Full of hope
Full of joy
At the expectation of meeting Him
All our doubts
All our fears
Will evaporate when we see His face
And I know the LORD knows me

Chorus:
And the day will come
And the night will flee
And the earth and sky erupt beautifully
And the One who lives in eternity
Will appear in light to deliver me

I long to see Him look at me
For I know His love for me is real

Like a thief in the night
He will come again at a hour unknown
Be prepared
Be awake
For the warning signs have all been fulfilled
And I know the LORD knows me

(Chorus x 2)

I long to see Him look at me
For I know His love for me is real

(Chorus)

Valley of Vision

One of the songs from the Valley of Vision album by Sovereign Grace Ministries sung today at the Word in Song conference organized and run by Adam Road Presbyterian Centre and Emu Music. Think this song will be introduced in our congregation really soon

O Great God

Based on The Valley of Vision prayer “Regeneration”

Words and Music by
Bob Kauflin

Verse 1
O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore

Verse 2
I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven’s joys
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace

Verse 3
Help me now to live a life
That’s dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me

VERSE 1:
You chose the cross with every breath
The perfect life, The perfect death
You chose the cross
A crown of thorns you wore for us
And crowned us with eternal life
You chose the cross
And though your soul was overwhelmed with pain
Obedient to death You overcame

CHORUS:
I'm Lost in wonder
I'm lost in love
I'm lost in praise forevermore
Because of Jesus' unfailing love
I am forgiven
I am restored

VERSE 2:
You loosed the chords of sinfulness
And broke the chains of my disgrace
You chose the cross
Up from the grave victorious
You rose again so glorious
You chose the cross
The sorrow that surrounded you was mine
"Yet not my will but yours be done" You cried

(by Martyn Layzell)

Refrain:
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
I’d rather be true to His holy name

He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead

(By Rhea F. Miller)

Do not store up here
Things that don't last
Where your treasure is
There is your heart

Teach us to number our days
That we might have wise hearts
Grass withers, flowers will fade
Your word alone will last

Seek and strive, put first
The kingdom of God
All elso that you need
He will provide

Teach us to number our days
That we might have wise hearts
Grass withers, flowers will fade
Your word alone will last

Pain and struggle now
Will not compare
To the glory then
We will all share

Teach us to number our days
That we might have wise hearts
Grass withers, flowers will fade
Your word alone will last
(Coda)
Your word alone will last.

Your Majesty, I can but bow
I lay my all, before You now
In royal robes, I don’t deserve
I live to serve, Your Majesty

Earth and heaven, worship You
Love eternal, faithful and true
Who bought the nations, ransomed souls
Brought this sinner near to Your throne
All within me cries out in praise

(By Jarrod Cooper)
