Here lies a man
Here lies a fool
Here lies a stone to mark the life that I once knew
Here lies an enemy
Of the God of creation
Here lies a lifeless soul on the edge of sure damnation
And here lies the shadow
Of the man I used to be
No longer I, but He who died for me
[Chorus]
I once was blinded by my own delights
Believing that I had control of my time
A moment from death, and a step from hell's fire
My stubborn mind set in my arrogant lies
But it's all of God and none of my own
That the power of the blood can wash and atone
That Christ so exalted would stoop down so low
To break me, and take me, and make me His own
So here lies the old
But hear my new cry
Hear the Word of God, hear the Word of Life
He shed His blood
That you might live
For though your sin is great
His grace is greater still
[Chorus]
And here's the empty grave
And the scars for all to see
The sovereignty and wonder of the King
Covert of Your Wings
by Paula Sitterlee
From the ends of the earth will I cry unto Thee
When my heart is overwhelmed,
Lord, I will run to Thee
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord
In my afflictions my soul is restored
For in the midst of it all, You are there to intercede
On my behalf, in my time of need
[Chorus]
You're my shelter,
You're my strong tower
And I will abide in Your tents forever
You're my shelter,
You're my strong tower
And I will trust in the covert of Your wings
Yes I will trust in the covert of Your wings
Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound
Rejoicing greatly, there's glory all around
For You, O Lord, are the One
The One who's greatly to be praised
Forever and ever, for all my days
[Chorus]
From the ends of the earth will I cry unto Thee
When my heart is overwhelmed,
Lord, I will run to Thee
[Chorus]
Rebellion Breaker
by John D. Graham, PhD
Wind of fury
Buffet my strength, buffet my might
Waves of fear crash and
Drown my panting delights
Darkness destroys the soothing sights
Cold, cold the grasp, the locks
The chains of hopeless night
Break my rebellion, walk on my sea
‘Tis peace You offer
When only the storm I see
Such lovingkindness
Works repentance in me
Despise I now the thoughts my heart has believed
Your storm, no foe but friend intercepting me
Lest I reach the shore of death
Only I have conceived
Rebellion Breaker, crush my heart of stone
Calm my sea, lead me home, satisfy my need
Rebellion, rebellion now warm grains of sand
My feet now walk to Your commands
Hallelujah! How good to be free
Free from rebellion, Hallelujah indeed!
Hallelujah! How good to be free
Free from rebellion, Hallelujah indeed!
You are my Law, my Love, my Delight
Crushing my rebellion with glory and might
Hallelujah! How good to be free
Will you walk the crushed sands of rebellion with me
Lest you reach your shore of night
His storm is mighty
But His peace will break your flight
Rebellion Breaker free my friend tonight
Rebellion Breaker, You are my delight
Rebellion Breaker free my friend tonight
Rebellion Breaker, You are my delight
Isaiah 6
by Jonathan Riddle
Holy Spirit arise in the depths of my soul
Let my death be burned out with the light of His glory
Put your fire in my bones and awaken my soul
In the presence of God I am longing for more
Place a song of heaven on my lips
My ear inclines to hear the Words you give
[Chorus]
We watch with ready hearts and faithful feet
To glorify the King of Kings
Our lamps are lit, our eyes are set on you
With humble hearts, obedient
We set our faces as flint
Steadfast in faith, we press toward the mark before us
He has promised the battle was already won
Even before my first breath had begun
He said “whom shall I send, who will go for us”
So I cry “prepare ye the way, and run to the cross!”
[Chorus]
Take my vision, take my voice
Take my thoughts Lord, make them yours
Purify my lips and speech
Let my heart seek only thee
[Chorus]
At the Foot of the Cross
by Paula Sitterlee
In Bethlehem, God came earth as a man
Born as the sinless one, the true spotless Lamb
Jesus came to die for you, to seek and to save
Upon the cross at Calvary, His precious blood He gave, and...
[Chorus]
There your sin is washed away
There your night is turned to day
At the foot of the cross
All the chains fall at your feet
As you are made complete
By the shed blood of the Lamb
Now at this time, God's wrath abides on them
Who have not repented of their sin,and turned in faith towards Him
Yet He is calling out today, so come without delay
And yield your life on bended knee while there is still a way
[Chorus]
Grace
by Jonathan Riddle
What grace
What blessed grace
That in my darkest night
I have the savor of Christ
What glory
Amazing glory
That in my wicked sin
You make me whole again
[Chorus]
And I am humbled by your very presence
I am humbled by the precious blood you shed
I know not why you would save this wretched lonesome sinner
Lay your life down in my stead
I know the mire of my mind
I know the filth that tries to bind
But greater is He who is in me
The joy of my Savior is all I need
So Lord I offer up this praise
I cannot cease to be amazed
Set my heart and set my lips ablaze
That I may preach your name
Arise! Arise! Ezekiel arise!
Lift high! Lift high! The name of Jesus Christ
Perfect Sacrifice
by Paula Sitterlee
Walking in the cool of the evening
The voice of the Lord could be heard
Trying to run from their rebellion
And hide from the presence of God
A covering had to be provided
And only one thing could atone
The life of another must be taken
For the blood it had to flow, but now there's...
[Chorus]
No more blood to be shed
Just a sacrifice of praise
Lifted to the One who gave His life
For my debt to be paid
No more beasts to slay
The Lamb of God died once for all
And His sacrifice will forever be enough
On the day of Atonement
The high priest would enter alone
Into the Holy of Holies
Trembling with godly fear and awe
Hoping the blood would be accepted
And cover all the sin that they had done
But the blood of bulls and goats could never take away their sin
They looked to the One who'd die to save all men, and now there's...
[Chorus]
Let Your Glory Fall
by Jonathan Riddle
I see a nation without any shame
I see a people turned fully away
I see false hope that brings death to the dying
And I see a God whose patience they're trying
[Chorus]
So let your glory fall
One these men and on this call
As your new generation arises
Every man, every child
They shall see your great light
In this darkest of hours, stand in awe
Let your glory fall
I see a generation
In darkness they live
With heads strong like stone
And their hearts full of sin
But I know a God who is stronger than all
Through the power of the Gospel
The hardest will fall
[Chorus]
We have been called to give eyes to the blind
In the name of our Jesus give life to the dying
Lay everything down at the foot of the cross
And we'll follow our Savior no matter the cost
[Chorus]
Judgment Day
by Paula Sitterlee
For those who have hardened their hearts
To the true gospel of Christ
For those who think their works will get them into heaven
Turn away from this arrogant pride
And come to know the truth
That only through His blood will you enter in
Only through His blood will you enter in
[Chorus]
Are you covered and washed in the blood of the Lamb
Have you ever cried out for His redeeming hand
Don't rely on the works of your own hands
Or count on the things that you understand
When the Day of Judgment comes
And you're standing before His throne
Truly believing that you'll be with Him
Based on the things that you have done
But when He doesn't see the blood
He'll come with a flaming fire of vengeance in His eyes
A flaming fire of vengeance in His eyes
“I never knew you, depart from my presence
Into a hell that was reserved for Satan and His angels
Depart from me into a place where My glory is never seen
And spend eternity apart from me”
Are you covered and washed in the blood of the Lamb
Have you ever cried out for His redeeming hand
Don't rely on the works of your own hands
Or count on the things that you understand
For on that Great Judgment Day, He will have to say
“I never knew you, depart from my presence
Into a hell that was reserved for Satan and His angels
Depart from me into a place where My glory is never seen
And spend eternity apart from me”
The Blood Covered All
by Paula Sitterlee
In days of old
The sacrifice was made
The blood placed on the door
To spare the child that day
And in the darkness of the night
The cries rose up in dreadful fright
For God's wrath had been poured out with all His might
[Chorus]
But the blood covered all
Every single stain
Every single curse
Jesus bore my shame
The blood covered all
And the mercy of the call
Was that I was never worth it all
But the blood covered all
And now the atoning work is done
Jesus, You shed Your blood alone
The shouts of joy rise up to Your holy throne
And all the saints rejoice in Thee
My Savior God, Redeemer King
For all my sin has been removed far from me
[Chorus]
