Praise the Eternal God.
Behold, the Eternal God.
Before the earth began its flight,
Before all the mountains were born,
Long before the wind drew breath.
Lord God, without end.
Everlasting beyond all time.

God sees all we do,
Mistakes which we all make.
Our lives, in time, all turn to dust,
All those who went before,
All swept away by dawn's first light.
So teach us Holy Lord,
To number our days and at dawns first breaking light
Let the favour of the Holy Lord be upon us, be upon us evermore.

When I see the work of Thy hands,
The wonders that flow all over the earth,
How the smallest flower can calm the mightiest sword,
Who am I that you care so much for me?

The bird in the air and the fish in the sea,
The stars in the sky that watch over me,
The ant on the hill and the leaf on the tree,
You made them all for me.

I'm just a man, no hero, no king.
Why should you spare a thought for me?
It seems that you've chosen all the weak to be strong,
The child to halt the enemy's song.

The bird in the air and the fish in the sea,
The stars in the sky that watch over me,
The ant on the hill and the leaf on the tree,
You made them all for me.

What did I do to deserve this?
Why have you given this all to me?
You gave me power over the seed that you planted.
Why did you do this all for me?

The bird in the air and the fish in the sea,
You made them all for me.
The great and the small,
You made them all for me.

If you're passing down my way,
There's something that I need.
A heart that's pure and true and
A heart that doesn't bleed
I'm begging on bended knee, with a sprit oh so strong,
Let me on in, let me on in.

If you're looking out my way
Have mercy on me,
Kindness and compassion's
What I need to set me free.
I'm begging on bended knee, with a sprit oh so strong,
Let me on in, Let me on in.

Mercy me, O Lord, come look down on me
Mercy me, O Lord, reach out reach out to me

And if I have a heart that's true
And a spirit that is strong
I can help to stop the sinners
When they're going, when they're going wrong.

Mercy me, O Lord, come look down on me
Mercy me, O Lord, reach out, reach out to me

If you're looking down my way
There's something that I need
A heart that's pure and true.
And a heart that doesn't bleed

If you're passing down my way
Have mercy on me,
Kindness and compassion's
What I need to set me free

Wash this guilt away from me
Open up your heart to me
Let me on in, let me on in.

Mercy me, O Lord, come look down on me
Mercy me, O Lord, reach out, reach out to me

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in pastures green.
He leads me beside the waters so still,
And there he restores, restores my soul.

He leadeth me in the path of righteousness,
For His names sake, even though I walk through the valley of death.
I fear no evil, for Thou art with me,
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a banquet there before me,
In the presence, the presence of my enemies.

Thou anoint my head with oil,
My cup overflows. Surely Thy goodness, and Thy mercy,
Shall follow me all of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord, forever.

The fool will say, "There is no God",
Their mind corrupt, no room for good
The Lord looks down, the Lord looks down
To see who has wisdom within them.

The fool will say, "follow me",
The fool will say they'll set you free
The Lord looks down, the Lord looks down
To see who has wisdom within them.

And they will mock a poor mans dreams,
And they will rock a poor mans schemes,
The good man who's refuge is the Lord.

The Lord looks down, the Lord looks down
To see who has wisdom within them.

Trust in the Lord and do good.
Trust in the Lord and do good
He will give to you all your heart desires.

The Lord knows the ways of the pure in heart,
Their kind will last forever.

Trust in the Lord and do good.
Trust in the Lord and do good
He will give to you all your heart desires.

The Lord knows the ways of the pure in heart,
Their kind will last forever.

Trust in the Lord and do good.
Trust in the Lord and do good
He will give to you all your heart desires

Consider, and answer me my Lord.
Re-store my strength; don't leave me here to die.
I know that you've been good to me,
I know that you will rescue me,
So please, answer me my Lord.

I've trusted in your steadfast love,
My heart will rejoice in Thy salvation,
I find these times so hard to bear,
I need you Lord to hear my prayer,
So please, answer me my Lord.

How long Oh Lord? Will you hide your face from me forever?
How long must I bear this pain in my soul?
How long Oh Lord? Will my enemies prevail forever?
How long till I see the light of your love?

I've trusted in your steadfast love,
My heart will rejoice in Thy salvation.
I find these times so hard to bear,
I need you Lord to hear my prayer,
So please, answer me my Lord.

How long Oh Lord? Will you hide you face from me forever?
How long must I bear this pain in my soul?
How long Oh Lord? Will my enemies prevail forever?
How long till I see the light of your love?
How long till I see the light of your love?

My soul will never forget the things you give to me.
Every day you fill my life with goodness from the highest tree.
Oh, however long or short my life turns out to be,
Oh I know as high as the heaven above, your love will always be there for me.
You have so much patience with me,
even when I am wrong,
you know all that I am you put me right and make me strong.

Oh however long or short, my life turns out to be.
Oh I know as sure as heaven above,
you love will always be right there,
There for me.

If I flew away, far beyond the east,
You would still be there, You would still be there.
If I asked the night to hide me from your sight,
You would still be there, You would still be there.

Lord Almighty, you know all there is to me,
My every breath, my every word, all my thoughts.
Lord Almighty, you are all around me.
There is nowhere I could ever hide from you.

All the days of my life are already known,
You knew all of me long before I was born.

Lead me in your ways, let me walk a path that's true,
Don't let me hear the words of those against You.
Look in my heart and guide me on my way,
With every step keep me safe from harm.
All of my life keep me by Your side.

People of all the Earth, God is King, Praise his name.
Nations of all the earth, proclaim this: God is King.

From ocean to cornfield,
From forest to seed,
Let them sing triumphant,
In praise to the King.

Great are the works of the Lord;
They who have pleasure in them come to know them.
Full of honour and majesty is His work,
And His righteousness endures forever.
He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered;
The Lord is gracious and merciful

He provides food for those who fear Him;
He is ever mindful of His covenant.
He has shown His people the power of His works.
The works of His hands are just and true,
They are a source of strength forever and ever.

To You I give my heart,
In You I place, all my trust.
I know if You were my judge,
You would only see the innocence in me.
I will sing of how beautiful You are,
I will tell of how wonderful You are.
For my love for You is so true,
So innocent and true.
For You I'd walk through fire.
With You I'll stand any test.
Your love fills up my eyes.
I can see in You a love that will be true.

I will sing of how beautiful You are,
I will tell of how wonderful You are.
For my love for you is so true,
So innocent and true.

Lord, let my cry come to Thee;
Do not hide Thy face in my distress.
Hear my call and answer me.
My days pass away like smoke,
My bones burn like a furnace and cleave to my flesh.
I am but like a pelican in the wilderness.
An owl watching over a dark deserted dwelling.
Because of Thy indignation and anger
Thou has taken me up and stuck me down.
My days are like an evening shadow,
I am but withering grass.
Thou hath broken my strength in midcourse and made short my days.
But Thou, Oh Lord are enthroned forever,
Thy memorial endures from generation to generation.
Nations fear Thy name, and all the Kings Thy majesty.
Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Thy hands.
The children of Thy servants shall dwell secure,
Their posterity shall be established before Thee.

When I cried, the God of my salvation answered me.
He gave me room when I was in distress, was gracious to me and heard my prayer.
O men, how long will your hearts be closed.
How long will you love vain words and seek what is false?
It is the Lord who grants favours to those whom he loves.
Tremble and sin not. Sit on your bed and be still.
Make justice your sacrifice and trust in the Lord.
"What can bring us happiness?" many say.
Lift up the light of Thy countenance upon us Oh Lord.
You have put into my heart a greater joy than all the riches of the world.
I will lie down in peace and sleep at once,
For you alone Lord, make me dwell in safety.

There was a time not long ago,
I'd lost my way, no way to go
You heard my cry, received my prayer,
Took the time to show you cared.

I read your word, followed your law,
I've found the truth, I can ask for no more.

Your words are my light in my darkest day.
Your words guide my heart to a better day.
You are my shelter, you are my shield.
I trust in your word and my soul is healed.

I've changed my ways, I've done what's right,
I followed your rules, now I'm in the light.

My hands are clean from what's gone before,
Humbled myself, now you've opened the door.

Your words are my light in my darkest day.
Your words guide my heart to a better day.
You are my shelter, you are my shield.
I trust in your word and my soul is healed.

Not so long ago my life had broken down,
Not the perfect place to be.
From up on high you came on down to me,
You broke my chains and set me free.

Forever my Lord,
I will praise your name.
Forever my Lord,
It will be the same.
Forever my Lord,
I will know what's true,
Forever my Lord,
My life belongs to you.
