When Trials Come

Verse 1
When trials come no longer fear
For in the pain our God draws near
To fire a faith worth more than gold
And there His faithfulness is told
And there His faithfulness is told

Verse 2
Within the night I know Your peace
The breath of God brings strength to me
And new each morning mercy flows
As treasures of the darkness grow
As treasures of the darkness grow

Verse 3

I turn to wisdom not my own
For ev'ry battle You have known
My confidence will rest in You
Your love endures Your ways are good
Your love endures Your ways are good

Verse 4
When I am weary with the cost
I see the triumph of the cross
So in its shadow I shall run
Till You complete the work begun
Till You complete the work begun

Verse 5
One day all things will be made new
I'll see the hope You called me to
And in Your kingdom paved with gold
I'll praise Your faithfulness of old
I'll praise Your faithfulness of old

Oh How Good It Is (Psalm 133)

Verse 1
Oh how good it is
When the family of God
Dwells together in spirit
In faith and unity
Where the bonds of peace
Of acceptance and love
Are the fruit of His presence
Here among us

Chorus
So with one voice we'll sing to the Lord
And with one heart we'll live out His word
Till the whole earth sees
The Redeemer has come
For He dwells in the presence of His people

Verse 2
Oh how good it is
On this journey we share
To rejoice with the happy
And weep with those who mourn
For the weak find strength
The afflicted find grace
When we offer the blessing
Of belonging

Verse 3
Oh how good it is
To embrace His command
To prefer one another
Forgive as He forgives
When we live as one
We all share in the love
Of the Son with the Father
And the Spirit

Mercy

Verse 1
I'm living proof
Of what the mercy of God can do
If you knew me then
You'd believe me now
He turned my whole life upside down
Took the old and He made it new
That's just what the mercy of God can do

Chorus
Now I'm alive to tell the story
How I've overcome
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of His blood
I'm so glad that my freedom
Wasn't based on what I've done
But the goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood

Verse 2
I thought I deserved
To be six feet beneath the earth
For all the things I've done
The things I've said
The choices made that I regret
Oh I would still be lost
But for the mercy of God

Bridge
Was the cross meant for me
That my Savior carried
Now I've been made free
By the mercy of God
Was the grave meant for me
Where my sin lay buried
Now I stand redeemed
By the mercy of God

Tag
It's His goodness and mercy
And the power of the blood

Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me

Verse 1
What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy my righteousness and freedom
My steadfast love my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to his
Oh how strange and divine I can sing all is mine
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 2
The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side the Savior he will stay
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need his power is displayed
To this I hold my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley he will lead
Oh the night has been won and I shall overcome
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 3
No fate I dread I know I am forgiven
The future sure the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And he was raised to overthrow the grave
To this I hold my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released I can sing I am free
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Verse 4
With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For he has said that he will bring me home
And day by day I know he will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to him
When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Ending
When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I but through Christ in me
Yet not I but through Christ in me

Jesus Over Everything

Verse 1
He came from glory
Took on flesh to save the lost
Grace and mercy displayed upon the cross
Our redemption He's the hope for all mankind
One name over everything
One name over everything

Chorus
Jesus over everything
He reigns forevermore
Our song for all eternity
Jesus Christ is Lord

Verse 2
Who can rival our resurrected King
In one moment He brought death to its knees
All the power and all authority
To one name over everything
One name over everything

Bridge
Over fear over shame
Over all anxiety
Over troubles and all pain
Over sickness and disease
For He reigns on the throne
All praise to Him alone
One name over everything
Over death and all sin
Over hell over the grave
Darkness bows and demons flee
At the mention of His name
For He reigns on the throne
All praise to Him alone
One name over everything
