O gladsome light, O grace, O grace Shine your joyful beams on my face Wrap me now in your warm embrace O gladsome light, O grace The heavens declare the glory of God The skies proclaim the work of His hands Day after day they pour forth speech Night after night they reveal knowledge They have no speech, they use no words O gladsome light, O grace, O grace Shine your joyful beams on my face Wrap me now in your warm embrace O gladsome light, O grace No sound is heard from them Yet their voice goes out into all the earth Their words to the ends of the world In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun Just like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber O gladsome light, O grace, O grace Shine your joyful beams on my face Wrap me now in your warm embrace O gladsome light, O grace Like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens And makes its circuit to the other Nothing is deprived of its warmth O gladsome light, O grace, O grace Shine your joyful beams on my face Wrap me now in your warm embrace O gladsome light, O grace O gladsome light, O grace, O grace Shine your joyful beams on my face Wrap me now in your warm embrace O gladsome light, O grace O gladsome light, O grace

I have fallen to lowly place Clothed in rags of my disgrace Cleanse from within Renew my heart again Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Have mercy in Your goodness Lord There’s a price for freedom I can’t afford Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Set these broken bones to dance in Your name Train my tongue to sing Your praise Take my shattered pride There’s nowhere left to hide Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Have mercy in Your goodness Lord There’s a price for freedom I can’t afford Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Where the joy of the Lord is my strength once more Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Have mercy in Your goodness Lord Have mercy in Your goodness Lord

O for a Closer Walk with God 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Never took the time to check the price tags Just put on the clothes to please everyone But since I’ve started down a different road It’s started to occur to me O for a closer walk with God A closer walk with Him My pride wouldn’t swell, or seek man’s applause O for a closer walk with God Never took the time to ask why I’m here A den of thieves they take whatever they please But since I’ve started down a different road It’s started to occur to me O for a closer walk with God A closer walk with Him I would be wiser not easily robbed O for a closer walk with God O for a closer walk with God Never took the time to set any limits Waiting for the money to fall from the sky But since I’ve started down a different road It’s started to occur to me O for a closer walk with God A closer walk with Him Instead of lotto numbers, I’d pick golden rods O for a closer walk with God Never took the time to care about her Just eye candy in a sweater and skirt But since I’ve started down a different road It’s started to occur to me O for a closer walk with God A closer walk with Him I’d see her true beauty, not flesh in the raw O for a closer walk with God O for a closer walk with God They wear fake smiles and take whatever they please Why everyone one around’s just using me Never took the time to ask more than her name O for a closer walk with God A closer walk with Him My pride wouldn’t swell, or seek man’s applause O for a closer walk with God O for a closer walk with God A closer walk with Him My pride wouldn’t swell, or seek man’s applause O for a closer walk with God

Eternal Light Shine in my heart Shine in my heart Shine No one lights a lamp to hide it under a basket The lamp lights the room, you don’t need to ask it When good works are seen; glory to God Eternal Light Shine in my heart Shine in my heart Shine Eternal Light Shine in my heart Shine in my heart Shine His Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path Awake, O sleeper, arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you The righteous path is like the light of dawn shining brighter into full day Eternal Light Shine in my heart Shine in my heart Shine Eternal Light Shine in my heart Shine in my heart Shine There's a city with no need of sun or moon to shine upon it For the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. Eternal Light Shine in my heart Shine in my heart Shine Eternal Light Shine in my heart Shine in my heart Shine

This is a call What’s that in your hand All things work according to His plan Wherever you are whatever you do Do in His name, do in His name Hark the voice of love and mercy Echo it in the streets Hark the voice of love and mercy Calling out you and me It’s not about how How many good things have you done It’s how much love did you pour into what you did Wherever you are whatever you do Do in His name, do in His name Hark the voice of love and mercy Echo it in the streets Hark the voice of love and mercy Calling out you and me Kind words can be short And easy to speak Echoing round and round endlessly Hark the voice of love and mercy Echo it in the streets Hark the voice of love and mercy Calling out you and me Hark the voice of love and mercy Echo it in the streets Hark the voice of love and mercy Calling out you and me

The Lily of the Valley 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Sweet Mary tell me of your Son And I will gather your tears His triumph over death at Calvary's cross Will comfort travelers’ fears Each precious tear is a lily A beauty among the thorns Pure fragrance flows from the memories In shadows where hope is reborn The Lily of the Valley On tear-stained ground The Lily of the Valley Where new hope is found Where new hope is found The roots run wide through the meadows No toiling the price has been paid Bowed and humbled with shoulders hung low From the weight of a sacrifice made The white bells silent and solemn While plucked in bunches and tied A promise of new life in springtime And bouquet for the bride The Lily of the Valley On tear-stained ground The Lily of the Valley Where new hope is found Where new hope is found The Lily of the Valley On tear-stained ground The Lily of the Valley Where new hope is found Where new hope is found
