And hear the brooks and feel the gentle breeze.

Sent him to die, I scarcely can take it in. Precious Lamb of God, Messiah,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing All for sinners' slain…
He bled and died to take away my sins.
When I stand in glory, I will see his face.
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation. And there, I’ll serve my king forever,
And take me home; what joy shall fill my heart! In that holy place…
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration.
And there proclaim: my God how great thou art!

Why should I gain from this reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.
When I was weary, you helped me find rest
When I was anxious, you calmed all my fears

The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul
I give you control
Consume me from the inside out
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace

Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring you praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out
153. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE
I have heard how Christians long ago Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Were brought before a tyrants throne Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
And they were told that he would spare their lives None can fathom
If they would renounce the name of Christ.
But one by one they chose to die You are amazing God
The Son of God they would not deny You are amazing God
Like a great angelic choir sings
I can almost hear their voices ring.
155. ANCIENT WORDS

Words of Life, words of Hope
Now the years have come and the years have gone Give us strength, help us cope
But the cause of Jesus still goes on In this world, where e'er we roam

You placed the stars in the sky and You know

Wonderful merciful Savior
Precious redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could
Rescue the souls of men, Oh You rescue the souls
of men
Counselor, comforter, keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way, Oh we hopelessly lost
the way
Let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Let the blind say, "I can see"
It's what the Lord has done in me
Hosanna, hosanna
To the Lamb that was slain
Hosanna, hosanna
Jesus died and rose again (X2)
Into the river, I will wade

Into the saving arms of God
I will sing salvation songs
Jesus Christ has set me free

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.

You are the One that we praise

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit's call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.

You don't have to worry
And don't you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning
Troubles they don't last always

Who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say
Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
So when your tests and trials
They seem to get you down
And all your friends and loved ones
Are nowhere to be found
Remember there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if you heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say

163. IMELA (THANK YOU)
When I think upon your goodness;
And Your faithfulness each day
I’m convinced it’s not because I am worthy -
to receive the kind of love that You give.
But I’m grateful for your mercy,
and I’m grateful for your grace
And because of how You’ve poured out Yourself,
I have come to sing this song out in praise
Imela, Imela (Thank You! Thank You!)
Okaka, Onyekeruwa (Great and Might creator of the
world)
Imela, Imela, (Thank You! Thank You!)
Eze m Oh (My King)
Who am I to sing Your praises?
Who am I to worship You?
It’s Your blood that makes the difference in me
And made a way to enter into Your throne
I could not come near Your presence
I could never sing Your song
But the sacrifice on Calvary’s tree
is the reason I can cry out today
Onyedikagi? Ekene diri gi(Who is like You? All
Glory belongs to You)
Onyene mema (He who does good)

Glory belongs to You)

164. IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well,
With my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
165. MY SOUL KNOWS VERY WELL
You make Your face to shine on me
Now my soul knows very well
You lift me up an' I'm cleansed and free
Now my soul knows very well
When mountains fall, I'll stand
By the power of Your hand
And in Your heart of hearts, I'll dwell
That my soul knows very well x2
Joy and strength each day I find
That my soul knows very well
Forgiveness, forgiveness, hope, I know is mine
That my soul knows very well
And in Your heart of hearts, I'll dwell
That my soul knows very well
And in Your heart of hearts, I'll dwell
That my soul knows very well
37

And turns the bitter into sweet
Who is stirring up my passion
Who is rising up in me
Who is filling up my hunger, with everything I need.
(Chorus)
You are holy and eternal
And forever you will reign
Every knee will bow before you
Every tongue will confess Your name
All the angels give you glory
As they stand before your throne
and here on Earth we gather
To declare Your name alone.
(Chorus)
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days
believing
That what He'd have me be, is who I am
As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
sin will never ever take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away carry for 3 beats ...
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no.

178. RIVER OF LIFE For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save
Thirsty for more of you us
More of Your Spirit and truth From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Wash me from all my sin Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that
Fill me with Your Spirit again rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see
You're the River of Love
Flowing with grace and mercy As midnight fell on crucifixion day
Flooding my soul The light of hope seemed oh so far away
Filling my heart with peace As evil tried to stop redemption's flow
O River of Love
Like streams in the desert [Bridge]
Giver of life And now when heaven looks at me
Giving You life and love It's through the blood of Jesus
To set me free Reminding me of one day long ago

Heal me and I'll be healed 180. MERCY CAME RUNNING

Save me and I will be saved Once there was a holy place
You've filled me with songs of praise Evidence of God's embrace
Forever I will sing of Your grace And I can almost see mercy's face
Pressed against the veil
If anyone is thirsty let him come on in
When you drink the living water Looking down with longing eyes
You will never thirst again Mercy must have realized
That once His blood was sacrificed
Giving your life and love Freedom would prevail
To set me free
Giving your life and love And as the sky grew dark
To set me free And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way
179. MERCY SAID NO
I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading

40
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me
Once there was a broken heart
Way to human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid
Walls I never meant to build
Left this prisoner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away
I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in
repeat chorus
Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
Just to remind me
repeat chorus
181. EMMANUEL II

Christmas Carols
200. JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing (2x)
And heaven and heaven - and nature sing
Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ -
while fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains…
repeat the sounding Joy (x2)
Repeat, repeat the sounding Joy
No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground!
He comes to make….his blessing flow
Far as the curse is found (X2)
Far as - far as…the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love (X2)
And wonders and wonders of His love
201. HARK THE HEARLD
Hark the Herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald-angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of a Virgin’s womb.
43
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see!
Hail, the incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Chorus: Hark… etc
202. WHAT CHILD IS THIS
What child is this who laid to rest -
on Mary’s lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping.
Chorus: This is the king whom
Shepherds guard and the angels sing. Joy, Joy
For Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary.
So bring him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own him;
The king of king’s salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
(Chorus)
203. GOD REST YOU MERRY GENTLEMEN
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us from Satan’s power
When we had gone astray
O tidings of comfort and Joy, comfort and Joy
O tidings of comfort and Joy, comfort and Joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and
Brotherhood, each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All differences doth deface.
204. O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL Shepherds, why this jubilee?
O come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant Why these songs of happy cheer?
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; What great brightness did you see?
Come and behold him, born the King of angels. Which inspired your heavenly song?

Oh come, let us adore him Come, to Bethlehem, and see

Oh come, let us adore him
O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord!
Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation,
Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above:
Glory to God, glory in the highest.
O come, let us, etc
Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be all glory given:
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.
O come let us, etc
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the lord, the newborn king.
207. O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to night

205. GO TELL IT TO THE MOUNTAIN For Christ is born of Mary

Go tell it on the mountains And, gathered all above
Over the hills and every where While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Go tell it to the Mountains Their watch of wondering love.
That Jesus Christ is born O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
While shepherds kept their watching And praises sing to God the King
O’er silent flocks by night And peace to men on earth.
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light How silently, how silently
the wondrous gift is given!
The shepherd feared and trembled So God imparts to human hearts
When Lo! Above the Earth the blessings of his heaven.
Rang out the angels chorus No ear may hear his coming
That hailed the saviors birth but in this world of sin
where meek hearts will receive him, still -
Down in a lowly manger the dear Christ enters in.
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation O holy Child of Bethlehem,
That blessed Christmas morn Descend on us, we pray
Cast out our sin, and enter in
Be born in us today.
206. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD We hear the Christmas angels
Angels we have heard on high, The great glad tidings tell
Sweetly singing o’er the plains. O come to us, abide with us,
And the mountains in reply, Our Lord Emmanuel !
Echoing their joyous strains.
Glo…o…o…oria
In excelsis, Deo. (Repeat) 208. SILENT NIGHT
Silent night, Holy night

44
All is calm, all is bright Protect me and guide me
Round yon virgin Mother and Child ‘Till. Heaven I see.
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace Be near me, Lord Jesus;
Sleep in heavenly peace. I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever
Silent night, Holy night, And love me, I pray
Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven a far, Bless all the dear children
Heav’nly host sing Alleluia! In Thy tender care
Christ, the savior is born And fit us for heaven
Christ, the savior is born To live with Thee there.

Silent night, Holy night, 211. O HOLY NIGHT!

Son of God, love’s pure light O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, 

Radiant beans from thy holy face It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth. 

With the dawn of redeeming grace Long lay the world in sin and error pining. 

Jesus, Lord at thy birth Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. 

Jesus, Lord at thy birth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, 

209. THE FIRST NOEL For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn. 

The first noel, the angels did say, Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! 

Was to certain poor shepherds O night divine, the night when Christ was born; 

In fields where they lay; O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! 

O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! 


In fields where they lay… keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, 

That was so deep. With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand. 

O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, 

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
Born is the king of Israel

The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; 

210. AWAY IN MANGER In all our trials born to be our friends. 

Away in manger, He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
No crib for his bed, Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! 

The little lord Jesus’ Behold your King! Before him lowly bend! 


Laid down his Sweet head.
Truly He taught us to love one another, 

The stars in the sky His law is love and His gospel is peace. 

Looked down where he lay Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
The little Lord Jesus 
And in his name all oppression shall cease. 

Asleep on the hay. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,

With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
The cattle are lowing, 
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, 

The baby awakes
His power and glory ever more proclaim! 

But little lord Jesus –
No crying he makes, His power and glory ever more proclaim!

I love thee, lord Jesus!

Look down now on me. 212. O REJOICE

45
Come, come and behold the Son
Come, come and behold the babe
Come, See what the Lord has done
Come, Heaven has made a way

See, see in the east the star

Come, now as the angels sing
"All Glory be unto God"
Born, Born is the Saving King

O Rejoice, Rejoice
Heaven sings tonight
Rejoice, The Lord has come

Still, still is the weary world

Still but for the humble praise
Hear, hear as the shepherds sing
Join, join as the drummer plays

Fall, fall on your knees all men

Joy, joy to the world this day
Here, find ye the word as flesh
Here, here on a bed of hay
