JESUS LORD BE GLORIFIED

El Shaddai, Almighty Savior

Adonai, our risen Lord

As we wait before Your Presence

Bind our hearts in one accord.

Jesus, You alone are worthy

From our spirits we lift praise

Come in fullness Holy Spirit

Let our worship be ablaze.

REFRAIN

Come Almighty to deliver

By Your Spirit sanctified

So in body, soul and spirit

Jesus, Lord be glorified!

THE SOLDIER'S BATTLE SCARS

The Soldier stood before the Captain of the Guard

The wounded lay between the living and the dead

The battlefield was marked by stains of blood from war

Now only memories follow those still left on shore.

Their graves are marked with epitaphs on marbled stone,

And every year the tears still fall in silent groans

The Purple Heart was his, not ours to hold with pride

He is the hero in the grave who fought and died!

The Captain of the Guard then spoke in accent clear

“Where did you go when bugle called to face the foe?”

One Soldier, trembling answered, that he ran away

He was afraid of fatal wounds or scars that day.

Just then there flashed across the Eastern sky, a Cross,

The scars of Battle could be seen on hands and side

The Captain bore those wounds in love for you and me

So through His death enslaved mankind could be set free.

We are the Soldiers that are called to fight the Foe

It is for each to use the Sword while here below

The question that disturbs and moves my heart by far

Is what we'll tell Him if we have no wound or scar!

AWAKEN OUR HEARTS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86y-WUQuv_k

As we come into your presence

Sensing guilt and shameful pride

Melt our cold, unyielding spirits

Burn the dross we feel inside.

We desire heart-felt worship

Offering praise to you alone

So these worldly cares that bind us

Can be freed before your throne.

Lord, to you we lift our praises

Awaken our hearts

By the fire of devotion

Fill the church through all its parts

And our heart-felt worship

Offering praise to you alone.

One in body, soul and spirit

We lift holy hands in praise

Offering you our love in worship

Jesus, Lord our voices raise.

We desire heart-felt worship

Offering praise to you alone

So these worldly cares that bind us

Can be freed before your throne.

Lord, to you we lift our praises

Awaken our hearts

By the fire of devotion

Fill the church through all its parts

And our heart-felt worship

Offering praise to you alone.

This fellowship he gave us

To restore and preach His Word

Christ, He is our source of comfort

Alone for you, our hearts are stirred.

We desire heart-felt worship

Offering praise to you alone

So these worldly cares that bind us

Can be freed before your throne.

Lord, to you we lift our praises

Awaken our hearts

By the fire of devotion

Fill the church through all its parts

And our heart-felt worship

Offering praise to you alone.
 (Ben Pent & Josee Weigand)

HEART-FELT WORSHIP

Teach me Lord, to freely worship

From a pure and contrite heart

So the radiance of Your glory

May fill every yielded part.

Bowing in Your holy presence

Lord, I long to see Your face

So each worldly thought that hinders

May find cleansing by Your grace.

Holy is the ground I stand on

Lifting hands I bring You praise

May the gift of true devotion

Crown Your name through endless days.

RERAIN

Jesus, Lord be lifted higher

Holy, holy is Your name

Heaven and earth reveals Your glory

Through eternity proclaim.
