A Very Special Time

Words and music: Keith Lancaster (1982) © 1992 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
This song also appeared on Drop in the Bucket by Acappella Children.

Lyrics:

Ain't there trouble around us? (yes, there's trouble around)
Oh yes there's trouble around us (yes, there's trouble around)
And ain't there hatred about us? (yes, there's hatred about)
You know there's hatred about us (you know, there's hatred about)

Chorus 1:
But don't you know that it's a very special time to be living in this world
It's a very special hour to be alive
'Cause my Jesus Christ gave in to the cross of Calvary
And He's reigning now, it's so great to be alive

Ain't there confusion about us? (yes, confusion's about)
Yes there's confusion about us (there's confusion about)
And ain't there temptation around us? (yes, temptation's about)
You know there's temptation around us (you know, temptation's around)

Chorus 2:
But let me tell you it's a very special time to be living in this world
It's a very special hour to be alive
'Cause my Jesus Christ gives me hope and the strength with which to cope
With the world so bad, it's so great to be alive

Bridge:
It's so great to be alive!
It's so wonderful to understand
That no matter where the world goes
My destiny is in His hands

But ain't our world now in trouble? (it's in trouble our world)
You know our world is in trouble (it's in trouble our world)
And don't the world need a Savior (needs a Savior our world)
We need to show them the Savior (needs a Savior our world)

Chorus 3:
But don't you know that it's a very special time to be living in this world
It's a very special hour to be alive
'Cause my Jesus won't forget that He promised to return
And He's coming soon, it's so great to be alive!

Repeat Chorus 3

Yes He's coming soon, it's so great to be alive!

Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold

Chorus:
Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You my master
Ready to do your will.

Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within and make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin deep within

 

[Otto's Doll]

Show me Your ways, that I may walk with You,
Show me Your ways, I put my hope in You
The cry of my heart is to love You more
To live with the touch of Your hand
Stronger each day
Show me Your ways

 

[Otto's Doll]

We Will Dance

Sing a song of celebration
Lift up a shout of praise, for the Bridegroom will come
The Glorious One;
And Oh--We will look on His Face
We'll go----to a much better place.

Dance with all your might
Lift up your hands and clap for joy
The time's drawing near, when He will appear
And oh----we will stand by His side
A strong, pure spotless bride.

(Chorus
We will dance on the streets that are golden
The glorious bride, and the Great Son of Man
Every tongue and tribe and nation
Will join in the Song of the Lamb
(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat v.2-chorus)

(Chorus)
Sing aloud for the time of rejoicing is near (echo)
The risen King, our groom, us soon to appear (echo)
The wedding feast to come is now near at hand (echo)
Lift up your voice, proclaim the coming Lamb (echo)

Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble

Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you feel the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of,
Jesus Christ the Risen One.

Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you feel the singers road?
When the lost began to sing of,
Jesus Christ the Saving One.

And we can see that God You're moving,
A mighty river through the nations
Where young and old return to Jesus,
Fling wide you heavenly gates,
Prepare the way of the Risen Lord!

(chorus)
Open up the doors and let the music play.
Let the streets resound with singing.
Songs that bring your hope,
And songs that bring your joy.
Dancers who dance upon injustice.

Do you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song,
And all the streams join as one river
To wash away our brokenness.

And here we see that God You're moving.
A time of jubilee is coming.
And young and old return to Jesus
Fling wide you heavenly gates,
Prepare the way of the Risen Lord!
(chorus

Awesome songs Jeanne!

 

[Otto's Doll]

Our God is an awesome God! He inspires some wonderful songs.

Another rainy day
I can't recall having sunshine on my face
All I feel is pain
All I wanna do is walk out of this place
But when I am stuck and I can't move
When I don't know what I should do
When I wonder if I'll ever make it through

I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
Your the one that's keeping my heart beating
I gotta keep singing
I gotta keep praising Your name
That's the only way that I'll find healing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Can I climb up in Your lap
I don't wanna leave
Jesus sing over me
I gotta keep singing

Oh You're everything I need
And I gotta keep singing

 

[Otto's Doll]

I long for your embrace
Every single day
To meet you in this place
And see you face to face

Will you show me?
Reveal yourself to me
Because of your mercy
I fall down on my knees

And I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love

You're everywhere I go
I am not alone
You call me as your own
To know you and be known

You are holy
And I fall down on my knees

I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love

I surrender to your grace
I surrender to the one who took my place

I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender:

I can feel your presence here with me
Suddenly I'm lost within your beauty
Caught up in the wonder of your touch
Here in this moment I surrender to your love

Artist: MercyMe
Album: Undone
Song: Never Alone

It's been one of those days
When everything just feels so far away
Hope don't be a stranger
Won't you help me make it through today?

Then a voice comes calling out to me
You're never alone cause I am with you
And I will always be
I will hold you cause you belong to me
You're never alone cause I'll be with you
For all eternity

Someone tell me how I
Stumble into doubting all the time
Some days I'm all together
And other days I stand here asking why

Then a voice comes calling out to me
You're never alone cause I am with you
And I will always be
I will hold you cause you belong to me
You're never alone cause I'll be with you
For all eternity

Then a voice comes calling out to me
You're never alone cause I am with you
And I will always be
I will hold you cause you belong to me
You're never alone cause I'll be with you
For all eternity

[repeat]

You're never alone
You're never alone

 

[JC2]

As I come into Your presence
Past the gates of praise
Into Your sanctuary
Til we're standing face to face
I look upon Your countenance
I see the fullness of Your grace
And I can only bow down and say

You are awesome in this place Mighty God
You are awesome in this place Abba Father
You are worthy of all praise
To You our lives we raise
You are awesome in this place Mighty God

I Want To Be Like You/ FFH

When I'm down, You are up for me
When I frown, You have a smile for me
And when I'm weak, You are strong for me
You are there for me
You're always there for me

When I fall, You will catch me
When I call, You're quick to answer me
And when I weep, You will weep with me
You are there for me
You're always there for me

Chorusl:
(And I want to be like You)
Take my cross and follow after You
(I want to be like You)
Speak the truth in everything I do
(I want to be like You)
Leave the many to go and find the few
(I want to be like You)
I want to be like You

When I thirst, You will quench me
When I hunger, You are the bread for me
When I kneel, you already heard me
You are there for me
You're always there for me

When I cried, You were there, You heard my call
When I fell, You were there, You saw it all
On my knees, You came and rescued me
And now in everything I say and do
I want to be just like you

 

[zen1]

Let Your Love/Avalon

I can hear You calling in a whisper
You say so much
In a dream I'm falling
But I awaken within Your love and I find You waiting
I find You, arms stretching open
My will is breaking
Lord, I've had enough ...I'm giving it up
So let Your love
Take my heart make it strong
Take my life from now on I'm running out of hope
Running out of strength
So let Your love take over me I have been unchanging
I have seen my world spinning by
Only You can save me
From the foolishness of my pride, so
Come find me waiting
Come find me, heart reaching upward
My will is fading
Lord, I've had enough ...I'm giving me up
Come and find me waiting
Come and make me strong
Come and lead me on
Come set my heart free
Come and take me over
