HOW BEAUTIFUL

The Heavens declare
Nothing can compare,
To Your glory
And purity;
You're fairer than the lilies that sprout on the mount and vale,
You're pure and bright and white as light, the eyes to see must veil,
Lift Him high, magnify, earth, sky and sea all hail.

How beautiful is the Lord
How powerful and amazing
How eternal are His words
The Heavens all praise Him;
Holy, You are holy
Holy, the angels cry holy
Holy, You are holy
Holy, the Heavens cry holy.

What tongue can recite
Thy power, Thy might,
Let all proclaim
Thy Holy Name;
For You alone are worthy of all honor and all praise,
Receive from us all glory Lord, the Great Ancient of Days,
Lord You are, Lord You are, perfect in all Your ways.

How plentiful His bounties
How marvelous His creation
Extravagant His mercies
So great His salvation;
Worthy, You are worthy
Worthy, the saints they cry worthy
Worthy, You are worthy
Worthy, all Earth they cry worthy.

How Beautiful

WHY SHOULD NOT MAN GLORIFY

Sitting and gazing at Thy works of love:
The moon and stars in their courses above
I bow in awe n magnify,
The magnificent firmament at night
Wonderful works of Thy great hands so bright
They all adore n testify;
The moon and stars in the sky
The mountains uplifted high
The ocean waves and the trees
In one accord glorify

Why should not man glorify Thy name
Whom Thou crownest with glory n honor
Why should not man glorify Thy name
He who hath found so great a favor
Except a man, so blind, can’t see
Why won’t man glorify?         (REPEAT   X2)

Bridge:  

How excellent are all the heavens
So beautiful is all the earth
Far are the stars from me
So are Thy ways so high
Far are the skies from seas
So are Thy thoughts so high…..


Why Should Not Man Glorify

A SONNET 4 U

These all You made
My boundary lines
You have laid
In pleasant places;
You created me
Wonderfully
An object
Of Your great mercies;

You alone deserve all my praise
Deserve my love
I give to You my whole heart too;
Who but You have guided my ways
Grace from above
Your sure mercies have seen me through.

That is why I made up this song
Though it fails to say all You’ve done  …….. o-o-o-o-h

Thinking ‘bout my past life, my mistake …….wretched soul
Till You came in to save and to lead …………..made me w-h-o-l-e 
I wish there was more I could do;
You ordain every step that I make …………….all year long
You give me the courage that I need …………to go on
So I made up this sonnet for You.


A Sonnet 4 U

NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU

The nights are long
An empty song
With chords and notes of toil and pain
I can’t explain
The reason why
Just have to keep on moving on
But behind the veil
My steadfast hope is anchored strong
Jesus cannot fail
My Friend and Lord is over all
This Rock is sure
My soul’s secure
I’ll trust and keep on holding on

Never will I leave You
Never will I walk a-way
E’en though visions tarry
Always will I  wait and p-ray
Never will I leave You
Never will I go a-stray 
Always will I trust You
I will always love You Lord

Never Will I Leave U

I WILL LIFT UP MY HEART 2 U

The world in six’s and sevens
No true solution is near 
Price of gasoline so dear
Mad clouds now veil the heavens
Newly wedded bride set sail
Tender olive trees all fail
Shall I forget all the mercies you have shown?
Your love and care, all the blessings I have known!
I will lift up my heart to you Lord
And sing to you a song of praise
I will open my mouth to you Lord
And sing to you a song of praise.


I WILL LIFT UP MY HEART 2 U

YOU ARE THE BEST   (Philippians 1:29)

My friends say that my God is dead
They mock and ridicule me each day:
Where is the heaven that you promised me
There is no beauty in my God they see!

They don’t know you
Your ways and covenant
Your wisdom and unsearchable thoughts

Though you slay me
Take away all I have
I’ll love you till the very end    

Nothing they offer compares to you
Only a fool says there is no God like you
You have not called me to only believe
There is a cross that I must bear
Such suffering they detest and fear    ---- You are the best


My God is good
Faithful and true 
There’s beauty in the cross of my King ---- You are the best
Am a co-heir
A son of God
And gladly to His cross will I cling! ---- You are the best
My Lord and Friend
Patient and kind 
I’ll love Him till the very end ---- You are the best
My God is good
Faithful and true 
His thoughts for me so beautiful
(His plans for me so wonderful)

YOU ARE HERE

With gladness whelming our hearts we have come into this temple
Lifting up our hands and voices to the Lord
With boldness you have given we approach your throne of mercy
Casting all our cares and burdens upon you
Because of you we’ve come
To you we all are gathered
You alone who answer prayers
Unto you are all your people gathered here
CHORUS
You are here
To heal the sick
You are here
To help the weak
You are here
When two or three are gathered you’re in their midst
You are here
The blind will see
You are here
To set the captives free
You are here
To do all things impossible to (with) man
[Interlude]

Lord I’m grateful that you are always here for me
This shall be my resting place
And here hear me call out your name
Again, again and again


YOU’RE OMNISCIENT
We are naked and bare in your presence
Counted less than nothing in your sight
Like a drop from a bucket are the nations
(Deep) darkness shines before you bright as light

Yes you see, yes you see each deed we do
Yes you know, yes you know the intents of our hearts
Naught is hid, naught is hid from your great compassing eyes
All is bare with him whom we have to do

For all that we do
For all that we say
You see them
You hear them
In you we all move
In you we all live
What compares
To your greatness



You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
O Father
You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
Great art Thou
You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
Son of God
You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
You’re omniscient
We bow down


You're Omniscient

ETERNITY (Habakkuk 3:17-18)

Oooooo….Ooooo….Oooo…Ooo..Ooo..yea..yea..yea..yea..yea
This is my praise to You:

If great angels sing Your praise
Perfect ones who see Your face
You are holy
You are worthy Lord
Then my voice I must lift up
To You Lord my blessed hope
You are gracious
You are righteous Lord

From eternity our praises we will sing
To eternity to You Who’s Lord and King
For eternity all shall bow before
You are worthy we worship and adore.

OoooOooOoo… OoooOooOoo….yea
I will keep singing to You O God ........yea:

Let the clouds all veil the sun
Let the stars fall one by one
I’ll be thankful Lord
You are faithful God
Though the fig tree may not bloom
There be no herd in the room
Gladly with my voice
In You I will rejoice.

From eternity our praises we will sing
To eternity to You Who’s Lord and King
For eternity all shall bow before
You are worthy we worship and adore.

Say…. from age to age You’re still the same
Jesus yesterday, today and forever and ever more
The only One Who deserves this praise that’s coming from my heart
O Lord I mean every word that’s spilling from my mouth
This is nothing about what You’ve done for me
But about Whom You are!
My God! Great Jah!
