Haden A. Ayers

Lyrics:

1.
Out of the light, You descend
Into the darkness, surrounded by sin
My hopeless life to defend;
I’ll raise You high, so high!

CHORUS
You are high above my pain and my sorrow,
So high above my darkness and sin,
You are high above, today and tomorrow,
Over the world, You ascend.
Jesus, Redeemer, and Friend.

2.
Still, in the darkness, You shine.
Healing the wounded, You opened my eyes
Then, on a cross, You would die.
They raised You high, so high!

3.
Up from the grave, You ascend;
“Name above all names,” the Father extends.
After You died for my sin,
He raised You high, so high!

You Ascend - 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

CityAlight - Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me

We all thank the Lord for His precious blood, the only thing that can wash away our sin! The music and words to this hymn were written by Robert Lowry who lived from 1826-1899.
I wanted to give this classic hymn a western feel because that is how I hear it, it also matches the time period of his life. To give it that feel I researched and played various classical western instruments, added different harmonies, and even included a little lone coyote's call.

Lyrics:
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

For my cleansing this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my pardon this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can all my sin erase?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of works 'tis all of grace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow!
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

What Can Wash Away My Sin (Western Version)

Christ, the True And Better - Kieth Getty, Matt Boswell, & Matt Papa, Arr. Haden A. Ayers

What a Beautiful Name - Hillsong, Arr. Haden A. Ayers

–Lyrics–

1.
You spoke and the earth was made,
You breathed – we rose from the clay,
Your lips turned night to day,
And the word You chose to say
Was Jesus,
It was Jesus,
Oh, Jesus,

CHORUS.
Jesus, the name above all names,
Jesus, the name above all.

2.
He came; brought God to earth.
He lived; fulfilled God's word.
He died to bury the curse.
Now the only One we serve
Is Jesus,
It is Jesus,
King Jesus,

BRIDGE.
He was the Word in the beginning,
The Firstborn from the grave,
He'll have the last kingdom standing
When it all passes away.

3.
So, kings, take off your crowns
And lords, fall to the ground;
O church, bring forth the sound!
May the only name we shout
Be "Jesus,"
We sing, "Jesus,"
Sing, "Jesus."

CHORUS.
Jesus, the name above all names, (x3)
Jesus, the name above all.

Jesus - Haden A. Ayers

An a cappella arrangement of Elevation Worship’s “I Trust In God”

Trust In God - Elevation Worship, Arr. Haden A. Ayers.mp3

Lyrics:

1.
When heavy rains fall down,
When people are not around
That used to be in our lives,
It feels like our world's crashing down.
We don't know how to think,
We don't know how to feel,
We don't know where to turn
When the darkness surrounds.
Yet, all through the night,
The Psalms remain right:
My trust is in You.

Chorus.
My trust is in You,
My trust is in You,
With every morning, Your mercies are new
Lord, my heart rests with You,
My heart rests with You,
With every morning, I lean into You
And give thanks,
God, You are great,
My trust is in You. 

2.
Show me Your ways of old,
Teach me Your paths, lead me right.
On You I wait, O Lord,
For You are the God of my life.
Lord, You're good, ever kind,
Merciful, and upright;
Teach the humble Your ways
And the sinner make right.
Pardon my name
For Your name's sake;
I know You will save.

-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.
