traditional lyrics
3.
The Guest of the poor came to me I found I could not let Him in Poor as I was I was a miser of sin My Hands, they were rich in blood And my mind, it was rich in lies So I wallow now in a wealth of mud Yet the Guest will wait for me The Head of the mourners passed by His face was lit with joy And a song rose from the chorus behind They danced even as they cried The Shepherd of the meek led them on Gentle were His hands and His eyes When one fell down He lifted them up And carried them besides The carrier of water sat near A glance He drew from a few But one or two to Him they flew And gulped His pure waters anew The Healer of mercy reached out His touch was that of a child I wondered again that He would feel The wounds of a leper's skin The Teacher of peace walked among Proclaiming light to the dark I listened and knew beyond reason or thought He spoke of what He knew The Lord of the persecuted cried out From His mouth came water and blood And it was there that I first understood Here was one who really loved The Guest of the poor returned I fell on my knees at His feet I emptied my heart, and I Gave Him my life For I recognized Him as my King The King of pure hearts knelt beside Embraced me as one of His own Now I dance with the mourners, am led with the meek And I welcome Him into my home

Your Grace 03:42
Lord I come before Thee full of fear Though I'm so unworthy, I'm standing here Now that I'm so empty, I come to You There is nothing that I have left to prove When I look at my heart, I wonder why Why You love so deeply what I despise You gave up Your own life so I might live Still I can't forgive myself as You forgive Chorus: Your grace can reach the deepest part of me Your grace can change my heart and set me free And I... there's nothing I can do to keep You From loving me Only when my strength is completely gone In Your grace I find I am truly strong Even though there's no light within this heart Your love shines more brightly in the dark Chorus Your grace and love have been a mystery to me You loved me as I am, and not as I should be And I... there's nothing I can do to keep You From loving me

Reaping Joy 04:11
Laborers sowing tears Will reap with songs of joy Their mouths will be filled with laughter Yet matted once tangled with lies Right and wrong seem hopelessly disguised When will my soul heart find its ties Chorus: Abba, Abba, Papa God, I sing Good Shepherd, lead my heart Seek the little lost and broken Their frailty acts as a token In their loneliness they find a Comforter Do not be afraid my child Though your thoughts and emotions seem out of control Let my tears plant a harvest in your heart Cast away dearest dreams and watch them grow Every day I need the courage To see life in slow motion Learning a servant's heart Chorus

traditional verse lyrics Chorus: Streams of Mercy, wash over me Seal my heart, Lord, all for Thee

As I Kneel 05:22
I love You Jesus Healer I see the mercy deep in Your eyes And know I'm longing to be whole More than I can say I'm yearning to be undividedly Yours Body and soul I have touched Your robe and felt Your power flowing through me So what is it that keeps me from belonging to You truly Chorus But as I kneel and cling to You I know that I can be made new So take me Lord, I'm ready now I'll go with You, please show me how Jesus, precious Child of mine I used to hold You close in my arms And sing You to sleep But now I hold Your lifeless form And even though I'm blinded by tears I finally see I remember Your first step, and now I realize That each and every step You took was leading me to life Chorus Every time I close my eyes I see the nail go into Your hands And I know I'm alone But when I look inside my soul I see Your fingerprints on my life And my hope is not gone Kneeling by Your empty tomb, I hear You speak my name Your holy scars remove all traces of my shame Chorus Jesus living Lord, strain me to Your heart I know that I am free, only in Your arms Free

In my distress I called to the Lord And He listened, yes He listened to my prayer From the depths of the grave I called to the Lord And He answered, yes You answered my prayer You hurdled me into the deep Into the very heart of the sea And the waves rolled around me The waves rolled around my head and I said Pull me deeper (6x) I said I have been banished from Your side But I will call to You And I will look towards Your holy temple I will cry out To the roots of the mountains I sank down Into the very heart of the sea And the waves rolled around me But You pulled my life from the grave, O my God When my life was sinking away I remembered You You pulled my life up from the grave So I will call to You Those who cling to worthless idols Forfeit the grace Forfeit the grace that could be theirs So I will call to You But I with a song of thanksgiving, I will sacrifice Salvation belongs to the Lord (4x) Pull me deeper (4x) All Your waves and breakers have swept over me
11.
He's here, He's always here He's near, so very near And bigger than eternity is His love for You So look right next to you He's there, I know it's true He's also in the faces of the people who you love Chorus: So lift Your eyes and look into His face In Him you'll find an everlasting grace Reach out your arms to Him, He'll lift you up And you will find that He's enough Your soul, your every part He knows, He knows by heart His love can reach the deepest end of the darkest place you hold There is no greater prize Than knowing Jesus Christ And all the pain and suffering is worth just knowing Him Chorus Do you know He's really there Or just how much He really cares for you Through and through Do you know how much you're prized By the creator of the skies By Him, by the Christ Are you weak or weighed down Are you looking at the ground Chorus / Lift your eyes (2x) And bigger than eternity is His love for you
