By Faith....

 

 "By Faith" 

 Praise and Harmony Singers

By faith we see the hand of God

In the light of creation's grand design

In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness

Who walk by faith and not by sight

By faith our fathers roamed the earth

With the power of His promise in their hearts

Of a holy city built by God's own hand

A place where peace and justice reign

We will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward

'Til the race is finished and the work is done

We'll walk by faith and not by sight

By faith the prophets saw a day

When the longed-for Messiah would appear

With the pow'r to break the chains of sin and death

And rise triumphant from the grave

By faith the church was called to go

In the pow'r of the Spirit to the lost

To deliver captives and to preach good news

In every corner of the earth

We will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward

'Til the race is finished and the work is done

We'll walk by faith and not by sight

By faith this mountain shall be moved

And the power of the gospel shall prevail

For we know in Christ all things are possible

For all who call upon His name

We will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward

'Til the race is finished and the work is done

We'll walk by faith and not by sight

Oh, we will stand as children of the promise

We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward

'Til the race is finished and the work is done

We'll walk by faith and not by sight

We'll walk by faith and not by sight

Now therefore, O kings, be wise,,,

Why do the nations rage

    and the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves,

    and the rulers take counsel together,

    against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,

3 “Let us burst their bonds apart

    and cast away their cords from us.”

4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;

    the Lord holds them in derision.

5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,

    and terrify them in his fury, saying,

6 “As for me, I have set my King

    on Zion, my holy hill.”

7 I will tell of the decree:

The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;

    today I have begotten you.

8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,

    and the ends of the earth your possession.

9 You shall break them with a rod of iron

    and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”

10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;

    be warned, O rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear,

    and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son,

    lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,

    for his wrath is quickly kindled.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

-Psalm 2 Image

There is Hope...

 

 There is Hope 

CityAlight

There is hope in grace unceasing

You withhold Your wrath from me

Poured it out upon my Saviour

On the cross of Calvary

There is hope now for the hopeless

There is victory all can know

For the tomb lies bare and broken

And deaths pow’r is overthrown

CHORUS

Jesus Christ my hope forever

Hope unlike the world can bring

Your steadfast love beyond all measure

There is hope in Christ my king

There is hope for sons and daughters

Who have wandered on their own

Hear the songs of joy from heaven

As the lost are welcomed home

BRIDGE

Hallelujah, Hope of heaven

Precious treasure of my life

All my joy is in Your presence

I am Yours and You are mine

I will wait until I see Him

Though the twilight turns to night

For my hope is not defeated

It will greet His dawning light

Give me an open ear, O God...

Give me an open ear, O God, 

that I may hear Thy voice calling me to high endeavor.

Give me an open mind, O God, 

a mind ready to receive and to welcome such new light of knowledge as it is Thy will to reveal to me.

Give me open eyes, O God, 

eyes quick to discover Thine indwelling

 in the world which Thou hast made.

Give me open hands, O God,

 hands ready to share with all who are in want the blessings with which Thou hast enriched my life.  

...John Baillie

Goodness of God...

 

 Goodness of God/Don Moen

I love You Lord

Oh Your mercy never fails me

All my days

I've been held in Your hands

From the moment that I wake up

Until I lay my head

I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus

All my life You have been faithful

All my life You have been so so good

With every breath that I am able

I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice

You have led me through the fire

In darkest night

You are close like no other

I've known You as a father

I've known You as a friend

I have lived in the goodness of God

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

Your goodness is running after

It’s running after me

With my life laid down

I’m surrendered now

I give You everything

Your goodness is running after

It's running after me

The Christian landscape...

The Christian landscape is strewn with the wreckage of derelict, half-built towers—the ruins of those who began to build and were unable to finish. All too many people still ignore Christ’s warning and undertake to follow him without first pausing to reflect on the cost of doing so. The result is the great scandal of so-called nominal Christianity.

When my heart is filled with fear

Like a stormy sky

Jesus says “be not afraid”

He is at my side

Chorus:

There’s a rock where I can go

Keeps me safe and this I know

Deep within my troubled soul

Jesus calms the storm

When my thoughts are tossed and turned

Like a raging sea

I will listen to His voice

He will comfort me

Chorus:

There’s a rock where I can go

Keeps me safe and this I know

Deep within my troubled soul

Jesus calms the storm

When I feel the shame of sin

Like a crashing wave 

My Redeemer rescues me

By His grace I’m saved

Chorus:

There’s a rock where I can go

Keeps me safe and this I know

Deep within my troubled soul

Jesus calms the storm

He who rules the wind and waves

Soon will come again

Oh take courage little heart

Every storm will end

Chorus:

There’s a rock where I can go

Keeps me safe and this I know

Deep within my troubled soul

Jesus calms the storm

There’s a rock where I can go

Keeps me safe and this I know

Deep within my troubled soul

Jesus calms the storm

Jesus calms the storm
