Oh God who is dwelling around us,
holy and beautiful is your name.
Your kingdom will come. Your works will be done,
as we walk in Your presence.
Give us this day wisdom and grace.
Teach us forgiveness just as you forgave.
All power and glory is Yours, and You will remain,
forever and ever, Yahweh.
Give us this day wisdom and grace.
Teach us forgiveness just as you forgave.
All power and glory is Yours, and You will remain,

All power and glory is Yours, and You will remain,
forever and ever, Yahweh.
Oh God who is dwelling around us,

Hallowed Be Thy Name
05:13
|

Oh, look what I have found!
It's a love that will redeem us all.
Oh, listen to what I’ve heard,
It's the truths of the ever living One.
Hear now these words,
that fall from every movement of His lips.
And feel now these chains,
As they fall from round your ankles and your wrists.
There’s freedom here.
Hallowed be Thy Name
Hallowed be Thy Name
Hallowed be Thy Name
Let us be freed from what keeps us from Your will.
Let us be healed from what causes us to fail.
Let us embrace a life of servant hood and still
be rich and filled.
Let us take hold of humility and mercy.
Let us be wise never but ceasing to be thirsty.
Let us be led by the teachings of Your word and
first to change.
Hallowed be Thy Name
Hallowed be Thy Name
Hallowed be Thy Name

What Am I?
04:35
|
|||
|
Jehovah reigns in beauty
and love that passes through me
and gives me strength,
but what am I?
A heart that yearns to please You
but hides myself from Your view
then asks Your grace,
Lord what am I?
Your grace enwraps us all
and covers our sins and restores to whole.
Your suffering gave us hope
from the depths that we delved, and now raised from the fall.
Lord make me now an instrument
of Your love and mercy
to bring those back that I’ve led astray.
With words that comfort the broken,
and deeds that nurture their souls,
and love that flows from the giver of Life.
Your grace enwraps us all
and covers our sins and restores to whole.
Your suffering gave us hope
from the depths that we delved, and now raised from the fall.
Your company brings us peace.
Your fellowship baptizes me in release,
and freedom from the old.
Lord who am I now? I'm simply your own!

All You’ve created is good.
The works of Your hands,
the love that will stand,
forever more.
But I’ve used Your world selfishly.
The world that You love.
The people You’ve bought
with Your precious blood.
And how many times have You burned brush for me?
And how many times have You walked on the seas
just to remind me?
I’ll sing of Your love in the morning,
and when the sun burns I will think of Your glory.
And when the leaves fall and bear naked trees,
I will remember the garden and weep.
Pastures of green will bring peace to my soul
knowing You are the great shepherd of old.
And in the spring Your creations are new,
with the birth of Your creatures, the flowers that bloom.
You know the sparrow that falls from the sky,
so why would You care for a heart such as mine?
Living abiding and moving in thee.
You’re hope for the broken, and strength for the weak.
I’ve read how You came down as man,
and lived like the poor,
showed love to the whore,
was beaten and torn.
Oh but I hear how You're coming to reign,
to pour out Your mercy,
and renew all Your lands,
and let love rule again!
And I’ve felt Your kingdom. Allow it to be
holistic and perfect, Lord, saving and free.
How good it will be!!!
I’ll sing of Your love in the morning,
and when the sun burns I will think of Your glory.
And when the leaves fall and bear naked trees,
I will remember the garden and weep.
Pastures of green will bring peace to my soul
knowing You are the great shepherd of old.
And in the spring Your creations are new,
with the birth of Your creatures, the flowers that bloom.
You know the sparrow that falls from the sky,
so why would You care for a heart such as mine?
Living abiding and moving in thee.
You’re hope for the broken, and strength for the weak.
Oh You're strength for the weak.
Oh You're strength for the weak.

Redemption Song
05:24
|
|||
|
Out of iniquity my steps will lead, and I come.
Demoralized, pushed aside, shunned by the world, yeah I come.
Driven by arrogance, wrought by malevolence, ransomed not!
Then out of Your sovereignty You called me out,
and sent out Your servants to comfort my heart
And You sing to me,
my redemption song, my redemption song.
And you sing to me,
My redemption song, my redemption song.
And I will hear Your voice.
And I will hear Your voice.
Out of my riches, I have no contentment, I come.
And ouut of my poverty, I know no pleasure, I come.
Out of humanity, I find no pride, and I see Your hand.
Father take notice I’ve found no such substance,
please lead me out!
Sing out to me,
sing out loud.
Sing through Your servants,
and sing to my heart.
Sing out to me,
sing out my song.
A song of deliverance,
and a song about hope.

Then They Will Know
04:56
|
|||
|
Oh Lord, restore the joy of my salvation to me.
And pour once again the love that caused the blind to see, out on me.
Let hallelujahs fill my lips, when I sing.
Let righteous renewal flow from the words that I speak.
And I will dance because You gave me life.
And I will love with all I have inside.
And I will share because You've given everything for me.
And then they will know
we are forgiven.
And then they will know
we are loved, God.
And then they will know,
cause they have seen, and they have heard,
with our hands and with our feet, we shown love.
And God, teach me to love in ways that set the captives free.
And strength to forgive the way that You’ve forgiven me.
Let signs and wonders fill my life, for all to see.
Let glory from Your temple flow into the streets.
And I will dance because You gave me life.
And I will love with all I have inside.
And I will share because You've given everything for me.
And then they will know
we are forgiven.
And then they will know
we are loved, God.
And then they will know,
cause they have seen, and they have heard,
with our hands and with our feet, we shown love.
And I will dance because You gave me life.
And I will love with all I have inside.
And I will share because You've given everything for me.
And then they will know
we are forgiven.
And then they will know
we are loved, God.
And then they will know,
cause they have seen, and they have heard,
with our hands and with our feet, we shown love.

Until God's Realm Comes
04:23
|
|||
|
We gather to sing of Your kindness that’s showered upon us.
To whisper your promises, and shout out the truths of Your love.
We lift up Your name as we care for Your children around us.
Encouraged in unity, gathering strength from Your words.
Thank you for kinship, and thank for love.
Excited by life, we will sing with the gifts that You give us.
Impassioned by mystery, mystical Lord upon high!
Heartbroken seeing what sin has destroyed all around us.
Hopeful in knowing what will be fulfilled in Your Word.
Until your Kingdom comes...
Maybe in this there has been but a glimpse of the kingdom.
And maybe our hearts will be stirred for the mission before us.
Maybe in this there has been but a glimpse of you Jesus.
And mercy will flow through these streets as we exercise worship.
Until your Kingdom comes...
Until all are fed.
Until all know home.
Until all are free.
Until justice done.
Until peace the way.
Until grace the law.
Until love the rule.
Until God’s realm comes!

Hold Me Down
04:08
|
|||
|
Oh Lord, transform my heart.
May it be broken by the things that break Your own.
Oh God, Let freedom hold,
hold me closer than I’ve ever been before.
Messiah, let comfort flow from the hands of the ones
You’ve called your own.
Holy God pure light,
we are creatures who need your words to guide.
Holy Adonai,
send your spirit Lord to chasten, and draw us nigh.
Bring freedom here.
Love draws us near.
Oh Lord, confine my heart.
Chasen me often, because my eyes are
drawn away by simple things.
Teach me to learn, render me open
to be humbled by correction that You give.
Hold me down tonight,
cause I can’t seem to choose what is right.
Hold me close to you,
cause my terribly afraid of what I’ll do.
Redemption’s near.
Repentance clear.
Holy God pure light,
we are creatures who need your words to guide.
Holy Adonai,
send your spirit Lord to chasten, and draw us nigh.
Bring freedom here.
Love draws us near.

Hallelujah
05:40
|

|
Your heart oh God is flowing deep
with love so pure that covers me.
You work despite our selfishness,
bring love where hate is born.
You satisfy the weary and
defend the cause of righteous ones
who bring Your loving ways into the world.
And I have seen Your light shine in the dark.
And I have seen Your hands work in my heart.
And I will run and not be weary,
walk and not grow faint.
And You will my shelter,
protection from the rain.
And when the waters rise,
I’ll stand and sing Your name, oh God!
Hallelujah,
I will sing Your name.
Hallelujah,
I will sing Your name.
Hallelujah,
I will sing Your name, oh God.
Take this wretched soul of mine.
Despoil, renew, and make divine.
Oh save me from myself, and keep me whole.
Let evil thoughts depart from me,
and visions of your kingdom be
what keep me strong and anchored in the storms.
Lord, You are changing all things to Your will,
so teach me Lord to trust You and be still.
And I will run and not be weary,
walk and not grow faint.
And You will my shelter,
protection from the rain.
And when the waters rise,
I’ll stand and sing Your name, oh God!
Hallelujah,
I will sing Your name.
Hallelujah,
I will sing Your name.
Hallelujah,
I will sing Your name, oh God.
Run and not be weary,
I'll walk and not grow faint.
And You will my shelter,
protection when it rains.
And when the waters rise,
I’ll stand and I'll sing Your name, oh God!
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
