Song Lyrics
Stand In Your Love
[verse] When darkness tries to roll over my bones. When sorrow comes to steal the joy I own. When brokenness and pain is all I know. I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken.
[chorus] ’Cause my fear doesn't stand a chance, when I stand in Your love. My fear doesn't stand a chance, when I stand in Your love. My fear doesn't stand a chance, when I stand in Your love.
[verse] Shame no longer has a place to hide, and I am not a captive to the lies. I’m not afraid to leave my past behind. Oh, I won't be shaken, no, I won't be shaken
[bridge] There’s power that can break off every chain. There’s power that can empty out a grave. There’s resurrection power that can save. There’s power in Your name, power in Your name.
What a Beautiful Name
[verse] You were the Word at the beginning. One with God the Lord Most High. Your hidden glory in creation, now revealed in You our Christ.
[Chorus] What a beautiful Name it is. What a beautiful Name it is. The Name of Jesus Christ my King. What a beautiful Name it is. Nothing compares to this. What a beautiful Name it is. The Name of Jesus
[Verse] You didn't want heaven without us, so Jesus You brought heaven down. My sin was great Your love was greater. What could separate us now
[Chorus] What a wonderful Name it is. What a wonderful Name it is. The Name of Jesus Christ my King. What a wonderful Name it is. Nothing compares to this. What a wonderful Name it is. The Name of Jesus. What a wonderful Name it is. The Name of Jesus
[Bridge] Death could not hold You. The veil tore before You. You silence the boast of sin and grave. The heavens are roaring. The praise of Your glory. For You are raised to life again. You have no rival. You have no equal. Now and forever God You reign. Yours is the kingdom. Yours is the glory. Yours is the Name above all names.
[Chorus] What a powerful Name it is. What a powerful Name it is. The Name of Jesus Christ my King. What a powerful Name it is. Nothing can stand against. What a powerful Name it is. The Name of Jesus.
Summer Songs: 103
Psalm 103
1 Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. 2 Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. [NIV: forget not all his benefits]
[Healing My Soul & Body]
3 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. 4 He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. 5 He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!
[Justice For The Oppressed]
6 The Lord gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly. 7 He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel.
[Love & Grace]
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. 9 He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain angry forever. 10 He does not punish us for all our sins; he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve. 11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. 12 He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.
[We Are Dust]
13 The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. 14 For he knows how weak we are; he remembers we are only dust. 15 Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. 16 The wind blows, and we are gone - as though we had never been here. 17 But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children’s children. 18 of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments!
[Declaration of God’s Power & Glory]
19 The Lord has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules over everything. 20 Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. 21 Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will! 22 Praise the Lord, everything he has created, everything in all his kingdom. Let all that I am praise the Lord.
