To Meet Us 04:21
You took off your robe of glory. You put on an earthly body. God & man together fully, came down to fulfill the story—seeking what was lost. You came down to meet us where we laid down defeated, stretched your hand out to reach us, and lift us up to where you are. You lift us up to where you are. We were thieves, fools, & liars blinded by our own desire. But your love lifted us higher, above the storm & through the fire. Moved by your great love... You came down to meet us where we laid down defeated, stretched your hand out to reach us, and lift us up to where you are. You lift us up to where you are.

In my weaknesses you prove strong. In my foolishness your wisdom is shown. I am humble before you. I fall down at your throne asking for forgiveness. To the humble it is shown. My glorious lord, my worthy king, I am humble before you. I bow down at your feet. I have fallen short of the law, but Jesus’ sacrifice reversed the fall. I am humble before you. I fall down at your throne asking for forgiveness. To the humble it is shown. My glorious lord, my worthy king, I am humble before you. I bow down at your feet. My glorious lord, my worthy king, the crumbs from your table are enough for me.

Let us gather beneath your arms, safe & certain, led by the servant king. We will follow close at your feet eagerly receiving your words & to them cling. Humbly we rest beneath your word. Lead us where it may, we’re devoted to obey. Hold to us when we away, but lead us to the truth—bring us closer to you, God. Draw your children & turn our ears, that your guidance might satisfy our inward thirst. Holy Spirit be our filter, his word keep pure, & fill us ’til we overflow. Humbly we rest beneath your word. Lead us where it may, we’re devoted to obey. Hold to us when we away, but lead us to the truth—bring us closer to you, God. If you’re hungry, come to him. He’ll give you the bread of life. If you’re thirsty, come to him. His blood will satisfy. With your burdens, come to him. I promise his is light. If you’re willing, run to him. The truth will set you free.

If you have the light of life hidden in the darkest night, unleash its loving glow into the world—let love be known. Is it not our God who saves? Any debt to great for Jesus to pay? His call is simply “go”. How could we answer “no” to him? Lord here am I. I’ll leave it all behind. Please take my life. Nothing I have is mine. For all the heavy hearts—to all with a rock on their back, lay it down before his feet, exchanged for never-ending peace. Lord here am I. I’ll leave it all behind. Please take my life. Nothing I have is mine. What are we so afraid of? You make all things possible. What are we waiting for? You make all things possible.

Shout for joy, oh children, for awesome are his deeds. Sing the glory of his name & of his victory. Bless our God, oh people, lift high the sound of praise. For he’s given us abundant life & the promise to be raised. Testify of all the Lord has done. He is listening, he is listening. Sing of the great victory he’s won. Give him praise, give him praise. Shout for joy, oh children, for he delivered us from the yoke of slavery & the wages of our sins. Bless our God, oh people, for his steadfast love remains. Come into his presence setting aside every weight & chain. Testify of all the Lord has done. He is listening, he is listening. All who fear our God who is above, give him praise, give him praise. Testify of all the Lord has done. He is listening, he is listening. Sing of the great victory he’s won. Give him praise, give him praise. You are so good, you are. You are so good to us. You’ve shown your love to us. your steadfast love is good to us. Testify of all the Lord has done. He is listening, he is listening. Sing of the great victory he’s won. Give him praise, give him praise.

Let my feet be used for this—to carry your message further than it’s been. Let my hands be used for this—to take up my cross & follow after you. Let my heart be fully yours—willing to obey you at your word. Let my mind be reassured that you are the life, & my life will be yours. Use me. Use me. Take everything & use me for your glory. Spread your praises like a flood—like the waters fill the earth. Bring your kingdom hear & now, as your Holy Spirit leads us. Use me. Use me. Take everything & use me for your glory. Let the world forget me, leave my pockets empty, but use me! When no one else is willing & I find myself alone, still use me! If it ruins or defames me to magnify your name, please use me! I’ve counted out the cost—it’s a worthy price to pay, so use me!

There’s a veil over my eyes & it’s hindering my sight. It’s heavy—it’s so heavy…it’s no use. But the truth is, even if I had the strength to lift it, my heart would leave it be so I couldn’t see your love. So I cry out to you from this dark & distant place. I cry out for you, & through my blindness say: Let me see Jesus. Let me see grace. Give me a vision of the Lamb smitten in my place. Let me see Spirit. Let me have faith. Give me lungs filled with your fragrance, & lips that speak your name. Let me see Father. Let me know mercy. Let me see you face to face, YHWH. Flow into my body like a flood of living water. Drive out all my sin, purify & cleanse. Make me a temple. Shine into my hearts eye from the top of Mount Sinai. Illuminate my face—illuminate my life. Shine on me & let me see… Let me see Jesus. Let me see grace. Give me a vision of the Lamb smitten in my place. Let me see Spirit. Let me have faith. Give me lungs filled with your fragrance, & lips that speak your name. Let me see Father. Let me know mercy. Let me see you face to face, YHWH. I want to see you face to face, YHWH.

Shalom 05:54
Our great comfort, grant us peace—peace we find within the tempest’s eye. Though the waves would shake us & clouds cast shadows on us, grant us peace while waiting for the light. Our good shepherd, give us rest—rest we find in the valley of the dead. Though the mountains scare us & the journey’s hard before us, give us rest while moving on the way. Shalom in our hearts, shalom by our hands, shalom for the church, shalom to all the earth. Our wise counselor, make us one—one body of many different parts. Though difference divides us & trust not easy for us, unify all people by your love. Our true Father, call us sons—sons of God adopted & reborn. Though our heart condemns us & Adam fell before us, make us to make peace in all the earth. Shalom in our hearts, shalom by our hands, shalom for the church, shalom to all the earth.
