VERSE 1:
Oh how good to be together
In this weary world we trod
What a gift, what a treasure
Kindred in the house of God
VERSE 2:
On this day the Lord has fashioned
Come rejoice with all your might
Raise a banner of salvation
He has led us through the night
CHORUS:
Oh the joy, oh the sweetness
To be gathered in the name of the Lord
Evermore, he will keep us
From the valley to the golden shore
VERSE 3:
When it looked like evil conquered
When we felt the darkest hour
In despair we sought the Father
And he has proved his mighty power
CHORUS
VERSE 4:
Tell the theme of his provision
How he met our every need
He has been our firm foundation
And he will ever, always be

VERSE 1:
Where does my help come from?
Where does my help come from?
When trouble rolls and the tempest blows?
And my hope is gone?
Where can my faith be strong?
Yeah where can my faith be strong?
When all I hear is the voice of fear
And it rages on
CHORUS:
I lift my eyes to the heavens
I lift my eyes to the hills
My Lord surrounds me like mountains
He never shakes, never shakes, never will
VERSE 2:
What if my world should fall?
What if my world should fall?
When I’m left betrayed or my riches fade
And I lose it all?
Where does my help come from?
Where does my help come from?
When trouble rolls and the tempest blows?
And my hope is gone?
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
My God is with me
A fortress mighty
His river runs to make me glad
No pain is stronger,
No night is longer
Nothing can break the rock on which I stand

I see a king
Ruling with equity
Reigning with empathy
In the name of love
I see a king
Standing with those in need
Welcoming refugees
In the name of love

I see a a king
Making it all like new
Turning the sad untrue
In the name of love

Governing every place
Cherishing every race
In the name of love

Fill the corners of the world
Like a river to a desert he restores
And I can hear the earth rejoice
Clap her hands and shout for joy
Singing: “Great is the king
Hallelujah! He’s done great things!
VERSE 3:
I see a king
Throwing a wedding feast
Inviting the poor and least
In the name of love
I see a king
Laughing with great delight
Sharing the finest wine
He’s the name of love!
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Soon the day, soon the day
Soon the day, soon the day
No more sickness, no more tears, no pain
Soon the day, he will reign forever
Soon the day, soon the day
Soon the day, soon the day
No more sickness, no more tears, no pain
I see a king, his reign will be, forever

VERSE 1:
Jesus if I'm honest now
My faith is skin and bones
I can hardly pray to you
I need a miracle
Jesus I cry
Hear me from the shadows
VERSE 2:
I admit I'm numb to feel
Your breath within my lungs
I confess I seldom drink
Deep from your springs of love
Jesus I cry
Hear me from my shadows

Jesus look on my weakness
Tell me your promise
Never giving up on me
Grace when my grip is failing
I hold to you barely
But you're holding fast to me
VERSE 3:
Only you take desert lands
And cause the river's flow
Only you fill barren hearts
With faith love and hope
Jesus I cry
Bring the joy of new life

And even when all is darkness
Oh Jesus you're holding fast to me
Even when I can't see you
And even when I don't feel you
My Jesus you're holding fast to me
CHORUS 2:
Jesus look on my weakness
Tell me your promise
Never giving up on me
Grace when my grip is failing
I hold to you barely
But you're holding fast to me
You are faithful to the unfaithful
I'm humbled and grateful
That you're holding fast to me
OUTRO
I need you O I need you
Every hour I need you
I need you every hour
I come to you
I need you O I need you
Every hour I need you
I need you every hour
I come

Rending the cover of night

Wait for the Lord, our rest and reward and our peace

He has overcome

VERSE 1:
I was an orphan
Out in the cold
Till you came and sought me
To love and adopt me
And give me a home
Now I got a Father
And you'll never leave
I know forever
All of your favor
Is following me
CHORUS:
Hallelujah praise your name
You're my shepherd
Sun or rain
Everywhere you lead
It's good to be
Held in your grace
When I'm weak
You are strong
So I will sing
All day long
Everywhere you lead
It's good to be
Where I belong
VERSE 2
I was a castaway
Wrecked by the sea
It felt like a prison
But you had a mission
For rescuing me
Now I got a Captain
Commanding the waves
Surely your mercy
And goodness are with me
For all of my days
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
It's good to be
It's good to be
It''s good to be where I belong
It's good to be
It's good to be
It''s good to be
VERSE 3:
You were in majesty
Forever enthroned
Oh what a story
You traded your glory
For poverty's robes
You crowned me with riches
You robbed my disgrace
Morning by morning
I'll never be wanting
Till I see your face
CHORUS

And behold from the tomb I now arise

My scars proclaim a new age has begun
And my arm brings the breaking of the dawn

Let every heart sing
All will be well
Let every lung breathe
All will be well
I'm alive I have won
See the grave I overcome
Joy is rising up forever
VERSE 3:
Don't fear my presence makes the shadows flee
I am here the head of darkness beneath my feet
Dry your tears morning comes to mend your grief

All will be well
It's only just begun
All will be well

Let every lung breathe
All will be well

Tender and mighty
How can it be?
Robed in the heavens
Yet lowly with me
Strong as the thunder
Soft as the rain
Father of the wonders
Child of our pain

A lion and a lamb
Gentle in mercy, loving us fiercely
Oh what a friend
Tender and mighty
Rise like the dawn
Banish the darkness, fend for the hopeless

From blood in our lands
Rock us as infants
Our rock of defense
Sing to us sweetly
Like mother and child
Strengthen our weak knees
Whisper your pow’r

May your pow’r and love
Blazing as the sun
Fill the earth as in heaven
May your kingdom come
May your will be done
Here on earth as in heaven
May your pow’r and love
Blazing as the sun
Fill the earth as in heaven
CHORUS 2
Tender and mighty
A lion and a lamb
Gentle in mercy, loving us fiercely
