Verse 1 We are not what we should be We haven’t sought what we should seek We’ve seen Your glory, Lord, but looked away Our hearts are bent, our eyes are dim Our finest works are stained with sin And emptiness has shadowed all our ways Chorus Jesus Christ, shine into our night Drive our dark away Till Your glory fills our eyes Jesus Christ, shine into our night Bind us to Your cross, where we find life Verse 2 Still we often go astray We chase the world, forget Your grace But You have never failed to bring us back Reveal the depths of what You’ve done The death You died, the vict’ry won You made a way for us to know Your love Credits: Music and words by Joel Sczebel © 2011 Sovereign Grace Worship (ASCAP)

Verse 1 I once was lost in darkest night Yet thought I knew the way The sin that promised joy and life Had led me to the grave I had no hope that You would own A rebel to Your will And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still Verse 2 But as I ran my hell-bound race Indifferent to the cost You looked upon my helpless state And led me to the cross And I beheld God’s love displayed You suffered in my place You bore the wrath reserved for me Now all I know is grace Chorus Hallelujah! All I have is Christ Hallelujah! Jesus is my life Verse 3 Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone And live so all might see The strength to follow Your commands Could never come from me O Father, use my ransomed life In any way You choose And let my song forever be My only boast is You Credits: Music and words by Jordan Kauflin © 2008 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI)

Oh how great the price Now our lives are Yours Verse 2 The priceless blood of Jesus, this gracious cup A life spring overflowing, poured out for us He has conquered every sin For the ones who trust in Him Bridge The cup we drink, the bread we eat Reminds us You are all we need And makes us long for Your wedding feast Credits: Music and words by George Romanacce, Alex Couch, and Dave Dournier © 2011 Sovereign Grace Worship (ASCAP)/Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI)

As You Go 04:20
Verse 1 As you go, may you know the love of Christ How deep and long, how high and wide As you leave, may you seek to win the prize And find His death to be your life Chorus May you go in the love of your Father God May you go in the grace of Christ May you go in the power of the Spirit now To bring Him glory with your life Verse 2 As you go, may you know the pow’r of grace His very strength for what’s to come As you leave, may you feel His mighty hand Guiding your steps in the race you run Verse 3 As you go, may you show His heart to bless The ones with less, the blind and lost As you leave, may you be the light of Christ And show our hope is in the cross Credits: Music and words by Mark Altrogge © 2011 Sovereign Grace Praise (BMI)

about

Recorded live at WorshipGod11, 'The Gathering' contains 15 songs that progressively tell the story of the gospel and our appropriate response to it. It's a story God's people have been celebrating together for thousands of years. Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and will come back one day to live forever with those he redeemed. We pray these songs will help you remember and rejoice in that good news--over and over again.

The songs on The Gathering can be sung individually, but together they form a progression that reflects the gospel and our response to it.

A call to worship (“There Is One Reason”) leads to proclaiming God’s greatness (“Greater Than We Can Imagine,” “Come Praise and Glorify”).

In view of God’s glory, we more clearly see our sinfulness and need for mercy before his holiness (“Shine into Our Night,” “Have Mercy on Me”). We then rejoice in the good news that God has forgiven us and reconciled us to himself through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ (“Now Why This Fear,” “Isaiah 53”).

A fresh awareness of God’s mercy in Christ makes us grateful for his generosity and kindness in every way (“Generous King”), which leads us to eagerly ask for more of his grace (“When You Move”). A desire to know God’s will through his Word (“Your Words of Life,” “Show Us Christ”) is followed by expressions of commitment and communion (“All I Have Is Christ,” “We Hunger and Thirst”).

Having rehearsed and celebrated the gospel and its effect in our lives, we want to take this good news to the world (“Lift High the Cross”).

A final song reminds us that we leave relying not on our own strength, but on the love of God, the grace of Christ, and the power of the Spirit (“As You Go”).
