For All My Sin

Brought before the judgment hall
Though He just did good
Persecuted false was He
Condemned for my sin

Beaten within one last breath
Wore a crown of thorns
Spit and kicked upon was He
Bruised for all my sin

Carried His own cross of death
Fell beneath it's weight
Nailed through hands and feet was He
Suffered for my sin

Given vinegar to drink
Sword pierced through His side
Hanging there for me was He
Dying for my sin

High and lifted up was He
High above the ground
Hanging on a cross was He
Taking all my sin

He gave His own life away
To purchase life for me
Placed in borrowed tomb was He
Buried for my sin.

I will lift my voice to Him
And give Him all my praise
For He did all of this for me
I will praise His name

What A Loss

Jesus, King of Kings. Jesus, Lord of Lords
It is you that we adore. 
Jesus Lamb of God sent to save the world
Guide us daily by your word

Left your throne in heaven to be born in a manger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid amid the hay 
Shepherd's came to worship, wise men bearing gifts
All because a star showed them the way

You grew up as a carpenter like any other boy
Knowing that your destiny would lead you to a cross
Filled with grown up wisdom even as a boy of twelve
Your parents only guessed at what your life would cost

Baptized in the Jordan, doves descend from heaven
Landing on you, standing there as meek as a lamb
Others hear a voice saying this is my son
Having no idea you are the great I AM.

You walked throughout the land healing as you went
Every man and child you touched was changed
Raising up the dead, feeding many thousands
Sending devils running as they called your name

But leaders didn't know you had come to save the world
Your power and authority they could not understand
So they conspired against you and turned the crowds away
After trials you heard "crucify him" all across the land

Whipped and beaten, crown of thorns laid upon your head
Through the streets you had to carry your own cross
Nails thru feet and hands, they hung you between two thieves
They hung you there to die, oh what a loss

You laid in the tomb as disciples wept on sorrow
Women came with spices to anoint the dead
But you arose in splendor, majesty and power
And gave us all the hope of a future in heaven

Jesus, King of Kings. Jesus, Lord of Lords
It is you that we adore. 
Jesus Lamb of God sent to save the world
Guide us daily by your word

There’s the empty cross where my Savior died
Paid the price for sin.  Now I’m reconciled.

There’s the empty grave.  Stone is rolled away
He has risen high and He’s there to stay

CHORUS
Jesus Christ my Lord.  Jesus Christ my King
Jesus, Lamb of God took away my sin
Lifted high above any earthly thing
Jesus on the throne for eternity

There’s the empty place where my sin once claimed
I am free from guilt.  I am free from shame

CHORUS

BRIDGE
High above all powers.  High above all things
High above my problems. High above my pains
High above my sorrow.  High above the storms
Jesus Christ has risen.  He is High above

CHORUS

I Saw A Light

I looked up
 in the bleak darkness of the night time sky
 when I can't find my way in the dark
I saw a light
  smaller than a speck of dust
Then I saw another
  and another
  then multitudes on multitudes
Filling the sky like sand fills the beach
   Like water fills the oceans
   Like dirt fills the ground beneath
Flickering, some brighter, some not
  What would be giant masses up close
  Reduced to pinhead by distance 
  Millions of miles away

Then I saw a light
  rising in the Eastern sky
  Large and glorious filling the earth beneath with its light
But it did not produce light
  bur only reflection of light
Bright orange in the horizon
  larger than life
  slowly rising up the dark sky 
  the first lights growing dim
Reaching the pinnacle
  then receding downward
  growing dimmer as it gave in to the day

Then I saw a third light
   Only the rays at first
  Bouncing off the clouds in
  reds, yellows, oranges
  Skimming across the sky
Brighter and brighter 
  Rays upon rays
Then an explosion of light
  brighter than all the others
  so bright it was hard to look at
Filling my eyes
Filling the sky
Larger and larger as it rose up high
All the other lights vanished
Only one remained
Filling the earth with it's glow
Running across the sky
  casting shadows all the day long
Then the light recessed 
  back to the horizon
  again castings glowing colors 
  off the waiting clouds
  until the source of light disappeared behind the horizon
  leaving in its wake wave after wave of brilliant light
Until darkness once again appeared

I saw a light
The Light
The Light brighter than all other lights
The Light that reveals the inward parts
  the inward thoughts and intents 
The Light that penetrates the darkness in my soul
The Light that was from the beginning 
  and will always be
Nothing can hide from this Light
No one cam hide from this Light
This Light never fades
  It never goes out 
  It transcends all other lights
This Light reveals sin 
This Light expels the darkness of the soul
This Light needs no other light
  because there is no other light thar compares
This Light is the Sun
This Light is Jesus.

It Was All For You

It was all for you
When He came to this earth 
As a babe on a manger

It was all for you
When He taught of God's love
And His marvelous kingdom

It was all for you.
When he healed the sick
And caused the lame to walk

It was all for you
When He bestowed His peace
And His joy ran free

It was all for you
When he raised the dead
And opened blinded eyes

It was all for you
When He was beaten and mocked
And He carried that cross

It was all for you
The nails in His Hands
The thorns on His brow
The spear in His side
They were all for you
When he gave up the ghost
And died on the cross

It was all for you
He didn't come for Himself
To be honored and praised
He didn't come just to be
A worldly King
He came for you and me
He didn't seek to be honored
And praised among men
But to die a horrible death
He didn't die as the world would think He did
But He gave up His life for you.
Then He rose again
Leaving death behind
And even that was done for you
So you could one day walk
In that heavenly home
That He has reserved for you.

Come and Draw Near

Hail to the King who came yesterday
Humble and meek laid in the hay
Worshiped by wise men, Shepherds kept guard
Led their by Angels and a bright morning star

Hail to the King who came down from His throne
To be born in a manger.  To be born all alone
The world did not notice.  The world did not care
That the Lord of all Lords was suddenly there

Hail to the King, He was born to die
For my sins and yours God in flesh, now alive
He would walk among men.  He would tell them of love
He would show them the way of the Father above
Then they'd beat him and mock him and send him to death
Yet He would forgive them until His last breath

Hail to the King.  Our salvation is here
Don't get left behind, come and draw near
He cries out to know you.  He knocks at the door
Won't you open your heart so His love can be yours?

It Is Finished

I found myself kneeling before His cross 
I could not explain how I felt
Tears of deep sorrow flowed from my eyes 
Dripping down in the blood where I knelt

I looked up to see my Savior so dear
His body all beaten and red
I cried our "Dear Lord what shall I do"
And He looked down at me and said

It is finished your redemption is paid 
It is finished your sin Is erased 
Don't be sad, do not weep
Keep your heart. Keep my peace
In three days all the world will see
It is finished

I stood up and started to praise him
As He gave up a sorrowful sigh
Then His head bowed and life just left Him
I now knew my Savior had died

As I went to my home, I remembered the words
That He spoke to me from His cross 
Then I fasted and prayed for those few days
Hoping soon I'd get over this loss

Then I heard great commotion outside in the street
Someone running and yelling real loud
He's Alive the kept saying
Over and over
He's alive.  He's alive. He's alive 

It is finished the battle is over
It is finished the victory mine 
Jesus has conquered the grave and death 
It is finished and He is alive
