Lyrics:
I’ve found His grace is all complete
He supplies my every need
While I sit and learn at Jesus’ feet
I am free, indeed
What kind of joy is this?
It’s joy unspeakable
All You’ve done for me
It’s indescribable
Just a taste of your glory
And it’s unnatural
Not to tell the story
Of all You’ve given me
My words are incomplete
It’s joy unspeakable
I’ve found the pleasure I once craved
It’s joy and peace within
What a wondrous blessing! I am saved
From the awful gulf of sin
I’ve found the joy no tongue can tell
How its waves of glory roll
It’s like an overflowing well
Springing up within my soul
I heard stories about Moses in the desert
And I wondered if the years he’d spent there
Were anything like mine
‘Cause he ran trying to escape
The consequences of mistakes he made
Never knew You loved him all the while
And You called his name
And I wish You still spoke through burning bushes
And I wish You still wrote on blocks of stone
‘Cause the sound of this world’s deafening
And I’m having a hard time listening
And I wish Your will was still written on the wall
I heard of two Kings, Nebuchadnezzar and his son
You sent them dreams and visions and Daniel to figure them out
They’d listen for a moment and obey for an instant
And then they’d go their own way
But I wouldn’t know about that
And You wrote on the wall
‘Cause I can’t seem to find You
I just need a little clue
It doesn’t have to be a parting of the sea
If You’d just show me Your way
I know You still want to speak to me
Because I know Your love
It healed this heart of stone
My faith has found a resting place
Not in device or creed
I trust the ever living One
For me his wounds shall plead
I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
It’s enough for me that Jesus saves
This ends my fear and doubt
A sinful soul I come to Him
He’ll never cast me out
My great Physician heals the sick
The lost He came to save
For me His precious blood was spilled
For me His life He gave
Take the world, but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name
But His love abides forever
Through eternal years the same
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Take the world, but give me Jesus
Sweetest comfort of my soul
With my Savior watching over me
I can sing though billows roll
Take the world, but give me Jesus
In His cross my trust shall be
Till, with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face my Lord I’ll finally see
I can’t find a way to escape
From the depths of where You found me
I cry out for a Savior
Take me on to higher ground
Oh take me on to higher ground
Lord, lift me up and let me stand
By faith, on Heaven’s table land
A higher plane than I have found
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground
Oh, plant my feet on higher ground
I don’t want to live life down in the lowlands
I still want to climb that mountain
My strength is already failing
But Lord my goal is higher ground
Oh, Lord my hope is higher ground
I cry out for a Savior
To lead me on to higher ground
Oh, lead me on to higher ground
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story so precious
Sweetest that I ever heard
Tell me a story ’bout a baby born
Leavin’ all of Heaven for an Israel morn
Tell of the angels that sang at his birth
Glory to God and peace on the earth
Tell me a story of a desert fast
Tempted by the devil but he triumphed at last
Tell of his labor and the sorrow he bore
Despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected and poor
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him
Writhing in anguish and pain
Tell of the grave where they laid Him
And how He’s living again
I’ve heard these stories all my life
Every Sunday morning
I met Jesus at the feltboard
I’ve heard these stories so many times
Of how and why You died
And how I can live
But You said all sins can be forgiven
But when You said that did You mean me?
Did You mean me?
You said that we could be more like You
But did you know what I’d do
How I’d fall so short?
And You said confession leads to healing
Do you see I’m here and kneeling
And I’m still not well
But You said that faith can move a mountain
But when You said that did You mean me?
Did You mean me
When You said we were made in Your image?
‘Cause I don’t see much of You in this reflection
Did you mean me
When you said we would do even greater things?
‘Cause I don’t see anything that I have to offer You
Did You mean me?
You said that You would never leave us
But when You said that
Did you mean me?
Please don’t leave me
Did you mean me?
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven
To His feet Your tribute bring
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven
Evermore His praises sing
Gloria! Gloria!
Praise the everlasting King
Lord, it’s for Your fame we sing
Gloria
Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress
Praise Him still the same as ever
Slow to anger, swift to bless
The angels adore Him
They’re face to face
And one day I’ll join them
Sing with the saints from every race
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
O the love of God, how rich and how pure
How measureless and strong
O the love of God
It shall evermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song
When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men, who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God’s love so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
The saints’ and angels’ song
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the oceans dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
Glory to God the angels sang
The night You laid Your glory down
Son of God was born a babe
Forsaking Your beauty and power
For a world of pain
I can’t believe You came
You are glorious
Infinite and wise
You are mighty
Holy there is none beside You
But to save me from my brokenness
You became breakable
Crucify! The people screamed
Striped Your back and pierced Your side
All so I could be redeemed
It was for my life You died
Taking all my shame
And loving me the same
You knew my every last mistake
Still You chose to save me
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Deeper than the deepest sea
The love that led my Christ to die
Is the love that set me free
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore
How He’s loving, ever loving, changing never, nevermore
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own
How for them He’s interceding, watching o’er them from the throne
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best
It’s an ocean vast of blessing, it’s a haven sweet of rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, it’s a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater
No name sweeter
Than Jesus, the hope of glory for my soul
I called out with a troubled heart
And justice heard my cry
Oh Jesus, He heard the groaning of my soul
I owed a debt that I could not pay
And mercy set me free
Oh Jesus, suffered that I might be made whole
