Praise Selections

WE’VE COME THIS FAR BY FAITH

We’ve come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord,

Trusting in His holy Word, He's never failed me yet.

Oh, oh, oh, can't turn a-round,

We've come this far by faith.

 

Just the other day, I heard a man say

He didn't believe in God's -Word,

But I can truly say that I have found the way,

And He's never failed me yet.

 

Don't be discouraged

When troubles come your way.

He'll bear all your burdens,

And turn all your night into day.

 

LET IT RISE

Let the glory of the Lord rise among us.

Let the glory of the Lord rise among us.

Let the praises of our King rise among us.

Let it rise.

 

Oh, let it rise!

Oh, let it rise!

 

Let the power of the Lord . . .

Let the songs of the Lord . . .

Let the shouts of the Lord . . .

 

IN THE SANCTUARY

We lift our hands in the sanctuary

We lift our hands to give You the glory

We lift our hands to give You the praise

And we will praise You for the rest of our days.

Yes, we will praise You for the rest of our days.

 

We clap our hands . . .

 

We sing our song . . .

 

Hallelujah in the sanctuary . . .

 

Jesus!  We give you the praise

Emmanuel! We lift up Your name.

Heavenly Father! Coming Messiah!

And we will praise You for the rest of our days.

Yes, we will praise You for the rest of our days.

 

Yes! Yes Lord for the rest of our days!

 

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah for the rest of our days!

 

WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE LORD

When I Think about the Lord,

How He saved me, how He raised me,

How He filled me, with the Holy Ghost.

How He healed me, to the uttermost.

 

When I Think about the Lord,

How He picked me up and turned me around,

How He placed my feet on solid ground

 

It makes me wanna shout

Hallelujah, Thank you Jesus,

Lord, your worthy, of all the glory,

and all the honor, and all the praise

 

FAITHFUL IS OUR GOD

Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God

Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God

Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God

Faithful, faithful, faithful is our God

 

I'm reaping the harvest God promised me

Take back what the devil stole from me

And I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all

Yes, I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all

 

Holy, holy, holy is our God

Holy, holy, holy is our God

Holy, holy, holy is our God

Holy, holy, holy is our God

 

I'm reaping the harvest God promised me

Take back what the devil stole from me And I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all

Yes, I rejoice today, for I shall recover it all

 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus is our God
