Come Thou Long Expected Jesus by Keith & Kristyn Getty

Keith and Kristyn Getty

Come, Thou long expected JesusBorn to set Thy people free;From our fears and sins release us,Let us find our rest in Thee.Israel's strength and consolation,Hope of all the earth Thou art;Dear desire of every nation,Joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver,Born a child and yet a King,Born to reign in us forever,Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.By Thine own eternal SpiritRule in all our hearts alone;By Thine all sufficient merit,Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

By Thine all sufficient merit,Raise us to Thy glorious throne

Gratitude by Brandon Lake

All my words fall shortI got nothing newHow could I expressAll my gratitude?

I could sing these songsAs I often doBut every song must endAnd You never do

So I throw up my handsAnd praise You again and again'Cause all that I have is a hallelujahHallelujahAnd I know it's not muchBut I've nothing else fit for a KingExcept for a heart singing hallelujahHallelujah

I've got one responseI've got just one moveWith my arm stretched wideI will worship You

So come on, my soulOh, don't you get shy on meLift up your song'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungsGet up and praise the Lord

Oh come on, my soulOh, don't you get shy on meLift up your song'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungsGet up and praise the Lord

Come on, my soulOh, don't you get shy on meLift up your song'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungsGet up and praise the Lord, hey

Praise the LordPraise the Lord

Praise the Lord

So I throw up my handsPraise You again and again'Cause all that I have is a hallelujahHallelujahAnd I know it's not muchBut I've nothing else fit for a KingExcept for a heart singing hallelujahHallelujah
