Let It Be So With Your Church

Lyrics

Verse 1:
As our Jesus in love touched the leper
Offered grace when they’d cast a stone
As he ate with the outcasts and sinners        
With his church, let it be so 

Verse 2:
As he preached the good news of the kingdom
As he healed them both body and soul
As he gave up his life for God’s children
With his church, let it be so

Chorus:
Let it be so with your church, O God
We are your hands and feet
As Jesus bent low to serve in love
So with us let it be
So with us let it be

Verse 3:
Let us go with our Lord to the margins
To the broken, the poor and the lost
By His Spirit, we’ll push back the darkness
Let his church take up her cross 

Chorus

Bridge:
Come help us, Lord Jesus
To love as you loved (Oh, let it be so)
We remember your gospel
How you first loved us (Oh, let it be so)

To seek justice, love mercy
And care for the weak (Oh, let it be so)
To live now in light of
The kingdom we seek (Oh, let it be so)

Chorus

Turn the Tables

Lyrics

Verse 1:
You exploit the ones who would worship
Use devotion to make a dime
Sell the sacred to turn a profit
Make the holy into merchandise

When all the world tries to get in the building
They can’t get in the door cause it’s
Overcrowded with goods and salesmen
In the holy house of the Lord

Verse 2:
Jesus comes in turning over tables
Flies into a righteous rage
Makes a whip and drives out the idols
He’s jealous for His Father’s name

When all the world tries to get in the building
He’ll stand like an open door ‘cause in
Three days gonna raise a signal
This way to the house of the Lord

Chorus:
Turn the tables, turn the tables over
Turn the tables, turn the tables over

Verse 3:
Do you want to make a cut on the story
Do you want to see your name in lights
Do you want a percentage of the glory
It’s not something you commodify

Don’t you know that your heart is a temple
He’s knocking down your door so
Let Him in and he’ll turn over tables
Make your heart a house for the Lord

Chorus 2x

Tag:
Turn the tables, turn the tables,
turn the tables over
Turn the tables, turn the tables,
turn the tables over

He is Risen

Lyrics

He is risen, He is risen
And the stone is rolled away
He is risen, He is risen
Proven by the empty grave

Touch his wounds, his hands, his side
And leave all your doubts behind
He is risen, He is risen
He is risen and alive

Death is beaten, sin is vanquished
God’s just wrath is satisfied
Christ is risen, Christ exalted
Seated at the Father’s side

His body torn, our living way
Our living hope, His body raised
He is risen, He isrisen
He is risen from the grave

He is risen, He is risen
This is all my hope and stay
He is risen, He is risen
He is risen from the grave!

Jesus risen is returning
We are longing for the day
When the King will bring the kingdom
For this blessed hope we wait

The trumpet sounds and we are changed
And we will see him face to face
Jesus risen, Jesus risen
Jesus risen from the grave

The trumpet sounds and we are changed
And death itself will pass away
We are risen, with him risen
We are risen from the grave

Wake Up

Lyrics

Through oneman death it came
Running like a virus through our veins

Sin it comes and takes the reigns
Builds its kingdom on the backs of slaves

Through a second man Adam’s better son
Death it dies, and life it comes

Every power under his feet
Death is dyin’ in defeat

Wake up, wake up
And listen for the trumpet sound
For a dead man rose up from the ground

Rise up, rise up
You dry bones in the dirt
For the Son of God has risen up first

I tell you this mystery
Death itself will lose its sting

When the dying dress in the deathless life
And we are changed in the twinkle of an eye

Sown in weakness, raised in power
Sown in dust, death and dishonor
Raised immortal, never again to die
Death is swallowed up by life
