Emmanuel (Every Promise Yes in Him)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Blessed seed of Abraham
Born the nations now to bless
Promised son of mother Eve
Come to crush the serpent’s head

Christ the sinless lamb of God
Every law in Him complete
Slain to ransom rebel hearts
Raised for us a great high priest

Chorus:
He is here, He is here!
Emmanuel, God draws near
At long last, He has come!
Emmanuel, the Promised One

Verse 2:
Isaiah’s servant suffering
By His wounds we are healed
Son of man in Daniel’s dream
Glorious myst’ry now revealed

King of kings on David’s throne
His rule and reign will never end
He will bring the exiles home
When His advent comes again

Chorus

Bridge
The one the prophets longed to know
(Emmanuel)
The first, the last, the cornerstone!
(Emmanuel)
Every promise finds its yes in Him!
Spirit with us til we sing this song again

Chorus (2x)

Eve’s Lament (Genesis)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I wandered far away with my love
I feelthe tall grass on my legs
The sun is warm, the birds are singing
I should’ve run when I had the chance

Verse 2:
I felt him sliding up beside me
His words they played upon my pride
I felt the lie wrap all around me
I let his whisper hypnotize

Chorus:
Did He really say it? Why is He keeping you down?
Don’t you want to taste it? Freedom without Him around?
Don’t you want to know? Don’t you want to choose?
You want it, don’t you? Don’t you?

Verse 3:
I took the fruit of my desire
Sweet the poison in my mouth
Awake, awake the the fall, the fire
The lie constricts, the curse clamps down

Chorus

Bridge:
Shame the venom running through my veins
A curse, a cancer and my deathA
nd every childof mine, will feel the serpent’s bite
But one will crush his head
But one will crush his head
Oh come and crush his head!
Crush his head!

He Has Made a Way

Lyrics

Verse 1:
On the edge of that sea
The waves are high and the water deep
At your back an enemy
With chariots and swords
Don’t you fear, stand your ground
The Lord’s gonna fight this battle
You have only to shut your mouth
Believe and don’t get rattled

Verse 2:
Watch that man raise his staff
Watch that sea divide in half
Your enemy gonna need a raft
When the waves come tumblin’ down
Lift your voice when you reach the shore!
Sing that song and praise the Lord
The Promised Land it lies before
Children, go on down

Chorus:
He has made a way!
He has made a way!
He has made a way!

Verse 3:
Sinners come to a chasm deep
With heavy chains, we’re bound to sink
He comes on over here to lead
To that Golden Shore
Come on y’all, it’s solid ground
Grab a friend, and come on down
Our chains are gone
We’re homeward bound
To that Golden Shore

Chorus

Bridge:
I was at the bottom of the sea!
(He has made a way)
He reached on down and delivered me!
(He has made a way)
Now we are bound for God’s good Land!
(He has made a way)
Let’s walk with joy as we follow Him!
(He has made a way)
He has made way!

Chorus:
He has made a way!
He has made a way!
He has made a way!
He has made a way!

All the Stars

Lyrics

You followed me out to desert places
Leaving all familiar faces
To a land I will
Show you, promise you

Lift your eyes and look around you
Know my promise will be found true
All the land you see, will your children’s be

And all the stars in the big, big sky
And all the sand in the oceans wide
Will not outnumber, will not outnumber you

All the people in the big, big world
All the nations of the earth
They will wonder, they will wonder at you

From your blood shall come kings
Everlasting, everlasting
My covenant will be steadfast and free

From you shall come many nations and generations
They will be my lot, and I will their God

But up on the mountain the stars lose their light
An ocean of sorrows you raise the knife
But I will rememberand I will provide
The blood for the altarand raise up his life

Garden

Lyrics

Beauty from void, dark to light
Sun for the day, stars for the night
For you I’ll plant a garden, fill it with light
Food for your mouth and color for eyes, and...

I will breathe into the dust
The breath of life and all my love
And when you open your eyes
You will see and be satisfied
Because I will be with you
I will be with you, I

Fall asleep; I’ll make for you a love
Love like a shield, like a home, like a dove
You are free, but ever enthralled
And I, I will be your all, and...

Pick the lies right off the tree
Your eyes are opened but not to see
Build a tower to the sky
You think you know, you think you're wise
Melt your gold down to a god
Sell your soul to pay for your facade
Trade your truth for silence
I’ll let you loose if you want it

The Passover Song

Lyrics

There’s a promise in our veins
But it’s faded by all these years in chains
Send a prophet, send the plagues
That by sunrise we will no more be slaves

Take the lamb, take the blood
And paint it on our doorways
At night death will come but pass us by

This is all our hope and peace

In the morning we will rise
Taste the freedom we thought we’d never find
We will dance now in the streets
Once held captive now we shall live as kings

Lift your head, your voice
And sing of your salvation
Of theblood of the lamb that gave us life

Now by this we’ll overcome
Now by this we’ll reach our home

There’s a poison in our veins
And it leads to death we cannot escape
Send a ransom, a perfect Son
Remedy the curse with His precious blood

And the Lamb that will come
His cross will be our doorway
And the red of His blood will make us white
And daughters and sons
Rejoice in resurrection
And death swallowed up in endless life

Glory, glory this I sing
All my praise for this I bring
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
