Leave a comment

Your love is devoted like a ring of solid gold
Like a vow that is tested like a covenant of old
And Your love is enduring through the winter rain
And beyond the horizon with mercy for today

Faithful You have been and faithful you will be
You pledge yourself to me and it’s why I singYour praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips

You Father the orphan
Your kindness makes us whole
And you shoulder our weakness
And your strength becomes our own
Now you’re making me like you
Clothing me in white
Bringing beauty from ashes
For You will have Your brideFree of all her guilt and rid of all her shame
And known by her true name and it’s why I sing

Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips

You will be praised, You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
You will be praised, You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord

You will be praised, You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord
You will be praised, You will be praised
With angels and saints we sing worthy are You Lord

And it’s why I sing
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips
Your praise will ever be on my lips, ever be on my lips

Music Monday: Elohim

Leave a comment

I stand upon the solid
Rock of faith in Christ
This steadfast hope shall not
Break apart within the trial
I am assured His promises will never fail
As long as life remains He is faithful

God is patient
God is kind
He does not envy
He does not boast
His ways are higher than my own, His thoughts consume the great unknown
Of this alone I am sure
My God is love

I draw my breath under His created windswept sky
I know my hope shall last
Long after my flesh retires
From dusk until the dawn He calls His children home
His righteous love outlasts generations

He is Almighty God Elohim
Maker of the earth, He is the Lord of hosts, Heaven’s King
God of endless worth, His kingdom stands above Every power
Every living soul, His love is like the sun
Ever true, shining over allHe is Almighty God Elohim
Maker of the earth, He is the Lord of hosts, Heaven’s King
God of endless worth, His kingdom stands above Every power
Every living soul, His love is like the sun
Ever true, shining over all

Music Monday: King of my heart

Here’s a mash-up from Phil Wickham:

‘Cause You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh
You are good
You are good, oh oh

You’re never gonna let
You’re never gonna let
You’re never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let
You’re never gonna let me down
You’re never gonna let
You’re never gonna let me down

Music Monday: Grace

Leave a comment

Your grace that leads this sinner home
From death to life forever
And sings the song of righteousness
By blood and not by merit

Your grace that reaches far and wide
To every tribe and nation
Has called my heart to enter in
The joy of Your salvation

By grace I am redeemed
By grace I am restored
And now I freely walk
Into the arms of Christ my Lord

Your grace that I cannot explain
Not by my earthly wisdom
The Prince of life, without a stain
Was traded for this sinner

Let praise rise up and overflow
My song resound forever
For grace will see me welcomed home
To walk beside my Saviour

Music Monday: One more step

Leave a comment

The song today is “One More Step”, featuring Melanie Tierce:

Why are you sad oh my soul
Why so angry now with yourself
Do you not know there is hope
Don’t you know this isn’t the end

Oh I know that with all these shadows
That somewhere there is sunshine
Out of sight but morning’s coming

One more, one more step
I know you can do it
One more one more step
Yes I know you’ll make it through
One more more step
Slowly and steady you will win this race
One more, one more step
And you’ll reach the promised land

There can be peace in the trouble
It’s the art of lifting your eyes
There can be joy in the sorrow
It may hurt, oh but still you’ve got to keep singing

Oh don’t you dare give up now
The wall’s about to come down
Don’t you dare take your last breath
You’re almost out of the wilderness

Music Monday: In Christ Alone

Leave a comment

I’ve shared a few versions of “In Christ Alone” here on Music Monday. This is my friend Yvette’s favourite:

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.

Music Monday: Testify

One comment

It’s time for some old-school Christian music, “Testify” by POD:

Eternal rhythms in your system so clear
No negatives, take your isms stay clear
We keep it lovely, give you what you won’t hear
And Matisyahu in the house, stand clear
P.O.D. in the house, stand clear
If Jah is for me, tell me who I’m goin’ fear
No I won’t fear
And Jah of Jacob is deserving of my love
And God of Isaac reign blessings from above
Hashem of Abraham will show me the way
I go down on my knees and this is what I pray

Strength of my life, whom shall I dread
When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
Even if there would be an army against me
My heart would not fearSteer clear from weird vibes
Chuck the spirit evil guise must realize
Even if there rise a war against me
In this I trust, it’s a must
Elevated is my head above my enemy
Surround me with the song of glory
Take away the scales from my eyes
Anoint your love upon my life
Have mercy on my soul and hear me when I cry
Do not abandon me and do not forsake me
Leave me on the path of integrity
Even if there would be an army against me
My heart would not fear

Strength of my life, whom shall I dread
When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
Back them up against the wall
Stumble and fall
Them battle y’all and stand tall
Show me favor when I call
Back them up against the wall
Stumble and fall
Battle y’all and stand tall
Show me favor when I call

Matisyahu and P.O.D. eternally with His Majesty
Dwelling in the songs of glory
Dwelling with the songs of glory
