Oh, Amazing Mystery!
(Verse 1)
G C G
Glory, honor and fame
G C G
To the Lamb who was slain!
G C G
For the Word became flesh
G C G D
To bring us life through his death
Em G D G
The God who spoke the earth from nought
C G D G
Has met us in the filth we’ve wrought
Em G D G
The darkness has not overcome
C G D G C G
His light, his life, his cleansing blood!
(Verse 2)
Praise, to our God who saves!
He lavishes grace upon grace!
Once cursed and slaves of our flesh,
Now redeemed—we truly are blessed!
Into darkness bursts your glorious light
Your enemies you reconcile
Once rebels, beggars, liars, we
Are brought into your family
(Bridge 1)
C G D
Yes we were dead in sins
C G D G C G
Hopeless and helpless and naked
C G D
But you being rich in love
C G D G C G
Made us alive with Christ the Son
(Verse 3)
Praise him! Our Shepherd laid
His life down for those he made
Now none can snatch from us fold
Forever he tends to our souls
Oh, Amazing mystery!
We broken, blinded, helpless sheep
Are kept forevermore secure
By Christ, the everlasting Lord!
(Bridge 2)
C G D
Yes we were dead in sins
C G D G C G
Hopeless and helpless and naked
C G D
But you being rich in love
C G D G C G
Made us alive with Christ the Son
C G D
Yes we were dead in sins
C G D G C G
Hopeless and helpless and naked
C G D
But you clothed us in your Son
C G D G C G
Garments of righteousness are ours

Arise My Soul Arise

Arise My Soul Arise
G C D G C Em
Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy guilty fears;
Em G D Em D G
The bleeding Sacrifice in my behalf appears:
G C
Before the throne my surety stands,
Am Em
Before the throne my surety stands,
C D G
My name is written on His hands.
He ever lives above, for me to intercede;
His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead:
His blood atoned for all our race,
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary;
They pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me:
“Forgive him, oh, forgive,” they cry,
“Forgive him, oh, forgive,” they cry,
Em, D-G, C, G, D (2x)
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die!”
The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One;
He cannot turn away the presence of His Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood,
His Spirit answers to the blood,
G Esus, E
And tells me I am born of God.
A D E A D F#m
My God is reconciled; His pard’ning voice I hear;
F#m A E F#m E A
He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear:
A D
With confidence I now draw nigh,
Bm F#m
With confidence I now draw nigh,
D E A
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.

I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow
(Verse 1)
G C G
I asked the Lord that I might grow
Em C D
In faith and love and every grace
G C Em C
Might more of His salvation know
Dsus D G
And seek more earnestly His face
(Verse 2)
‘Twas He who taught me thus to pray
And He I trust has answered prayer
But it has been in such a way
As almost drove me to despair
(Verse 3)
I hoped that in some favored hour
At once He'd answer my request
And by His love's constraining power
Subdue my sins and give me rest
(Verse 4)
Instead of this He made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart
And let the angry powers of Hell
Em, G, D, C (2x)
Assault my soul in every part
(Verse 5)
Yea more with His own hand He seemed
Intent to aggravate my woe
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
Cast out my feelings, laid me low
(Verse 6)
Lord why is this, I trembling cried
Wilt Thou pursue thy worm to death?
"Tis in this way" The Lord replied
"I answer prayer for grace and faith"
(Verse 7)
"These inward trials I employ
From self and pride to set thee free
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
That thou mayest seek thy all in me,
That thou mayest seek thy all in me."

O Lord, How Long?
(Intro)
Em, Am, Em, D
(Verse 1)
D Em Am Em
O Lord, how long will the wicked exult?
D Em Am Em
O Lord, how long will they prosper and boast?
Bm Am
When the pain of the innocent
D Em
Serves the lusts of evil men,
D Em Am Em
How long, how long?
(Verse 2)
O Lord, how long must we live in agony?
Our bodies ache, do you see our suffering?
Do you hear us when we cry,
When our day has turned to night?
How long, how long?
(Verse 3)
O Lord, how long must we go on childless?
O Lord, how long must we drown in grief for death?
If you give and take away,
Can’t our sons and daughters stay?
How long, how long?
(Verse 4)
O Lord, how long must we wrestle with our sin?
Disordered loves that we don’t want and we resent
When temptation wins again
And our spirits grieve within
Em E(maj)
How long, how long?
(Verse 5)
A D A
Oh Lord, how long till our faith is turned to sight,
E A D A
Til you kneel down to wipe the tears off from our eyes?
A D
When our loving Father says,
E A
“Well done. Now, enter rest,”
E A
How long?
A D
When the sun is God the Son
E A
And his blood-bought Bride will come,
E A
How long?
A D
When the Spirit brings us up
E A
And we’re swallowed by Triune love
E A D A
How long, how long?

Hail, Sacred Union
(Intro)
G, Em, C, G (2x)
(Verse 1)
G Em C G
Between Jesus and the chosen race
G Em C G
Subsists a bond of sovereign grace
D Em C
That hell, with its infernal doom
Bm C G Em C G
Shall ne’er dissolve, or rend in two.
(Verse 2)
This sacred bond shall never break,
Though earth should to her center shake;
Rest, doubting saint, assured of this,
For God has pledged His holiness
(Verse 3)
He swore but once the deed was done;
‘Twas settled by the great Three in One
Christ was appointed to redeem
All that the Father loved in Him
(Refrain)
C G C G
Hail, sacred union, firm and strong
C G C G
How great thy grace, how sweet the song,
Bm C G Em
That rebel worms should ever be
Bm C Em D
One with incarnate Deity!
C G C G
One in the tomb, one when He rose,
C G C G
One when he triumphed over his foes
Bm C G Em
One when in heav’n He took His seat
Bm C Em D
While seraphs sung at hell’s defeat
(Verse 4)
Blessed by the wisdom and the grace,
The eternal love and faithfulness
That’s in the gospel scheme revealed
And is by God the Spirit sealed
(Refrain)
