Father, I Wait for You
1 Father, I wait for You,
quiet, I wait for You,
safe and secure.
God is a trusty rock,
fortress and sturdy lock,
saving me from the shock,
protected, sure.

2 Why do you threaten me,
challenge my dignity?
You shall be slain.
They are a leaning wall,
swaying and bound to fall;
falsely they bless, and all
they say is vain.

3 So I will wait for God,
quiet, I hope for God,
safe and secure.
God is a trusty rock,
fortress and sturdy lock,
saving me from the shock,
protected, sure.

4 God is a strength to me,
fortress and sanctuary,
glory and power.
People of every race,
constantly plead for grace;
God will, in every case,
remain their tower.
 
5 People are vanity,
lying humanity,
flying away.
Trust not in robbery,
vigor or snobbery;
wealth turns to poverty,
and does not pay.

6 One thing God said to me,
twice He has read to me:
"Strength comes from God."
Grace is from You, my Lord,
and, by Your holy word,
You give what we deserve
beneath Your rod.
 

Jesus Is Lord
1 “Jesus is Lord” – the cry that echoes through creation:
Resplendent power, eternal Word, our Rock,
The Son of God, the King whose glory fills the heavens,
Yet bids us come to taste this living Bread.
 
2 “Jesus is Lord” – whose voice sustains the stars and planets,
Yet in His wisdom laid aside His crown,
Jesus the Man, who washed our feet, who bore our suffering,
Became a curse to bring salvation’s plan.
 
3 “Jesus is Lord” – the tomb is gloriously empty,
Not even death could crush this King of love.
The price is paid, the chains are loosed, and we’re forgiven,
And we can run into the arms of God.
 
4 “Jesus is Lord” – a shout of joy, a cry of anguish,
As He returns, and every knee bows low.
Then every eye and every heart will see His glory,
The Judge of all will take His children home.
 

I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art
1 I greet Thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
my only trust and Savior of my heart,
who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray Thee from our hearts all cares to take.
 
2 Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, O King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of thy pure day.
 
3 Thou art the Life, by which alone we live,
and all our substance and our strength receive;
O comfort us in death's approaching hour,
strong-hearted then to face it by Thy pow'r.
 
4 Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
no harshness hast Thou and no bitterness:
make us to taste the sweet grace found in Thee
and ever stay in Thy sweet unity.
 
5 Our hope is in no other save in Thee;
our faith is built upon Thy promise free;
O grant to us such stronger hope and sure
that we can boldly conquer and endure.
 
 
Hallelujah, What a Savior!
3 Guilty, vile, and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! can it be?
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
 
4 Lifted up was He to die,
"It is finished," was His cry;
Now in heav'n exalted high,
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
 

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.
 
2 There lies beneath its shadow but on the further side
The darkness of an awful grave that gapes both deep and wide;
And there between us stands the cross two arms outstretched to save
A watchman set to guard the way from that eternal grave.
 
3 Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess;
The wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.
4 I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by, to know no gain or loss,
My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.
 

Hallelujah, What a Savior!
5 When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we'll sing,
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
