WORSHIP IN SONG: GREAT IS
THE LORD (Michael & Deborah
Smith)
Great is the Lord. He is holy and just, by His power we trust in His love;
Great is the Lord, He is faithful and true, by His mercy He proves He is love.
Great is the Lord and worthy of glory, great is the Lord and worthy of praise;
Great is the Lord, now lift up your voice, now lift up your voice, great is the Lord, Great is the Lord.
Great are You, Lord and worthy of glory, Great are You, Lord and worthy of praise;
Great are You, Lord, I lift up my voice, I lift up my voice, great are You, Lord, great are You, Lord.
(1982 Meadowgreen Music Co.)
CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS (Matthew Bridges & George Elvey)
Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! how the heavenly anthem
drowns all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King
through all eternity.
Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing, who died, and rose on high,
who died, eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
Crown him the Lord of Love; behold his hands and side,
those wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified.
All hail, Redeemer hail! For thou has died for me;
thy praise and glory shall not fail
through out eternity. (Public Domain)
I WILL PRAISE YOU LORD (by Robin Brooks)
I will awaken the dawning, I will arise and sing. The fruit
of my lips is the sacrifice that I bring.
Father my heart is faithful, I will
sing praises to Thee. Great is thy faithfulness, great
is thy mercy to me.
Chorus: I will
praise You, Lord; praise You for ever and ever. I will praise You, Lord;
praise You for
evermore. I will praise You, Lord;
praise You for ever and ever. I will praise You, Lord.
(1986

AS THE DEER (by
Martin Nystrom)
As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after You; You alone are my heart's desire,
and I long to worship You. You alone are my strength, my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield;
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship You.
You're my friend and You are my brother even though You are a King. I love You more than any other,
so much more than anything. You alone are my strength, my shield, to You alone may my spirit yield;
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship You. (1984

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD (by Chris Tomlin)
The splendor of the King clothed in majesty let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice.
He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide, and trembles at His voice, trembles at His voice.
Chorus: How great is our God! Sing with me: How great is our God!
And all will see how
great, how great is our God.
And age to age He stands and time is in his hands, beginning and the End, Beginning and the End.
The God-head, three in one, and Father and Spirit and Son, The Lion and the Lamb, Lion and the Lamb. (Repeat chorus)
(bridge)‘Cause You’re the Name above all names, and worthy of all praise. And my heart will sing:
How great is our God. You’re the Name above all names, and worthy of all praise. And my heart will sing:
(repeat chorus)
(bridge) Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art. (repeat chorus)
