By the Lord

Let us rejoice, let us be glad.

You have given me life.
You have given me life.
I will proclaim the wonders you do!
Verse 2
Your hand raised me up in triumph,
You have given me life.
You have given me life.
I will proclaim the wonders you do!

The stone which the builders rejected

In Every Age

Verse 1
Long before the mountains came to be
And the land and sea and stars of the night
Through the endless seasons of all time
You have always been, You will always be
Refrain
In every age, O God
You have been our refuge
In every age, O God
You have been our hope
Verse 2
Destiny is cast, and at your silent word
We return to dust and scatter to the wind
A thousand years are like
A single moment gone
As the light that fades at the end of day
Verse 3
Teach us to make use of the time we have
Teach us to be patient even as we wait
Teach us to embrace our every joy and pain
To sleep peacefully and to rise up strong

On Eagle’s Wings

Verse 1
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord, "My Refuge,
My Rock in Whom I trust."
Refrain
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of His Hand.
Verse 2
The snare of the fowler
will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under His Wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
Verse 3
You need not fear
the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
Verse 4
For to His angels
He's given a command,
To guard you in all of your ways,
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

All That is Hidden

Verse 1
If you would follow me
Follow where life will lead
Do not look for me among the dead
For I am hidden in pain, risen in love
There is no harvest without sowing of grain
Refrain
All that is hidden will be made clear
All that is dark now will be revealed
What you have heard in the dark
Proclaim in the light
What you hear in whispers
Proclaim from the housetops
Verse 2
If you would honour me
Honour the least of these
You will not find me dressed in finery
My Word cries out to be heard
Breaks through the world
My Word is on your lips and lives in your heart
Verse 3
If you would speak of me
Live all your life in me
My ways are not the ways
That you would choose
My thoughts are far beyond yours
As heaven from earth
If you believe in me my voice will be heard
Verse 4
If you would rise with me
Rise through your destiny
Do not refuse the death which brings you life
For as the grain in the earth
Must die for rebirth
So I have planted your life deep within mine
