With one voice the Angels sing;
songs that make creation ring
Prophets hear and call us
to live in spirit and in truth

Father Yahweh, Elohim;
voice of thunder, spirit wind
Breathe on me your very life;
Grace will make the darkness bright

Word of God enthroned,
dwell in us forevermore;
Love has come to show the way
Halleluiah, peace be with us
Love has come to show the way

God of covenant divine,
lead us to the end of time
Beyond sorrow, beyond fear;
beyond pride and earthen tears

Word of God enthroned,
dwell in us forevermore;
Love has come to show the way
Halleluiah, peace be with us
Love has come to show the way

Keeper of the sacrifice,
manifest in Jesus Christ
Born to die and wake the dead
As we hunger, keep us fed

Now salvation has come
in the New Jerusalem
Dancers dance and singers roar;
proclaiming Jesus Christ is Lord

Word of God enthroned,
dwell in us forevermore;
Love has come to show the way
Halleluiah, peace be with us
Love has come to show the way

Word of God enthroned,
dwell in us forevermore;
Love has come to show the way
Halleluiah, peace be with us
Love has come to show the way

Revive my heart, renew my soul
In You, oh Lord, I am made whole
No more in fear will I wander
'Cause you're my God
My Lord and Lover

Like a burning fire
Be my one desire

Chorus:

I wanna be holy, just like You
I wanna go where You lead me to
With reckless abandon to Your truth
I wanna fall deeper in love with You

Oh lift me up, God my Father
In all this world, there is no other
I'm dancing in Your holy presence
And Your glory fills all my senses

Like a burning fire
Be my one desire

Chorus x3

And deeper, and deeper, and deeper
And deeper in love with You
And deeper, and deeper, and deeper,
And deeper in love with you
And deeper, and deeper, and deeper,
And deeper in love with You

I wanna be holy
I wanna be holy
I wanna be holy
I wanna be holy

. . .


How lovely is Your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for You
For here my heart is satisfied
Within Your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in Your courts
Better is one day in Your house
Better is one day in Your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek
To see Your beauty
To find You in the place Your glory dwells

My heart and flesh cry out
For You, the living God
Your Spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to You
I will draw near to You

Better is one day
Better is one day
Better is one day
Than thousands elsewhere

I've been poor before
Maybe not in money, but in circumstance
And I have lavished in Your abundance
As You rain down Your blessings on me

No matter where I'm going
Let me feel Your blessing

'Cause my God is powerful, is so faithful
Is wonderful to me
My God is loveable, is approachable
Is wonderful to me

I've been hungry before
Aching for the word that strengthens me
And I've been fed by the body of Christ
In Sacrament and in the midst of community

You prepare a heavenly feast
Where the greatest are the least

'Cause my God is powerful, is so faithful
Is wonderful to me
My God is loveable, is approachable
Is wonderful to me

And I shall live (and I shall live)
In the house of the Lord (in the house of the Lord)
All my days (all my days)
Now and forever (now and forever)

Yes I shall live (and I shall live)
In the house of the Lord (in the house of the Lord)
All my days (all my days)
Now and forever (now and forever)

'Cause my God is powerful, is so faithful
Is wonderful to me
My God is loveable, is approachable
Is wonderful to me

My God is powerful, is so faithful
Is wonderful to me
My God is loveable, is approachable
Is wonderful to me

You gave me a title although I didnt know you
You called my name and blessed me with life
Now I've squandered the fortunes of my childhood
Given into a world of lies
But I can't hide forever from what I know is true
Jesus I surrend my life to you

Chorus:
Cause you are the Lord and there is no other
You're my God and I'm not ashamed
I'll stand for you when the whole world falters
I will bear your name and I won't be the same

The mountains they move at the sound of your holy name
The lame will walk and the blind will see
I know you've won my heart, I know that I am nothing
You are the source of everything
And I can't live forever unless I live in you
Jesus I surrender my life to you

. . .


When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

Its all about you
Jesus

Wonderful Counseler, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace
Emmanuel, Morning Star, King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Lamb of God, you take away,
the sins of all, the world
Miserere nobis
Bread of life, You take away,
the sins of all the world
Miserere nobis
Agnus Dei, You take away,
the sins of all the world
Dona nobis Pacem

Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I feel I'm moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in the secret place
Cause Your love is extravagant

Chorus:
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again

Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I feel I'm moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in the secret place
Your love is extravagant

Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Spread wide in the arms of Christ there's a love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again

Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate

. . .


Lord hear me
I am Open
I surrender all my sin
All my pride
Gets me nowhere
Leaves me stranded empty-handed

So shatter the darkness in my life
As i carry this cross both day and night
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

You know who I am
Lord please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord help me to stand
Falling in love with your family

I confess
To you Jesus
And to you my brothers and sisters
That I have sinned
And need forgiveness
Pray for me and I for you

So shatter the darkness in my life
As i carry this cross both day and night
All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

You know who I am
Lord please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord help me to stand
Falling in love with your family

You know who I am
Lord please take my hand
And lead me into community
You know who I am
Lord help me to stand
Falling in love with your family

All the way (all the way)
All the way (all the way)
To heaven

. . .


(Talking) If everything that the Roman Catholic Church
taught were true, what difference would it make in our lives
We believe that in every single mass,
through the power of the Holy Spirit,
that the bread and the wine are transformed
into the flesh and the blood of Jesus

Transubstantiation
Heaven kisses earth
We become a living tabernacle

So wisdom, be attentive
Steady my shaken mind
Let this be my reality
More than just bread and wine

This is the end and the beginning
This is the eighth day of creation
One with the saints and angels
In our song of thanksgiving

Revelation
History shows the love
Of the ancient Father
For His one and only Son

Jesus, I am not worthy
I am a broken man
But only say the word
And I shall be healed again

This is the end and the beginning
This is the eighth day of creation
One with the saints and angels
In our song of thanksgiving

(Talking) If indeed what I am saying is true,
and this is what the Church says,
then our hearts need to start burning
with a deeper understanding of who and what
this Eucharist is

Holy is the Lamb
Holy is the Lamb

This is the end and the beginning
This is the eighth day of creation
One with the saints and angels
In our song of thanksgiving
