Good News of Joy
Be not afraid
Be not afraid
Turn in your terror for reverent awe
Be not afraid
Chorus:
This is the good news of joy
This is the good news of joy
This is the good news of great joy for everyone
Good news for everyone
This day is born
This day is born
In David's city your Savior is born
To you is born
CHORUS
Glory, Sang the Angels
Chorus:
Glory, sang the angels,
To God in the heavenly heights
And peace on earth to all those
In whom God delights
In whom God delights!
There they sat in the darkness
Watching over the flocks
Suddenly they were blinded
By reverence and shock
A messenger of the Lord appeared,
With God's own glory ablaze
I bring you good news, so don't be afraid!
Behold Your God
Glowing clouds of lightning
Quakes of mighty thunder
Our souls expand for what is grand,
To grow with awe and wonder
Varieties of plant and beast
And stars beyond all measure,
Every atom in the universe
Continues at God's pleasure
Chorus:
Behold Your God
Bow and worship
Throw down your crowns
Prostrate at His feet
Rejoice with all creation
He is Lord above all nations
His beauty, pow'r and justice are your song
Behold your God
Wow, Hallelujah (Christmas)
Those who walk in darkness will see a great light
Grace and justice meet; love and truth will unite
Every hope and joy meet in this Child tonight;
Waves of great relief swirl with awe and delight
Refrain:
Wow, hallelujah
Wow, hallelujah
Wow, hallelujah
The King is born!
Powerless, we see in the Lord our true hope
Yet the years pile up since the Almighty spoke
Trust in Him; the fullness of time will unfold
Wait and wait again, He is patient, not slow
Psalm 99
Praise His great and awesome name; Holy is He
A lover of justice, the mighty King established equity
Righteousness and justice in Jacob He has achieved
Exalt the Lord our God, worship at His feet; Holy is He
Chorus:
The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble
He is enthroned above the cherubim
Let the earth shake! God is great in Zion
Over all the nations exalt Him
Psalm 98
Chorus:
Sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord a new song
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
For He has done wonderful, wonderful things
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
His right hand and holy arm have won
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
The vict'ry of salvation for Him
(sing to the Lord, sing to the Lord)
The Lord has shown His salvation,
Revealed His righteousness to all the nations
Rememb'ring His faithful love and cov'nant with Israel
Every nation and tribe
Has seen the vict’ry of the Lord of life
So break forth in joyful shouts and songs, all you people
Psalm 96
Chorus:
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice!
Let the sea and its creatures raise a thunderous voice!
Let the forests and fields sing a song of delight
For the Lord is coming to set all things right
Sing to the Lord a new song
Sing to the Lord all the earth, bless His name
Shout His good news of salvation
Tell of His glory to all every day
Every nation hungers and needs
To hear of all His wonderful deeds!
Psalm 95
Chorus:
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord
Let us joyfully shout to the Rock who saves us
Let us come before Him with thanksgiving,
Shouting joyfully to Him with psalms
For the Lord is a great God,
And a great King above all Gods
In His hands are the depths of the earth,
Peaks and mountains so glorious and grand
His the oceans, created and owned,
He fashioned and formed the dry land
Every Word of Our Praise (Ps 71/1 Cor 13)
When we're born, You sustain us
And at the start of each day
Morning turns into evening
And You have not gone away
And when the enemy rises against us
As we know it will every day
You show us, Lord, Your comforting greatness
You deserve every word of our praise
You deserve every word of our praise
If we speak like angels
Or in all languages pray
But we don't love like You, Lord,
We're just a din on display
Without You, Lord, we're a pointless noise
But in You we sing new songs every day
You protect us, so Lord we rejoice
You deserve every word of our praise
You deserve every word of our praise
All Who Call
“In the last days,” says the Lord,
“I will pour out my Spirit
On all humankind,
And your sons and daughters
Will prophesy.
The young will see visions,
The old will dream dreams,
The men and the women
Who serve Me shall see;
In the last days,” says the Lord,
“I will pour out My Spirit,
And they’ll prophesy.”
Chorus:
And all who call on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.
And all who call on the name of the Lord
Shall be saved.
Give Glory (SoTM 2)
Chorus:
Let your light shine around you
That all those who see you
Will see your good works
But sing praise
And give glory
And give glory
To your Father, your Father in heaven
You are the salt of the earth,
But if salt has no flavor, what then?
The saltiness will not return
It'll be thrown out and trampled by men
Little Child, Arise
Little child, arise
Little child, arise
There is a Hand that’s reaching out for you
Little child, arise
Little child, arise
And hear the Shepherd’s voice ring out
So if you know His voice, sing out!
Chorus:
Blessing and glory,
Wisdom, thanksgiving,
Honor and power and might
Be to our God
Forever and ever;
With heaven we sing day and night
Make Straight the Way
Chorus:
Make straight the way
Make straight the way
Make straight the way for the Lord
John Baptizer preaching at the Jordan River
“Repent and rise and all your sins will be forgiven
Turn towards God, and from your evil ways."
Religious bigwigs asking “Who you think you are
Messiah, Elijah, a prophet even more bizarre
What do you do to fill up your desert days?
Glory, Hallelujah
When our time on Earth is over, and we say goodbye to this life
We'll wake up to meet our Maker and receive our reward
In an instant of perfect vision, we'll see where we wasted our time
In all that we built without waiting on the Lord
Chorus:
Everything falls, everything fails
Except for the One whom the angels hail, crying...
Glory, glory, hallelujah
The Lord in heaven is laughing
The plans of the politicians are visions in vain
Don't put your hope in the things that won't last
Build on the One who is worthy, singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Sing a New Song
We are walking in the deep, deep dark
Stagger suddenly beneath this weight
Has the future ever seemed so stark?
Have you ever felt your heart so ache?
But the light that flows into these shadowlands
Only the passion of God could create
He will lift off your burden to let you stand
This is the peace for which we wait
Chorus:
Wake up, wake up, and sing a new song
Glory to God, here comes the True Dawn
Wake up, wake up, and sing a new song
I Have Seen Him / He’s Risen
I didn’t have to touch Him,
I didn’t have to prove;
His eyes were full of comfort,
His voice able to soothe
No one could make me think it wasn’t true,
For I have seen Him, I have seen Him.
He is your Lord, and my Lord, yes, our Lord,
And though we have not seen Him,
Still we believe; we will believe
For the prophets and Moses, they testified
To all that we have seen,
And so we believe;
We choose to believe
Kaleidoscope of Living (Psalm 104)
In the silence of the sunrise,
The birds begin their song;
The foundations of the world
Are hidden in the fog
You make the clouds Your chariot,
You make the wind Your messenger
You stretch the heavens like a tent;
How wise and many are Your works
Chorus:
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live,
The Master of the mountains is the Father who forgives
The hand of the Creator has filled the earth and sea,
The kaleidoscope of living, surrounding me
