Calling daughters and sons, you beautiful ones draw near
And join in a song about how we have journeyed here
With celebrations of generations gone by
And new pictures of love, drawn in the blood of a Son
As we walk we walk in light, God Himself He is the light
We’ll share life together
With perfect love that shatters fear, the darkest days will be made clear
And we’ll share life together
We all have a story, a messy tale marked by grace
Full of anticipation for the coming salvation
We’re a house full of mercy, a body that’s bursting with love
We speak for the unspoken, and we pull for the broken ones
We’ve traveled through deserts, Survived by His grace
we’ve kept souvenirs,to commemorate
All the times that he washed the tears from our faces
showed us new places to help renovate us
So build up your altars, call down the fire, rejoice as the flames reach higher
So build up your altars, call down the fire, rise up
So build up your altars, call down the fire, rejoice as the flames reach higher
So build up your altars, call down the fire, rise up all you dreamers,
misfits, and liars
All you Children of God, open up wide your hands
We’re a rejoicing nation, under His renovation
So lift up your voice, make a joyful noise, just sing
Offer up all your praises, to the one who has saved us, sing

His Love
05:56

The blood of a lion is flowing from Zion
Coursing through the veins opened for all
Come and drink from the ocean of grace
Stand on a hill where a battle took place
His love conquers all
His love is holding me
Where victory was won and the shackles undone
Held by three nails and the sins of all
Love was hung between earth and sky
Debts were paid. Death denied.
Gather all the kings and the hearts without wings
Sell all your horses, lay down your guns
Come and believe and cast down your fear
For gravity is the only thing holding you here
Open your chest, leave all the rest
Stand in the sea oh daughters and sons
Drink deeper and deeper the love of the Father
The Love of the Father

Ye Nations

Ye nations round the earth, rejoice! before the Lord your sovereign King
Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice, With all your tongue His glory Sing
The Lord is God, 'tis He alone Doth life and breath and being give
We are His work and not our own, the sheep that on His pastures live.
Enter His gates with songs of joy, with praises to His courts repair
and make it your divine employ to pay your thanks and honors there
The Lord is good, the Lord is kind, great is His grace and mercy sure
and the whole race of man shall find His truth from age to age endure
Heʼs beautiful, Heʼs righteous, Heʼs Glorious
sing your praise!
Come and worship the King, Come and worship the King overall
Bring your best offering, pour it over the feet of the Lord

Savior and King

Take my hands, have all of me
Take my feet and wash me clean
You alone can have my life
So I raise my hands and lift my voice as a sacrifice
You are my King, Let me life be an offering
You supply my every need, and to You I commit my life
You are my friend, and I'll never want again
You make my life complete, and with You I can find my way
My Savior my King

The Land
05:10
|
|

|
Bring us to the edge of River Jordan
And take us to the walls of Jericho
moving towards all that You've promised
giving up the ghosts of our past
'Cause we are tired of living lives defeated
We take up our mats and walk away from Egypt
We build our monument, our Ebenezer
stones of hope to tell of all God has done
As generations pass they'll know our story
desert fire and smoke, His hand over us
So we will walk through the gates
This is the Land that You gave
We're singing out Your praise
Let Your Kingdom Reign
We'll walk in the land
We'll walk in the land
we'll walk in the land You gave

Glory!
Arise bright Morning Star, outstretch Your Mercy Arms
Receive for You what is rightly Yours
Your Bride whom You adore
Let incense fill the air, and rise to meet You here
The rapture of a daughterʼs love
Receive in song and prayer
Glory!
Be blessed almighty King, Heaven and Earth doth sing
How glorious our Lord of Hosts
Arrayed in Majesty
Glory!

Psalm 51
05:26
|
|
||
|
You know my heart is dark within
I need to be cleansed from my sin
Expose me, wash me, Lord
Make me transparent
Let me hear joy in sacrifice
A broken spirit You require
To be restored and made new
Nothing else but this will do for You
Oh Lord
Let these bones that You have broken rejoice!
Now fully surrendered, Lord, to You
You open my lips to praise You
For Your unfailing love and Your compassion
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
Oh Lord

Burning Coal
03:21
|
|

|
I was walkin' in the Carolina soil
Diggin' my toes into the earth
Watchin' the river snaking by
and there my soul was satisfied
The dragon flies were buzzing through the air
echoing the Maker's grand design
I sat at the base of that old hollow tree
and listened to Creation's melody
And the glory of the Lord filled the temple
The brightness of His glory lingered there
The sound of angels' wings rumbled through the earth
The voice of God Almighty thundered there
The angel took the coal from the altar
He placed that burnin' cinder 'pon my mouth
He said, "Your guilt is done and your sins forgiven"
I will rejoice in this redemption song
When the rain came pouring down
My soul soaked up the sound
Up from the ground sprung everlasting water
And there my soul was satisfied

Communion Song
06:17
|
|
||
|
Sacramental love, borne of fruit and grain
Act of ages past, this we do again
Shadow of the feast, that is and has not been
We crucify ourselves, that we may call you kin
This mouth will taste, these lips will sing
Of all our loss to gain a king
Our fellowship forged in the flood.
We eat your flesh we drink your blood.
