I will build my house
Whether storm or drought
On the rock that does not move
I will set my hope
In your love, O Lord
And your faithfulness will prove
You are steadfast, steadfast
By the word you spoke
All the starry host
Are called out by name each night
In your watchful care
I will rest secure
As you lead us with your light
You are steadfast, steadfast
I will not trust in the strength of kings
On your promise I will stand
I will shout for joy, I will raise my voice
Hallelujah to the Lamb!
You are steadfast, steadfast
In the moment of emptiness
All was fulfilled
In the hour of darkness
Your light was revealed
In the presence of death
Your life was affirmed
In the absence of holiness,
You are still God.
You are steadfast, steadfast
You are steadfast, steadfast.

God's Highway
05:25
|
|||
|
My feet are strong, my eyes are clear
I cannot see the way from here
But on we go, He knows the way
And in His arms, He keeps me safe.
Fear not, keep on, watch and pray
Walk in the light of God’s highway
The shadows flee, The valley is deep
But evil cannot conquer me
Your rod and staff, They protect me
You give me rest, You give me peace
Chorus
I see the shore, from troubled seas
This tiny ship that carries me
It is not yet, But it will be
So heaven come, It’s you we need
Chorus
I’m holding onto you, Lord
You’re holding onto me…
I’m holding onto you, Love
You’re holding onto me…
Chorus

Call Him good, my soul
I am here to declare my affection for You
Call Him good, my soul
You who are wrapped in glory
Dressed in greatness
For covering, You choose light
Your clothes, sunset and moonrise
For a tent, You stretch out the heavens
For a roof, You pitch the sky
Call Him good, my soul
You made the earth
And You made its frame stable forever
You made the earth
And you wrapped it in a gown of waters

Holy Father, Son and Spirit
Holy Communion, Three-in-one.
Come with your peace,
With your invitation
Bind us together in Holy love.

Love Will Bring You Home
04:35
|

|
September sunlight through the clouds
Arms outstretched, the North, the South
The pavement pacing with your shoes
Racing the shadows of the trees
Dancing cover from the heat
Someone is looking out for you.
You’ve come so far, how far you’ve come
Go the distance
Into the arms where you belong
Love will bring you home,
Love will bring you home
We are hard-pressed on every side
We persevere through valleys wide
He will not cause your foot to slip
He sets the wind against your back
The finish near, it is not yet
Thanksgiving ever on your lips
Chorus
The bridegroom sun,
Runs across the sky,
With legs so strong,
He runs to meet his bride,
With every sunrise
You are my portion and my cup
Poured out for me, You fill me up
With oil You have anointed me
And as I run, I want to rest
To feel Your peace within my chest
Like Mary sitting at Your feet.
You’ve come so far, how far you’ve come,
Go the distance
Into your Father’s arms you run
Love will bring you home,
Love will be your home
Love will bring you home…

The Lord’s Prayer
03:33
|
|||
|
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive our sins,
As we forgive those who have
Sinned against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For Thine is the kingdom,
And the power and the glory
Forever. Amen, Amen

Though now we have trials,
We wait for salvation
Though tested by fire,
We suffer with joy
By His great mercy,
Our hope has been born again
Faithful as the morning,
We are raised up with Christ
And I cannot see Him
But oh how I love Him
I cannot see Him, but I believe
I know He walks with me.
I believe, that He walks with me.
Raised up with the priesthood,
To witness his wondrous works
Called out from the darkness
To shimmering light
Chorus

Come Light Our Hearts
03:24
|
|||
|
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
For You, O Lord our souls in stillness wait
Truly our hope is in You
Truly our hope is in You
O Lord of life, our only hope
Your radiance shines
On all who look to You in the dark
Emmanuel come, come light our hearts
Chorus
Oh Joy above, all other loves
In You we find, more than enough
We come as we are, O heal and restore,
Come light our hearts

Like a child, like an infant
I will still and hush my soul
I am resting in Your provision
You’ve already made me whole
Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still…
I lift my heart up, with great expectation
Here in Your arms I’m satisfied
Israel rise up, and know your salvation
He is our hope, our strength, our light
Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still…

Doxology (Jude 23-24)
04:09
|
|||
|
To Him who is able,
To keep you from falling
To Him, to Him, to Him
To Him, to Him, to Him.
We are standing in His presence
With our garments clean and white
All glory, honor, power, majesty
To Jesus Christ.

Song for Rachel
05:18
|
|||
|
We leave behind
All the pain of alienation,
We bring the lies we believed
Out into the light,
The love we were made to feel,
Oh Rachel dry your tears,
Your hope it will rise
Until the trumpet sounds,
Until our home comes down,
Children of Zion raise up the sound,
Until our home comes down
I turn away from the springs
That cannot hold water
I will be sustained
By the true river of life
You make my eyes to see
You are upholding me
All through the night
Chorus
Set up a sign or a post
To give us direction,
Lead us by good, clear paths,
Show us the way
Our tired and restless ways
Help and defend us, please
Stay by my side
Chorus
Your deliverance is coming
For us while we wait,
In the wilderness You walk before us,
Give us grace
