Come People of the Risen King

Verse 1
Come people of the Risen King
Who delight to bring Him praise
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in
 
Chorus
Rejoice rejoice let ev'ry tongue rejoice
One heart one voice
O Church of Christ rejoice

 

Verse 2
Come those whose joy is morning sun
And those weeping through the night
Come those who tell of battles won
And those struggling in the fight
For His perfect love will never change
And His mercies never cease
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace
 
 

Verse 3
Come young and old from ev'ry land
Men and women of the faith
Come those with full or empty hands
Find the riches of His grace
Over all the world His people sing
Shore to shore we hear them call
The truth that cries through ev'ry age
Our God is all in all

Crown Him (Majesty)

Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon His throne
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own;
Awake my soul and sing
Of Him who died for me
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.

[Chorus:]
Majesty, Lord of all
Let every throne before Him fall
The King of kings, O come adore
Our God who reigns forever - more.

[Verse 2:]
Crown Him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o'er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing
Who died and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die.

[Bridge:]
All hail, Redeemer, hail
For He has died for me
His praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.

When Trials Come

Verse 1:
When trials come no longer fear
For in the pain our God draws near
To fire a faith worth more than gold
And there His faithfulness is told
And there His faithfulness is told

Verse 2:
Within the night I know Your peace
The breath of God brings strength to me
And new each morning mercy flows
As treasures of the darkness grow
As treasures of the darkness grow

Verse 3:
I turn to Wisdom not my own
For every battle You have known
My confidence will rest in You
Your love endures Your ways are good
Your love endures Your ways are good

Verse 4:
When I am weary with the cost
I see the triumph of the cross
So in it's shadow I shall run
Till You complete the work begun
Till You complete the work begun

Verse 5:
One day all things will be made new
I'll see the hope You called me to
And in your kingdom paved with gold
I'll praise your faithfulness of old
I'll praise your faithfulness of old

Jesus Paid it All

Verse 1:
I hear the Savior say,
“Your strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me your all in all.”


Refrain:
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.


Verse 2:
Lord, now indeed I find
Your pow’r, and Yours alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.



Verse 3:
For nothing good have I
Whereby Your grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.



Verse 4:
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus dies my soul to save,"

My lips shall still repeat.

Behold Our God

Verse 1:
Who has held the oceans in His hands
Who has numbered every grain of sand
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice

Chorus:
Behold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!

Verse 2:
Who has given counsel to the Lord
Who can question any of His Words
Who can teach the One who knows all things
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds

Verse 3:
Who has felt the nails upon His hands
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man
God eternal humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior risen now to reign!

How Great Is Your Faithfulness

Verse 1:
Now unto the King who reigns over all,
And never changes or turns.
Unfailing justice, unfading grace,
Whose promises remain,
Yes, Your promises remain.

The heavens ring, the saints all sing,
Great is Your faithfulness
From age to age we will proclaim
Great is Your faithfulness,
How great is Your faithfulness.

Everything changes, but You stay the same;
Your Word and kingdom endure.
We lean on the promise of all that You are,
And trust forevermore;
We will trust forevermore.

You never fail us, O God.
Yesterday and today and tomorrow,
Until the day You return.

O Worship the King

Verse 1:
O worship the King, all glorious above,
And gratefully sing, His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.


Verse 2:
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy space,
Whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.

Verse 3:
Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Verse 4:
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Awake My Soul

Verse 1:
The image of God invisible
The firstborn of all life
Before and within,
He holds it all in
One name, one faith, one Christ

Chorus:
No one is good enough
To save himself
Awake my soul tonight
To boast nothing else

Verse 2:
I trust no other source or name
Nowhere else can I hide
This grace gives me fear,
and this grace draws me near
And all that it asks it provides

Bridge:
No seam in this garment
All my rags to hide
No less than your love For Jesus is mine

Verse 3:
When I stand on the edges of Jordan
With the saints and the angels beside
When my body is healed and the glory revealed
Then still I can boast only Christ

Bless the Lord O My Soul

Chorus:
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

Verse 1:
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Verse 2:
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

Verse 3:
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending:
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Revelation Song

Verse 1:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. Holy, holy is He.
Sing a new song to Him who sits on Heaven's mercy seat.
(Repeat)

Chorus:
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.
Who was and is and is to come.
With all creation I sing, "Praise to the King of kings,
You are my everything and I will adore You".

Verse 2:
Clothed in rainbows, of living color.
Flashes of lighting, rolls of thunder.
Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be,
To You, the only wise King.

Verse 3:
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder,
At the mention of Your name.
Jesus, Your name is power, breath and living water.
Such a marvelous mystery.

Draw Me Nearer

Verse 1:
I am thine Oh Lord, I have heard your voice
And it told Your love to me
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee

Chorus:
Draw me nearer,
To the cross where thou hast died
Draw me nearer
To your precious bleeding side

Verse 2:
There are great depths of love that I cannot knowâ
Till I cross that narrow sea
There are heights of joy that I cannot reach
Till I rest in peace with thee

Bridge:
You draw me with Your mercy
You draw with Your love
You draw me with forgiveness by Your blood

You draw me with compassion
You draw me as a bride
You draw me closer to your precious side

Verse 3:
Consecrate me now to Your service Lord
By the power of grace divine
Let me soul look up with a steadfast hope
And my will be lost in Thine

Look, Ye Saints, The Sight Is Glorious

"Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Philippians 2:9-11 ESV)

Verse 1:
Look, ye saints, the sight is glorious;
See the Man of sorrows now;
From the fight returned victorious,
Every knee to Him shall bow;
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crowns become the Victor's brow.

Verse 2:
Crown the Savior! Angels, crown Him!
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of pow'r enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.

Verse 3:
Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior's claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name:
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.

Verse 4:
Hark! those bursts of acclamation!
Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O what joy the sight affords!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
Crown Him! Crown Him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords!

There is Life

Background from ReformedPraise.org:

Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6) He is the only source of true and abiding life- both eternal life with God and a joyful and peaceful life now. This song reminds us not only of the overflowing offer of life given to all in the gospel, but of the ironic way that life was purchased – through the death of the life-giver. As the writer reminds us, forgiveness and peace with God (resulting in eternal life) is not gained by our efforts – our tears or prayers – but only by Jesus’ atoning blood. Then what must a person do to receive the merits of His blood? The song answers with several verbs: believe, trust, and receive. Simply believe that Jesus’ blood is the only payment that will suffice to cover the debt of your sin, and that Jesus’ righteous life is the only life acceptable enough to allow you to stand before a holy God. This belief must move past agreement to actual trust. You must think and live in light of this truth, trusting that your acceptability before God is only based on Jesus’ work, and you will experience what this song offers: life rich, eternal, and free!

Verse 1:
There is life for a look at the crucified One;
There is life rich, eternal, and free.
So look, sinner, look unto Him and be saved–
Unto Him who was nailed to the tree.
Oh it’s not by your tears of repentance or prayers,
But His blood that atones for your soul:
On Him, then, who shed it, believing at once
Your weight of iniquities roll.

Chorus:
There is life in Jesus–
Life for all who thirst.
There is life in His precious blood
So in Jesus alone place your trust.

Verse 2:
Have you seen all His anguish of soul on the cross?
And His cry of distress have you heard?
Then why, if the terrors of wrath He endured
Should your pardon be stopped or deferred?
We are healed by His stripes– would you add to the Word?
In the Lord is our righteousness made:
The best robe of heaven He bids you put on
And you could not be better arrayed.

Verse 3:
Sinner, doubt not your welcome since God has declared
There remains no more work to be done.
He has promised to come at the end of the world
And to finish the work He’s begun.
So receive with rejoicing, from Jesus at once
Of the life everlasting He gives
And know with assurance at judgment you’ll stand
For the Savior, your righteousness lives.
