All I Want - Acoustic (Martin Harder feat. Elisabeth Harder)

nothing sweeter than your presence
nothing brighter than your light
nothing more beautiful

you lift the broken, heal the blind
your love unending, pure and kind
nothing more beautiful

I will exalt you
I will exalt you
I will exalt you
king of the heavens

Nothing more beautiful - Elisabeth Harder

A song about the inexplainable, yet so tangible longing for a place that I've never seen or been to.

In the house of my father there are many rooms
And once I get there, there'll be one for me too
In the house of my father tears are washed away 
The days are filled with laughter 
And the night's as bright as the day
In the house of my father I'm welcomed and at rest
And the ghosts that haunt me now
Will meet their final death
In the house of my father I'll meet him face to face
And all these earthly uncertainties will forever be erased

Many rooms - Elisabeth Harder

Prodigals

We've not gone far, but faster than we should have
We traded shame for our innocence, a bowl of soup for our inheritance. We're taking too many bites of forbidden fruits, and we return to you - oh, we return to you.

We're the prodigal sons and daughters, our hatred kills our brothers. And when the rooster crows three times, oh, we deny your name.
We need to be washed with heaven's waters and remember the wounds that healed us. 
Our sin runs deeper than before. But your arms are wider than before.

One after the other we wake up and we recover,
and with heavy hearts we make our way back home.
But halfway there you meet us, you embrace and you forgive us.
The ones who've been dead are dead no more .

Prodigals - Elisabeth Harder


Your peace, overwhelming, without flaws
I am restless, I am lost 
I need you so

Your love, sacrificial, unrelenting 
Mine is weak and always lacking
I need you so

[: Holy fire burn, burn, burn away :]
All the things that hinder your work in me

Your spirit, all-consuming and unraveling
All my cups are overflowing
I need you so

Holy fire burn - Elisabeth Harder

Lyrics

You are close to the broken-hearted, please be close to me.
You're a companion to the lost and lonely, walk with me.
You're a father to the orphan, please, please be mine.
Abba, father have my life, have my all.

Outshine the darkness, outshine the darkness
I am tired and hopeless, without you, without you
Outshine the darkness, outshine the darkness
I lose sight of my saviour, too fast, too soon.

A father to the orphan - Elisabeth Harder

He has covered up my shame
I don't have to fear the sight of my accusers
I'm dressed in righteousness and grace
And my sin he has taken away

From dusk till dawn my song will rise to you
In my mourning or rejoicing, I will praise you

I am blameless in your sight, you have turned my wrong to right
And my worth is found in your name

Dusk till dawn - Elisabeth Harder

Lyrics

The wasteland carries water

Why should you be beaten anymore?
Why do you persist in rebellion?
Your whole head is injured and 
your bruises they won't heal

But with him there is life
And with him there is freedom
his tender touch brings healing
and the wasteland carries water

There's no fear in his perfect love
let down your guard, you've been hiding enough
bring your nothing, gain his everything 
trade your sackcloth for garments of praise

The shepherd's searching for his sheep
A father's waiting for his son
Jesus rising from the dead
It is finished, it is finished 
Once and for all

Isaiah 1,5+18
Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted.

"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.



The wasteland carries water - Elisabeth Harder

Hands that are stained - Elisabeth Harder

Lyrics by Sarah F. Adams, 1841

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God, to Thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest,
There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest;
Age after age to be nearer, my God, to Thee.

Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Lyrics below

Hem me in, hem me in
as daylight flees and my courage, as well
My faith unsteady, and my voice is trembling,
I come broken, yet complete

Hem me in, hem me in
like a mother puts her child to sleep
there's no fear, no harm can find me here
and when I awake I am still with you

And I believe, you're the God who sees,
you're the God who heals,
you're the God who restores, even me, even me
I believe, you'll restore even me

Where can I go, where your spirit won't find me?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there
If I make my bed in the depths, you are there
you are there

Hem me in - Elisabeth Harder

Oh to know that you are the answer to every question I could ask
Oh to know that I can run all my life, but I cannot outrun your love
Oh to know that you came to be with me, when I can't even stand myself
That you will not get tired of me or leave me without help

Immanuel, in you I've made my home
You're my light and comfort, I am not alone

To you Lord I called in days of trouble, when the locusts came
You bent down, you rescued me out of sin and unbelief
You covered up my nakedness, you restored me to life
Oh God, I owe you everything. Who am I that you'd remember me?

Immanuel, in you I've made my home
You're my light and comfort, I am not alone

And I fear no evil, for my soul is hidden with you
And the years that the locusts have eaten, you restore, you make all things new.

Oh to know, you are the answer
Oh to know, you are the answer
Oh to know,my God, that you are the answer to every question I could ask.

A song for days of trouble - Elisabeth Harder

There is a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Immanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains 3x
And sinners plunged beneath that flood 
lose all their guilty stains

Dear dying lamb thy precious blood 
shall never lose its power 
Till all the ransomed church of God 
be saved to sin no more 3x
Till all the ransomed church of God 
be saved to sin no more

E'er since by faith I saw the stream 
thy flowing wounds supply 
Redeeming love has been my theme 
And shall be till I die 3x
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die

Orig. William Cowper, 1772

There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood

Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 
Psalm 63:3

Lyrics 
You have met me at my darkest
And you raised me at my lowest
Father God I need your guidance
In this waiting give me patience

I believe x2
That you have not forgotten about me 
 
'Cause your love is better than life
I will praise you until the day I die
Jesus, Jesus draw near
In your perfect love I have no fear
I have no fear

And I know your plan is perfect
But I feel so undeserving
I trust you have my best in mind 
There's no greater love that I could find 

I believe x2
That you have not forgotten about me

Chorus

Better than life - Elisabeth Harder

Lyrics

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love and pow’r.

I will arise and go to Jesus 3x 
He will embrace me in His arms;
In the arms of my dear Savior,
Oh, there are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome,
God’s free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.

Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you’re better,
You will never come at all.

Orig. by Joseph Hart (1759)

Come ye sinners

Lyrics: Robert Lowry
Music: Elisabeth Harder

My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth's lamentation
I hear the sweet though far-off hymn
That hails a new creation:
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul-
How can I keep from singing?

What though my joys and comforts die!
The Lord, my Saviour lives 
What though the darkness gather round!
Songs in the night he gives
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?

I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day the pathway smooths
Since first I learned to love it:
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart
A fountain ever springing
All things are mine since I am his-
How can I keep from singing?

My Life Flows on in Endless Song

God You know, my heart is divided
And my lips have worshipped many idols
You seem so far, while I need You to be close
And my doubts are at war with what I used to know

But for me, it is good to be near You
I have made the Sovereign God my refuge
I will tell of all that You've done for me
How you cleansed and set me free

You've welcomed me home like I've never gone astray
The orphan child has found a family
I give in to Your kindness and I melt in Your embrace
In You, my past meets grace, grace, grace
In You, my past meets grace grace grace

But for me, it is good to be near You
I have made the Sovereign God my refuge
I will tell of all that You've done for me
How you cleansed and set me free

Surely you are good 3x
In the times of my rebellion 
You are good

To Be Near You - Elisabeth Harder

Jehovah Shalom means 'the LORD your peace'.

A lullaby for every uncertain, wavering heart.

Have no fear. God alone is enough.

The Lord Is Your Peace / Jehovah Shalom

Jehovah Rapha means ' the LORD your healer' or 'great physician'.

Based on Jeremiah 8 (The Bible)

Oh God, you reign in Zion
In my chaos you are sovereign
Jesus, you're my balm in Gilead
Our deepest needs are met

Come, and see the victories of the cross. Christ’s wounds are thy healings, His agonies thy repose, His conflicts thy conquests, His groans thy songs, His pains thine ease, His shame thy glory, His death thy life, His sufferings thy salvation.
Matthew Henry

Balm in Gilead / Jehovah Rapha

Jehovah El Roi means 'the God who sees'.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8

My heart is at ease - Jehovah El Roi

Jehovah Ori means 'the LORD is my light'.

But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.

You will be a light to me - Jehovah Ori
