The splendour of Your majesty
Your wondrous works surrounding me
I will declare Your awesome greatness
Your goodness truly overflows
Your righteousness in which I'm clothed
I will declare Your awesome greatness
Great is the Lord, so great
He is greatly to be praised
His greatness is unsearchable
Great is the Lord, so great
He is greatly to be praised
I stand amazed, I stand amazed
You hold the falling in Your arms
You raise up all who are bowed down
I will declare Your awesome greatness
You give me all that I require
You satisfy my heart's desire
I will declare Your awesome greatness

Draw near (Hebrews 4)
04:12
|
|||
People of God, enter into rest
People of God, know that you are blessed
The grace of our Maker, has brought us salvation
We have a high priest who makes propitiation
Don't be made stone by the wiles of sin
Encourage each other, strive to be like Him
His word is living, the sharpest incision
It pierces the soul with perfect precision
We draw near with no fear before Him
With boldness we seek His face
There's mercy, forgiveness and comfort
Draw near to His throne of grace
Nothing can hide, everything is known
Exposed to His eyes, all our secrets shown
But the grace of our Maker, has brought us salvation
We have a high priest who makes propitiation

Rich in mercy
01:28
|

Rich in mercy, rich in grace
He has shown His heavenly face
Rich in mercy, rich in grace
We're seated with the Lord in the heavenly place

We were dead in all our sin
Following our worldly course
Slaves to our desires within
We went astray
Children of a righteous wrath
Without hope, we stood condemned
When there was no other path
He made a way
Pre-Chorus:
Rich in mercy, rich in love
God has brought us back to His side
Raised with Jesus, and seated above
We will be His bride
Chorus 1:
There will be joy
There we will sing
Our God is there
He will wipe every tear away
For by grace we have been saved
Not by works, so none can boast
So now as His workmanship,
We walk His way
Chorus 2:
There will be joy
There we will sing
Our God is there
He will wipe every tear away
No more of death
And no suffering
Our God is there
He will wipe every tear away
We'll sing "Hallelujah, O Hallelujah"

The Lord forgives iniquity
He heals all of our disease
Redeems our lives from misery
and crowns us with love and with mercy
He shows compassion to us
He knows our frame: that we are dust
Our days are short and quickly past
But His love is from everlasting
Chorus:
Bless the Lord O my soul
And let all within bless His holy name
Bless the Lord O my soul
And never forget all His benefits
The Lord is gracious and merciful
His anger is slow, and love bountiful
He will not always accuse us all
Nor harbour his anger forever
He has taken our sin
Far away, far away
As far as east is from west
Far away, far away

Jesus shall reign
03:57
|
|||
(A few of the lesser-known verses of the hymn)
Jesus shall reign wherever the sun
Does its successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
With power He vindicates the just,
And treads the oppressor in the dust:
His worship and His fear shall last
Till hours, and years, and time be past.
Chorus:
We praise You, Lord
We praise You, Lord
For Your great love
We praise You, Lord
The heathen lands, that lie beneath
The shades of overspreading death,
Revive at His first dawning light;
And deserts blossom at the sight.
The saints shall flourish in His days,
Dressed in the robes of joy and praise;
Peace, like a river, from His throne
Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

Doxology (Romans 11)
02:39
|
|||
Oh, the depth of riches
And wisdom of our God
Unsearchable His judgments
Inscrutable His ways
For who has known the mind of God
Or been His counsellor?
Given any gift to Him
That he might be repaid?
For from him and through him and to him are all things
Amen
