SONGS OF WORSHIP & PRAISE

Rejoice

Verse 1

Come and stand before your maker

Full of wonder full of fear

Come behold his power and glory

Yet with confidence draw near

For the one who holds the heavens

And commands the stars above

Is the God who bends to bless us

With an unrelenting love

Chorus 1

Rejoice

Come and lift your hands and raise your voice

He is worthy of all praise

Rejoice

Sing the mercies of your king

And with trembling rejoice

Verse 2

We are children of the promise

The beloved of the Lord

Won with everlasting kindness

Bought with sacrificial blood

Bringing reconciliation

To a world that longs to know

The affections of a father

Who will never let them go

Verse 3

All our sickness all our sorrows

Jesus carried up the hill

He has walked this path before us

He is walking with us still

Turning tragedy to triumph

Turning agony to praise

There is blessing in the battle

So take heart and stand amazed

Chorus 2

Rejoice

When you cry to him he hears your voice

He will wipe away your tears

Rejoice

In the midst of suffering

He will help you sing

Wings of an Eagle

Chorus

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

For our hope is found in the power of God

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

Verse 1

As we hope in the Lord we will gain our strength

We will run for miles we will stand up straight

We will not grow weary we will not grow faint

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

Verse 2

For the Lord who is God calls His people home

Not to be afraid as we journey the road

Hand in hand we'll be walking with the Lord our God

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

Christ the Sure and Steady Anchor

Verse 1

Christ the sure and steady anchor

In the fury of the storm

When the winds of doubt blow through me

And my sails have all been torn

Chorus 1

In the suffering in the sorrow

When my sinking hopes are few

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Verse 2

Christ the sure and steady anchor

While the tempest rages on

When temptation claims the battle

And it seems the night has won

Chorus 2

Deeper still then goes the anchor

Though I justly stand accused

I will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed

Verse 3

Christ the sure and steady anchor

Through the floods of unbelief

Hopeless somehow O my soul now

Lift your eyes to Calvary

Chorus 3

This my ballast of assurance

See His love forever proved

All my hope is in the anchor

It shall never be removed

Verse 4

Christ the sure and steady anchor

As we face the wave of death

When these trials give way to glory

As we draw our final breath

Chorus 4

We will cross that great horizon

Clouds behind and life secured

And the calm will be the better

For the storms that we endured

Chorus 5

Christ the shore of our salvation

Ever faithful ever true

We will hold fast to the anchor

It shall never be removed
