In the silence of beginning 04:20
lyrics
words/music by Chris Juby In the silence of beginning Spoke the love prepared to pay So the wellspring of creation Was the Lamb, eternal, slain In the glory of the Godhead As the universe was made Was the promise of redemption In the Lamb, eternal, slain From the blood of righteous Abel As the world gave way to hate Every sin cried out for vengeance For the Lamb, eternal, slain By the code of temple worship Sacrifice of blood was made In that sacrifice, the shadow Of the Lamb, eternal, slain On the cross, in desolation As he bore our sins away Hear his prayer “Father, forgive them” See the Lamb, eternal, slain Through his blood we have forgiveness For he died to take our place Death itself has been defeated By the Lamb, eternal, slain Now alive in risen glory Though the wounds of love remain Holding out the Father’s mercy Know the Lamb, eternal, slain When that final kingdom trumpet Heralds his triumphant reign We will worship him forever Hail the Lamb, eternal, slain

Look to the cross 03:36
lyrics
Let us run the race Set in front of us Let us run and not give up the fight Looking to the Son Striving for the line Setting all our trust in Jesus Christ Look to the cross Look to the cross Don't be faint of heart You are never lost Look to the cross Look to the cross He will bring us home We struggle in our sin We battle in our minds But never to the point of shedding blood Yet consider Him Who endured hostility Gave His life and now He gives us hope Finally we'll say "We have fought the fight, We have run the race and kept the faith" And that day we will gain A crown of righteousness We will find our joy and hope complete
3.
Put on the light 05:09
lyrics
We know the time The hour has come To wake from sleep For salvation is Nearer now Than when we believed The night is far gone The day is at hand The day is at hand So let us cast away The deeds of the dark And put on the light

God so loved the world 05:05
lyrics
God so loved the world He gave His only Son That we may never die, But have eternal life He came not to condemn But He came to redeem And give His life for everyone For God so loved everyone He gave His one and only Son And when we thought our hope had gone He made a way, he made a way Light came down to us Into this darkened world The light of lasting life To show a better way He came not to condemn But He came to redeem And gave His life for everyone Bridge: We stand condemned if we don't believe We stand accused by the enemy But we are freed from sin's captivity And we're free indeed, we're free indeed We stand condemned if we don't believe We stand accused by the enemy But Jesus' death has set us free And we're free indeed, we're free indeed

In the cross of Christ 04:38
lyrics
He is the living Word By Him all was created Yet he became a man And became sin for us He did not say a word He was despised and beaten Nailed to a sinner's cross Nailed there instead of us Pre-Chorus: The cross is foolishness The cross is glorious His life laid down for us He is victorious Chorus: In the cross of Christ I glory In His death I find my life Bread of heaven, broken for me I cling to the cross of Christ Through Adam's act of sin He died and death is reigning And we were all in him And we were lost with him One act of righteousness Leads to our restoration And now we reign in life And we will reign with Christ! I have been crucified With Christ, and live no longer But Christ now lives in me And I will live for Him The life that I now have, I live by faith in Jesus The Son of God who loved And gave Himself for me

Communion 06:09
lyrics
We meet around the table of the King Nothing but our brokeness to bring Helpless, on our own, to do a thing But thank you, Lord Our Passover Lamb was sacrificed Once and for all, He would suffice To take away the sins of many lives We thank you, Lord Pre-Chorus: The bread, his body The wine, his blood We share together and remember his words Our sin was taken Our debt was paid Clothed in righteousness, soaked in grace Chorus: We thank you, Lord We thank you, Lord We had nothing to give you, but you gave it all And now our risen Saviour dwells with us He is here and He is full of love Welcoming us all like fellow sons We thank you, Lord And in this communion we abide Offering our heart and soul and mind In anticipation of the time We'll be with you, Lord

All people that on earth do dwell 02:48
lyrics
All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice. Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell; Come ye before Him and rejoice. For why? the Lord our God is good; His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.
8.
You alone are good 03:34
lyrics
The good that's around us is from above There to remind us of his love The heavens declare it, the skies proclaim The glory of Jesus, the power of His name You alone, You alone are good, alone You alone are God, alone, You alone are true, alone You alone are good, alone, You alone are God, alone, You alone are true, alone, You alone are good alone, You alone are good In wrath and in mercy, His goodness remains It leads to repentence, removes our stains We know that in all things He brings good For those called by His purpose, redeemed, renewed
9.
Show them the love of the cross 03:38
lyrics
We were like sheep, gone astray Each of us turned our own way But we've returned to the Shepherd of our souls He came to seek and save the lost He rescued every one of us And so by our love, they might know His love Pre-Chorus: Just as we're blessed from above So we should show that same love Chorus: So love the lost Whatever the cost Show them the love that was shown at the cross To love the lost Whatever the cost Show them the love Show them the love of the cross Let us all lead a peaceful life Godly and giving and dignified For this is pleasing in His sight Loving our neighbour as ourselves Serving each other in sacrifice And so by our love, they might know His love
10.
The revealing of His love 05:48
lyrics
Creation waits eagerly For the sons of God to be revealed And we ourselves groan inwardly We wait for our redemption We wait for our redemption We wait for our adoption Chorus: We endure The suffering, the suffering We long for The revealing, the revealing Of His love In this hope we were saved Though we don't see it clearly But one day soon He'll call us home And enter in to heaven And enter in to heaven The fullness of salvation (Help us in our weakness We don't know what to pray Groan deep within us Show your way Show your way)
11.
All because of Jesus 05:51
lyrics
All because of Jesus All because of Jesus Gave up all He had in heaven The riches of His glory For our poverty All because of Jesus All because of Jesus Humbled, mocked, reviled and beaten Crucified and risen For His enemies He'll bring us home He'll bring us home He'll bring us home to Him All because of Jesus All because of Jesus Through Him we have been forgiven Died and we have risen To eternal life All because of Jesus All because of Jesus We can know our heavenly Father Here and ever after Sing our praise to Him He'll bring us home He'll bring us home He'll bring us home to Him
