Peaceful

Surrender Song - 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

–Lyrics–

1.
This is your wake-up call to come and serve the Lord!
Casting the world aside, come in and worship.
Open your heart and mind to share the living word.
Come and worship, worship the King!

2.
Gathered together now, we come to serve You, Lord!
Laying our burdens down, we come to worship.
Growing in love, we vow to praise You more and more!
We will worship, worship the King.
Come and worship, worship the King!

Wake Up Call - Haden A. Ayers

Come to the Water - Jason Coon

–Lyrics–

1.
We didn't see You when You came
Into this world of sin and death;
We didn't see You live in shame
In that despised Nazareth;
But we believe You walked upon
This earth You made, O Son of God.
Yes, we believe You walked upon
This earth You made, O Son of God.

2.
We didn't see You lifted high
Amid that wild and savage crew;
We didn't hear You when You cried,
"Forgive, they know not what they do!"
But we believe the work was done
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.
Yes, we believe the work was done
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.

3.
We didn't see the open tomb
Where once Your mangled body lay;
We didn't see the "upper room"
Or meet You walking on the way;
But we believe that angels said,
"Why seek the Living with the dead?"
Yes, we believe that angels said,
"Why seek the Living with the dead?"

4.
We weren't among the chosen few
Who saw You from the earth ascend;
Who raised to heav'n their wond'ring view,
Then low to earth in worship bent;
But we believe that human eyes
Beheld that journey to the skies. 
Yes, we believe that human eyes
Beheld that journey to the skies.

CODA.
Amen, amen, (3x)
We have not seen, but we believe!
