LEANING ON EVERLASTING ARMS
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
Refrain:
Leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarms;
leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms.
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
leaning on the everlasting arms?
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
leaning on the everlasting arms. [Refrain]
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name in earth, and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
WE BRING THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE
We bring the sacrifice of praise
Into the house of the Lord
We bring the sacrifice of praise
Into the house of the Lord
And we offer up to you
The sacrifices of thanksgiving
And we offer up to you
The sacrifices of praise
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty!
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
DRAW ME CLOSE TO YOU
Draw me close to You
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I’m Your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
No one else can take Your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way to bring me back to You
Oh-Oh-Oh
You’re all I want
You’re all I’ve ever needed
You’re all I want
Help me know You are near
JESUS, JESUS, JESUS
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
There's just something about that name.
Master, Savior, Jesus,
Like the fragrance after the rain
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away,
But there's something about that name.
PRAISE IS WHAT I DO
Praise is what I do when I want to be close to You
I lift my hands in praise
Praise is who I am, I will praise You while I can
I'll bless You at all times
CHORUS
I vow to praise You through the good and the bad
I'll praise You whether happy or sad
I'll praise You in all that I go through
Because praise is what I do
Cause I owe it all to You
Praise is what I do even when I'm going through
I've learned to worship You
No my circumstance doesn't even stand a chance
My praise outweighs the bad
REPEAT CHORUS
VAMP
Praise is what I do - it's what I do
WE'RE BLESSED
Blessed! Blessed! Blessed! Blessed!
Since thou has walked uprightly as a light in a dark land
Since thou has placed in thine heart all the Lord's commands
He set thee above nations to cast thine enemies away
He's standing up within me, so let me hear you say
CHORUS
We're blessed in the city, we're blessed in the field
We're blessed when we come and when we go
We cast down every stronghold, sickness and poverty must cease
For the devil is defeated, we are blessed!
Thou believest in God only and put no confidence in man
Everything that does concern thee, you placed it in His hands
Though a host rise up against thee and tries to spoil the day
They'll march in one road to harm thee, but they'll flee seven ways
REPEAT CHORUS
VAMP
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
It's gonna work in your favor
Late in the midnight hour, God's gonna turn it around
And around, and around, and around, and around
