A vessel of worship

I'm laying down my will
And forever I will follow after You

3. Make His Praise Glorious

Verse
Bless the Lord all you people
Shout praises to His name
Say to God, How awesome are Your works
To the ends of the earth
Your greatness we proclaim

Through the working of Your power
You spoke a word and calmed the sea
You rose again and won the victory over death
So with our lives we will confess
With one voice we’ll shout and sing

Chorus
For Your awesome power
We could never praise You enough
We’ll sing Your praise joyfully
Lord You’re so worthy
We’ll make Your praise glorious
Make Your praise glorious

Rap
Help me magnify Him, adore Him
Every new song I sing it’s for Him
Never let a rock rap the Rock in my place
The one friend who holds a spot on Myspace

Cause my space seek the glory of His face
and His Book – No time for Facebook
But we all must face the book that took
The picture of the Savior crucified with two crooks

Changed me from a crook, a jerk a jock
No stone couldn hold my Rock
Got me victorious, His story is victorious
Of course He is, the Victor
My God, He’s so glorious

Vamp
Lord we want to praise
Praise Your holy name
Lord we’ll make your praise
Glorious, glorious

4. Lift My Hands

I lift my hands
When all is crashing down around me I will know
That I am held within Your loving arms and so
I can go on another day
You lift me up and give me strength to stand
I lift my hands

Chorus
You are my security
You are, You are the one who makes me see
That if I wait on You
You will pull me through
I rest assured within Your plan

Verse 2
I lift my hands
When my heart’s feeling so abandoned I will call
Upon the one who’s there to catch me when I fall
Your tender mercies calling me
You lift me up and give me strength to stand
I lift my hands

As deep calls to deep
So my spirit’s drawn to You
And everlasting kindness calls to me
Your presence in my life
Will set my spirit free
Come and break the chains
And have Your way in me

Chorus
Come and draw near to me
As I draw near to You
Let me experience Your healing power
Create my heart anew
Come and draw near to me
As I draw near to You
In Your arms is where I long to be
Draw near to me

6. The Glory of a Life

Verse 1
There's a life just awakened
A new creation
And the old has passed away
Sorrow for mercy traded
Fear replaced with hope anew
The dawn has come
And the night is through
A life reborn in You

Chorus
The glory of grace, of love and forgiveness
Making all things new
It's the glory of a life found in You
Found in You

Verse 2
There's a life so devoted
To one purpose
And entrusted to the King
Surely goodness and mercy
They will follow all His days
And every step is secure and true
A life complete in You

Verse 3
There's a life freely given
Sent from heaven
Bringing light to all mankind
Though betrayed and forsaken
He has taken sin away
The lamb of God
Sent to die for all
Was raised to life in You

Verse 4
Is your life crying out for
Something more
Than this world could ever give?
Come and drink from the river
There your sins are washed away
For God so loved that He sent His Son
To give His life for you

8. All That's Good In Me

Verse 1
I was hopeless and heading nowhere fast
Toward a life I knew just couldn't last
Trying hard to find a way
To save myself somehow
I had no redeeming qualities
Having no one but myself to please
If left to my own ways
Who knows where I’d be now

Pre-Chorus (Rap) 1
But now I'm standing like whoa, it's a new game
And oh how the view changed
Since You came into my life transformed me with a new name
Now every step I take in You is not one but two
I'm created in your image and it's all because of You

Chorus
Because of You I’m faultless, spotless
And I’m right where I should be
You are all
You are all that’s good in me
Because of You I’m sinless, forgiven
And as far as I can see
You are all that’s good in me

Verse 2
You gotta know that I'm singing a different song
The old me is truly dead and gone
I was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
I'm not perfect, just being perfected now
But sometimes I really don’t know how
You gave Your only Son
To save someone like me

Pre-Chorus (Rap) 2
Lord I'm leaning on Your strength
You saved me in Your grace
Now my evil heart's replaced by Your goodness
It will never be erased
Every moment I've got to seek Your face
And keep pressing toward the mark
I'm only good because of who You are

Bridge
I've been made new
Because of You

Verse 1
From out of the darkness
You called my name
And I never heard a sound so sweet
Then I felt the Spirit
Come like a wave
Like a wave washing over me
Then I knew I was different
Set apart, new life was found in You

Pre-Chorus 1
Now every day I will bless You
Lift up Your name forever
For You are great and greatly to be praised

Chorus
Here’s our call to worship
Here’s our chance to praise

Sing glory to His name
He turned our mourning to dancing
Our sorrow to joy
Come and see what God has done
And make a joyful noise (and say)
We praise, we praise

Verse 2
Father Your goodness I just can’t explain
How you can set a sinner free
In all Your creation
Lord nothing compares
To Your amazing love for me
Because of You I am holy
On the cross my sin was washed away

Pre-Chorus 2
Now I’m a new creation
Your word I’ll take to the nations
That You are great and greatly to be praised
(Let the Church say)

Bridge
From the heart of the weak
To the shout of the strong

So gather Your people
And we will proclaim
Holy is Your name
