147. YOU ARE EXALTED
(Verse 1)
You are exalted, Lord, above all else
We place you on the highest place
Above all else
Right now where we stand
And everywhere we go
We place You on the highest place
So the world will know
(Chorus)
You are a mighty warrior
Dressed in armor of light
Crushing the deeds of darkness
Lead us on in the fight
Through the blood of Jesus
Victorious we stand
We place You on the highest place
Above all else in this land
148. YOU ARE THE SONG THAT I
SING
You are the words and the music
You are the song that I sing
You are the melody
You are the harmony
Praise to your name I will bring

You are the King of all kings
So now I give back to you
The song that you gave to me
You are the song that I sing

PRAISE

I will give You all my worship
I will give You all my praise
You alone I long to worship
You alone are worthy of my praise
I will bow down, hail You as King
I will serve You, give You everything

I will trust You
I will trust You alone

143. WE SHALL ASSEMBLE
We shall assemble on the mountain
We shall assemble at the throne
With humble hearts into His presence
We bring an offering of song
(Chorus - women echo)
Glory and honor and dominion
Unto the Lamb, unto the King
Oh Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We sing the song of the redeemed
And at the end of our journey
We shall bow down on bended knee
And with the angels up in heaven
We’ll sing the song of victory
CHORUS
144. WE WILL GLORIFY
We will glorify the King of kings
We will glorify the Lamb
We will glorify the Lord of lords
Who is the great I AM
Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty
We will bow before His throne

We will worship Him alone

He is Lord of all who live
He is Lord above the universe
All praise to Him we give
Hallelujah to the King of kings
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Lord of lords
Who is the great I AM

145. WHO AM I
Who am I that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I
That the bright and morning star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wand’ring heart
(Bridge)
Not because of who I am
But because of what You’ve done
Not because of what I’ve done
But because of who You are
(Chorus)
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I’m calling
Lord You catch me when I’m falling
And You’ve told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I that the voice
That calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Your light broke through my night
Restored exceeding joy
Your grace fell like the rain
And made this desert live
(Chorus)
You have turned
My mourning into dancing
You have turned
My sorrow into joy
You have turned
My mourning into dancing
You have turned
My sorrow into joy
Your hand lifted me up
I stand on higher ground
Your praise rose in my heart
And made this valley sing
CHORUS

(This is how we overcome)
This is how we overcome
(This is how we overcome)
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
This is how we overcome
134. THIS IS THE DAY
This is the day, this is the day
That the Lord has made
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
And be glad in it, and be glad in it
This is the day
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, this is the day
That the Lord has made

Remember not
The sins of my youth…

Yea, let none that wait
On Thee be ashamed…

I need you Lord in all I do
You’re always there to see me through
I can’t get by unless I lean on you Lord
(Chorus – women echo)
The Lord has a will and I have a need
To follow that will, to humbly be still
(unison) To rest in it, nest in it
Fully be blessed in it
Following my Father’s will
Your law of love is in my heart
You wrote it there, it won’t depart
It lights my way
And keeps me out of the dark

I thank you Lord, Your word is sown
Into my life and there it’s grown
Its roots go deep
Where living waters are known

THE LORD

Great is thy faithfulness
The Lord is my portion says my soul
Therefore I will hope in Him

There is beyond the azure blue
A God concealed from human sight
He tinted skies with heav'nly hue
And framed the worlds

In Him we live and we survive
(men echo)
From dust our created man
He is our God, the great I Am

Keep His commandments
This is the vict’ry
A truth that overcomes the world
2. A NEW ANOINTING
This is the season for a new anointing
This is the season for a fresh outpouring
That the sons and daughters
Of the King of glory may arise and shine
That the sons and daughters
Of the King of glory may arise and shine
(Chorus)
As we declare
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice I will rejoice
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day this is a day
This is the day that the Lord has made

Every son and daughter
Of the King of glory now arise and shine
Every son and daughter
Of the King of glory now arise and shine
CHORUS
130. THE LORD THY GOD
(Women echo)
The Lord thy God In the midst of thee
Is mighty, is mighty
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee
Is mighty, is mighty

He is the God that we should know
Who speaks from His inspired word
Let Your glory fill the earth
Let Your glory fill the earth
Let Your glory fill the earth
Let Your glory fill the earth
CHORUS
CHORUS
And I saw Him high and lifted up
With power and grace
And authority, authority
And He shall reign in the midst of thee
Forever and ever, Amen
Our God, whose Son upon a tree
A life was willing there to give
That He from sin might set man free
And evermore with Him could live
King of glory fill the earth
King of glory fill the earth
King of glory fill the earth
King of glory fill the earth

3. ABOVE ALL
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure
What You’re worth
Crucified laid behind a stone
You lived to die rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all
4. ABOVE ALL ELSE
(Verse 1)
You are exalted, Lord
Above all else
We place You at the highest place
Above all else
Right now where we stand
And ev’rywhere we go
We place You at the highest place
So the world will know
(Chorus)
You are a mighty warrior
Dressed in armor of light
Crushing the deeds of darkness
Lead us on in the fight
Through the blood of Jesus
Victorious we stand
We place You
At the highest place
Above all else in this land

(Alto)
Love one another for love is of God
He who loves is born
Of God and knows God
He who does not love
Does not know God
For God is love, God is love

Believes all things
Love hopes all things
Endures all things
(Tenor)
God is love, God is love, God is love…

72. IF YOU SAY GO
(Chorus)
If you say go we will go
If you say wait we will wait
If you say step out on the water
And they say it can’t be done
We will fix our eyes on you
And we will come
Your ways (Your ways)
Are higher than our ways
And the plans that You have laid
Are good and true
If You call us to the fire
You will not withdraw Your hand
We’ll gaze into the flames
And look for You
CHORUS
73. IN MOMENTS LIKE THESE
In moments like these, I sing out a song
I sing out a love song to Jesus
In moments like these I lift up my voice
I lift up my voice to the Lord
Singing I love you, Lord
Singing I love you, Lord
Singing I love you, Lord, I love you
74. IN YOUR NAME
(sing each verse twice;
second time tenors sing descant)
In Your name there is peace and love
There is hope and trust
And strength from above
In Your name there is faith and truth
You have blessed us with life
In Your name
(Tenor descant 1)
Praise to the Father, the author of love
Praise to the Son, sent down from above
Praise to the Spirit, inspirer of truth
You have blessed us with life
In Your name
In Your name we can ask and seek
When we knock You’re there
Even when we are weak
In Your name there is comfort sweet
You have blessed us with life
In Your name
(Tenor descant 2)
Praise to the Father
Whose ways I will seek
Praise to the Son who set me free
Praise to the Spirit who lives inside me
You have blessed us with life
In Your name
75. JESUS
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus in the morning
Jesus at the noontime
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus when the sun goes down
Love Him...
61. I BELONG TO JESUS
(Chorus)
I belong to Jesus, I belong to Him
I belong to Jesus, free from sin
I belong to Jesus, I belong to Him
I belong to Jesus, free from sin
63. I JUST WANT TO BE WHERE
YOU ARE
I just want to be where You are
Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don’t want to worship from afar
Draw me near to where You are
(Women echo)
He was lifted up
He paid a costly price
He bought me with the blood
Of His own life
Christ the King now reigning
He wears a victor’s crown
Satan was defeated
When the blood flowed down
(Chorus)
I want to be where You are
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
Surrounded by Your glory
In Your presence
That’s where I always want to be
I just want to be
I just want to be with You
CHORUS
I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place where You are
I just want to be with You
People we are free from sin
62. I HAVE DECIDED
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, no turning back
Though none go with me
Still I will follow…
The cross before me
The world behind me…
My cross I’ll carry
Till I see Jesus…
Will you decide now
To follow Jesus…
Serve Him...
CHORUS
64. I LOVE YOU LORD
I love You Lord and I lift my voice
To worship You, Oh my soul rejoice
Take joy my King in what You hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear
I love You Lord and I lift my hands
To worship You as my soul demands
Take joy my King in what You see
Let me be a sweet, sweet child
On Your knee
I love You Lord, and I lift my life
To worship You, whether peace or strife
Take joy my King in what You see
Let me be a sweet sacrifice unto Thee
Praise Him…

(Chorus)
I need You more
More than yesterday
I need You Lord
More than words can say
I need You more than ever before
I need You Lord, I need You Lord
67. I WANT JESUS TO WALK
WITH ME
I want Jesus to walk with me
I want Jesus to walk with me
All along life’s pilgrim journey
I want Jesus to walk with me
69. I’M HAPPY TODAY
I’m happy today
Oh yes I’m happy today
In Jesus Christ I’m happy today
Because He’s taken all my sins away
And that’s why I’m happy today
In my trials, He’ll stand by me...
I’m singing today...
More than the air I breathe
More than the song I sing
More than the next heartbeat
More than anything
And Lord as time goes by
I will be by Your side
‘Cause I never want to go back
To my old life
When I’m lonely, He’ll stand by me...
I’m praying today...
I love Jesus and He loves me...
I’m loving today…
68. I WILL CALL UPON THE LORD
(Women echo)
I will call upon the Lord
Who is worthy to be praised
So shall I be saved from mine enemies
70. I’VE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH
CHRIST
I’ve been crucified with Christ
Nevertheless I live
Yet not I, but Christ, liveth in me
And the life that I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God
Who loved me and gave Himself for me
CHORUS
66. I STAND IN AWE OF YOU
You are beautiful beyond description
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension
Like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depth of Your love
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty enthroned above
And I stand, I stand in awe of You
I stand, I stand in awe of You
Holy God to whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of You

(Chorus)
The Lord liveth and blessed be the rock
And let the God of my salvation
Be exalted
The Lord liveth and blessed be the rock
And let the God of my salvation
Be exalted
(Women echo)
Jesus Christ, He died for me
And He took away my sins
I will live with Him for eternity
71. I’VE BEEN REDEEMED
(Women echo)
I’ve been redeemed
By the blood of the Lamb
I’ve been redeemed
By the blood of the Lamb
I’ve been redeemed
By the blood of the Lamb
Filled with the Holy Ghost I am
All my sins are washed away
I’ve been redeemed
Well I went down to the river to pray
Well I went down to the river to pray
Well I went down to the river to pray
Felt so good that I stayed all day
All my sins are washed away
I’ve been redeemed
And that’s not all, there’s more besides
And that’s not all, there’s more besides
And that’s not all, there’s more besides
I’ve been to the river
And I’ve been baptized
All my sins are washed away
I’ve been redeemed
Now the devil and me, we both agree
Now the devil and me, we both agree
Now the devil and me, we both agree
I don’t like him and he don’t like me
All my sins are washed away
I’ve been redeemed
CHORUS
I will call upon the Lord
