First Fruits

Hallelujah (Scars)

Lyrics
Charts + Stems

My God, You are the great I Am

The lion and the sacrificial lamb

Through suffering, your pain runs deep

And to my wounds Your wounds alone can speak

You're not a distant God out there

But one who's close and meets my every care

Your lonely death upon the tree

Bore marks that truly show Your love for me

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars will never fade

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars of love will never, ever fade

My suffering is not the end

In sorrow I am walking yet again

But you're a God who can relate

Who loves enough to live my every pain

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars will never fade

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars of love will never, ever fade

Your wounds now healed in victory

And in Your time that's where I want to be

Until that day, I'm safe in you

With faith and power to endure

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars will never fade

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars of love will never, ever fade

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars will never fade

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars of love will never, ever fade

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Your scars of love will never, ever fade

King's Cross

Lyrics
Charts + Stems

King of the ages, all You’ve created

Jesus, ruler of the universe as man.

Laid down Your glory, entered my story

Jesus, gave Your life a ransom as the Lamb,

Your sacrifice has set me free

On the King’s Cross

On the King’s Cross

Scarlet hands and crown of thorns

God Himself who saved His own

I’m forgiven

On the King’s Cross

Now You are risen, and it is finished

Jesus, God as human reigning on Your throne

I am Your treasure, purchased forever

Jesus, with Your life and death marked as my own

Your sacrifice has set me free

On the King’s Cross

On the King’s Cross

Scarlet hands and crown of thorns

God Himself who saved His own

I’m forgiven

On the King’s Cross

On the King’s Cross

Amazing love, how can it be

That You my God, would die for me

On the King’s Cross

On the King’s Cross

Scarlet hands and crown of thorns

God Himself who saved His own

I’m forgiven

On the King’s Cross

On the King’s Cross

Friend of Sinners

Lyrics
Charts + Stems

Jesus, my Friend I have wandered again

But You know me well better than I know myself

Jesus, my Friend I am running again

but You call me home, calling me back to Your love.

You take all my guilt and shame away

You pour over me Your healing grace.

Jesus, friend of sinners

Jesus, ever willing to forgive again and again

Jesus, mercy giver

Jesus, healing river in my soul

Jesus, friend of sinners, friend of mine.

Jesus, my Friend, You welcome me in

You make me new, I just want to be like You

You take all my guilt and shame away

You pour over me Your healing grace.

Jesus, friend of sinners

Jesus, ever willing to forgive again and again

Jesus, mercy giver

Jesus, healing river in my soul

Jesus, friend of sinners, friend of mine.

But You love me like I am.

But You won't leave me like I am.

Jesus, friend of sinners

Jesus, ever willing to forgive again and again

Jesus, mercy giver

Jesus, healing river in my soul

Jesus, friend of sinners, friend of mine.

Fall on Us

Lyrics
Charts + Stems

May the power of Your presence overwhelm us.

Holy Spirit, living breath of God,

give Your grace and gifts to all who gather.

Help us see, set us free.

May the beauty of Your glory captivate us.

Show us ways we fail to walk in love.

Touch our troubled spirit with forgiveness.

Renew us here, draw us near.

Fall on us Holy Spirit.

Breathe in our hearts and light your fire.

Fall on us Holy Spirit.

Move in this place with resurrection power.

Fall on us, fall on us Holy God.

May the comfort of Your mercy bring the peace of God.

Speaking to our lives the word of Christ.

Give us faith and hope for life's long journey.

Fill our souls, make us whole.

Fall on us Holy Spirit.

Breathe in our hearts and light your fire.

Fall on us Holy Spirit.

Move in this place with resurrection power.

Fall on us, fall on us Holy God.

For the proud and for the hopeless;

For the strong and for the weak;

For the sure and for the doubting;

For the one who has no peace;

For the healthy and the ailing;

For the rich and for the poor;

For all who come in victory;

For all who just endure.

Fall on us Holy Spirit.

Breathe in our hearts and light your fire.

Fall on us Holy Spirit.

Move in this place with resurrection power.

Fall on us, fall on us Holy God.

Jesus Loves Me

Lyrics
Charts + Stems

God, You're good to me even when I cannot see it.

Open my eyes and show me how You love me.

You sing over me even in my unbelieving.

Open my ears and let me hear You love me.

Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me.

Yes, Jesus loves me. I know, I know, I know, Jesus loves me.

God, You're close to me even if I cannot feel it.

Open my heart to all You are; You love me.

You are strong for me when my world is crumbling

You are the one thing that I need; You love me.

Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me.

Yes, Jesus loves me. I know, I know, I know, Jesus loves me.

Jesus loves me.

Love that died for me, I will live for You

All my love for You.

Love that died for me, I will live for You

All my love for You.

Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me.

Yes, Jesus loves me. I know, I know, I know, Jesus loves me.

Yes, Jesus loves me. Yes, Jesus loves me.

Yes, Jesus loves me. I know, I know, I know, Jesus loves me.

My Soul Waits

Lyrics
Charts + Stems

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits.

More than the watchmen for the morning.

My soul waits, my soul waits,

My soul waits, my soul waits.

Lord, for You alone my soul waits

Lord, for You alone my soul waits

More than the watchmen for the morning.

Lord, I give You my affections

Pour them at Your feet

Lay down all my expectations here.

Lord, I give You my affections

Pour them at Your feet

Lay down all my expectations here.

My soul waits, my soul waits,

My soul waits, my soul waits.

My soul waits, my soul waits,

My soul waits, my soul waits.
