Lyrics A – G

A MORE EXCELLENT WAY

We sing out to You  |  A song of hope  |  We shout out to You  |  A cry for faith  |  We wait and we pray for Your heart of love  |  Faith, hope and love  |  We ask in Jesus’ Name
Show us  |  A more excellent way

ALL HEART

There’s a choice to be made  |  As I give back to You  |  The only thing I really have to offer  |  Let me be not like Cain  |  Not able to persuade  |  Giving You what You’ve already made  |  I want to give back to You  |  Being Abel in my heart  |  The first fruits of my very life  |  And my heart’s the only thing  |  That really comes with this choice  |  Everything else is already Yours
It’s all heart  |  It’s all heart  |  It’s all heart  |  Let me give back to You
The choice has been made  |  I must present it to You  |  Something more than just another song  |  Your blood’s the only thing  |  That can really free me to live  |  Your altar waits to set my heart upon  |  It’s all heart
Now the choice is up to us  |  Don’t be afraid  |  To put it all in Jesus’ gentle hands  |  It’s all heart
It’s not my heart  |  It’s not my heart  |  It’s not my heart  |  It belongs to You  |  Jesus

 AND NOW, O LORD GOD

And now  |  O Lord God  |  You are God  |  And Your words are true  |  And You have promised this goodness to Your servant  |  Now therefore  |  Let it please You  |  To bless the house of Your servant  |  That it may continue before You forever  |  For You  |  O Lord God  |  Have spoken it  |  And with Your blessing  |  Let the house of Your servant be blessed  |  Forever  |  Amen

ARE MY FEET BEAUTIFUL?

How beautiful are the feet  |  Upon the mountain  |  How beautiful are the feet  |  That bring good news  |  Good news and peace  |  And salvation
How beautiful are the feet  |  Upon the mountain  |  How beautiful are the feet  |  That bring good news  |  Good news and peace  |  So Lord I’m asking You
Are my feet beautiful?
When Jesus washed Peter’s feet  |  He made ’em beautiful  |  So Peter said, “Wash all of me!”  |  Jesus said, “No.”  |  ‘Cause He’d already given him the keys  |  To the kingdom, you know  |  Yeah, Peter was already clean  |  ‘Cept his feet

AS YOU THEREFORE

As you therefore  |  Have received Christ the Lord  |  So walk in Him  |  Rooted and built up in Him  |  Established in faith  |  As you have been so taught  |  Abounding in it  |  With thanksgiving
Beware lest anyone cheat you  |  Through philosophy  |  And empty deceit  |  According to the tradition of men  |  According to the basic principles of the world  |  And not according to Christ
For in His body dwells  |  All the fullness of God  |  And you are complete in Him  |  The Head of all principality and power  |  Yes, you are complete in Him  |  Buried, baptized and raised from the dead with Him
If then you were raised with Christ  |  Seek those things which are above  |  Where Christ is  |  Sitting at God’s right hand  |  Set your mind on the things above  |  Not on the things on the earth  |  For you have died  |  And your life is hidden with Christ  |  In God
But above anything else  |  Put on love  |  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts  |  To which you were called  |  In one body  |  And be thankful
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly |  In all wisdom  |  Teaching and admonishing one another  |  In Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs  |  Singing with grace in your hearts  |  To the Lord

BACK AROUND TO YOU

I am lost without You  |  My heart’s on the run  |  Turned my back upon You  |  With everything  |  Everything I’ve done  |  Then I try to scramble  |  Find my way back to You  |  But every time  |  This I find  |  My heart  |  Is wicked and deceitful
Help me in my weakness  |  To do the right thing  |  Help me in this silence  |  When my soul cannot sing  |  Help me in the darkness  |  Lead me in the light  |  Oh help me, help me Jesus  |  It all comes back around to You  |  Every time
Once again I’m shivering  |  Out in the cold  |  Told myself a million times  |  But this state of mind  |  Never lets me go  |  Here I am ‘awondering  |  Why You let me go  |  But every time  |  I realize  |  It’s my heart
How far can I run?  |  How long can I run?  |  Why do I run?  |  From You

BETTER THAN THIS

Thought I saw you in McDonald’s  |  Sittin’ by yourself  |  And I coulda sworn you were cryin’  |  And all the other lonely people at breakfast there  |  Took a moment  |  To stop and stare  |  But hey…
Things are gonna get better than this  |  This are gonna get better  |  You’re out on the top for a while, and then you’re sinking low  |  But things are gonna get better
It’s raining so hard I can barely see the road  |  But I’m nowhere near my destination  |  People pulling off, but I just keep on going  |  You know I got no reservations  |  But hey…
For God has poured His love out into our hearts  |  By the Holy Spirit  |  Oh, thank You, Lord
So the next time  |  You’re feeling sorry for yourself  |  Feeling like the Enemy has won  |  Open your Bible to chapter five of the book of Romans  |  Put your faith and hope in God’s only Son  |  Jesus Christ
Do you know Jesus?  |  Don’t you know Jesus?  |  You must know Jesus…

BLESSED TO BE BLESSED

I’m blessed to be blessed  |  By the One who made the skies  |  I’m blessed to be blessed  |  By the One who hears my cry  |  Him I glorify  |  He gave me ears and eyes  |  Now I know inside  |  That for me He died  |  I’m blessed to be blessed  |  By the One who hates my pride
I’m blessed to be blessed  |  By the One who forever reigns  |  I’m blessed to be blessed  |  By the God who does not change  |  I’ll praise His Holy Name  |  For His only Son came  |  I’m forever changed  |  Yes, He’s healed the lame  |  I’m blessed to be blessed  |  By the One who knew my pain
I’m blessed to be blessed  |  In a world I can’t control  |  I’m blessed to be blessed  |  By the Lover of my soul  |  When He calls the roll  |  As it’s been foretold  |  I’ll be standing there  |  Wearing my white robe  |  I’m blessed to be blessed  |  I’m blessed  |  To be blessed

THE BREAD OF ADVERSITY

You have answered my prayers in a way I did not expect  |  You have answered my prayers in a way I did not anticipate  |  You have answered my prayers in a way I did not want  |  But You have answered my prayers in the way that You knew was best
Through the bread of adversity and water of affliction I’ve learned  |  To trust in You with all my heart and all my soul and all my strength  |  No longer can I push my Teacher away  |  For the bread of adversity and the water of affliction are a lesson  |  Here to stay

BREAK FREE

Your ways are perfect, Lord  |  And I am not  |  Your ways are acceptable  |  I’m some kind of exception  |  Your ways are so good  |  Help me to remember  |  To prove that You did not die in vain
I wanna break free  |  From the cares of this life  |  I wanna break free  |  From these sinister times  |  I wanna break free  |  Lord, transform my mind  |  Let me not be conformed to this world  |  I wanna break free
Lord, transform  |  And restore

CHEERFUL GIVER

In all things  |  At all times  |  Grace abounds  |  In Jesus Christ
May I be a cheerful giver  |  May I be a cheerful giver  |  For God loves a cheerful giver  |  Lord, how You love a cheerful giver
May I give my hope  |  May I give my time  |  May I give Your love  |  May I give You my life
Whoever sows sparingly  |  Will also reap sparingly  |  Whoever sows generously  |  Will also reap generously

THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER

The words of the wise are like goads  |  Like firmly nailed fences  |  A scholar’s treasure trove  |  But given by a Shepherd  |  Be careful, my son  |  By these be admonished  |  They’ll be writing many more  |  But they’ll only weary our flesh
Now all has been heard  |  Here’s the conclusion of the matter  |  Everything done under the sun  |  Here’s the conclusion of the matter
Fear God  |  And keep His commandments  |  Fear God  |  And keep His commandments  |  For this is everything there is to man  |  Yeah, this is all there is to man
For God will judge  |  Every hidden thing  |  All your works and deeds  |  As good or evil  |  God will judge  |  Oh so righteously  |  Every secret thing  |  As good or evil

DONE IN LOVE

Let all that you do be done in love  |  Let all that you do
For we through the Spirit  |  Eagerly wait  |  For the hope of righteousness  |  By faith

DOXOLOGY

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow  |  Praise Him all creatures here below  |  Praise Him above ye heavenly host  |  Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Lord Jesus took on earthly form  |  Great signs and wonders He performed  |  To show that what those prophets said  |  Foretold the Gospel He would spread
Subject no more to Adam’s sin  |  If only we believe in Him  |  For when He died upon that cross  |  He paid in full for us death’s cost
Go spread the word to all the nations  |  In Jesus we are new creations  |  No longer sowing seeds of sin  |  But bearing fruit worthy of Him
And because He hath loved us first  |  His glory lives in our rebirth  |  Accepting His free gift of grace  |  Until we see Him face to face
And when the Lord shall come again  |  We’ll all before His judgment stand  |  Bowing before His mighty sword  |  Proclaiming Jesus Christ is Lord  |  Amen

EVERYTHING IS GOOD

Everything is good  |  In heaven and on earth
The earth is the Lord’s  |  And all it’s fullness  |  The world and those who dwell therein
The earth is the Lord’s  |  And all it’s fullness  |  The world and those who dwell therein  |  Founded on the seas  | Established on the waters  |  And waiting for the King of Glory  |  To come in

FILL ME UP

Help me  |  O Lord  |  And fill me up
Fill me up
Save me  |  O Lord  |  And lift me up
Lift me up
We praise You  |  O Lord  |  And take Your cup
We take Your cup  |  Fill me up  |  We take Your cup  |  Lift me up

FOR YOU ARE WITH ME

The Lord is my Shepherd  |  I shall not want  |  He makes me to lie down  |  In green pastures  |  He leads me beside the still waters  |  He restores my soul  |  He leads me in the paths  |  Of righteousness  |  For His Name’s sake
Yea, through I walk through the valley of the shadow of death  |  I will fear no evil  |  For You are with me  |  Your rod and staff  |  They comfort me
You prepare a table  |  Before me  |  In the presence  |  Of my enemies  |  You anoint my head with oil  |  My cup runs over  |  Surely goodness and mercy  |  Shall follow me  |  All the days of my life  |  And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

GONNA GET BETTER

I thought I saw you in McDonald’s sitting by yourself  |  And I coulda sworn you were cryin’  |  And all the other lonely people at breakfast there  |  Took a moment to stop and stare  |  But hey…
Things are gonna get better than this  |  This are gonna get better
It’s raining so hard  |  I can barely see the road  |  But I’m nowhere near my destination  |  People are pulling off  |  But I gotta keep on goin’  |  You know I got no reservations  |  But hey…
Things are gonna get better than this  |  This are gonna get better  |  You’re out on the top for a while  |  And then you’re sinking low  |  Things are gonna get better  |  Gonna get better, better  |  Better, better…
Two thousand years ago a man named Paul wrote to the folks in Rome  |  Told us to rejoice in our suffering  |  For suffering produces patience  |  And patience character  |  Character produces hope  |  Therefore since we are justified by faith  |  Hope will not disappoint us  |  For God has poured His love out  |  Into our hearts  |  By the Holy Spirit

 GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL

The LORD is gracious and merciful  |  Slow to anger  |  Abounding in love  |  The LORD is good to all  |  And His mercy is over all He has made
The LORD is near to all who call on Him  |  Who call in truth  |  Fulfilling the desires of those who fear  |  He hears and saves  |  Each generation to the next declares  |  His mighty works  |  His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom that endures
All Your works shall give You thanks, O LORD  |  They speak of the glory of Your kingdom  |  They tell of Your power  |  Making known to the children of man Your everlasting praise  |  They shall pour forth the fame of Your abundant goodness
You open up Your hand and satisfy  |  The desire of every living thing  |  You are righteous  |  Kind in all Your works  |  And my mouth will speak of Your praise

GREAT AND MARVELOUS

Make a joyful shout to God  |  All the earth  |  All the earth  |  Sing out the honor of His Name  |  Make His praise glorious, glorious, glorious  |  Say to God, “How awesome are Your works”
By the greatness of Your power  |  Your enemies shall fall before You  |  All the earth shall worship You  |  And sing praises to Your Name  |  Praises to Your Name  |  Great and Marvelous are the works of God

GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS

They put a robe upon you  |  And called you “king”  |  And slapped you in the face  |  They pierced you with a jagged crown of thorns  |  What were they thinking  |  On that day?  |  To beat someone else bloody  |  And call him names  |  And make like it’s a game  |  O what were You thinking?  |  In the midst of Your creation  |  Gone so far astray
You came and died so violently  |  Yet You came to give us peace  |  You came to take away our sins  |  Long before they would cease…
It seems so inconceivable  |  As they drove those nails through Your hands  |  That here was God Immortal  |  Dying for His people  |  Right there in their promised land  |  And why is it so easy?  |  For us to sin  |  And why is it so easy?  |  For us to turn our backs on You  |  Again and again
You came at the appointed time  |  To set the captives free  |  And the very sin that You forgave  |  Hung You on a tree
Greater love  |  Greater love  |  Has no one than this
You poured Yourself out for everyone  |  Knowing only some would drink…
