1.
There’s a place of quiet stillness
‘Tween the light and shadow’s reach
Where the hurting and the hopeless
Find everlasting peace.
Words of men and songs of angels
Whisper comfort bittersweet;
Mending grief and life eternal
Where joy and sorrow meet.

CHORUS.
There is a place where hope remains
In crowns of thorns and crimson stains
And tears that fall on Jesus’ feet,
Where joy and sorrow meet.

2.
There’s a place the lost surrender
And the weary will retreat
Full of grace and mercy tender
In times of unbelief.
For the wounded there is healing
Strength is given to the weak
Broken hearts find love redeeming
Where joy and sorrow meet

3.
There’s a place of thirst and hunger
Where the roots of faith grow deep
There is rain and rolling thunder
Where roads are rough and steep
There is hope in desperation
There is victory in defeat
At the cross of restoration
Where joy and sorrow meet

Where Joy And Sorrow Meet - David James White (Arr. Haden A. Ayers)

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

Thomas' Song - Ken Young

Lyrics:

v1
I'm ready to go home
and leave behind my pains and woes
to say goodbye, fly to the sky,
I know it's time to go.

It's hard to say goodbye
to all the loved ones that I've known,
but Jesus waits for me at the gate.
I'm ready to go home.

v2
I'm ready to go home.
I want to see Your loving face,
to bow my knee, fall at Your feet,
and give you endless praise.

I want to see you, Lord,
and thank You for Your love for me,
for grace so free, for Calvary.
I'm ready to go home.

v3
I'm ready to go home
and rest within Your warm embrace
that wipes my tears, that calms my fears,
and takes sorrow away.

I want to feel Your joy
and see my loved ones gone before
and with them praise You through endless days.
I'm ready to go home.

I'm ready to go home.
