Here are the lyrics for today's gathering:
Father How Sweet
Verse 1
Father how sweet must be the pleasure
You find in Your eternal Son
For long before You made the heavens
Both You and He rejoiced as one
And long before You formed the angels
Before You made the day and night
Jesus exulted in Your presence
And He was all of Your delight
Verse 2
Father what love You've shown to rebels
That You would send Your Son so dear
Into this world of grief and trouble
To bring unworthy sinners near
We'll never fathom how it pained You
When You supplied the offering
To rescue those who had disdained You
To watch Your dear Son suffering
Verse 3
Jesus it fills our hearts with wonder
That You would leave Your heavenly place
To take on flesh to thirst and hunger
To save the ones who spurned Your grace
You came to forfeit every mercy
To die that mercy we would find
And then You hung alone in darkness
So in our hearts Your grace would shine
Verse 4
Jesus in glory You've ascended
Never again to leave Your throne
Because of You we are befriended
Received and welcomed as God's own
Father how sweet now is Your pleasure
In us Your daughters and Your sons
We will delight in You forever
In Jesus You have made us one
In Jesus You have made us one
Man Of Sorrows
Verse 1
Man of sorrows Lamb of God
By His own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid
Verse 2
Silent as He stood accused
Beaten mocked and scorned
Bowing to the Father's will
He took a crown of thorns
Chorus
Oh that rugged cross my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honour unto Thee
Verse 3
Sent of heaven God's own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed Him to that tree
Bridge
Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
When I Survey
Verse 1
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
Verse 2
Forbid it Lord that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood
Verse 3
See from His head His hands His feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown
Verse 4
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul my life my all
Jesus Paid It All
Verse 1
I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness
Watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all
Verse 2
Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Jesus died my soul to save
And melt my heart of stone
Chorus
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Verse 3
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat
Bridge
Oh praise the One
Who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
(REPEAT)
Your Blood Ran Down
Verse 1
Your blood ran down
Your blood ran down
(REPEAT 4X)
Chorus
From Your head down Your face
From Your hands to Your feet
Your blood ran down for me
From Your head down Your face
From Your hands to Your feet
Your blood ran down
Your blood ran down
Your blood ran down for me
How Deep The Father's Love For Us
Verse 1
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Verse 2
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
Verse 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts no pow’r no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
O Come To The Altar
Verse 1
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling
Chorus
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Verse 2
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there's no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling
Bridge
Oh what a Saviour
Isn't he wonderful
Sing alleluia Christ is risen
Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all
Sing alleluia Christ is risen
Verse 3
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you've found
You Bled
Verse 1
You bled Your heart out
Now I feel love beat in my chest
How wonderful
You gave Your beauty
In exchange for my ugliness
How wonderful
You left Your perfection
And embraced our rejection oh
Chorus
How marvellous how boundless is Your love
Is Your love
How wonderful sacrificial is Your love for me
Verse 2
You put on our chains
Sent us out through the open door
How wonderful
You took our sadness
Crowned us with joy and real peace
How wonderful
You left Your perfection
And fought for our redemption oh
Bridge
Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me
How wonderful
Yes Jesus loves me
This is love You gave Yourself
(REPEAT)
