O Perfect Love

Perfect prophesy
Angels sang on Earth
Born of the Virgin Mary
Fulfilled in a baby’s birth
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
You cast out fear
You draw me near
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
My soul finds rest, O Perfect Love
Perfect wisdom spoke
Blessed by Simeon
A sword to pierce the soul
Salvation from oblivion
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
You cast out fear
You draw me near
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
My soul finds rest, O Perfect Love
Perfect sacrifice
Dying at Calvary
Jesus gave His life
While I was His enemy
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
You cast out fear
You draw me near
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
My soul finds rest, O Perfect Love
Prophecy and knowledge will pass away
As for tongues, they will cease
But love never ends
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
You cast out fear
You draw me near
O Perfect Love, O Perfect Love
My soul finds rest, O Perfect Love

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

Earth and All Stars
02:53

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

By Christ Redeemed
04:11
|
|||
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

As high as the heavens are above the earth
His ways are higher, His ways are higher
His ways are higher; higher than ours
God’s holy ways are just and true
God’s holy ways are just and true
A universe of mystery where hope is renewed
God’s holy ways are just and true
As deep as the oceans are below the storms
His thoughts are deeper, His thoughts are deeper
His thoughts are deeper; deeper than ours
God’s holy ways are just and true
God’s holy ways are just and true
A universe of mystery where hope is renewed
God’s holy ways are just and true
His thoughts are not our thoughts
His ways are not our ways
The weight of His glory breaks a new dawn each day
God’s holy ways are just and true
God’s holy ways are just and true
A universe of mystery where hope is renewed
God’s holy ways are just and true
God’s holy ways are just and true

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

Who can cleanse me from my sins
Jesus
Who can make me whole again
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Save me
Save me
Who is the Shepherd and the Lamb
Jesus
Who is the Gate and the great I AM
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Save me
Save me
He who knew no sin became sin for me
Righteousness restored for eternity
Who is the living Bread of Life
Jesus
Whose blood was spilled as a sacrifice
Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Save me
Save me

Lo How a Rose
03:51
|
|||
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
