The Blood On Which I Live

2008-11-08T19:29:00.000-08:00

Leadsheet

v.1
Come now deaf and dying souls,
Hearts made harder than stone.
May you hear that sweetest song,
There’s life in Christ alone.

(chorus)
Jesus saves the wretch and the sinner,
And the weak who have nothing to give.
And the blood he shed on Calvary
Is the blood on which I live.

v.2
Come now silent suff’ring saints,
Jesus knows your pain.
Fix your gaze upon his cross,
And you shall sing again.

v.3
Come now Jesus take us home
Hear your weary church groan.
Then your bride made beautiful,
Will dance with you alone.

In This House

2008-11-08T19:25:00.000-08:00

Leadsheet

In this house tonight
Gathered in His name,
There are sons and daughters of the King.

In this house tonight
We lay differences aside,
And in this we pray
And agree…

God our Father,
Christ our Savior,
Spirit help us
To bring Your peace

Desire of the Ages

2008-11-08T19:18:00.000-08:00

Leadsheet

v.1
I have rested upon riches,
And I have boasted in my health
I have bought into a dream
I've relied upon myself

Now I kneel amidst the ruins
Of this disneyland charade.
And I pray you'd be my treasure
That the empty pleasures of this world might fade.

(chorus)
Desire of the ages
Oh i want to want you more
Than feeble faith can realize,
Than the things that I adore.

Desire of the ages
May everything I own,
Reflect the awesome value,
Of Christ and Christ alone.

v.2
I have trusted in man's wisdom.
I have sought the world's success.
I have coveted possessions,
Craving more and caring less.

Take this selfish, wicked heart, Lord,
I pray you make it something new.
A heart that worships only God,
For nothing is impossible with you.

(after repeat of chorus)
Desire of the ages
The universe proclaims
Your majesty and power
Your worthiness and fame.

Follow Me

2008-11-08T19:14:00.000-08:00

v. 1
These words that I say
Are hard to obey
Let those with ears to hear
Heed and draw near

(chorus)
Those things you prize consider loss
Put down your pride and pick up your cross
Prepare to die and count the cost
And come and follow me

v. 2
Even birds have their nest
And the fox has his rest
There's no place i lay my head
Let the dead tend the dead

(bridge)
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me
For my burden is light and my yoke is easy

v. 3
Then one day we will feast
Where the first shall be least
And this lowly lovely bride
Shall sit by my side

v.1
Lord, in you alone let us be satisfied.
Lord, that you alone might be most glorified.

You alone are holy, we tremble at your name,
We take refuge in your name.

Lord, in you alone let us be satisfied.
Lord, that you alone might be most glorified.
You alone are worthy, the shepherd and the lamb.
You alone are holy, you're the great I am.
You're the great I am..

Soli Deo gloria
To God alone be the glory
To God alone be the glory.

Lord, in you alone let me be satisfied.
Lord, that you alone might be most glorified.
In me...

Lord You're Lovely

Leadsheet D; Leadsheet F

v.1
There are times that I behold your beauty.
There are times I don't see you at all.
Open my eyes, Lord and teach me to taste and see,
You're everything, my all in all.

Lord You're lovely
May you be the fragrance of my life
Lord you're worthy
The spotless lamb, my sacrifice
You are holy
A purifying fire for my soul
You are Jesus
And your name is wonderful.

v.2
Lord I see you seated on the throne
The train of your robe fills the templG
You bathe the earth in your glory, most holy god
You touch my lips and i am still.

(bridge)
Counselor
Prince of peace
Mighty God, are You Lord

Lovely
Worthy
Holy, are You Lord.

v.3
Christ I see you nailed upon the cross.
Blood and sweat flow down around your eyes.
You turn your head to me, smiling you say "truly
You'll be with me in paradise".

Stand

2008-11-08T10:24:00.000-08:00

Leadsheet

v. 1
Lord I kneel at Your throne
Needing grace for the hour
Holding onto Your word
Knowing Yours is the power

Pressing on for the prize
Through the sorrow and pain
May I always rejoice
And delight in Your Name

(chorus)
I'll stand on Your promises
I'll stand in the grace You give
I'll stand when the darkness falls
Upheld by Your right hand...
I'll stand

v. 2
Anything I thought gain
Let me count it as loss
May the fragrance I leave
Be of Christ and the cross

Any so-called success
Any measure of fame
May it glorify You
For the sake of Your Name

v. 3
In my talents and gifts
In the word I apply
May humility reign
In the strength you supply

And should I persevere
In the faith you have sown
Then your glory I'll sing
When I stand at your throne

(bridge)
If You should mark my sin Lord
How could I stand?
You reach down from the cross Lord
And take my hand...

Only Jesus

When the trial comes
And all hope seems lost
I will find my strength
In the mighty cross

Only there
Only Jesus
Only there can i cast my burdens down

Only Him
Only Jesus
Only there is joy in sorrow found

If my love grows cold
And my faith feels lost
I will find my heart
In the healing cross

Fellowship

2008-11-08T10:09:00.000-08:00

v.1
Living and dying
Laughing and crying
We’re part of each other
Sisters and brothers

Our lives are a vapor
We all share together
Oh Lord let our church grow in love

(chorus)
When we walk in the light
As Jesus Christ
Then love enters in
And our fellowship can begin
And His blood cleanses our sin
And His blood cleanses our sin

v.2
Working and playing
Worshiping praying
We’re part of one body
That longs to be Godly

We’re old and we’re young
And we're singing as one
Oh lord let our church grow in love

“But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his son cleanses us from all sin.”

Wake Me Up

2008-11-08T10:04:00.000-08:00

Wake me up
Wake me up from the world to your word
Wake me up
From an appetite for the absurd
Wake me up
From my impotent idols of rust
Wake me up
From these dreams that drop into dust

(chorus)
Shake me and wake me and open my eyes
I'm born again in the image of Christ
Lord let the beauty of Jesus shine through
And wake me up...
To You

There’s a Word that offers healing
A Word of joy
A Word of life
A Word in sorrow
A Word revealing
The Living Word, Jesus Christ

(Chorus)
You were there in the beginning
When You spoke the worlds became
Then becoming flesh You set aside Your fame.
By Your word You laid Your life down
Conquered death to rise and reign
And with eyes of flaming fire You’ll come again,
The Living Word

There’s a Word that values justice
A Word of peace
A Word of might
A Word of vengeance
A Word of solace

A Word of hope
A Word of light
A Word of heaven
A Word of glory
The Living Word, Jesus Christ
