How Great

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

Light from Light
03:11
|

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

Back for help

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

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

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

Painted Wings
05:32
|

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

Praise the Lord

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!

The end will never come
03:30
|

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
