A Mighty Fortress

Our God is a consuming fire

A burning holy Flame, with glory and freedom

Our God is the only righteous Judge

Ruling over us with kindness and wisdom

 

And we will keep our eyes on You

And we will keep our eyes on You

 

A mighty fortress is our God

A sacred refuge is Your name

Your kingdom is unshakeable

With You forever we will reign

 

Our God is jealous for His own

None could comprehend His love and His mercy

Our God is exalted on His throne

High above the heavens, forever He is worthy

 

And we will keep our eyes on You

And we will keep our eyes on You

So we can set our hearts on You

Lord, we will set our hearts on You

 

A mighty fortress is our God

A sacred refuge is Your name

Your kingdom is unshakeable

With You forever we will reign

The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

The emblem of suff’ring and shame

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross     

And exchange it someday for a crown

 

Oh that old rugged cross, so despised by the world

Has a wondrous attraction for me

For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above

To bear it to dark cavalry

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross     

And exchange it someday for a crown

 

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine

A wondrous beauty I see

For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

To pardon and sanctify me

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross     

And exchange it someday for a crown

 

To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true

Its shame and reproach gladly bear

Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away

Where His glory forever I’ll share

 

So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

I will cling to the old rugged cross     

And exchange it someday for a crown

Hymn of Heaven

How I long to breathe the air of heaven

Where pain is gone, and mercy fills the streets

To look upon the One who bled to save me

And walk with Him for all eternity

 

Oh, there will be a day when all will bow before Him

There will be a day when death will be no more

Standing face to face with He who died and rose again

Holy, holy is the Lord

 

And every prayer we prayed in desperation

The songs of faith we sang through doubt and fear

In the end, we will see that it was worth it

When He re-turns to wipe away our tears

 

Oh, there will be a day when all will bow before Him

There will be a day when death will be no more

Standing face to face with He who died and rose again

Holy, holy is the Lord

 

And on that day, we join the resurrection

And stand be-side the heroes of the faith

With one voice, a thousand generations

Sing worthy is the Lamb who was slain

 

So let it be today we shout the hymn of heaven

With angels and the saints, we raise a mighty roar

Glory to our God, who gave us life beyond the grave

Holy, holy is the Lord
