THAT'S WHY WE PRAISE HIM
Tommy Walker (1999)
VERSE
He came to live, live a perfect life,
He came to be the living Word, our Light
He came to die so we’d be reconciled,
He came to rise to show His pow'r and might!
CHORUS
That's why we praise him, that's why we sing
That's why we offer him our ev‘rything
That's why we bow down and worship this king,
'cause He gave His ev‘rything
'cause He gave His ev‘rything.
VERSE
He came to live, live again in us
He came to be our conquering King and Friend
He came to heal & show the lost ones his love
He came to go prepare a place for us
CHORUS
That's why we praise him, that's why we sing
That's why we offer him our ev‘rything
That's why we bow down and worship this king,
'cause He gave His ev‘rything
'cause He gave His ev‘rything.
BRIDGE
Hal-le, hallelujah. Hal-le, hallelujah. (2x)
CHORUS
That's why we praise him, that's why we sing
That's why we offer him our ev‘rything
That's why we bow down and worship this king,
'cause He gave His ev‘rything
'cause He gave His ev‘rything.
MAY THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH
Tim Hughes, Rob Hill (2002)
VERSE 1
May the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart
bless Your name, bless Your name, Jesus
And the deeds of the day and the truth in my ways
speak of You, speak of You, Jesus
CHORUS
For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases You;
And I will give my all to You,
surrender everything I have
and follow You - I'll follow You.
VERSE 2
Lord, will You be my vision,
Lord, will You be my guide
Be my hope, be my light and the way
And I'll look not for riches, nor praises on earth
Only You'll be the first of my heart
CHORUS
For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases You;
And I will give my all to You,
surrender everything I have
and follow You - I'll follow You.
BRIDGE
I will follow, I will follow,
I will follow You. (repeat)
CHORUS
For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases You;
And I will give my all to You,
surrender everything I have
and follow You - I'll follow You.
TRUST AND OBEY
Words: John H. Sammis / Music: Daniel B. Towner (1887)
VERSE 1
When we walk with the Lord
in the light of His Word,
what a glory He sheds on our way;
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
and with all who will trust and obey.
REFRAIN
Trust and obey,
for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.
VERSE 2
But we never can prove
the delights of His love,
until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
and the joy He bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.
REFRAIN
Trust and obey,
for there’s no other way
to be happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey.
VERSE 3
Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at His feet,
or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do;
where He sends, we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
REFRAIN
Trust and obey,
for there’s no other way
to be LIVING IN JESUS –
just to trust and obey.
BY FAITH
Keith Getty, Kryistyn Getty, Stuart Townend (2009)
VERSE 1
By faith, we see the hand of God
In the light of creation’s grand design;
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness,
Who walk by faith and not by sight.
VERSE 2
By faith, our fathers roamed the earth
With the power of His promise in their hearts
Of a holy city built by God’s own hand –
A place where peace and justice reign.
REFRAIN
We will stand as children of the promise,
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.
VERSE 3
By faith, the prophets saw a day
When the longed-for Messiah would appear
With the power to break the chains of sin and death,
And rise triumphant from the grave.
VERSE 4
By faith, the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost
To deliver captives and to preach good news,
In every corner of the earth.
REFRAIN
We will stand as children of the promise,
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.
VERSE 5
By faith, this mountain shall be moved
And the power of the gospel shall prevail,
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His name.
REFRAIN
We will stand as children of the promise,
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward.
Till the race is finished and the work is done,
We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.
