Surrender Song - 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

Lyrics-

1.
Master, Creator, Sustainer of life,
Constrained to a vessel of earth.
How could a body withstand all Your might?
Oh, Your unmeasurable worth!

2.
Loved by the Heavens but hated by us–
Destined to suffer from birth.
We couldn’t fathom the depth of Your love;
Oh, Your unmeasurable worth!

3.
Healer, Redeemer, and Savior of men,
Hosanna! You rise from the earth!
No other martyr could pardon our sin;
Oh, Your unmeasurable worth!

CHORUS.
Jesus, Jesus, 
Grace I could never deserve.
Jesus, Jesus, 
Oh, Your unmeasurable worth!

Unmeasurable Worth - Haden A. Ayers

Lyrics–

1.
There is a place my soul awaits
In the presence of Christ, my King.
And though I caused His deepest pain,
I’ll enter in by His suffering.

2.
You paved the way so clear and straight,
But I stumble so easily.
Teach me, Lord, to seek Your face,
And give me strength when I am weak.

CHORUS.
I will lift my praise to the Highest Name
For setting the captive free.
Oh, You paved the way to the highest place
And opened the gates for me.

You Paved The Way - Haden A. Ayers

–Lyrics–

1.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Homes where the Scripture is planted and learned,
Homes filled with mercy and lead by Your Word,
Homes where Your Spirit endures.

2.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the fathers and help them lead on;
May they be present, consistent, and strong,
Shielding their families from wrong.

3.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the mothers and help them to love;
May they be robed in good works from above,
Showing the power of your blood.

4.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the children and help them to grow;
Teach them the fruits of Your Spirit to show,
Keeping them safe from the foe.

Lord, give us Christian homes!
