I am the One, the earth is my handmade work The skies I laid them wide, beauty unfurled Horizon to horizon Creation to creation, sings you home Chorus Welcome home, gather round all ye refugees, come in. Oh refugee, I did not cast you out In death and broken ground, Salvation springs My body and my blood, the healing that you need Come and receive (Chorus) Watch and wait and see, what is yet to be Watch and wait and see, for the morning Go out in joy and join the great procession The mountains and the heav’ns all will rejoice horizon to horizon, creation to creation horizon to horizon, creation to creation With one voice (Chorus) © 2015 Petit Bateaux Music (ASCAP) / Flo Paris Music / Kellie Haddock

Chorus We will feast in the house of Zion We will sing with our hearts restored He has done great things, we will say together We will feast and weep no more We will not be burned by the fire He is the LORD our God We are not consumed, by the flood Upheld, protected, gathered up (Chorus) In the dark of night, before the dawn My soul, be not afraid For the promised morning, oh how long? Oh God of Jacob, be my strength (Chorus) Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed You are the Faithful one And from the garden to the grave Bind us together, bring shalom.

Almighty God 04:21
Almighty God to you all hearts are open Search and know our thoughts and anxious fears Wash us in the fountain of your mercy Come with your light, we cannot hide from you Almighty God to you all hearts are open With gratitude we raise our song to you Come and fill the praises of your people In grace and truth, you make us new again Chorus Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Almighty God to you all hearts are open We long for more than what this world provides No shallow spring will ever satisfy us Your river deep floods over everything (Chorus) To you all hearts are open, Almighty God… (Chorus) © 2015 Drink Your Tea (ASCAP) / Integrity’s Praise!

Why are you so full of heaviness? Why are you disquieted within? O my soul, O my soul As the deer longs for the water brooks So my soul it longs, it thirsts for you O my God, O my God Chorus Put your trust in God, I will yet give thanks to him Put your trust in God, I will yet give thanks to him Put your trust in God, I will yet give thanks to him My help, my God Deep calls unto deep like ocean waves, All your floods and rapids on me break Oh my soul, O my soul I will say unto my God, my strength, “How is it you have forgotten me? O how long? O how long?” (Chorus) Yahweh grants his kindness in the day Through the night his song, it is with me. Oh my God, O my God… (Chorus) © 2015 Drink Your Tea (ASCAP)
5.
Whatever my God ordains is right His holy will abides I will be still whatever he does And follow where he guides Chorus Sweet comfort, sweet comfort Yet shall fill my heart Sweet comfort, sweet comfort Sorrow shall depart Whatever my God ordains is right He makes my feet to stand Though sorrow, need, or death be mine He holds me in his hand (Chorus) This bitter cup, I take it My fainting heart restored So here I stand, unshaken I trust upon the Lord (Chorus) He is my God though dark my road He holds me, I shall not fall Whatever my God ordains as right To him I leave it all.

The moon it marks the seasons The sun knows when to go down The ocean holds its creatures The river knows its bounds The birds, the trees, the cattle And all things great and small We find our place in creation Your hand sustains it all Chorus All your works are good All your works are good From everlasting, to everlasting All your works are good He makes the clouds his chariot He wraps himself in light He stretches out the heavens, like a tent across the sky He knows our every burden When darkness veils our eyes He comes with spring returning, Bringing death to life (Chorus) As we labor until evening There’s a message on the wind Be still and know your maker Be satisfied in Him (Chorus) © 2015 Drink Your Tea (ASCAP) / Sill House Road Music (SESAC) / The Gullahorns Music (ASCAP)
7.
Teach me, oh God to follow your decrees Give me understanding, your word, I wanna keep Direct me in the path, of your commands For there I find delight, my will is in your hands Chorus Turn my heart away from worthless things Preserve my life, according to your ways Take away disgrace You hold me in my place--flourishing Fulfill your promise to the ones you love Within your ways we walk, for your laws are good Temptation loses pow’r, my soul’s revived In righteousness, oh God, preserve my life. (Chorus) © 2015 Drink Your Tea (ASCAP)
8.
Oh my God hear my cry From the depths I call out to you You give your mercy and light In the dark, in the wilderness Chorus My soul finds rest in God alone My salvation comes from him My soul finds rest, God is my home I will not be shaken, I will not be shaken. You are my shield and my strength Train my feet for this battle Our God is mighty to save I will wait, I will wait for him (Chorus) O my strength, I sing praise to you O my strength, I sing praise to you In joy or pain, I sing praise to you Night or day, I sing praise to you (Chorus) © 2015 Drink Your Tea (ASCAP)
9.
Hallelujah, give praise, you servants Praise the name of the LORD Let the name of the LORD be blessed from now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun, to it’s going down Let the name of the LORD be praised, from the rising of the sun. The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens, Who is like the LORD our God? Who sits enthroned on high? Who is like the LORD our God? Who stoops to behold, The heavens and the earth? From the rising of the sun, to it’s going down Let the name of the LORD be praised, from the rising of the sun. © 2015 Drink Your Tea (ASCAP)
10.
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause Against the deceitful man, O deliver us For you are the God in whom I take refuge Why have you rejected me? I walk around confused. Chorus Send out your light and truth Let them lead me Bring me to your holy hill To your dwelling Then I will go to the alter of God To God, my exceeding joy Then I will praise him with my guitar Oh my joy, my joy Why are you cast down low, o my soul? Why are you cast down low, and in turmoil? Hope in God, for I shall again praise him Hope in God, for he is my salvation. (Chorus) © 2015 Drink Your Tea (ASCAP)
