Christian A Cappella - Andrew Martin

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) - Arr. Andrew Martin

Surrender Song - Haden A. Ayers

For my great grandparents, Vance and Oleta.

Lyrics:

1.
When softly loosed are silver lines
And youthful days are gone,
My soul will gaze out over the pines
And Jesus will take me home.

My soul will never grow old;
My vessel will be made to hold.
My Lord, I long for that land o'er the pines
Where waiteth my heavenly home.

2.
My brother, what else shall we bring?
For flowers, fading, fall.
My Father, take this life from me
Unto Thy trumpet call.

My soul will never grow old;
My vessel will be made to hold.
My Lord, I long for that land o'er the pines,
But I cannot stand alone–
O Risen, please carry me home.

O Risen, Take Me Home - Haden A. Ayers

–Lyrics–

1.
You fill my heart with songs to sing,
I give it back in praise.
With every breath You give to me,
I give it back in praise. 
You are my Joy, You are my Peace,
I give it back in praise.
My Purpose and my Destiny,
I give it back in praise.
How can I ever repay?

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

2.
You fill my soul with life anew,
I give it back in praise.
And all my darkness runs from You,
I give it back in praise. 
You are my Fortress, safe from sin,
I give it back in praise.
Your kingdom overcomes again,
I give it back in praise.
How can I ever repay?

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

BRIDGE.
God, I fall before You,
I worship and adore You,
I’ve nothing for You but praise
(2x)

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

I Give It Back In Praise - Haden A. Ayers

Come to the Water - Jason Coon

Blessed is the man (original)

Lord Keep My Heart

–Lyrics–

1.
My trouble comes like a raging sea;
Out on the water You stand.
Although the storm is surrounding me,
You're reaching out Your hand.

2.
My ship is sinking in doubt so deep,
My faith is tossed in the waves
When, through the thunder, I hear You speak:
"My child, be not afraid."

CHORUS.
No matter how deep You will call me,
I will follow,
I will follow on.
When my feet get to sinking,
I'll be clinging
To Your reaching arm.
Where You lead me, God, 
I will follow on.

3.
I'm stepping out on the water, God.
I'll put my trust in Your will.
I'll leave this shipwreck, I'll follow on;
You call me deeper, still.

Where You Lead Me (Peter's Song) - Haden A. Ayers

Lord's Prayer - Glenn Sulley, Arr. Haden A. Ayers

–Lyrics–

1.
We’re lost in this world of great pain and woe,
Where Satan’s pow’r only seems to grow,
But we know that there is a place of rest,
For God has sent His very best.

2.
We’ll sing of Your grace ‘til Your Son returns.
We pray to You; help our hearts to learn
Of what You have done and what You’ve forgiv’n
That we might see You someday in heav’n.

CHORUS.
Over sickness and pain, over fear, over hate,
Over every burden, even when they seem great.
Over Satan’s best plans, o’er the pow’r of the grave,
Over all that this world may throw our way.
You claim victory, dear Lord, for me.

CODA.
We claim victory, dear Lord, through Thee.

Victory - Jason Coon & Kelan Owen

–Lyrics–

1.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Homes where the Scripture is planted and learned,
Homes filled with mercy and lead by Your Word,
Homes where Your Spirit endures.

2.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the fathers and help them lead on;
May they be present, consistent, and strong,
Shielding their families from wrong.

3.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the mothers and help them to love;
May they be robed in good works from above,
Showing the power of your blood.

4.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the children and help them to grow;
Teach them the fruits of Your Spirit to show,
Keeping them safe from the foe.

Lord, give us Christian homes!

Lord, Give Us Christian Homes - Haden A. Ayers

Like An Only Child - Ivan Costa

Lyrics:

v1
God of all, hear my cry!
I am thankful for the blessings
That You bestowed to me.
Creation sings the song of life.
Lord, hear us sing!

Thank You for all the freedoms
And the joys of daily life
Thank You, Lord, for the precious gift,
Of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

v2
God of all, hear my cry!
There are many who are sick
In spirit and in mind.
Please, pull them from Satan’s shadows,
No longer to be blind.

The ill in health and the poor in wealth,
Need your gentle, helping hand.
Lord, please heal them and help them face,
This sinful land.

v3
God of all, hear my cry!
Lord, I fear the flame is low,
That once lit my heart aflame.
I am hurting from my sin.
Lord, I call on Your name!

Please, hold me in your warm embrace;
Guide me through this world of stress.
Heat my heart to ignite again.
Fill me with Your righteousness!

Chorus
God of all, hear my cry!
Let these things be done,
By Your will, not mine.
Please, forgive these sins in my life.
Thank You for Jesus Christ.

All these things, I humbly pray,
In Jesus’ holy name.
Amen.

God Of All, Hear My Cry! - Andrew Martin & Austin Jones

Lyrics:

v1
God’s heights are far greater than all of our lows.
His word, it protects us against Satan’s blows.
Though we may have struggles facing such a foe,
God is always with us; no question, we know!

v2
Our Heavenly Father, the Spirit, the Son,
Salvation completed, the victr’y’s been won.
So much He’s accomplished, so much He has done.
Where e’re this life takes me, to You I will run.

v3
Our Savior, Messiah, and our Brother too.
When we keep His commands, His love makes us new.
So, abide in His word, He’ll abide in you,
And joy for the journey can be yours, it’s true!

Bridge
To rejoice is a choice, so friend follow His way.
The path that is narrow, that’s where you must stay!

Chorus
I have joy for the journey, I have peace in my soul
I have faith in my Savior while the ages shall roll.
I know that He’s returning to take me to my home.
I have joy for the journey, no matter where I roam.

Joy For The Journey - Andrew Martin & John Harding

Lyrics:

v1
With voices of joy, we sing praise to the King!
Oh, friend, lend me an ear, hear the news that we bring.
God loved us so much that He gave us His Son,
Who died and rose; for us, the vict’ry He won!

v2
With hearts full of love, we show thanks to the Lord!
He inspired the writers who gave us His Word.
That Word speaks so loud and it shows us the way,
So we may follow and be with Him that day!

v3
With voices so soft, we lift prayers to our God.
We plead for forgiveness, His mercy, and love.
We thank Him for blessing our small, earthly lives.
With one voice, shouting, “Praise His name up on high!”

Chorus
Our praise be to God! He is our great escape.
He shields us from sin and the venom of the snake.
He could have brought His wrath, but He held it in its place.
That’s why we sing His praise!

Why We Sing - Andrew Martin & Austin Jones

Lyrics:

v1
In the shadows of all my faults,
Oh Lord, from You I stray.
I am lost within the echoes
Of all my own dismay.
Though, unworthy of Your favor,
You shower me with grace.
In Your boundless love, I find my home awaits

v2
Though I’m unworthy of You, Lord,
You see beyond my flaws.
Your love, perfect in beauty
Can break through all my walls.
In the tenderest voice of mercy,
Lord, You call me by my name,
Lifting me from my sorrow and my shame.

v3
Throughout all trials that I face,
And every tear I cry,
You hold me ever near You,
And never pass me by.
In Your boundlessness of mercy,
Lord, my heart can find its song,
For within Your love, I know where I belong.

Chorus
I’m unworthy of Your grace.
I’m unworthy of Your face.
Though I’m so unworthy, Lord,
You came down to set me free.
I’m unworthy of Your grace.

What A Savior

Out Of The Darkness

O Worship The King

Praise Him! Praise Him!

-Lyrics-

1.
I will rise in rejoicing,
I will rise and repent
Because He called my name!
I will rise from the water
And be cleansed from within.
Oh, when He calls for me, I will rise!

2.
I will rise for the Savior,
I will rise for the Lord
Because He called me name!
I will rise with the Spirit
To rebuild and restore.
Oh, when He calls for me, I will rise!

3.
Then I'll rise in the morning
From that old dusty grave
Because He called my name!
And I'll rise to the Heavens
On the promise He gave.
Oh, when He calls for me, I will rise!

CHORUS
I will rise, I will rise,
I will rise when He calls for me!
I will rise, I will rise,
I will rise when He calls for me.
