Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me


King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor


I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

[apsalmistspraise]

You are my King! these praises I sing
only for you
You are my King! These praises I bring
only to you
For you alone deserve my praise!
For you alone love me now and always!
You are my King!!

[apsalmistspraise]

i will praise you, i will praise you! with my mouth will i sing, i must praise you i must praise you!

[apsalmistspraise]

all glory be to the heavenly and mighty King!

All God's critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low, some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
And some just clap their hands, or paws
Or anything they got.

Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big to-do
The old cow just goes MOOOOO

The dog and the cat pick up the middle
While the honey bee hums and the cricket fiddles
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
And the old coyote howls

All God's critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low, some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
And some just clap their hands, or paws
Or anything they got.

Listen to the top where the little birds sing
On the melody with the high note ringing
The hoot owl hollars over everything
And the jaybird disagrees

Singin' in the night-time, singin' in the day
Little duck quacks, and he's on his way
The possum ain't got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself

All God's critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low, some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
And some just clap their hands, or paws
Or anything they got.

It's a simple song of livin' sung everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear
Grumpy alligator and the hawks above
Sly raccoon and the turtle dove.

All God's critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low, some sing higher
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
And some just clap their hands, or paws
Or anything they got.

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I'll cast on Him my every care,

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I'll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize;
And shout, while passing through the air,
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!


-William Walford

'Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free
'Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find we're in the place just right
We'll be in the valley of love and delight

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be.
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all, in the dance said he.

When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we shan't be ashamed.
To turn, turn, will be our delight
'Til by turning, turning, we come 'round right

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be.
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all, in the dance said he.

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be.
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all, in the dance said he.

‘The Highest Place’

You are my hiding place
You are my saving grace
A river of mercy,
that flows through me

You are my rock my rest
You are my righteousness
You are my strength
And the new song that I sing

(chorus)

Lord I place you,
In the highest place
All I want to do
Is praise your name
You’re the king of my heart
Lord of my life
The one and only lasting sacrifice

Lord I bow down ,
and worship you
You’re all that is good
All that is true
The joy of my life
The peace in my soul
The one that I know, that I know, that I know
And Lord I place you,
in the highest place.


You are my hope, my health
You are my strength, my help
A refuge from my enemies
My Lord you are my shield

You are the lamb,
The holy one
You are the Father and the Son
You are the only God,
To whom my spirit yields

(chorus)

I guess the song God birthed in me this morning is a confirmation of all the things he is like from the song above written by patricia A. lol

You Are - by Karin Morris - (C) May2,2007
I have no fear for you are with me
I have no fear for you desire me

You are you are
Jehovah-Jirah
You are you are
Jehovah Shalom
You are you are
The Great I Am
You are you are
the Bright and Morning Star

And I will praise you
all my days
and I will lift your name
Give you the highest praise!

[ub4me]

FOR YOU, APSALMISTPRAISE:hug:



I awake with Your name upon my tongue
The day’s begun, with You
At night when I’m weary from the day
My spirit prays, and rests in You

And a flood of peace
Washes over me
A sweet release
A gift from You to me
You kiss my cheek
And touch my head
Watching over me
Father, I’m so blessed

When the emptiness of this world is all too real
I call Your name, and I am filled
When I have failed to make You my shield
through broken praise, I am healed

And waves of mercy
Flows through me
Though I’m hurting
There’s grace to believe
You lift me up
And hold my hand
Embracing me
Father once again

How could I ever doubt , with so much love
You are the God, of more than enough
What have I to fear, You’re by my side
Your power reigns, in my life

Rays of your glory
Shine down on me
Redemption’s story
Now belongs to me
You raise me up
And lift my head
I should have died
But You died instead

Why would I ever want, to walk alone
You are the way, that leads to home
Under Your wings is where I’ll stay
Close to You, in every way

Sweet forgiveness
You extend to me
True deliverance
You’re all I need
You lift my hands
Give me lips of praise
And I will stand
And worship You always

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.


Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

[apsalmistspraise]

i need thee Oh I need thee, every hour i need thee
oh bless me now my savior, i come to thee
You are faithful so faithful to me
you are faithful so faithful to me
I come bow before you
on bended knee
because your faithful so faithful to me!

[JesusChristLives]

I was sure by now, God You would have reached down, and wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, i say amen, and its still raining.
And as the thunder rolls, I barely hear, You whisper through the rain. I'm with you.
And as Your mercy falls
I'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives...and takes away.

And I'll praise You in this storm,
And I will lift my hands
Cause You are who You are
No matter where i am
And every tear i cry
You hold in your hand.
You've never left my side.
And though my heart is torn.
I will praise you in this storm.

I remember when, I stumbled in the wind.
And as I cried You, raised me up again.
But my strength is almost gone,
how can i carry on
If i cant find You

And as the thunder rolls I barely hear You whisper through the rain, I'm with you.
And as Your mercy falls,
I'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives...and takes away.

And I'll praise You in this storm,
And i will lift my hands
Cause You are who You are
No matter where i am
And every tear i cry
You hold in Your hand
You've never left my side.
And though my heart is torn.
I will praise You in this storm.
And though my heart is torn.
I will praise You in this storm

I lift my eyes unto the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker..of heaven and earth.
I lift my eyes unto the hills, where does my help come from? My help coems fro mthe Lord, the Maker, of heaven and earth.

And I'll praise You in this storm
And i will lift my hands
Cause You are who You are.
No matter where i am
And every tear i cry
You hold in Your hand
You've never left my side.
And though my heart is torn.
I will praise You in this storm.

[JesusChristLives]

Blessed be Your name,
In the land that is plentiful
Where you streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name.

Blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though i walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name.

Every Blessing You pour out I'll
turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in Lord, still i will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be You name
When the suns shining down on me
When the worlds all as it should be
Blessed Be Your name.
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though theres pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name.

Every Blessing You pour out I'll
turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in Lord, still i will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your glorious name.

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name.

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be Your name

As The Deer
Words and music by Martin Nystrom
© 1984 Marathana Music

As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs after Thee
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship Thee

You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship Thee

You're my friend and You are my brother
Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything

I want You more than gold or silver
Only You can satisfy
You alone are the real joy-giver
And the apple of my eye

Psalm 63:1-5 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

[tulc]

How can I keep from singing?

My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation:
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?

What though my joys and comforts die?
The Lord my Savior liveth;
What though the darkness gather round!
Songs in the night He giveth:
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of Heav’n and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it:
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing:
All things are mine since I am His—
How can I keep from singing?
-Robert Lowry

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower.
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.
-Irish hymn

All good gifts

We plow the fields, and scatter the good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered by God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.

Refrain

All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above,
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all His love.

He only is the Maker of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him, by Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, His children, He gives our daily bread.

Refrain

We thank Thee, then, O Father, for all things bright and good,
The seed time and the harvest, our life, our health, and food;
No gifts have we to offer, for all Thy love imparts,
But that which Thou desirest, our humble, thankful hearts.

Refrain
-Matthias Claudius

Make My Life A Prayer To You

Make my life a prayer to You,
I want to do what you want me to,
No empty words and no white lies,
No token prayers, no compromise,
I want to shine the light you gave,
Through Your Son, you sent to save us,
>From ourselves and our despair,
It comforts me to know you're really there.

Oh, I want to thank you now, for being patient with me,
Oh, it's so hard to see, when my eyes are on me,
I guess I'll have to trust and just believe what you say,
Oh, you're coming again, coming to take me away,

I want to die, and let you give,
Your life to me, so I might live,
And share the hope you gave to me,
The love that set me free,
I want to tell the world out there,
You're not some fable or fairy tail,
That I made up inside my head,
You're God, The Son, you've risen from the dead.

Oh, I want to thank you now,
For being patient with me,
Oh, it's so hard to see,
When my eyes are on me,
I guess I'll have to trust,
and just believe what you say,
Oh, you're coming again,
Coming to take me away.

I want to die, and let you give,
Your life to me, so I might give,
And share the hope you gave to me,
I want to share the love that set me free.

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I see,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I see,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me to just, live it Lord.
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.

Oh Lord, please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clean.
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That burns with Holy fear.

I want to take your word and shine it all around.
But first help me to just, live it Lord.
And when I'm doing well, help me to never seek a crown.
For my reward is giving glory to you.

Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I see,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.
Oh Lord, you're beautiful,
Your face is all I see,
For when your eyes are on this child,
Your grace abounds to me.

Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy and crown.

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast.

Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forever more be Thine.
-from 12th century

In a still small voice in the middle of the night,
Brother Martin heard the simple truth
And he followed its pleading, though it led to a crossroads,
Parting in the days of my youth.
From the heart of my city came a single scream
And I heard it through all the white noise.
And the papers told us that they'd killed The Dream,
But they never killed the still small voice.

All the lies come at you in a million ways
Some you hear and some you tell yourself
And they say that virtue is a pile of gold
And that weapons are a nations wealth
But when kings stand naked in their ugly schemes
Will the poor of this world rejoice
Will they sell their children down a bloody stream
Or will they listen to a still small voice

Now the one-eyed bandit in your living room
Will convince you that you have no time
And it will swear to take you on your one free ride
While it's looking for your one last dime
But the light of heaven is a simple gift
And you can see it when you make that choice
It will shine like riches in your inmost heart
But it will speak in a still small voice
-David Wilcox

Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Keep them safe and sound below
'Till the rain comes tumbling down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
Man is made of dreams and bones
Need a place to call my own
'Cause the time is close at hand

Grain for grain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
Till my body and my brain
Tell the music of the land

Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
Please keep them safe below
'Till the rain comes tumbling down

Plant your rows straight and long
Season with a prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her loving care

An old crow watching hungrily
>From his perch on yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there

Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low
Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Keep them safe and sound below
'Till the rain comes tumbling down

Jesu, joy of man's desiring,
Holy wisdom, love most bright;
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
With the fire of life impassioned,
Striving still to truth unknown,
Soaring, dying round Thy throne.

Through the way where hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings;
Where the flock, in Thee confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown
- Johann Sebastian Bach

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

O come, thou rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave.

O come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by thine Advent here;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.

O come, O come, thou Lord of love,
Declare thy Law all law above;
From dire oppressions bring release
And lead us in the way of peace.
-12th-century Latin

[tulc]

Awake were they only,
those shepherds so lonely,
on guard in that silence profound:
When color had faded,
when nighttime had shaded
their senses from sight and from sound,
Lo, then broke a wonder,
then drifted asunder
the veils from the splendor of God,
When light from the Holy
came down to the lowly,
and heaven to the earth that they trod.

May light now enfold us,
O Lord, for behold us,
like shepherds, from tumult withdrawn,
Nor hearing, nor seeing,
all other cares fleeing,
we wait the ineffable dawn.
O Spirit all-knowing,
Thou source overflowing,
O move in the darkness around,
that sight may be in us,
true hearing to win us
Glad tidings where Christ may be found.
-old Welsh carol

[VictoryInHIM67]

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

Here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me


King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor


I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross



That is one of my Favs our praise team does!!

my personal fav is:

Amazing Love
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,
I’m accepted, You were condemned.
I am alive and well, Your sprit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.
(Repeat x2)

(Chorus)
Amazing love,
How can it be?
That You, my King would die for me?
Amazing love,
I know it’s true.
It’s my joy to honor You,
In all I do, I honor You.

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,
I’m accepted, You were condemned.
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.

(Repeat chorus x2)

You are my King
Jesus You are my King
(Repeat x4)

(Repeat chorus x2)

You are my King
(Repeat x8)

Thank you Lord, for saving my soul, thank you Lord for making me whole, thank you Lord, for giving to me, thy GREAT SALVATION so rich and free!!!

it has been nearly 50 years since I last heard that chorus. We used to sing it in the Church of the Nazarene in Wainwright, Alberta away back in the 1950's.

I am not much of a singer. In fact I went to high school choir and the prof. came to my room in the dorm after try outs and said, "you can come to choir but please don't sing out loud."

If I could sing I would sing "Amazing Grace", "Where the Roses never fade," and "How Great Thou Art".

sad that you felt you should not sing because of someone else telling you not to. Says in the Bible in psalms: MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD. doesn't say joyful to everyone else. joyful to the LORD.

“ Glory Cloud ”

(1.)
Poured out on the alter
Sweet anointing oil
All consuming fire
Burn in me

(2.)
I adore you Father
Let your plan unfurl
Hear my heart’s desire
To serve Thee


(chorus)
I feel your Spirit in the midst
As your children sing your praise
We want everything there is
Let your glory fill this place
We’re not content to just be still
When you’re calling us to come
For on the other side of this hill
Is a victory that’s been won
So move us
Into your presence
Receive us
Lord we humbly bow
Use us
Savor the essence
Meet us
In the glory cloud


(3.)
Rivers of mercy
Streams from your heart
So broken into
Just for us

(4.)
Lord you are worthy
Of everything we are
Let all we say and do
Portray your Love

Shout To The Lord


Shout to the Lord, all the earth,
let us sing
power and majesty, praise to the King;
mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand,
nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

My Jesus, My Savior,
Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days
I want to praise
the wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength;
let every breath, all that I am
never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth,
let us sing
power and majesty, praise to the King;
mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand,
nothing compares to the promise I have in You.

"Who Am I"

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

[VictoryInHIM67]

"Bring The Rain"

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

[Lightbearer3]

The moon is high and the sunset fades
The lullbies have all been sung
We're tuckin' in another day
And the stars appear now one by one
But the stillness moves and the silence yields
And not a single beat is lost
You can hear the chorus in the fields
Taking up where we left off

And Your praise goes on,
Rising to Your throne
While You guard us while we dream
Past the stars they fly,
Your praises fill the sky
'Til You wake us with the dawn
And Your praise goes on

Now bring your warmth, O morning sun
Chase the stars and the moon away
And wake us with your brightest song
And add our voice to your refrain
Now rise up every thing that lives!
Flap your wings and leap for joy!
Oh forest lift your arms and sway!
Clap your hands you ocean waves!

And Your praise goes on,
Rising to Your throne
Where You bless our toil and play
Through the clouds they rise,
Your praises fill the skies
'Til the setting of the sun
And Your praise goes on

And when my final breath You lend
I'll thank for the life you gave
But that won't mean my praises end
'Cause I won't be silenced by the grave!
And Your praise goes on
I'll be running to Your throne
With every nation, tribe and tongue
To Your arms I'll fly
I'll gaze into You eyes
Then I'll know as I am known
And Your praise goes on
And Your praise goes on
And Your praise goes on

alll i really wanna do is praise my Lord

Awesome God

When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the Ritz
(our God is an Awesome God)
There is thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(our God is an Awesome God)
Well the Lord He wasn't jokin'
when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very close and so you better be believin'
That our God is an Awesome God

REFRAIN
Our God (our god) is an Awesome God
He Reigns (he reigns) from heaven above
With Wisdom (with wisdom)pow'r and love
Our God is an Awesome God

When the sky was starless in the void of the night
(our god is an awesome god)
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
(our god is an awesome god)
Judgement and wrath He poured out the Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an Awesome God

REFRAIN x 3

[jdale72]

Oh mighty well spring forth with life, no death shall enter. We sing His praise hosanna's ring from realm to realm. As those that walk with God upon the earth now gather, not to express themselves but only showing Him. A great Light has sprung forth in the darkness as the Christ proclaims this day. Arise ye earth proclaim your birth a new creation and let that Light spring forth in you this way.

[apsalmistspraise]

awesome God come to me, I declare your majesty, in all the world let me see, the wonder of your ways!-karin morris

[apsalmistspraise]

I will bow down, I will say, you are the truth you are the way...I will stand up I will say- you are the only way

For you are way, the truth, the life
For you are the light that shines in the darkest night

I will bow down, i will say: You are the only way!

I will lift your praises high among the heavens
I will sing along in tongues of angels
I will smile as i know you do
as I sing forever for you!

I will sing forever for you! - Karin Rochelle Morris Jan 11, 2008

I'm a writer, but not of songs or poems. I can do no better than Chris Tomlin's "Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)" and to see why they are so meaningful to me, please read my profile.

"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

(Chorus) My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

(Chorus x2)

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
