Beautiful Savior
Stuart Townend
Copyright © 1998 Thankyou Music

ALL MY DAYS I will sing this song of gladness,
Give my praise to the Fountain of delights;
For in my helplessness You heard my cry,
And waves of mercy poured down on my life.

I will trust in the cross of my Redeemer,
I will sing of the blood that never fails;
Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleansed,
Of death defeated and life without end.

I long to be where the praise is never-ending,
Yearn to dwell where the glory never fades;
Where countless worshippers will share one song,
And cries of ‘worthy’ will honour the Lamb!

Beautiful Saviour, Wonderful Counselor,
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history,
You’re the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Star of the Morning, glorious in holiness,
You’re the Risen One, heaven’s Champion,
And You reign, You reign over all!

 

In Christ Alone

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 its grip on me!
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought 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!

 

Wonderful, Merciful, Savior

Wonderful, merciful Savior,
Precious redeemer and Friend;
Who would have thought that a Lamb could
Rescue the souls of men,
O, You rescue the souls of men!

Counselor, Comforter, Keeper,
Spirit we long to embrace;
You offer hope when our hearts have
Hopelessly lost the way,
O, we hopelessly lost the way.

You are the One that we praise,
You are the One we adore!
You give the healing and grace our
Hearts always hunger for,
O, our hearts always hunger for!

Almighty, infinite Father,
Faithfully loving Your own;
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne,
O, we're falling before Your throne.

 

The Power of the Cross
Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
Copyright © 2005 Thankyou Music

Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day;
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then
Nailed to a cross of wood.

This the power of the cross:
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath -
We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh to see the pain written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Every bitter thought, every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

This the power...

Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath
Quakes as it's Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two; dead are raised to life;
Finished! the victory cry.

This the power...

Oh to see my name written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death; life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.

This the power of the cross:
Son of God, slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.

 

Amazing Love
Graham Kendrick

My Lord, what love is this that pays so dearly;
That I, the guilty one may go free?

Amazing love, O what sacrifice!
The Son of God giv'n for me;
My debt He pays, and my death He dies
That I might live, that I might live.

And so they watched Him die, despised, rejected;
But O the blood He shed flowed for me!

Amazing love...

And now the love of Christ shall flow like rivers;
Come wash your guilt away, live again!

Amazing love...

 

Before the Throne of God Above
Charitie Bancroft (1863), Vikki Cook
Copyright (C) 1997 PDI Worship

Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea,
A great High Priest whose name is Love, who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands, my name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heaven He stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair and tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there, who made an end to all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free,
For God the Just is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me,
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb, my perfect, spotless righteousness!
The great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace!
One with Himself, I cannot die! My soul is purchased with His blood!
My life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Savior and my God,
With Christ my Savior, and my God!
