I will sing to the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
Bared His arm, drew His sword
Threw them all into the sea
My father’s God is strong
He is my strength, my song
He’s my salvation
Pharaoh’s might, Egypt’s hosts
By the waves were overthrown
All the strength they could boast
Sank before us like a stone
The horse and rider, He
Has cast into the sea
He’s our salvation
Who is like the Lord—
Mighty God, a man of war?
Who is like the Lord—
Awesome in His deeds?
A people You have redeemed
Will honor You as king
For You have shown them Your power to save
And by the strength of Your love
They’ll dwell secure above
High on the mountain of God always
Always
With a blast of His breath
As the waves stood in a heap
We were led, safe from death
Through the canyons of the deep
When Pharaoh said “Pursue!”
Your Spirit overthrew
His mighty nation
Let the earth stand in fear
Let their proud hearts melt away
When they see, when they hear
What the Lord has done today
When Egypt meant us harm
You bared a righteous arm
For our salvation
Who is like the Lord—
Mighty God, a man of war?
Who is like the Lord—
Awesome in His deeds?
A people You have redeemed
Will honor You as king
For You have shown them Your power to save
And by the strength of Your love
They’ll dwell secure above
High on the mountain of God always
A people You have redeemed
Will honor You as king
For You have shown them Your power to save
And by the strength of Your love
They’ll dwell secure above
High on the mountain of God always
Always
Sing unto the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and rider
He has thrown into the sea
Oh, Sing unto the Lord
He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and rider
He has thrown into the sea (repeat)

Let Every Valley (Is 40)

Comfort, O comfort My people
Come and speak comfort to them
Come tell them their warfare has ended
That they have paid twice for their sins
Let there be peace in the valley
Let them rejoice on the hills
Make straight in the desert a highway
Let the good Word of God be fulfilled
Let every valley be lifted up
Let the mountains and hills be made low
Let the rugged terrain
Be made a smooth plain
For the gospel to go
Somewhere I hear a voice calling
Tell me, oh what does it say?
That just like the flower in winter
Or the grass on a hot summer’s day
Man in his pomp too will perish
When God but breathes upon him
Yet unlike the riches he cherished
The good Word of God will not end
Let every valley be lifted up
Let the mountains and hills be made low
Let the rugged terrain
Be made a smooth plain
For the gospel to go
Let every valley be lifted up
Let the mountains and hills be made low
Let the rugged terrain
Be made a smooth plain
For the gospel to go
Comfort, O comfort My people

In You, Lord, I’ve taken refuge
Let me never be ashamed
In Your righteousness deliver
Hear as I beseech Your name
Be to me a rock of shelter
Where to run and safely hide
When the wicked’s nets entangle
Pull me out and be my guide
In You, Lord, I’ve taken refuge
Why must life be spent in tears?
Bones are weak and body’s wasted
Through the groans of bitter years
I’m a joke to them who hate You
I’m the horror of my friends
Some have even schemed and whispered
How to bring about my end
But, You are my strength
I trust to You my very soul
You are my strength
My life is under Your control
Save me, O God
In Your mercy be near
Save me, O God
For it’s You that I fear
Save me, O God
Who must ever be true
I put my trust in You
In You, Lord, I’ve taken refuge
For the sake of Your good name
Shine the light of favor on me
But the wicked put to shame
I hate all their filthy idols
And their tongues parading lies
Let them make their beds in sorrow
As for me, though, hear my cries
You are my strength
I trust to You my very soul
You are my strength
My life is under Your control
Save me, O God
In Your mercy be near
Save me, O God
For it’s You that I fear
Save me, O God
Who must ever be true
I put my trust in You
Save me, O God
In Your mercy be near
Save me, O God
For it’s You that I fear
Save me, O God
Who must ever be true
I put my trust in You

Remember me, my God,
When I am left alone,
Surrounded by my enemies
A hundred miles from home
And strengthen me my God,
When I can’t string my bow,
When trembling hands and trembling heart
My will, would overthrow
Then I’ll wait patiently,
For you will you hear my cry,
And lift me from the pit where I would die
If you were not my rock,
My fortress and salvation,
To fill my tongue with praise
And sing of all Your ways
Deliver me, my God,
When my heart is failing me
Blinded by my many sins,
My eyes they cannot see
Then bring unto my mind
Your Word revealed to me
Your law is written on my heart
Your will, my joy shall be
Then I will declare
The wonders of Your hand
Too numerous to count or understand
O Lord You are my Rock
My hope is found in You
O keep me Lord from pride
May I never turn aside
For those who seek the Lord,
Are glad and satisfied,
And those who love salvation
Sing, “God be glorified”,
But I am poor and needy,
Lord, think of me today,
The wicked man pursues me still,
My God, do not delay
Give to me, my God,
Your tender mercies, show
Your lovingkindness to me, Lord,
Your faith, to me bestow
Preserve your truth, my God,
Make haste to come and save,
Be pleased to shame my enemies
Who’d chase me to the grave
Then I will proclaim
The wonders of Your hand
Your song anew I’ll sing and not refrain
For many men will come
To fear and trust in You
To fill your courts with praise
And rejoice in all Your ways
May those who seek the Lord,
Be glad and satisfied,
And those who love salvation
Sing, “God be glorified”,
But I am poor and needy,
Lord, think of me today,
The wicked man pursues me still,
My God, do not delay
Make haste to come and save me, Lord
My God, do not delay

How blessed is the man
Whose transgressions are forgiven
How blessed is the man
Whose spirit tells the truth within
To be free from guilt and shame
To be holy, without blame
How blessed is the man
To whom the LORD God gave His Name
When I was silent in my sin
My bones wasted away
Your heavy hand pressed down on me
And held through night and day
Oh, the burning heat, like summer’s day,
Had drained the life in me
And by the trials that You gave
You made my eyes to see
How blessed is the man
Whose transgressions are forgiven
How blessed is the man
Whose spirit tells the truth within
To be free from guilt and shame
To be holy, without blame
How blessed is the man
To whom the LORD God gave His Name
I laid my sin before Your throne
And nothing did I hide
I said, "I will confess to you"
And cast it all aside
Oh, the guilt that I had held within
Brought me to my grave
But You forgave me all my sin
And showed Your power to save
How blessed is the man
Whose transgressions are forgiven
How blessed is the man
Whose spirit tells the truth within
To be free from guilt and shame
To be holy, without blame
How blessed is the man
To whom the LORD God gave His Name
Therefore every godly man
Must pray while You’ll be found
Though many waters rise
He will be safe upon the ground
O Lord, You are my hiding place
No trouble threatens me
And songs of Your deliverance
Do bear me safely free
I will be a guide to you
A light upon your way
O, be not like a stubborn mule
Come freely and obey
For many sorrows come upon
The wicked men who groan
But lovingkindness showers down
From God upon His own
How blessed is the man
Whose transgressions are forgiven
How blessed is the man
Whose spirit tells the truth within
To be free from guilt and shame
To be holy, without blame
How blessed is the man
To whom the LORD God gave His Name

Why do you stand afar off, O Lord?
Why do you hide Yourself in times of trouble?
Proudly the wicked pursues the poor
By his own plots, Lord, let him be surprised
Rise up, O Lord
Hear how he boasts of his heart’s desire
See how he taunts, Lord, he’s not going to seek You
All of his thoughts are, “There is no God”
Why do You let him live before Your eyes?
Rise up, O Lord! God, lift up Your hand
Why do You let these wicked men stand?
When will you break them, take them in hand
You’ve always been a helper of the orphan
Rise up, O Lord
His mouth is filled with oppressive words
Why do you let him prosper by deceiving?
He sits secure, living undisturbed
Your judgments never even cross his mind
Lying in wait for the helpless child
Lurking in shadow, trying hard to cheat them
He stalks his prey like a hungry lion
Why do You let him live before Your eyes?
Rise up, O Lord!
God, lift up Your hand
Why do You let these wicked men stand?
When will you break them, take them in hand
You’ve always been a helper of the orphan
Rise up, O Lord
Rise up, O Lord
Rise up, O Lord
Rise up, O Lord
The Lord is King! Let all the peoples tremble
Every evil thing will perish from the land
For God will vindicate the cause of the afflicted
And uphold them with His hand
The Lord is King! And He will live forever
Every wicked scheme of man’s will fall apart
For God will bring it down, and give to all the humble
The desires of their heart
Rise up, O Lord
Rise up, O Lord
Rise up, O Lord
Rise up, O Lord

At all times I will bless the LORD
And ever praise Him with my voice
My soul will make its boast in God
The humble hear it and rejoice
I sought the LORD in darkest night
He saved me by His glorious might
O look upon His holy face
And let your gloom be turned to light
O lift Your voices, praise His name
The Mighty God has power to save
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name together
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name forever
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me
This poor man sought the LORD on high
To save him from his bitter plight
Then God arose with outstretched arm
To save him and to win the fight
The mighty angel of the LORD
Surrounds His saints and bears His sword
O fear the LORD upon His throne
For He will come to save His own
So let us all lift up His name
For God alone has power to save
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name together
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name forever
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me
O taste and see that God is good
May every blessing come to you
How wonderful! How precious is His grace!
Though lions lack for want of food
The LORD will give you all that’s good
For those who fear His holy name
Every blessing they will claim
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name together
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me (x3)
Listen, children, hear my voice
I will teach you holy fear
Let your soul in God rejoice
Take these words and hold them dear
May your tongue from evil flee
And your lips not speak deceit
Turn away from wicked deeds
Walk the path that leads to peace
With the righteous God abides
And He hears their mournful cries
All their troubles shall be gone
And their sorrows turned to song
God is near the brokenhearted
How He loves and tends His own
I am saved; I am redeemed
I am His and His alone
Taste and see, O taste and see
Forever faithful He will be
Not a bone of mine will break
And my soul He’ll not forsake
What should be my cause to fear?
For my God is ever near
Evil men shall not prevail
For my God will never fail
Hallelujah! Praise the Savior
How He loves and tends His own
I am saved; I am redeemed
I am His and His alone
God is near the brokenhearted
How He loves and tends His own
I am saved; I am redeemed
I am His and His alone
I am saved; I am redeemed
I am His and His alone

LORD, How Long (Ps 13)
04:22
|

|
How long will you forget me, LORD?
Shall I never see Your light;
Will it be forever night?
How long You hide Your face from me?
O LORD, How long?
LORD, How long?
How long with sorrow in my heart,
As these waves upon me roll,
Shall I counsel my own soul?
How long my enemy prevail?
O LORD, How long?
Hear me, O my God
Hear the groaning of my heart
And do not let my weary soul be torn apart
Oh, be to me a light
Or in the darkness I will die
Oh, do not hide
Or I will die
Now, do I sleep the sleep of death?
Have my days come to an end?
O LORD, will You defend?
Come, holy Savior, come my way
To You, I pray
Now, will you claim the victory?
Or shall my enemy rejoice
With the mocking of their voice?
LORD, in Your righteousness prevail
Oh, do not fail
Hallelujah, LORD
You heard the groaning of my heart,
You did not leave me for the wolves to tear apart
O LORD, You are my light
And in Your presence I will sing
For what you’ve done
Oh, Hallelujah, LORD
You heard the groaning of my heart,
You did not leave me for the wolves to tear apart
O LORD, You are my light
And in Your presence I will sing
For what you’ve done!
I will sing for what you’ve done
I will sing! I will sing!

Behold Your King
06:20
|
|||
|
Behold your King in manger bed
While angels sing and demons dread
With newborn cries that pierce the night
The dark is pierced with ancient light
Behold your King, with His first breath
He mocks the proud and kisses death
While donkeys bray and powers scheme
He plots His course to reign supreme
Behold your King; He’s crowned with hay
The Word made flesh with feet of clay
The heavens bow; His star will blaze
Some will scorn and some will praise
Behold your King; He’s crowned with thorns
The Word made curse, the curtain torn
He climbs the tree, He tastes the gall
He eats the fruit of Adam’s fall
Behold your King among the thieves
But for His shame there are no leaves
They pierced the hands that healed their hurts
Turned dust to dust and dirt to dirt
Behold your King as darkness spreads
As earth revolts, returns its dead
His lifeless clay rests in the tomb
All is black and all is gloom
Behold your King, He’s standing there
He draws in breath, He breathes the air
The righteous cry, the heavens ring
“Death is dead, long live the King”
Hallelujah! Let the heavens ring
For Jesus reigns over everything
The wicked mock, the righteous sing
Sin is dead. Behold your King
Behold your King with arms for war
The once-slain lamb, the lion’s roar
He pours His wrath on death and sin
They cannot run they cannot win
Behold your King with iron rod
In robes of white all stained with blood
He comes to reign over sea and land
So bow your knee or take your stand
Behold your King whose sword is drawn
To slay that harlot Babylon
He comes for war and by His side
The risen saints, His glorious Bride
Hallelujah! Let the heavens ring
For Jesus reigns over everything
The wicked mock, the righteous sing
Sin is dead. Behold your King
Sin is dead. Behold your King
Behold Your King -
