You are the Creator.
The Savior and the King.
Worthy of our worship,
And the praises that we sing.

Your glory breaks the darkness.
Your love is redemptive bent.
Your goodness and kindness
Moves us to repent,

And to thank you Holy Father
And Your only begotten Son
And Your Spirit our Helper
For all that You have done.

And for all that You are doing,
And the promises to come.
Your mercies are new
At the rising of the sun.

So, we bow in adoration
And joyfully proclaim
Our trust in Your holy Word
And salvation by Your grace.

Help us to know You more
As You righteously reign.
Let not Your Son’s blood
Be shed on us in vain.

Soften our hardened hearts.
Help us to forgive.
Just as You have to us
And selflessly give

Whatever we have to offer,
Whether great or small,
May the world see Jesus in us
And hear the Shepherd’s call.

To the hopeless hearts and minds –
To the lonely and the lost.
That God so loved each of them
That His Son paid the cost.

To forgive every sin
And to start a life anew.
Free of the painful past
And a future full of truth.

May we all come to know
The glory of our Lord.
One day soon we’ll all gather
To worship and adore.

And give thanks to our Creator –
Our Savior and our Friend.
Please accept this offering
Of the praises that we send.

When was the last time
Someone held your hand?
Someone who loves you?
Someone who understands

What it is to be you –
The one nobody knows.
All the fears and doubts –
The ones you never show.

Nothing can be trusted.
You can’t be more alone.
No place for your heart
To feel safe and at home.

What would you say if I told you
There is Someone who cares?
His love is like no other.
When others leave, He is there.

His love is relentless.
He never leaves your side.
He knows you completely
For you are His design.

He will show you He’s different.
He is faithful and true
Take ahold of the hand from above
Is all you need to do.

For if you take that step
And choose to believe,
He will take hold of your hand.
He knows what you need.

Reconcilement with your Maker.
Forgiveness of your sins.
A release from your past.
A new life to begin.

One that’s filled with hope
In this life and the next.
Experiencing true love.
Experiencing true rest.

It won’t always be easy.
There will be tough times.
But you’ll never be alone.
He’ll never leave your side

So, take that step of faith.
What have you got to lose?
If you’re going to hold a hand,
Is there a better one to choose?

The holes in His hands
Testify to what is true.
He will do what it takes
To prove He loves you.

Just look at the cross.
His passion for you is known.
Where you find true love.
Where you find your home.

There’s so much anger; so much hatred;
So much confusion of what is true.
So much suffering and all the loneliness
With no answers of what to do.

You sent Your Son from Your holy throne
Amidst all our sin to make You known.
To show Your heart and Your faithfulness
As a God of love and forgiveness.

You are our Father.
You are our Savior.
You are our Helper.
You are our Friend.

You are our Creator.
You are our Redeemer.
You are our Healer.
Hallelujah, Amen!

We are hurting; drowning in deceit.
Leaves us wondering what to believe.
We think we’re found, but we’re really lost.
We want love but not the cost.

Then there’s Jesus, who paid the price
For our redemption; to be our light.
To show us the way through the storm
And guide us to our eternal home.

You are our Father.
You are our Savior.
You are our Helper.
You are our Friend.

You are our Creator.
You are our Redeemer.
You are our Healer.
Hallelujah, Amen!

Because of what You’ve done
And the love You’ve shown,
You revealed to us
A God Who can be known.

In a darkening world
That seeks to deceive
The notion of Divine truth
That is possible to believe.

A love that takes us as is
Even at our worst.
When You went to the cross,
You saved us from sin’s curse.

Freed us to move forward
New creations in Christ
To feel and know true hope
In forgiveness’ light.

You’re a God who seeks to save
Where darkness cannot abide;
Guides us through the storms
Never leaving our sides.

Help us to do the same
For those you bring to us.
Let them only see
The heart of Jesus.

And see what You’ve done
And the love You’ve shown;
So, they see what we see
A God Who can be known.
A God Who is our home.
