Psalm 63

Verse 1

My soul is so thirsty, my flesh faints for You
Down here, dry and weary, where water is scarce
But rather than searching, my gaze turns on high
Your glory above,
Your pow’r and Your love
Are better than life.

Verse 2

These dry lips will praise You, as long as I live
And, now, in Your name I will lift up my hands
Though now I am hungry, my soul soon will feast
And my lips that taste
Such riches of grace
Will joyfully sing.

Verse 3

And when I have eaten my fill of Your bread
I will not forget You when I go to bed
In watches of midnight, my thoughts still will dwell
With joy I will sing
Here under Your wings
For You are my help

Verse 4

My soul clings to Jesus, for by Him I’m held
While those which would harm me will sink down to hell
The sword shall consume them, and silence their lies.
But our mouths will sing
For Christ, our great King
Will be our true prize.

Though I Stumble

Verse 1

Though I stumble, I will not fall
For He holds me by His right hand
Though I fall down, yet I will rise
Because He hears me when I cry

Though I rise up, I will not boast
For He lifts me by His great grace
Though I boast not, yet I will sing
For my boast is that He loved me.

Verse 2

Mountains crumble, but I won’t fear
Because His help is ever near
Though I fear Him, I’m not afraid
For my refuge is in His strength

Though He slay me, yet I will trust
For He knows that I am but dust
Though my trust fails, hope is not gone
When I’m faithless, His love goes on

Verse 3

Though I’m grieved by so many trials
Though it must be, but for a while
As gold in fire, He makes me pure
Until the day when He returns

Though I know not that day or hour
I’m watching til I hear His voice
Though I’ve never laid eyes on Him
I love Him now, and now rejoice!

If I Should Seek

Verse 1

If I should seek to know Your grace
The breadth of such a quest
Would take me very far way
As far as east from west

Verse 2

If I should climb to catch the view
How high Your love’s sustained
It would take me high as heav’n
Is stretched above earth’s plain.

Verse 3

If I should live as long need be
To know Your mercy’s end
Time eternal would not span
The length to comprehend

Verse 4

No, I’m too small to wrap my mind
Around Your ways, O God
Yet small enough to wrap myself
In ever widening awe.

We Are a Nation

Verse 1

Welcome daughters, sons and prodigals
Our Father, He has drawn us here to
Shelter in the shadow of His wings

He has called us from the dismal dark
Into His light, so marvelous so
Let us now proclaim His praise and sing

Chorus 1

For we are a nation, the people He’s possessed
He sought us and bought us, and counted us as blessed
And we are a temple built out of living stones
On Christ the foundation, the precious cornerstone

Yes, we are a nation and we’re His.

Verse 2

Welcome sons and daughters of the King
You chosen race, you royal priests a
People He’s possessed and called His own

We are wand’ring in a foreign land
Beware, take care, abstain from sin
Which wages war against our weary souls

Chorus 2

We’re strangers, wayfarers, soujourners on this earth
But natives of heaven, that place of greater worth
We’re citizen’s seeking the city built by God
It’s better and by faith we see it from afar.

Yes, we are a nation and we’re His.

Don’t Look Back

Verse 1

This old world is almost gone,
Zoar’s burning for it’s wrong
So lift your eyes to the hills and don’t look back!

Though battalions form behind
And you’re trapped on ev’ry side
God will fight, just be quiet and don’t look back!

Chorus

Don’t look back, though the world is close behind
Don’t draw back, press on toward that upward prize
Don’t shrink back like ones who walk alone
Fix your eyes on Christ, don’t look back, He’ll lead us on.

Verse 2

There’s a pearl of great price,
Worth the riches of this life
So count the cost, sell it all and don’t look back!

See, the path the Savior lays
Leads from cross to stony grave
But then life outshines the strife, so don’t look back!

Verse 3

We’ve been given seed to sow,
Preach the word and let them know
Yes, put your hand to the plow and don’t look back!

Soon, one day our King will come,
And by His blood we’ll overcome
No, don’t retreat, don’t concede ’til Kingdom come!
