It’s every single day
I turn and walk away
I know I’m hurting You

I hear Your beck and call
Yet I put up the wall
To try and drown your muse

And as I throw a tantrum I know that I am wrong
When I look into Your eyes I see a love so strong

And all I can say is, “I’m sorry Lord! I’m sorry Lord!”
And all I can do is repent
I know when it comes to faith that I’m a whore
So search my heart, will You relent?

Raise your voice in joyful noise and praise the Lord on high!
It’s time to celebrate and sing His name, it’s Adonai!
Now hold hands and join the dance, for we shall dance as one
Move your feet to match the beat for God and for His Son
We praise the LORD for what He’s done!

Hallelu! Hallelu! Hallelu Yah!
Praise the LORD! We have found the Messiah!
Jesus is the Holy One!
Hallelu! Hallelu! Hallelu Yah!
Praise the LORD! We have found the Messiah!
Jesus, died to save us and He’s risen!

Virgin birth brought Him to earth in the town, Bethlehem
A shoot from Jesse, line of David, called Immanuel
Endured the cross to save the lost and then He scorned it’s shame
And now He’s seated, death defeated, name above all names!
Our God is a God who saves!

Hallelu! Hallelu! Hallelu Yah!
Praise the LORD! We have found the Messiah!
Jesus is the Holy One!
Hallelu! Hallelu! Hallelu Yah!
Praise the LORD! We have found the Messiah!
Jesus, died to save us and He’s risen!

He is risen! He is risen indeed!

Our God has a history
Of power, strength, and might
Our God is always listening
To the broken and contrite
Our God is such a mystery
He made and saved us by His Word
Our God has never seen defeat
He will never be deterred

He used Gideon’s army to bring peace to us all
Used trumpets and yelling to make Jericho fall
But a story that needs to be told time and again
Is about the power He holds over sin and death

Unlike Samson, when he died
And killed so many more
Than he did when he was alive
When Jesus was crucified
He saved us all in His death
Which couldn’t hold Him He reigns on high

Tell me the stories
Cause I don’t want to forget
Sing of his glories
His kingdom will never end

(a child)
Love that holds me tight
Grace that pulls me through
When in dark, You’re light
Patience paints Your hue

We all who are Your nation
Believe Your word is true
Jesus Your advocation
Makes God, our sin, deaf to

Lord we love You
Lord we love You
Lord we love You

(A Young Adult)
Peace that makes things right
Power that makes things new
For our souls You fight
Our hearts You pursue

We all who are Your nation
Believe Your word is true
Jesus Your advocation
Makes God, our sin, deaf to

Lord we love You
Lord we love You
Lord we love You

We will sing a song of love!
Will You descend on us like a dove?
Cause Lord we love You
Lord we love You
Lord we love You

(A grandparent)
Love that holds me tight
Grace that pulls me through
Jesus, You’re the light
Take us home with You

Lord, I’m two for two
Since the moment I woke up I’ve done nothing
But sin against You
And Lord, I’m sore depressed
This pain I bury deep within my chest

You said, “Go and sin no more!”
But I’m unfaithful to You,
If You’ve been keeping score
I’m a whore
But that’s not what You do
If I confess instead
You have said
I can be renewed…

[God to us]
Go! Go and sin no more!
My child I once died for your life
And I settled the score!
Kid now I’ve set you free!
I won’t hold nothing against you
Pick up your cross
Follow me… and you’ll see

I’ve got a new name
I’m living a life without shame
Nothing will be the same
Because I know that my heart You have claimed!

I’m singing a different tune
And listen Jesus, It’s all cause of You, Lord!
It’s for sure You’re the one to blame
And I can hardly contain that

You are the reason that I love to sing
You are the reason that I know the King
You are my Savior, my God, and my Friend
And today…
Is a good day

I miss Your big strong arms
That held me safe from harm
What have I done to you?
I hate that I’m so crude

I feel like I can’t boast
About what matters most
My sin keeps me from You
How can I be so lewd?

Yet here You are
Here with me
Saying You’ve already gone and set me free
You lift me up
And say, “Follow me!”
I say, “Here I am!”
What a God of mercy!

Forever I am changed
Forever I am saved by grace
I’ll never be the same
Because forever You have
Washed away my stains

Forever I am Yours Adonai
Forever I have given up my life

Forever I’m Yours!
My heart, how it soars!
When we dance as one accord
When you lift me up!
And you spin me around
I know You’re my prince, my King, my Crown
I am Yours, forever I vow

See the rabbit clothed in white
See the grasshopper take flight
See the morning frost or dew
I see You

Hear the wind blow through the trees
Hear the waves of crashing seas
Hear the wolf howl at the moon
I hear You

And oh! Your wonder-filled creation
Is full of cool sensations
From the depths up to the stars
And I will join the jubilation
And sing my admiration
To You God, for who You are

Smell the flowers as they grow
Smell the earthy ground below
Smell the big and juicy stew
I smell You

Feel the softness of the grass
Feel the warmth of the sun’s blast
Feel the strength of earthquakes move
I feel You

And oh! Your wonder-filled creation
Is full of cool sensations
From the depths up to the stars
And I will join the jubilation
And sing my admiration
To You God, for who You are

Taste and see that the Lord is good!
Taste and see the the Lord is good!
Be still! And know that He is God!

We’re here to raise our glasses and sing!
To our One and Only, God, our Risen King
We’re here to celebrate and dance!
Cause You have chosen us for Your divine romance!

Let’s dance!

We’re here to raise three cheers for You!
The God whose promises are true
The LORD is powerful and strong!
And all creation sings along

Cause Your love, it reaches to the skies
Your arms stretched open wide
When on the cross You died
But You rose, and You’re alive!
And we will shout and praise
The One who makes our days
And sets our hearts ablaze

We celebrate!  We celebrate!
