Who Shall Stand Before The King - Ivan Costa

1.
Here we are gathering,
Thirsting and hungering,
None of us worthy,
But still we receive
This simple supper and
Sign of our unity;
Deep in formality
Jesus we see:

2.
Sharing the bread,
I remember His offering;
Battered and wounded,
His body is there.
Then, in the breaking,
I’m causing His suffering;
It was my sinning
That brought His despair.

CHORUS.
Come to the table;
Remember the gift of the Savior.
Come to the table;
This is our common union.

3.
Sharing the cup,
I can see His New Covenant,
Stained in the blood
That He shed in my place.
Drawing it nearer,
I witness this covenant
Bringing to sinners
The blood of His grace!

(CHORUS)

4.
Here we are gathered,
Our thirsting and hungering
Quelled by the Spirit
And Truth on display.
Still, Precious Savior,
I find myself hungering,
Longing to see You
In glory someday.
Amen.

Our Common Union (Come to the Table) - 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

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.

My Trust Is in You (Psalm 25) - Lane Branch & Haden A. Ayers

Upon Thy Mountain - Haden Ayers

Closer - Randy Gill

–Lyrics–

1.
I recall
When at first I heard the cry
Of One who, in my stead,
Had come to serve and die.

2.
I recall
How those spirits yonder weaved;
How, when, in one accord,
They sang it, I believed.

3.
I recall
When, in love, my heart had changed;
Oft' I relive the day
I called His wondrous Name.

4.
I recall
How the ripples touched my feet;
How I was plunged beneath
In death and rose complete.

I Recall - Haden A. Ayers

Shine, Jesus, Shine! - arr. Haden A. Ayers & Joey Hickey

Heal Me, O Lord - Ivan Costa

-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.
