
Open up the sky, fall down like rain, We don't want bless-ings, we want You, Open up the sky, fall down like fire, We don't want an-ything but You
Our beloved Jesus, we just want to see You, in the glory of Your light, Earthly things don't matter, they just fade and shatter, When we're touched by love divine, We won't be satisfied with anything ordinary,We won't be satisfied at all
Here we go, let's go to the throne, the place that we belong, right into His arms
SONG 11: FRUIT
This world can bring me down.
Oh this world can bring me down.
But I won't let it; no I won't let it bring me down.
1. Lord give me Your...
2. I've got to live by...
3. Lord show them Your...
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-Control
Every day is a blessing.
Oh every day is a blessing.
Don't take it for granted, for we aren't promised tomorrow.
Father send me to love on people.
Lord send me to love on people.
So I can further give You all the glory.
