What More Could I Want

Out of darkness.  Out of night.
Out of blindness into light.
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

Out of sickness.  Out of pain.
Into healing once again.
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

CHORUS
How He loves me. How He loves me. Jesus loves me this I know.
How He loves me.  How He saved me. For the Bible tells me so

Out of trials into peace.
Out of sorrow, joy released
Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord

CHORUS

BRIDGE
He gives me beauty for ashes and a garment of praise
He gives me mercy unending and a mountain of grace
He gives me hope for tomorrow and a heart full of faith
What more could I want?  What more could I want?
What more could I want from Him?

Great Disgrace

What else can I do but be myself
I cannot just copy somebody else
I have to rely on what the Lord has given me

But I often I think this life is hard
I try to pretend that I am smart
And now I am falling hard and no one will rescue me

Help me to see the path that I have walked
Help me to learn the voice that leads me to the dark
Help me to leave my foolish pride behind admitting my mistakes
And humbly bow before your throne in great disgrace

Have mercy, Lord, on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I didn’t listen.  I wasn’t wise
I could not see the enemy’s eyes
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me

Now I know what to do with this mess
I come to you now and I confess
Greed and alluring talk of grandeur led me astray

I will walk out of my despair
I will come up and small the air
You shine a light along my path to show me the way

You help me see the path that I have walked
You help me learn the voice that led me to the dark
You help me leave my foolish pride behind and look on up ahead
There you await with open arms and calm my fear

Have mercy, Lord on me
I bow down at your feet and humbly plea
I will now listen.  I’ll open my eyes
I will turn to you to help me be wise
Have mercy, precious Lord, on me

Hallelujah to the Risen One

I don’t know why I can be taken for a ride
Why do I let the enemy come into my life
He comes to steal, kill and destroy
I find myself as helpless as a little boy

I don’t know how I get myself into this mess
When I have a Savior who says I will be blessed
I need to walk into the arms of my Lord and King
For only he can save me from the death I’m in

What a Savior.  What a friend
What a comforter His Spirit is
What a joy to be in the presence of the King
I lift my voice and His praises I sing

Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!
Blessed Jesus, Son of God.  Hallelujah to the risen one

The Mercy That I Seek

Somewhere in the darkest night He’s waiting
Waiting for my praise to rise to Him
Somewhere in my deepest need He answers
Filling me with His amazing grace
Somewhere in my heart there is a witness 
Urging me to bring more souls to Him
Somewhere in my weakness He will strengthen
Sending me to sow the seeds of faith

I just need to cry out
I just need to listen
I just need to hear Him when He speaks
I just need to praise Him
I just need to worship
He will give the mercy that I seek

How amazing is our God
Oh, how gracious is His love
Oh, how wonderful He is each day to me
All my worship and my praise
All to Him In Jesus name
What a savior, what a friend indeed

Holy Is The Lamb

He will come riding on the clouds to greet me on that grand and glorious day
His trumpet shall sound His coming. We'll be gathered home to stay 
All creation groans awaiting His return. All of heaven waits His coming bride 
We shall rise to meet Him glory to our mansions in the sky

We'll sing blessing and honor glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing and honor glory and power to the Risen Lord of Lords
By His blood He has saved us.  Alive He has raised us to live forever more
Blessing and honor, glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne

On the day He returns in His glory all eyes will be turned to Him
We will know in that precious moment that we belong to Him
He will shine like a brilliant sunrise.  His eyes will look into our souls
Every knee shall bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord

We'll sing blessing and honor glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne
Blessing and honor glory and power to the Risen Lord of Lords
By His blood He has saved us.  Alive He has raised us to live forever more
Blessing and honor, glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne

Holy, holy, holy is He. Holy is the Lamb

Blessing and honor glory and power to the Risen Lord of Lords
By His blood He has saved us.  Alive He has raised us to live forever more
Blessing and honor, glory and power to the Lamb upon the throne

You Found Me

As I sit here and ponder my life
I wonder how I survived 
So many years without you, Lord
Walking close by my side

I looked for some purpose or meaning
But out of control I kept reeling 
I was a wreck without you, Lord 
Being my comfort and guide

Then you found me, 
Desperate and broken
You picked me up out of the ashes
Out of the miry clay I was in
You stood me up and turned me around
And I've never looked back since

There's a spring in my step today
I know you have shown me your ways
I am now safe in your arms, Lord
You're walking with me everyday 

Since you found me
Molded and shaped me
Into a vessel filled up with you
Redeemed and anointed
Your Spirit dwells in me and guides me
I am your child and you are mine

You found me broken and put me together
You found me sickly and healed me forever
You found me lonely and said you’re my child
You found me restless your peace made me mild
You found me sinful and set my soul free
You found me drowning and you rescued me
You found me wandering and showed me the way
You found me angry and taught me to pray

Since you found me
Molded and shaped me
Into a vessel filled up with you
Redeemed and anointed
Your Spirit dwells in me and guides me
I am your child and you are mine

Amen

Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen
To the promises of God Amen
Every word He has spoken is ours today
Amen. Amen. Amen.

He was wounded for my transgressions
He was bruised for my iniquities
The punishment for my peace was upon Him
And by His stripes I am healed

Do not fear for He is with you
Be not afraid for He is your God
He will comfort you.  He will keep you
He will hold you in His hand
Amen.  Amen.  Amen

You will lead me beside still waters
You will restore my soul
You will lead me in the paths of righteousness
So, I can glorify your name

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
You will be with me all the way
Your rod and your staff will comfort me
And I will dwell in your house forever

Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen
To the promises of God Amen
Every word He has spoken is our today
Amen. Amen. Amen.

Raised Up

A widows son had died and left her all alone 
The funeral proceeded and a crowd gathered around
Jesus walked by as the people wailed and wept
With compassion He raised that young boy back to life again

A ruler of the templd had a daughter who was dead
The doctors had ann9unced it and all the people wept
But Jesus walked into her room and took her by the hand
Rise up on your feet my child, you're alive again

They were raised up!
From the dead, they were raised up
When Jesus comes around
New life will abound
So set your eyes on Him and be raised up!

Lazarus had died,  three days was in the grave
Jesus came a calling, lifted up His voice and prayed
The stone was rolled away and
Lazarus came out
I'm sure he praised the Lord and lifted up a shout

He'll raise you up from the depths of sin
New life will be yours, Victor within 
Come to Him today, fall upon His grace 
Be raised up!  Be raised up

The Impossible Made Possible

He was sitting at the gate, just biding his time
Not expecting very much, perhaps just a dime
He’d been brought their every day, all of His life
It was all he knew to do.

Then one day two men came along to find him there
They asked him to look up and he looked into their stare
They said they had not alms for him.  He thought they didn’t care
There was not much he could say

Then one man spoke to him with all authority
He took His hand and helped him rise up on his feet
Those legs that always failed him now held up like a tree
True joy came over him that day

He went leaping and shouting and praising God
Leaping and shouting and praising the one who had raised him. 
The one who had saved him
He went leaping and shouting and praising God
Leaping and shouting and praising the name of Jesus
The wonderful name of Jesus

All the people marveled that the man was on his feet
Every day they’d seen him begging alms out in the street
Now they see him dancing, no longer in defeat
They wondered how this could be

Peter spoke up as the one who helped him rise
He testified of Jesus whom the people had denied
It was Jesus name that brought the man a whole new life
Now Jesus power they could see

How long have you been lame or in defeat?
Have you been afflicted with sins dread disease?
The impossible is possible when His name you plea
Call on Him today and you will see

You’ll be leaping and shouting and praising God
Leaping and shouting and praising the one who will raise you. 
The one who will save you
You’ll be leaping and shouting and praising God
Leaping and shouting and praising the name of Jesus
The wonderful name of Jesus

In His name is power. In His name is might, 
In His name the strongholds will flee from your life
