Moffitt, Cottrell, and Smith

Verse 1
Hear the heart of Heaven beating:

Hear His love and mercy pleading:
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!

“Glory to our Risen King!”
And the sounding joy repeating:

He now lives our sorrows sharing.
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
See His love shine in the cross
Christ has paid redemption’s cost!
And the empty tomb’s declaring:
Jesus saves!

Verse 3
Sin’s dark power now is broken.
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
“It is finished!” He has spoken.

See the Christ all full of grace,
Melting darkness in His wake.
He’s alive forevermore!
Jesus saves!

Christ is calling, chains are falling,
Hope is dawning bright and true.
Day is breaking, darkness failing,
God is making all things new.
Jesus saves!

Verse 4
O to grace, how great a debtor!
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!
All the saints now shout together!
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Turn and know the risen Christ,
The spotless Lamb, our Sacrifice!
And we’ll sing His song forever:
Jesus saves!

Turn and know the risen Christ,
The spotless Lamb, our Sacrifice!
And we’ll sing His song forever:
Jesus saves!

I Come by the Blood

Download
1491

Steve and Vikki Cook, 1994
[Key: F#]

Verse 1
You are the perfect and righteous God,
Whose presence bears no sin.
You bid me come to your holy place,
How can I enter in, when your presence bears no sin?
Through Him who poured out His life for me,
The Atoning Lamb of God.
Through Him and His work alone I boldly come!

Chorus
I come by the Blood,
I come by the Cross
Where Your mercy flows
From hands pierced for me.
For I dare not stand on my righteousness,
My every hope rests on what Christ has done
And I come by the Blood.

Verse 2
You are the high and exalted King,
The One the angels fear.
So far above me in ev’ry way,
Lord how can I draw near
To the One the angels fear?
Through Him who laid down His life for me,
And ascended to Your side,
Through Him, through Jesus alone, I boldly come!

Chorus
I come by the Blood,
I come by the Cross
Where Your mercy flows
From hands pierced for me.
For I dare not stand on my righteousness,
My every hope rests on what Christ has done
And I come by the Blood.

How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

Download
9791

Stuart Townend
[Key: D]

Verse 1
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Verse 2
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

Verse 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

His Mercy is More

Download
2854

Matt Papa
[Key: Db]

Verse 1
What love could remember no wrongs we have done?
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum.
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore,
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more!

Verse 2
What patience would wait as we constantly roam?
What Father, so tender, is calling us home?
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor,
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more!

Chorus
Praise the Lord! His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness, new every morn,
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more!

Verse 3
What riches of kindness Christ lavished on us,
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost!
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford,
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more!

Chorus
Praise the Lord! His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness, new every morn,
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more!

Chorus
Praise the Lord! His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness, new every morn,
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more!

Here is Love, Vast as the Ocean

Download
3725

William Rees (1802-1883)
[Key: Eb]

Verse 1
Here is love, vast as the ocean,
Lovingkindness as the flood;
When the Prince of Life my ransom,
Shed for me His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He shall never be forgotten,
Through heav’n’s everlasting days.

Verse 2
On the mount of crucifixion,
Fountains opened deep and wide;
Thro’ the flood gates of God’s mercy
Flow’d the vast and gracious tide;
Grace and love like mighty rivers
Pour’d incessant from above,
And heav’n’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love.

Verse 3
Let me all Thy love accepting,
Love Thee ever all my days;
Let me seek Thy Kingdom only
And my life be to Thy praise;
Thou alone shalt be my glory;
Nothing in the world I see:
Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me;
Thou Thyself hast set me free.

Verse 4
In Thy truth Thou dost direct me
By Thy Spirit through Thy Word;
And Thy grace my need is meeting,
As I trust in Thee, my Lord.
All Thy fullness Thou art pouring
In Thy love and power in me
Without measure, full and boundless,
As I yield myself to Thee.

Words: Joseph Swain
Music: Kevin Twit
[Key: Em]

Verse 1
Come ye souls by, sin afflicted,
Bowed with fruitless, sorrow down;
By the broken, law convicted,
Through the cross, behold the crown;
Look to Jesus;
Look to Jesus;
Look to Jesus;
Mercy flows through Him alone.

Verse 2
Take His easy, yoke and wear it;
Love will make your, obedience sweet;
Christ will give you, strength to bear it,
While His grace, shall guide your feet
Safe to glory,
Safe to glory,
Safe to glory,
Where His ransomed captives meet.

Verse 3
Blessèd are the, eyes that see Him,
Blest the ears that, hear His voice;
Blessèd are the, souls that trust Him,
And in Him, alone rejoice;
His commandments,
His commandments,
His commandments
Then become their happy choice.

Verse 4
Sweet as home to, pilgrims weary,
Light to newly, opened eyes,
Like full springs in, deserts dreary,
Is the rest, the cross supplies;
All who taste it,
All who taste it,
All who taste it
Shall to rest immortal rise.

Come Behold the Wondrous Mystery

Download
1524

Matt Papa
[Key: B]

Verse 1
Come behold the wondrous mystery
In the dawning of the King,
He, the theme of heaven’s praises,
Robed in frail humanity.
In our longing, in our darkness,
Now the Light of Life has come;
Look to Christ, Who condescended,
Took on flesh to ransom us!

Verse 2
Come behold the wondrous mystery:
He the perfect Son of Man,
In His living, in His suffering,
Never trace nor stain of sin
See the true and better Adam
Come to save the hell-bound man,
Christ, the great and sure fulfillment
Of the law, in Him we stand.

Verse 3
Come behold the wondrous mystery:
Christ the Lord upon the tree;
In the stead of ruined sinners
Hangs the Lamb in victory!
See the price of our redemption;
See the Father’s plan unfold,
Bringing many sons to glory,
Grace unmeasured, love untold!

Verse 4
Come behold the wondrous mystery:
Slain by death, the God of life;
But no grave could e’er restrain Him,
Praise the Lord, He is alive!
What a foretaste of deliverance;
How unwavering our hope:
Christ in power resurrected,
As we will be when He comes.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Download
1462

Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1872
[Key: Bb]

Verse 1
Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.

Verse 2
Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess;
The wonders of redeeming love and my own worthlessness.

Verse 3
I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by to know no gain or loss,
My sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.

Beneath the Cross (Getty)

Download
4144

Keith & Kristyn Getty
[Key: D]

Verse 1
Beneath the cross of Jesus
I find a place to stand,
And wonder at such mercy
That calls me as I am.
For hands that should discard me
Hold wounds which tell me come.
Beneath the cross of Jesus
My unworthy soul is won.

Verse 2
Beneath the cross of Jesus,
His family is my own.
Once strangers chasing selfish dreams;
Now, one through grace alone.
How could I now dishonor
The ones that You have loved?
Beneath the cross of Jesus,
See the children called by God.

Verse 3
Beneath the cross of Jesus
The path before the crown,
We follow in His footsteps
Where promised hope is found.
How great the joy before us
To be His perfect bride.
Beneath the cross of Jesus,
We will gladly live our lives.
