Instant Every Season (Living in this Moment)

CHORUS: Living in this moment with You, God,

My purpose to be pleasing, Lifting praises I applaud,

My focus and my reason: instant every season! I’m living in this moment with You, God!

1. Anna was a lady, who never left the temple,

God’s will was ever central, she lived to do her part,

A prayer warrior instrumental, a spirit ever gentle, And this was the cry of her heart:

2. Mary brought her baby, God’s plan right from the start,

Anna spoke of Jesus, folks looked to do their part,

Make the focus of your labor, to live within God’s favor, Let this be the cry of your heart:

A Child Will Lead

1. A child was born to show the way, A King returns on judgement day,

You saw our need, And sent Your Son, Salvation’s seed, While we were on the run

You’re Alpha and Omega, the dawn of everything,

This Babe of Bethlehem’s our soon returning King!

 

CHORUS: My soul has been freed, A child’s humility, forgiveness, and truth are what we need,

The lion and lamb together will feed, And there a little child will lead, there a little child will lead!

2. Without hope we had no way, You turned night Into day

Like a desert overflowing with sand, Like the ocean covers the land

You fill all the earth, With Your glory so bright, Raise a banner o’er the nations in majesty and might

For All of Who You Are

INTRO: VOCAL INTERLUDE

VERSE 1: Messiah’s come to earth, Kings and shepherds to His birth,

He heals our hurt, All will one day know His worth,

A star was shining bright, Over Bethlehem that night,

To proclaim what’s right, the Way, the Truth, the Light!

CHORUS: Son of Joseph, Son of Mary, Son of the Most High, You are

Alpha and Omega, Bright and Morning Star, Lord we worship You for All of who you are

We worship You for all of who You are!!! (VOCAL INTERLUDE)

VERSE 2: God sent down His Son, His precious Holy One, He died for His own, rejected and alone,

He came to fill our lives with harmony and love, ‘Til His kingdom arrives, from heaven above!!!

(VOCAL INTERLUDE)

I Will Give Him My Heart

1. For thousands of years, The world watched for His star,

We prayed through our tears, Wise men came from afar

‘Mid oxen and hay,They worshipped that day, Wise men still worship and seek Him today!

CHORUS: I’ve no earthly thing, No treasure so sweet, What gift can I bring to lay at His

feet?

For this child who will lead through this dark lonely night,

And with innocense plead, to restore in God’s sight?

2. Who’ll rescue your heart, When your love has grown cold?

From this world don’t depart, bitter and old. Where do I start, What course do I chart?

My humble part, I will give Him my heart!

Hold Onto Your Words

1. To a small sleepy town of Nazareth, The angel Gabriel came,

In a glorious light he foretold of a child, Christ Jesus the king to be named:

“He’ll be called the son of the highest, Our Lord Emmanuel, and He shall be king for eternity,”

Mary said, “I don’t see how this can be, but

CHORUS: I’ll hold onto your words in my heart, Until heaven and earth pass away,

I don’t understand, but I’ll trust in your plan and I’ll hold onto your words in my heart.”

2. Simeon came by the spirit, Into the temple that day, As he gazed in the face of the holy child,

 

He lifted his hands up to say, “Mine eyes have seen God’s salvation, The glorious light of

mankind!

This boy shall bring joy, but a sword through your heart,”

Mary said,“I don’t know how this can be, but

3. Then on one dark day it happened, The light of life was snuffed out,

His blood was shed for this sinful world, And those words long ago were fulfilled

As the nails drove deep in his hands, To hold him up there on that cross

A sword seemed to pass through Mary’s heart, she said, “I don’t know why this must be, but

4. Many years passed now since that babe was born, and since Jesus suffered and died

Christmases come and they quickly go, But there’s one thing that I’ll always know

The most precious gift ever on a tree, Was when Jesus hung there for me,

I said, “Jesus, I’ll trust you no matter what comes! With your blood you bought heaven for me!”

And,

LAST CHORUS WITH TAG: CHORUS: I’ll hold onto your words in my heart,

Until heaven and earth pass away, I don’t understand, but I’ll trust in your plan and I’ll hold onto

your words, Hold onto your words, Hold on, to your words, in my heart.”

Make Room

1. Bethlehem was filled, Best Western was all billed, All full at the Sheraton,

Not a bunk at the Holiday Inn, Motel 6’s beds were gone, but God left the Light on,

And from a stable came great joy, Where Mary birthed her boy,

2. “No room in my life, I’ve got kids and a wife, I’m following the mob,

Got a house and important job, Can’t you see that I’m so busy and I couldn’t possibly…”

But from a stable came great joy, Where Mary birthed her boy,

PRE-CHORUS: There was no room at the inn, for Jesus to begin,

Just a stable full of straw for a baby and His ma, Is your calendar so tight?

You think your life going right? Is there no room in your heart, for God’s kingdom to start?

CHORUS: Make room in your heart for God, Make room for God,

Make room in your heart for God, Make room for God!

3. If Jesus came today, For a place in your heart to stay, Do you have a spot for Him?

Is your hospitality slim? Do you think about Him now, would you give a thought to how?

From a stable came great joy, Where Mary birthed her boy

No One Greater

1. You left heaven to come to this earth, Gave your crown for a stable birth,

Once for all you were born to die, Ever so humbly in a manger to lie,

The hope of ages lying in straw, The shepherd’s faces overcome with awe

Once for all you were born to die, Ever so humbly in a manger to lie

CHORUS: There’s no one greater, Than our creator, There’s no one greater, Than our creator,

There’s no one greater, No one greater, There’s no one greater, Than our creator,

There’s no one greater, No one at all!

2. A shining star in the heavens so bright, As God showed mercy to this world that night

In our hearts new hope and light This tiny heartbeat makes our soul complete!

How’d we deserve His act of grace? So much love in this baby’s face!

Little hands and delicate feet, This tiny heartbeat makes our soul complete!

Peace On Earth

1. Angels proclaimed a heavenly call, Fear Not! Good news! Great joy to us all!

Today God’s love on you is outpoured, Our Savior has come who is Christ the Lord!!

CHORUS: Let there be Peace on earth, Good will to men, Glory to God, In the highest!

Glory, Glory, Glory to God, In the highest!

2. I’ll watch for Your star, No matter how far, Or how high the bar, Wherever You are,

Today God’s love on us is outpoured, My Savior has come who is Christ the Lord!! (Chorus 2x)

Who Could Have Dreamed?

1. Who could have dreamed…What was prophesied of Mary, That a virgin should conceive;

What the angel said to Joseph, This child would be God’s son? Who could have dreamed, Who

could have dreamed?

2. Who could have dreamed…That night shepherds would leave sheep,

When they heard the angels sing; To see a thousand years of promises, In a tiny infant king?

Who could have dreamed, Who could have dreamed?

 

3. Who could have dreamed…That those wise men from the east

Would come following a star, That they’d bring him priceless treasures, But he would give them

more…

CHORUS: He gave up his crown, he gave up his throne, He gave up heaven, to make us his

own!

He gave us his life, he gave us his love, He gave his blood to save our souls,

Who could have dreamed, Who could have dreamed?

You Spared Nothing

1. You sent an angel down with a propecy for Mary, A dream for Joseph when he was lost and

angry,

A sky full of angels for the herders’ peace of mind, And You led them to the Shepherd of

Mankind,

2. Your set a shining star to surely lead the wise men, A dream to guide them securely to their

home again

You Came in fullness of the time for everyone, And You’ll come back when our time on earth is done

CHORUS: You gave Your all to help us follow, You gave Your all, So we’d feel Your favor flow,

You spared nothing coming as a baby, You spared nothing dying on a cross!

My Life is in Your Hands

VERSE: Lord, in the comfort of Your wings, And in Your shade my spirit clings,

Lord, You are my sheltering nest, My God in whom I trust and rest, 

And I won’t fear what evil comes by night, Or if the Devil’s there today to fight, 

Beside me falls a thousand, And ten thousand at my right hand, 

CHORUS: But it won’t come near me, No, it won’t come near me, 

You’re my hope passing through these lands, My life is in Your hands!

 

The Place Where I'm Made Whole Again

VERSE: I open up my eyes, Lord as I arise, to greet the day, 

I open up your Word, For whispered wisdom there I’ve heard, As I learn Your way, 

Lord I’m singing you this song, while the angels sing along, My hands I raise, 

Lord open up my heart, to give You praise!! 

CHORUS: For You are worthy! Lord You are worthy! 

You’ve been beside me, to guide me, For all my story, You’re my glory! 

For You are worthy! Lord You’re worthy! Lifting hands I begin, 

Lord, Your praise has brought me in To the place where I’m made whole again!

 

Like an Eagle

VERSE: I hope in You, In all I  do, You’ll see me through, My strength renew,  

I will soar like an eagle, I will run and not grow weary, I will walk and not faint, 

CHORUS: He gives me understanding when I ask Him, Wisdom, peace and strength when I am weak,

Power to my spirit when I’m weary, I will soar, like an  eagle, Soar on wings, like an eagle

 

Holding On To You

VERSE 1:
I’m holding on to you, I’m holding on to you
I’m holding, holding on to you, to you,
In my heart I know Your word is true, I’ll still hold on, though I’m feeling blue, For it’s only you, only you,
It’s only you, will see me through!


CHORUS:
Lord You are my Comforter, I won’t go on without You, I’m holding on and I won’t let go, Holding on for Your blessings Lord, Lord You are my Comforter, I won’t go on without You, I’m holding on and I won’t let go, Holding on for Your blessings Lord,

VERSE 2:
I want a new life in You, I want a new life in You,
I want a new life, a brand new life in You, in You,
I’m using all, you’ve given me, To open doors of ministry, It’s only You, only You, Only You, will see me through! CHORUS & TAG: For it’s only You, only You, [slowly]

Only You will see, me through! 

 

Fairest of 10,000

VERSE 1: If I dance before the Lord, Would you dance with me?

If I sing unto the Lord, Would you sing in harmony? He holds me in His hand, 

He sees all that I can be,The heavens fill with praise, Your glory fills the earth! 

CHORUS: You’re everything, EVERYTHING,  my all, MY ALL IN ALL, 

You’re the fairest of 10,000, And You’re everything to me! 

You’re everything, EVERYTHING,  my all, MY ALL IN ALL, 

You’re the fairest of 10,000, And You’re everything to me!

VERSE 2: Jesus died to set me free, He knows what He has planned, 

When I walk by faith I’ll see, He leads me to my promised land, 

When you hear a joyful chord, Would you let your voice ring free?  

The heavens fill with praise, Your glory fills the earth

 

My God Will See Me Through

VERSE: How do I count the ways, You have brought me through?

Can I number all the days, You came to my rescue?

You’re my help in ages past, My hope when I am blue,

My shelter from the stormy blast, You’re my God who sees me through! REPEAT

CHORUS: When my God is on my side, Who can be against me?

When my God is on my side, Who can be against me?

I don’t care what the devil may do, I know my God will  see me through!

I don’t care what the devil may do, I know my God will see me through!

 

I Am Complete in Him

CHORUS: I am complete in Him, I am complete in Him, 

He set me free, when He died on that tree, The captives of sin are set free,

Now I am complete in Him, I am complete in Him!

VERSE: With His hands stretched out wide on that tree, 

He looked down through the ages and saw me, His blood held the key, my soul to set free,

He drank bitter wine of judgement for me, What can I say, I can never repay.

The love that he showed to me that day

Soldier On

VERSE: Dad loved God and this country, He loved my momma too,

We learned ’bout freedom, as we watched him fight in ‘Nam,

And as he waved that flag with pride!

CHORUS: Soldier on, soldier on, There’s still a battle to be won,

Ther’ll be time for restin’, when this life is done,

But until then, soldier on!

2. He passed on in just a moment, But like a dandelion in bloom, He sent out, Winged seed warriors,

Into a gust of summer wind, That bring me hope in times of need   CHORUS

So it’s time to bite the bullet, and fall right into line, Rise up to the challenge, For this is your time!

We send out, Winged seed warriors, Into a gust of summer wind, For our loved ones’ times of need 

 

Take a Stand

CHORUS: Take a stand for what’s right, Take a stand in the night,

Walk by faith not by sight, ‘Til the mornin’ light, 

Take a stand for what’s right, Take a stand in the night

Walk by faith not by sight, ‘Til the mornin’ light, Take a stand, Take a stand, Take a stand

BRIDGE: If you don’t stand for something, You’ll sit still for anything, Whatever trouble life may bring,           

Listen for God’s voice, Soon He’ll cause you to rejoice,

As your footsteps follow in His plan, Let your footsteps follow in His plan!

 

You're My Builder

I want to serve You, In all I do and say

CHORUS:

Except the Lord build the house, They that labor, labor in vain,

Let's Squeeze Some Daylight from this Rainy Day

1. Let me tell you what the people say,”To plan your future is a virtue rare,

“So save your money for that rainy day!” It’s always raining somewhere!

2. All my life’s been livin’ hand to mouth, With mouths to feed and lots of bills to pay,

Sometimes it feels like things have headed south, Let’s squeeze some daylight from this rainy day!

CHORUS: Let’s squeeze some daylight from this rainy day,All too soon our time will pass away,

We’re now pushing old and gray,Let’s squeeze some daylight from this rainy day!!

3. When I get discouraged and I feel alone,There’s One in heaven loves me like no other,

I’ll conquer problems that I’ve never known, I’ve got a friend that’s closer than a brother,

Pass away,We are already pushing old and gray,Let’s squeeze some daylight from this rainy day!!

INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS, BRIDGE, VERSE 3, REPEAT CHORUS 2X

Faith

God is faithful in all of His provision, But the Almighty has His own hourglass!           

CHORUS: God is faithful, faithful to the faithful, every word said, When we ask for bread, 

He is faithful, faithful to the faithful, You can believe Him for everything you need!

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE, REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 2: Father God spoke His Word to form this world, From what’s unseen, 

Everything that’s seen, In all the universe unfurled, We’re new creation, We’re not who we have been,

Where there’s NO FAITH, We cannot please our Lord, God is SOVEREIGN, He’s Ruler over all, 

Guide my footsteps, to paths the saints explored, Saying “YES, LORD!” in answer to God’s call!

TAG: “YES, LORD!” in answer to God’s call! “YES, LORD!” in answer to God’s call!

 

Lord I've Come Home to You (Inspired by Luke 15.11-32)

1. I’ve been away too long, and journeyed far from home, I tried to do life my way,
But nothing turned out right, I wasted all You gave me ’til soon I came up empty,
Then I remembered, that I still had a home!


2. When I arise and go, back to my Father’s house, My Father runs to meet me,
And says to me with love, “There’s bread upon the table, I’ve killed the fatted calf,
Let’s sing and dance for my son now lives again!”


CHORUS:
Lord I’ve come home to You, Your robe now covers me! Your ring empowers me,
I have Your shoes upon my feet! And now I walk with You and celebrate our love,
Oh Hallelujah, I have come home to You!


3. I never more will roam, this world is not my home, God’s resurrecting power, fills me every hour,
He’s everything to me, my love, my liberty, I’ll sing and dance for my Jesus lives in me!


4. How grand it is to feel, Your holy robe on me, You’ve placed Your ring upon me,
The seal of your great power,I want to walk where You walk, my feet in Bible shoes,
Lord, stomp the Devil, if he gets in my way!

I Will Give You Thanks

VERSE: You give the rain upon the earth, You give the flowers in the spring, You breathed life in us at birth, You give the birds a song to sing! Before the God of all creation, And the Lord of every nation,

There’s nothing worthy I can bring,But love and service to my King! All that I have belongs to You, 

All that I touch, and all I see, Any good that I can do, Flows from the love You gave to me!

CHORUS: I will give You thanks! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus! I will worship You! I will worship! Lord I’ll worship! I will give You praise! Praise you Jesus! Praise you Jesus

I’ll love and honor You! Lord, I will  give You thanks!

 

Warriors of the Light

CHORUS: We are warriors of the light, We stand for Jesus and what’s right,

And  in our hearts His anthem rings, We sing His praises in all things,

And we are not afraid to fight, As His  warriors of the light, Giving glory to our Jesus, King of Kings!

VERSE: We all know the Devil’s ploy, He comes to steal, kill, and destroy,

But we must boldly stand our ground, Then our war cry we will sound,

Oh, let us claim Christ’s victory, Together, set His people free, 

As we spread the love of Jesus all around! CHORUS, INSTRUMENTAL,

OUTRO: We are warriors of the light, We are warriors!
