Above All Else
Above all else let us follow Jesus
Above all else let us bless His name
For He alone is worthy, He alone is holy
He alone deserves our praise.
Above all else let us love our Savior
Above all else let us serve our Lord
For Jesus died to save us and He rose victorious
He alone deserves our praise
Above all else let us cling to Jesus
Above all else let us trust His word
He’s given us His Spirit, we are His forever
He alone deserves our praise
In an Uncertain World
In an uncertain world
You’re the rock that we cling to
Our harbor in the storm
Though the wild winds may blow
Waves crash around us
One thing we know
In this world we are certain of You
In our fast-changing lives
You’re the one sure foundation
Our only steadfast hope
Though we can’t see ahead
Where we are going
We trust what You’ve said
In our lives You’re the unchanging Lord
Chorus––
Father, in your holy hand we can stand secure
You’re our loving and faithful Lord
And our hope in You is sure
In a time filled with doubt
We hold firm to the promise
Your true and perfect word
Though the people may mock
Say we are foolish
In the cleft of the rock
We can rest in the knowledge of You
You are certain, unchanging and true
You’re Bigger Than All My Fears
You’re bigger than all my fears
Much bigger than I had thought before
The trials that test come for the best
Because they lead us to You
You’re bigger than anything
That causes the doubts to come and bind me
For a blessed release, power and peace
I find in You
Jesus, Lord of all, when I stumble when I fall
You are the one who draws me near
You’re teaching me more about You
Jesus, Holy Lord, revealing truth within Your word
You are my God, Your hand I’ll take for You’ll never leave
Nor will You forsake
You’re bigger than all my fears
Much bigger than I had thought before
The trials that test, come for the best
Because they lead us to You
You’re bigger than anything
That causes the doubts to come and bind me
For blessed release, power and peace I find in You
Safe in His Hand
(for Kelly)
My friend, you’ve been to me
A portrait of Jesus’ love
Your courage and faith, your trust in The Lord
Shine bright in your life
And I don’t understand why our prayers are not
answered
In the way we all want them to be
But I know He is good
And I know He is loving
And I know you are safe in His hand
Chorus––
Safe in the hand of God, your Savior
Safe in the God who’s always there
Safe with the One who vows to hold you
Safe in His loving care
My friend, your faithfulness to lift me before the throne
Is precious to me and trusting The Lord
I lift you there too
And I pray for His grace and I pray for your healing
And I pray for His comfort and hope
And I know He is good
And I know He is loving
And I know you are safe in His hand
Safe in His hand
By His Mercy
Chorus––
Oh, by His mercy He saves us
He holds and sustains us
In His tender love He lifts us up so we can stand
And by His power He frees us
He hears and He sees us
There is no where we can go beyond His mighty hand
To deliver us
God’s voice calls us, draws us to Him
We can trust Him
It is ours to obey and let Him make the way
God bestows His love upon us
When we falter He’s our refuge and strength
We can call on His name
He’s forever and ever the same
His mighty hand to deliver us
Mighty is The Lord
Mighty, mighty, mighty is The Lord
None can equal the power of The Lord
Mighty, mighty, mighty is The Lord
Strong in battle, mighty is The Lord
And when the enemy seeks to devour me
I trust in God’s Word and brandish the sword
I can stand on Jesus’ name and with my voice proclaim
The victry’s already won
Mighty, mighty, mighty is The Lord
None can equal the power of The Lord
Mighty, mighty, mighty is The Lord
Strong in battle, mighty is The Lord
And when I need Him most, the Captain of the hosts
Will draw back His bow and scatter the foe
My strengths is not my own but in His pow’r alone
The victry’s already won
Mighty, mighty, mighty is The Lord
None can equal the power of The Lord
Mighty, mighty, mighty is The Lord
Strong in battle, mighty is The Lord
Mighty is The Lord…
Mighty is The Lord!
The Journey
We are on a journey
We’re holding to the hand of God
We’ll seek His will in all we do
Going where He says to go
Unto every nation
Trusting Him to lead us on
In faith, love and obedience
We’ll spread the truth about His Son
Chorus 1––
How He loves us, wondrous love
Revealing His eternal plan
Sacrificed His Son on Calvary
To redeem the hearts of men
How He loves us, wondrous love
He heals the blind that they might see
Oh He opens wide the prison doors
And He sets the captives free
Clothed in holy armor
We’re standing firm against the foe
And by His might we press ahead
That those in darkness now may know
Following His calling
Protected by His outstretched arm
We’ll hold the course, we’ll fight the fight
And trust the power of The Lord
Chorus 2––
How he loves us, wondrous love
He gives us strength that we can stand
As the battle rages all around
We are held within His hand
How He loves us, wondrous love
He keeps us safely as His own
Guides us in the path of righteousness
As He leads us ever home
Following His calling
Protected by His outstretched arm
We’ll hold the course, we’ll fight the fight
And trust the power of The Lord
Chorus 3 ––
How He loves us, wondrous love
He keeps us safely as His own
Guides us in the path of righteousness
As He leads us ever home
Guides us in the path of righteousness
As he leads us ever home
Father lead us ever home
Teach Us What it Means to Fear You
Lord, there are times I can’t see Your hand
All of the things I don’t understand
You are working and in Your plan
You’ll fulfill Your word
You are the Author and Finisher
Light of the world and Redeemer
Sent down from the Father
You’re the Sovereign Lord
Chorus––
Teach me what it means to fear You
Show me what it is to obey
Melt my heart and draw me near You
You’re the Potter, I am the clay
Teach me what it means to love You
Show me what it is to be still
Help me hold no one above You
Lord, in my life have Your will
Help me to rest in Your faithfulness
Lead in the pathway of holiness
Guide with Your loving kindness
To Your hand I’ll cling
You are the Shepherd who calls Your own
You, who are rightfully on the throne
Power and glory are Your’s alone
You’re the matchless King
Lord, in my life have Your will…
Have Your will
Sing Praise to The Lord
(Psalm 9:1-2)
Sing praise to The Lord
Sing praise to God, unto God on high
Sing praise to The Lord
Sing praise to God, unto God on high
Sing praise to The Lord, sing praise
I will praise the, O Lord with all my heart
I will shew forth all thy marvelous works
I will be glad and rejoice in thee
I will sing praise to thy name
Sing praise to The Lord
Sing praise to God, unto God on high
Sing praise to The Lord

Sing praise to The Lord, sing praise
Little Baby
Little baby in a manger
Come to set His people free
Angels sing in adoration
Tell of His Nativity
Chorus––
Hallelujah, join the chorus
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Tiny babe, The Lord most holy
Sent down to become the Lamb
Shepherds in the field were watching
Over all the flocks that night
Then in awe they looked toward heaven
Saw a wondrous, glorious sight
Wise men traveled far to find Him
He whose birth the word foretold
Following the star they journeyed
King of Kings they would behold
Little baby in a manger
Come to set His people free
Angels sing in adoration
Tell of His Nativity
Sometimes I Just Want to Go Home
Chorus––
Sometimes I just want to go home
I want to see the place
See Your face
Feel Your embrace when I’m home
Sometimes I just want to go home
Where there’ll be no more tears
No more fears
All will be clear when I’m home
You’ve promised help in time of need
You’ve given hope when mine was gone
You’ve heard me cry out in brokenness
Heartache and loneliness I could not bear
I’ve seen Your love in suffering
I’ve seen Your tender hand in pain
You’ve shown me unbounding faithfulness
Mercy and graciousness
Lord, You were there
I want to hear what You would say
I want to learn these lessons well
O Lord, I cling to Your outstretched arm
Keeping me safe from harm in storm, in fire
You give me grace to carry on
You hold me up when I would fall
You are revealing Yourself to me
Changing my heart to be what You desire
Lord until You carry me home
You’ve promised You will bless
Give me rest, do what is best ‘till I’m home
Lord, until it’s time to go home
Help me to wait on You
Trust you too, glorify You ‘till I’m home
When I’ll hear, “Well done, my child, welcome home.”
I long to hear You say, “Child, welcome home.”
Wait on The Lord
(Isaiah 41:31; Psalm 27:14)
They that wait upon The Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings as eagles
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint
They that wait upon The Lord shall be renewed
Wait upon The Lord…
Wait on The Lord, be of good courage and
He shall strengthen thine heart
Wait on The Lord, wait I say, on The Lord
Wait on The Lord
Wait upon The Lord…
