How Great 04:14
How great, how great, how great you are Above all praise, in every way You knew me from the start Each time I run to you, you know I don’t get far Each time I pray Lord, that’s you in my heart Each time I call to you, I only need to whisper Each time I sing, oh my soul sings How great is our God, breather of stars Of each intimate thought, the infinite How great is his name, who’s hands held no blame But they took hold of my shame He said just be who you are How great, how great, how great you are Above every name, love meant to stay Given free, sacred heart Each time I run to you, it doesn’t matter that I’m so slow Each time I pray Lord, I see how little I know Each time I call to you, a whisper seems too loud Each time I sing, its like I see how How great is our God, breather of stars Of each intimate thought, the infinite How great is his name, who’s hands held no blame But they took hold of my shame He said just be who you are If we could just be who we are, who we are We could set this world alight If we could just be who we are Really who we were made to be We could set this world on fire

You have shown us the strength You have shown us how to love You have shown us the way to walk To reach the heavens above You have shown us the way You have shown us how to stand You have shown us how to fall And how to get up again After all you’ve done you gave us The freedom you have won After all you’ve done you’ve saved us You sent your only son Our hearts are on fire We are burning for you We are arms open wide We are on fire We are living your truth We are all you made us Lord So your love burns on You have held my hand You have never let me go When I fell down on my knees You carried me all on your own You have shown me myself You have given me all that’s true You have given me a new song That I may worship you After all you’ve done u gave us The freedom you have won After all you’ve done you’ve saved us You sent your only son Our hearts are on fire We are burning for you We are arms open wide We are on fire We are living your truth We are all you made us Lord So your love burns on

You came from heaven to earth It was written before your birth We nailed you to a cross Where you died … for all of us Yes you died for all of us By the power of your love my sins are washed away So I won’t keep from singing another day For the blood you gave to save me I offer my life to you Lord, who set me free Light from light and truth from truth All that we can hope to bring is this offering to you A reflection of your glory and your endless love Bringing light from light again ... into your world On the third day you rose again Reunited with all your friends They saw and they believed But I’m blind … and somehow I see Yes we’re blind … can we believe? By the power of your love my sins are washed away So I won’t keep from singing another day For the blood you gave to save me I offer my life to you Lord, who set me free Light from light and truth from truth All that we can hope to bring is this offering to you A reflection of your glory and your endless love Bringing light from light again ... into your world Yeah now now now you come into your world Morena now we sing your praise Yeah now now now we see your matchless worth Morena now we seek your face

Was there really an age When we saw the face for the smile? Was there ever a time, Or is this just denial? Was there ever a day When we cared less for what we wore And more for what we gave Not we held in store Was there really a day When we respected life before birth? Where was I then? Was I even on this earth? Or am I lucky Just to be alive Was I so close To this life being denied We lifted our hands, With our prayers to the sky Arms open wide With praise to you And I never saw so many, I never saw so few Change the world The way you showed them to They exalt you ... it’s all they do Was there ever a time When no one cared where we were born Was there ever a day When we would all just get along With no worries Of where we walked at night And all that mattered Was that you walked by our side We lifted our hands, With our prayers to the sky Arms open wide With praise to you And I never saw so many, I never saw so few Change the world The way you showed them to They exalt you ... it’s all they do

Hosanna 03:45
Hosanna in the highest shout the people And they declare your unending love No one sees now the hate they found Dividing them out for so long Hosanna in the highest shout the masses All praise and honour to your son Who brought the world from darkness into light Ended the night, and forgave us all for what we’d done And I will be, a messenger of hope for thee And I will give, every moment in which I live To you God, you know what is in my heart And I will stand, a reed in the wind I bow to your plan Holy holy God of power sing the angels They declare you are king of kings And we join in their unending song With all that we can bring Holy holy Lord sing the people God of might and of power Heaven and earth are full of your glory Blessed is he who, comes in the name of the Lord And I will be, a messenger of hope for thee And I will give, every moment in which I live To you God, you know what is in my heart And I will stand, a messenger, and a mortal man Hosanna in the highest Holy holy God of Power Holy holy Lord ... holy holy Lord And I will be, a messenger of hope for thee And I will give, every moment in which I live To you God, you know what is in my heart And I will stand, a reed in the wind I bow to your plan ... and here I stand, a messenger, and a mortal man

Adoration 03:30
I don’t know what you think But I could come to like this Spend time just thinking about your love Cause I’m not sure where I stand When I stand before you But somehow kneeling is safe enough Here for the world to see Aint it funny how seeing doesn’t mean you believe Here, just staring at me And now my hearts’ believing, my eyes can see … you Mvana ka tixo Esusa izono Mvana wa Nkulunkulu Izono Zelizwe Sometimes, I’m not sure what you’re saying 'Cause I’m too busy talking Deafened by the thought I give myself When the world roars in your ears It’s hard to be silent But your whisper’s always loud enough Here, where this silence speaks Your voice creeps in where my thoughts should be Yeah here, talking to me And now my heart is still, so your voice can lead Mvana ka tixo Esusa izono Mvana wa Nkulunkulu Izono Zelizwe Ngwana wa morena Tseya dibi Ngwana wa morena Tsali fatse

To one so strong, sings one so weak What can I say to thee? Could I thank you for your time, thank you for your love Or is a smile enough? I see you smiling now Of one so humble, sings one so proud I know God’s very hand picked you out I could sing of the pain you felt, all that you endured But it’s hard to write a single word It’s over now The light has pushed the darkness out Let him paint the wings, on your back He’ll set you up, to fly And as you soar there, don’t look back You’ve left this world of pain behind Of one so humble, sings one so proud And God’s very hand holds you now Gracious heart that knew only love Selfless care from a daughter and from above That’s not over now Her love will find you somehow You wear these painted wings on your back He’s set you up to fly And now you soar there, you don’t look back You’ve left all of your pain behind To one so strong, sings one so weak What can I say to thee? ... goodbye

I am overcome I am blessed with your love I am more with you by my side Than I could ever have become on my own I will be your friend I will be your strength When others have deserted you I’ll stand till the end

Redeemed 04:24
Arms open wide As if trying to grasp something too big to hold For my sin you died Trying to keep me off the ground One act of kindness, I am free One act of favour, I’m redeemed My saviour, came for me One act of love, and a blind world can see We are redeemed, our souls made clean We want them to know We are alive, to lift him high this king who died ... for me Arms open wide As a child would show the reach of your love For my sin you died Trying to help me understand One act of kindness, set me free One act of favour, and I was redeemed He’s my saviour, and he came for me One act of love, and a blind world can see We are redeemed, our souls made clean We want them to know We are alive, to lift him high This king who died for me Sing praise to the Lord, you faithful Give thanks to your God’s holy name For our sins he bore, to that cross Where death lost, and he died to rise again

Stand Up! 03:40
Maybe this is the day When all our voices rise Maybe they shout Jesus name And maybe the darkness dies What if this was the day When all the battle scars faded away And our war cries gathered in one refrain To lift his name on high Stand up! Don’t be divided This is our call to arms Stand up! We’ll be the sign Of his love in this life ... now we gotta stand up Maybe this is the day When our sword is his word Maybe this is the time When our faith, our shield holds firm What if this was the day Girded in truth we threw sin away The armor of God in our hearts And his spirit in our midst Stand up! Don’t be divided This is our call to arms Stand up! We’ll be the sign Of his love in this life ... we gotta stand up We give him the glory We give him the glory We give him the glory We give him the glory ... in this life Stand up! Don’t be divided This is our call to arms Stand up! We’ll be the sign Of his love in this life ... we gotta stand up Stand up! Don’t be divided This is our call to arms Stand up! We’ll be the sign Of his love in this life ... we gotta stand up ... and his people stood up

Much deeper than the oceans Much greater to behold Creation shouts a song of worship And now all the Earth sings along And I can see the glory of my king Treasured in every heart And I can hear the song of all the Earth Crying out through the dark Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord From heaven and earth to the king Let them praise the name of the Lord For his name alone is exalted Praise the Lord! Much higher than the heavens Much harder to contain The night time sky testifies your glory The stars join our refrain And I can see the splendor of my king Treasured by every heart And I can hear all the universe Crying out through the dark Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord From heaven and earth to the king Let them praise the name of the Lord For his name alone is exalted Praise the Lord!

If I walk in a valley, or on a mountain Let my prayer be the same Weather I’m blinded by the darkness, or the light Let this prayer remain Glory be to the father Glory be to his Son Glory be to the love they share, the holy one As it was at the start As it is right now And will be forever one ... Because the end will never come If I walk all alone, or in a crowded place Let this prayer be in my heart Whether I’m taken by the beauty, or by the sadness Let this cry be a part And if I stand on rock or sand May it still show who you are Glory be to the father Glory be to his Son Glory be to the love they share, the holy one As it was at the start As it is right now And will be forever one ... Because the end will never come Glory be to the father Glory be to his Son Glory be to the love they share, the holy one As it was at the start As it is right now And will be forever one ... Because the end will never come For a man bled and died to rescue us For a king stepped down, to show us how to love Glory be to the father Glory be to his Son Glory be to the love they share, the holy one As it was at the start As it is right now And will be forever one ... Because the end will never come Glory be to the father Glory be to his Son Glory be to the love they share, the holy one As it was at the start As it is right now And will be forever one ... Because the end will never come
