"Holy, Holy, Holy"

"Holy, Holy, Holy"



Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy; merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

"Hope Set High"

"Hope Set High"


I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light

I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
And I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now

[Chorus:]
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus

[Chorus]

You know that when it all comes down

[Chorus]

I've got my hope set high
And like a star at night
Out of the deepest dark
It shines the purest light

I've got my hope set high
Beyond the wrong and right
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
Cause I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now

[Chorus]

I'll tell you when it all comes down

[Chorus]

"House Of Love"

"House Of Love"


[Chorus:]
Well I'll bet you any amount of money
He'll be coming back to you
Ooh I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love

You've been up all night
Thinking it was over
He's been out of sight
At least for the moment
But when something this strong
Gets a hold on you
The odds are ninety-nine to one
It's got a hold on him too

[Chorus]

Now when the house is dark
And you're all alone inside
You've gotta listen to your heart
And put away your foolish pride
Though the storm is breaking
And thunder shakes the walls
Love with a firm foundation
Ain't never gonna fall

[Chorus]

Though the storm is breaking
And thunder shakes the walls
Love with a firm foundation
Ain't never gonna fall

[Chorus]

"How Can We See That Far"

"How Can We See That Far"



We said our promises by candlelight
You held my hands, I was dressed in white
We were young
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

I knew I wanted you like no one else
I told my momma that I'd found myself
In your eyes
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

But like your daddy said
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
Will drive our fears away

And when I woke you in the dead of night
To hold my hands, push away the fright
Life had come - a son
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

Yeah we were nervous and a little scared
Until the music of our baby's cry
Filled the air
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?

But like your daddy said
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
Will drive our fears away

We might die
We might die
We could hurt each other badly
Do things, things so hard to forgive
Oh and if time is not our friend
Your mind might forget me before the end
And oh I cannot
I cannot look that far

But like your daddy said
How can we see that far?
The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
And the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
And the mighty wind that knocks us down
If we lean into it
How can we see that far?
Will drive our fears away
It's the same sun, yeah
And the same rain
It's the same sun
And the same rain

"How Mercy Looks From Here"

"How Mercy Looks From Here"



The water rose today,
The river with the rain
Memories and picture frames
Are floating miles away.
Through the wreckage and the mud,
The ruins after the flood,
She survived at 91, hmm

Some would have given up
Drowning in their tears
But on her wrinkled face
A smile appeared.

When you face your greatest fear
Losing all that you hold near
Open up your eyes my dear,
Oh how mercy looks from here.

The call I couldn't take,
Unbearable mistakes
A brilliant mind that fades away
A baby doll beside the grave

When you face your greatest fear
Losing all that you hold near
Open up your eyes my dear
Oh how mercy looks from here.

I would have given up, drowning in my tears
If it wasn't for your voice all these years

When you face your greatest fear
Losing all that you hold near
Open up your eyes my dear
My dear

That's when boundless grace appears
Unseen angels hover near
Saints are singing loud and clear
Oh how mercy looks from here.
Oh how mercy looks from here.

Oh how mercy looks from here.
Oh how mercy looks from here.

The water rose today...

"I Don't Know Why"

"I Don't Know Why"



This is one of those moments
When all that really matters
Is crystal clear

We are woven together
By whatever threads of life that have
Brought us here

We are stripped of all our layers
We are getting to the core
Tell me something real
And nothing more

Cuz I don't know why
I don't know how
I don't know where
Baby all I know is love

So I'm here between the bookends
Of everything that was and What will be

There's a wealth of every nation
Not so many answers
It seems to me

So I face the unfamiliar
And nothing's clear
Only blinding faith can carry me can carry me from here

And I don't know why
I don't know how
I don't know where
Baby all I know is love

Hold my hand and hold this moment
Time sure feels precious don't it
Life is always changing
This I know

I don't know why
I don't know how
I don't know where
Baby all I know is now
Baby all I know is now

"I Have Decided"

"I Have Decided"


[Chorus:]
I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe
I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't, cause I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord

There's a wealth of things that I profess
I said that I believed
But deep inside, I never changed
I guess I'd been deceived
Cause a voice inside kept telling me
That I'd change by and by
but the Spirit made it clear to me
That kind of life's a lie

[Chorus]

So forget the game of being good
And your self-righteous pain
Cause the only good inside your heart
Is the good that Jesus brings
When the world begins to see you change
Don't expect them to applaud
Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself
I've become the work of God

[Chorus]

"I Know Better Now"

"I Know Better Now"


Some people always know the right thing to say
I don't really think I was born that way
And with the gift of charm they're well endowed
I love to watch them float right through a crowd

[Chorus:]
I used to think it took a giggly girl
To win some fame in this mixed around world
But I know better now

One day I met a man who showed me love
There standing on His head was a snowwhite dove
And he said, once I came down to this mire for you
But I'm the Son of God, He's your Father too
It wasn't long until my new walk began
Since I've found Jesus, my life is in His hands

Now I have a life, no one can take it from me
And I've a home above I'm waitin' to see
There're many rooms in the house of the Lord
Why don't you come along, and bring someone more

[Chorus]

"I Love A Lonely Day"

"I Love A Lonely Day"


T.V.'s off at 1:00 a.m.
One more day alone again
The road gets longer everyday
Why'd I have to get away
But I have found a comfort here
Solitude can be so dear
Loneliness is not so blue
When it puts my mind on you

[Chorus:]
I love a lonely day
It makes me think of you
All alone, I can easily find your love
I love a lonely day
It chases me to you
It clears my heart
Lets my very best part shine through
It's you

Lonely people everywhere
Lucky, lonely ones who care
You've got all you need and more
Someone to be lonely for
Someone cries for you to hear
Take your heart and wipe their tear
Give them someone they can miss
Give them love and sing them this

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"I Love You"

"I Love You"


You were pretty crazy
Back when we fell in love
Wanting to be everything
That I would be proud of
Hours we spent dreaming
How we'd beat the odds
Now the truth has hit us
Life is very hard
Life can be so hard

[Chorus:]
I love you
Deeper than I ever dreamed of
I need you
Staying here 'til we can work it out
I want you
Knowing that through all the changes
I love you
Somehow I just had to tell you now

Oh to stay your princess
If I only could
If you never saw the rotten
Only saw the good
You'd still be Prince Charming
But we would never know
How it's in the darkest times
True love finally grows
Come on true love grow

[Chorus]

You got me, I got you
Sometimes it takes a little working through
But I can tell you now

[Chorus]

I love you...
