Julie's Songs

Lightning flash and rumbling thunder

(Words: Julie Rowbory © 2004,
Music: 'Abbot's Leigh'
as often Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken)

Music here:

1. Lightning flash and rumbling thunder
From the throne of God on high,
Where the creatures and the angels
Day and night forever cry:
"Holy, holy, Lord Almighty,
Was and is and is to come!
Praise and honour, power and glory
To the Father and the Son!"

2. Victor now enthroned in heaven,
Judah's Lion glorified,
Bearing scars that purchased nations,
Lamb of God, once crucified.
Praise Him with the living creatures:
"Worthy is the Lamb, once slain,
Saviour of His blood-bought people.
Honour! Glory! Praise! Amen!"

3. Heav'n and earth, now recreated,
Old is gone the new has come.
There, the Lord's new holy city
Stands the Bride of Christ, the Son.
No more pain and no more crying,
No more death and no more night.
Nations bask there in His splendour:
God the temple, God the light.

4. Nothing shameful or deceitful
Finds a welcome in that place.
There God's children ever serve Him,
Bear His name and see His face.
"Jesus, Alpha and Omega,
Morning Star and David's Son,
Come and claim the Bride You purchased.
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!"

In You there is no Darkness

(Words: Hilary Jolly, 1 John • Music: Vicky Mills)

1. In you there is no darkness,
our God of perfect light,
nor can they be your people,
the children of the night.
Shine through into our shadows
where death's dark waters run,
'til we reflect your glory
in the image of your Son.

2. For this is love, dear children,
by this may love be known,
not our love for the Father,
but his love for his own:
he left the throne of heaven,
laid deity aside,
and for our sins' atonement,
Christ suffered and Christ died.

3. There is no sin in Jesus,
no fallenness and shame,
nor can they be his people
who honour not his name.
Oh grant that we may know you,
our Advocate and Lord,
obedient to your bidding
and faithful to your word.

4. The messengers of darkness
refuse the Holy One,
nor can they be your people
who will not own your Son.
Oh shield us from their lying,
their glibness and deceit,
that we may know his presence
and he may guide our feet.

5. May we who now confess you,
the Christ, the Father's Child,
so also be his children,
a people reconciled
in love's devoted kinship,
from sin and death set free.
With worldliness defeated
in Christ's sure victory.

He is the Image of Invisible God

(Matthew Ots, Colossians 1:15ff)

1. He is the image of invisible God,
creator and sustainer of the heavens and earth,
Powers and authorities
are conquered by his victory
and by his blood He sets the captives free.

2. He has released us from the wages of sin,
given us the fulness of His Spirit within.
He is at work in us
to clothe us with His holiness,
rejoicing in his presence we will sing:

chorus

We have been made alive with Christ,
purchased with a price;
rescued from the darkness
to the glory of his light.
We have been made alive with Christ,
raised with him to life;
pardoned by His grace
we are made holy in his sight.

Play it:

Foolish the Wisdom of the World

(Hilary Jolly, 1 Corinthians)

1. Foolish the wisdom of the world
its certainties denied
by wisdom of God's foolishness
that is Christ crucified.
 

chorus
Christ is my strength, my righteousness,
who shatters worldly pride.
God grant that I should nothing know
except Christ crucified.

2. He chose the weak to shame the strong,
the fool to shame the wise,
He lifted high the humble things
philosophers despise.

3. Let not the yeast of sin and shame
work in the bread of Christ;
Jesus, our spotless Lamb of God
For us was sacrificed.

4. I am content to play the part
That he would have me play.
No slave of men, I'll not forget
The price he chose to pay.

5. Freely I'll share the saving grace
that he has given to me.
Let me be all things to all men
That some His grace might see.

6. This foolish message of the cross
we preach, though some deride.
We fools for Jesus cannot boast,
save in Christ crucified.

Oh Come and See

(Hilary Jolly, John 1&endash;3)

1. Oh come and see, Behold the Lamb,
Maker sustainer and 'I am',
Word of our God become a man,
Bidding you come and see.

2. You shall see heaven opened wide.
And Jesus at the Father's side.
There is your hope, if you decide
Only to come and see.

3. You shall see water changed to wine,
Earth's dark despair to hope divine,
Sin's filthy rags to garments fine,
Friend, if you come and see.

4. You shall see wrath that sets men free.
Henceforth no beast need slaughtered be.
One perfect sacrifice is He.
Will you not come and see?

5. Come from the dead, uncaring night
Into forgiveness, love and light.
Born to His kingdom, born to sight,
Born ever more to see.

Above all

(written by: Lenny LeBlanc / Paul Baloche) Michael W. Smith

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Alas and did my Saviour bleed

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
And did my sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred Head
For sinners such as I?

Was it for sins that I have done
He suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the great Redeemer, died
For man the creature's sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away —
'Tis all that I can do.

All My Days

All my days, I will sing this song of gladness,
Give my praise to the fountain of delights
For in my helplessness You heard my cry
And waves of mercy poured down on my life

I will trust in the cross of my redeemer
I will sing of the blood that never fails
Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleansed,
Of death defeated and life without end

Beautiful Saviour, Wonderful Counsellor
Clothed in majesty, Lord of history
You're the way, the truth the life.
Star of the Morning, Glorious in holiness
You're the risen one, Heaven's champion
And you reign, you reign over all!

I long to be where the praise is never-ending;
Yearn to dwell where the glory never fades,
Where countless worshippers will share one song
And cries of ‘worthy’ will honour the Lamb.

Bare Necessity

Kingsman, Powell & someone else - see StAG and Ebbe's people

Yes it's the bare necessity,
the simple bare necessity,
it's everything I need to know for life:
I mean the bare necessity
that Jesus died to rescue me -
it's everything I need to know for life!

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,
the voice of my saviour is calling me home.
And when at last I reach that place
then I will meet him face to face,
and see the scars in his hands and side
that tell me he was crucified and paid for every sin!
The bare necessity of life is found in him!

(is found in him.... is found in him.)

Before the Throne of God Above

Before the throne of God above,
I have a strong, a perfect plea,
A great High Priest whose Name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is written on his hands;
My name is hidden in his heart.
I know that while in heaven he stands
No power can force me to depart.
No power can force me to depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless saviour died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there! the risen Lamb!
My perfect, sinless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of Grace!
One with my Lord I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by his blood;
My life is safe with Christ on high,
With Christ my Saviour and my God.
With Christ my Saviour and my God.

BLESSED SPIRIT OF THE KING

BLESSED SPIRIT OF THE KING
Of grace and love the Author
Work repentance deep within
And bend me at Your altar
Melt my heart with majesty
Then show my ruined self to me
Teach me to more clearly see
Your might and will to save me

Here I place without reserve
My soul in faith and meekness
Trusting in Christ's power and love
To flourish in my weakness
Cause my days on earth to be
Through time and through eternity
A trophy of His victory
A monument to mercy

Teach me to behold my God
And trust His power to save me
Arms outstretched in constant love
Whose strength will never fail me
Help me to commune with Him
Depend and follow after Him
That through my life His peace will reign
And joy be my companion

Ebbe's Son Rap

From the holiday club BLOCKBUSTER in 2003

A long time ago in a land far away
lived a man and his son, now what do you say?
I say this place really stinks, it just aint funny
I wish you'd die so I could have your money.
So the lad too the cash hit the town went wild -
Party party party like a crasy child.
But then pretty soon he spent every buck -
His friends disappeared, he was down on his luck.

So come on, listen up to Luke 15
It's a story about you, it's a story about me,
God made us all, he's so lovin' and good
But we all disrespect him, gotta bad attitude!

No mates, no home, nowhere to go
He had to take a job that was lower than low.
Living with the animals, feeding the pig
A pillow of rocks and a bed made of twigs.
"I've stuffed up big, I've stuffed up bad,
gotta go back home and talk to my Dad,
say 'Let me be your servant - after all I've done,
I know I don't deserve to be called your son.'"

So come on, listen up to Luke 15
It's a story about you, it's a story about me,
God made us all, he's so lovin' and good
But we all disrespect him, gotta bad attitude!

Well can you believe it? His dad's right there
with tears in his eyes, and a hug like a bear!
A heart like God's - a love for the lost
A great welcome home no matter the cost.
Now God hates sin, you can be quite sure.
He can't look at evil he's so holy and pure.
But he sent his own son to die in our place,
punished for the sin of the human race.

So come on, listen up to Luke 15
It's a story for you, it's a story for me,
About a God whose heart so loves the lost,
His Son came to die in our place on the cross.

For God so Loved the world

For God so loved the world,
He gave his only son,
That whoever believes in him
Should not die but have eternal life.

L is for the life he has given to me;
I am the reason he died on the tree.
F is the forgiveness which sets us free, and
E is the enjoyment in Jesus' victory.

God is so good (English - Swahili - Urdu)

God is so good           x3
He's so good to me

He took my sin          x3
He's so good to me

Now I am free          x3
He's so good to me

God is so good
He took my sin
Now I am free 
He's so good to me

Mungu yu mwema          x3
Yu mwema kwangu

Yasu acha hay          x3
Acha hay muj ko

God is so good x3

Great is he

Great is he who's the King of kings
And the Lord of lords,
He is wonderful!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
He is wonderful!

Alleluia, salvation and glory,
Honour and power,
He is wonderful!

In Christ alone

1. In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this Solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, My All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

2. In Christ alone! - who took on flesh,
fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
scorned by the ones He came to save:
till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
for every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

3. There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is Mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand,
Till he returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

I have his word

King of Kings

King of kings, majesty.
God of heaven living in me.
Gentle Saviour, closest friend.
Strong deliverer, beginning and end.
All within me falls at your throne.

Your majesty, I can but bow,
I lay my all before you now.
In royal robes I don’t deserve
I live to serve your majesty.

Earth and heaven worship you.
Love eternal, faithful and true.
Who bought the nations, ransomed souls.
Brought this sinner near to your throne.
All within me cries out in praise.

Over all the earth you reign on high

Over all the earth,
You reign on high,
Every mountain stream,
Every sunset sky.
But my one request,
Lord, my only aim
Is that you’d reign in me again.

Lord, reign in me,
Reign in your power,
Over all my dreams,
In my darkest hour.
You are the Lord of all I am,
So won’t you reign in me again.

Over every thought,
Over every word,
May my life reflect
The beauty of my Lord;
‘Cause you mean more to me
Than any earthly thing.
So won’t you reign in me again.

See, what a morning (RESURRECTION HYMN)

Stuart Townend & Keith Getty

See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;
Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce Christ is risen!
See God's salvation plan,
Wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man, for He lives:
Christ is risen from the dead!

See Mary weeping, 'Where is He laid?'
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It's the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
Will sound till He appears,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!

One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty,
Honour and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned with power and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives, Christ is risen from the dead!

WHEN I WAS LOST, You came and rescued me;
Reached down into the pit and lifted me.
O Lord, such love, I was as far from you as I could be.
You know all the things I’ve ever done,
But Jesus’ blood has cancelled every one.
O Lord, such grace to qualify me as your own.

There is a new song in my mouth,
There is a deep cry in my heart,
A hymn of praise to almighty God – Hallelujah!
And now I stand firm on this rock,
My life is hidden now with Christ in God.
The old has gone and the new has come – Hallelujah!
Your love has lifted me.

Now I have come into your family,
For the Son of God has died for me.
O Lord, such peace, I am as loved by you as I could be.
In the full assurance of your love
Now with every confidence we come.
O Lord, such joy to know that you delight in me.

Many are the wonders you have done,
And many are the things that you have planned.
How beautiful the grace that gives to us
All that we don’t deserve,
All that we cannot earn,
But is a gift of love.
