When words fall short to utter
Truths, of praise to God in Heaven
Sing but one name, speak with one voice
The name, above all names

The name of Jesus Christ

When world around falls apart
And nothing still remains unshaken
Sing, to heart and soul, to mind and body that
Name, too beautiful, to comprehend

That name of Jesus Christ

When pains, so deep
Rend tears in heart, beyond repair
And words fall short to utter grief
Speak, and sing that name, that perfect name

Of the Savior Jesus Christ

For He, in Himself, is enough to cover us
He is enough, to heal our broken hearts, and too
Utter that which we cannot, and create in us
A heart of praise and adoration, not possible without Him

To make our brokenness, into beauty
To turn our mourning, into joy
To take our sins, our failures, our shame
And make us new beneath His holy blood

For He, is enough
He is sufficient to cover us, to carry us
He is enough to keep us His
Enough to see us home to Him

Not by our merit, or our own worth, but by
His own strength and power and
By His great, unending mercy
By His love, and grace are we

Free to be His own!

So praise that name, above all names
Glorify, that God in Heaven who
Came and gave, Himself for us
Who is, more than enough

All we could ever hope for,
More than we could ever dream
Endless, and boundless as the sea
Whose greatness goes beyond the skies

Praise Him, and call upon that name
That name, above all names
The name, of the only Begotten Son
Of our Healer, our Savior, our Redeemer, our King

The name of Jesus Christ alone
Praise Him forevermore
For He is enough
Cling to that name alone!

Jesus, Jesus
Father we look to You.
You are our only One
The only One we could ever need

Jesus, Jesus
Oh how we need You
How we need You again
For You are our only One, our only Hope

Jesus, we need You again!
Speak to us again we pray
We have no good, apart from You
Jesus, fill us with Your love

Oh how we need You again!
Only You are faithful and
Only You are good
Jesus, we look to You

How we need You again!

Generation after generation
Hour, after hour
Days go by and no one cares
No one bleeds, or weeps, or cares to see
The world which lay around them

Too happy, to go on
In little world, they’ve always known
Too content to make a change to anything
That requires more from them than
A nod or simple like

How far have we fallen, these
Who once proclaimed, the world to be
As it was, and walked in power
Till world itself was changed and
Made new by the One within them

Too long have we been content without
The living, breathing God in us
Too long have we left Him under steeple and
Preferred He stay that way
Lest we be uncomfortable, or even

Shaken from our little worlds and
Made awake to see
This world we have made
By our indifference, by our uncaring and
By our refusal to make a change

In our own hearts, and minds
By our refusing to submit to Him
To Him who hung the stars, have we
Found out nation, once great, in shambles
Our youth dying without cause

Our children murdered, with our approval and
The homeless starving to be seen, and heard
Yet ignored as we pass them by
Too busy, too busy to care
Or do something to save them

Too happy, in our ignorance
Too calm in our willingness
To disbelieve anything
We do not like or need
Too tired, to wake up and see

This world that we have made

But most of all, I think we have
Neglected, this Holy Savior
This One who brought us back to life and
Ransomed us, back to Him and
Made us born anew, in His blood

That made us His own

We have, forgotten Him
Quite happily, that we could sleep
However we wished, so carelessly
In whatever world we choose to believe
That we may not hear His voice

That we could go on sleeping
Forever deaf, to the cries of those
In need, and dying for a Savior
Forever content, in our little pews
Bored by religious speeches, and happy tunes

No longer awed by the Savior King
No longer broken at His feet
No longer caring, to see His face
No longer calling, on His name
How long, how long dear church

Will you go on this way?

The nation, is falling
Your children, are dying
Just for a night of happiness
Away from griefs so easily brought
By world, they don’t know how to forget

By sins they know not how to escape

When you, oh church do know
What can save these desperate ones
You’ve spoken it from the beginning
No matter how you drone now, you once knew
The fire of the Holy Spirit who

Has left you, by your choosing
To find those that want Him there
Yet you sit unmoved
You do not care
How long, will you slumber?

I say to you, no more today
No more tomorrow if you go on
A day is coming, surely, it is here
When happy speeches and silent songs will be
No more to keep you afloat

We are in a day and age when
The mundane, the traditional
Is no longer enough
Religion, speeches
Songs of smiles and of lies no more

Can keep you from this fall

You must, rise up
And be as you were called to be
Not content, in lack of Him
Not filled, by worldly pleasures and
Not happily desolate of life and truth

The day has come to need Him again

You must find Him, as your greatest need
And seek Him, as your every breath
Oh church, wake up!
You cannot afford to sleep any longer!
Your King is waiting, your King is asking

For you to give up, your fleshy pursuits
To give up, your other lovers and
Return to Him once more
No other thing, will see you saved
No other One but Him

The time of ignorance, of uncaring
The time of slumber, it is done
Wake and see your Glorious King and
Repent to Him instead
Run to Him, who alone can save

And be as you, dear church, were made to be
The bride of Christ Himself
No longer a pawn of world or men
No longer born of money or of pride
But His. But His alone.

Dear church, the time has come
Return to Him again
Come back to Him, your first Love
There is no time to waste
Heaven can wait no longer

He is calling, He is asking
For His bride to return to Him
Will you sit, unmoved once more
Or come to Him instead?
The choice is yours, but know I beg

The Savior calls to you
Do not keep Him waiting, any longer
Do not break His heart, any more
The time is now, return to Him
There is no other way

No other, but this Jesus
None but Jesus Christ alone
We need Him again~

As I open Word laid before me
By Your merciful and loving hands, I find
Words from You, speaking to me
Telling me the things I have never known and yet

Have longer for in my heart

For in my longing after You, I find
My soul to grow weary of this world, and I
Who am never satisfied, who often fails
I who know not what I seek, and yet

My heart still pursues

For this desire, is not my own
It is given of Your glory
For all I am, is fallen and lost
Without You, I am nothing, and yet

Still You have loved me so

And so when I open Word
From Heaven given, from Yourself
I hear not dead words of religion,
Nor weary pages of legalism but

The only thing, the only Voice

My heart truly needs
For in those pages, I do find
Or rather, I am found
By You, by You

I am met by You in Word

And I am filled, to the full
Running over with Your love
Overcome, made pure by blood
Of precious, Holy Son

And yet satisfied, within Your presence as
I happily fall apart in Your glory and
Find myself undone in Your beauty
Overwhelmed Your goodness

Overwhelmed by all You are

For in those pages, You speak
Yourself from Heaven, words of Life
Breathing into these dead bones
Reviving me from self wrought death and sin

Cleansing me by Your own blood, that I
That I could never deserve
And yet You still give freely, as I
Come and acknowledge what You did for me

On Calvary, on earthly tree
Where You paid the price for me, and died
Where You died to make me free
That I could live, forever in eternity

With You, my God, who love me so
With You I don’t deserve, and yet
Who paid the price for me
With You, who I hear now

In these whispers in Your Word
As Your Word speaks to me
Lo, I am undone
My God, You are so good

My God, You are faithful and
Constant through the ages, and remain
Forever to be found
In Holy Word, so long as time and Your will allows
You speak, from Word Your life

From the Living pages of Your Scriptures You
You find me where I am
And whisper, perfectly
To I who am unworthy

Your Word, Your Word
Your Word is enough
You are enough for me
Forever, for all eternity

My God You are more than enough
You are more than enough for me~

You Just Have to Hang On

When faced with power of
Holy God in Heaven we
Are powerless, truly we are nothing without

Him who saved us for Himself

When faced with mission to
Save the lost and heal the sick
We must not fear, for power of

He in us is
Enough, enough
Against this dark and evil age

Against any power of the earth

And if we ask, in repentance
If we call on His name
He will meet us, and He will give us Himself

In form of Holy Spirit fire

And we, must not hinder it
Not fear the fire of
His glory or

Seek to control where it rages

For it, for He
Serves only One
Only Him who made it so

And He, He is One with Him
The uncreated God in Heaven and
He is not tame, nor is He weak and feeble

He is the uncreated, holy God
The Great I AM, the uncontainable
Passionate Savior, the beautiful Lover

The jealous God, whose Name is such
Whose Name is Jealous

And we, when given fire are
Not to try and dim it or
Contain it for our use

Nor are we expected to
Do anything for God without Him
Without His hand leading us

For without Him, we cannot
Without Him we are weak and flesh
But with Him, but in His hands we are

Vessels for His name, children of the Living God
Saved by His own blood!

And when He asks us to
Do something that seems
Impossible, or too daunting for

Any man of earth

We must simply, trust in Him who is
Forever good, forever just and
Unyielding to evil and

Relent to, His Holy call
Surrender to His perfect will
We must simply, hang on, and let Him carry us

And let Him use us as He wills

For He can be trusted, and He is good
So let us trust Him with our lives and
Simply hang on, to His name and Spirit and

Trust, in Him who leads us on
And let His perfect will lead us to Him,
To have as walk as He did

Not by power of ourselves but
Only of Him who loves us so
We must simply, we must unyieldingly

Hang on, hang on to His Spirit and
Let Him guide us where He wills

For He can be trusted, and He is good
Let us give our all to Him
That we may be, worthy vessels of

His Holy Name and will
Children of, the God in Heaven and
Those led by His Spirit, consumes by

His very Spirit fire
Aflame by His love
Burning for the glory of, Him and Him alone

His, and His alone
Let us cling to Him who saves
To Him who bids us to simply hang on

Him who leads us on!
