Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His Son.
And now let the weak say, "I am strong,"
Let the poor say, "I am rich,"
Because of what
The Lord has done for us.
In every heart a question forms:
What should I do with this life?
Yes, we were made to know the answer,
Those who seek will find.
What can I do and
What's most important for me, for me?
If one single path led me on,
How simple life would be!
Refrain:
We're given a chance to love Him,
Given a chance to stand for the truth.
We're given a chance to live for Him,
Given a chance to walk in His strength.
We're given a chance
To love one another
To serve our Master and Brother
Who died for us and sets us free!
How can we speak the truth to others
When no one who listens is found?
God hears our words
And he honors them all
None of them fall to the ground.
We'll tell all our friends
So their lives never end
Let them hear, let them see.
We'll stand for what's right
Though it costs us our lives,
And not fear: We are free!
Refrain:
We're given a chance to love Him,
Given a chance to stand for the truth.
We're given a chance to live for Him,
Given a chance to walk in His strength.
We're given a chance
To love one another
To serve our Master and Brother
Who died for us and sets us free!
Bridge:
Death behind and fear aside,
We stand ready to go.
Our victory won, we've only begun
To run the race for the prize.
Refrain:
We're given a chance to love Him,
Given a chance to stand for the truth.
We're given a chance to live for Him,
Given a chance to walk in His strength.
We're given a chance
To love one another
To serve our Master and Brother
Who died for us and sets us free!
Glorious in majesty
Holy in His praises
Jesus, our Savior and our King.
Born a man yet God of old
Let us all adore Him
Filled with His Spirit let us sing.
Refrain:
Living is to love Him
Serving Him to know His freedom
Come along with us
To join the praise of Jesus.
Come to Jesus now
Go to live His word rejoicing.
Victory He won for us
Freeing us from darkness
Dying and rising from the dead.
Living with the Father now
Yet He is among us
We are the body, He the head.
Refrain:
Living is to love Him
Serving Him to know His freedom
Come along with us
To join the praise of Jesus.
Come to Jesus now
Go to live His word rejoicing.
Brethren, we live in love
Living with each other
Gladly we share each other's pain.
Yet He will not leave us so
Soon He is returning
Taking us back with Him to reign.
Refrain:
Living is to love Him
Serving Him to know His freedom
Come along with us
To join the praise of Jesus.
Come to Jesus now
Go to live His word rejoicing.
Singing all the glory and praises
O, singing with the angels
And the host of heavens
Praises to the Lord Most High
Glory and honor and praise.
Raising all our voice in praise
Lifting all our hands
To Him, our Lord and King
Let's give our all
Glory and honor and praise.
He is our God and King,
Our loving God and King.
Worthy are You, O Lord, of our praise.
He is our God and King,
Our loving God and King.
We bless Your name,
We give You glory and praise.
What no man could hope for now conceived
Earth is raised to heaven on this eve.
God on earth and man in heaven
Who can such a wonder fathom?
For where God wills, there nature yields.
Refrain:
"Glory," cry the angel choirs,
Glory fills creation's song,
Hope of hearts, most pure desire
Unto us the Lord God is born.
Sprung from Jesse's root, the promised Son
Hope of prophets, our Desired One
Key of David, Star of Light
Man is raised to heaven's height
Rejoice, for our Emmanuel is come!
Refrain:
"Glory," cry the angel choirs,
Glory fills creation's song,
Hope of hearts, most pure desire
Unto us the Lord God is born.
Word of God made flesh in perfect love
Man made Son of God to reign above
God descends in mortal flesh
Man is clothed in holiness
The child is born to set the nations free!
Refrain:
"Glory," cry the angel choirs,
Glory fills creation's song,
Hope of hearts, most pure desire
Unto us the Lord God is born.
O, the depth of the riches
And the wisdom
And the knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments
How inscrutable His ways!
God alone! God alone!
In Your courts O my Lord, is my home.
You are my treasure, my portion,
Delight of my soul.
My life, my salvation, my fortress,
My God and my all.
O my soul, claim nothing as your own,
For you, there is God and God alone!
God is good, we sing and shout it.
God is good, we celebrate.
God is good, no more we doubt it.
God is good, we know it's true
And when I think of His love for me
My heart fills with praise
And I feel like dancing.
For in His heart there is room for me
And I run with arms open wide.
God is my refuge, my trust and my deliverer.
A help close at hand in times of distress.
So I will lift my eyes unto the mountains,
From whence comes my help?
From the Lord, enthroned on high;
He is my rock and my salvation, I'll stand firm.
Refrain:
God is raising an army
A people to follow His word.
Sound the horns
And raise the vict'ry shout
Proclaim the day of the Lord!
Proclaim the day of the Lord!
All of creation longs for the day
To shed her humiliation
To leap with boundless joy
From her broken chains.
Refrain:
God is raising an army
A people to follow His word.
Sound the horns
And raise the vict'ry shout
Proclaim the day of the Lord!

So we await our God.
Let all who breathe now praise Him
Let even stones break forth
With songs of praise!
Refrain:
God is raising an army
A people to follow His word.
Sound the horns
And raise the vict'ry shout

Grant one day that
We will see your face.

Though sun and moon disappear
Our God will be our fortress
The Lamb of God
Will be our lasting light.
To end:

A people to follow His word.
Sound the horns
And raise the vict'ry shout
Proclaim the day of the Lord!
Proclaim the day of the Lord!
Proclaim the day of the Lord!
God the blessed and only sovereign
King of kings and Lord of lords
Dwells in majesty immortal
And in light unapproachable
Him no eye has seen
And no one can see.
Refrain:
To Him be honor and eternal dominion
Honor and dominion forever!
To Him be honor and eternal dominion
Honor and dominion forever! Amen!
Refrain:
God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way.
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side.
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way.
He will make a way.
By the roadway in the wilderness
He'll lead me.
Rivers in the desert will I see.
Heaven and earth will fade
But His words will still remain.
He will do something new today.
He walked where I walked (He walked where I walked)
He stood where I stand (He stood where I stand)
He felt what I feel (He felt what I feel)
He understands (He understands)
He knows my frailties (He knows my frailties)
Shared my humanity (Shared my humanity)
Tempted in every way (Tempted in every way)
Yet did not sin. (Yet did not sin.)
Refrain:
God with us, so close to us
God with us, Emmanuel.
God with us, so close to us
God with us, Emmanuel.
One of the hated race (One of the hated race)
Stung by the prejudice (Stung by the prejudice)
Suffering injustice (Suffering injustice)
Yet He forgives. (Yet He forgives.)
Wept for my wasted years (Wept for my wasted years)
Paid for my wickedness (Paid for my wickedness)
He died in my place (He died in my place)
That I might live. (That I might live.)
Refrain:
God with us, so close to us
God with us, Emmanuel.
God with us, so close to us
God with us, Emmanuel.
