St. Mark’s DC Grad Retreat (February 2025)

Lord, I Need You

If You Love Me — St Mark DC

Lyrics:

R: O You, O great Potter
I'm like the clay between your hands
Come create in me a new vessel 
That is pleasing before your eyes 

I give myself to you freely 
To your fingers that fashion me
I will not grieve nor relent 
I long you for you to work in me 

R: O You, O great Potter
I'm like the clay between your hands
Come create in me a new vessel 
That is pleasing before your eyes 

I come to you with all my vices
I trust in your grace and hand
My heart now I devote to you
Not to my despair nor my past

R: O You, O great Potter
I'm like the clay between your hands
Come create in me a new vessel 
That is pleasing before your eyes

O You, O Great Potter (Demiana Nathan)

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love

And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but Heaven's will
No scheme of Hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down

In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

Sing it, o death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Rise up from the grave

Christ is Risen (St Mark DC)

VERSE 1
I see the work of Your hands
Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming
I hear the sound of Your voice
All at once it’s a gentle and thundering noise oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming

CHORUS
I delight myself in You
In the glory of Your presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You
God, I run into Your arms
Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

VERSE 2
I know the power of Your cross
Forgiven and free forever You’ll be my God
All that You’ve done is so overwhelming

BRIDGE
You are beautiful, You are beautiful
Oh God, there is no one more beautiful
You are beautiful, God you are the most beautiful

You are wonderful, You are wonderful
Oh God, there is no one more wonderful
You are wonderful, God You are the most wonderful

You are glorious, You are glorious
Oh God, there is no one more glorious
You are glorious, God You are the most glorious

Overwhelmed (St Mark DC)

[Verse 1]
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me

[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

[Verse 2]
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me

[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

[Bridge]
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me

[Chorus]
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
And I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

Reckless Love (St Mark DC)

In my father’s house I was living
In mercy and grace
Till I took my share of his wealth
To a distant place
(I left my family
So I could be free)x2
And pursue my own ways

I set off for a distant country
So far away
My life was wild and more wasteful
With every day
(Satan deceived me
Attacked and beat me)x2
He threw me in the flames

I became slave to my many sins
And evil deeds
Trying to fill my desires
Paying no heed
(I wasted my fortune
With no thought or caution)x2
And found myself in need

After I had spent everything
I was in need
To those who saw me in those days
I was dead indeed
(They forgot the old feasts
Days that had long ceased)x2
And left me to my misery

I asked one of the citizens
To have mercy on me
Give me the most despicable job
I will agree
(He sent me to his field
The swine I had to feed)x2
Their food I longed to eat

I came to myself immediately
To repentance
Went back to my father to ask him
To forgive my sins
(And when he saw me
He ran towards me)x2
And called me beloved son

O sinner listen to me
And my story
Repent, return to Your Father
In great hurry
(You’ll find joy and peace
That will never cease)x2
In the shadow of His glory

In My Father’s House (St Mark DC)

Letting go of every single dream
I lay each one down at Your feet
Every moment of my wandering
Never changes what You see
I've tried to win this war, I confess
My hands are weary, I need Your rest
Mighty warrior, King of the fight
No matter what I face, You're by my side

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You

Truth is, You know what tomorrow brings
There's not a day ahead You have not seen
So in all things be my life and breath
I want what You want, Lord, and nothing less

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You
I will trust in You

You are my strength and comfort
You are my steady hand
You are my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
Your ways are always higher
Your plans are always good
There's not a place where I'll go
You've not already stood

When You don't move the mountains
I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
I will trust in You

Trust in You (St Mark DC)
