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

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!)

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

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

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

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

Pleasing to You God

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

From Him, to Him
Lyrics
O, the depths of the riches
Of the wisdom and the knowledge
Of our God, our God
How unsearchable his judgments
How unfathomable his ways!
Who could be His counselor?
Could give Him a gift He must repay?
For from Him and to Him
All things through Him (Amen!)
Honor, power
Glory forever to Him (Amen!)
He was in the beginning
His blood has bought our peace
Over, above, before
The Son, the risen Lord
Exalted over everything!

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
