Lyrics and Video

I’m so very ordinary, nothing special on my own
Oh, I have never walked on water
And I have never calmed a storm
Sometimes I’m hiding away from the madness around me
Like a child who’s afraid of the dark

But when I call on Jesus
All things are possible
I can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When I call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
‘Cause He’ll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call

La la la la la la la la la la

Weary brother, broken daughter
widowed, widowed lover, you’re not alone
If you’re tired and scared of the madness around you
If you can’t find the strength to carry on

When you call on Jesus
All things are possible
You can mount on wings like eagles and soar
When you call on Jesus
Mountains are gonna fall
‘Cause He’ll move heaven and earth to come rescue you when you

Who am I that You are mindful of me?
That you hear me
When I call
Is it true that You are thinking of me?
How You love me
It’s amazing

How You love me
It’s amazing
So amazing
It’s amazing

Above All – Michael W Smith

Lyrics and Video

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure
What You’re worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure
What You’re worth

O Praise Him – David Crowder Band

A guy walks around New York singing ‘O Praise Him’ from the David Crowder Band.

Turn your ear
To Heaven and hear
The noise inside
The sound of angels awe
The sound of angels songs
And all this for a King
We could join and sing
All to Christ the King

How constant
How divine
This song of ours will rise
Oh, how constant
How divine
This love of ours will rise
Will rise…

CHORUS:
Ohh praise Him!
Ohh praise Him!
He is Holy!
He is Holy!

Turn your gaze
To Heaven and raise
A joyous noise
Oh the sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones
And all this for a king
Angels join to sing
All for Christ our King

CHORUS (x2)

Oh la la la la la la..
Oh la la la la la la..
Oh la la la la la… laa laa laa laa!

You Raise Me Up – Selah

Filed under Christian Music

The music to You Raise Me Up was written by Secret Garden’s Rolf Lovland and the lyrics by Brendan Graham. The song has been recorded over 100 times and this version is by Christian group Selah.

I chose this rendition primarily because of the moving clips of God at work in Africa in the video.

Lyrics and Video

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up…
To more than I can be.

My Redeemer Lives – Nicole C Mullen

Lyrics and Video

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Who’s words alone can catch a falling star?

Well I know my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my redeemer lives

Yeeeah
The very same God
That spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken
They conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know, my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
That this life within me cries
I-I-I know my redeemer

Lyrics and Video

A Saviour on a hill
Dying for my shame
Could this be true?
Defies the world I see
Yet this is all
My heart was longing for
To know You my Lord
To know You Lord

You deserve
You deserve
You deserve all the praise

The heavens wept for You
The earth cried out
“Could He be the One?”
For You so loved the world
You gave Your only Son to say
I love you so
Oh how I love You so

You deserve
You deserve
You deserve all the praise

Hallelujah to the King
Hallelujah we will sing forever

And all humanity
Aches to find this beautiful love You give
We come to You again
To offer up our lives
To worship You alone
To worship You alone

My Jesus, My Saviour
Lord there is none like You
All of my days
I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love

My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, and all that I am
Never cease to worship You

All the earth let us sing
Power and majesty praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I’ll love You, forever I’ll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You

Worthy Is The Lamb – Hillsong

Lyrics and Video

Thank you for the cross Lord
Thank you for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank you for this love Lord
Thank you for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
I Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Thou art worthy (My God I shall sing to thee)
Thou art worthy (Holy, Holy)
Thou art worthy (My God I shall sing to thee)
Thou art worthy (Holy, Holy)
