Guest of the Poor
04:51
|
|||
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

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

10. |
||||
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

Lift Your Eyes
04:14
|
|||
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
