One day
03:26
|
|||
|
One day the powers of hell were put to shame
that day when Jesus died and rose again
bringing life to all who trust in him
and hope for those who are suffering
Jesus reaches out and we will praise
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God almighty,
is the Lord God almighty!
One day the world will see you face to face
amazed at how you've given us your grace
every tongue declaring all you've done
redeeming us through your precious Son
earth will join with heaven singing praise
(Chorus)

The earth is the Lord's
04:06
|
|||
|
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it
The earth is the Lord’s, and all who live in it
Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in His holy place?
Only those with a pure, clean heart
who seek Your face, O God
Lift up your heads, O you gates
Be lifted up, you ancient doors
Lift up your hands, O you people
that the King of glory may come in
And who is this king, this King of glory?
He is the Lord, strong and mighty
Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in His holy place?
Only those with a pure, clean heart
who seek Your face, O God
(Chorus)

Come holy fire
05:08
|
|||
|
Every walk, every past,
gathered in your name;
fallen hearts, weary souls
we whom you forgave.
Humbly now we bow before your mighty throne,
and recognise the power of your name.
Come holy fire,
set our hearts ablaze with passion,
come breath of God,
fan the flames of our desire,
one heart, one mind,
we have gathered here to worship.
Closest friend, humble king,
you are worthy, Lord.
So we turn from our sin,
drawing close to you;
set aside hopes and dreams,
we will follow you.
Trusting not in our own strength but in your power,
saved by grace and not by what we've done.
Chorus
Now to you we will sing
of your matchless grace.
Now our souls are set free
to worship in this place.
Earth and heaven open wide to praise your name,
reconciled, united in your blood.
Chorus

Do I need riches
04:37
|
|||
|
I'm laying down my foundation stone where I think it should be
build a wall around the things that are important to me
blinded by the triviality of security
protecting me
I take the things that I treasure most and lock them all away
making sure that thieves and villains cannot take them from me
I cannot bear to live without all my luxuries
they're all I have
they're all I am
Do I need riches
or people watching me
do I need lengthy words
to honour you and praise
You came to earth and went to dinner with the blind and the lame
they didn't offer you expensive gifts, they just praised your name
you didn't hang around with princes, but lifted the shamed
in grace you saved
You said there's more to this life than making money for gain
camels won't go through a needle's eye, life is no game
you cannot win just by playing by society's rules
they're not the same
as your perfect way
Do I need riches
or people watching me
do I need lengthy words
to honour you and praise
I don't need riches
or people watching me
I don't need lengthy words
to honour you and praise
I'll honour you with praise
All I want is you
All I need
I'm laying down my foundation stone where God says it should be
breaking down my walls and being who you want me to be
all my treasure stored in heaven for eternity
that's where I'll be
that's where I'll be
You are my riches
you're all I'll ever need
direct me by your words
to honour you in praise

The mystery of the cross
03:15
|
|||
|
Hands that created the earth and the sea
Those were the hands that were nailed to a tree
Tower of strength, God of infinite might
Dragged through Jerusalem without a fight
The mystery of the cross
that you would choose to save those who were lost
It's incomprehensible what you have done
The fathomless love of the Son.
God of all majesty, glorious above
Scorned and despised by the ones that he loved
Friend of the sinner, and friend of the lame
Tortured and beaten for taking the blame
Chorus
Till suddenly, gloriously, rose from the dead
giving us hope again, just like he said
He died to forgive us and paid for our sin
but rose to be with us and welcome us in
Chorus

Amazing grace (intro)
00:58
|
|||
|
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.

Amazing grace
04:33
|
|||
|
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 o fear,
and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
a life of joy and peace.
When we've been there a thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we first begun.

Come back to me
04:12
|
|||
|
So you think I don't remember when you said you'd follow me
years ago when you were young and innocence was free
when the sun was always shining as you made your memories
nobody stood against you, it was easy to believe
But now that all that water's passed beneath a bridge or two
you've told yourself it's all a game so you don't face the truth
Somewhere along the road you've taken all the wrong advice
and now you find you're even more alone
Come back to me
Come back to love
Come back to where you should always have been
Come back to me
My grace is enough
I want you to see
I would move mountains for you
So you think that you are too far gone and nothing could be done
you've stayed away and lived your life, but always on the run
Do you think that I don't see what you have said and what you've done
you think you've burned your bridges, passed the point of no return
We both know you haven't lived exactly to my plan
you've given your excuses thinking I won't understand
But there's nowhere you could run that I have not already been
take my hand and let me lead you home
Chorus
There's a price that must be paid to bring you back to me
it's more than you could bear, that's why I paid it on the tree
no sin too great, no path too far that you could not return
just take my hand and I will guide you home
Chorus
