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)

The Year of His Favor (Isaiah 61)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
The Spirit of the Lord is on you
A King anointed for the cross
To the helpless you bring good news
You come to bind the broken heart

Verse 2:
Speaking freedom to the captive
Comfort to the ones who grieve
To the downcast, you bring justice
To the needy one, relief

Chorus:
You give beauty for ashes
You pour out the oil of gladness
The year of his favor comes
The year of his favor

You give to the weak and faint 
A garment of joy and praise
The year of his favor comes...

Verse 3:
You come to raise up what’s been ruined
Rivers in a desert waste
You are the Lord and you will do this
For the glory of your name

Chorus

Turn:
Come, Lord! Come, Lord! Come, Lord! Come, Lord!

Bridge:
The broken dance, the blind will see
The sick are healed, the mute will sing
The dead alive, the sinner free
The kingdom’s here, At last, the King!

We Wait for You

Lyrics

Verse 1:
A broken mirror, painted black
There is no light reflected back
Thorns grow up where there was green
All sorrow, shame and broken things

Paradise has barred its doors
Its guarded by the flaming swords
We can’t go back, we can’t go back

Chorus:
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait

Verse 2:
A forest cut down by the axe
Like the end of the story
When it’s all turned to ash
But up from the stump, the bud of a flower
A seed of hope in the eleventh hour

And from the shadow the sun will rise
The people in darkness will see a great light We’re longing, praying for the dawn

Chorus:
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with your light
We wait, we wait

Verse 3:
He takes the thorns upon His head
His body pierced, His arms outstretched
Says “It is finished,” and the sun went down
We laid His body in the ground

But life oh life comes bursting forth
And paradise swings wide its doors
Our King will rise to take His throne
And He will return to lead us home
To dry every tear and right every wrong
How long, O Lord? How long? How long?

Chorus 2:
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait for You
Come with Your light
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
We wait, we wait
For You

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I see a city coming down
Like a bride in whitest gown,
Purely dressed
I see the pilgrims coming home
All creation finds shalom;
The promised rest

Pre Chorus:
The Lamb of God will be her light
The sun will have no need to shine

Chorus 1:
Behold, behold
God makes His home with us!
He’ll take his throne, forever glorious!
The curse will be undone!
O come lord, Jesus come

The Lord will banish every sin
All that's broken He will mend;
And make new
And we will see Him face to face
As He wipes our tears away;
Death is through

And all the ransomed and redeemed
From every tongue and tribe will sing

Chorus 1

Bridge:
At last the darkness
Will surrender to the light
But we unveiled in glory will forever shine
At last the powers of hell
Will drown in lakes of fire
But we will freely drink
The crystal streams of life
Come thirsty taste and see
Come hungry to the feast
Come weary find your peace
The Bride and Spirit sing
Come! Come!

Chorus 2:
Behold, behold
God makes His home with us
He’ll take his throne, forever glorious!
Behold, behold
God makes His home with us
He’ll take his throne, forever glorious!

Oh come, Lord Jesus, come

We Draw Near (Hebrews)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Year by year, in the temple
Blood was shed by the priest
To atone for the people
But it could not make them clean

Pre-Chorus 1:
Til He came, spotless Lamb
Offered himself, put away sin
Once and for all, once and for all
It is finished!

Chorus:
So, we draw near
We boldly come
Jesus, our righteousness
Washedby his blood

We draw near
To your throne of grace
Jesus, our confidence
Seeking your face

Verse 2:
Our High Priest, Word made flesh
Worthy of the Holy Place
Curtain torn, at His death
Christ the new and living way

Pre-Chorus 2:
Rising up, he entered in
He sat down, at Your right hand
He is alive, He is alive!
Interceding!

Chorus

Bridge (2x):
Let our praises
Rise up as an incense
Filled with reverence and awe

Let our lives be
Poured out for your glory
Pleasing to You God

Tag:
We are seeking your face
Seeking your face
Seeking your face

Do Not Lose Heart

Lyrics

Though outwardly we waste away
Our flesh and foe assail us
Though we grow weary on the way
The promise will not fail us

We feel the ache, our spirits groan
We long for full redemption
When God will bring His children home
Forever to be with Him

Do not lose heart, our hope is stronger
Jesus is risen up
Do not lose heart, our king has conquered
And He will overcome

Though suffering is long and hard
It’s only momentary
Compared to heaven’s great reward
Eternal weight of glory

We fix our eyes upon the cross
Where he endured our shame
We hold to love that can’t be lost
And joy that will not fade

Do not lose heart, our hope is stronger
Jesus is risen up
Do not lose heart, our king has conquered
And He will overcome
So we will overcome

Bought with the blood
Sealed by the Spirit
When the storm rises
We will not fear it
Beloved children
Heirs of the Father
He is our trust
Our hope is stronger

Breath of God

Lyrics

The Breath of God, the Promised One
Filled their mouths and loosed their tongues
To sing the praise of the risen Son
The mighty works that God has done

The breath of God on daughters, sons
He is poured out on old and young
To sing the praise of the risen Son
The mighty works that God has done

O breath of God, O Spirit come
Fill our mouths, And loose our tongues
To sing the praise of the risen son
The mighty works that God has done

In these last days, everyone
Who calls the name of the Risen Son
They shall be saved by His precious blood
Oh mighty work that God has done!

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

Your Wounds

Lyrics

Oh man of sorrows
Hated and despised
So marred, so ugly
We all turned our eyes

Like sheep we’ve wandered
Going our own way
It pleased the Father
To crush You in our place

Your wounds, our healing
Your stripes, our peace
You carried our sorrows
You carried our griefs
Your suffering our hope

You poured out your soul
Unto death
So we could be counted
Righteous

Sinless one who takes our sins
Dying one our death condemns
Bearing our guilt though innocent
But the grave can’t hold you in
