Words

The Spring of Living Water

Lord, You are our God and we are Your people,
Chosen before the world began.

You are the Spring of Living Water!
In Your presence is fullness of joy!
We will not fear for You’re with us,
Our Savior and our God.

Like Sheep we’ve gone astray
And turned to our own ways,
Forsaking the only true God.

We’ve forsaken the Spring of Living Water.
And turned from His presence from true joy.
We tremble with fear for our iniquities;
Our sins, we have piled high.

Yet the Son of God was led to the slaughter.
On Him God laid all our sins.

He was pierced for our transgression;
He was crushed for our sins.
He bore our punishment and brought us peace.
By His wounds, we are healed.
You are My Savior

Refine me, Lord, with Your Fire;
Cleanse my heart from this mire.
Rekindle in me passion and zeal,
For Your Holy Name!

Renew my joy in You, Lord;
Purify my soul with Your word.
I’m a great sinner, yet there’s hope,
For You are a mighty Savior!

You are my Life, You are my God,
You are the One who gets me through!
You are my strength, You are my hope,
You are my Savior!
You are my joy, You are my King,
You are my Redeemer and Friend!
Without You, I am condemned to die;
Without You, my life is worthless.
You are my Savior!





Let my life shine for You,
My Sovereign Joy and treasure.
Make me bold to share my faith,
For Your Name’s Sake!

Complete in me Your precious work.
Transform me to be like You.
Protect me, Lord, from the enemy,
My, God, You are my refuge!

















I fall upon my knees here today.
So weary from wandering from Your ways.
O Savior of my soul, I look to You.
My Helper and my Strength,
In You I’m renewed!

Amazing Grace! It saved a wretch like me.
I once was blind, but now I can see.
I’m not my own,
For I was bought with a price,
Called to be a living sacrifice.
Amazing Grace!

So take my hand,
And lead me through the pain.
Let me suffer for the sake of Your name.
To count all as loss,
Compared to Your worth.
My Treasure and my Hope, I am Yours!

For Such A Time As This

Who loves Your name and follows in Your ways.
And Thank You Lord, that she taught us to love You too!
And trained us to follow---to follow after You.

My Savior’s Great

O God, my sins have reached the sky.
My heart is broke for how could I
Have turned away and forsaken You?
Forgetting Your love,
Sinning against You.
My Sins Are Great.

My sins are great---I’ve forsaken the living God.
To seek my joy---in things that cannot satisfy.
I’m saved by grace,
But how can I stand before You now,
When my sins are great?

Cease your striving. Look to Jesus today.
God’s wrath He bore, your sins he took away.
By grace you can stand and say…
The Savior’s great!

My Savior’s great---the Lamb of God who died.
He bore God’s wrath,
And now with Christ I’m crucified.
I no longer live---but Jesus lives in me.
It’s not by my merit, but through Jesus
That my sins are gone!

But remember they are My appointments,

And because of these clouds,

Is better than life  
In Him I rejoice all the day.
My heart and my flesh may fail me ‘tis true  
But the Lord is the strength of my life.

In Christ I will stand,
I am safe in His hands.    
I will serve Him,
And lay my life down as an offering.
I have no strength in me,
But Christ, my strength, shall always be;
My fortress from the enemy.

Saved by God’s grace,
Called to live and to follow Him.
To take up my cross,
And suffer for His Holy Name.
I am weak, oh so weak,
But the grace of God sustains my soul
And gives me strength in which to stand!
Set Apart

In my heart of hearts is a throne adorned
For my Master, my Savior---the Lord of lords.
He bought my soul with His precious blood.

Greatest Treasure of all treasure!
You’re the Master of my soul;
The greatest Joy, I’ll ever know.
O satisfy my heart---nothing else will do.

The battle is fierce against my flesh.
My soul so weary; I long to rest.
But no I will fight to kill my sin
To honor my Lord, guarding my heart for Him.

O Lord, I have failed and treasured my sin.
Fallen defeated; my hearts crushed within.
But Your grace is greater. Christ makes me stand.
I’ll press on to the goal as He holds my hand.

The Refiner

The power of self lingered over their lives;  
Desires, hopes, and dreams
In their hearts did reside.
But the Lord their prayers He heard.
His power stronger than sin.

They asked for repentance,
He gave them sorrow.
For purity---He gave them anguish.
They asked to be humble---He broke their hearts.
Wishing to be dead to the world,
He slew their living hopes!

As a refiner of silver and gold;
God placed them in the fire
To cleanse their souls.
The cost of the cross broke their hearts,
But to His sacrificing servants,
Joy He imparts.
Held in the fire by hands of grace;
Their hearts cried out as He shaped their faith.
They were held by grace.

The power of the cross
Mortified self’s sinful whims.  
Joy in Christ---killed their craving for sin.
They fought with all of their might,
Against sinful flesh;   
Finding life in Christ while putting sin to death!

He gave them sorrow---they hated their sin.
Giving them anguish---Their souls were purified.
Breaking their hearts---He striped them of pride.
Slaying their living hopes---they found true life!

As a refiner of silver and gold,
God took them from the fire,
He had cleansed their souls!
The cost of the cross broke their hearts,
But to His sacrificing servants joy He imparts.
Held in the fire by hands of grace,
Now their eyes see the Refiners face.
They are held by grace.

An audience of One.

Pressing---on to Christ, f
Forsaking all to follow.
Rejoicing in the risen Lamb
Who gave His life to save me!

Here I stand before You Lord,
Refine me---burn away the chaff.
Renew in me a passion for Your glory;
For Your name!

Let Us Rejoice

I am rejoicing in grace. Sustained by God’s love,
Overwhelmed by such great compassion;
A gift from above!
For Immanuel has come---O God with us!
Our sins forever covered by His blood!

Let us rejoice, and let us bow down!
Let us pour out all that we are
For His glory alone!
Let us be spent, and broken for Christ!
For we now live because He gave us His life!

He died that dark day, upon the cross.
He bore the Father’s wrath, intended for us.
But the third day He arose,
He arose from the grave!
The Father’s wrath now satisfied;
The sinner’s punishment paid!

Rejoice in the Lord! Bow down to Christ!
He’s the greatest treasure of all;
Give Him your life!
Run hard for the goal. Be spent for His Name.
Make much of Christ---live and die for this aim.
Remember The Lamb

Draw near to the cross of Christ.
Remember His nail pierced hands.
He was pierced for our transgressions;
Crushed for our iniquities.

Remember the Lamb---the Lamb of God!
Who suffered in our stead,
And bore the wrath of God.
Remember His wounds that healed our souls!
He was forsaken by His Father,
Now such pain we’ll never know.
Remember the Lamb!

Know and rely upon God’s love.
Rejoice in the risen Son.
He conquered the power of death,
And crushed the chains of our sin.

Remember the Lamb---the Lamb of God!
Who died that we might live reconciled to God.
Remember His wounds that healed our souls!

Such joy we’ll always know!
Remember the Lamb!
