"Endurance"

Betrayal
Abandonment
Accusations
Mockery
Beatings
Humiliation
Torture
Pain
Death

You endured these things for me
You submitted Yourself to the Father's will
You knew the plan and the joy set before You,
Yet along the way, You suffered so much

I am grateful beyond words
Were I to speak them, they would fall short
Much like me, I fall short
Your glory the goal, my failure the result

You endured these things for me
You caught me when I fell
You placed me on my feet
And told me it is well

"Glory And Righteousness"

"Glory and righteousness,"
The heavens do declare;
He's a skillful artist:
Hunter, bull, sisters, bear

He called to the stars: "Be!"
Placed each with precision,
Set them all in motion:
A master's keen vision

The stars tell His story
From beginning to end:
From creation to Christ,
And that He'll come again

Lighting the night, the stars
Also light my life's path;
Jesus, Lord of my heart:
A clocksmith, plying His craft

"I Will Worship You"

Bow my head, raise my hands,
Stand in awe of Your great might;
I'll come boldly with no fright;
This time is just for You;
I will dance in Your sight

Showed the truth, shed Your blood;
Lord, Your love is what I need;
I submit to Your good lead;
I will do anything:
Lord, You need only ask

I will worship You
Like You want me to,
And You'll hold me tight,
Jesus, all through my life;
I will worship You
Like You want me to,
And I will not let go
'Til You bless my soul

God, You're good, this I know;
Where You plant, I will grow;
I'll just keep my eyes on You;
Lord, I am ready;
Yours is a glorious light

Born in likeness of men,
You came to bear all my sin;
Jesus, You are amazing!
Lord, whatever You ask me You know

I will worship You
Like You want me to,
And You'll hold me tight,
Jesus, all through my life;
I will worship You
Like You want me to,
And I will not let go
'Til You bless my soul

Jesus, Your life is my life,
So I can serve You right;
In You I live, move, and am;
Anything that You ask;
You're the King of kings and Lord of lords!

I will worship You
Like You want me to,
And You'll hold me tight,
Jesus, all through my life;
I will worship You
Like You want me to,
And I will not let go
'Til You bless my soul
