    Psalm 113

    Hold Fast

    Download track Buy track Lyrics

    Praise the Lord, praise all the servants of the Lord
    Praise the name, praise the name of the Lord
    Let the name of the Lord, let the name of the Lord
    Be praised, both now and evermore
    From the rising of the sun
    To the place where it sets down
    The name of the Lord is to be praised
    Is to be praised…is to be praised
    The Lord is exalted over all the nations
    His glory above the heavens
    The Lord is exalted over all the nations
    His glory above the heavens
    Who is like the Lord our God
    The One who sits enthroned on high
    Who stoops down to look
    On the heavens and the earth?
    He raises the poor from the dust
    And lifts the needy from the ash heap
    He seats them with princes
    With the princes of his people
    The princes of his people
    He settles the barren woman in her home
    As a happy mother of children
    Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord

    When Israel came out of Egypt
    Jacob from a people of foreign tongue
    Judah now God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion
    The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back
    The mountains skipped like rams
    You hills like lambs, like lambs, like lambs
    The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back
    The mountains skipped like rams
    You hills like lambs, like lambs, like lambs
    Why was it, O sea that you fled?
    O Jordan, must you turn your back?
    You mountains that you skipped like rams
    You hills, like lambs, like lambs, like lambs?

    Why was it O sea?
    Why was it O sea that you fled?
    O Jordan, you turned your back?
    You mountains, that you skipped like rams
    You lambs, you skipped like lambs?
    You hills like lambs

    Tremble O earth, tremble O earth
    Tremble at the presence of the God of Jacob
    Who turned the rock into a pool of water
    Springs of water…water

    Not to us, Lord, not to us
    But to Your name be glory
    Because of Your love and faithfulness
    Why do the nations say
    “Where is their God?”
    Our God is in heaven
    He does whatever pleases him

    But their idols are silver and gold
    Made by human hands
    They have mouths, but cannot speak
    Eyes, but cannot see
    They have ears, but cannot hear
    Noses, but cannot smell
    They have hands, but cannot feel
    Feet, but cannot walk
    Nor can they utter a sound from their throats
    Those who make them will be like them
    And so will all who trust in them
    All you Israelites, trust in the Lord
    He is their help and shield
    House of Aaron, trust in the Lord
    He is their help and shield
    All who fear him, trust in the Lord
    He is their help and shield.
    The Lord remembers us and will bless us
    He will bless us, his people Israel
    He will bless the house of Aaron
    He will bless those who fear the Lord
    Small and great alike
    May the Lord cause you to flourish
    Both you and your children
    May you be blessed by the Lord
    The Maker of heaven and earth
    The highest heavens belong to the Lord
    But the earth he has given to mankind
    It is not the dead who praise the Lord
    Those who go down to the place of silence
    It is we who extol the Lord
    Both now and forevermore
    Praise The Lord

    I love the Lord, He heard my voice
    He heard my voice. He heard my voice
    He heard my cry for mercy
    Because He has turned His ear to me
    I will call (I will call)
    I will call (I will call)
    I will call on the Lord for as long as I live

    I love the Lord, He heard my voice
    He heard my voice. He heard my voice
    He heard my cry

    I love the Lord, He heard my voice
    He heard my voice. He heard my voice
    He heard my cry for mercy
    He heard my cry for mercy

    Long before time
    Love breathed hope in the night
    Word that made the world
    Now in the sound of newborn cries
    Promised Immanuel
    Sharing our poverty
    Veiled in Your infinite glory

    Beautiful Savior
    You shine like the sun
    Author of Wonder
    Through all that Your hands have done
    My truest friend
    Beginning and End
    Beautiful Savior
    There is none other like You

    Oh wounded Lamb,
    From You we hid our face
    Never could we dream
    You would be suffering in our place
    Oh mystery of the cross
    You were forsaken by us
    Forever forgiving You are

    Oh Beautiful Savior
    You shine like the sun
    Author of Wonder
    Through all that Your hands have done
    My truest friend
    Beginning and End
    Oh Beautiful Savior
    There is none other like You

    Beautiful Savior
    You shine like the sun
    Author of Wonder
    Through all that Your hands have done
    My truest friend
    Beginning and End
    Oh Beautiful Savior
    There is none other like
    Beautiful Savior
    There is none other like You

    Will You Forgive

    Hold Fast

    Lord will You forgive
    Will You forgive my sin
    Though it was done in Eden’s night
    Where Adam sinned before?

    Lord will You forgive, the sin in which I run
    And running still, though still I do deplore?
    Will You forgive? Will You forgive?
    And when You’re done
    Lord You’re not done, for I have more

    Lord will You forgive, will You forgive the sin
    Through which I’ve won my friend to sin
    And made my sin their door?
    Lord will You forgive the sin that I did shun
    A year or two but wallowed in the score?

    But how Your Word assures
    That when I’ve breathed my last
    I will not perish on the shore
    You promise me Lord
    That at my death Your Son will shine
    As He shines now forevermore

    You forgive
    And when You’re done, Lord, You are done
    You forgive, You forgive
    And when You’re done Lord, You are done
    And I fear no more
    I fear no more

    For the bread, which You have broken
    For the wine, which You have poured
    For the words, which You have spoken
    Now we give You thanks, O Lord

    By this promise that You love us
    By your gift of peace restored
    By Your call to Heaven above us
    Hallow all our lives, O Lord

    In the world to which You send us
    Let your kingdom come

    With the saints who reign in glory
    Seated at our Father’s board
    May the Church that’s waiting for You
    Keep love’s tie unbroken, Lord

    The Faith By Which We Stand

    Hold Fast

    Download track Buy track Lyrics

    When storms rage on and earth gives way
    When waters roar and mountains quake
    When floods of fear come pounding hard
    The Spirit moves, confirms in us

    The faith by which we stand
    The faith that we hold fast
    Quenches every fiery doubt
    Not moved by winds of man
    We believe God’s word is true
    And trust His mighty power
    The rock of any hope we have
    The faith by which we stand

    The thief would come to kill, destroy
    And plotting ways to steal our joy
    Through the myriad of lies
    We place our confidence in Christ

    The faith by which we stand
    The faith that we hold fast
    Quenches every fiery doubt
    Not moved by winds of man
    We believe God’s word is true
    And trust His mighty power
    The rock of any hope we have
    The faith by which we stand

    Our God is faithful through it all
    Our help and strength, Immanuel
    Now until He comes again
    We will wholly lean on Him

    The faith by which we stand
    The faith that we hold fast
    Quenches every fiery doubt
    Not moved by winds of man
    We believe God’s word is true
    And trust His mighty power
    The rock of any hope we have
    The faith by which we stand
    The faith by which we stand

    The Faith By Which We Stand

Album Description

Once again I am surprised and humbled by God’s gracious provision. My very first recording project in 1984 was a result of Greg Nelson asking me what was in my heart to do and then setting about to help me realize that dream. This new recording happened the same way. Thank you, Greg, for your friendship, partnership, and generosity! It is an unexpected delight to still be working with you. Each arranger, orchestrator, player, and singer added his or her unique gift, and I am grateful.
