Give Me A Dream

Give me a dream that I will surely cherish
Unless I walk in conformity
Grant me a vision that I may not perish
Or death shall overtake me

Give me your presence or give me death
One is, without the other anyway
From your lips may I feel the Spirits breath
Let this be the dawning of a different day

Let my spirit be consumed by the burning flame
This is life, all else is death
May I walk in your presence and never be the same
Let me follow you to the ends of the earth

This passion, this furnace, let the flame burn
Set my lukewarm spirit on fire
And I will fly where the eagles fly
And I will fly higher and higher

Psalm 46

You're a present help in time of need
And so, we shall not fear
Though the earth it shakes and the mountains fall
We stand for you are near

If God be in the midst of us
We shall not be moved
For the rivers flow and the streams make glad
All our troubles are removed

And just as it is darkest
Right before the dawn
God shall shout with a mighty voice
And angels add their song

Shout to God in victory
He burns chariots with fire
The Kingdoms moved and nations raged
And sunk into the mire

I Will Praise You

I will praise my Lord with my whole heart
For you are worthy of all praise
Your righteousness endures forever
And I will worship you all of my days

Holy and awesome is the name of our God
He has redeemed His people by love
Righteousness and justice flows from His throne
And your power flows down from above

Your precepts are sure and stand forever
And to fear you is food for the soul
You are gracious and loving and full of compassion
To follow you is our singular goal

Let me praise you Lord with my whole heart
Glorifying you in all that I do
May I seek you first and the Kingdom of God
May my life be all about you.

Psalm 133

We are filled with the oil of gladness
It covers my brothers and I
For joy has overcome sadness
As the glory of God fills the sky

From the north and the south, the east and the west
The children of God come together
They lie down as one at rest
They are unified in Christ forever

Just as manna came down from above
Now its raining from heaven, its raining love
My brothers and sisters are trembling within
As we stand together we are soaked to the skin

The rain that soaks Zion from God is a sign
To dwell together to be filled with new wine
Hand in hand we will stand that He may open the door
The hearts of His people shall live evermore

Psalm 6

My soul is greatly troubled
But you oh Lord-how long
I am weary with my groaning
And my night has lost its song

All night long my bed it swims
And my couch is bathed in tears
My grief has overwhelmed me
And I am surrounded by all my fears

The Lord has heard my weeping
As I lay in my bed at night
Oh Lord you know how weak I am
For you have surely beheld my plight

Oh Lord do not rebuke my soul
And in your sorrow chasten me
For you came and died upon the cross
You came to set me free

Psalm 85

Mercy and truth have come together
To set the captives free
They raise their hands and glorify
And get down on their knees

You have forgiven the sins of your people
For your glory they had missed
But now you pour your glory out
Righteousness and peace have kissed

Righteousness and peace, mercy and truth
Forever they shall stand
They flow together from heaven above
They flow throughout the land

Our God has rent the heavens
And He covers all our sin
And Christ the Lord, the risen King
He hears from deep within

Psalm 61

From the north and south I will cry to you
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I
When my heart is overwhelmed and waters cover me
And it seems that I must surely die

From the east and the west I will cry to you
Shelter me from the storm I plea
When the dark clouds come and threaten to consume
O Lord shine your light on me

From the bottom of my heart I will cry to you
I will abide in the shelter of your wings
When the thunder roars and the lightning flashes
Forever your praises I shall sing

In all the earth I shall praise the Lord
For you are my strong high tower
No violent seas nor raging storms
Can match your mighty power

Psalm 72

As long as the sun and moon endure
You'll bring justice and peace to the poor
Oppression and violence shall be no more
When you step down O Lord

Your mercy shall fall like rain on the grass
Gods people shall no longer shout out ' alas'
Your dominion and glory shall come to pass
When you step down O Lord

The righteous shall flourish and stand in that day
And with all of their heart shall cry out and say
I will follow you Lord all of the way
When you step down O Lord

Your name shall continue your work it was done
For when you stepped down it was victory you won
And we know that your glory has only begun
When you step down O Lord

Psalm 147

Come and lift your voice all ye people
And praise our glorious King
Let the church bells ring in the steeple
As we gather together and sing

He heals the broken-hearted
He is great and mighty in power
From the proud He has departed
Even now until this hour

All the stars up in the night sky
He knows them one by one
From the valley's low to the mountains high
He is brighter than the sun

He covers the heavens with a cloud
As He prepares the rain
He makes the thunder clap out loud
And all my enemies He has slain
