CHASING AFTER YOU

I'm chasing after You

No matter what I have to do

Cause I need You, more and more

 

I'm chasing after You

Just to be closer to You, Jesus

I'm chasing after You, oh

 

THANK YOU LORD 

Thank you Lord

Thank you Lord

Thank you Lord

I just want to thank you Lord

 

Been so good . . .

 

Saved my soul . . .

 

INDESCRIBABLE

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea

Creation revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring

Every creature unique in the song that it sings

All exclaiming

 

Indescribable, uncontainable

You place the stars in the sky and you know them by name

You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable

Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim

You are amazing God

 

Who sees lightning bolts and tell them where they should go

Or sees heavenly store houses laden with snow

Who imagined the sun and gave source to its light

Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night

None can fathom

 

Incomparable, unchangeable

You've seen the depths of my heart and you love me the same

You are amazing God

You are amazing God

(Repeat es)

You are amazing God

 

OH HOW I LOVE JESUS

There is a name I love to hear,

I love to sing its worth;

it sounds like music in my ear,

the sweetest name on earth.

O how I love Jesus,

O how I love Jesus,

O how I love Jesus,

because he first loved me!

 

It tells me of a Savior's love,

who died to set me free;

it tells me of his precious blood,

the sinner's perfect plea.

 

It tells of one whose loving heart

can feel my deepest woe;

who in each sorrow bears a part

that none can bear below.

 

 

YOU ARE GOOD

Lord You are good and Your mercy endureth forever

Lord You are good and Your mercy endureth forever

People from every nation and tongue

From generation to generation

 

We worship You! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

We worship You for who You are

We worship You! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

We worship You for who You are

You are good!

 

You are good all the time

And all the time, You are good!
