Live for Christ

This is a song for the brokenhearted

Scream out your prayers if you’re weary and weak

It’s all fading fast so you better believe

That it ain’t gonna last and soon you’ll have to leave


(Chorus)

Live for Christ

It’s now or never

Don’t you wanna live forever?

I just wanna give my all for Christ

Live for Christ, the road to Hell’s an open highway

I’d rather say, “I did it Thy way”

I just wanna give my all for Christ

Live. For. Christ.

It won’t be long before your soul’s departed

Still feeling strong? Take your pride discard it

Your kingdom of dirt’s founded on the sand

Don’t you know it’s the meek who inherit the land?

(Chorus)

Live for Christ

It’s now or never

Don’t you wanna live forever?

I just wanna give my all for Christ

Live for Christ, the road to Hell’s an open highway

I’d rather say, “I did it Thy way”

I just wanna give my all for Christ

Live. For. Christ.

(Bridge)

When you can’t stand tall

Kneel upon the ground

‘cause He’s fighting for you

And He won’t back down!

(Chorus)

Live for Christ

It’s now or never

Don’t you wanna live forever?

I just wanna give my all for Christ

Live for Christ, the road to Hell’s an open highway

I’d rather say, “I did it Thy way”

I just wanna give my all for Christ

Live. For. Christ.

I said

Live. For. Christ.

The Lord is King

The Lord is King! Lift up your voice

Oh earth and all ye heavens rejoice!

From world to world the joy shall ring,

The Lord omnipotent is King

(Chorus)

Sing His praise, sing His praise,

Lord of lords ancient of days

Sing His praise, sing His praise,

all your days, all your days

The Lord is King! Who then shall dare,

Resist his will, distrust his

Or murmur at His wise decrees

or doubt His royal promises

(Chorus)

Sing His praise, sing His praise,

Lord of lords ancient of days

Sing His praise, sing His praise,

all your days, all your days

The Lord is King! Bow down you must

The judge of all the earth is just

Holy and true are all His ways

Let every creature sing His praise

(Chorus)

Sing His praise, sing His praise,

Lord of lords ancient of days

Sing His praise, sing His praise,

all your days, all your days

Joy to Be

(Chorus)

O the joy to be, joy to know

It’s when I decrease You fill up my soul

What a joy to see, joy to hold

It’s when You increase

I want nothing more

Open my hands, humble my heart

All that I have is Yours

Color my prayers, widen my eyes

Wash me in glorious light

(Chorus)

O the joy to be, joy to know

It’s when I decrease You fill up my soul

What a joy to see, joy to hold

It’s when You increase

I want nothing more

Hasten my ears, bridle my tongue

Focus my heart to hear

Settle my pace, purge me of pride

Again and again you provide

(Chorus)

O the joy to be, joy to know

It’s when I decrease You fill up my soul

What a joy to see, joy to hold

It’s when You increase

I want nothing more

Altogether Good

How could we recount the ways

That You have multiplied our faith?

The wisdom of Your ways

The currents of Your grace, expressed

In every moment, every wave

(Chorus)

In the longing of our souls

In the darkness where we go

You are there, You are love

You are altogether good

In the weakness of our faith

In the silence where we wait

You are here, You’re enough

You are altogether good

Through our joys and in our griefs

You have led us to believe

The wisdom of Your ways

The currents of Your grace, express

Our only hope for all our days

(Chorus)

In the longing of our souls

In the darkness where we go

You are there, You are love

You are altogether good

In the weakness of our faith

In the silence where we wait

You are here, You’re enough

You are altogether good

You are altogether good

I love you Lord

I love you Lord

You are my more

Wholly present and pure

I love You Lord

I love You Lord

You are my more

Wholly present and pure

(Chorus)

In the longing of our souls

In the darkness where we go

You are there, You are love

You are altogether good

In the weakness of our faith

In the silence where we wait

You are here, You’re enough

You are altogether good

You are altogether good

I love You Lord (You are altogether good)

I love You Lord (You are altogether good)

Wholly present and pure (You are altogether good)

You are my more (You are altogether good)

You are altogether good
