My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less
Verse 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly lean on Jesus' name
On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand
Verse 2 When darkness veils His lovely face I rest on His unchanging grace In ev’ry high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand
Verse 3 His oath His covenant His blood Support me in the whelming flood When all around my soul gives way He then is all my strength and stay
On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand
Verse 4 When He shall come with trumpet sound O may I then in Him be found Dressed in His righteousness alone Faultless to stand before the throne
On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand |
Christ Our Hope In Life And Death
Verse 1 What is our hope in life and death Christ alone Christ alone What is our only confidence That our souls to Him belong
Who holds our days within His hand What comes apart from His command And what will keep us to the end The love of Christ in which we stand
Chorus O sing hallelujah Our hope springs eternal O sing hallelujah Now and ever we confess Christ our hope in life and death
Verse 2 What truth can calm the troubled soul God is good God is good Where is His grace and goodness known In our great Redeemer's blood
Who holds our faith when fears arise Who stands above the stormy trial Who sends the waves that bring us nigh Unto the shore the rock of Christ
Verse 3 Unto the grave what will we sing Christ He lives Christ He lives And what reward will heaven bring Everlasting life with Him
There we will rise to meet the Lord Then sin and death will be destroyed And we will feast in endless joy When Christ is ours forevermore |
O Lord, My God, I Take Refuge (Psalm 7a)
Verse 1 O LORD my God I take refuge in You O save me from all those who have pursued Lest they should tear me like lions with prey With none to rescue they’d drag me away
Verse 2 O LORD my God if my hands were unjust Harming my foes or my friends in their trust Let my pursuer come near and surround Trampling my life in the dust of the ground
Verse 3 LORD rise in anger and be my defense Against my enemy’s rage so intense Rise bring the judgment that You have decreed Let peoples come and with You gathered be
Verse 4 Come back to rule over them from on high The LORD will judge as the nations draw nigh My cause is right LORD O vindicate me Judge me as You my integrity see
Verse 5 O let the evil of wicked men cease And all the righteous establish in peace God who is righteous examines and finds All of the depths of men’s hearts and their minds |
The Lord Is My Salvation
Verse 1 The grace of God has reached for me And pulled me from the raging sea And I am safe on this solid ground The Lord is my salvation
Verse 2 I will not fear when darkness falls His strength will help me scale these walls I'll see the dawn of the rising sun The Lord is my salvation
Chorus Who is like the Lord our God Strong to save faithful in love My debt is paid and the victory won The Lord is my salvation
Verse 3 My hope is hidden in the Lord He flow'rs each promise of His Word When winter fades I know spring will come The Lord is my salvation
Verse 4 In times of waiting times of need When I know loss when I am weak I know His grace will renew these days The Lord is my salvation
Verse 5 And when I reach the final day He will not leave me in the grave But I will rise He will call me home The Lord is my salvation
Bridge Glory be to God the Father Glory be to God the Son Glory be to God the Spirit The Lord is our salvation |
There Is A Fountain
Verse 1 There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains Lose all their guilty stains lose all their guilty stains And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains
Verse 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day And there may I though vile as he wash all my sins away Wash all my sins away wash all my sins away And there may I though vile as he wash all my sins away
Verse 3 Dear dying Lamb Thy precious blood shall never lose its pow'r Till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more Be saved to sin no more be saved to sin no more Till all the ransomed Church of God be saved to sin no more
Verse 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die And shall be till I die and shall be till I die Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die
Verse 5 When this poor lisping stamm'ring tongue lies silent in the grave Then in a nobler sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save I'll sing Thy pow'r to save I'll sing Thy pow'r to save Then in a nobler sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save |
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 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 |
