Song: I Will Wait
Album: Whispered and Shouted

When I am tired You bring me comfort

I will wait; I will wait for You

When I am weak You give me strength [II Corinthians 12:9]

I will wait; I will wait for You

When I can’t walk You give me wings like an eagle [Isaiah 40:31]

I will wait; I will wait for You

When I’m alone You bring me peace

I will wait

I will wait for Your mercy

I will wait for Your plan to unfold

I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning [Lamentations 3:23]

When I am wounded You heal my broken bones [Psalm 147:3]

I will wait; I will wait for You

And when I sing You fill my heart with joy [Psalm 30]

I will wait; I will wait for You

And when I fear the unknown You give me peace

I will wait; I will wait for You

And when I call, You always answer me

I will wait

We wait for You like watchmen wait for morning [Psalm 130:6]

We wait for You like creation waits for spring

We wait for You knowing sometimes without warning

You reveal Your plan in ways that maybe we don’t understand

Song: Do I Trust You

Sometimes my little heart can't understand
What's in Your will, what's in Your plan.
So many times I'm tempted to ask You why,
But I can never forget it for long.
Lord, what You do could not be wrong.
So I believe You, even when I must cry.

Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the river flow?
Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the north wind blow?
You can see my heart,
You can read my mind,
And You got to know
That I would rather die
Than to lose my faith
In the One I love.
Do I trust You, Lord?
Do I trust You?

I know the answers, I've given them all.
But suddenly now, I feel so small.
Shaken down to the cavity in my soul.
I know the doctrine and theology,
But right now they don't mean much to me.
This time there's only one thing I've got to know.

Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the robin sing?
Do I trust You, Lord?
Does it rain in spring?
You can see my heart,
You can read my mind,
And You got to know
That I would rather die
Than to lose my faith
In the One I love.
Do I trust You, Lord?
Do I trust You?

I will trust You, Lord, when I don't know why.
I will trust You, Lord, till the day I die.
I will trust You, Lord, when I'm blind with pain!
You were God before, and You'll never change.
I will trust You.
I will trust You.
I will trust You, Lord.
I will trust You.

Song: Because He Lives

Chorus:
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth living
Just because He lives.

VERSE #1
There was a man His name was Jesus
He came to die; heal and restore
But greater still the calm assurance
We can face uncertain days
Because He lives.

VERSE #2
And then one day I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death gives way to victory
I'll see the lights of Glory
And I'll know He lives.

Song: Live Like You Were Dying
Album: Live Like You Were Dying

He said: "I was in my early forties,
"With a lot of life before me,
"An' a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
"I spent most of the next days,
"Looking at the x-rays,
"An' talking 'bout the options an' talkin’ ‘bout sweet time."
I asked him when it sank in,
That this might really be the real end?
How’s it hit you when you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?

An' he said: "I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

He said "I was finally the husband,
"That most the time I wasn’t.
"An' I became a friend a friend would like to have.
"And all of a sudden goin' fishin’,
"Wasn’t such an imposition,
"And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.
"Well, I finally read the Good Book,
"And I took a good long hard look,
"At what I'd do if I could do it all again,
"And then:

"I went sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An' what did you do with it?
An' what can I do with it?
An' what would I do with it?

"Sky diving, I went rocky mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu.
"And then I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I watched Blue Eagle as it was flyin'."
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."

"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."
"To live like you were dyin'."

STILL- Hillsong

Lyrics by Reuben Morgan

Verse 1

Hide me now

Under Your wing

Cover me

Within Your mighty hand

Chorus

When the oceans rise and the thunders roar

I will soar with You above the storm

Father, You are King over the flood

I will be still

Know You are God (Rest in your Love)

Verse 2

I rest my soul

In Christ alone

Know His power

In quietness and trust
