Because of Him

Words and music: J.D. Sumner © 1960
Lead: Danice Sweet

Lyrics:

Because of Him

All through this world (all through this world) sadly I roam (sadly I roam)
I have but one goal (I have but one goal), to make heaven my home (make heaven my home)
Not by my works (not by my works) but by His grace (but by His grace)
Shall I look, praise God, upon His face (upon His face)

Chorus 1:
Because of Him (because of Him), I’ll be up there (I'll be up there)
Because of Him (because of Him), His glory I’ll share (glory I'll share)
I’ll never give up (never give up) though my way grows dim (my way grows dim)
I’ll make it through, praise God, because of Him (because of Him)

Down on my knees (down on my knees) I made it right (I made it right)
He changed my life (He changed my life) from darkness to light (from darkness to light)
Now I can sing (now I can sing) through shadows so dim (shadows so dim)
I’ll make it through, praise God, because of Him (because of Him)

Chorus 2:
Because of Him (because of Him), I’ll be up there (I'll be up there)
Because of Him (because of Him), His glory I’ll share (glory I'll share)

You see I’ll make it through, praise God, because of Him (because of Him)

His Love

Words: Craig Hayes and Emily Hayes © 2004
Music: Craig Hayes © 2004
Lead: Craig Hayes

Lyrics:

Nothing comes between us and God’s love
Nothing below and nothing above
Height nor depth nor any other thing
Separates us from the love of the King

His love (His love)…we cannot comprehend
His love (His love)…it has no end
His love (His love)…makes the sun to shine
His love (His love)…it’s yours and it’s mine

There are those who will turn their back on Him
Say that nothing can take away their sin
But with God we know that’s not the case
Had a plan to save man with redeeming grace

His love (His love)…mends the broken
His love (His love)…keeps me hopin’
His love (His love)…freely given to all
His love (His love)…it’s so wonderful

And there are some who will choose to walk God’s path
But along the way they slip and they slide back
Look up the road, see the Father waits
There’s still a ring and shoes and a robe of grace

His love (His love)…makes a baby smile
His love (His love)…makes it all worthwhile
His love (His love)…makes the flowers grow
His love (His love)…paints the rainbow

Bridge:
Greater love has no man than this
Betrayed by a friend with a kiss
Proved His love while we were yet in sin
So that we might have love without end

(His love)…sent Jesus to the cross
His love (His love)…seeks to save the lost
His love (His love)…paid the debt we owed
His love (His love)…lightens every load

His love (His love)…nothing can compare
His love (His love)…it is always there
His love (His love)…shines in the darkness
He loves (He loves) me regardless

Scriptural Reference:

"Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." 1 Corinthians 13:7

I love to praise His name
I love to praise Him
I love to praise His name
I love to praise Him

Chorus:
Cause He's my rock (He's my rock)
My rock, my rock, my sword and shield
He's my wheel (He's my wheel)
Oh yes, in the middle of a wheel
No, He'll never (no, He'll never), never, never let me down
He's just a joy (a joy) that I have found

I want to praise Him (praise Him) in the morning (praise Him)
Praise Him (praise Him) in the evening (praise Him)
Praise Him (praise Him), praise Him (praise Him)
Because He gave me power (praise Him, praise Him)
I want to praise Him (praise Him) in the morning (praise Him)
Praise Him (praise Him) in that hour (praise Him)
I love to praise His holy name

Repeat Chorus

Oh Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
I love to praise His name

Reasons I Praise You

Words and music: Danice Sweet © 1994
Lead: Danice Sweet

Lyrics:

These are a few reasons I praise You

Chorus 1:
I praise You Lord (I praise You Lord) for times I feel like this
I worship You with all I am (all I am)
Remind me please (remind me Lord) that moments like these only come
When we start to worship You

The breathtaking beauty of Your mountains
And Your waving fields of golden grain
The ocean foaming at my feet
The fragrance of rain smells so sweet
These are a few reasons I praise You

Chorus 2:
I praise You Lord (I praise You Lord) for times I feel like this (feel like this)
I worship You with all I am (all I am)
Remind me please (remind me please) that moments like these only come
When we start to worship You

The friends and the loved ones we hold dearly (we hold dearly)
The family in Christ we've come to know
The chance we have to praise Your name
And tell the world why Jesus came
These are a few reasons I praise You

Repeat Chorus 2

Bridge:
Days won't always be this bright
Skies not always clear
But in life's uncertainties
We can feel You near

Repeat Chorus 1

Remind me please (remind me Lord) that moments like these only come
When we start to worship You
Lord we want to worship You

Scriptural Reference:

"He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me, who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from violent men you rescued me. Therefore I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing praises to your name." 2 Samuel 22:48-50

Were You There

Words and music: African-American Spiritual

Lead: Terry Lewis, Chet Sweet, and Danice Sweet

Lyrics:

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

But were you there when He rose up from the grave? (were you there?)
Were you there when my Jesus rose from the grave? (were you there?)
Oh, sometimes it makes me want to shout, and I cry
And I begin to tremble (tremble), tremble (tremble), tremble
But were you there when He rose (from) from the grave? (were you there?)

Scriptural Reference:

"They crucified Him, and with Him two others." John 19:18

I Must Share Jesus

Words and music: Danice Sweet and Holly Beaty © 2004
Inspired by: Riding on a train in Ukraine
Lead: Danice Sweet

Lyrics:

Chorus 1:
I must share Jesus
To all who will listen
To all who are hungry and searching for His word, for His word
I must share Jesus
To all who are thirsting
Till His life-giving water and healing power cover the earth

We stare at the same moon
We awake to the same sun
We all search for something that this world just cannot give
But His love knows no language
No nation, no color
It has no fences, walls, or borders to keep it in

Chorus 2:
I must share Jesus (share Him)
To all who will listen (who will hear)
To all who are hungry and searching for His word, for His word
I must share Jesus (share Him)
To all who are thirsting (who will hear)
Till His life-giving water and healing power cover the earth

He gave us His life’s blood
He gave us His spirit
He gave us the one thing to take away our sin
Still His blood knows no language
No nation, no color
It has no fences, walls, or borders to keep it in

Repeat Chorus 2 (x2)

Till His life-giving water and healing power cover the earth

Scriptural Reference:

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

When God Dips His Pen of Love in My Heart

Lyrics:

When God dips His love in my heart

When God dips His pen of love in my heart
And He writes my soul a message He wants me to know
His spirit all divine heals a sinful soul of mine
When God dips His love in my heart

Chorus:
Well I said I wouldn’t tell it to a living soul
How He brought salvation and He made me whole
But I found I couldn’t hide such love as Jesus did impart
Well He made me laugh and He made me cry
Set my sinful soul on fire (Hallelujah)
When God dips His love in my heart

Well sometimes oh the way is dreary, dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to God in prayer, I can always find Him there
He whispers sweet peace to my soul

Repeat Chorus

He walked up every step of Calvary’s rugged way
And He gave His life completely to bring a brighter day
My life was steeped in sin but in love He took me in
His blood washed away every stain

Repeat Chorus

(Hallelujah) When God dips His love, His sweet love in my heart

Scriptural Reference:
