Verse 1
Jesus said that if I thirst,
I should come to Him;
No one else can satisfy,
I should come to Him.

I should come to Him;
No one else can be my strength,
I should come to Him.

For the Lord is good and faithful;
He will keep us day and night.
We can always run to Jesus;
Jesus, strong and kind.

Verse 3
Jesus said that if I fear,
I should come to Him;
No one else can be my shield,
I should come to Him.

He will come to me;
And He showed me on that cross,
He will come to me.

Jesus, strong and kind. (2x)

I Will Glory in My Redeemer

Verse 1
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Whose priceless blood has ransomed me;
Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails
And hung Him on that judgment tree.

I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who crushed the power of sin and death;
My only Savior before the holy Judge:
The Lamb Who is my righteousness,
The Lamb Who is my righteousness.

Verse 2
I will glory in my Redeemer;
My life He bought, my love He owns.
I have no longings for another;
I'm satisfied in Him alone.

I will glory in my Redeemer,
His faithfulness my standing place.
Though foes are mighty and rush up on me,
My feet are firm, held by His grace,
My feet are firm, held by His grace.

Verse 3
I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who carries me on eagle's wings;
He crowns my life with loving kindness,
His triumph song I'll ever sing.

I will glory in my Redeemer,
Who waits for me at gates of gold.
And when He calls me, it will be paradise:
His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold.
(2x)

His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold.

Christ Is Mine Forevermore

Verse 1
Mine are days that God has numbered;
I was made to walk with Him.
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings.

But mine is hope in my Redeemer;
Though I fall, His love is sure.
For Christ has paid for every failing;
I am His forevermore.

Verse 2
Mine are tears in times of sorrow;
Darkness not yet understood;
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good.

But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need;
I know my pain will not be wasted;
Christ completes His work in me.

Verse 3
Mine are days here as a stranger;
Pilgrim on a narrow way.
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for His name.

But mine is armor for this battle,
Strong enough to last the war;
And He has said He will deliver
Safely to the golden shore.

Refrain
And mine are keys to Zion city,
Where beside the King I walk.
For there my heart has found its treasure:
Christ is mine forevermore!

Bridge
Come rejoice now, O my soul,
For His love is my reward!
Fear is gone and hope is sure;
Christ is mine forevermore!
(2x)

Refrain

Christ is mine forevermore! (2x)

God, My Heart Is Steadfast (Psalm 108)

Verse 1
God, my heart is steadfast;
I will sing praises.
And with all my being
To You my song I'll sing.

Waken harp and psalt'ry;
Dawn I will awaken,
With many peoples,
LORD, I thanks will bring.

Verse 2
LORD, among the peoples
I'll sing Your praises,
From among the nations
My praise to You will rise.

For Your loving kindness
Is above the heavens,
Your faithfulness extends
Into the skies.

Verse 3
God, above the heavens
O be exalted,
And above all earth
May Your glory lifted be;

So that Your beloved
Then may be delivered,
Save with Your right hand;
Answer give to me.

Is He Worthy?

Verse 1
Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark
Won’t stop the light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

Verse 2
Is all creation groaning? (It is)
Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

Pre-Chorus 1
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave,
He is David’s Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave.

Chorus 1
Is He worthy? Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy of this? He is.

Verse 3
Does the Father truly love us? (He does)
Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)
And does Jesus our Messiah hold forever those He loves? (He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

Pre-Chorus 2
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave,
He is David’s Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave.
From every people and tribe, every nation and tongue,
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God to reign with the Son.

Chorus 2
Is He worthy? Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy? Is He worthy? Is He worthy of this? He is!
Is He worthy? Is He worthy? He is! He is!

O Great God

Verse 1
O great God of highest heav'n,
Occupy my lowly heart;
Own it all and reign supreme,
Conquer ev'ry rebel power.

Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war;
You have loved and purchased me;
Make me Yours forevermore.

Verse 2
I was blinded by my sin,
Had no ears to hear Your voice,
Did not know Your love within,
Had no taste for heaven’s joys.

Then Your Spirit gave me life,
Opened up Your Word to me;
Through the gospel of Your Son,
Gave me endless hope and peace.

Verse 3
Help me now to live a life
That's dependent on Your grace;
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face.

You are worthy to be praised
With my ev'ry thought and deed;
O great God of highest heav'n,
Glorify Your Name through me!
(2x)

All I Have Is Christ

Chorus
Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life!

Verse 1
I once was lost in darkest night,
Yet thought I knew the way;
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave.

I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will,
And if You had not loved me first,
I would refuse You still.

Verse 2
But as I ran my hell-bound race,
Indifferent to the cost,
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross.

And I beheld God's love displayed:
You suffered in my place.
You bore the wrath reserved for me;
Now all I know is grace.

Chorus (2x)

Verse 3
Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone,
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me.

O Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose,
And let my song forever be:
"My only boast is You!"

Chorus (3x)
