Lyrics

PRELUDE

And let the hills hear your voice!  |  And let the hills hear your voice!

 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

YESTERDAY, TOMORROW AND TODAY

Steadfast love and faithfulness meet  |  Righteousness and peace kiss  |  Faithfulness springs up from the ground  |  From the sky righteousness looks down  |  So let us hear what God will speak  |  For He will speak peace to His saints  |  Let us not turn our eyes from Him  |  His salvation is near and awaits
Each king comes and each king goes  |  And we’ll never remember most of their names  |  But there’s just one who’s over them all  |  Jesus Christ is the same  |  Yesterday, tomorrow and today
And He still calls us out of the boat  |  And He’s still there when we start to sink  |  Ye of little faith  |  Keep your eyes on Him  |  It’s easier than we think  |  Because faithfulness springs up from the ground  |  From the sky righteousness looks down  |  So let us hear what God will speak  |  For He will speak peace to His saints

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  |  To 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…

SOUL ANCHOR: HOPE

My soul anchor: hope  |  My sole anchor: hope
God has given us promises and our God cannot lie  |  Our God lives forever  |  He never faints nor dies  |  In the order of Melchizedek  |  Jesus went behind the veil  |  Into the presence of Almighty God  |  Blazing our trail
Jesus Christ was crucified and raised up from the dead  |  Now He sits at God’s right hand  |  Interceding  |  Faithfully  |  Continually  |  In never ceasing prayer  |  For you and me  |  That we might come  |  Casting all our care

STEADFAST AND IMMOVABLE

Blessed is the man who fears the LORD  |  Who delights in His commands  |  His descendants will be mighty  |  Generations blessed  |  Wealth and riches in his house  |  His righteousness endures  |  Unto the upright arises light  |  Even in the darkness
Therefore my beloved be steadfast and immovable  |  Always abounding  |  In the work of the LORD  |  Knowing that in Him your labor is not in vain
For the righteous shall never be moved  |  He will be remembered  |  He has given to the poor  |  His strength will be exalted  |  He will have no fear of death  |  His heart is firm and trusting  |  The wicked sees  |  Gnashes his teeth  |  Melts away and perishes

 YOUR MERCY IS DIVINE

Your mercy is divine  |  Your presence is greater than anything  |  As I’m waiting for a sign  |  Your mercy is ever present in my life
I cry aloud  |  I wanna touch what is true  |  But my heart’s so proud  |  It distorts my view of You  |  So deep is my doubt  |  Yet I long to be one with You  |  And I drop down  |  In pensive adoration

O MY SOUL!

Bless the LORD  |  O my soul!  |  And all that is within me  |  Bless the LORD  |  O my soul!  |  And all that is within me
And praise the LORD  |  O my soul!  |  With all my inmost being  |  Praise the LORD  |  O my soul!  |  With all my inmost being
Who forgives  |  All of our sin  |  Who heals all of our diseases  |  Who redeems our lives from destruction  |  Who crowns us  |  With lovingkindness  |  And tender mercies  |  We love Your mercy!
As far as east is from the west  |  Our sins removed though we transgress  |  He pities those who fear Him thus  |  Remembering that we are but dust
As for man  |  His days are like grass  |  Like a flower  |  The wind passes over  |  And is gone  |  Remembered no more  |  But the mercy  |  Of the LORD is  |  From everlasting to everlasting!
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  |  Amen

INTERLUDE

And let the hills hear your voice!  |  And let the hills hear your voice!  |  Arise and plead your case!  |  And let Wisdom hear His Name!

SHOW US 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

HE CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS TOO

What are you feeling tonight?  |  It’s obvious something’s not right  |  You’ve counted your blessings  |  And tried to forgive  |  But you still sit there wanting to cry  |  Yet who can you count on tonight?
So what are you feeling inside?  |  That’s making you so want to hide  |  Are you facing Goliath  |  With just a handful of stones  |  And something’s about to collide  |  So what are you missing inside?
Won’t somebody sing out a song of His love  |  For all of us hurting tonight  |  Won’t somebody sing out a song of His love  |  For everyone hurting inside
He can take care of this too  |  Yes, God can take care of that too  |  Jesus is praying  |  Remembering you  |  And He can take care of this too
What are you feeling tonight?  |  Still holdin’ on to that pride?  |  You’ve counted your blessings  |  But won’t count on Christ  |  Yet for you He laid down His life  |  You need to give Jesus your life

HE CAME, HE LIVED, HE DIED, HE ROSE

He came  |  He lived  |  He died  |  He rose
No greater love has ever been shown  |  No greater love has ever been known  |  No greater life has ever been lived  |  No sin exists that He didn’t die to forgive
There in the garden He sought the Father’s will  |  In perfect obedience He climbed that hill  |  There on the cross He died in full view  |  And then from the grave  |  Arose the truth
And as we find sometimes we need reminding  of this inexhaustible truth  |  It’s been written down to guide us  |  Present us with the proof  |  Witnesses have testified  |  Prophets have prepared the way  |  That we might have the answer  |  And confidently say…

HE IS THE ONE (EYES ON JESUS)

He is the One  |  Who sat down  |  At the right hand  |  Of the throne of God
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus  |  The Author and Perfector of our faith  |  Who for the joy set before Him  |  Endured the cross  |  Scorning it’s shame
He is the One  |  Who sat down  |  At the right hand  |  Of the throne of God  |  He was opposed  |  That we might not  |  Grown weary  |  Nor lose heart
Be still and know  |  That He is God

THE ONLY HOLY GOD

Father, we come to You with nothing  |  But broken hearts and lives  |  We do not understand the depth of our sin  |  Though we try  |  Faithfully would You receive our worship?  |  Though we don’t deserve  |  To enter into Your presence  |  For even a moment  |  To be seen or heard
You are the only Holy God  |  Perfectly, truly sublime  |  You never let us go  |  We’re always on Your mind  |  And You always have the time  |  For us
Jesus, You paid the price of admission  |  To come before this throne  |  By meeting You here now we are admitting  |  That only You can atone  |  For the sin  |  And our shame  |  And the grief  |  And the guilt  |  That separate us from God  |  The living sacrifice You made  |  Is without a flaw

HE LOVES US TO DEATH

The mystery of God is beyond comprehension  |  For His Son came here to die and let people reject Him  |  Now He’s back on high  |  And though it may not make sense  |  Hallelujah!  |  He loves us  |  To death
The mercy of God is beyond understanding  |  It is painfully clear  |  And so undemanding  |  For He said, “It is finished”  |  With His last dying breath  |  Hallelujah!  |  He loves us  |  To death
Such a great mystery  |  Love and hate nailed Him to that tree  |  No there’s nothing else needed  |  His blood’s paid our debt  |  Hallelujah!  |  He loves us  |  To death
Ain’t it so simple to see?  |  That He hung there for you  |  And for me  |  Won’t you take what He offers?  |  Cause He’s offering you rest  |  Hallelujah!  |  He loves us  | To death
The patience of God  |  So many are testing
We need forgiveness from sin  |  But we just want His blessing
Jesus died in your place  |  That’s your only defense
Hallelujah!  |  He loves you to death  |  Hallelujah!  |  He loves me to death  |  Hallelujah!  |  He loves us  |  To death

 OH THE DEPTHS!

Who has known the mind of the LORD?  |  Or who has been his counselor?  |  Who has ever given to God?  |  That God would have to repay him?
Oh the depths  |  Of the riches  |  Of the wisdom  |  Of the knowledge of God
How unsearchable  |  His judgments  |  And His ways  |  Inscrutable
Who has known the mind of the LORD?  |  Or who has been his counselor?  |  Who has ever given to God?  |  That God would have to repay him?
For from Him  |  And through Him  |  And to Him  |  Are all things
I believe  |  With all my heart  |  That Jesus Christ  |  Is the Son of God
And from Him  |  And through Him  |  And to Him  |  Are all things
To Him be the glory forever
