Two Songs for Sunday, August 21, 2022: I Thank God & Before the Throne

I Thank God by Maverick City Music

 MaverickCityMusic

 Wandering into the night
Wanting a place to hide
This weary soul
This bag of bones
And I try with all my might
But I just can't win the fight
I'm slowly drifting
A vagabond

And just when
I ran out of road
I met a Man I didn't know
And He told me
That I was not alone

He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God

I cannot deny what I see
Got no choice but to beliеve
My doubts are burning
Like ashеs in the wind
So, so long to my old friends
Burden and bitterness
You can just keep it moving, hey
Nah, you ain't welcome here

From now 'til
I walk the streets of gold
I'll sing of how
You saved my soul
This wayward son has found
His way back home

He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God

Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God
Oh, I thank God

Oh, hell lost another one
I am free
I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free
I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one, oh
I am free
I am free, yes, I am free

Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free
I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, I am free
Oh, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free
I am free, I am free
Hell lost another one
I am free, oh, I am free
Oh, I am free
Oh, hell lost another one
I am free, I am free, oh

He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God

And if He did it for me
He can do it for you
If He did it for me
He can do it for you

Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up out, get up out
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave

If He did it for me
He can do it for you
If He did it for me
He can do it for you
If He did it for me
He can do it for you

The testimony of Jesus
Is the Spirit of prophecy
That means what He did for another
He can do it again
That means what He did for another
He can do it again

The testimony of Jesus
Is the Spirit of prophecy
Is the Spirit of prophecy
Is the Spirit of prophecy
That means what He did for another
He can do it again
That means what He did for another
He can do it
So we prophecy

Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Don't stay there
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up, c'mon
Get up outta, say, get up
Get up, get up, get up outta that
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up
Get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up outta that grave
Don't stay there

Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave, hey
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave, say, get up
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave
Get up, get up, get up
Get up outta that grave

He picked me up
He turned me around
He placed my feet on solid ground
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
Because He healed my heart
He changed my name
Forever free, I'm not the same
I thank the Master
I thank the Savior
I thank God

 


Before the Throne by Selah

 selah

 

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
