Find Rest (Matthew 11)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Are you weary? Are you wearing thin?
Are you tired beneath your heavy load?
Are you weighed down 
And at last convinced?
You cannot carry this burden on your own.

Chorus:
Find rest, find rest for your soul
I’ll walk beside you, you’re not alone
Find rest, find rest for your soul
Light and easy, come take my yoke

Verse 2:
Come to me now, lay your burdens here
Walk with me now, in quietness & trust
I am gentle, cast aside your fear
I’ll befriend you with my steadfast love

Chorus

Bridge:
All the work is done, it is finished
No, you’re not enough, but it is finished
I will lead you on, til at last your home          
Ever to sing this song, “It is finished”

Chorus

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!

Chorus to Turn

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,

Be on the Lookout

Lyrics

Chorus:
Lift up your head
Be on the lookout
Wake from your bed
Don’t fall asleep

Lift up your head
He’s comin’ soon now
Get yourself ready
For the comin’ of the King

Verse 1:
Could a mother forget her children
Could a husband forget his wife?
How much more then, will he remember,
Will He come and set things right!

Cast aside all the works of darkness
Live as children of the day
Light your lamps and keep them burnin’
Till we see our bridegroom’s face

Chorus

See those fields, they’re ripe for harvest
See the work that’s left undone
Take to the world his love and justice
Singin’ “let his kingdom come!”
Oh let his kingdom come!

Comfort, Oh Comfort

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Comfort, oh comfort
To every place that is scorched and dry Comfort, speak comfort
To every darkness in need of the light

In the wilderness, the green of Eden
In the wasteland, the garden blooms
Up from the desert, springs a river
For He is making everything new
Oh oh

Comfort, oh comfort
There is a highway through this dry land
They will call him a Man of Sorrows
And like a seed, buried deep to rise again

For the ransomed will return with a song
And with joy, we’ll come into Zion
And all our sorrow, all our sighing will be gone

Joy (As Far As the Curse Is Found)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Eternal God, there at the beginning
Stepping into time, into the world
All for love, the infinite descending
To kick inside the womb of a girl

Verse 2:
A king is born, far from any palace
Bending low to serve instead
Majesty, He’s given up his status
Robed in the weakness of the flesh

Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth

Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again

Verse 3:
Let’s go with the wise men
Laying down our treasures
Falling on our knees to give him praise
With the angel choir
Singing to the shepherds
Glory to God in the highest place

Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
It’s worth!

Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him

Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again

Bridge:
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
(Joy to the world)

As far as the curse is found
(Let earth receive her king)
As far as the curse is found
(Let all creation sing)

As far as the curse is found
(And let his blessings flow)
As far as the curse is found
(Til the whole world knows!)

There Will Be a Day (Isaiah 2)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
There will be a day when the house of God
Like a mountain o’er the hills will be lifted up
As a river flows ever to the sea
All the nations will flow to Him Like a living stream

Verse 2:
There will be a day when the prince of peace
Will break the bow and sword and make all wars cease
And our guns and bombs will be melted down
Into plowshares for the harvest, how we’re longing for it now

Chorus:
When we’ll go to the mountain of God
We’ll walk in His ways
We’ll look on His face

We’ll go to the mountain of God
We’ll cast down our pride
And walk in His light
On the mountain of God

Verse 3:
There will be a day, and it’s drawing near
When He’ll lift the veil of death and He’ll dry our tears
And with joy we’ll go to His wedding feast
And His glory will fill up the earth like the waters fill the sea

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

Bring the proud heart low
Let the humble heart sing
Break down all your walls, your defenses
Swing wide your gates

Lo, he has come set them captives free
I know he has come

Lift up your heads and see the sun

There is a Mountain

Lyrics

Verse 1:
There is a mountain only the lame can climb
There is a table only the hungry find
Only the beggar will have the currency
When need is all you need

Verse 2:
There is a victory only the conquered gain
There is a glory that you get when give up your name
Oh the peace when you finally yield yourfight
In surrender rise

Chorus:
Come with open hands in need
Come hearts broken, bended knee
A gift can only be received
Received

Verse 3:
Come to the mountain, He carries the cripple to the feast
Come to the table, come sit,He has saved you a seat
Come and eat and drink without money and without a cost
He has paid it on the cross

Chorus

Bridge:
The King bends low to wash our feet
To give himself as an offering
To lead us home to that wedding feast
We taste it now, at last we’ll eat

Of that richest food, oh that well-aged wine
The shroud will lift, our tears he’ll dry
Come hungry souls be satisfied
Both now and forever

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
