The Leaves
03:35
|

|
The heavens rejoice and the earth sings in chorus
the depths of the oceans and all that live in it
The fields will exult and the stones they’ll cry out
the trees will give voice and the heavens will trumpet
Am/F G Am C/Em // Fmaj7 Dm7 F
Hallelujah
His Blood turned to gold and his body a city
His hands are the branches his breath is so windy
and the leaves are the words for the healing that’s come
for the nations rejoice and creation will cry out
hallelujah….
The leaves that were sown by his hands for our cover
the shame that has flown like a torrential river
has been washed by his blood, all accursed now a blessing
let’s throw ourselves in and drown in all that is holy
hallelujah…

His Name Shall Be

V1
The people who in darkness walked
have seen a glorious light;
the heavenly dawn broke forth on those
who dwelt in death and night,
V2
To greet you, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come,
rejoicing as when reapers bring
their harvest treasures home,
CHORUS:
To us the promised child is born, to us a son is given;
and on his shoulders ever rests all power in earth and heaven,
V3
His peace and righteous government
shall over all extend;
on judgment and on justice based,
his reign shall never end.
Bridge:
His name shall be the Prince of Peace
forevermore adored,
the Wonderful, the Counselor,
the Great and Mighty Lord

Our Heavenly Father

Our heavenly Father! hear our prayer;
Thy name be hallowed every where;
Thy Kingdom come; Thy perfect will,
In earth as heaven, may all fulfill
Give this day's bread, that we may live;
Forgive our sins as we forgive;
Lead us temptation's snares to shun,
And save us from the Evil One:
Chorus 1
Let us pray…thy kingdom come
Let us pray - thy will be done
Now, and for ever, unto Thee,
The kingdom, power, and glory be!
Thus, as our Saviour taught to say,
In truth and spirit, let us pray.
OUTRO
In earth as heaven, may all fulfill…..
..Our Father in Heaven….
your will be done, your kingdom come
O Son our Savior
forgive our sins as we forgive
O Holy Spirit
free us from every temptation

I Wonder as I Wander
03:42
|

|
1,4. I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus the Savior did come forth to die.
For poor on'ry people like you and like I.
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
2. When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall,
with wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall,
And the promised of ages, it then did recall.
3. If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing,
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing,
Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing,
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the king

1.Let Thy Blood in mercy poured,
Let thy gracious Body broken,
Be to me, O gracious Lord
Of Thy boundless love the token;
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.
2.Thou didst die that I might live;—
Blessed Lord Thou cam’st to save me;
All that love of God could give,
Jesus by His sorrows gave me;—
3.By the thorns that crowned Thy brow,
By the spear wound and the nailing;
By the pain and death I now
Claim, O Christ, Thy love unfailing;
4. Wilt Thou own the gift I bring?
All my penitence I give Thee;
Thou art my exalted King,
Of Thy matchless love forgive me;—
Bridge:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, to the Lamb x3

Praise the Lord all you nations
Scattered to the heavnly winds…
In your homes and your cathedrals
Praise the Lord! (Praise the Lord)
Praise the God, who spoke creation
Breathed the heavens and the earth
Uttered every beast and burden
Praise the Lord! (Praise the Lord)
CHORUS:
Let everything, everything with breath
Everything with breath praise the Lord. 2x
Praise the Lord who split the waters
Rescued us from all our foes
Walked us into Jordan’s riches
Praise the Lord! (Praise the Lord)
Praise the Lord who made a promise
One day he would send a Son
He would be our great salvation
Praise the Lord! (Praise the Lord)
CHORUS:
Sound the Lord, oh praise of heaven
trumpets blast and plucked string
Marching bands and sorrows dirge's
Praise the Lord!

Make these dry bones rise and sing
Knit them into new creation
Let your holy winds harvest in the nations amen
