@ALBUM: Find Us Faithful Steve Green Find.Us.Faithful @SONG: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee Words by Henry van Dyke/Music by Ludwig van Beethoven Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee God of glory, Lord of love Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee Opening to the sun above Melt the clouds of sin and sadness Drive the dark of doubt away Giver of immortal gladness Fill us with the light of day All Thy works with joy surround Thee Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays Stars and angels sing around Thee Center of unbroken praise Field and forest, vale and mountain Flowery meadow, flashing sea Chanting bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, rejoice Mortals, join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began Father love is reigning o'er us Brother love binds man to man Ever singing, march we onward Victors in the midst of strife Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life In the triumph song of life @SONG: What Are the Words? Words by Gloria Gaither/Music by Michael W. Smith What are the words? What are they saying? If I am still I, too, can hear; The skies are singing The breezes whisper "Make friends with silence, Stop and draw near" "Our God is true Our Lord is mighty Glorious Jehovah Is calling you. Now through the thunder Now through the raining Now through the laughter Now through the pain." Chorus Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Repeat Song Repeat Chorus "The testimony given by the heavens is no mere hint, but a plain, unmistakable declaration...'Day after day they pour forth speech'...as though days and nights were but a fountain flowing evermore with Jehovah's praise. HALLELUJAH!" (Charles Spurgeon in "The Treasury of David") @SONG: He Who Began a Good Work in You Jon Mohr Philippians 1:6 Chorus He who began a good work in you He who began a good work in you Will be faithful to complete it He'll be faithful to complete it He who started the work Will be faithful to complete it in you If the struggle you're facing Is slowly replacing your hope With despair Or the process is long And you're losing your song In the night You can be sure that the Lord Has His hand on you Safe and secure He will never abandon you You are His treasure And He finds His pleasure in you Repeat Chorus @SONG: Find Us Faithful Jon Mohr II Timothy 4:7-8 We're pilgrims on the journey Of the narrow road And those who've gone before us line the way Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses Let us run the race not only for the prize But as those who've gone before us Let us leave to those behind us The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives Chorus Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful May the fire of our devotion light their way May the footprints that we leave Lead them to believe And the lives we live inspire them to obey Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone And our children sift though all we've left behind May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find Repeat Chorus "Ask faith to look through the keyhole of the promise and tell you what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes; ask it to listen and tell you whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth. And do you stand on the other side afraid to wet your foot with those sufferings and temptations, which, like a little trickle of water, run between you and glory?" (William Gurnall in "The Christian In Complete Armour") @SONG: Come and See Jon Mohr/David Huntsinger/Bonnie Huntsinger Romans 6:18/Colossians 1:13 To all who are tortured and ravaged by sin The frail and the wounded about to give in There's news of release and captivity's end We've been set free, come and see Oh sleeper awake, come out of the night Throw open the door and step into the light For sin is undone and the wrong is made right We've been set free, come and see Chorus Come and see, the power of sin has been broken The gates of your prisons stands open, come and see Arise, believe, for the power at work both to rescue and save Is the power that raised Jesus Christ from the grave We've been set free, come and see I, too, lived in slavery, unmercifully bound Battered and broken I finally knelt down And there in obedience freedom was found, I've been set free And now through the dungeons of darkness and night I run in the freedom of liberty's light And shout to the captives, "Oh prisoners take flight We've been set free, come and see" Chorus If the enemy's holding a knife to your chest Demanding you give up or die In Christ crucified you've already died And now you are free Chorus @SONG: Cherish the Treasure Jon Mohr I cherish the treasure The treasure of you Lifelong companion I give myself to you God has enabled me To walk with you faithfully And cherish the treasure The treasure of you As I obey the Spirit's voice And seek to do His will I then can see the wisdom of His plan For as He works His will in me I then can love you selflessly And by His grace, can pledge my love to you Chorus This sacred vow I make to you Does not contain an "if" Though I'm aware that trials lie ahead I will love you and pray with you And through it all, I will stay with you Our home will be a refuge of Unconditional love Chorus Cherish the treasure The treasure of you @SONG: Praise You, I Will Praise You! Words by Gloria Gaither/Music by Michael W. Smith Psalm 19 If the sky and galaxies declare Your holy name If all creation finds the words Your power to proclaim Then how can I articulate with words and with my days Your glory and Your majesty and live a life of praise And live a life of... Chorus Praise You, oh Lord I will praise You! My voice will join the chorus That all creation sings Praise You, oh Lord I will praise You! My Master, my Redeemer, my Savior and King If the stars can find a way to tell the story of their King And if the very firmament can find a way to sing How can I keep silent then and not burst into song In praise of my Redeemer who has loved me all along Then Lord I've got to... Repeat Chorus @SONG: As We Sail to Heaven's Shore Words by Phill McHugh/Music by Greg Nelson Deuteronomy 1:31 Storms may rise on seas unknown While we journey towards our home Surely we'll learn what grace is for As we sail to heaven's shore Send us strength O pilgrim guide Sin would drown us in its tide Be close at hand and go before As we sail to heaven's shore Holy Spirit lead us on Give us courage bring the song Lord we trust Your Father's care Will convey us safely there Open or seal off every door As we sail to heaven's shore Straighten our course with every prayer Let heaven's breezes speed us there And grant us mercy evermore As we sail to heaven's shore Draw us near O finest Friend >From dawn's light to evening's end Each passing day we love You more As we sail to heaven's shore As we sail to heaven's shore
