The Unseen

Verse 1
When circled from every side
When pressured and put to flight
Don't stumble or come undone
For we are not left alone

Verse 2
When swallowed in depths of doubt
When troubled and trampled down
Daughter, do not despair
Son, he won't leave you there

Chorus
So lift up your eyes to the unseen
This sorrow won't last and heaven won't fade away
So lift up your eyes to the unseen
For this will all pass - our home is for ever sure

Verse 3
And so we will not lose heart
Though outwards we waste away
In Christ we are being made new
Refined for that glorious day

Bridge
From darkness His light has shone
In Christ see the glory of God

The Lord Is Good To Me

Verse 1
Help me never trust in vain
All the treasures hands have made
Riches all will rust and fade
None endure beyond the grave
You alone can satisfy
Every longing of my heart
Let me taste and let me see
That the Lord is good to me
That the Lord is good to me

Verse 2
Let me seek no man’s acclaim
Listen to no devil’s lies
Hold no hope in shallow fame
Disregard my selfish pride
Tune my heart to sing Your praise
Turn my gaze from worlds desires
That my joy will ever be
That the Lord is good to me
That the Lord is good to me

Verse 3
Seal my heart for You alone
Set my feet upon Your Way
Steel my soul to persevere
Fix my eyes towards your face
Fill my lungs, O Breath of Life
From my lips let joy arise
Let my song forever be
That the Lord is good to me
That the Lord is good to me

Better By Far

Verse 1
All that once was profit I'll count as naught
Knowing You is better by far
View as worthless now all my heart once sought
Knowing You is better by far
These I'll cast away so that I may gain
And be found in You, in Your love remain
Dressed in righteousness come from God, by faith
Knowing You is better by far
Knowing You is better by far

Verse 2
I will leave behind every ease and right
Knowing You is better by far
And will press ahead to receive the prize
Knowing You is better by far
With my eyes above, not to earthly things
With an eager hope of what heaven brings
In the sovereign power of my Saving King
Knowing You is better by far
Knowing You is better by far

Bridge
To live is Christ
To die is gain
So come rejoice in Christ our Saviour
To live is Christ
To die is gain
So come rejoice

Verse 3
Grant me certain hope in a future sure
Knowing You is better by far
And for trials today, courage to endure
Knowing You is better by far
If my life's poured out like an offering
I will still rejoice, of my Saviour, sing
Till I dwell with You in eternity
Knowing You is better by far
Knowing You is better by far

Tag
Let my only boast be in You my King
Knowing You is better by far

Verse 1
Christ, by nature God
Did not pursue this gain
But in the form of man
A servant He became
Obedient till the end
To death upon a cross

Exalted to the highest place
Bestowed the name above all names
That every knee in heaven and earth
Would humbly fall, would humbly fall
Come every tongue - confess, adore
That Jesus Christ alone is Lord
To God the Father be all praise
Forever more, forever more

Verse 2
If any hope is our
Or comfort from His love
Then make this joy complete
Of heart and spirit be one
Uphold each others needs
Have the mind of Christ the Son

Verse 3
With Christ at work in you
With fear and trembling strive
To will and walk His ways
To live for His delight
In the darkness shine like stars
Holding out the word of Christ

Lift up your voice

Declare His praise

You Alone

Verse 1
You alone could light the heavens
Speak, and form the universe
Every grain and galaxy
Abiding by Your word
You alone deserve all glory
In one anthem, joyfully raised
Every language, every tongue
Resounding in Your praise

Chorus
Every nation needs to know
There's salvation in Your name alone
For Your kingdom we must go
To all of the earth, all of the earth

Verse 2
You alone could ransom sinners
No one else could pay such price
Give for love Your perfect life
In humble sacrifice
You alone have conquered darkness
Death no longer wields its sting
Raised in power to reign forever
Jesus, King of Kings

Verse 3
You alone restore the broken
Through the weak display Your power
Strengthen us to persevere
Equip us for this hour
Christ alone our ceaseless message
Grace and peace our overflow
Surely You are always with us
Jesus, we will go

“Behold, the tomb is bare
The man you seek isnʼt there
He has risen
Death could not hold him down
Sinʼs curse has now been bound
He has risen

And death now has no sting
New life is found in him

For Jesus has risen
Our Saviour is alive
Jesus has risen
Sing praise to him on high
He has risen

And though we stood condemned
His blood has made amends
He has risen
And every tongue will proclaim
The name above every name
He has risen”

“We will exalt Your name, O God
We will rejoice in what Youʼve done
That one so high should come so low
Resolved to die so all can know

In Christ, Your love has overflowed
The debts we owed have been all wiped away
And now, the riches of Your grace
Have raised us up to live in Him always
And bring You praise

Weʼve been created in Your Son
To do good works You have prepared
To serve the poor, the captives - free
To be Your light, that all may see

The Church of Christ to love as one
Display Your Kingdom, now begun
To serve the poor, the captives - free
To be Your light, that all may see”

Prince of Peace

Verse 1
Do you feel
The burden of your shame?
That every thought and deed
Still by sin is stained
Do you know
Your debt is fully paid?
On Jesus’ shoulders laid
Bear that weight no more

Pre- Chorus
So no longer walk in darkness
The light has dawned
Unto us a Son is given
A child is born

Chorus
Come behold Him now
Jesus King of Kings
He has conquered death
And reconciled all things
Through his life laid down
Every war will cease
Every knee will bow
For the Prince of Peace
Every knee will bow
For the Prince of Peace

Verse 2
Do you see
With suff’ring’s faded hue
Does sorrow whisper through
Every night and day?
Lift your cry
The one who share shares your pain
Is coming soon again
Rest your hope in Him

Once stood condemned in our futile fight
But now we are clothed in the love of Christ
Humbled and holy in God's sight

O Praise The Son

 Verse 1
Who can stand before such a holy God?
In the threadbare clothes of our own design
All our finest deeds naught but filthy rags
Every striving stained by sin
O praise the Son who has borne our shame
Wore a purple robe and a twisted crown
In the whitest linen now we're found
Covered in His righteousness

Verse 2
From our Father's riches we ran away
Fallen hearts enthralled by the world’s allure
Held to ransom by every vain desire
With our souls enslaved to sin
O praise the Son, precious Lamb of God
Who receives us home with his outstretched arms
Now from sin set free, to Him redeemed
Sons and daughters bought by blood

Verse 3
Though our feeble frames fail and waste away
Know that day by day we are being renewed
Every grief and pain light and momentary
With eternity in view
Oh praise the Son who has overcome
The despair of death no longer reigns
Come and lift your gaze to see that day
When He makes all things anew

Almighty God, did not withhold his Son

If our God is for us
Who then can stand against

Chorus
For in all these things
We are more than conquerers
Through the love of Christ
Raised from death to life
Yes, of this I'm sure
None can separate us now
From the love of God
That is ours in Jesus Christ our Lord

Verse 2
Who can bring charges against God's child?
Who can condemn us now
Those he has justified
Christ who died, in victory raised to life
Intercedes for us now at God's right side

Bridge
Neither ocean's depths
Nor mountain's heights
Can separate us now
Neither demon's lies nor angels lights

Can separate us now

I Will Boast In Christ Alone

Verse 1
You stepped into this mess
You took on flesh to dwell with us
Your glory set aside
To serve Your Father’s will
Obedient to death
You hung upon a sinners tree

The ransom paid to set us free

Chorus
So I will boast in Christ alone
Give all I am for His acclaim
Count my riches all as loss
That I might magnify His name
Every claim and crown
Father tear them down
That I might boast in Christ

Verse 2
How could I boast in strength
My flesh is weak, my courage fails
My finest deeds still bear
The scars of all my sin
So I will trust in Christ
His life laid down, the lost to save
I will not hope in vain
For He has risen from the grave

Bridge
Let the wise not boast in wisdom
Let the strong not boast in strength
Let the rich not boast in riches
But boast in Christ instead

“See the man
Formed by the Father’s hand
Dust turned to flesh
Filled with his breath
In the image of God
Loved and blessed
Given the very best
Destined to rule,
Fill and subdue all of the earth
But death entered the day
He ate from the tree
Condemned all of mankind
To follow his lead
But one day a man will come
And undo what he had done
One day a Saviour will return

See the man
Leaving his father’s land
Sent by the Lord
Journeys towards
A promised place
By his faith
Would come a nation great
In numbers surpassed
All of the stars
Shining in space
His name would be renowned
From the east to the west
And all people on earth
Through him would be blessed
And one day a man will come
To finish what had begun
One day a Saviour would return

See the man
Come from his Father’s side
His word become flesh
And all his fullness
Dwelling in him
Godʼs delight
Speaking the words of life
The Kingdomʼs revealed
The broken are healed
The blind given sight
And for all historyʼs sin
The righteous is slain
By his blood, death is defeated
Heʼs risen again
And soon he will come again
And then forever reign
One day our Saviour will return”

Set aside a place in heaven

When my heart was turned against You
And You loved me
Even though my eyes were blind

Led me by the hand
Made Yourself be known
Let me understand forgiveness
That comes from You

Oh Lord You are worthy of all praise
Oh Lord oh Lord

Through Your Son I am forgiven
And You love me
