I love a lot of old Passion Worship songs, so I thought I’d listen to a few of the more recent albums and this song…guys, it had me jumping around the kitchen and yelling “thank You Jesus!”
Check out these lyrics guys! It talks about carrying the weight of sin and shame until Christ called us out of darkness, like the way He called Lazarus from the grave. We serve a God who brings dead people to life, people! If that doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what will.
I was buried beneath my shame/Who could carry that kind of weight?/It was my tomb ’til I met You/I was breathing but not alive/All my failures I tried to hide/It was my tomb ’til I met You/You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Chorus: Out of the darkness/Into Your glorious day/You called my name and I ran out of that grave/Out of the darkness/Into Your glorious day
Now Your mercy has saved my soul/Now Your freedom is all I know/The old made new, Jesus, when I met You/You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Bridge: I needed rescue, my sin was heavy/But chains break at the weight of Your glory/I needed shelter, I was an orphan/Now You call me a citizen of heaven/When I was broken, You were my healing/Now Your love is the air that I’m breathing/I have a future, my eyes are open/’Cause when You called my name/I ran out of that grave
Today’s worship is in inspired by Hebrews 12:1 – Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
I’m reaching for the prize/I’m giving everything/I give my life for this/It’s what I live for/Nothing will keep me from/All that You have for me/You hold my head up high/I live for You
Greater is He/That’s living in me/Than he that is in the world
Faith/I can move the mountain/I can do all things through Christ/I know/Faith/Standing and believing/I can do all things through Christ/Who strengthens me
I’m reaching for the prize/I’m giving everything/I give my life for this/It’s what I live for/Nothing will keep me from/All that You have for me/You hold my head up high/I live for You
Greater is He/That’s living in me/Than he that is in the world
Faith/I can move the mountain/I can do all things through Christ/I know/Faith/Standing and believing/I can do all things through Christ/Who strengthens me [repeat]
I’m in a fight not physical/I’m in a war but not with this world/You are the Light that’s beautiful/I want more/I want all that’s Yours
Joy unspeakable that won’t go away/Just enough strength to live for today/So I never have to worry what tomorrow will bring/’Cause my faith is on the solid rock/And I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God
I’m in a fight not physical/I’m in a war but not with this world/You are the Light that’s beautiful/I want more/I want all that’s Yours
Joy unspeakable that won’t go away/Just enough strength to live for today/So I never have to worry what tomorrow will bring/’Cause my faith is on the solid rock/And I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God
The miracle of Christ in me/Is the mystery that sets me free/I’m nothing like I used to be/Just open up your eyes you’ll see [repeat]
Joy unspeakable that won’t go away/Just enough strength to live for today/So I never have to worry what tomorrow will bring/’Cause my faith is on the solid rock/And I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God/I’m counting on/I’m counting on God [repeat]
When peace like a river/Attendeth my way/When sorrows like sea billows roll/Whatever my lot/Thou has taught me to say/It is well/It is well with my soul
It is well/With my soul/It is well/It is well with my soul
My sin/Oh the joy/Of this glorious thought/My sin not in part, but the whole/Was nailed to the cross/And I bear it no more/Praise the Lord/Praise the Lord, oh my soul
It is well/With my soul/It is well/It is well with my soul
Lord haste the day/When my faith shall be sight/The clouds be rolled back as a scroll/The trump shall resound/And the Lord shall descend/Even so, it is well with my soul
It is well/With my soul/It is well/It is well with my soul
