Now is the time
for reason.
Take time to listen
here.
You may think we're
teasin’ -
Oh - but we're gonna
make the message clear.
Heaven declares
his glory.
The stars are at
his command.
The creation tells
his story
and shows his
command!
-Chorus-
Tell me, who is
like him?
No one’s like the
Lord
He made the heavens,
then the earth
Who is like him?
No one’s like him.
Who made the lights
that shine up above?
Who is like him?
No one’s like the
Lord
He left his
testimony
by being so kind.
Giving us rain in
season
And lots of sunshine
He prepares
for our
tables -
our children can
eat.
Tho’ he is unseen,
we should fall at
his feet
-Chorus Two-
Tell me, who is
like him?
No one’s like the
Lord
He made the heavens,
then the earth.
Who is like him?
No one’s like him.
Then made the lights
that shine up above -
who is like him?
No one’s like him!
Who put the
life
in a little seed?
Who is like him?
No one’s like him!
Who knows exactly
what we need?
Who is like him?
No one’s like the
Lord!
There are
just two
questions,
we'd like to leave
with you.
Do you really know
him?
And all he’s done
for you?
He sent his son
Jesus
to die for our sin;
To fill us with
his Spirit;
So we can walk with
him.

(Chorus)
From the rising
of the sun, to the going down of the same,
the name of the
Lord is to be praised.
From sea to
shining
sea, the creation displays His glory,
the name of the
Lord is to be praised.
(Verse1)
See His power and
majesty in the simplest of things.
Be affected by the
wonder that he brings. Cause…
-Repeat Chorus-
(Verse2)
Do not slight what
he has shown to you, hold it close to your heart.
Be excited by the
plans He has,
'cause you are part.
-Repeat Chorus-
(Bridge)
How wonderful are
the things we see.
But who’s the one
who made them?
Who’s the one who
set them there for all to see -
the sun, the moon,
the earth, and stars...
All the living
things?
He placed them there
to remind us that...
Words and
Music:
Rufus Harris
I used to think
that I could stand up on my own.
In my thoughts I
was conceited -
I’d be all right
alone.
But then, you
got
my attention,
and then exposed
my need.
Took the blinds
from my eyes
and helped me see
that...
-Chorus-
You are the One
I need
You are the One
I need
You are the One
I need
You are the One
I need
Time has
taught me
on whom I can depend.
I can’t lean on
everybody
that says they are
my friends.
I am learning all
my lessons -
you help me know
them well.
My path is getting
brighter -
that’s why I tell
that...
- Repeat Chorus-
Right from
the start,
no one has loved me like you do - from the heart.
To my surprise,
you opened my eyes, and there you were - just standing there.
And only to your
glory
I tell the story...
- Repeat Chorus-

From the
beginning,
you created land
and sea.
All for your
children,
so we might live
a life that’s full
and complete. It was part of your plan.
So we might know
and believe that
there is nothing
without thee.
-Chorus-
Cause, everything
is yours Lord.
What do we have
that’s not from thee?
It's all, abundance
from thine own hand,
everything is yours.
Help us to
see Lord,
that all we have
comes from your hand.
Placed in our care
- all for your glory.
So with others we
might share -
it’s part of your
plan.
So we might help,
those in need
To be your voice,
hands and feet
-Repeat Chorus-
All we have
comes
from your hand,
so what can we give
to thee?
Our breath,
strength,
hope and joy -
you give generously
Words and
Music:

Where do we go when
we are troubled?
When we don’t know
which way to turn?
How can we be pulled
from the rubble? Tell me!
Who alone can meet
these concerns?
We look for
the testimony
of what
Jesus says he’ll
do in his word.
'Cause he is the
one and only -
with the news that’s
good when it is heard.
We must meditate
on his promise.
We must turn from
our sin - we must obey his word - he is the Captain!
Listen, who
are we
to resist his wisdom?
How can we push
his help away?
We know to be found
in his kingdom - oh yeah! -
Our path must be
the narrow way
We should no
more
play the games
of compromise and
make light of his purpose.
We must focus on
the goal to win the prize that he has for us.
Because he is our
friend, on him we can depend.
But we must realize
he is the Captain!
-Chorus-
The Lord
Jesus is
the Captain - we follow.
Tho’ the road is
dark - he lights the way.
Jesus is the Captain
- we follow.
Who else for us
has the strength today?
Jesus is the Captain
- we follow.
He’s the word of
life, where else can we go?
Jesus is the Captain
- we follow.
'Cause he loves
us and died to show us so.
How can we
surely
win this battle,
when enemies around
us rage?
Are we to depend
on our muscle - oh no - to hold back this very violent age?
We should no
more
play the
games of compromise
and make light of his purpose.
We must focus on
the goal to win the prize that he has for us.
Because he is our
friend
On him we can depend.
But we must realize
He is the Captain!

There’s no
joy lest
I’m with you -
I’m found in despair.
My life blossoms
cause I’m with someone who cares.
You are streams
in the desert
My lamp in the
night,
when I am with you everything’s all right.
-Chorus A-
You are:
the source of love
so full of life
my everything
so nice - Hey Lord
It’s so good
since
I’ve known you,
I rest in your care.
Your love it soothes
me it's not shallow anywhere.
You are drink to
the thirsty Lord.
A friend to one
in need
When I am with you
all is well with me!
-Repeat
Chorus A-
-Chorus B-
You are:

Slidin’ back,
you're
feeling like you can’t go on.
The pressure seems
to much to bear.
And when you pray
it seems like…he isn’t there -
but don't you
despair.
Your life it
means
so much to Him
You’re loved so
much that He died…
It will be
remembered
all the tears you’ve cried - He’ll dry your eyes.
-Chorus-
‘Cause Jesus
is risen.
The Spirit is moving.
There’s hope for
the whole world and that is so soothing.
A people in darkness
have seen a great light.
‘Cause Jesus is
risen and has saved their lives.
So where can
you
go, can go from here.
And what do you
think you will find?
Lost in the maze
of the corridors of your mind.
It’s not as
hard
as you think it is.
Just a little faith
and you’ll see.
He will lift you
up and set your spirit free - if you believe…
-Repeat Chorus-
If you
believe…new
life you’ll receive
and you’ll find
peace within all for the asking believe Him today.
Oh, believe him
today
You must believe
Him
Oh, believe him
today

A ruler came

The Master made

I say to you, be

You children

because only you
renew my mind.

Jesus, you
gave all
for us,
so that we all would
trust
that through your
love, we’d live again…
You love us like,
like we’re your friends.
Your love for us
affects, the way we walk.
How we live and
how we talk.
Our hearts are
filled
with much gratitude.
We praise your name
cause all this is true.
-Chorus-
We Long to Glorify
Thee
We Long to Glorify
Thee.
In all we do,
In all we say,
We Long to Glorify
Thee
Only you
arose and
live
and over all the
victory gives.
Death could not
keep hold of you.
Oh no, cause the
prize you kept in your view.
The Lord has
set
you on the highest plane.
Gave you a name
above every name,
that before you
every knee would bow
So through your
mercy we start right now.
-Chorus-
-Bridge-
Amazing grace,
how sweet the sound
that saved a lot like we.
We once were lost
but now we are found - were blind, but now we see.
When we’re with
you ten thousand years - bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days
to sing your praise than when we had first begun.
Oh Lord
Glory, Glory
Glory to God - We
sing your praises Oh!
Glory, Glory
Glory to God

heaven to earth replies.
