Waiting in Jerusalem sat a righteous man Waiting for a Messiah to take Israel’s hand Like waiting for rain in a land plagued by drought All he had was time, time wait it out Oh when shall I see Jesus Oh when shall I see His face Though the wait is long, but I wait faith Oh when shall I see Jesus On the way to Jericho on the side of the road Sat a blind man begging; waiting for a miracle Feeling useless waiting, he started to yell and shout All he had was time, but time was running out Oh when shall I see Jesus Oh when shall I see His face Though the wait is long, but I wait faith Oh when shall I see Jesus Ten virgins with lamps waiting for the groom Five were wise and brought jars of oil Five burned out too soon They all slept and dreamed, til midnight came To the foolish five He said I don’t know your name Oh when shall I see Jesus Oh when shall I see His face Though the wait is long, but I wait faith Oh when shall I see Jesus

Comfort Comfort now my people My people need comfort This world cannot give Go to the hungry You are my hands and my feet Fill their cups They are thirsty in need of a drink There are strangers stranded On streets in need of a welcome There are clothes to disperse Let the bride, the church, reach out Comfort Comfort now my people My people need comfort This world cannot give Care for the sick Be a blessing in their hour of need Visit the prisoners behind concrete walls Pray for release Comfort Comfort now my people My people need comfort This world cannot give Comfort Comfort now my people My people need comfort This world cannot give

You knit me in my mother’s womb I was fearfully and wonderfully made Where can I go from Your Spirit? You’re familiar with all my ways If I make my bed in the depths, You are there If I go up to the heavens, You are there Earth and all stars Velvet and lace Earth and all stars A kiss and embrace You know when I sit and when I rise You perceive my thoughts from afar Where can I flee from Your presence? From the depths to the heights there You are If I rise on the wings of the dawn If I settle across the sea Even there Your hand will guide me Earth and all stars Velvet and lace Earth and all stars A kiss and embrace Earth and all stars Above time and space You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there You are there Earth and all stars Velvet and lace Earth and all stars A kiss and embrace Earth and all stars Above time and space Earth and all stars No soul is erased

People in darkness have seen a great light For a light has dawned on a dark, dark land One day all will see His beauty and might The Morning Star, the Morning Star Brightest and best of the stars Brightest and best of the stars From His hands and feet light shines through His scars Brightest and best of the stars When He comes in His glory as scriptures foretell We’ll know His joy for eternity The glorious rays of Christ will pierce every soul The Morning Star, the Morning Star Brightest and best of the stars Brightest and best of the stars From His hands and feet light shines through His scars Brightest and best of the stars Shine Your light, shine Your light Shine Your light on me Shine Your light, shine Your light Shine Your light on me Brightest and best of the stars Brightest and best of the stars From His hands and feet light shines through His scars Brightest and best of the stars The glorious rays of Christ will pierce every soul The Morning Star, the Morning Star

I’m redeemed From the hand of the wicked From every lawless deed Redeemed from the pit From the house of slavery I’m redeemed From the grasp of the violent Redeemed from the power of Sheol Redeemed from the curse of the Law Redeemed from all evil By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed O Death where is thy sting By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed O Grave where is thy victory I’m redeemed but not by silver Redeemed but not by gold Not through the blood of goats or calves Or anything perishable I’m redeemed through the blood of Christ Sealed for the day of redemption Redeemed and given life As God’s own possession By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed O Death where is thy sting By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed O Grave where is thy victory By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed O Death where is thy sting By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed O Grave where is thy victory By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed He conquered death when He died for me By Christ redeemed By Christ redeemed No grave could hold Him, He’s alive and free

People try to pay; pay to get away Get away to play People start to drown; debt all around Lifeboats sinking down Where no hope can be found Jesus refuge of the weary Jesus harbor from the storm When doubts like rain clouds form Jesus refuge of the weary Rapid transit, Quick Trip, frequent flyer, Sprint, Federal Express, time crunch, fast food, drive-thru SlimFast, Speedo, Quicken, rush hour, Drive-by, Day Runner, Sonic, bullet trains Out-of-breath-red-faced folks need Jesus refuge of the weary Jesus harbor from the storm When doubts like rain clouds form Jesus refuge of the weary Jesus refuge of the weary Jesus harbor from the storm When doubts like rain clouds form Jesus refuge of the weary

The air polluted by wicked talk The stench of pride humid and thick How could spiritual beauty survive And still be a salve for the sick? The mind’s poor soil like the sand and clay The shifting pursuits of the flesh How could a spiritual beauty thrive And produce a fragrance so fresh? Lo, how a rose Lo, how a rose How the Rose of Sharon grows Lo, how a rose Lo, how a rose How the Rose of Sharon grows The bone-dry land of desolate hearts Longing for life giving water How could spiritual beauty revive Love in dead sons and daughters The Rose of Sharon crowned with thorns Obedient to death on a cross How could spiritual beauty despised Be plucked to save the lost Lo, how a rose Lo, how a rose How the Rose of Sharon grows Lo, how a rose Lo, how a rose How the Rose of Sharon grows Lo, how a rose Lo, how a rose How the Rose of Sharon grows Lo, how a rose Lo, how a rose How the Rose of Sharon grows How the Rose of Sharon grows

In the beginning was the Word And the Word was with God And the Word was God Through Him all things were made And being found in human form Jesus humbled Himself Fully obedient Even the death of the cross Of the Father's love begotten Of the Father's love begotten God from God; begotten not made Of the Father's love begotten Of the Father's love begotten Not just a prophet; not just a teacher But God in the flesh Not just a man Son of Man and Son of God Of the Father's love begotten Of the Father's love begotten God from God; begotten not made Of the Father's love begotten Of the Father's love begotten Jesus is divine; one with the Father Come to the Father through Jesus the Son Of the Father's love begotten Of the Father's love begotten God from God; begotten not made Of the Father's love begotten God from God; begotten not made Of the Father's love begotten
