Month: December 2024

I’m thankful for this year gone by
We have lived and shall not die
Thankful in the low and high
For these and more we thank you LORD

Thankful for the joy of giving
And for the pleasure of receiving
For Grace to keep believing
For these and more we thank you LORD

Thankful for your enduring call
And for gifts You don’t recall
And Your faithfulness through it all
For these and more we thank you LORD

Thankful for You for Emmanuel
God with us, so all is well
Christ in me; it’s definitely well
For this and more we than you LORD

Thankful for giving us meaning
And a purpose for living
Jesus our seasons and reason
We have come to thank you LORD

I have come with gratitude
nothing more but gratitude
I’m thankful, I truly I am
I am here to thank you LORD

We searched and looked
we looked for HIM
to know our source
from where we’ve come
into this place
into this time
and built up alters
to the unknown

Emmanuel
God has come
Emmanuel
Our search is done
The ONE unknown
is now been shown
Emmanuel
God has come

Now we are born
to a world brand new
We will explore
This light that’s TRUE
No longer lost
no longer cursed
we worship on the alter
Where God is known

Emmanuel
God has come
Emmanuel
Our search is done
The ONE unknown
is now been shown
Emmanuel
God has come

This is the birth
we celebrate
God born in human flesh
to close the gap
We who were far
can now be near
and look on HIM
who was unknown

O wanderer
your search is done
Come to Jesus
The Christ, God’s SON
and let Your soul
find rest in HIM
HE is the ONE
Emmanuel

How can I thank you enough
For the many things you have done?
How can I thank you enough
For your tender mercies shown

Though I’m tempted at times
To drown in complaint
Open my eyes
To see again
That You’ve only been good
Always been good
Come around and thank You more

How can I praise You enough
For the wonderful things You have done?
How can I praise You enough
For the marvellous works you have done

I’m tempted at times
To drown in complaint
Open my eyes
To see again
That You’ve only been good
Always been good
Come around and praise You more.
(2nd time) Come around and thank You more

If I had ten thousand tongues
It still wouldn’t be enough
To sing the praise you deserve
Everything Lord I lay down to serve.

Though I’m tempted at times
To drown in complaint
Open my eyes
To see again
That You’ve only been good
Always been good
Come around and thank You more
Jesus I thank You more
My Father I thank You more

Tired and weary
Oh what a journey
lay my head to rest
it hasn’t been the best
But I remember
Yes I remember
That God is right here

So I will
Raise an alter
Raise an alter
Raise an alter to The Lord most high
Raise an alter
right here in this place
Raise and alter of praise onto my God

Made a move
took a step
it has proved
to get me ahead
I am where I need to be
Everything has turned out right
Not by my might but by the presence of The Lord

I will
Raise an alter
Raise an alter
Raise an alter to The Lord most high
Raise an alter
right here in this place
Raise and alter of praise onto my God

Anywhere anytime
Where the presence of God is revealed
An alter is raised unto HIM
Make it known that The LORD is here
I heard, I believe and I know He is always with me
So I will worship The LORD always
Never stop to give God praise

We will
Raise an alter
Raise an alter
Raise an alter to The Lord most high
Raise an alter
right here in this place
Raise and alter of praise onto my God

Verse 1
Turn a new leaf
It’s been a time of grief
But a new day is dawning
It is a new beginning
The Word of Salvation
In this proclamation
The herald of heaven gave
From GOD who saves

Chorus
The Word of salvation
Has come to you
Heaven’s proclamation
By God’s is true
Salvation He gives
Because He is God who saves

Verse 2
Your strength is failing
Feels like Hope is fading
Starting to fall now
But hear the Lord’s call now
He’s reaching out for you
Grab His hand to pull you
He gives amazing grace
He is God who saves

Chorus
The Word of salvation
Has come to you
Heaven’s proclamation
By God’s is true
Salvation He gives
Because He is God who saves

Verse3
Don’t lose hope just yet
Don’t give up at all
There’s power available
When on Jesus name you call
it’s not by your strength
You’ve got to believe
There is mighty mighty power
from Him; GOD who Saves.
