"A Beautiful Day"

It’s a beautiful day
Look what the Lord has made

It’s a beautiful day
We will shout His name

It’s a beautiful day
We will sing His praise

It’s a beautiful day
By His grace I’m saved

It’s a beautiful day
Look what the Lord has made!

"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

"It's Christmas At Last"

The weather outside is frightful,
but the fire is delightful

Jessica's here with her parents;
the tree is decked with presents

The Grinch is on the tube;
the Rackley boys are enthused

It's Christmas at last,
and we're having a blast!

"Exchange"

I have been
Arrogant
Proud
Lustful
Selfish
Greedy
Sinful
Worthy of death

You were
Meek
Humble
Loving
Selfless
Giving
Holy
Worthy of life

But you took mine
And gave me yours

I have nothing to offer,
Not even excuses;
You have everything I need,
Yes, even forgiveness
