Chorus: I will sing to the Lord, I will give him the praise, He has become my salvation, When he became my strength and my defense. (3x) Verse: There’s no other God like Him! Awesome in Glory, Greatness and majesty, Yet with unfailing love, He leads us!

Intro Verse 1: If all ground should give way, If spirits should grow faint, Would the waves of terror whelm my soul? Verse 1: Like as though under His wrath, Cast away, full of anguish, In the darkest depths I crawl, Severed from His sight to languish, Bridge: But I remember His Word, Never forgot His deeds, If the earth should give way, I can say... Chorus: Be still, my soul! And know that the Lord is God, O be still, my soul! And know that the Lord is your refuge, For though you see chaos and uproar, Just be still, and know that He’s the Lord, God! Intro Verse 2: Leading me on stony path, As His good will, No greater feat can a man learn, Than to be still!

Verse 1: If you ask, you’ll be given, Love of God, will of heaven, Do to others what you would have them do unto you! Verse 2: If you seek you will find it, To forgive deep from within (Give in!) Do to others what you would have them do unto you! Chorus: Enter the small gate, (Narrow’s the road) Seekers will find it, (Just seekers will find it), Narrow’s the road, It leads you to Life, Just enter the small gate, (Narrow’s the road) You’ll do unto others, What you’d have them do unto you! Verse 3: If you knock on the door, See the door will be opened, Do to others what you would have them do unto you, Verse 4: It’s the will of the heavens, For the happiness on earth (For earth), Do to others what you would have them do unto you!

Verse 1 The more the wise try to figure God out, All the more illusive He seems, God’s beyond grasp, For flesh and blood, Without the revelation of Christ! Hook 1 No one knows the Father above like Jesus the Son, And those to whom He’ll reveal, Come to Him O heavy laden, And you’ll find rest for your souls, Rest for your souls! Chorus: O saving Grace, Revealed by the Lord, O blessed are you, In knowing your God, Find rest for your souls, Above flesh and blood, Receive from the Lord, The revelation of Christ! Verse 2 Believers may sow, They spread the Word far, On fertile and barren hearts, Yet the called out are only those, To whom the Father shall reveal His Son! Hook 2 They’ll confess the Christ, The Son of the living God, Revealed only from above, Blessed, blessed, blessed are you! For you’ll find rest for your souls, Rest for your souls, (Chorus repeated)
6.
Gift of God 06:42
Verse 1: If you knew the gift of God, And the Lord that bids you come, You will know that He’ll supply, Like a stream that won’t run dry. Verse 2: For the living waters flow, So deep within your soul, That you’ll never thirst again, And old cravings will seem mundane! Verse 3: Bringing all your worldly cares, For divine solutions, Manifest the Life you’ve found, To an ailing world around. Bridge: Let your life reveal, Living waters heal, There’s eternal Life in Jesus Christ, the Lord! Chorus: He’s the Gift of God, He’s the Gift of God for you and I.

Glory 05:00
Intro: Glory, glory, to Him all glory....(Repeated Vocalese) To Him all glory, All glory Him belong! Verse 1 Who knows the mind of God the creator? What unsearchable depth His wisdom and judgement may prove! His paths are beyond tracing for human mind, Though it tends, and documents, then makes amends! Bridge 1 Tell, who was God’s grand counsellor? Showing him the path, To covet His glory and praise, Chorus And they sing praises, They give glory to God, Praise Him for the glory Forever and ever more! Verse 2 Who knows the mind of What unsearchable depth His wisdom and judgement may prove! His scale is beyond all reach for human hands, They deny, and so they try, then they defy! Bridge 2 Tell, who was God’s grand counsellor? Showing him the rule, To covet His glory and praise, When the heavens and the earth thrive on His grace! Chorus And they sing praises, They give glory to God, Praise Him for the glory is God’s Forever and ever more!

Chorus: Let’s not worry ‘bout our lives here, Our Father up in heaven has come near, He’ll provide! Verse 1: Watch the birds soar, See the flowers bloom, They don’t spin, No, they don’t sow for tomorrow, He’ll provide! Verse 2: Let us seize life today, For tomorrow is yet to come our way, And if things should be in line, Why not seek His perfect design! Chorus: Let’s not worry ‘bout our lives here, Our Father up in heaven has come near, He’ll provide! Bridge: Ooh... Chorus: Let’s not worry ‘bout our lives here, Our Father up in heaven has come near, He’ll provide! He’ll provide!

Standing here with nothing left, Desolate in the dark, Was beaten and bereft, All alone on my knees, How I wept, ‘Till my tears ran dry! Running like a marked beast, There is no where to hide, In all my search at least, This I found Only one way out, That’s to find strength in the Lord. Though the heat and flames may seem to abide, You know He’ll lead you through the fire! Though friends and foe may seem to unite Take heart! Your Lord is at your side! Let the walls around me close, I could care less today, For I have found the most precious One, In His strength I’ll walk, In His strength I’ll walk! Let the walls around me close, I could care less today, For I have found the most precious One, In His strength I’ll walk, In His strength I’ll walk!

Chorus: The heavens tell and display, Day after day, The work of your hands, Night’s starry expanse, The warmth of the sun, Depriving no one, Declare without words! Verse 1: Your plans so perfect and sure, Love, radiant and pure, They’re light to our eyes, The simple made wise, The skies speak so clear, For ears that will hear, They speak without words! Verse 2: For your precepts are more precious than gold, Telling beyond material hold, Glorious truth sparks joys untold, Disclosing at once, worldly dogmas of old, To be free of pain and woe. Chorus: The heavens tell and display, Day after day, The work of your hands, Night’s starry expanse, The warmth of the sun, Depriving no one, Declare without words!

Oh Lord, and poured your power in this vessel of clay! Verse 1: Lord if ever I should boast, I shall sport my flaws! It seems your power shines the most, Through the cracks and crumbling walls!
