"Be THou My Vision"

VERSE 1
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.

VERSE 2
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

VERSE 3
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the 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.

VERSE 4
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.

VERSE 5
High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

"How Deep The Father's Love"

Verse 1
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.

Verse 2
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders.
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished.
His dying breath has brought me life.
I know that it is finished.

Verse 3
I will not boast in anything,
No gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer;
But this I know with all my heart,
His wounds have paid my ransom.

"Behold Our God"

Verse 1
Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice.
All creation rises to rejoice.

Chorus
Behold our God, seated on His throne.
Come let us adore Him.
Behold our King, nothing can compare,
Come let us adore Him!

Verse 2
Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His words?
Who can teach the
One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

Verse 3
Who has felt the nails upon His hand,
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal, humbled to the grave,
Jesus, Savior, risen now to reign!

We WIll Follow

Verse 1
 Christ invites the undeserving:
 “Leave your nets and follow Me.”
 Watching, hearing, loving, serving—
 Slaves of Christ are truly free.

Chorus
 “We will follow!” Rise up and say,
 “We will follow our Lord!
 To the end of the world and age,
 We will follow Christ our Lord!”

Verse 3
 Christ has sent us to the nations:
 “Call the lost to follow Me.”
 Reach the sinner; preach salvation;
 Teach the things you’ve heard and seen.

Verse 4
 Christ will summon His disciples
 From His throne beyond the skies:
 “You have followed Me through trials;
 Follow me to paradise.”



Yet Not I But Through Christ

Verse 1
What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy my righteousness and freedom
My steadfast love my deep and boundless peace

To this I hold my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to his
Oh how strange and divine I can sing all is mine
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 2
The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side the Saviour he will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need his power is displayed

To this I hold my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley he will lead
Oh the night has been won and I shall overcome
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 3
No fate I dread I know I am forgiven
The future sure the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And he was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released I can sing I am free
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 4
With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For he has said that he will bring me home
And day by day I know he will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne

To this I hold my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to him
When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I but through Christ in me

We Will Glorify 

Verse 1
We will glorify the King of kings.
We will glorify the Lamb.
We will glorify the Lord of lords,
Who is the great I Am.

Verse 2
Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty.
We will bow before His throne.
We will worship Him in righteousness.
We will worship Him alone.

Verse 3
He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth.
He is Lord of all who live.
He is Lord above the universe,
All praise to Him we give.

Verse 4
Hallelujah to the King of kings!
Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Hallelujah to the Lord of lords,
Who is the great I Am!

Worthy Of WOrship

Wonderful Counselor, Comforter, Friend,
Savior and Source of our life without end.
