Two songs for Sunday, August 8, 2021: Before the throne of God above & Let us rise

Before the throne of God above by Kristyn Getty

Keith and Kristyn Getty

 

 

1st Timothy, 1:15
This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance
Christ, Jesus came into the world to save sinners
Of whom I am the foremost
But I receive mercy for this reason
But in me, that's the foremost
Jesus Christ my display His perfect patience
As an example to those who are to believe in Him for eternal life
To the king of ages
Immortal, invisible, the only God
The honor and glory forever and ever, Amen
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest, whose 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 despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look, and see Him there
(One Jesus Christ, Holy Savior) who made an end to all my sin
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
You are my Saviour
You are my God, my King
Sing again, "When Satan tempts me to despair"
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within (there's much guilt within)
(This is what I do) upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin (all of it!)
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
Behold Him there, the Risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless righteousness (my righteousness, born from His righteousness)
The great unchangeable I am
The King of glory and of grace!
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 (one with Himself)
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 (with Christ)
With Christ, my Savior and my God
Thank You Lord Jesus
No Savior but You
No Savior but You

Let us rise by Sarah Reeves

 Saraah Reeves

 

Break down the walls, let love prevail
Pour out Your truth
Teach us Your ways, oh God
Teach us Your ways, oh God
All Your sons and daughters reaching out
Let us rise, let us rise
Make us one, we cry
Let us love like You love, let us rise
Every tongue, every tribe
Every heart unified, let us rise, let us rise
Humbly we stand, longing for change
Bring us to You
Show us Your heart, oh God
Show us Your heart, oh God
All Your sons and daughters reaching out
Let us rise, let us rise
Make us one, we cry
Let us love like You love, let us rise
Every tongue, every tribe
Every heart unified, let us rise
Let us rise unto the nations
With the story of a Savior
Who has come to bring His children home
Let us sing across the waters
With a voice in one accord
We are Yours, we are Yours, we are Yours
Let us rise, let us rise
Make us one, we cry
Let us love like You love, let us rise
Every tongue, every tribe
Every heart unified, let us rise
Let us rise, let us rise
