Promises

God of Abraham, You’re the God of covenant and Faithful promises

Time and time again, You have proven You’ll do just what you said

Though the storms may come and the winds may blow I’ll remain steadfast

And let my heart learn, when you speak a word, It will come to pass

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

From the rising sun to the setting same I will praise Your name

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

God from age to age, though the earth may pass away, Your word remains the same

Your history can prove, There’s nothing you can’t do, You’re faithful and true

Though the storms may come and the winds may blow I’ll remain steadfast

And let my heart learn, when you speak a word, It will come to pass

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

From the rising sun to the setting same I will praise Your name

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

I put my faith in Jesus; My anchor to the ground

My hope and firm foundation; He’ll never let me down

(x3)

He’ll never let me down

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

From the rising sun to the setting same I will praise Your name

Great is Your faithfulness to me!

Holy Forever

A thousand generations falling down in worship

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb

And all who’ve gone before us and all who will believe

Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb

Your name is the highest; Your name is the greatest; Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions; All powers and positions; Your name stands above them all

And the angels cry: Ho – o– ly!

All creation cries: Ho – o– ly!

You are lifted high: Ho – o– ly!

Holy forever!

If you’ve been forgiven And if you’ve been redeemed;

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

If you walk in freedom And if you bear His name;

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

We’ll sing the song forever and amen

And the angels cry: Ho – o– ly!

All creation cries: Ho – o– ly!

You are lifted high: Ho – o– ly!

Holy forever!

Hear Your people sing: Ho – o– ly!

To the King of kings: Ho – o– ly!

You will always be Ho – o– ly!

Holy forever!

Your name is the highest; Your name is the greatest; Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions; All powers and positions; Your name stands above them all

X2

And the angels cry: Ho – o– ly!

All creation cries: Ho – o– ly!

You are lifted high: Ho – o– ly!

Holy forever!

Hear Your people sing: Ho – o– ly!

To the King of kings: Ho – o– ly!

You will always be Ho – o– ly!

Holy forever!

How He Loves

He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree

Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy

When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are, And how great Your affections are for me

And Oh how He loves us, Oh, Oh how He loves us, How He loves us all

He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree

Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy

When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are, And how great Your affections are for me

And Oh how He loves us, Oh, Oh how He loves us, How He loves us all

He loves us, O how He loves us,

O how He loves us, O how He loves

(x2)

 We are His portion and He is our prize,

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes

If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking

So Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss

and my heart turns violently inside of my chest

I don't have time to maintain these regrets, When I think about the way…

He loves us, O how He loves us,

O how He loves us, O how He loves

(repeat)
