Verse 1:
The king is born in a lowly stable
Exchanging His crown for a cross
Born into the world He created
Living with those who are lost

Verse 2:
Who could think that this helpless baby
Would soon take the weight of our sin?
But He lives, He has risen and conquered
Come let us glorify Him

Chorus:
Come let us worship
Come let us worship
Come let us worship Him

Verse 3:
Strangers came with their costly oblations
Worshipping Him as they gave
So let us give our lives as an off'ring
To Him who has lavished His grace

(Chorus)

Bridge:
By this we now know love
That He came from above
Laid down His life for us
Come let us worship Him
We lay down our lives
Not to pay the price
But out of love for Christ
Come let us worship Him

End:
Let us worship Him

Let us worship

Based mainly on Revelation 11:15-18.

I will give you praise
Lord God Almighty
Who was and is, always
You will reign in majesty

The nations rage in vain
but your justice will be poured
And those who fear your name
Will be given your reward

Pre-Chorus:
The kingdom of the world
will become the kingdom of our God x2

Chorus:
And he shall reign, forever
And he shall reign, forever
And he shall reign, forever
And he shall reign, forever

One day I will stand
Face to face and clearly see
The glory of the Lamb
and the God who rescued me

He shall reign forever

Return, O my soul, to your rest (Psalm 116)

Verse 1:
I love the Lord
For He has listened
Heard my voice
My pleas for mercy
Therefore I will call on Him
As long as I live

Verse 2:
The snares of death
Had encompassed
The pangs of Sheol
Had laid hold
I called on His name
"Deliver my soul"

Chorus:
So return, O my soul, 
Yes return, O my soul, to your rest

Verse 3:
Deliver'd my soul
From death
My eyes from tears
My feet from stumbling
So I will walk before the Lord
In the land of the living
So I will walk before the Lord
In the land of the living

(Chorus)


Return, O my soul, to your rest

Teach me Your way
That I may follow
To walk in Your truth
That I may fear You

Today, I will glorify Your name, 
With all that I am, proclaim 
You are faithful and good

God on high
Be glorified
You are faithful and good
My life is yours
My heart adores
You are faithful and good

O Lord, hear me
For I am needy
You are my God
Have mercy on me


Today, I will glorify Your name, 
With all that I am, proclaim 
You are faithful and good

Teach me Your way

God's righteousness 
Has been made known 
Apart from the works of the law 
The pure righteousness 
Through faith in Christ 
For all who believe in Him 

Pre-Chorus: 
For all have sinned 
And fall short of the glory of God 
And justified by His grace 
His grace as a gift 

Chorus: 
Redemption is ours in Christ 
God gave an atoning sacrifice 
Righteous, divine 
To show at the present time 
He's just and He justifies 

Then how can we boast? 
Salvation is ours 
Apart from the works of the law 
It's only through faith 
That we're justified 
Upholding the law in our lives 

Outro: 
He is just and He justifies...

Just and justifies (Romans 3)

If there's encouragement in Christ 
Any comfort from love 
Sharing in the Spirit 
Affection and sympathy 
Make my joy complete 
Make my joy complete 

Being of the same mind 
With the same love 
Being in full accord 
And of one mind 
Not out of conceit 
Make my joy complete 

Chorus: 
Have the same mind 
Have the same mind as Christ Jesus 

In humility 
Consider others more 
Not only your own interests 
But place others' before 
Make my joy complete 
Make my joy complete 

(Chorus) 

Though in form of God 
Did not grasp equality 
Made himself as nothing 
Taking a servant's form 

In man's likeness born 
Being found in human form 
Humbled himself to death 
Even death on a cross 

Highly exalted 
Bestowed on him the name 
Above every name 
Highly exalted 
Bestowed on him the name 
Above every name 

So that every knee should bow 
In heaven, on the earth 
And under the earth 
And every tongue confess: 

Jesus Christ is Lord 
To the glory of God 
Jesus Christ is Lord 
To the glory of God

Have the same mind (Philippians 2)

Silent night

Angels from the realms of glory, 
Wing your flight o’er all the earth; 
You who sang creation’s story 
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth. 

Shepherds, in the field abiding, 
Watching o’er your flocks by night, 
God with us is now residing; 
Yonder shines the infant light: 

Chorus 
Worship, worship 
Worship Christ, the King. 
Worship, worship 
Worship Christ, the newborn King. 

Sages, leave your contemplations, 
Brighter visions beam afar; 
Seek the great Desire of nations; 
You have seen His natal star. 

Though an Infant now we view Him, 
He shall fill His Father’s throne, 
Gather all the nations to Him; 
Every knee shall then bow down: 

Chorus 

Glory to God 
Glory to God 
Glory to God in the highest

Angels from the realms of glory

Who is like our God?
High above the heavens
His glory fills the skies
And no work of man compares, 
All the nations tremble
One day their praise shall rise

O - Oh who is like our God?
O - Oh there is none like Him!

Holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
the Lord God Almighty
Great and holy is the Lord God Almighty
the Lord God Almighty

He dwells in the highest heaven
and the humblest heart
Nothing can impede
We stand by His providence
in Jesus Christ His Son
Now we are free indeed!

O - Oh who is like our God?
O - Oh there is none like Him!

Worthy, worthy
is the Lord God Almighty
the Lord God Almighty
To receive all power, honour and glory
all honour and glory

Who is like our God?

Based on 1 John 4

This is love
Not that we have loved God
But that He first loved us
and sent His Son

He gave His life
He was the sacrifice
That took the sin and wrath
And brought us peace

If God so loved us
So we should love one another
If God so loved us
So we should love

Such love
Such love
Such love that came down for us

If we love one another
God abides in us 
And his love that is perfect
Is perfected in us


This is love

New album released Dec 1st 2016: https://richjens.bandcamp.com/

Verse 1: 
Do not be conformed to the world 
But transformed by your mind's renewing 
By testing that you may discern 
The good will of God to be doing 

Chorus: 
By the mercies of God 
Be a living sacrifice 
Holy, acceptable 
The worship of our lives 
The worship of our lives 

Verse 2: 
Soberly think of yourself 
According to faith he has given 
For we as one body belong 
And in our diversity function 

(Chorus) 

Bridge: 
One body in Christ with each other 
Gifts freely given by grace 
So use them to build one another 
Let love be the fruit of our faith 

(Chorus)

Strengthened in the wait

The worship of our lives (Romans 12)

Romans 8

Those He foreknew He also chose 
To be like Jesus
In order that He might be the first
Among many brothers

He did not spare His only Son
But gave Him for us
How will He not also with Him
Graciously give us all things?

Neither death nor life 
Can separate us
Neither depth nor height
Or all creation

Not the present
Nor the future is able
From His love
Nothing can separate us 

Who can condemn? Who can accuse?
We have Jesus
He died and rose and now intercedes
We are more than conquerors

Nothing can separate us

Words by George Wade Robinson (1838-1877)

Loved with everlasting love, 
Led by grace that love to know; 
Spirit, breathing from above, 
Thou hast taught me it is so. 
Oh, this full and perfect peace! 
Oh, this transport all divine! 
In a love which cannot cease, 
I am His, and He is mine. 

Heaven above is softer blue, 
Earth around is sweeter green; 
Something lives in every hue 
Christless eyes have never seen: 
Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, 
Flow’rs with deeper beauties shine, 
Since I know, as now I know, 
I am His, and He is mine. 

Oh this full and perfect peace 
In a love which cannot cease 

His forever, only His: 
Who the Lord and me shall part? 
Ah, with what a rest of bliss 
Christ can fill the loving heart. 
Heaven and earth may fade and flee, 
Firstborn light in gloom decline; 
But, while God and I shall be, 
I am His, and He is mine. 

Oh, this full and perfect peace! 
Oh, this transport all divine! 
In a love which cannot cease, 
I am His, and He is mine.

Lyrics:
Beloved, let us love one another 
For love is from God 
Whoever loves is born of the Father 
For God is love 

Pre-Chorus: 
In this love was shown to us 
Not that we loved but He loved us 

Chorus: 
If God so loved us we should love one another 
Whoever loves God must so love his brother 

God has sent his Son to be Saviour 
When we were enemies 
Beloved, so let all our behaviour 
Show his love and charity 

Pre-Chorus 

Chorus: 
If God so loved us we should love one another 
Whoever loves God must so love his brother 
How can we claim to truly know the Father 
If we don't have this, this same love for each other?

We should love (1 John 4)

Ascribe to the Lord 
O you sons of God 
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength 
Ascribe to the Lord 
The glory due his name 
Worship him in holy splendour 

The voice of the Lord is over the waters 
Majestic and powerful, his glory thunders 
The voice of the Lord flashes forth fire 
Shaking the wilderness, forests expire 
Majestic and powerful, his glory thunders 

Ascribe to the Lord 
The glory due his name 
Worship him in holy splendour 

The voice of the Lord is over the waters 
Majestic and powerful, his glory thunders 
The voice of the Lord flashes forth fire 
Shaking the wilderness, forests expire 
Majestic and powerful, his glory thunders 

He sits enthroned as King forever

Psalmody

Ascribe (Psalm 29)

The splendour of Your majesty
Your wondrous works surrounding me
I will declare Your awesome greatness
Your goodness truly overflows
Your righteousness in which I'm clothed
I will declare Your awesome greatness

Great is the Lord, so great
He is greatly to be praised
His greatness is unsearchable
Great is the Lord, so great
He is greatly to be praised
I stand amazed, I stand amazed

You hold the falling in Your arms
You raise up all who are bowed down
I will declare Your awesome greatness
You give me all that I require
You satisfy my heart's desire
I will declare Your awesome greatness

Great is the Lord (Psalm 145)

From the forthcoming album "Heaven and Earth"

Verse 1: 
Why do the holy angels sing? 
Why do the heav’nly arches ring 
With anthems sweet from seraphs bright, 
With glittering crowns and robes of white? 

Verse 2: 
Glory to Thee, our God, they cry, 
Maker of earth, and sea, and sky, 
To Thee our highest strains belong, 
Thou great Inspirer of our song. 

Chorus: 
They sing of the Lamb that was slain, 
The Saviour that lives again, 
The root of David and offspring 
The brightest star of the morning 

Verse 3: 
Beautiful world where all is bright, 
Rivers of gold and fields of light, 
In murmured tones of joy prolong 
The echo of the angels’ song. 

Verse 4: 
Well may the holy angels sing, 
Well may the heav’nly arches ring, 
With anthems sweet from choirs above, 
They sing of God, and God is love.

Heaven and earth

Why do the holy angels sing?

Words: Char­lotte El­li­ott, 1835

Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yes, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am

New album 'Parabolic' coming soon

A man had two sons, the youngest one said: 'I am going' 
'Give me my share of property that is coming' 
He soon went away, squandered his wealth in wild living
Fell into need, longed for pig's feed, he had nothing

'The servants of my father have abundance 
Yet here I perish hungry and alone 
I will arise and go back in repentance 
And say that I have sinned, I'm not his son.' 

I'm coming home... 
I'm coming home... 

But in the distance, you saw me 
Before I could say I was wrong 
In compassion, you ran straight towards me 
Kissed me and embraced me as your son 

Dressed in your robe 
Shoes on my feet 
A ring on my hand 
The best food to eat 
Dead but now living 
Lacking for nothing 
I thought I was going 
But now I'm coming home...

Parabolic

Prodigal

Wisdom

Love is as strong as death (Song 8)

The sun has one kind of splendour
The moon and the stars have another
The body sown in dishonour
Will be raised in power
At the resurrection

Chorus:
The perishable clothed with the eternal
And the mortal with immortality
Where O where death is your sting now?
Where is your victory?

We've borne the image of earthly man
We'll bear the image of heaven
We will not all be sleeping
But changed in an eye's twinkling
At the resurrection

What you sow does not come to life until it dies

Falling asleep

At the resurrection (1 Cor 15)

Psalm 46

God is our strength
And our shelter
Though waters foam
We won't falter
He helps us all
In our trouble
We will not fear
Though mountains tremble

Chorus:
There's a river
That makes God's city glad
God dwells in her
She shall not be moved
We shall not be moved

The nations fight and rage
Kingdoms totter
The earth melts away
His voice utters
The Lord of hosts is here
He's our fortress
Behold his mighty works
He is with us

End:
Be still and know that He is God
Still and know that He is

Psalm 46
