For Your Glory

V1:
I don't have much to offer to the King of all kings
But I'm bowing down before You and this sinner's heart is all I have to bring
So Lord, if you are willing to use a wretch like me
I will never rest until Your will is done
Lord, this is my offering.

Chorus:
For Your glory
I will climb the highest mountain
I will swim the deepest ocean
Go wherever You may lead
For Your glory
I will pay the price to follow
And I will gladly give my life to one day see...
Your glory.


Song facts: Written less than a year ago; I tried to get away from the same old GCD chord progressions for this one- Capo 4 with some pretty E bar chords

On That Day

V1:
The children of God have kept a watchful eye
For the coming of the Lord
We know not the day, but we've prepared the way
For the day we'll receive our great reward.

Chorus:
The clouds will part in great glory
When the trumpet sounds we'll be swept away
All of creation will sing redemption's story
Everlasting life
In paradise
Will be waiting for me on that day.

Bridge:
And on that day every knee will bow
And on that day every eye will see
The majesty, wonder, power, and might
Of Jesus Christ the King.

V2:
We strive to overcome the trappings of this world
For we know we're not along
We've labored through the night
But we await that sight
Of our Savior coming to bring us home.

Repeat chorus.
Repeat bridge.
Repeat chorus.


Song facts: Written 3 years ago; pretty up-beat.

Under the Blood

V1:
Cast down by the weight of sin's awful curse
It seems as though this crazy world just gets worse and worse
Searching for healing of this broken life
I saw the hill of Calvary, and it was then I realized...

Chorus:
My sins are under the blood
I've been forgiven and redeemed
Through Jesus Christ the King
His suffering paved the way
Every drop
That fell from the cross
Brought salvation to the lost
Mercy flowing like a flood
Under the blood.

V2:
I can not comprehend what He felt that day
The same people He renewed now shunned Him away
The holy Lamb of God payed the price
Through the breaking of His body, His death restored my life.

Repeat chorus.

Bridge:
And I am humbled just to know He knows my name
That precious flow of crimson red gives me power to proclaim...

Chorus:
My sins are under the blood
I've been forgiven and redeemed
Through Jesus Christ the King
His suffering paved the way
Every drop that fell from the cross
Brought salvation to the lost
Mercy flowing like a flood
Under the blood.


Song facts: Written about 2 years ago; one of my teachers in high school was talking about how he used to have a rather alternative lifestyle, but "now all that's under the blood." I thought that was pretty cool.

I Will Stand

Chorus:
I will stand, I will sing
I will hail You as King
I will bow and obey
I will prepare the way
I will shout to the sky
I will lift Your name high
By the strength of Your hand
I will stand
By the strength of Your hand
I will stand.

V1:
Savior, redeemer, and friend
I will worship you until the very end
Lord, I offer you all of my praise
Jesus, holy and true
I will honor Your will in all that I do
Till the day we meet face to face.

Repeat chorus.


Song facts: Written 3 years ago; not one of my favorites, the music is kind of redundant

Fly with Christ

Chorus:
Fly with Christ
Spread your wings and soar
He will lift you to new heights
You will never long for more
Fly with Christ
Let Him transform your life
He'll be the wind beneath your wings
Fly with Christ.

V1:
Anyone in Christ is a new creation
The old is gone and the new has come
So let Him change your heart
Embrace a brand new start
Through Jesus the victory is won.

Repeat chorus.

Bridge:
It's time to take the next steps
And change the world with this light
It's time to make a difference
It's time to take flight.

Christ is counting on us
And we are counting on Christ
Repeat x3

Repeat chorus.


Song facts: This song is based on Chrysalis, and if you haven't been then it's kind of hard to explain all the different elements. First off, "Fly with Christ" is the motto for Chrysalis and the verse is 2 Cor. 5:17, which is in the first verse. Other references in the song are from things that occur on the flight. Let me know if you want to go! It's the bomb diggity.

He Chose the Cross

Chorus:
He chose the cross
When He could have chosen life
He chose the nails
He chose the ultimate sacrifice
He chose to die
He saw my face and heard my cry
And when it seemed all hope was lost
He chose the cross
He chose the cross.


Song facts: Written around 4 years ago; once again, no verses; piano song

Praise Him

Chorus:
Praise Him
Praise Him every day
When you think you've lost your way
Just lift your voice to Heaven
Praise Him
Raise your hands and sing
All glory to the King forevermore
Praise Him.


Song facts: Written about 5 years ago; never got around to the verses for this one either...maybe one day; it's more of a piano song (mainly because it's in Bb, which is NOT my favorite key for guitar)

Christ Is Coming Soon

Chorus:
Christ is coming soon
The signs are everywhere
The time is drawing near
The trumpet we will hear
He will meet us in the air
We will behold our King
His praises shall ring
He has heard our cries
It can not be denied
Christ is coming soon.

Bridge:
We must prepare the way
We have no time to waste
I am waiting for that glorious day
I will see my Savior's face

Chorus

Into Thy Hands

V1:
Hanging on that rugged cross
What was going through His mind
Father, please forgive them
Father, not My will but Thine.

Br. 1:
Then with one final breath
With all his strenght my Jesus cried
For He had one last request
He lifted His head to the sky...

Chorus 1:
Into thy hands
Into thy hands
I've paid the price, sacrificed
Father, hear my cry
Into thy hands.

V2:
Living in this toilsome world
We're wandered through the darkness all alone
Unwilling to sacrifice
We've tried to face the pain on our own.

Br. 2:
But now the time has come
To humbly bow before Christ
We lay it all down at Your feet
Oh , Father, hear our cries.

Chorus 2:
Into thy hands
Into thy hands
You paid the price, you gave me life
Now my heart I'll sacrifice
Into thy hands.


Song facts: Written 4 or 5 years ago; very mellow sounding.

Proclaim the Name

V1:
In this world we often stumble
We're afraid to rise above it all
But I have made my decision
To answer to the call

Chorus:
I will proclaim the name of Jesus
I will stand and not be ashamed
I will spread His awesome power
I will proclaim the name
I will proclaim the name.

V2:
We must learn to face the evil
That plagues the world and feeds on our lives
We must find the strenght to conquer
And trust in God, for He's on our side.

Chorus:
I will proclaim the name of Jesus
I will stand and not be ashamed
I will spread His awesome power
I will proclaim the name
I will proclaim the name.


Song facts: Written about 6 years ago; was the theme for our youth worship service; the music for this song is hard rock (electric guitar, grungy power chords). Rock on!

He Will Never Let the Righteous Fall

V1:
Carrying so many burdens
The load is so heavy, we feel we can't go on
We're trying to climb, but our hands keep on slipping
This winding road of life seems so long..

Chorus:
(But) He will never let the righteous fall
He will pick us up and carry us through it all
Through the darkness and the pain
Our Father's mercy we will gain
He will never let the righteous fall.

V2:
Sometimes we're overwhelmed with our calling from the King
This earthly fight with evil makes our mission stall
But sin's debt has been paid, His comfort's only a prayer away
He will never let the righteous fall.

Repeat chorus.

Bridge:
He will lift us up, we'll see His beautiful face
When we bow before His throne, we'll receive grace

Repeat chorus.


Song facts: I wrote this song around 5 years ago; based on Psalm 55:22 - "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall." The girls on my Chrysalis flight sang it at closing. It was pretty cool.
