soli deo gloria

soli deo gloria
key of c
4/4 time

lord, in you alone let us be satisfied.
lord, that you alone might be most glorified.
you alone are worthy, you've always been the same.
you alone are holy, we tremble at your name,
we take refuge in your name.

lord, in you alone let us be satisfied.
lord, that you alone might be most glorified.
you alone are worthy, the shepherd and the lamb.
you alone are holy, you're the great i am.
you're the great i am..

(chorus)

soli deo gloria

soli deo gloria

to god alone be the glory

to god alone be the glory.


lord, in you alone let me be satisfied.
lord, that you alone might be most glorified.
in me...

desire of the ages

desire of the ages
key of e
4/4 time

i have rested upon riches,
and i have boasted in my health
i have bought into a dream
i've relied upon myself

now i kneel amidst the ruins
of this self-absorbed (disneyland) charade.
and i pray you'd be my treasure
that the empty pleasures of this world might fade.

(chorus)

desire of the ages

oh i want to want you more

than feeble faith can realize,

than the things that i adore.

desire of the ages

may everything i own,

reflect the awesome value,

of christ and christ alone.


i have trusted in man's wisdom.
i have sought the world's success.
i have coveted possessions,
craving more and caring less.

take this selfish, wicked heart, lord,
i pray you make it something new.
a heart that worships only god,
for nothing is impossible with you.

(after repeat of chorus)

desire of the ages

the universe proclaims

your majesty and power

your worthiness and fame.

when the trial comes
and all hope seems lost
i will find my strength
in the mighty cross

only jesus

only there can i cast my burdens down

only him (there)

only there is joy in sorrow found

v2
if my love grows cold
and my faith feels lost
i will find my heart
in the healing cross

lord you're lovely
Key of D

there are times that i behold your beauty.
there are times i don't see you at all.
open my eyes, lord and teach me to taste and see,
you're everything, my all in all.

(chorus)

lord you're lovely

may you be the frangrance of my life

lord you're worthy

the spotless lamb, my sacrifice

you are holy

a purifying fire for my soul

and your name is wonderful.

lord i see you seated on the throne
the train of your robe fills the temple
you bathe the earth in your glory, most holy god
you touch my lips and i am still.

(chorus)

you turn your head to me, smiling you say "truly
you'll be with me in paradise".

city of god

city of god
key of D
4/4 time

i see a future
i see a country
i see a city with streets of gold,
where we won't grow old.

i keep my hope there.
i keep my eyes there.
lord, keep my heart there so i'll be bold,
and your story's told.

(chorus)

and we praise you know

and we'll praise you then

for ages and ages

and ever and ever,

amen.


i see the present
i see our country
i see our city with streets of pain
with more loss than gain.

lord bring your hope here
lord open eyes here
lord soften hearts here, let mercy flow
and your glory show.

(chorus)

i see a future...
