"Banner"

Oh, say can you see by the Lord's holy light
Who so proudly we nailed to Golgotha's cursed tree?
Whose back stripes and white scars from betrayal's delight
Oh the pain he endured was for our hope and healing
Then the angels declared he was no longer there
The grave is empty now our Lord is risen
Oh, say that Jesus still reigns eternally
O'er the homes of the saved and the hearts of the free!

Praise God!

"Warning Of Rain"

The sky is falling
The street is rising
You could still slide
Despite your sizing
So let's decrease our speed
And increase their lead
And arrive all the more wisely

"Armed"

Girded
Righted
Shod
Shielded
Saved
Worded

"New To Me"

Nothing new under the sun
But as I read of Your Son
It’s new to me

Every page that I turn
Every truth that I learn
It’s new to me

Through the Bible seven score
Never seen that verse before
It’s new to me

Once was lost, now I’m saved
By His grace through my faith
I’m new to me

"Simeon"

I see the whole world
All of history unfurled
But in this moment
I'm holding this boy

He shall set straight our feet
And be the one to redeem
At last, He's come!
I'm holding Him now!

I've waited these years
Lived with my fears
Now I can relax
And be held by this King
