Morning dawns
Time to wake
Breakfast on
Coffee made

Kiss you, “Good-bye”

Love you so
“Hold him tight
for me, Lord”

vs. 2

Much to do
First things first
Meet with You
Holy Word

“This day’s Yours

Ev’ry part so
Hold us tight
for You, Lord”

Apron string

Ordinary things
My heart strings
Tie me to you

Hold us, Jesus

Morning, night and noon
Hold us crazy
tight to You

Household noise
Dinner’s made
His deep voice,
“On my way”

Wedding rings

Me and you
Hold us, Jesus
for You

vs. 1
Choirs of angels, salvation's song
Heaven would miss Him while He was gone
Love so high could only belong
'Neath the heart in Virgin womb

vs. 2
Eternal God, Ancient of Days
Swaddled in cloth, sleeps in the hay
Bethlehem star, the Father's way
To reach from Heav'n and hold the Babe

pre-
The Lord has done great things for us
Oh, my soul, I will lift Him up
The Lord has done great things for us
Emmanuel, God is with us

chorus
Infinite God became infant
He who gave all became gift
Enlarge my heart, I welcome Him
Emmanuel, God is with us

vs. 3
Jesus' first steps, holy toddle
He learned to walk so I'd follow
Take me to the end of humble
Holy, holy Emmanuel

There Is A Way (Isaiah 30:12)

Out of my troubles,

There is a way.

Out of my sorrows,

There is a way.

Jesus has promised,

He is the way-

He gives light to see,

He directs my feet,

And shows me the way.

Through every valley,

There is a way.

Through every wild sea,

There is a way.

Jesus has promised,

He is the way-

He gives light to see,

He directs my feet,

And shows me the way.

Help me to hear You,

Confusion’s loud.

Help me stay near You,

Your voice surrounds.

Jesus is faithful,

The promised way-

He gives light to see,

He directs my feet,

And shows me the way.

Your Love Is (Psalm 19:1-6)

Your love is soft like the moon when it’s full

Giving full hope within

Your love is strong like the tide when it pulls

Washing me from all sin

Your love is wild like the storms when they blow

Cleansing me from my fears

You answer my heart’s deep need for Your love

To know that You are near

Your love is high, deep, wide

Rising over your Bride

Your love is high, deep, wide

I’m filled with Your love, Christ

You blush with love for me every morning

That’s why the dawn is rose

You yearn with love for me every eve’ning

That’s why the sunset glows

You shine with love for me in the daytime

That’s why the sun burns bright

You cover me with a blanket of stars

That’s why they wink at night

Your love is high, deep, wide

Rising over your Bride

Your love is high, deep, wide

I’m filled with Your love, Christ

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

The Sound of Praise

I hear the sound of praise for the One

Whose breath rustles the tops of the trees;

I hear the sound of praise for the One

Whose whispers hum low through the earth;

I hear the sound of praise for the One

Whose laughter flows through the streams.

I hear the sound of praise for the One

Whose glad-hearted joy is the song of the birds;

He treads across the sky above

And the clouds are the footprints He leaves;

He spreads His peace, pure as a dove

And the wind is the rush of His wings.

I see the presence of the Savior

Whose crimson glow stains the morning sky;

I see the presence of the Savior

Whose shimmering stars watch me sleep;

I see the presence of the Savior

Whose silent rainbow promises life;

I see the presence of the Savior

Whose arrows of lightening are fighting for me.

He treads across the sky above

And the clouds are the footprints He leaves;

He spreads His peace, pure as a dove

And the wind is the rush of His wings.
