Song Lyrics
Trust In God
[Verse] Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. He’s been my fourth man in the fire, time after time. Born of His Spirit. Washed in His blood. And what He did for me on Calvary, is more than enough.
[Chorus] I trust in God, my Saviour, the One who will never fail. He will never fail.
[Verse] Perfect submission. All is at rest. I know the author of tomorrow, has ordered my steps. So this is my story, and this is my song. I’m praising my risen King and Saviour, all the day long.
[Bridge] I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. That’s why I trust Him. That’s why I trust Him.
Oceans
[Verse] You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find You in the mystery. In oceans deep my faith will stand.
[Chorus] And I will call upon Your name. And keep my eyes above the waves, When oceans rise. My soul will rest in Your embrace. For I am Yours and You are mine.
[Verse] Your grace abounds in deepest waters. Your sov'reign hand will be my guide. Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me. You’ve never failed and You won't start now.
[Bridge] Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters. Wherever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander. And my faith will be made stronger. In the presence of my Saviour.
New Day: Us With God
Revelation 4
Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast… 2 And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. 3 The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jasper and carnelian. And the glow of an emerald circled his throne like a rainbow. 4 Twenty-four thrones surrounded him, and twenty-four elders sat on them. They were all clothed in white and had gold crowns on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning and the rumble of thunder. And in front of the throne were seven torches with burning flames. This is the sevenfold Spirit of God. 6 In front of the throne was a shiny sea of glass, sparkling like crystal. In the center and around the throne were four living beings…
8 Day after day and night after night they keep on saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.”
9 Whenever the living beings give glory and honor and thanks to the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever), 10 the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say,
11 “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”
The Light of Heaven
Revelation 22:5 …there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them.
Revelation 21:23-26 And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. 24 The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. 25 Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there. 26 And all the nations will bring their glory and honour into the city.
The Sounds of Heaven
Revelation 1:10, 15 Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast… [Jesus’] voice thundered like mighty ocean waves.
Revelation 14:2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together.
Revelation 19:6 “Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder: [saying] “Praise the Lord!…
Isaiah 6:3-4 [The Living creatures] were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!” Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.
Revelation 7:9-10 I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb… And they were shouting with a great roar, “Salvation comes from our God…
Revelation 5:11-12 I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. And they sang in a mighty chorus: “Worthy is the Lamb…
Revelation 4:8 Day after day and night after night [the living beings] keep on saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty”
