REJOICE! REJOICE!

*

Rejoice!  Rejoice!   In our LORD’s exaltation

Children of Zion, be joyful in Your King!

He beautifies the humble with salvation

Saints, be joyful in glory and sing!

*

Sing, o sing, a song of triumph!

The LORD our God, He reigns, He reigns, He reigns!

Sing, o sing, a song of triumph!  The LORD our God, He reigns!

*

Rejoice!  Rejoice!  And sing now a new song

Jesus, Messiah, Emmanuel!  

He has exalted the horn of Zion

Great is the Holy One of Israel!

*

Rejoice!  Rejoice!  The Lion of Judah

Leads forth His people in victory!

Rejoice!  Rejoice!  O sing, Hallelujah!

Behold the King reveals His glory!

ETERNITY

*

CHORUS

He has placed in our hearts eternity

That part of us that looks beyond what we see

And the void in our souls

Only He can make whole

For in our hearts He has placed eternity.

*

There you go ‘round in circles again

There you go only grasping at wind

Though you’ve traveled the world and been here and been there

Somehow your life just won’t go anywhere.

When, oh when will you be satisfied?

Why, oh, why are you empty inside?

*

There you sit with the gain which you sought

Though sometimes asking, “Was it for nought?”

There you sit with your knowledge and books so well read

But late at night you still cry on your bed

When, oh when will you be satisfied?

Why, oh, why are you empty inside?

*

There’s Someone who’ll give you a new start

There’s Someone who’ll bring joy to your heart

Turn to Jesus the Savior and He’ll give you peace

He’ll give you rest and your running will cease

Why, oh, why did Christ suffer and die?

It was for you, child to be filled inside.

FINAL CHORUS

He has placed in our hearts eternity

That part of us that looks beyond what we see

And now joy floods my soul

Since My Lord made me whole

And He’ll live in my heart for eternity.

DOMINION

*

I watched as thrones were all put in their place

The Ancient of Days sat to hear the case

His garment of white glistened as the snow

His hair was as pure as the wool a lamb grows

Around His throne a fiery flame did burn

With wheels of fire that ever did turn

A thousand thousands ministered to Him

Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him

The court was seated, the books were opened and read.

The books were opened and read:

Chorus:

God’s kingdom is an everlasting kingdom

And His dominion, His dominion reigns!

God’s kingdom is an everlasting kingdom

And His dominion reigns!

And His dominion reigns!

Bridge:

Glory, honor, glory, honor, glory, honor, dominion!

Glory, honor, glory, honor, glory, honor, dominion!

I watched in night visions, and then behold!

The clouds of the heavens began to unfold

And there One like the Son of Man came

Before the throne, Jesus Christ was His name

And unto the Lamb was granted dominion

An everlasting dominion

All peoples and nations shall serve Him

And every knee shall bow before Him

And with His saints, the Lord will reign forever!

The Lord will reign forever!

Chorus:

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom

And Your dominion, Your dominion reigns!

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom

And Your dominion reigns!

And Your dominion reigns!

SING NOW MY HEART

*

Sing now, my heart, sing now, my soul
Your love for Him, His name extol!
Sing now, my soul, to God above
Open your heart, receive His love.
AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH!
♥
Break loose, my tongue, and sing His praise
Lift up your hands, your hearts now raise
He’s waiting now, your voice to hear
O Lord to You, I now draw near!
AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH!
♥
My soul does long to see Your face
O enter in His Holy Place
Bow down before His awesome throne
I come to You, I am Your own.
AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH!
♥
O Lord My God, how great Your name!
Forevermore, You are the same!
Sing now, my heart, sing now again
O Lord, now send, Your living rain!
AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH!

Sing now, my heart, sing now, my soul!
Sing now, my heart, sing now, my soul!
AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH! AlleluYAH!

Your Love!

*

When enemies encompass me ‘round about

My God is there, close to me, without a doubt

When fiery darts fly in from every side

God is my shield, my fortress, therein to hide

*

Who can be against us, if God be on our side?

If His Holy Spirit in our hearts resides?

Who can snatch us from His mighty hand?

Against the Lord, no foe can withstand!

Chorus:

For I’m persuaded beyond all doubt
Though many are set against me ‘round about
That neither death nor life
Nor persecution nor strife
Nor angels, nor principalities
Nor things to come, nor things that be
Nor darkness, nor night
Nor powers, nor depth, nor height
Can ever separate me from Your love.

God works all things together for our good
Sparing not His Son but in our place Our Savior stood
Will He not freely give all needs we ask?
Will He not intercede on our behalf?

HERE IS LOVE

*

Here is love, vast as the ocean  — Lovingkindness as the flood

When the Prince of Life, our ransom, shed for us, His precious blood!

Who His love will not remember?   Who can cease to sing His praise?

He can never be forgotten throughout heaven’s eternal days!

*

On the mount of crucifixion, fountains opened deep and wide

Through the flood gates of God’s mercy flowed a vast and gracious tide

Grace & love like mighty rivers poured incessant from above

And heaven’s peace & perfect justice, kissed a guilty world in love!

Savior, Like a Shepherd

*

Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need Thy tender care
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use Thy folds prepare
//Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are!//

We are Thine, do Thou befriend us,
Be the guardian of our way
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
Seek us when we go astray
//Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Hear, O hear us when we pray!//

Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
With Thy love our hearts now fill
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still
//Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Thou hast loved us, love us still.//

THE LAMB

*

The Lamb in the midst of His throne
Calls to His own
“Come follow Me
Unto the streams of water,
Unto the Tree of Life,
Come follow Me,
Come follow Me.”

Salvation belongs to Our God
Who reigns above
With mercy and love.
Bring Him your praise,
Ancient of Days,
Messiah!
Your voices now raise:
“Hosanna!”
Bring Him your praise.
Bring Him your praise.

Our God, He beckons to us:
“Give Me your trust,
Come and draw near,
I’ll wipe away tears
from you.
Do not fear:
I love you.
Come and draw near.
Come and draw near.

WERE YOU THERE?

*

Romans 6:6 “knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

Based on Galatians 2:20:

I have been crucified, I have been crucified with Christ, therefore
It is no longer I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me.

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
O – O – OH! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Yes, I was there when they crucified my Lord.

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
O – O – OH! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Yes, I was there when they laid Him in the tomb.

Were you there when He rose up from the dead?
Were you there when He rose up from the dead?
O – O – OH! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Yes, I was there when He rose up from the dead.

I will live and reign with Him on high!
Yes, we will live and reign with Him on high!
O – O – OH! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Yes, we will live and reign with Him on high!

//It is no longer I that liveth, but Christ that liveth in me.//

TAKE MY LIFE

*

Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, LORD, to Thee.
Take my hands and let them move
//At the impulse of thy love.//

Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Take my voice and let me sing
//Always, only, for my King!//

LORD, I give my life to Thee, Thine forever more to be!

Take my will and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart: it is Thine own
//It shall be Thy royal throne//

Be Still, My Soul

*

Be still, my soul, be now renewed
Refreshing comes down as morning dew
Be still, my soul, communion is sweet
Precious the time at my Savior’s feet.

Be still, my soul, drink in His pure love
Refreshing new wine from heaven above
Be still, my soul, in Him is your rest
In His sweet Presence, oh, how I am blessed!

Lead me, dear Shepherd, to that Holy Place
Seat of your mercy, the throne of Your grace
There, and there only, Your beauty unfolds
My soul cries, “Holy! Be still here, my soul!

Your Presence

*

Your Presence, O Lord, is sweet, oh so sweet
Let me draw near to You, let me sit at Your feet.
My heart yearns for You, my heart leaps to sing!
Take me, dear Lord, safely under Your wing.

I yearn for You!
I yearn for You!
Seal me upon Your heart.
Seal me upon Your heart.

Your banner, O King, is set over me
Let the nations know, let the whole world see:
My Beloved is mine, and I am Yours
Embrace me, Jesus, evermore.

I am my Beloved’s. His desire’s towards me.
Make haste, my sweet King, come quickly to me.
The Spirit and the Bride, they say,
“Come, Lord, come.
Come quickly, Jesus, come, oh come.”

Arise!! 

*

Arise, sleeping one and stand up out of the dead ones!
Arise, sleeping one and Christ will shine on you!

Lord, deepen our desire, Clothe us in a new attire
Purify us now by fire!
Adorn us with Your love, Clothe us in Your righteousness
Prepare us in holiness.

That we may arise! That we may arise! That we may arise!
For Your glory! For Your glory!

Earnest expectation, Of the new creation
Awaits the revelation
Of the Sons of God, Clothed in His righteousness
Prepared in holiness.

And we shall arise! Yes, we shall arise! And we shall arise!
For Your glory! For Your glory!
And we now arise! Yes, we now arise! And we now arise!
For Your glory! For Your glory!

You, O LORD, Have Been Faithful to Me

You, O LORD, have been faithful to me.

Into the promised land
For You, O LORD, have been faithful to me!
