Sacrifice of Praise

Lyrics

~You Carry Me~

HIGH AND HIGHER STILL
You are great. We are small.
You are high. We have fallen
far from perfection's mark,
How we need Your saving grace.
You are wise. We are fools.
You see all. We are blinded.
Stumbling along our way,
How we need Your guiding light.

Looking up we can see Your arms spread
clear across the sky
Taller than any mountains rise
You tower and You climb.

(CHORUS)
You are high and higher still, oh God.
You are lifted up, far above the earth.
You are high and higher still, oh God.
You are lifted up, far beyond where eyes can see,
Far beyond where eyes can see.

You are kind. We are cruel.
You forgive. We're unyielding.
Wanting it all our way,
How we need Your selfless love.
You are strong. We are weak.
You prevail. We are broken.
Out on our own we fail.
How we need Your mighty power.

Looking up we can see Your arms spread
clear across the sky
Taller than any mountains rise
You tower and You climb

(REPEAT CHORUS)

I HAD NO IDEA
I had no idea who You were when I met You,
And I had no idea why You'd come.
I had no idea that You died just to save me,
And I had no idea what You'd done.
Everything You sacrificed,
You gave up willingly.
Your torn and broken body bled for me.
Then rose in victory.

(CHORUS)
I lift my hands in praise to You.
I sing a song of thanks to You,
For all that You have done,
For all that You have done.
I lift my hands in praise to You.
I glorify and worship You,
For all that You are,
For all that You are.
And I praise You,
And I thank You Lord.

I had no idea just how much I would love You,
And I had no idea how I'd change.
I had no idea all the places You'd take me,
And I had no idea what I'd gain.
Lord I just want You to know,
How much You mean to me.
You changed my life, my whole reality.
You're everything to me.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

MORE THAN ANYTHING
(Dedicated to Kathy Berka-A woman after God's own heart)

Jesus, how I long to be near You.
Draw me nearer still.
Till I hear the sound of Your heart beat,
And I know Your will.

Jesus, I just want to be faithful.
Show me what to do.
How I need Your strength and Your wisdom.
Make me more like You.

This is my desire, to learn how You love.
This is my desire, to go where You lead.
This is my desire, to know all You hold in Your heart,
And I pray You'd create within me…

(CHORUS)
A passion to love and a passion to live,
A passion to serve and a passion to give,
A passion for those who are lost in their sin,
This is my heart,
This is my wish,
That I would love You more than anything,
That I would love You more than anything.

SEARCH ME, O GOD
Search me, O God
Look deep within
Show me the ways that I am giving in to sin.
Wash me again,
Clean out my heart.
Pour out Your presence, Lord and grant me a new start.
I have failed You, my God
In Your mercy and love
Change me now, Holy Lord,
by the power of Your blood.

Oh, the blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
Oh, the blood of Jesus
It washes white as snow.

Jesus, my Lord
How can this be
That You would give Your life
To save someone like me?
But here I am
Bathed in Your love,
Clothed in Your righteousness
And covered by Your blood.
I am clean once again
I'm forgiven of sin.
I am changed from within, by the power of Your blood.

SHOW ME YOUR GLORY
In the book of Exodus chapter 33, Moses said these words,
If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.
And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."
Then in vs 18, Moses says a very bold thing, "Now show me your glory."
And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. " And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. And Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped.

Show me Your Glory, Lord.
Oh how I long to see Your face.
Show me Your Glory, Lord.
Draw me into Your holy place.

Let Your goodness pass before me.
Let me hear Your voice proclaim.
All the fullness of Your nature.
and the power of Your name.

Show me Your Glory, Lord.
Come and reveal Your perfect ways.
Show me Your Glory, Lord.
Show me Your face.

YOU ARE LORD MOST HIGH
Lord I come into Your presence,
I am here to seek Your face.,
I see all of my disgrace.
And I fall upon this holy ground
And know it's not my place.
Still Your love and grace surround me
And I'm caught in Your embrace.

(CHORUS)
You are holy, holy, holy, You are Lord Most high.
You are God of my salvation.
You are Lord of Life.
And forever I will praise You.
I will live to testify.
You are holy, holy, holy, You are Lord Most high.

I'm surrounded by Your angels,
All the company of heav'n.
And the voices of the faithful
Sing Your praises once again.
As forgiveness flows and Holy Blood
Rains down upon my sin.
I rise up in joy and thankfulness,
In praises without end.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lamb.
Hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lamb.
Hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lamb.
Hallelujah, hallelujah to the Lamb.

FATHER, I BELIEVE
Painted on the canvas of a clear and perfect sky,
Brushstrokes of a masterpiece unveil before my eyes.
Evidence of beauty far superior and wise.
What a lovely surprise,
You have opened my eyes.

(CHORUS)
I believe that You are able.
I believe that You are good.
I believe that every blessing falls exactly where it should.
You are God of inspiration,
And of possibility,
God of every perfect dream.
Father, I believe.

Woven in the fabric of the tapestry of time,
Unfamiliar patterns move together and combine,
Miracles and wonders of the ordinary kind,
Revelations to find,
In a flawless design.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

In signs and wonders and that miracles break through,
When the walls close all around us and there's nothing we can do.
I have seen the awesome power of God and I believe it's true.
I believe.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

HIS NAME IS JESUS
In the beginning was the Word.
And the Word was with God.
And the Word was God.
He spoke and this world came
to be, From the whispering wind,
To the towering trees.
His eyes approved the moonlight and the waves upon the sand.
And all the universe was made according to His plan.

(CHORUS)
Alpha, Omega,
The First and the Last.
God of the future,
The present and past.
Power and glory that cannot be matched.
His Name is Jesus!

Master and teacher,
A trustworthy friend.
Healer, Provider,
The hope of all men.
Savior, Redeemer,
And life without end.
His Name is Jesus!

Jesus, You're everything to me.
You are all that I need,
You're the One that I seek.
Walking beside me every day,
You are taking my hand.
You are leading the way.
You rescued me from darkness and You showered me with light.
You gave me hope and purpose and You gave me a new life.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BECAUSE OF YOU
I'm amazed that You are always seeking me.
I'm astonished I am present in Your dreams,
Holy God, noble King,
I am humbled by a love that runs so deep
And the vows You pledge to keep.

I am overwhelmed You left Your Father's throne
To be cast aside, abandoned and alone
Son of God, Sovereign Lord,
I am stunned You paid for my life with Your own
Gave me hope I'd never known.

For my weaknesses and failures
And the sins that would condemn me
Have been cancelled by Your blood and washed away.

(CHORUS)
I'm forgiven I am free.
I have everything I need.
I am capable and ready for the call You've given me.
I am treasured, I am loved.
I'm accepted, I belong.
I am beautiful and useful in the Kingdom of God
Because of You, my Jesus
All, because of You.

FOR YOU TO BE SEEN IN ME
Lord, I must confess it's true.
Much of what I say and do
Is focused more on me than You.
Forgive my selfish ways.
Build Your holy fire in me.
Let's its flames burn bright and free
Until Your character is seen
And mine just fades away.

(CHORUS)
I lay down my stubborn pride.
Set my childish dreams aside.
And I offer You my life.
I give everything to You.
I lay down my worldly claim
Count it's loss as precious gain
For Your kingdom and Your name
I'd give anything for You to be seen in me.

(BRIDGE)
You must increase, I must decrease
More of You and less of me
Dying to myself so You can come alive in me.

COME, LORD JESUS
Come, Lord Jesus
Come release us
Come unleash Your power and lay out Your design

Come and fill us
Come and free us
Come accomplish everything that You desire

As we push ourselves aside
And we throw the windows wide
As we run to embrace You, Lord

HEAVEN'S NOT SO FAR AWAY
How can I begin to describe
The pain that I am feeling and the loneliness inside
And how can I begin to describe
The endless tears I'm crying and the sleepless nights
There's a brokenness I've never known before
And a longing to go home forevermore

How can I begin to describe
The Holy love that God has poured upon me through this time
How can I begin to describe
The comfort and the strength that has sustained my life
I am holding on to hopefulness and faith
God is leading me and keeping me by grace
And as each and every moment passes by
I can see the day that heaven is mine

(CHORUS)
Heaven's not so far away
And I can hardly wait
Till we're together worshipping our Savior face to face
We will fall upon our knees
In a place where sorrows cease
Together we will lift our voices joyfully in praise
Heaven's not so far away

How can I pretend that I know
The burdens that you carry and the wounds you never show
How can I pretend that I know
The ways that you have suffered on your darkest road
Just keep holding on to hopefulness and faith
God will lead you through and keep you by His grace
And as each and every moment passes by
Just remember you'll see heaven in time

(REPEAT CHORUS)

YOU CARRY ME
When I walk through the fire,
When the flood waters rise,
You are here, I will not be afraid.
In the heart of my grief,
When I can hardly breathe,
I believe You will show me the way.

I can feel Your arms around me.
I can hear You whisper to me
Tenderly, Your love so deep.

(CHORUS)
You carry me
In Your love.
I am cradled in Your arms.
You carry me
Through the night.
I'm surrounded by Your light.
There is peace in the storm.
I am safe. I am warm.
In Your ever giving, never leaving, ever lasting arms of love.

Faithfully, You are here.
Through the pain, through the fear.
You alone are the strength of my heart.
And I know in this place
I'll come through by Your grace
Ever held in Your loving embrace.

I can see Your hand before me
Mapping out a glimpse of glory
Love so deep
Surrounding me

(REPEAT CHORUS)

How deep, how long, how wide, how high is the love of Christ

(REPEAT CHORUS)
