The need for solitude and quietness...

The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today. What the world will do about it is their problem. Apparently the masses want it the way it is, and the majority of Christians are so completely conformed to this present age that they, too, want things the way they are. They may be annoyed a bit by the clamor and by the goldfish-bowl existence they live, but apparently they are not annoyed enough to do anything about it.  -A.W. Tozer

But for the Cross of Christ

 

 But for the Cross of Christ 

 Bryan Fowler

Vs 1

What is the truth

That ever anchors me

Amidst the waves of all my guilt

That Christ has shed

His blood and pardoned me

At the cross, at the cross

Vs 2

He bore my sin

I bear His righteousness

Oh what a glorious exchange

The wrath of God

Laid on the spotless Lamb

Oh what grace, oh what grace

Chorus

Behold the cross

There is no greater love

Heaven’s Son

Laid down His life for us

Oh my soul would be lost

With no hope to find

But for the cross of Christ

Vs 3

How do I walk

With humble confidence

I look to Christ Who is my peace

He sealed my hope

And my inheritance

At the cross, at the cross

Vs 4

When I am weak

And stumble into sin

There is an ever-flowing stream

His cleansing blood revives my soul again

Oh what grace, oh what grace

Vs 5

One day I’ll stand

Before the King of Kings

One day I’ll see him face to face

For Jesus rose

Death lost its bitter sting

Christ has won! Christ has won!

Here Is Love, Vast as the Ocean

 

Here Is Love, Vast as the Ocean 

 The Gettys, Sandra McCracken

Vs 1

Here is love vast as the ocean

Lovingkindness as the flood

When the Prince of Life, our ransom

Shed for us His precious blood

Who His love will not remember?

Who can cease to sing His praise?

He can never be forgotten

Throughout heav’n’s eternal days

Vs 2

On the mount of crucifixion

Fountains opened deep and wide

Through the floodgates of God's mercy

Flowed a vast and gracious tide

Grace and love like mighty rivers

Poured incessant from above

Heav'n's peace and perfect justice

Kissed a guilty world in love

Vs 3

On the morn of resurrection

Mercy filled the thirsty grave

Where the stone of death burst open

Springs of life flowed unrestrained

Love no heart could ever measure

Joy no sorrows will outrun

Rush upon the soul believing

In the risen, reigning Son

Vs 4

Oh this love, vast love of Jesus

Bids us come and drink and live

To this weary world of longing

What more could our Savior give

Now to Christ who fully loved us

And who freed us from our sin

Be all glory and dominion 

Everlasting praise to Him 

As I Go Your Way...

 

 As I Go Your Way (Aleph)

 StillCreek

Vs 1

Blessed are those whose way is blameless

Who walk in the law of the Lord

Blessed are those who keep His testimonies

Who seek Him with their whole heart

They do no wrong

But follow His ways

As they obey

Chorus:

I will praise You, Lord

I will praise You, Lord

With an upright heart teach me to obey

I will keep Your word

I will keep Your word

O forsake me not as I go Your way

Vs 2

Oh that my ways would be established

Help me to learn and obey

Fixing my eyes on all Your commandments

So I will not be ashamed

You've laid them down

For my heart to keep 

So carefully

Psalm 27-The Lord Is My Light

 

Psalm 27-The Lord Is My Light

 Jordan Kauflin, Laura Story

Vs 1

The Lord is my light and my salvation

Whom shall I fear, whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the stronghold of my life

Of whom shall I be afraid?

Chorus

Lord, You are my shelter

God of my salvation, I am not forsaken

Lord, my shield and protector

Waiting on Your promise

 I will see Your goodness O Lord

When troubles arise no foe can harm me

You are my peace, You are my peace

You lift me above the raging storm

You conquer my enemies Chorus

Vs 3

One thing I have asked, to see Your beauty

This I will seek, this I will seek

To dwell in Your house, to walk in Your ways

Your presence is all I need

Bridge

I wait, wait for the Lord

In faith, trusting Your Word

I wait, wait for the Lord

In faith, trusting Your Word
