O PRAISE THE NAME
Verse 1:
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet
My Saviour on that cursed tree
Verse 2:
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone
Chorus:
O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
Verse 3:
Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death where is your sting?
The angels roar for Christ the King
Verse 4:
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
KING OF KINGS
Verse 1:
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
Chorus:
Praise the Father, Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
Verse 2:
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
Verse 3:
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored
Verse 4:
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint
By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
I STAND AMAZED
Verse 1:
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner condemned, unclean
Chorus:
How marvellous, how wonderful
And my song will ever be
How marvellous, how wonderful
Is my Saviour's love for me
Verse 2:
For me it was in the garden
He prayed not my will but thine
He had no cares for his own griefs
But sweat drops of blood for mine
Verse 3:
He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them his very own
He bore the burden to Calvary
He suffered and died for me
Verse 3:
For three days Jesus lay buried
His life spent on Calvary’s tree
But death and hell could not hold him
He rose in victory
Verse 4:
When with ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see
It will be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me
