You are holy One and only You are perfect Spotless purity Who can come to Stand before you? Who can dare come Near your holy throne? Only he who has clean hands Only he who has a pure heart So I know I cannot stand Cannot stand before the Father Jesus, your righteousness Has covered us with kindness Jesus, we love to Bow our lives before you And hide our hearts in you We are empty Christ is fullness We are dirty He’s unstained by sin We are broken He was broken He was torn so We could be made whole Only Jesus has clean hands Only Jesus has a pure heart Only Jesus Christ can stand He can stand before his Father Only through Jesus (x3) We come Only Jesus has clean hands Only Jesus has a pure heart So through Jesus’ blood we come We can stand before our Father

I see you in a garden, kneeling there in darkness Making there the choice that saved the world I see you on a hillside; your arms are opened out wide Bearing all my sin, you saved the world Great is the King Riding out in victory Worthy of praise Crowned with joy in majesty, majesty I see you in a garden, buried in the darkness Shrouded in our shame and wrapped in death I see you in the sunrise, walking in the morning Death is overcome; you are alive You are the only Savior You are the only Healer You are the only Finder of our souls You are the risen Savior You are the glorious Healer You are the only Conqueror of our souls I see you in a city, beautiful in splendor All of heaven and earth are made anew I see you in your glory, saints and angels singing By the Father’s side you rule the world

The Accuser says of me: “Unworthy and unloved” The cross speaks over me My Savior's worth and love He sings his grace around my heart Against the lie he stands He is true forevermore The scars forever on his hands The scars forever on his hands Jesus Christ is the same Through all of our yesterdays, he has not changed For tomorrow, his love will still remain And today, he reigns When doubt grips me again And I cannot endure Christ the true “Amen” Makes every promise sure The future holds no guarantees, Shifting like the sand Jesus is my Rock and he will Hold me tightly in his hands He holds me tightly in his hands When I am numb and worn And grief is all I see Mercies are reborn Each morning faithfully The Savior knows each tear that falls Jesus understands Safe in him forevermore To him alone I lift my hands To him alone I lift my hands His death says: Love will never leave me His death says: Mercy never fails His life says: None can overcome him His life says: Grace always prevails

All the earth will sing you, all the tribes will bring you All the honor due your name All the kings will bow down, all the peoples around The whole world will sing your praise Oh hosanna! Glory to God in the highest heaven and in the church Hallelujah! Jesus is coming back, shows his wisdom, his fullness and fame In the church Rescued, ransomed, and glorified we stand One new man in Christ the King With one love we serve you; you alone deserve to Be the first in everything Redeemed from all danger, we’re no longer strangers Boldly we draw near by grace No longer divided, at the cross united Built into God’s dwelling place One God: one Father, one Spirit, one Savior One solid foundation; one hope for salvation One people, united; one passion, ignited One race that’s worth running, one King who is coming Uyez’uyeza uJesu uyeza (2x) - Jesus is coming Uyez’uyeza uJesu masinyane (2x) - Jesus is coming as soon as possible Halalu uJesu uyinkosi (2x) - Praise him, Jesus is King Siyamdumis’ uJesu thinasonke (2x) - We praise Jesus together

Jesus has redeemed my soul Jesus is my only hope When I’m weak my God is strong When I’m sad he is my song And I will give to you my everything Siyabonga, siyabonga (We thank you, we thank you) For you have given me your everything Ujesu wahlenga umoya wami Ujesu uyithemba lami Uma ngikhathele ungamandla ami Uma ngilusizi uyiculo lami

Look at the galaxies—they shine Majesty, majesty See how the mountains etch the sky Faithfulness, faithful Look at the cross—it speaks of Unfailing, unfailing love The tomb that proved He was enough Unfailing, unfailing love Hear endless waves that wash the beach Forgiveness, forgiveness Feel how the rain falls on your cheek Tenderness, tender The hands that made the world Bear the scars that saved the world
7.
Desired of all nations, you’re the promise of Abraham You’re Moses’ fire and you’re burning in the soul of a man Ancient of Days, before creation was, you were And in you the stars and the atoms hold together Praise the name of Jesus Praise the name of Jesus Matchless in grace and endless in fame Is the name of Jesus, Is the name of Jesus. Immortal King, you’re the fullness of all deity In you the light of the Father dwells bodily Yet you took my flesh, you understand my weakness Your obedience is humanity’s completeness Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world You knew my name long before the earth first turned Yet you cried the tears of the hell we deserved And you took the fear of the hell we had earned You bore my death and went to my grave Laid in the tomb till the third day Your heart beats now, victorious you rise You are alive
8.
Oh that you’d rend the heavens and come down That the mountains might quake That the nations might tremble and shake At your presence From ancient days no eye has seen And no ear has heard A God like you who does awesome deeds We need your presence Show us your glory, and draw near to us As we bow and worship you, send your presence (3x) The face whose glory even Moses feared The name they could not speak Yahweh so holy, they could not draw near To your presence Now all your glory’s in the face of Christ And he has made a way Through our great priest and sacrifice We enter your presence You’ve shown us your glory; You’ve drawn near to us Now we ask for more of you: send your presence (3x) And as we go from here, set us apart Let us be to the world A people whose every move is marked By your presence, by your presence By your presence
9.
Thank you—you are so faithful Though I fall, you’re always grace-full Forgive me for putting idols above you I need your help just to love you, Lord Find rest, O my soul Content yourself in Christ alone For his love never fails And he will never He will never He will never let you go I’ve lived for too long this way In pride, I cheapen your grace But you are near to the heart that’s humble So at your cross I crumble, Lord Building monuments to me I’m left unsatisfied All that’s left are emptiness And dregs of restless of pride I will rise and go to him Who fills the empty full There I find he satisfies He satisfies my soul Behold, you make all things new Jesus, come and make me new, too My heart is dry and desert thirsty I cast myself upon your mercy, Lord / Jesus, how I love you; Jesus, how I need you Jesus, I will cling to you When all around has gone away, you Remain Jesus, I still love you; Jesus, I still need you Jesus, I’m going to cling to you When my cold heart has gone astray, you Remain I will cling to the Rock that was cleft for me I will sing of the Tree that brought life to me Let me share in the brokenness of suffering That I might come to understand The beauty of your broken hands Jesus, how I love you; Jesus, how I need you Jesus, I’m going to cling to you When my cold heart has gone astray When my lips forget how to pray When there’s no light left in the day When all around have gone away, you Remain

Jesus Saves 04:16
Broken, barren, buried by sin We were helpless, we were hopeless Then by God’s design, Jesus stepped in He was beaten, He was bruised, then He was buried by all our sin So by God’s design, He was condemned But he rose again Jesus saves: He paid the price I could not pay No longer a slave, I am set free from all sin’s chains The most glorious name: Jesus saves Identified, there with Christ Our old selves were crucified Now we’re raised with him into new life Justified, we’re made righteous We’ve been seated in the highest Now we’re raised with him for all time I am his and he is mine Jesus saves: My King has conquered the grave No longer afraid, I am made new, I am changed The most glorious name: Jesus saves In that crucifixion place Wrath and love met face to face And into history’s darkest day You shone your grace
11.
Never a trial that He is not there Never a burden He does not bear Never a sorrow he does not share Moment by moment I’m under His care Never a battle with wrong for the right Never a contest He does not fight Lifting above us His banner of light Moment by moment, I’m kept in His sight Moment by moment, His death is mine Living each moment in new life divine Looking to Jesus till his glory shines Moment by moment, O Lord, I am Thine Never a heartache, never a groan Never a teardrop, never a moan Never a danger but there on the throne Moment by moment He thinks of His own Never a weakness He does not feel Never a sickness He cannot heal Moment by moment, in woe or in weal Jesus my Savior, abides with me still

Mary's Song 02:47
If I could thank you enough If I could show you my love Then I would break my heart And pour it out, an alabaster jar If I could adore you, Lord Yes that’s what these tears are for You have forgiven me so much So I will give an extravagant love If I could delight your heart If I could express how kind you are Then I would choose this one thing To be found at the feet of my King To be found at the feet of my King

Tonuya gbe Jesu ga (Egbega) Tonuya ewa wole Araiye wole, araiye juba Araiye wole, araiye juba (Praise the Lord, lift Jesus high Praise the Lord, let us bow down All the earth bows down, all the earth worships)
