Snowballs

We have plumbed the lyrical depths
We have swum the sea of similes
We have climbed metaphor's mountain
We've mined the caves of creativity
We have tried to sum you up
Tried to squeeze in our tiny poetry
But our words they fall so short
All our eloquence and all our liturgy
It's a bit like lobbing snowballs at the moon
Futility and fancy words wrapped in a catchy tune
Like digging up a canyon with a spoon
I don't think we'll reach the end too soon
But perhaps it would be fun to try
Let's take some time now to reflect
To stop and think this thing through logically
How can we summarise the infinite
And still make sure the whole thing rhymes?

God You're bursting full of mercy
Slow to anger, swift to save
Deliverer, our rescuer
Defeater of the grave
You reached down from the heavens
Picked us up and showed us grace
Died a death that You did not deserve
You suffered for our sake
Jesus what else can we say?
We won’t stop singing
Thank You, Thank You Lord
You forgive and You restore
Thank You, Thank You Lord
For You remember our sin no more
When joy pours down like summer rain
Refreshing barren lands
We will not forget that these gifts came
Directly from Your hands
And when sorrows beat like crashing waves
Upon our battered souls
We remind ourselves that our God saves
Make gratitude our goal
Circumstance will not dictate
We’ll never stop singing
You have been so good to us

Miracle Mercy

We have seen the goodness of the Lord,
His faithfulness is bottomless, an ocean with no shore
For when we still were shackled and enslaved,
He was strong to save – He tore the bars away
Now sons and daughters, we're forgiven and free
Miracle Mercy,
The glorious story of heavenly rescue
Of God become man
Unthinkable kindness
You came down to find us
Swallowed up death
Gave us glorious life
We have heard the symphony of grace
How merciful the melody of love that made a way
For when we wandered desperate and alone
He left His mighty throne, to claim us as His own
Now sons and daughters, we're forgiven and free
Hallelujah, what a Saviour
Hallelujah, Jesus, Jesus

You turn brokenness to beauty
You turn winter into spring
Is there anything too hard for You?
You turn poverty to plenty
Emptiness to everything
Is there anything too hard for You?
You’re the God of the impossible
The mighty King of miracles
No, nothing is too difficult for You
You’re the Hope for every hopeless soul
The pardon for the prodigal
There’s nothing God that You cannot make new
You turn fisherman to fathers
You turn scoundrels into saints
Is there anything too hard for You?
Servants into sons and daughters
You bring glory out of shame
Is there anything too hard for You?
You make all things new…

You are not a man that you should lie
Your word will always stand and never die
Your kindness does not change with tides or trends
Your friendship never falters never ends
All I have needed, Your hand has provided
You, You never break
You never break Your promises
You, You never break
You never break Your promises
You said that You are faithful to forgive
You bled and suffered died that we might live
You said that You are always by our side
You have never failed, You've never lied
All I have needed, Your hand has provided
You, You never break
You never break Your promises
You, You never break
You never break Your promises
We will put our trust in You
For everything You say and do
Is wise and kind and trustworthy and true
We will put our trust in You
In everything we say and do
For Father You are faithful through and through

Lord I lift my soul to You
My head held high, my eyes upon Your face
Every morning, mercies fresh like dew
You won’t let me be put to shame
I’m trusting in You,
I’m trusting in You,
I’m trusting in You, only You
My hope is in You,
My hope is in You,
My hope is in You
Lord I give my life to You
All my hopes, and doubts, and dreams at Your feet
Guide me on the path that’s true
Take my hand, show me Your ways
I’m trusting in You,
I’m trusting in You,
I’m trusting in You, only You
My hope is in You,
My hope is in You,
My hope is in You
I have built my house, firmly on the rock
The bitter wind and waves can bluster all they want
For I have placed my trust in Jesus Son of God
I will not be moved, I will not be moved
I have built my house, firmly on the rock
The bitter wind and waves can bluster all they want
For I have placed my trust in Jesus Son of God
I will not be moved, I will not be moved
