Lyrics N – Y

NOW MAY THE GOD OF HOPE

Now may the God of hope  |  Fill you with with all joy and peace  |  Now may the God of hope  |  Fill you with all joy and peace  |  In believing
That you may abound  |  In hope by the power  |  That you may abound  |  In hope by the power  |  Of the Holy Spirit  |  Of the Holy Spirit

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

 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

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

POWER AND RICHES

Power and Riches  |  Wisdom and Strength  |  Honor and Glory  |  And Blessing
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION

And You rose up from the grave  |  And ascended into heaven  |  Death could not contain You  |  The Resurrection and the Life  |  You washed our sins away  |  As You crushed the serpent’s head in  |  You’ve beaten death for every man who proclaims You are the Christ  |  By the power of the resurrection
You were there for just three days before ascending into heaven  |  Showing each believer how we pass from death to life  |  And now the power of the grave  |  And the power of the fallen one  |  No longer exist  |  Because we’re trusting in the Christ  |  And the power of the resurrection
I will trust in Jesus  |  I will trust in the Christ  |  I will trust in Jesus  |  I will trust in the Christ  |  In the power of the resurrection
Death has no power over You   |  Death has no power over me  |  Death has no power over you  |  Death has no power over me  |  By the power of the resurrection

PRAISING SURROUNDS US

Praising surrounds us  |  Praise that is boundless  |  All of creation is singing His Name  |  Praise the Creator  |  And witness His splendor  |  Heaven and earth proclaim it the same…  Today
Today is the day of salvation He tells us  |  All of creation cries out to see men  |  Saved by the Son Who was sent to redeem us  |  All of creation cries out to see men…  Saved
And we’ll keep singing Your Name  |  And we’ll keep singing Your praise  |  Everyone singing His Name  |  Everyone singing His praise
Jesus the Savior gives rest from our labor  |  We cast our care to His throne  |  Loving our God while loving our neighbor  |  While all creation groans

PRAISING THE NAME

Praising the Name | Praising the Name | Praising the Name of Jesus | Praising the Name above all other names | No other name is like Jesus
Praising the Name by which men must be saved  |  And we all must be saved in Jesus’ Name

PRELUDE

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

RELEASE THE CAPTIVES

Lord, when You release the captives  |  We are like those who dream  |  Our mouths are filled with laughter  |  And our tongues with song  |  They’ll say among the nations  |  “The Lord has surely done great things”  |  You’ve done great things for us  |  Through Christ, Your Son
He who goeth forth with weeping  |  Bearing precious seed  |  Shall doubtless come again rejoicing  |  Bringing with him sheaves
He that sows with tears  |  Shall reap with joy  |  Jesus release  |  The captives, Lord

SET US APART

Set us apart for the kingdom  |  Turn our world upside down  |  Sanctify us for Your glory  |  Make this Holy Ground
We enter in |  To the throne room  |  By the Blood of the Lamb  |  A most unlikely brethren  |  Before the great I Am
Humbled by our salvation  |  Given what we don’t deserve  |  We’re becoming Holy sons and daughters  |  By His Holy Word
We are not of this world  |  We were called out by the King  |  Called to love Him and each other  |  More than anything
Set us apart

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

SHOWERS OF BLESSING

May the showers of blessing come down  |  Let the showers of blessing come down
Lord, make Your Covenant of peace  |  And cause the wild beasts to cease  |  That they may dwell safely  |  In the woods they may sleep  |  Lord, make Your Covenant of peace
Lord, raise up Your garden of renown  |  Raise up Your garden of renown

SLEEPER

Wake up, O sleeper (sleeper)  |  Rise from the dead (rise from the dead)  |  And Christ will shine on you
Be very careful, then  |  How you live  |  Not as unwise, but as wise  |  Making the most of every opportunity  |  Because the days are evil  |  Therefore do not be foolish  |  But understand  |  What the Lord’s will is
Do not get drunk on wine  |  Which leads to debauchery  |  But be filled with the Spirit  |  Speak to one another in psalms  |  Hymns and spiritual songs  |  Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord

SO UNREASONABLE

It makes no sense  |  It makes no sense  |  It makes no sense at all
My gut reaction  |  Is to not believe it  |  Simple logical  |  Says that I can’t receive it  |  But there’s nothing like His love  |  There’s nothing like God’s love  |  It’s so unreasonable

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

TELL ME ABOUT THIS JESUS

Tell me about this Jesus  |  For Whom all the angels sing  |  Tell me about this Jesus  |  That Magi gifts would bring
He is King!  |  He is Lord!  |  Savior of all men!  |  Tell me about this Jesus  |  That I might see Him then
Tell me about this Jesus  |  Who bore my sin on the tree  |  Tell me about this Jesus  |  Who died for you and me
Tell me about this Jesus  |  His tomb empty still today  |  Tell me about this Jesus  |  Who washes sins away
Tell me about this Jesus  |  Who so faithfully took the nails  |  Tell me about this Jesus  |  True Love Who never fails
He is King!  |  He is Lord!  |  Savior of all men!  |  Tell me about this Jesus  |  That I might see Him then

THIS IS A TEST

This is a test  |  This is only a test  |  This is a test  |  Of my strength in Christ  |  O God, search me  |  And know my heart  |  Test me and know my anxious thoughts
The Lord is my strength and my song  |  He has become my salvation  |  And I will sing of Your strength  |  In the morning I will sing of Your love  |  Your love
This is a test  |  This is only a test  |  This is a test  |  Of my strength in Christ  |  O Lord, lead me  |  In the way everlasting  |  See if there is any offensive way in me

 TO HIM WHO IS ABLE

To Him Who is able  |  To keep you from falling  |  To present you before  |  His glorious presence
Without fault  |  And with great joy  |  To the only God  |  Our Savior  |  Be Glory  |  Majesty  |  Power and Authority
Through Jesus Christ  |  Our Lord  |  Before all ages now  |  And forevermore
Now and forevermore

TO ONE ANOTHER

To one another  |  To one another  |  In Holy Fellowship of Spirit, Son and Father
To one another  |  To one another  |  This wondrous Unity of Jesus  and His followers

TWO PENNIES

As Jesus looked up  |  He saw the rich put their gifts into the Temple treasury  |  He also saw  |  A poor widow  |  Put in two pennies
I tell you the truth  |  Tell you the truth  |  This poor widow has put in more than all of the others
For all the rest  |  They only gave up a little  |  Of their abundance  |  But she gave all  |  In her poverty  |  All she had to live on
I tell you the truth  |  Tell you the truth  |  Jesus, teach me to give like this poor widow  |  I tell you the truth  |  Tell you the truth  |  Lord, let me give  |  Like this poor widow

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

I just don’t know how to love You  |  Even with so much instruction  |  There always seems to be a disconnect  |  I don’t know where this is going  |  Suddenly my thoughts are flowing  |  And I am just not so sure what is correct
So I wait for You  |  What else can I do?  |  Tell me the truth  |  Is it really You?
I don’t want to fight the feeling  |  Thus my cleaver ways of dealing  |  Circumvent the Spirit |  Speaking love to me  |  A little more than mere ignoring  |  Yearning yet to be sent soaring  |  On the wings of eagles  | But what does that mean?
Suddenly the time has come to whisk away the fear of Your love  |  Intimacy softly stealing  |  Giving way to waves of healing  |  On a not so distant shore  |  Afraid I put my hand in Yours  |  Take me away  |  Anywhere  |  Hold me while I stop and stare

WHAT I WAS CREATED FOR

You don’t need me  |  To tell You that You’re Holy  |  ‘Cause Your Word says so  |  And Your Word is true  |  And You don’t need me |  To tell You that You’re mighty  |  But God Almighty  |  Maybe You do
‘Cause isn’t that what I was created for?  |  To worship You  |  And sing Your praise  |  Isn’t that what I was created for?  |  To know the Son of God  |  And exalt His Name  |  Again and again
Do You really need me  |  To say that You are awesome?  |  With this mouth  |  That You shaped for me  |  Do you really need me to lift my hands to heaven?  |  When You can already see everything?
But isn’t that what I was created for?  |  To worship You  |  And sing Your praise  |  Isn’t that what I was created for?  |  To know the Son of God  |  And magnify Your Name
You don’t need me to finish what You started  |  You don’t need me to make this world spin  |  The sun and stars and moon and all of Your creation  |  They don’t depend on me for anything
But isn’t this what I was created for?  |  To worship You  |  And to sing Your praise  |  Isn’t that what I was created for?  |  To know the Son of God  |  And glorify Your Name  |  Isn’t that what I was created for?  |  Isn’t that what I was created for?

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

YOUR LOVE IS

Your love is the measure of who we are  |  Your love is the measure of who we are  |  Your love is the measure of who we are in You
Your love is the treasure in this precious jar  |  Your love is the treasure in this precious jar  |  Your love is the treasure – we’re being poured out for You
Let us be useful wherever we go  |  May we plant and water what You want to grow  |  Though it’s a mystery, yet we still sow  |  For You
Lead us rejoicing wherever we go  |  Let us sow seeds of the Word that will grow  |  Deep in good soil  |  That only You know

 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
