My God Is Awesome - Charles Jenkins, Arr. Michael Fancher

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

–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

I Want to Be Closer - Haden A. Ayers

Jesus, Son Of God - Arr. Shane Coffman & Mike Rogers

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.

I'm Unworthy - Andrew Martin

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.
