Find Us Faithful

We're pilgrims on the journey

of the narrow road,
and those who've gone before us
line the way.
cheering on the faithful,
encouraging the weary,
their lives a stirring testament
to god's sustaining grace.
o may all who come behind us
find us faithful,
may the fire of our devotion
light their way.
may the footprints that we leave,
lead them to believe,
and the lives we live
inspire them to obey.
o may all who come behind us
find us faithful.
Surrounded by so great
a cloud of witnesses,
let us run the race
not only for the prize,
but as those who've gone before us.
let us leave to those behind us,
the heritage of faithfulness
passed on thru godly lives.
After all our hopes and dreams
have come and gone,
and our children sift thru all
we've left behind,
may the clues that they discover,
and the mem'ries they uncover,
become the light that leads them,
to the road we each must find.
What About His
Grace
When I think of where I've been
And where He brought me from
And how I found in giving
The strength to overcome
I wouldn't want to live a single minute
Without Jesus in it
But when I look around
I have no place to run
What about His grace
What about how He came
What about the blood He shed on
Calvary
That washes sin away
Think of all He's done
And how He helps us overcome
How could we ever run away
What about His grace
If you've been in His presence
And you found His mercy flow
Strength from His throne and glory
To your wounded soul
How could you ever turn your back in
Jesus
When He died to free us
Ask yourself a simple thing
Before you go
What about His grace
What about how He came
What about the blood He shed on
Calvary
That washes sin away
Think of all He's done
And how He helps us overcome
How could we ever run away
What about His grace
What about His grace
What about how He came
What about the blood He shed on
Calvary
That washes sin away
Think of all He's done
And how He helps us overcome
How could we ever run away
What about His grace
His grace
In the Name of the Lord
Crowds have lined the narrow street
To see this man from Galilee
Just a carpenter some say, leading fools astray
Yet many kneel to give Him praise
And in His eyes, they glimpse the power
That sees the heart of all men
And He knows His Father's mind
He speaks His Father's words
For He comes in the name of the Lord
There is strength in the name of the Lord
There is power in the name of the Lord
There is hope in the name of the Lord
Blessed is He, who comes in the name of the Lord
When my plans have fallen through
And when my strength is nearly gone
When there's nothing left to do but just depend on You
And the power of Your name
And as we call upon Your name
Your strength through weakness to show
We can know the masters plan extend the masters hand
When we come in the name of the Lord
There is strength in the name of the Lord
There is power in the name of the Lord
There is hope in the name of the Lord
Blessed is He, who comes in the name of the Lord
His name will be worshiped forever
Creator, Redeemer and King
There is strength in the name of the Lord
There is power in the name of the Lord
And there is hope in the name of the Lord
Blessed is He, who comes, blessed is He, who comes
Blessed is He, who comes in the name of the Lord
In the name of the Lord, in the name of the Lord
My Soul Desire
Lord, when you placed your hands upon me
I knew that I would never be the same
For in that moment I became your servant
And since that day, I only have one aim
My soul desire is to be used
And empty vessel longing to be filled by You
My soul desire is to serve You Lord
To do your perfect will
To work each day and build
You Kingdom, this is my soul desire.
Lord, I do not seek to claim the glory
I only wish to be under your control
For I know that you alone are worthy
And it's You who placed this longing in my soul

Every Time I Speak His Name

My heart can be so troubled, trembling with fear
Eyes closed tight, expecting to overflow with tears
If I could manage to whisper the Name above all Names,
Suddenly I am at peace and things aren't quite the same, it happens
Every time I speak His Name,
My Spirit calms within me, I feel Him ease the pain
It's a mystery, I agree, I never could explain,
But it happens every time I speak His Name
Why is it we seek comfort from everyone but Him?
When hurts and failures leave us lonely and condemned,
Oh, for the sound of Jesus Name to soothe and gently mend,
Let the broken hear the Name that makes things new again!
It happens
It happens every time I speak His Name!
All Along
Time just drifts away
And I look back on the years
With memories of happiness and bitter tears
Through it all there is a common thread
Which cannot be ignored
You were there making me to be your servant, Lord
All along your hand has been guiding me
Shaping my life to be a beautiful song
All along you've led me through
Things that you knew would make me strong
Your love has been there all along
Every joy and pain
Had a reason of its own
Now I realize that I was not alone
The changing seasons of my life
Were not left up to chance
Lord, I know you were working to fulfill your plan
All along your hand has been guiding me
Shaping my life to be a beautiful song
All along you've led me through
Things that you knew would make me strong
Your love has been there all along
Tomorrow when I turn around
And look back at today
I will understand your purpose
And my thankful heart will say
All along your hand has been guiding me
Shaping my life to be a beautiful song
All along you've led me through
Things that you knew would make me strong
Your love has been there all along
Your love has been there all along.
HE GAVE HIMSELF
Before the fall of man
God had a perfect plan,
To fellowship with us was His desire.
But Adam disobeyed,
To sin became a slave,
Now a perfect sacrifice would be required.
An offering must be made,
The sin debt must be payed,
So God and man could reconciled be.
So Jesus said, “I’ll go,”
Because He loved me so,
He shed His blood and paid sin’s penalty.
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay.
When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way.
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day,
In love He took my place, and gave Himself.
No greater love is known,
No greater love is shown,
Than when one lays His life down for a friend,
But Jesus died for me
When I was His enemy.
A love like this I cannot comprehend.
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay.
When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way.
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day,
In love He took my place, and gave Himself.
My nails were in His hands,
My crown of thorns He wore,
My stripes were on His back,
My heavy cross He bore.
And when God turned His back
He turned it on my sin,
Jesus won a victory that I could never win!
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay.
When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way.
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day,
In love He took my place, and gave Himself.
