Songs Written By Paul

I Will Call on the Lord

I will call on the Lord
Lord Jehovah King
King, yet Forgiver of men
Men that sin like me
Me, how I need to be changed
Changed within by You
You alone satisfy...

I am so quick to be swayed
Swayed away from You
You never falter or fail
Fail is all I do
Do you have grace left for me?
Me the sinful soul?
Solace is only in You.

Lord, only You can forgive
Give Your pardon now
Now, this is what I must have
Have You grace, O Christ
Christ, no other can cleanse
Cleanse and make me whole
Holy is what I must be

You, alone are my hope
Hope and Saviour, Lord
Lord, how I need your free grace
Grace and mercy please
Please, forgive all my sin
Sinfulness and take
Take all my guilt and my shame.

I call on the Lord... (2x)

Resurrection Hymn

Sing, O Church, your glorious praises,
Christ, your Lord, rose from the dead!
He, the proof that God will save us;
Jesus our own glorious Head!
He our Master! He our Saviour!
He the Victor over death!

Raised by God to reign eternal,
Never did He see decay.
Now He reigns from Heav'n supernal;
Death no longer holds its sway.
O, the power of the victory,
How His grace and love display!

What a wondrous consolation.
Jesus' death was not in vain.
Raised as God's own confirmation,
That the Son broke sin's domain.
He is Living! He is Living!
Shout forth now this glad refrain!

Men will mock and disbelieve Him;
Worry not at their refrain.
They shall bow the knee before Him,
To their sorrow and their bane.
He's the Champion! Mighty Conqueror!
All will bow before His Name!

Praise Him for the grace He gave you,
To repent and to believe.
Praise Him for His love that saved you,
Calling you Him to receive.
Praise the Saviour! Risen Saviour!
Worship Christ the risen King!

The Love of God

The love of God is like the sea,
O drowning me in grace.
And cleansing me from all my sin
That I might see His face.

The love of God is like the sun,
With mercy its own light.
Exposing all my wickedness,
Then standing me upright.

The love of God is like the air,
Without it I'd lay dead!
For by His love He makes me live,
And holds me to the End.

I see Your love in all You've made
It's pow'r cannot be hid.
So let creation call to mind
All that my Saviour did.

And help me, Lord, to love like You;
To die to self each day.
O, make my mark, my aim, my goal,
To walk the Saviour's way.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now to Him who is able to do,
Exceeding, abundantly beyond,
Whatever we ask, or whatever we think;
By His power in us.

To Him be the glory (echo)
To Him be the glory (echo)
Both in His people and His Son,
For now and forever, Amen!

Keep Me Faithful

Keep Me Faithful
O, keep me faithful...
Keep me faithful...

The time has come to be who I am;
To die to self and follow the Lamb...
To live the Truth and act like a man...
And by His grace I know that I can!

For now and forever
I will be Your man
I will seek to follow You, Lord
For now and forever
I am saying, "no" to sin
I am trusting in Your great power
O, keep me faithful...
Keep me faithful...

The Lord has given more than I need;
To mortify my lust and my greed...
When temptings come I cannot concede...
For by His Spirit I will succeed!

Song of the Lamb

Song of the Lamb (O Lord God the Almighty)
O Lord God the Almighty!
Great and amazing are all of your deeds
O King of the nations!
Just and true are your ways

Who will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name? For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed."

Reconciled (Colossians 1:21-23)

"Estranged and hateful," such was I.
To my Creator, God Most High.
A fool who thought his soul was free,
While blind and deaf, without one plea.
But Christ, the Lamb of God, who came
To bear my curse and bear my shame
Appeased the rightful wrath of God
And now my soul is overawed!

For I am the Offended's friend
By grace I cannot comprehend.
Now reconciled to God the King,
I cannot help but praise and sing!
My Rescuer, the Righteous Judge
Now looks at me and holds no grudge;
He casts my sins from west to east,
Invites me to His heav'nly feast.

Then alienated by my sin
Now made holy and pure within
Then hating Him who once made all
Now made blameless never to fall.
Then doing evil all my days
Now made faultless to His great praise.
O, such amazing grace is this
That snatched my soul from the Abyss!

All this because my Saviour died,
His body cruelly crucified;
The Father's justice fully met,
I stand before Him without debt.
He smiles at me and calls me, "Friend."
The enmity put to an end.
O, Jesus thank You, and Lord, please,
Keep reconciling Your enemies.
