How I love to be in Your presence, Jesus
Where all my fears are gone and tears are wiped away
For You are my joy, my comfort, and my song, oh
Lord And when I’m with You I’m completely satisfied

With hands that tremble, I reach for You
My lips dried out, thirsty for You
And though my feet may stumble, I dance with the joy of the Lord
How I love to be with You

Your Word is a light for me when I can’t find the way
Your Spirit’s like cool water when my soul is dry
And when I’m face to face with You, Lord I see how much I need
You How could I ever, ever live without You

With hands that tremble, I reach for You
My lips dried out, thirsty for You
And though my feet may stumble, I dance with the joy of the Lord
How I love to be with You

Like a child needs to be held by a father
Oh God, I need You to hold me close
And like a deer that is thirsty for the water
Lord, I’m so thirsty for You
Lord, I’m so thirsty for You

With hands that tremble, I reach for You
My lips dried out, thirsty for You
And though my feet may stumble, I dance with the joy of the Lord
How I love to be with You

Who are we that You would see us in our misery
And say, “That one is mine”?
Who are we that You would take what’s dead and without hope and then You would give us life
We are amazed
We are amazed

You are good, You are kind, You are faithful all the time
And we find, You have led us this far
By Your mercy and Your grace You have brought us to this place
We are here today because of who You are

Who we are doesn’t come from anything we’ve done
It’s all wrapped up in You
Where we’re going is a home beyond compare but until we get there
You will see us through
We are amazed
We are amazed

You are good, You are kind, You are faithful all the time
And we find, You have led us this far
By Your mercy and Your grace You have brought us to this place
We are here today because of Who You are

No, it is nothing that we’ve done
It’s all because of You
We are amazed at who You are
We are amazed
Yes, we stand amazed

You are good, You are kind, You are faithful all the time
And we find, You have led us this far
By Your mercy and Your grace You have brought us to this place
We are here today because of Who You are

You saw us in our sin
And sent Your Son to die
He came and lived within our skin
And shone the light

We have been rescued

Our air He breathed, He knew our need
He paid the price
The cross He bore, the blood He poured
He gave His life

We have been rescued
We have been rescued

From the darkness, from what held us
You have brought us to life
From our prison we have freedom
You have given us life

We have been rescued
We have been rescued

Sing to the Lord, sing a new song
Sing to the Lord, sing a new song

Tell of His glory, tell of His strength
Tell of the majesty and the beauty of His name

Sing to the Lord, sing a new song
Sing to the Lord, sing a new song

Every nation, every kingdom, every family from all the people
Every color, every race, every culture give Him praise
Every corner of creation, every country, every nation
Every language, every tongue singing praises to You alone

Echoes of thunder, flashes of light
Who is like our God?
Never has there been or never will be another like God

No one like, no one like God
No one like, no one like God
No one like, no one like God
No one like God

Glory surrounding, blazing with fire
Who is like our God?
No one on the earth or all of heaven compares to our God

No one like, no one like God
No one like, no one like God
No one like, no one like God
No one like God

There is none like God
Oh, there’s nobody like Him
There is none like God
And you will never find another
There is none like God

No one like, no one like God
No one like, no one like God
No one like, no one like God
No one like God

Come and listen while I talk about my God
Let me tell you what He’s done
Oh, in my desperation I cried out
He protected me, He rescued me
And now I’ve gotta praise, so I say…

Magnify, magnify, magnify the Lord with me
Magnify, magnify, magnify the Lord with me

Have you tasted of His mercy?
Have you seen that He is good?
If you’ve been a witness of His love
Get on up, testify
And let your voice be heard

Magnify, magnify, magnify the Lord with me
Magnify, magnify, magnify the Lord with me

Doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
I just wanna thank You

There I was alone in my sadness
There I was alone in my pain
Stuck in a mess all around me
Held by the weight of my shame
I cried to You and You heard me
You answered me
You reached down, pulled me out
Set my feet on solid ground and now I’m singing

Doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
I just wanna thank You

Here I am surprised by Your mercy
Here I am amazed at Your grace
You brought me into Your family
I’m bought with the price that You paid
See me now I’m walking in freedom
Yes, I am changed
I got joy deep in my soul
And now I overflow

Doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
I just wanna thank You

Lord, I was so lost – You found me
You gave me life, You saved me

I wanna thank You Lord, I wanna thank You Lord
I wanna thank You Lord, thank You for giving me life in You

My soul, lift up your voice and sing
To Him Who came and set me free
And opens up my eyes to see His faithfulness
When I look into His face
Fear is gone and shame erased
Remembering amazing grace
Compels me to say

Lord, I am grateful
So very grateful
You have been faithful
What more can I say?
I’m grateful

Seated in Heaven
Watching the earth
With angels all around
Beautiful mystery
Holy power
Mountains will bow down
The oceans cry out
And all across the sky
Is written in wonder
Who You are
And though the world fades away
You remain the same
And we respond to You as we say

We give glory to the only Majesty, Majesty
You are holy, You are clothed in majesty, Majesty

Coming from Heaven
Saving the earth
Appearing in the sky
There’ll be no question
Who You are
And as the world fades away
You remain the same
And we’ll respond to You as we say

We give glory to the only Majesty, Majesty
You are holy, You are clothed in majesty, Majesty

All of the earth resounds in praise
Here in our hearts we will bow down and say

We give glory to the only Majesty, Majesty
You are holy, You are clothed in majesty, Majesty

Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father
Hallowed be Your name
Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father
Hallowed be Your name

Let Your Kingdom come, let Your will be done
Over all the earth as it is in Heaven
Let Your Kingdom come, let Your will be done
Over all the earth as it is in Heaven

Like Rain

Can You hear me, can You hear me now?
I am crying, I am crying out
For relief from what I’m feeling
I am dry, so open up the sky

Like rain, fall down
Like rain, I feel You now

Can You see it, can you see it now?
Rain is falling, rain is falling down
Never ending, what I’m needing
You supply, You open up the sky

Like rain, fall down
Like rain, I feel You now

Can You hear me, can You hear me now?
I am crying, I am crying out
For relief from what I’m feeling
I am dry, so open up the sky

Like rain, fall down
Like rain, I feel You now

Can You see it, can you see it now?
Rain is falling, rain is falling down
Never ending, what I’m needing
You supply, You open up the sky

Like rain, fall down
Like rain, I feel You now

Beauty is what I see
As you’re standing in front of Me
A reflection of My heart
Crafted for My delight
You were made for glory and light
To display My majesty
This might surprise you
But give Me a chance
The question I’m dying to ask…

May I have this dance?
A divine romance
I’ll take you by the hand
And waltz through eternity
Put your trust in Me
Will you let Me lead?
I’ll sweep you off your feet
If you’ll let Me have this dance

Come here, don’t be afraid
As you draw near only be brave
And surrender to My song
Let go, lose all control
And just give yourself to the
Rhythm of following My touch
I will not hurt you
I’ll do no harm
As I take you into My arms

May I have this dance?
A divine romance
I’ll take you by the hand
And waltz through eternity
Put your trust in Me
Will you let Me lead?
I’ll sweep you off your feet
If you’ll let Me have this dance
