We must sing with the voices of a thousand angels, We must lift our hands like the trees, Sing to the one who's mercies never die out, If we are silent the rocks would surely cry out, "How great is He" We can't stay silent, oh no no, We can't keep quiet, oh no no, We can't stay silent, oh no no, He saved our souls We must join with creation and the song that it's singing, Sing along as deep cries out to deep, Song to the One who's hand of grace is stretched out, and to the Son who's paid for all our debts now, How great is He He saved our souls
2.
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong and perfect plea, a Great High Priest who's name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me, My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart, I know that while in heaven he stands, No tongue can bid me thence depart, No tongue can bid me thence depart When Satan tempts me to dispare, and tells me of the guilt within, upward I look and see Him there, Who made an end to all my sin, One with Himself I cannot die, my soul is purchased by His blood, my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ my Savior and my God, with Christ my Savior and my God Behold Him there the risen Lamb, My perfect spotless righteousness, The great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace, Because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free, for God the Just is satisfied, To look on Him and pardon me To look on Him and pardon me
3.
Lord, we thank You for Your grace, that we're enriched in ever way, that You have given us Your Son, Your only one, Your only one And there is nothing more we need, only to be conformed to Thee, into the image of Your Son, Your only one, Your only one And as You sanctify, be glorified, make us more like you, we've been justified, given new life, and the good work You began You'll see through Holy Spirit come and break, every power of sin and shame, the things that He has overcome, the battles won, the work is done We long to look like, more like Jesus, We long to live for His honor and fame, We need Your Spirit to transform us, to mirror images of glory and grace
4.
Stiff necked and wicked are our ways, from the freedoms in Your laws we have strayed, in our flesh we are totally depraved, heavy is the weight of guilt and shame We turn to Thee for grace through faith alone, repentant, Lord, we lift our heavy souls sins bitter taste leaves us craving so much more, let Christ be sweet, let Him fill our every void Draw near to us as we draw near to You, our souls they thirst and even faint for You, be to us our Rock and our Refuge our Fortress, our God, our trust will be in You If it wasn't for You, we would be lost, If it wasn't for You, death would swallow us up
5.
Oh my flesh has failed me once again, on my knees to You, Lord, I bend, only You can satisfy my soul, in my heart would You make Your home All the times I've tried before and failed, I can see it now that those were the nails, that held You there upon Your cross, Lord You died to pay my cost, Dead to sin, alive in Him, Dead to sin, alive in Him Have mercy on me, Oh my God, blot out my sin, and make me clean again, Against You I've committed all these things, a contrite heart Your grace ever brings You gave Your life to purchase mine, now in You this love I find, grace amazing take me home, to the arms of the One I love
6.
I hear the Savior say, "Thy strength indeed is small, child of weakness, watch and pray, find in me thine all in all." Lord now indeed I find Thy power and thine alone, can change the lepers spots, and melt this heart of stone Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow And when before the throne, I'll stand in Him complete, I'll lay my trophies down, all down at Jesus feet Oh praise the One who paid my debt and raise this life up from the dead
7.
I love You Lord, and I lift my voice to worship You, oh my soul, rejoice, take joy my King in what You hear and let it be a sweet, sweet sound In Your ear I love you Lord, though I loose my way, forgive my sin, oh my Lord, I pray, I return to You, to Your arms of grace, Son of God I'll praise Your name All of my days I have nothing to offer Thee, let Your Son's own blood cover me, it's my plea, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Praise be to Your glorious name, Evermore
