My Risen Lord

You came, My Lord,
My Redeemer, to save,
You reign, My King,
Over the grave;

You died and descended,
Then away rolled the stone,
You took the keys in Your hand,
You’ve taken the throne!

You’re coming one day,
The clouds You’ll blow away,
How great a shout there will be;

Like the thund’rous whirling
Of a tornado swirling,
A hurricane bursting over the sea;

On the wind ‘neath Your wing,
Like an eagle I’ll soar,
Rising, I’ll rise with my risen Lord!

You’re the Root of David,
The Vine of Life,
The Bright Morning Star,
Heaven’s pure light;

You’re the Alpha, Omega,
The Beginning, the End,
And surely and quickly
You’re coming again!


You’re coming one day,
You’ll blow the clouds away,
How great a shout there will be;

Like the thund’rous whirling
Of a tornado swirling,
A hurricane bursting over the sea;

On the wind ‘neath Your wing,
Like an eagle I’ll soar,
Rising, I’ll rise with my risen Lord!

Holy God

O-Oh, Father
O-O-Oh, My God
I raise my eyes to look upon You
            And I see
You’re already looking at me;

O-Oh, Father
O-O-Oh, My God
I hold up my hands to take Yours in mine
            And I find
You’ve been holding my hands all along;

O-Oh, Father
O-O-Oh, My God
I set my feet to walk with You
            And I sense
You’ve been walking with me everyday;

O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God
The closer I get to You,
O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God
The closer I want to be

O-Oh, Father
O-O-Oh, My God
I lift up my thoughts to be filled with You
            And I learn
You’ve filled Your thoughts with me all my life;

O-Oh, Father
O-O-Oh, My God
I open my mouth to call on Your name
            And I hear
You’ve been calling my name from the start;

O-Oh, Father
O-O-Oh, My God
I give my heart to love only You
            And I know
You loved me in Your heart before time;

O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God
The closer I get to You,
O-O-Oh, Holy God, Holy God, Holy God
The closer I want to be
