WITHIN WITHOUT
I come to thee
With outstretched arms
And hands lifted high.
I come to thee
O Lamb of God,
To be rid of my soul’s afflictions.
I come to thee,
O Lamb of God,
Just as I am.
Trouble and toil
Every child may know
But I run to You
To find peace and rest.
Thy promises are true,
Thy mercy endureth eternally.
I come to thee
Broken and battered
By conflicts and doubts.
O Lamb of God,
Thou has loved me
More than I deserve.
I am sinful and hopeless,
Born into iniquity.
O Lamb of God,
Change my heart,
Renew my spirit.
Make me whole again.
Within I am without You.
Without You, I’m nothing within.
O Lamb of God,
I come to thee.

If the heavens declare Your glory,
Then the stars display Your majesty
And the earth showcase the firmament of Your power.
How great, how magnificent doth all thy works reward You.
How great, how wonderfully doth thy word goeth forth unchanged.
Then sings my soul:
My savior.
My God.
My rock.
My fortress.
My present help in a time of trouble.
My future is held in Your hands.
My strong tower.
My wise counselor.
My creator.
My redeemer.
To thee only have I to praise.
To thee only have I to thank.
For the creativity that surrounds me
And everything done to lead me back to You.
What is man that You take account of him?
Who am I to know Your love so dear?
I stand in awesome wonder
At the beauty of You.
Holy and righteous.
Perfect and just.
How great thou art.

EVERY HOUR HERE
O God, merciful and mighty,
In this quiet solitude,
I discover the peace that passes understanding.
Outside is wickedness,
Around the world lies chaos
And temptations close in fast.
I need thee every hour here
And so much more
Pass the hour here.
If you didn’t love me,
All that I have would fade away.
If you do not guide me,
All that I am would cease to be.
Come quickly Lord,
Reign over me, show me thy mercy.
Teach me thy will.
Bless me now, my savior.
I will walk this world with Your words
To light my every step.
I will run to Your sanctuary
And remember the sacrifice
You made for these souls who scorn You still.
Every hour upon the hour,
I need thee every hour here.
Time means nothing
When I look into your sky.
