VERSE 1 Come, Thou Fount of every Blessing. Tune my heart to sing Thy grace. Streams of mercy, never ceasing. Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet. Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise Your Name. I’m fixed upon it. Name of God’s redeeming love VERSE 2 I remember that You saved me. I was lost and on my own. And I hope by Thy good pleasure. Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger. Wandering from the fold of God. Jesus, rescued me from danger. Bought me by His precious blood. VERSE 3 O to grace how great a debtor. Daily your love calls to me! 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, O take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here’s my heart, O take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above.

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 power are great. And armed with cruel hate. On earth is not his equal. CHORUS Oh God’s Lion is a Lamb Takes the scroll held in His hand And breaks the seals revealing Every nation, tribe and tongue Come to sing before the One Who purchased us back from the grave God’s redeeming love made a way In the wake of the cross true justice shines through Behold He is making all things new VERSE 2 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 lamb shall fell him CHORUS Oh God’s Lion is a Lamb Takes the scroll held in His hand And breaks the seals revealing Every nation, tribe and tongue Come to sing before the One Who purchased us back from the grave God’s redeeming love made a way In the wake of the cross true justice shines through Behold He is making all things new VERSE 3 That word above all earthly powers. With them we will not sideth. The Spirit and the gifts are ours. Through him we now abideth Let goods and kindred go. This mortal life also. The body they may kill. God's truth endureth still. His kingdom is forever.

VERSE 1 Breathe on me, breath of God. Fill me with life anew. That I may love all as you love. And do what you would do. VERSE 2 Breathe on me, breath of God. Until my heart is pure. Until my will is one with Yours. To do and to endure. VERSE 3 Breathe on me, breath of God. 'Til I am wholly yours. Until my full humanity. Glows with your fire divine. BRIDGE I hear your prayer, I'm with you now, closer than your very breath. I'm holding you safe at home with me Did you forget, you forget, that I forgave, I forgave. You are free! Yes, you are free indeed. I long for you, long for you to know my deep love for you Climb its heights. Mine its depths, it's true. I sing over you, sing over you. My love for you, love for you My precious child, hear my love song. VERSE 4 Breathe on me, breath of God. Alive I'm now in You. I hear your song sung over me. I rest in your faithful care.

VERSE O soul are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There's light for a look at the Savior. And life more abundant and free. CHORUS Turn your eyes upon Je--sus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace. BRIDGE Look at the birds. Consider the lilies How life is sustained and free from worry Seek now this way Hope is born here every day CHORUS Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace. BRIDGE CHORUS Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace. And the worries of this world will grow strangely dim. In the light of His glory and grace.

VERSE 1: O the deep, deep love of Jesus Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free. Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me. Underneath me, all around me. Is the current of thy love. Leading onward, leading homeward. To that glorious rest above. VERSE 2 O the deep, deep love of Jesus. Spread his praise from shore to shore. How he loves us, ever loves us, changes never, never more. How he watches o'er his loved ones. Died to call them all his own. How for them he's interceding. Watching o'er them from the throne. CHORUS O the deep, deep love of Jesus. Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free. VERSE 3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus. Love of every love the best. 'Tis an ocean vast of blessing. 'Tis a haven sweet of rest. O the deep, deep love of Jesus. 'Tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me. And it lifts me up to glory. For it lifts me up to thee. CHORUS O the deep, deep love of Jesus.| Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free.

CHORUS Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. VERSE 1 I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small.” “Child of weakness, watch and pray. Find in Me thine all in all” VERSE 2 Lord, now indeed I find, Thy pow'r and Thine alone. Can change the leper's spots and melt the heart of stone. CHORUS: Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. BRIDGE: By His stripes we have been healed Through the cross God’s face is revealed We are forgiven. We’ve been set free. All creation sings of His mercy Hallelujah. Hallelujah. VERSE 3 And when before the throne, I stand in Him complete. “Jesus died my soul to save,” My lips shall still repeat. CHORUS Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. BRIDGE By His stripes we have been healed Through the cross God’s face is revealed We are forgiven. We’ve been set free All creation sings of His mercy Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. CHORUS Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain.

VERSE 1 The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell. It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair, bowed down with care. God gave His Son to win. His erring child he reconciled, and pardoned from his sin. VERSE 2 When hoary time shall pass away and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall. When stubborn hearts refuse to wake and worship stones and idols call God's love, so sure, shall still endure all measureless and strong. Redeeming grace to Adam's race the saints' and angels' song. CHORUS Oh love of God, how rich and pure How measureless and strong. It shall forever more endure. The saints' and angels' song. BRIDGE You call us by name You know us all, You love us all the same, all the same You’re here with us, been here all along You’re singing, you’ve been singing a love song a love song Your Mercy covers our shame Your Graciousness greets us without blame without blame CHORUS Oh love of God, how rich and pure How measureless and strong. It shall forever more endure. The saints' and angels' song. VERSE 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made. Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade. To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry. Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky. BRIDGE CHORUS Oh love of God, how rich and pure How measureless and strong. It shall forever more endure. The saints' and angels' song.

VERSE 1 This is my Father's world. And to my listening ears. All nature sings, and round me rings, the music of the spheres. This is my Father's world. I rest me in the thought. Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. CHORUS Even in our confusion. In the midst of our doubt You hold all things together. You seek us out. In spite of our violence. In spite of our fears You enter our suffering. You have come near. VERSE 2 This is my Father's world. The birds, their carols raise. The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise. This is my Father's world. He shines in all that's fair. In the rustling grass, I hear Him pass. He speaks to me everywhere. CHORUS Even in our confusion. In the midst of our doubt You hold all things together. You seek us out. In spite of our violence. In spite of our fears You enter our suffering. You have come near. OUTRO This is my Father's world. Why should my heart be sad? The lord is King, let the heavens ring. God reigns, let the earth be glad The lord is King, let the heavens ring. God reigns, let the earth be glad. This is my Father's world. O let me ne'er forget. That though the wrong, seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
