Song Lyrics

For Sunday, April 21

 

Behold Our God

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

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?

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

Bridge
You will reign forever
(Let Your glory fill the earth)

 

From the Depths of Woe

From the depths of woe I raise to Thee
A voice of lamentation
Lord, turn a gracious ear to me
And hear my supplication
If You should count our every sin
Each evil deed or thought within
O, who shall stand before Thee? (echo)
O, who shall stand before Thee? (echo)

To wash away the crimson stain
Grace, grace alone prevaileth
Our works, alas, are all in vain
In much the best life faileth
For none can glory in Thy sight
All must alike confess Thy might
And live alone by mercy (echo)
And live alone by mercy (echo)

Therefore my trust is in the Lord
And not in my own merit
On God my soul shall rest
His Word upholds my failing spirit
His promised mercy is my fort
My comfort and my sweet support
I wait for it with patience (echo)
I wait for it with patience (echo)

What though I wait the live-long night
And ’til the dawn appeareth
My heart still trusteth in the Lord
It doubteth not nor feareth
So let the Israelites in heart
Born of the Spirit do their part
And wait ’til God appeareth (echo)
And wait ’til God appeareth (echo)

Though great our sins and sore our woes
His grace much more aboundeth
His helping love no limit knows
Our utmost need it soundeth
Our Shepherd good and true is He
Who will at last His Israel free
From all their sin and sorrow (echo)
From all their sin and sorrow (echo)

 

Before the Throne of God Above

Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great high priest whose name is love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heav’n He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I Am
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself, I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God

 

Sermon: Wrestling . . . in the Night

Bible Passage:  Psalm 4 (clicking on the verse will take you to the Bible passage)

 

Lord I Need You

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You’re the One that guides my heart

Chorus
Lord I need You, O, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
O God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Bridge
Teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on You
Jesus, You’re my hope and stay

 

Benediction: Jude 24-25

24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
