 Maranatha


Verse 1

This is not a performance

And I'm not checking boxes

I'm here to worship

I'm here to worship You

So dust off the cobwebs

And clear out my conscience

Cause I'm here to worship

I'm here to worship You


Chorus

And nothing else

I'm here to worship You

And nothing else

I'm here to worship You

There's no one else

I'm here to worship You

That's all I wanna do


Verse 2

Come and stoke up the furnace

Till my idols are ashes

Cause I'm here to worship

I'm here to worship You

Till there's only one yearning

Till my lukewarm is burning

I'm here to worship

I'm here to worship You


Bridge 1

Hallelujah, Maranatha

Worthy is the lamb

Glory, glory in the highest

The Beginning and the End

Hallelujah, Maranatha

Holy is the Lord

With all the angels

And all of heaven

Bowing down before You


First Things First


Verse 1

May Your Church be the bride

That you've always foreseen

May this house be the place

Where the truth always speaks


PreChorus

May our hands be used

However, You choose

And may our hearts 

Always seek to love You


Chorus

First things first, we call out Your name

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, 

Lord, have Your way

First things first, we seek Your face

Holy Spirit, Spirit, Spirit, 

Teach us to pray

Father, Father, Father 

Come down and reign


Verse 2

May Your church be the sum

Of faith, hope, and love

And let mercy and grace

Burst at the seams


PreChorus

Show us how to love

The world like Your son

So that all who come through

give praise to You


Bridge

We've seen it in our day

It always seems to fail

When You're not first place

We learned from our mistakes

God come and reign

Lord have Your way


Firm Foundation (He Won’t)



Verse 1

Christ is my firm foundation

The rock on which I stand

When everything around me is shaken

I’ve never been more glad

That I put my faith in Jesus

‘cause He’s never let me down

He’s faithful through generations

So why would He fail now?


Chorus 1

He won’t, He won’t


Verse 2

I’ve still got joy in chaos

I’ve got peace that makes no sense

I won’t be going under

I’m not held by my own strength

‘cause I’ve built my life on Jesus 

He’s never let me down

He’s faithful through every season

So why would He fail now? 


Chorus 2 

He won’t, He won’t

He won’t fail 

He won’t fail 


Bridge

Rain came and wind blew

But my house was built on You

I’m safe with You

I’m going to make it through


Tag

I’m gonna make it through

‘Cause I’m standing strong on You

I’m gonna make it through

‘Cause my house is built on You


Refiner


Verse 1

If the altar's where You meet us

Take me there take me there

If what You need is just an offering

It's right here my life is here

And I'll be a living sacrifice for You


PreChorus

You're a fire the refiner

I wanna be consumed


Chorus

I wanna be tried by fire

Purified

You take whatever You desire

Lord here's my life


Verse 2

If Your glory wants to come here

Let it fall we want it all

Your fire is consuming

Fill this place set it ablaze

And I'll be a living sacrifice for You


Bridge

Clean my hands purify my heart

I wanna burn for You only for You

Take my life as a sacrifice

I wanna burn for You only for You




Lord, I Need You



Verse 1

Lord I come I confess

Bowing here I find my rest

And without You I fall apart

You're the one that guides my heart


Chorus

Lord I need You oh I need You

Ev'ry hour I need You

My one defense my righteousness

Oh God how I need You


Verse 2

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more

Where grace is found is where You are

And where You are Lord I am free

Holiness is Christ in me

Where You are Lord I am free

Holiness is Christ in me


Bridge

So teach my song to rise to You

When temptation comes my way

And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You

Jesus You're my hope and stay
