Song Lyrics

How Sweet and Aweful Is the Place

Verse 1
How sweet and aweful is the place
With Christ within the doors
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores
Verse 2
While all our hearts and all our songs
Join to admire the feast
Each of us cry with thankful tongues
Lord why was I a guest
Verse 3
Why was I made to hear Thy voice
And enter while there's room
When thousands make a wretched choice
And rather starve than come
Verse 4
'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in
Else we had still refused to taste
And perished in our sin
Verse 5
Pity the nations O our God
Constrain the earth to come
Send Thy victorious Word abroad
And bring the strangers home
Verse 6
We long to see Thy churches full
That all the chosen race
May with one voice and heart and soul
Sing Thy redeeming grace

Before The Throne Of God Above

Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
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
Verse 4
I bow before the cross of Christ
And marvel at this love divine
God's perfect Son was sacrificed
To make me righteous in God's eyes
This river's depths I cannot know
But I can glory in its flood
The Lord Most High has bowed down low
And poured on me His glorious love
And poured on me His glorious love

Holy Forever

Verse 1
A thousand generations falling down in worship
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who've gone before us
And all who will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb
Pre-Chorus
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
Chorus 1
And the angels cry Holy
All creation cries Holy
You are lifted high Holy
Holy forever
Verse 2
If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemed
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
We'll sing the song forever and amen
Chorus 2
Hear Your people sing Holy
To the King of Kings Holy
You will always be Holy
Holy forever

The Power Of The Cross

Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
Now the daylight flees now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head
Curtain torn in two dead are raised to life
Finished the victory cry
Verse 4
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
Chorus 2
This the power of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a love what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
