WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS O Worship the King O worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space! His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail: Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end; Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! In Christ Alone In Christ alone my hope is found; He is my light, my strength, my song; This Cornerstone, this solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease; My Comforter, my All in All; here in the love of Christ I stand. In Christ alone who took on flesh, fullness of God in helpless babe. This gift of love and righteousness, scorned by the ones He came to save. Til on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied; For every sin on Him was laid; here in the death of Christ I live. There in the ground His body lay; light of the world by darkness slain. Then bursting forth in glorious day, up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, sin s curse has lost its grip on me; For I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ! No guilt in life, no fear in death; this is the power of Christ in me. From life s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand; Til He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I ll stand! 6
WORSHIP SONGS AND HYMNS 10,000 Reasons Chorus Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul. Worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul. I ll worship Your holy name. The sun comes up it s a new day dawning. It s time to sing Your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me. Let me be singing when the evening comes. You re rich in love and You re slow to anger. Your name is great and Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness I will keep on singing. Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. And on that day when my strength is failing. The end draws near and my time has come. Still my soul will sing Your praise unending. Ten thousand years and then forevermore. Breathe This is the air I breathe, this is the air I breathe; Your holy presence living in me. This is my daily bread, this is my daily bread; Your very Word spoken to me. Chorus And I, I m desperate for You. And I, I m lost without You. And I, I m lost without You. I m lost without You. 7
