Beautiful One


Wonderful, so wonderful
Is your unfailing love
Your cross has spoken mercy over me
No eye has seen no ear has heard
No heart could fully know
How glorious, how beautiful you are.

Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.

Powerful so powerful
Your glory fills the skies
Your mighty works displayed for all to see
The beauty of your majesty
Awakes my heart to see
How marvelous how wonderful you are.

Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.

You opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on Earth is as beautiful as you
You opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on Earth is as beautiful as you are.

Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.
Beautiful one I love you
Beautiful one I adore
Beautiful one my soul must sing.

And you opened my eyes to your wonders anew
You captured my heart with this love
Because nothing on earth is as beautiful as you are.

I love this song, it is one of my favorites from church. I'm new to this thread; it is good to see that there are others that love christian music. I grew up listening to music such as Amy Grant, Randy Stonehill, Truth, Sweet Comfort and The Imperials. I really love Michael W. Smith, and have recently started listening to MercyMe. I love all the worship music that is out now. It really does heal the soul

 

[transparant]

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

Chorus:
(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

 

[Otto's Doll]

Leaving the safe and familiar
With their hearts set on a heavenly prize
There were some who laid down their nets
And some who laid down their lives
Not sure where they were going
But they did not have to know
’cause they knew who had called them
And they said, we will go

(chorus)
Down any road at any cost
Wherever you lead we will follow
Because we know that you’ve called us
To take up our cross
Down any road at any cost

It may be fear that we’re feeling
We see what we must sacrifice
But you promised you’ll go with us
So we’ll trust with our lives

(repeat chorus)

It’s your love that compels us
To do what you’ve called us to do
And be completely abandoned to you

(repeat chorus)

Because we know that you’ve called us
To take up our cross
Down any road at any cost

 

[Otto's Doll]

- - alleluia, alleluia
For the lord God almighty reigns
Alleluia, alleluia
For the lord God almighty reigns
Alleluia

Holy, holy are you lord God almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
You are holy, holy are you lord God almighty
Worthy is the lamb
Worthy is the lamb
Amen

 

[Otto's Doll]

Lord the light or your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining,
Jesus light of the world shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth you now bring us,
Shine on me. shine on me.

Shine jesus shine
Fill this land with the father’s glory
Blaze, spirit blaze,
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth your word
Lord and let there be light.

Lord I come to your awesome presence,
From the shadows into your radiance,
By the blood I may enter your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness,
Shine on me. shine on me.

As we gaze on your kindly brightness.
So our faces display your likeness.
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell your story.
Shine on me. shine on me.

 

[Otto's Doll]

I’ve been hearing voices
Telling me that I could
Never be what I wanna be
They’re binding me with lies
Haunting me at night
And say, there’s nothing to believe
Somewhere in the quietness
When I’m overcome with loneliness
I hear You call my name
Like a father, You are near
As I listen, I can hear You say

[chorus]
You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life
No matter where you go
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ
You are a child of Mine

And so I listen, as You tell me who I am
And who it is I’m gonna be
And I hang on every word
Knowing I have heard
I am Yours and I am free
But when I am alone at night
That is when I hear the lie
You’ll never be enough
And though I’m giving into fear
If I listen I can hear You say

[chorus]

I am calling…
I am calling…
I am calling…

[chorus]

MercyMe
Album: Undone
Song: Homesick

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

This is absolutely one of my favorite songs. So beautiful and it was amazing when I saw them sing it in concert.

Hi Michelle! Welcome to the thread!! So glad you're here. I think you and I grew up listening to most of the same music. I agree with you, the worship music out now is so good.



Thanks for all of the great songs, everybody!

 

[Hemi-mom]

Good morning all! So glad to see some old and new faces around!

~Welcome newcomers~

Jeanne, what a bunch of great songs!!!! Good to see you here!

Michelle, Thanks for your singing yesterday, but don't even think I'm gonna let you get away with spelling Bryan's name with an "i" How's your job going? I have been praying for you there!

I am also praying for those of you are hunting for a new job!

Also, please pray for us as we will be traveling this week.

Anticipating Easter...

Look backward ---see Christ dying for you.
Look upward---see Christ pleading for you.
Look inward---see Christ living in you.
Look forward---see Christ coming for you.


John 3:16
For God.......the greatest lover
so loved......the greatest degree
the world......the greatest number
that He gave......the greatest act
His only begotten Son......the greatest gift
that whosoever......the greatest invitation
believeth......the greatest simplicity
in Him......the greatest person
should not perish...the greatest deliverance
but......the greatest difference
have......the greatest certainty
Everlasting life......the greatest possession

 

[Hemi-mom]

There is a River

There is a river where mercy flows
I'm gonna follow where it goes
Where it goes, where it goes
Follow wherever it goes

There is a fountain that will cleanse
All those who wash there from all sins
From all sins, from all sins
All those who wash from all sins

There is a refuge for wounded souls
Where broken hearts will be made whole
Be made whole, be made whole
Broken hearts will be made whole

There was a death that empties tombs
There was a scar that heals all wounds
Heals all wounds, heals all wounds
A scar that heals all wounds

There is one name that leads us home
It is no other than Christ alone
Christ alone, Christ alone
No other than Christ alone

 

[Hemi-mom]

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
'Till 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 it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought 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
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

 

[Hemi-mom]

How beautiful the hands that served
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked
the long dusty roads
and the hills to the cross.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

How beautiful the heart that bled
that took all my sin
and bore it instead.
How beautiful the tender eyes
that chose to forgive
and never despise.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

And as He laid down His life
we offer this sacrifice
that we will live just as he died:
willing to pay the price
willing to pay the price.

How beautiful the radient Bride
who waits for her Groom
with His light in her eyes.
How beautiful when humble hearts give
the fruit of pure lives
so that others may live.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

How beautiful the feet that bring
the sound of good news
and the love of the King.
How beautiful the hands that serve

the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful
how beautiful

how beautiful is the body of Christ.

WHO YOU ARE/4HIM

When I see the sun
Coming up in the sky
When I see the stars
In the still of the night
Then I, I see who You are
When I feel the breath of
The wind in my face
I rest in the warmth
Of a Father's embrace
Then I, I feel You Are

CHORUS
And who You are
Is all I'll ever want to be
Take my life
Make what You will of me
'Cause You're constantly changing my heart
Leading me out of the dark
Bringing me closer to who You are

I'm ready to run
And I'm ready to dance
Live every moment
Leave nothing to chance
'Cause I, I know who You are
I consider the Cross
And the price that You paid
I know that You live
'Cause the stone's rolled away
Oh I, I love who You are

REAPEAT CHORUS

'Cause You're constantly changing my heart
Leading me out of the dark
And You're bringing me closer to who You are

 

[Hemi-mom]

It’s All About Jesus/4HIM

It’s all about Jesus
It’s all about the way he changed our lives
It’s all about Jesus
The power of his blood can’t be denied

It’s all about Jesus
It’s all about the covenant he made
It’s all about Jesus
Victorious he rose up from the grave

Chorus
We lift our hearts to him
He is the reason that we sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
We praise your name

It’s all about Jesus
It’s all about the way he set us free
It’s all about Jesus
Wearing every sin at calvary

It’s all about Jesus
It’s all about the gift of love he gave
It’s all about Jesus
Precious lamb of God us was slain

 

[Hemi-mom]

You Did That for Me/Sara Groves

You don't have to cry anymore
You don't have to worry
bout what's in store
walk that road
exhausted and poor
You don't have to cry anymore

You don't have to know it all
You don't have to be so proud
and stand so tall
Climb that mountain
only to fall
You don't have to know it all

You did that for me
You did that for me
You wore the chains
So I could be free
You did that for me

You don't have to be ashamed
Hang my head, a shoulder to blame
wondering if my life's been a waste
You don't have to be ashamed

You did that for me
You did that for me
You wore the chains
So I could be free
You did that for me

Man of sorrows, well acquainted with grief
brought down to the city dump
spread eagle on the cross beam
propped up like a scarecrow
nailed like a thief
there for all the world to see

You wore the chains so I could be free
You did that for me

 

[Hemi-mom]

Completely Free/Big Daddy Weave

Broken and poured out for the love of His creation
God paid a debt that He didn’t owe
Bearing my pain for not one was His equal
And wearing my shame so that I could know him

He gave us all He had to give
So that we could truly live
So let’s give all we have to Him
So that we can be completely free

And as they placed the thorns on His brow
As they drove the nails into His hands and His feet
He looked past the moment
To where we are now
And gave us the victory
From what seemed His defeat

He said here’s my body
It’s broken in two
Here is my blood let it cover you
All that I have is now yours to receive
Payment in full so that you could be free

Oh without a doubt completely
So that we can be completely free

 

[Hemi-mom]

MAKER OF THE UNIVERSE/Phil Keaggy

The Maker of the universe,
As Man for man was made a curse.
The claims of Law which He had made,
Unto the uttermost He paid.
His holy fingers made the bough,
Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow.
The nails that pierced His hands were mined
In secret places He designed.

He made the forest whence there sprung
The tree on which His body hung.
He died upon a cross of wood,
Yet made the hill on which it stood.
The sky that darkened o'er His head,
By Him above the earth was spread.
The sun that hid from Him it's face
By His decree was poised in space.

The spear which spilled His precious blood
Was tempered in the fires of God.
The grave in which His form was laid
Was hewn in rocks His hands had made.

The throne on which He now appears
Was His for everlasting years.
But a new glory crowns His brow
And every knee to Him shall bow.
