Wonderful Peace

1
Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight,
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial like strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.

Refrain
Peace! Peace! wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above;
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray,
In fathomless billows of love.

2
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in my inner most soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!

3
I believe when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Author of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing,
In that heavenly kingdom will be-

4
Weary soul, without gladness or comfort or rest,
Passing down the rough pathway of time!
Make the Savior your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime.

Rest Awhile

Rest awhile, weary child,
In the mighty arms of God.
Lay your head upon His chest,
Close your eyes and simply rest.
He knows all that you need,
He has heard, He has seen.
So come and lay your burdens down,
let His love surround and hold you.

Rest awhile, driven child in the shelter of His wings.
They have been a place of refuge to both homeless and kings.
Rest assured, He knows your needs.
He is the giver of good things.
From ages passed, to eternity He had promised to
Provide for you.

For you are His precious treasure,
He loves you without measure.
You are His delight, priceless in His sight.
And wherever you may go, may you always know,
The tender love of God for you, never failing ever true,
That tender love of God for you, never failing ever true.

Rest awhile, broken child and by healing hands of God.
Hands that hold the reeling spheres,
Will wipe away your tears.
He who makes all things new,
Will do the same for you.
He is faithful, good and true and he's promised to restore you

For you are His precious treasure,
He loves you without measure
You are His delight, priceless in His sight.
And wherever you may go, may you always know,
The tender love of God for you, never failing ever true,
That tender love of God for you, never failing ever true.

I Love You Anyway

"To My gentle searching eyes there have been no disguises
Nothing that you have done that you can hide
I've seen you in your darkness sin and know the pain and guilt within,
But the question on your mind: Am I worth saving anyway?

I see you child for who you are
Know that sin has left its ugly scars
But I know who you were meant to be
And My love will set you free

So come weary child rest beside Me for awhile
I know your care the burdens that you bare
Abide in My love hide in My love
Don't push Me away ashamed and afraid
I know who you are
And I love you anyway My child

So bring Me all your wants and needs
I promise they can't burden Me
Most desperate one cannot exceed My care for you
And bring Me all your doubts and fears
The hurt you haven't faced in years
The wounded heart you stuffed inside
The tears you've tried so hard to hide

So come weary child rest beside Me for awhile
I know your care the burdens that you bare
Abide in My love hide in My love
Don't push Me away ashamed and afraid
I know who you are
And I love you anyway My child

So come to Me just the way you are
Though your fallen hard and wandered far
Stop trying to be so brave so strong
It's okay to cry child tears aren't wrong

So come weary child rest beside Me for awhile
I know your care the burdens that you bare
Abide in My love hide in My love
Don't push Me away ashamed and afraid
I know who you are
And I love you anyway My child
Yes I love you always My child"

Hover o’er me, Holy Spirit (Fill Me Now)

1. Hover o’er me, Holy Spirit,
Bathe my trembling heart and brow;
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence,
Come, O come and fill me now.

Refrain
Fill me now, fill me now,
Jesus, come and fill me now.
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence,
Come, O come and fill me now.

2. Thou canst fill me, gracious Spirit,
Though I cannot tell Thee how;
But I need Thee, greatly need Thee;
Come, O come and fill me now.

3. I am weakness, full of weakness;
At Thy sacred feet I bow;
Blest, divine, eternal Spirit,
Fill with love, and fill me now.

4. Cleanse and comfort, bless and save me;
Bathe, O, bathe my heart and brow;
Thou art comforting and saving,
Thou art sweetly filling now.

How Great Thou Art

1. O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Refrain
Then sings my soul
My Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

2. When through the woods
And forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down
From lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook and feel the gentle breeze

3. And when I think
That God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross
My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin.

4. When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And then proclaim
“My God, how great Thou art!”

Let His Glory Be Seen

Oh I saw a distant land, 
and its glory was so grand
I cried oh Lord how I long to be there
Then I heard His gentle voice, 
“come my child, it is your choice”
Oh such hope that I’d never heard before

Chorus:
Oh arise, let us run, 
for the morning light has come
And the darkness of the night flies away
He has risen, He has come, 
and our home He has won
Let His glory be seen on you today

Then the way grew dark with care, 
my heart trembled in despair
I turned my eyes to my Lord with a prayer
Through the dimness of the dawn, 
deeper truth then I was drawn
Oh such hope, even brighter than before!

There a lonely soul I saw, 
standing near but yet withdrawn
I bade him come to the land bright and fair
With hope’s glimmer in his eye, 
to the darkness said goodbye
Then we sang, a note higher than before!

More Love To Thee

1. More love to thee, O Christ, more love to thee!
Hear thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to thee;
more love to thee, more love to thee!

2. Once earthly joy I craved, sought peace and rest;
now thee alone I seek, give what is best.
This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to thee;
more love to thee, more love to thee!

3. Let sorrow do its work, come grief and pain;
sweet are thy messengers, sweet their refrain,
when they can sing with me: More love, O Christ, to thee;
more love to thee, more love to thee!

4. Then shall my latest breath whisper thy praise;
this be the parting cry my heart shall raise;
this still its prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to thee;
more love to thee, more love to thee!

Open My Eyes

Open my eyes, that I may see
glimpses of truth thou hast for me;
place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my ears, that I may hear
voices of truth thou sendest clear;
and while the wavenotes fall on my ear,
everything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my ears, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Open my mouth, and let me bear
gladly the warm truth everywhere;
open my heart and let me prepare
love with thy children thus to share.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see.
Open my heart, illumine me, Spirit divine!

You Are My All In All

You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all

Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all

Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name

Taking my sin my cross my shame
Rising again I bless your name
You are my all in all

When I fall down you pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all

Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name

Lord I Lift Your Name On High

Lord I lift Your name on high
Lord I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us

You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord I lift Your name on high

All Hail The Power of Jesus' Name

1. All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all.

2. Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race, ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all.

3. Let every kindred, every tribe on this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all.
To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all.

4. O that with yonder angel throng we at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all.

He Has Made Me Glad

I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart
I will enter His courts with praise
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice for He has made me glad

He has made me glad, He has made me glad
I will rejoice for he has made me glad
He has made me glad, He has made me glad
I will rejoice for he has made me glad

Mercy Said No

I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He'd have me be, is who I am

As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul

(Chorus)
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no

For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see

As midnight fell upon the crucifixion day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow

(Repeat Chorus)

(Bridge)
And now when heaven looks at me
It's through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago
