Joyful | Hear Our Praises/Friend of God

May our homes be filled with dancing
may our streets be filled with joy
May injustice bow to Jesus
as the people turn to pray

From the mountains
to the valley
hear our praises
rise to You

From the Heavens
to the nations
hear our singing
fill the air

May a light shine in the darkness
as we walk before the cross
May Your glory fill the whole earth
as the water o’er the seas

From the mountains
to the valley
hear our praises
rise to You

From the Heavens
to the nations
hear our singing
fill the air

Repeat Refrain

Who am I that You are mindful of me
That You hear me
when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me
How You love me

I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

Who am I that You are mindful of me
That You hear me
when I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me
How You love me
it’s amazing
it’s amazing

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend

I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
I am a friend of God
He calls me friend
He calls me friend
You call me friend

Worship | Gratitude

All my words fall short
I got nothing new
How could I express
All my gratitude?

I could sing these songs
As I often do
But every song must end
And You never do

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

I’ve got one response
I’ve got just one move
With my arm stretched wide
I will worship You

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

So come on, my soul
Oh, don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord

Oh come on, my soul
Oh, don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord

Come on, my soul
Oh, don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord

So I throw up my hands
Praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

Creation calls
Prepare the way

His pow’r is without and end
His strength is victory’s treasure
Let all who call His name

Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 72 Justice Shall Flourish

Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

R./ Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

O God, with your judgment endow the king,
and with your justice, the king’s son;
he shall govern your people with justice
and your afflicted ones with judgment.

R./ Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

Justice shall flower in his days,
and profound peace, till the moon be no more.
May he rule from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth.

R./ Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

For he shall rescue the poor when he cries out,
and the afflicted when he has no one to help him.
He shall have pity for the lowly and the poor;
the lives of the poor he shall save.

R./ Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

May his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun his name shall remain.
In him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed;
all the nations shall proclaim his happiness.

R./ Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

Joyful | I Thank God

Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul, this bag of bones
I tried with all my might
But I just can’t win the fight
I’m slowly drifting
Oh, vagabond

And just when I ran out of road
I met a man I didn’t know
And He told me that I was not alone

He picked me up
He turned me around
And placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
And changed my name
Forever free, I am not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God

I cannot deny what I’ve seen
Got no choice but to believe
My doubts are burning
Like ashes in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitterness
You can just keep them moving
For you ain’t welcome here

From now ’til I walk the streets of gold
I’ll sing of how You saved my soul
This wayward son has found his way back home

He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
And changed my name
Forever free, I’m not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Oh, I thank God

Hell lost another one, I am free
I am free
I am free
Hell lost another one, I am free
I am free
I am free

Repeat

He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I’m not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God

Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out of that grave

Repeat

He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I’m not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God
