10,000 Reasons
By Matt Redman
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
A Mighty Fortress is our God
Verse 1
A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing
Our helper He amid the flood, Of mortal ills prevailing
For still our ancient foe, Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and pow'r are great, And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal
Verse 2
Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God's own chosing
Dost ask who that may be?, Christ Jesus it is He
Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same
And He must win the battle
Verse 3
And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear for God hath willed, His truth to triumph through us
The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure, For lo his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him
Verse 4
That word above all earthly pow’rs, No thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours, Through Him who with us sideth
Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also
The body they may kill, God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever
All I Have is Christ
by Jordan Kauflin
Verse 1
I once was lost in darkest night yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own a rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still
Verse 2
But as I ran my hell bound race indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross
And I beheld God's love displayed You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me now all I know is grace
Chorus
Hallelujah all I have is Christ
Hallelujah Jesus is my life
Verse 3
Now Lord I would be Yours alone and live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands could never come from me
O Father use my ransomed life in any way You choose
And let my song forever be my only boast is You
Chorus (X3)
Hallelujah all I have is Christ
Hallelujah Jesus is my life
All Glory Be To Christ
by Dustin Kensrue

All glory be to Christ our king
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing
All glory be to Christ

The thirsty without price
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet

When on the day the great I Am

Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne
Come Thou Fount
Verse 1
Come, Thou fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy praise.

Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Verse 2
Here I raise my Ebeneezer*
Hither by Thy help I come.
And I hope by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Wandering from the fold of God.
He to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
Verse 3
Oh to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I’m constrained to be.
Let Thy goodness like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love.
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above.

Eternal Weight of Glory
By Wendell Kimbrough
Verse 1
Now the days and hours and mo-ments
Of our suff’ring seem so long;
And the toilsome wait and won-d’ring
Threaten silence to our song.
Now our pain is real and pressing
Where our faith is thin and weak,
But our hope is set on Je-sus;
And we cling to him, our strength.
Verse 2
Oh et-ernal weight of glo-ry!
Oh in-heri-tance di-vine!
We will see our Lord re-deem-ing
Every past and future time.
All our pains will be trans-figured,
Like the scars of Christ our Lord.
We will see the weight of glo-ry,
And our broken years re-stored.
Chorus
For be-hold! I tell a myst’ry:
At the trumpet sound we’ll wake
“Death is swallowed up in vict’ry!”
When we meet our King of Grace
Every year we thought was wasted
Every night we cried “How long?”
All will be a passing mo - ment
In our Savior’s vict’ry song
Verse 3
We will see our wounded Sav-ior.
We’ll be-hold him face to face;
And we’ll hear our anguished sto-ries
Sung as vict’ry songs of grace.
(To Chorus)
ENDING
Every year we thought was wasted
Every night we cried “How long?”
All will be a passing mo - ment
In our Savior’s vict’ry song

How Deep the Father's Love for Us
By Stuart Townsend
Verse 1
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His on - ly Son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of sear -ing loss.
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Cho - sen One
Bring many sons to glory.
Verse 2
Behold the Man upon the cross,
My sin upon His shoulders.
Ashamed, I hear my mock - ing voice
call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life.
I know that it is finished.
Verse 3
I will not boast in anything:
No gifts, no pow'r, no wisdom.
But I will boast in Jesus Christ:
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His re-ward?
I cannot give an answer.
But this I know with all my heart:
His wounds have paid my ransom.

In Christ Alone
By Keith Getty and Stuart Townsend
Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease!
My Comforter my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
Verse 2
In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!

Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid:
Here in the death of Christ I live
Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
Verse 4
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
By Edward Mote
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.
Chorus
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand:
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
in every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.
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 hope and stay.
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.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
By Joseph Medlicott Scriven
1
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3
Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge--
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
