Music Monday: Yet not I

One comment

This is “Yet not I but Christ in me” by CityAlight:

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to His
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing: all is mine!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Saviour He will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released, I can sing: I am free!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me

With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!

Music Monday: The Kingdom Is Yours

Leave a comment

Today’s song is “The Kingdom Is Yours”:

Blessed are the ones who do not bury
All the broken pieces of their heart
Blessed are the tears of all the weary
Pouring like a sky of falling stars

Blessed are the wounded ones in mourning
Brave enough to show the Lord their scars
Blessed are the hurts that are not hidden
Open to the healing touch of God

The Kingdom is yours, the Kingdom is yours
Hold on a little more, this is not the end
Hope is in the Lord, keep your eyes on Him

And blessed are the ones who walk in kindness
Even in the face of great abuse
Blessed are the deeds that go unnoticed
Serving with unguarded gratitude

And blessed are the ones who fight for justice
Longing for the coming day of peace
Blessed is the soul that thirsts for righteousness
Welcoming the last, the lost, the least

Hold on a little more, this is not the end
Hope is in the Lord, keep your eyes on Him

Blessed are the ones who suffer violence
And still have strength to love their enemies
Blessed is the faith of those who persevere
Though they fall, they’ll never know defeat

Music Monday: Throne Room Song

Leave a comment

Jesus is in this room
Here right now, here right now
Making this place I stand
Holy ground, holy ground

Your Spirit moves and breathes
All around, all around
All good and perfect things
Flowing down, flowing down

If all of the heavens are singing along
With the saints and the elders in glorious song
And the praises they sing never seem to get old
Then I’ll stay here forever singing

Holy, holy, holy Lord
God Almighty, over all
You were, You are, and You’ll be forever
The King, enthroned, in glorious splendor
Holy, holy Lord

Gentle love calling me
Closer still, closer still
Jesus, You’re guiding me
To Your will, to Your will

If all of the heavens are singing along
With the saints and the elders in glorious song
And the praises they sing never seem to get old
Then I’ll stay here forever singing

The veil is torn and the doors fling wide
I see glory as I run inside
The throne room, before You, I bow, I bow
The veil is torn and the doors fling wide
I see glory as I run inside
The throne room, before You, I bow
The veil is torn and the doors fling wide
I see glory as I run inside
The throne room, before You, I bow

Music Monday: The Lord is my salvation

Leave a comment

This is “The Lord is my salvation” by Shane & Shane:

[Verse 1]
The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation

[Verse 2]
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun
The Lord is my salvation

[Chorus]
Who is like the Lord our God
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation

[Verse 3]
My hope is hidden in the Lord
He flow’rs each promise of His Word
When winter fades I know spring will come
The Lord is my salvation

[Bridge]
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
The Lord is our salvation

Music Monday: I will wait for you

Leave a comment

The group “Shane & Shane” do a fantastic job on this song, “I will wait for you”, which is based on one of my favourite Psalms, Psalm 130…

Out of the depths I cry to You
In darkest places I will call
Incline Your ear to me anew
And hear my cry for mercy Lord

Were You to count my sinful ways
How could I come before Your throne
Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze
I stand redeemed by grace alone

I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied

So put Your hope in God alone
Take courage in His power to save
Completely and forever won
By Christ emerging from the grave

Now He has come to make a way
And God Himself has paid the price
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice

Oh I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight

Music Monday: In Christ Alone

Leave a comment

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: More than we could want

[Verse 1]
Be healed in Jesus’ name
Go and sin no more
He washed all your stains
Deliverance is His name

[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy, mercy, behold the Lamb
Mercy, mercy, behold the Lamb

[Chorus]
The Kingdom of God is among us
With blessings and portions for all
Come take a seat at the table
There’s more than we could ever want

[Verse 2]
Be free in Jesus’ name
The Savior has overcome
He’s loosed every chain
Deliverance is His name

[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy, mercy, behold the Lamb
Mercy, mercy, behold the Lamb

[Bridge]
See how beautiful, see how powerful
Forgiveness still flows from His veins
See how beautiful, see how powerful
A brush of His robe and I’m changed
See how beautiful, see how powerful
Every time we come near
See how beautiful, see how powerful
There are no boundaries here
There are no boundaries here, oh

[Outro]
The Kingdom of God is among us
With blessing and portions for all
So come take a seat at the table
There’s more than we could ever want
