Worship Lyrics

+ This Is My Father’s World

This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the wonders wrought

This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise
This is my Father’s world, He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere

This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet
This is my Father’s world: The battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied, and earth and Heav’n be one
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied, and earth and Heav’n be one

+This Joyful Eastertide

This joyful Eastertide, away with sin and sorrow!
My Love, the Crucified, hath sprung to life this morrow.
Had Christ, that once was slain, ne’er burst his three day prison
Our faith has been in vain; but now is Christ arisen.

Death’s flood has lost its chill, since Jesus crossed the river;
Lord of all life, from ill my passing life deliver,
Had Christ, that once was slain, ne’er burst his three day prison
Our faith has been in vain; but now is Christ arisen.

My flesh in hope shall rest, and for a season slumber,
Till trumpets east to west shall wake the dead in number
Had Christ, that once was slain, ne’er burst his three day prison
Our faith has been in vain; but now is Christ arisen.
Arisen! Arisen! Arisen! Arisen!
Arisen! Arisen! Arisen! Arisen!

+Buried In The Grave

There was a day we held our breath
And felt the sting of bitter death
When all our hopes were buried in the grave

Our eyes awake, our hearts were torn
Between our faith and what we knew
Before our King was buried in the grave

Grace was in the tension of everything we've lost
Standing empty handed, shattered by the cross

All we had, all we had was a promise like a thread
Holding us, keeping us, from fraying at the edge
All we knew, all we knew was You said You'd come again
That You'd rise up from the dead

There was a day we looked for proof
That You had risen from the tomb
And all our doubts began to roll away

We touched the scars upon Your hands
You kept Your word, Son of Man
You buried death by taking on the grave

You came here to save us 'cause everything was lost
No longer empty handed, clinging to the cross

All we had, all we had was a promise like a thread
Holding us, keeping us, from fraying at the edge
All we knew, all we knew was You said You'd come again
That You'd rise up from the dead

It is won, it is done
It is won, it is done
It is won, it is done
It is won, it is done
It is won, it is done

All we have, all we have is a promise like a thread
Holding us, keeping us, from fraying at the edge
All we know, all we know is You said You'd come again
You rose up from the dead

All we have, all we have is a promise like a thread
Holding us, keeping us, from fraying at the edge
All we know, all we know is You said You'd come again
You rose up from the dead
You rose up from the dead

+Beautiful Things

All this pain, I wonder if I'll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change, at all

All this earth, could all that is lost ever be found?
Could a garden come out from this ground, at all?

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around, hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found, in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new,
You are making me new
You make me new,
You are making me new

You make me new,
You are making me new
You make me new,
You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new,
You are making me new
You make me new,
You are making me new

You make me new,
You are making me new
You make me new,
You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

+Hail The Day That Sees Him Rise

Hail the day that sees Him rise
To His throne above the skies
Christ, awhile to mortals given
Reascends His native heaven

There the glorious triumph waits
Lift your heads, eternal gates
Christ hath conquered death and sin
Take the King of glory in

Circled round with angel powers
Their triumphant Lord, and ours
Conqueror over death and sin
Take the King of glory in

Him though highest Heav’n receives
Still He loves the earth He leaves
Though returning to His throne
Still He calls mankind His own

Circled round with angel powers
Their triumphant Lord, and ours
Conqueror over death and sin
Take the King of glory in

See! He lifts His hands above
See! He shows the prints of love
Hark! His gracious lips bestow
Blessings on His church below

Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

Ever upward let us move
Wafted on the wings of love
Looking when our Lord shall come
Longing, gasping after home

There we shall with Thee remain
Partners of Thy endless reign
There Thy face unclouded see
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee
