RESONATE - EP

Resonate

On my own I had no faith, no place to rest
Just a complicated past and a goal to do my best
Even when I tried the world kept crashing down
Til You led me from sinking sand to solid ground

Let hope rise in this place
And hallelujahs resonate
Death has no power in Your name
Jesus, the one who saves
You are the one who saves

We could not repair the damage that was made
Your holiness so powerful, our brokenness so great
Even then redemption entered on the scene
A story being written to set captives free

Let hope rise in this place
And hallelujahs resonate
Death has no power in Your name
Jesus, the one who saves
You are the one who saves

Hallelujah, let it resonate x4

What shame declared as hopeless
Your promise overcame
You bore it on the cross, standing in my place
And in the quiet hour, the grave could not contain
Your resurrection power,
All glory to Your name

Hallelujah, let it resonate x4

Let hope rise in this place
And hallelujahs resonate
Death has no power in Your name
Jesus, the one who saves
You are the one who saves

Night Watch

Awake again with no rest
Caught up in anxiety, and I’ve been here before
Search for truth in this dry land
In all that I don’t understand my soul thirsts for You

Through the watches of the night
I remember who You are
The Creator of all life doesn’t leave us in the wasteland
We’re held within Your hands

I’ve seen Your power and Your glory
And believe there’s more to come
A treasure that is still unfolding
So my heart and voice will praise You

Through the watches of the night
I remember who You are
The Creator of all life doesn’t leave us in the wasteland
We’re held within Your hands

And we will not fear, though the earth give way
And the mountains fall to the sea
Your peace surrounding

Because You are my help I sing, in the shadow of Your wings x4

Through the watches of the night
I remember who You are
The Creator of all life doesn’t leave us in the wasteland
We’re held within Your hands

Through the watches of the night (Because You are my help I sing)
I remember who You are (In the shadow of Your wings)
The Creator of all life doesn’t leave us in the dark (Because You are my help I sing)
We’re held within Your hands (In the shadow of Your wings)

Cry for Joy

This is a cry for joy
In a world that’s losing its glimmer
Woke up today, all was the same
But I’ll fight for what remains

This is a cry of repentance
Changing my mind in Your grace
I want to be part of the difference
Bring peace to this place

I’ll sing with the joy, deep in my heart
Though I lost some along the way
I still remember Your promise
And there my hope will stay

This is a call for wisdom
When we stand at the fork in the road
May the voice of truth be
Greater than all that deceives

I’ll sing with the joy, deep in my heart
Though I lost some along the way
I still remember Your goodness
And there my hope will stay

This is a song of freedom
You’re restoring the well in my soul
Filling up with wonder
Brokenness made whole

I’ll sing with the joy, deep in my heart
Though I lost some along the way
I still remember Your promise
And there my hope will stay
I still remember Your goodness
And there my hope will stay

Nicodemus

Don’t wanna talk to You just on my time
What’s my time anyway?
Don’t mean to hide,
Got a lot of questions on my mind

Cause I saw You heal the outcast
And reach past all the walls I held in tact

I just want to know who You are
The great I Am, Healer and King
I just want to know Your truth
And believe

You said I’d see Your kingdom
When I was born again
And I tried to stop the lies I heard
From my own mouth and my friends’

I’ve got this reputation
Doesn’t matter in the end

I just want to know who You are
The great I Am, Healer and King
I just want to know Your truth
And believe

For God so loved the world He gave His life
That whoever believes in Him will never die
He did not come to condemn the world
But to save the world through Him

When we laid You in the tomb
The world was dark, the stone unmoved
Three days later You arose
No law can stop the light You compose

Now I know who You are
The great I Am, Healer and King
Now I know I’ve seen Your truth
And believe, and believe, and believe

Because He Lives

Written by Bill and Gloria Gaither

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
Life is worth the living just because He lives

Be Thou My Vision

traditional hymn written by Mary Elizabeth Byrne, Eleanor Hull

Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my great Father and I Thy true son
Thou in my dwelling and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance now and always
Thou and Thou only be first in my heart
High King of heaven my treasure thou art

High Kind of Heaven my victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys O bright Heaven’s Sun
Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision O Ruler of All
