Lyrics to "For Want of Forgiveness"

Let me go, and leave my heart of stone

I'll walk away

From getting even

For the times I was betrayed

And thought revenge

My only solution

Sunlight

flooding into darkness

You hold me up, and I'm letting go

Jesus, walking on the water

You come for me, and I'm letting go

Chorus:

But Abner;

Your hands were not bound; your feet were not fettered;

No man showed you mercy

Forgiving his debtor as one falls before the wicked you have fallen."

For want of forgiveness

Deliver me from seeking my revenge

At the shrine of retribution

And I trust that Lord You have forgiven me

And I received Your absolution

Sunlight

flooding into darkness

You hold me up, so I'm letting go

Jesus, walking on the water

You come for me, and I'm letting go

Chorus:

But Abner;

Your hands were not bound; your feet were not fettered;

None showed you mercy

You were the debtor as one falls before the wicked you have fallen."

For want of forgiveness

Don't want to live a lie

Empty and alone

For want of forgiveness

A fool without friends

Take my heart of stone

I have been forgiven

Lyrics to

Oh, How the Mighty are Fallen (2 Samuel 1:17-27)

Your glory, O Israel, is slain on a hill! Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Keep the news to yourself, of the blood that was spilled

Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

No field of offerings! no rain upon you Oh, How the mighty have fallen! Saul and Jonathan, beloved and true Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Chorus

They were swifter than eagles

and stronger than lions

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

Now the weapons of war, have all run their course

The song we are singing is solemn

Oh, how the mighty

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

vs3

"You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet aplenty, who put ornaments of gold, with a heart so bold

But his sword did not return empty

The sun stood still, in the midst of the sky

Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Jonathan my brother, how could you die

Oh, How the mighty have fallen!

Chorus

They were swifter than eagles

and stronger than the lions

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

Now the weapons of war, have all run their course

The song we are singing is solemn

Oh, how the mighty

Oh, how the mighty have fallen

My Jealous Fear

As my kingdom slips away

The prophets lips have spoken

Fear is taking over

And everything is broken

And I clench my fist in anger

I cannot hold the crown

Even in my greatest dreams

I keep losing the throne

Chorus:

"Saul has struck down his thousands

And we celebrate

But 10,000 are struck down by David

And His name is great

What more can he have,

What more can he have

but the kingdom

Now all I have left

Is my jealous fear

I looked for one just like me

Cried out for an earthly king

I was a fearful created being

When I rejected You

And Saul fell like Lucifer

But David rose like Christ

My true King and Warrior

The way, the truth the life

bridge

Let me serve only You

And see through Your eyes

By Your Word and Spirit

You can give me wisdom

To serve only You

In Your love and mercy

For every false way, every wrong turn, I've been following, I've been trying

Please forgive me, please forgive me

all I have left, all I have left, jealous fear

Lyrics to

Hannah's Song "And You Remember Me"

The bows of the mighty are broken,

And the rich sink under the waves

You raise the poor from the wreckage

And the feeble are clothed with strength.

O Lord of hosts

My heart rejoices in you

O Lord of hosts

You make all things new

And You Remember me

O Lord of hosts

for not by might shall a man prevail.

You bring low, and raise us up

The wicked ones shall be cut off

While You fill the empty cup

O Lord of hosts

My heart rejoices in you

O Lord of hosts

You make all things new

And You Remember me

O Lord of hosts

My heart rejoices in you O Lord

O Lord, You make all things new

You bring to death and breath new life

O Lord, there is none like you

Lyrics to Seed of a Woman

Turn aside, turn aside

Do not be afraid

Lay down, lay down

Never to awake

At her feet, he sank

he fell asleep

At her feet, he laid

Never to arise

She holds the hammer and takes the nail

In her right hand

Through his temple, comes the storm

And he will never stand

At her feet, he sank ,

he fell asleep

At her feet, he laid

Never to awake

Chorus:

The seed of a woman

Crushed the serpents head

Son of the virgin

Rose from the dead

The seed of a woman

Sunlight at dawn

When it rises, in its might

Praise to God. praise to God

For victory

Over sin, over death

Our enemy

At her feet, he sank

he fell asleep

At her feet, he laid

Never to arise

Turn aside, turn aside

I will not be afraid

I will lay down in peace

And when I awake

At Your feet, I will fall

and worship my Lord

At Your feet, I will bow

For I am alive

Bridge

Its over, its over now

Its over, do you hear the bell?

Ring out, ring out over death and hell

Your enemies perish

And all is well

At Your feet

Lyrics to "The Steadfast One"

Blessed the man who fears You, trusts You

The righteous will never be moved

Steady the heart, the heart set upon You

In the fight, when your heel is bruised

It is well

Whatever the battle,

Whatever the cost,

Whatever the struggle,

Whatever the loss

Light dawns in the darkness

You are not against us

No, You won't forget us

Your'e the steadfast One

The steadfast One

Blessed the man who fears You, trusts You

Who is not afraid of bad news

Blessed the man, who imitates the Savior,

And freely gives to the poor

It is well

The wicked will perish

You will smile upon us forever

Lyrics to "March On"

You gave victory over evil

Victory over lies

You conquer in the battle

You strengthen us besides

You turn streams into rivers

Drown the enemy

And You reign forever

In Victory

March on!

March On, my soul

March On!

Deliver us from evil

Deliver us from shame

Lead us in the battle

We triumph in your name

And we are your children

We've rejected the curse

Through the cross of the Saviour

You've given us birth

Chorus

The battle that is raging

For better or for worse

To serve You is a blessing

To turn away from a curse

The battle for the soul

Between the evil and the good

The spirit and the truth

Against the flesh and the world

Unite us O Lord

Deliver us

Unite us O Lord

And make us one

Unite us O Lord

In Christ Your Son

Lyrics to "Restoration"

Deborah's Song (Part 1)

Restoration

When we did what was right

In our own eyes

We were taken away

We were caught by surprise

Our highways abandoned,

Our villages ceased The travelers kept to the byways.

The land had no peace

When the Lord went before us

The heavens came down

The clouds dropped their water

And You shook the ground

(Chorus)

We were so tired

And hope was gone

Out of the silence

We hear a song

Restoration

My heart goes out

To those of you

Who offered themselves

So willingly

My heart can sing

Melodies to the Lord

Those that love You shall be

With a heart restored

When the Lord went before us

The heavens came down

The clouds dropped their water

And You shook the ground

(Chorus)

We were so tired

And hope was gone

Out of the silence

We hear a song

Restoration

Hear O kings

All you in high places

Let us sing

Sing to the God

who saves us

Restoration
